14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' Name had become known.
Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 But others said, “He is Elijah.”
And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” 17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her. 18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.”
19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet he heard him gladly.
21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22 For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests.
And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” 23 And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.” 24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26 And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. He went and beheaded him in the prison 28 and brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
This passage of the Gospels could be titled, "Seek and Find."
So many of the verses we know so well apply to these verses from Mark's 6th Chapter in Mark's Gospel.
For Jesus' name had become known.
Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 But others said, “He is Elijah.”
And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
Yes, a raising of the voice of Elijah. Raising from the dead - so many have an idea of God.
These are not murmurs of the lost sheep, these are the sheep Jesus has had compassion upon.
Mark 11:13-15
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
14 and if you are willing to accept it,
he is Elijah
who is to come.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.”
Herod the fox. The nickname given by Jesus the Christ, Only Son of God. Herod's position in life was scanning the Horizon and to understand the news, the reactions and see the sway of life. The Resurrection is upon them.
Herod! Is proving the Bible is accurate? ! Yes.
Luke 19:40
Jesus said in reply,
“I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!”
Stone cold Herod.
Matthew 3:9
And do not presume to say to yourselves,
'We have Abraham as our father,'
for I tell you,
God is able
from these stones
to raise up children for Abraham.
What is Herod Testifying to:
1 Kings 17:17–24
And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives.” And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”
Isaiah 26:19–20
Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For your dew is a dew of light,
and the earth will give birth to the dead.
Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by.
Ezekiel 37:7–10
So I prophesied as I was commanded.
And as I prophesied, there was a sound,
and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together,
bone to its bone.
And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them.
But there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me,
“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath,
Thus says the Lord God:
Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”
So I prophesied as He commanded me,
and the breath came into them,
and they lived and stood on their feet,
an exceedingly great army.
On Good Friday, Pontius Pilate felt his employment required
Pilate to write Emperor Claudius and
explain Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
The Letter no longer exists,
however, historians remark upon the Letter.
According to J.K. Elliott (1993), the text may be the oldest of the Christian Pilate literature
End of the second century
C.E. Tertullian (Apol. 21.24)
and
Eusebius (Hist. eccl. 2.2.)
mention a report from Pilate to the reigning emperor. Armenian and Syriac versions of the letter exist as well, although they appear to bear little connection to the Greek and Latin forms of the text.
Thus says the Lord God:
Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”
So I prophesied as He commanded me,
and the breath came into them,
and they lived and stood on their feet,
an exceedingly great army.
Matthew 27:53
And coming out of the tombs
after His resurrection
they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
This verse describes the resurrection of saints after Jesus' death, and their appearance in the city of Jerusalem.
Isaiah
Begins
HIS
First
Chapter
Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God, 2 which
He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
3 concerning His Son,
4 who was descended from David according to the flesh
and
Declared to be the Son of God in power
according to the Spirit of Holiness
by His resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
Through Whom we have received
grace and apostleship
to bring about the obedience of faith
for the sake of His Name among all the nations,
including you
who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,
7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel,
for it is the power of God
For salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has
shown it to them.
20 For His invisible attributes,
namely, His eternal power
and
divine nature,
have been clearly perceived
Ever since the creation of the world,
in the things
that have been made.
So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
1 Peter 2:25
For you were straying like sheep,
but have now
returned
to the Shepherd
and
Overseer of your souls.
John 10:9
I am
the door.
If anyone enters by Me,
he will be saved
and
will go in and out and find pasture.
Abba, Father!

Faithfulness,

SELF CONTROL
And ask You
for appropriate leadership.
Worldwide leaders
condemned the erratic and unfaithful Sermon
given by Bishop Budde.
Who previously condemned
President Trump
for saving St. John's Church from arson,
saying President Trump wasn't kind
to the homeless during arson,
and not a person to hold up the Bible.
Then condemning him for following the vote
the Vote of the People
for The Laws of the Land
and ceasing gender mutation on children,
as the Catholic Church Condemns
as a failure to provide Dignity to each Person.
Let's pray
for the departure
of what
is not
good.
Worldwide leaders said,
"The Sermon represents a church
not led by Jesus Christ and His Teachings
and Word.
A broken down
liberal refuge institution seeking only donations."
We pray the Blessing
of Growth
upon the Church
Proclaiming
The Entire Word of God
and the
'Growing' Portion
of the Episcopal Church.
Remembering
the fall of the Church
from
17 million people
to 500,000.
The Anglican Church of The United States
fuels the genuine and compassionate
blessed outreach
of the Worldwide Anglican Communion
GAFCON
and not the portion of the
Episcopal Church in
THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL
We Pray
for Leadership
in The National Cathedral
Shining
The Light of Love Peace and Joy
upon
The Teachings of Jesus Christ.
God of Love
God of Encouragement
God of the Bible.
The safety
of those
helping the earth
to heal.
Let evil and practicing evil
depart
far
from us
and our children.
With Your Help
We will act justly
and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with You, our God.
Cover us
in peace worldwide.
Please, Father, remember
North Carolina has flooded
California has fire we have never seen.
Give us more of
Your Strength
and Hope.
Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well,
in Jesus Christ.
Help us seek and find
and bring,
to become,
more Heaven
to this earth.
Gentle rain for California
putting out the fires
speedy insurance
claims
and fast rebuilding
realizing the standard building codes
even of Reagan
were safe.
Peace
