Hebrews 11:1-35 ~ what is seen was not made out of things that are visible




What Happened to Jeremiah




Jeremiah 44:11-14, 26-30


11 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 



Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah. 12 I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. 

In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine they shall be consumed. From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, and they shall become an oath, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. 

13 I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, 

So that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there. 

"For they shall not return, 
except some fugitives.”






 26 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: 

 

Behold,

I have sworn by my great name, says the Lord, that my name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘As the Lord God lives.’ 


 

Behold,

I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them. 


28 And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt 
to the land of Judah, 
few in number;
 and all the remnant of Judah, 
who came to the land of Egypt to live, 
shall know whose word will stand, 
mine or theirs. 

29 This shall be the sign to you, declares the Lord, that I will punish you in this place, in order that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for harm: 



 

Behold,

30 Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.”




Hebrews 11:1-35




By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.


By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 
Enoch did not worry God. Enoch had God's compassion.

By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen
Noah did not worry God, Noah had God's Compassion and Care.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
God knew exactly where Abraham was going.

God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city.


By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.





23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.



29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.


32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, 
enforced justice, 
obtained promises, 
stopped the mouths of lions, 
34 quenched the power of fire, 
escaped the edge of the sword, 
were made strong out of weakness, 
became mighty in war, 
put foreign armies to flight.

35 Women received back their dead by resurrection.






What Happened to Jeremiah?

Jeremiah returned to live in the home the Lord told him to purchase from the prison hole in the Davidic Palace. 

How did Jeremiah get there?  Nothing is impossible for the Lord. Many possibilities.



Ezekiel said mere bones will rise up and have flesh. 


Ezekiel 36

 23 And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 

26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.

 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. 


Many Possibilities.  All Things are Possible with God.


Acts 20:9-10

9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.”



John 5:13 

The man didn't know, 
for Jesus had disappeared into the crowd.


 Luke 4:30 

Jesus passing through their midst, 
he went away.



David knew where to go in Battle, The Lord directed him to know by the wind in the trees. 

Hezekiah was about to be killed by great armies. They became confused and attacked each other and went home and slaughtered the king, their father. 


2 Chronicles 20:20-22

20 And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” 21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say,

“Give thanks to the Lord,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.”

22 And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah so that they were routed.


Another time singing was used, the enemy army couldn't tell which direction the bold, confident singing was coming from, and, confused, the enemy army killed each other until the entire army was dead.

Gideon also did this with mere noise, in the middle of the night.



2 Chronicles 22:11

11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the king's sons who were about to be put to death, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Thus Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.


David killed Goliath with a stone.

David was a Shepherd, as surely as Jeremiah was the Shepherd of Israel.  Jeremiah 50 refers to a lion and safety. 


1 Samuel 17:34-37

But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. Your servant has killed both lion and bear."






 

Abba, Father,


Chapter 49 of the Isaiah Scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls 

Isaiah 49:8-15

 Thus says the Lord:

“In a time of favor I have answered you;

in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you and give you

as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
to apportion the desolate heritages

 Saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’

They shall feed along the ways;
on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a road,
and 
my highways 
shall be raised up.


 John 8:36

Therefore the Son
shall make you free,
you shall be free indeed


John 8:32

Then you will know the truth, 
and the truth will set you free.






Thank You, Father,
Dwell in me,
Dwell in those I love and fill them with Your Love and
Hope and Glory.
All Your Promises.
Help us to Seek You First.

We pray strongly and diligently for the child in Wilmer, Texas,
the child abduction,
the 10-year-old boy
to be returned
unharmed to his family.
Let Psalm 122 be theirs.

And in Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

Please and Thank You, Lord,
I want to stop coughing now
and run on Joy.


We ask in Jesus Christ 
His Holy Name
We should share The Peace
worldwide
The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof
Amen







Almighty and Everlasting God, 

You made the universe with all its marvelous order, 
its atoms, worlds, and galaxies,
 and the infinite complexity of living creatures: 

Grant that, as we probe the mysteries of Your creation, 
we may come to know You more truly, 
and more surely fulfill our role 
in Your eternal purpose

 In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
Amen

Jeremiah 33:1-3 ~ Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known †

 



Jeremiah 33:1-3




The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah 
a second time,
while he was still shut up in the court of the guard

“Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: 

 Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."



We will walk by faith. And then the Lord begins to reveal clues, many found in this century, to shine a light on the path of walking by faith. Was Jeremiah saved?  Most people would certainly and deeply want to know. What clues will we find? 

Jeremiah's story is one I particularly feel great admiration, interest and deep respect for the historic and turbulent time Jeremiah carried this weight with the Living God. So incredibly recorded by the Word of God and the Babylonian Chaldean Empire of Nebuchadnezzar II.

We all raise our hands and hearts, Jeremiah, Servant of the Lord, to remain in God's Promises of safety and comfort. Thrive Jeremiah, thrive. 









Jeremiah did very much, indeed, did see great and hidden things, he did not know. And he said, "Oh, Lord, no, thank You, but I am just too young to do this." 

Not what we would want broadcast on our lives or resume. 

God tends to show us, all the people of the Bible say words - have emotions, tremendous upset, rudeness, laziness, selfishness, and attitudes they prefer the Lord not to show. The Mother of God told Jesus to get home immediately, He looked crazy, ill. And she lost Him, on several occasions, on various levels. Jesus even refused to bless Mary for feeding Him as an infant and saving His Unborn self. Saying, Blessed instead are those doing the Word of God. When Mary told, all the world, she would be blessed, she might not have realized The Lord meant shown as an actual, errant, frail, foolish and selfish human being with great bravery and warmth.  Mary shows us, the Shepherds went home. The birth in a barn, no real invitation to warmth. Even Christmas, for this Amazingly Blessed Event, had discomfort.

Mary is the chosen Mother of God and, probably, is the one, having saved Jesus' life more than twice and going the entire distance - Mary, most likely, is the one who sits at the Right Hand of Jesus Christ in Heaven. And God has shown her to be flawed and needing Jesus for Salvation. We are worthy to be loved, in His Heart and His Steadfast Love. 

No human being will be the golden example of God. Do not look to humans to be saved.
Salvation is the work of God. 

The Gift of Salvation is His redeeming and forgiving Grace.  Moses did not enter the goal of the Exodus. Because this was a work of the Lord's. St. Jerome was never the Pope.  John, The Beloved Disciple, his life wasn't considered to be Vatican. David did not wear a Halo.  Evah. Mary, had a marriage, a husband and children. And Mary's twice reported, stellar and seamless family in the Gospels, did not follow Jesus or carry signs saying, "Good Job, Jesus." Or even wait beside the lines of people with a glass of water. 



Discomfort.


Where was Baruch's Bulla found?
In the stone prison pit, in David's Palace
dropped into Jeremiah's time in the Court of the Guard.
A stone hole in the ground.
Reminds us of ? !


To find Greater Joy and Comfort. 
In the Realm of God, 
Forever unto Eternity.


 I will answer you, 
and will tell you great and hidden things 
that you have not known.





Jeremiah 1

18 And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, 
an iron pillar, and bronze walls, 
against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.


What did Jeremiah think of God's Offer?






Metal was not a product of Judea.  A product of the U.K. during the Bronze Age. Not many metal Pillars. Not a building material. Which was probably a point the Lord was making, about sinking or building. Not how we would want our lives to be explained, as our goal.





Jeremiah 30:10


'Fear not, 
O Jacob My servant,' 

Declares the LORD, 
'And do not be dismayed, O Israel;

For behold, 
I will save you from afar 

And your offspring from the land of their captivity. 
And Jacob will return 
and will be quiet and at ease, 
And no one will make him afraid.









11'For I am with you,' 
Declares the LORD, 
'to save you

For I will destroy completely all the nations 
where I have scattered you
Only I 
will not destroy you completely. 
But I will chasten you justly
 And will by no means leave you unpunished.'





The Remnant

Jeremiah is shown to have been writing to the Judean captives, Nebuchadnezzar had proclaimed them not to be called slaves, not captives, but exiles. Emperor Nebuchadnezzar II hoped to learn from the ways of God and bring them to the Babylonian Chaldean Empire. Jeremiah 25 is encoded to hide Babylon from those not entirely familiar with the Ascending Hebrew Alphabet. To Rise Up To The Lord.   

And Jeremiah 29 discusses with the exiles their problems and struggles living in captivity. Jeremiah was in Jerusalem.







Jeremiah 39

Freedom of the Captives from the 2nd Exodus

17 But I will deliver you on that day, 
Declares the Lord

And you shall not be given 
into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 


I discussed Jeremiah one day with a friend of ours, who has been to Seminary. And he said, this is one of the mysteries of the Word of God. What happened to Jeremiah? According to the Word of God, He leaves Jeremiah being hauled off, against his will, to see what the ancient Egyptian enemy of Israel and Judea, will do with the remnants. And it's an unwise, regrettable, extreme and foolish idea to travel to do this, but he is taken by force to Egypt. By the people who are arrogant to have ignored Jeremiah for years, but suddenly feel that Jeremiah should live or die with them. Not a congenial invitation. And this is where the Word of God's Holy Spirit concludes the life of Jeremiah.

History, of course, continues. And what is history? The victors write history, yes, but. And then you find the Ipuwur, of Ancient Days, explaining the Exodus from the view point of the everyday journalist explaining fear and politics. Not ever hoping for the Pharaoh to return. That Pharaoh had no plan, whatsoever, about frogs, blood of the Nile, Hurricanes that are a pillar of fire. Letting the servants/slaves go with expensive gifts from their masters. Plague. Hail on fire, killing all the crops and livestock. Surely, if man had a plan for the Hand of God's Plan. The utter and complete devastation of the known world. The end of water, food, health, weather, crops, livestock, enslaved population carried off by the weirdest weather ever known. Flaming hail from the sky. And what happens? The army is utterly taken, but in rolls the Pharaoh as the last survivor. And you find this in the tomb of Setti II. Who was not quite the victor. And history records what it was like to have grown up with Mose. Mosie. Moses. (Bob. Bobbie. Salt Papyrus 124)





Salt Papyrus 124 Up Close - Very Clear
The Papyrus discussing Moses.
British Museum EA 10055, if only this was still displayed. And not put in the vault by the judgement of men. Who write explanations about the "cartoons" of Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini. 

Late 19th dynasty, c. 1200 BC 1200 BC 1200 BC 1200 BC 1200 BC 1200 BC
From Deir el-Medina
The papyrus contains the petition of problems of Amennakhte = Mose

Seti II - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seti_II







What would David and Michelangelo say to the word, "cartoon."


The judgement of men. Who write explanations about the "cartoons"  of Michelangelo, Raphael, Bernini. Can this even be fathomed? This new term of 'cartoon'. As if this isn't cynical and sinister.  No, of course not a judgmental word, spit it out ....."cartoon."








18 For I will surely save you, 
and you shall not fall by the sword, 
but you shall have your life as a prize of war, 
because you have put your trust in me,

Declares the Lord.



When the Babylonian Captivity was released, we discovered in the 1960s, the remnant God specifically promised, left the DNA of the Tribes. As much DNA as found today of the tribes of Israel. The Remnant left in Jerusalem after the 3 raids of Nebuchadnezzar II carrying off Judah, was not total. People lived and worshiped, in the remains of Jerusalem. Fulfilling His Word.


What these people survived!  

And then you have to ask yourself       why would God end the story of Jeremiah doing a work of God 

That museums used to hope to glimpse and endlessly discuss how to see?  And possibly take from the country of origin? And, then acquire to own. Then decades, later, label as cartoons? Or hide in a library hidden from view.

So you have to ask yourself .....    Why would God end the story of Jeremiah doing a work of God and taken to Egypt.

Back to the comparison we gave of Mary.  
Mary is pregnant, taken on a life ending, probably, donkey ride of 80 miles to Bethlehem to give birth, where women end their lives in childbirth, into a stable.  And she endures the waiting to see if Joseph will divorce their betrothal and she will be stoned to death. And then the Shepherds arrive to tell her, no, really, they saw the Angels too. 

Smile. So you are a Jewish, girl, teenager, who made the best marriage possible. 

You are the poor, side of the descendants of David.  Who has been taken to enough gatherings as a descendant of David to see the lofty disdain of the ultra king, king, king, king 14 generations of Davidic kings' nobility. And your father's name is ... Heli. The "hell of I"? Remember, this IS the Bible and names are important! Heli succeeded in linking his daughter and his lineage back to the king side of the Davidic Line.  And Mary knows, time to get out of Nazareth fast, "with great haste" and visit Elizabeth. 'Dad, today I saw an Angel and he said, I'm pregnant.' And that ends ....the building Joseph has been doing on the family house. Yes, you bet, the building stops.  And Mary "leaves with haste" to visit the more understanding family. And then, no marriage, to the hugely Pregnant Mary, just 'a good luck on that donkey, hussy. ' And the barn first birth. Yeah, good luck. Hussy.

Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you sit in wonder on that Stable in Bethlehem with blood, umbilical cord, straw. Animals and what they drop on the floor. Feed, and the critters who want to eat the animal feed. Possibly, a barn cat and all the cat equipment.  And sitting next to Joseph, who probably got you out of Nazareth - to save your life from Heli, good reason. And Joseph says, says, says he believes you, but there has not been a marriage ceremony. Did I see Gabriel? Wow, that's a lot of blood on the floor. What's going to happen next?

And you... the Jewish girl... sitting next to Heli's ideal marriage catch. With this Baby, called Jesus. And, thankfully, Shepherds rush in to confirm - yes - Angels are Announcing.  And Mary pondered these things in her heart. Yes. Thank You, Lord God. Thank You, Jesus. A fair and realistic response to - what in the world - just happened.  


Exodus. The Exodus of Mary's life, Mary's entire LIFE, when Jesus is born.

What would Mary say to us at this precipice?  Wouldn't she have trepidation? Her soul would be vastly blessed and vastly hormonal and vastly troubled? Thank God for the Shepherds confirming her vision.

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.  “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. 

Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”




The Voice of Scripture isn't just the man writing down ideas. 

There is far more going on even in the lack of punctuation.


What happened to Jeremiah? 


“I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out all right.” 
― Billy Graham

History of the Jews, not Scripture, provides the information the delegation arrived at the gates of the Great Hall of Egyptian Governing. And as they waited on the steps, like the Vatican being struck by lightning, an earthquake struck the delegation and many were killed. No list of names is provided, we can be quite sure. Not even Nebo-Sarsekim, who rescued Jeremiah during Nebuchadnezzar II's war invasion of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 39:3. And in the Babylonian
Cuneiform. 

History does not tell us Jeremiah perished in Egypt!

Hebrews 11:6 

And without faith it is impossible to please him, 
for whoever would draw near to God 
must believe that He exists 
and 
that He rewards those who seek Him.


Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, 
the conviction of things not seen.



Mark 11:22-24 

And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 

Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 
‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ 
and does not doubt in his heart, 
but believes that what He says will come to pass, 
it will be done for him. 
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, 
believe that you have received it, 
and it will be yours.



2 Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Proverbs 3:5-6 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 
and do not lean on your own understanding. 
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Luke 1:37 

For nothing will be impossible with God. 








What happened to Jeremiah? 



Hebrews 6:18 
God cannot lie when He makes a promise, 
and He cannot lie when he makes an oath.


Hebrews 6

17 So when God desired to show more convincingly 
to the heirs of the promise 
the unchangeable character 
of His purpose, 
He guaranteed it with an oath, 
18 so that by two unchangeable things, 
in which it is 
impossible 
for God to lie, 

we who have fled for refuge 
might have strong encouragement 
to hold fast 
to the hope 
set before 
us.



  


Terrace gardening was started after the Exodus,
to find areas catching the rainfall.
And can be seen today in Israel.


Jeremiah 46

27 “But fear not, O Jacob my servant,
nor be dismayed, O Israel;
for lo, I will save you from afar,
and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease,
and none shall make him afraid.





Abba, Father,

Jacob knew the Blessings of God
are for ALL his children. 

The House of the Lord
is where You dwell. 
Both the Church and the soul
asking Jesus Christ to dwell.

The Psalm 122 
is for Israel
and for Jeremiah
and for you
and for me
in Jesus Christ.

To Believe in our heart
and declare
Jesus is the Lord.

I was glad when they said to me, 
 “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” 
Our feet have been standing within your gates, 
O Jerusalem! 

 Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, 
to which the tribes go 
up,
 the tribes of the Lord, 
as was decreed for Israel

To give thanks 

To the Name of the Lord. 
There thrones for judgment were set, 
 the thrones of the house of David. 

 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! 
 “May they be secure who love you! 

Peace be within your walls 
 and 
security within your towers!


For my brothers and companions' sake 
 I will say, “Peace be within you!”
 
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, 
 I will seek your good.



 The Lord,
The Lord
The Lord!!!
 A God merciful and gracious, 
slow to anger, 
and Abounding 
in steadfast love and faithfulness, 
keeping steadfast love for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, 
but who will by no means clear the guilty.

He Likes us,
He Really, Really Likes us
Like Sally Field, in the 4th Row.








Thank You, Father,
Dwell in me,
Dwell in those I love and fill them with Your Love and
Hope and Glory.
All Your Promises.
Help us to Seek You First.

We pray strongly and diligently for the child in Wilmer, Texas,
the child abduction,
the 10-year-old boy
to be returned
unharmed to his family.
Let Psalm 122 be theirs.

And in Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

Please Lord,
I want to stop coughing now
and run on Joy.

The Lord 
The Lord
The Lord
Jesus Christ is His Holy Name.
AMEN.

Genesis 2 10-12

A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden,

The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
