Daniel 1:8 ~ And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief †

 July 4th has great memories for all of us. Warm memories, on so many levels

The Scriptures know about Parades, and new nations as well.


Exodus, a cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.







Saturday, 10 March 597 B.C.



What we could consider, as Babylonian handwritten Post Cards,
these Agree with Jeremiah in intricate details. From 597 B.C., housed in the British Museum


Even the food rations of the King of Judea and his sons, in captivity.







Daniel 1:8


And God gave 
Daniel favor and compassion 
in the sight of the chief 



By the time God was giving Daniel such mercy and beautiful gifts, Daniel had walked 900 ancient miles from Jerusalem to Babylon. Hard core miles as a slave from a ruined Jerusalem.




Did Jesus know America existed? Can we prove this specifically, other than Jesus is the Son of the Most High, Light of the light, Light of the world since Genesis 1?

Matthew 4

 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain 
and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 

9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, 
if.... you will fall down..... 
and worship me.” 

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,

“‘You shall Worship the Lord your God
    and Him only shall you serve.’”



Is there vague reference to the New World of the North American Continent? Yes. The USA is victor in two World Wars.

Isaiah 18: 7

At that time tribute will be brought to the LORD of Hosts 
from a people tall and smooth, 
from a people feared near and far, 
a nation mighty and conquering, 
whose land the rivers divide, 
to Mount Zion, 
the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.







Rivers?

The Mississippi River. And the Columbia and Colorado rivers flow west to the Pacific Ocean, while the Missouri River, the Mississippi River, and the Rio Grande flow east from the Divide to the Atlantic Ocean. The Saint Lawrence River Divide is a continental divide in central and eastern North America that separates the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin from the southerly Atlantic Ocean watersheds.


U.S. President Harry Truman was the first world leader to officially recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state on May 14, 1948

On December 6, 2017, President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and stated that the American embassy would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

President Donald Trump has brokered a peace agreement between Sudan and Israel – the third such agreement between Israel and an Arab-Muslim nation in less than three months. Today, Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace and to normalize their relations in another landmark agreement brokered by President Trump. Oct 23, 2020





Was the Lord our God pleased when The Declaration of Independence was signed, when James Madison wrote The Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights?


July 4th, 1776


1609-1776 There was no religious freedom in the colonies of England. Quakers and Baptists were often forced to pay higher taxes or were banished. New England residents who failed to attend worship services on Sunday morning and afternoon were fined or put into stocks. Failing to glorify God for all his good gifts was a sacrilege.

1609 A.D., Jamestown ended in cannibalism. We never suffer much over the minors and young people, primarily from Great Britain, who made up of most of the people on the ships coming to the colonies of England. But the indentured servants' bones show they had their shoulders worn away with work. Wretched. Young teens, many. White Slavery.

And this is where the cannibalism started - the indentured servants buried not in the graveyard. Between one-half and two-thirds of white immigrants to the American colonies between the 1630s and the American Revolution had come under indentured servitude. About 75% were under the age of 25. 

The truth is a certain small part, some estimate up to 33%, of the white colonial population of America was brought by force, and a much larger portion came in response to deceit and misrepresentation on the part of the recruiting agents. Kidnapping is recorded and falls clearly into the category of "white slavery."

The beginnings of the indentured servants were the first died. All of them. As more died, they left shelter and supplies for the next batch to survive. White slavery. Who was part of this? Benjamin Franklin, one of the younger children, his parents had 17 children. Benjamin Franklin was smart, smart to run from being unfed and worked to death.

How many died? Half a million or more indentured servants? At least a third. 

Are 500,000 deaths important by 1776? The population of The United States of America July 4, 1776 was 2.5 million. Yes, this is supremely significant.

We will never know the exact count of slave deaths in the USA from 1609 to 1865. Those lives, the harsh cruelty we know did occur, said those lives did not matter. And this is part of the human condition, Genesis, the first Book of the Bible, mentions slaves in Chapter 20. The child labeled as, 'extra or unneeded.' We hope to outlive unwanted pregnancies and human death in all ages of heart beat life, by oppression. Good hearts making better choices.

Does this negate the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr. telling ALL of us to live His Dream?

No, instead, let us remember oppression from one another and families selling each other into oblivion, as Joseph was. Remember the Brave, who have fought to give us Freedom. 620,000 Americans (1861-1865) died, establishing a human being is not property. All of God's mankind deserving all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.


Psalm 133 

Behold, how good and pleasant it is
    when brothers dwell in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
    running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
    running down on the collar of his robes!
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
    which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
   Life 
forevermore


In 1807, British William Wilberforce, UK House of Commons, made carrying any color slaves across the ocean, worthy of loss of cargo, mankind, and the vessel, the ship itself. 


Is the Lord our God pleased when The Declaration of Independence was signed, 
when James Madison wrote The Federalist Papers, The Bill of Rights?

Never forget, in World History, no nation is formed without war.  All have fallen short of the Goodness of God and are sinners. To call our history so biased is a lie. Live the Truth.








Is God pleased 
when America was created by The Declaration of Independence?



Isaiah 18: 7

At that time tribute 
will be brought to the LORD of Hosts 
from a people tall and smooth, 
from a people feared near and far, 
a nation mighty and conquering, 
whose land the rivers divide, 
to Mount Zion, 
the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.




We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed 







Self-Evident


Genesis 1:26
 
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, 
after our likeness. 
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens 
and over the livestock and over all the earth 
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”


Genesis 1:27
 
God created man in His own image, 
in the image of God He created him; 
male and female 
He created them.


Psalm 82:3 

Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; 
maintain the right of the afflicted 
and the destitute.


Isaiah 1:17 

Learn to do good; 
seek justice, 
correct oppression; 
bring justice to the fatherless, 
plead the widow's cause.


Psalm 19:14 

Let the words of my mouth 
and the meditation of my heart 
be acceptable in your sight, 
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.


John 5:30 

I can do nothing on my own. 
As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, 
because I seek not my own will 
but the will of Him who sent me.




Hosea 6:6

For I desire steadfast love 
and not sacrifice, 
the knowledge of God 
rather than burnt offerings



Romans 3:23-24
 
For all have sinned 
and 
fall short of the glory of God


2 Corinthians 5:9
 
We make it our aim to please Him.



1 Peter 5:2

Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, 
exercising oversight, 
not under compulsion, 
but willingly, 
as God would have you; 
not for shameful gain, 
yet eagerly 













Abba, Father,

Dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

In Jesus Christ is 
Our Love, Joy and Hope.

Thank You for Jesus.

Psalm 72:1-2,7-8,10-13 ~ For he delivers

 




Psalm 72:1-2,7-8,10-13




1 Give the king your justice, O God, 
and your righteousness to the royal son!

2 May he judge your people with righteousness, 
and your poor with justice!

7 In his days may righteousness flourish, and peace abound, 
till the moon be no more!

8 May he have dominion from sea to sea, 
and from the River to the ends of the earth!

10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles render him tribute, 
may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts!

11 May all kings fall down before him, 
all nations serve him!

12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, 
the poor and him who has no helper.

13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, 
and saves the lives of the needy.


Today, is our younger son's Birthday. Most days, I pick the Scripture without knowing what the Scripture is going to be. Julis Caesar would say: "iacta alea est [ˈjakta ˈaːlɛ. a ˈɛs̺t]" or the die is cast, it has been rolled. Jesus would say, "Give us the day. Our daily Bread."


And as I thought about this Post, I came across a Biblical Chapter, I pray a lot.



Isaiah 38:1-9, 16-20

In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die, you shall not recover.” 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 and said, “Please, O Lord, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. 6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and will defend this city.

7 “This shall be the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he has promised: 8 Behold, I will make the shadow cast by the declining sun on the dial of Ahaz turn back ten steps.” So the sun turned back on the dial the ten steps by which it had declined.

9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, after he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:

16 O Lord, by these things men live,
    and in all these is the life of my spirit.

    Oh restore me to health and make me live!

17 Behold, it was for my welfare
    that I had great bitterness;
but in love you have delivered my life
    from the pit of destruction,
for you have cast all my sins
    behind your back.

18 For Sheol does not thank you;
    death does not praise you

Those who go down to the pit do not hope
    for your faithfulness.

19 The living, the living... he thanks you,
    as I do this day

The father makes known to the children
    your faithfulness.

20 The Lord will save me,
    and we will play my music on stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
 at the house of the Lord



Did this remarkable miracle ever happen in the other Scriptures?

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). 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. <><
