Revelation 1:17 ~ Jesus laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not" +

 

Revelation 1:17

He laid His Right Hand on me, 

saying, 

“Fear not,

 I am the first and the last, 

and the living one. 

I died, and behold I am alive forevermore."

Scriptures record people have Truth arrive. The Truth washes all over them and they are afraid.  

Afraid they were led astray. 

Afraid their votes won't count in the Preterm Election. 

Afraid of the Direction of the Nation. Afraid politicians lie. Afraid for America. Afraid for their futures. To have been led down a path. Fear the media had assured them President Biden was capable.  Angry at the Democrat leaders for this trauma. 

Fear happens when the TRUTH arrives Mightily. 

God is well known for saying, "Fear Not." Angels and Archangels are told by God to say this so many, many times.

And many, many others have been afraid for the Nation for quite a long four years. 

Terrified of news, events, Presidential edicts, abandoning the framework of the Oath of Office and the Constitution. Trials that are relentlessly without Constitutional backing. And they are still astonished at the misleading by National Authorities, Executive, DOJ, FBI, State Courts, how Judges and Prosecutors have milllionnnns without leaving Civil Service. Situations repetitively very out of control.  And utterly astonished at this turn of events. 

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; 

be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, 

I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God gave us a spirit not of fear 

but of power and love and self-control.

Tonight, in the Presidential Debate, 

Truth was universally acknowledged, Biden did not have the ability to measure up. And some will be profoundly .... shocked. They had believed the spin he was able. Democrats avoided releasing documentation to Congress about DOJ, saying Biden wasn't but an old man with a bad memory. 

So deep the consequences, NBC on February 9, 2024, researched and said Democrat rules proclaim the States have nominated Biden. And at this point, the only option to change the Nomination to President would be a write-in ballot. The People of the 50 States have voted. Voted. Voted. 

No one should be stripped of their Vote.

In the February 9, 2024, article, the Rules say States keep the peoples' votes. 

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/books-says-dnc-s-brazile-considered-replacing-clinton-nominee-n817581

On September 15, 2015, Hillary Clinton collapsed at a Memorial Service. DNC Chair Donna Brazile said in her memoirs, she wanted to replace the pending Nomination, but could NOT. Because the People had voted.

Internationally, UK news reports this is allll ok. To the world. Yes, this nomination will avoid a write-in ballet.

Father God tells His Messengers to say:

Fear is a universal emotion.

Jesus laid His Right Hand on me, saying, 

“Fear not, I am the first and the last, 

and the living one. 

I died, and behold I am alive forevermore."

All things work together for Good,

 for those who work for His Purposes. 

The Exodus included a Huge Cloud and Fire at Night.  Sounds bad. And then, The Lord

worked wonders with the Huge Reveal of God's Power.

Matthew 7:21-29 ~ enter the Kingdom of Heaven

 

Matthew 7:21-29

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 

23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

One of the unique things about the Gospels, there are 89 chapters and Jesus is recorded going into the Synagogue about 26 times. When Jesus is saying to us about leading worthy lives, having a worthy heart, mind, body and soul for His Salvation, Jesus isn't placing this upon The Temple.

If we wanted to pair this to one of the Chapters, which one?

Luke 19

19 He entered Jericho and was passing through. 

2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. 

He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. 

 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, 

“Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” 

6 So he hurried and came down and received Him joyfully. 

7 And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 

9 And Jesus said to him, 

“Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 

 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

The Children of God. And where will we place the blame on damnation, the wrath of God. Upon the soul itself and the choices made deliberately by that soul. Opinions come and go. Our ideas pass away. The Word of God stands forever.

We don't run the Universe or uphold the Universe.

Like Jesus and Zachaesus, Jesus is easy to know and recognize. 

All depends on Jesus recognizing us in our words, heart, effort and lives. 

 

Romans 1:15-23

15 So I am eager to preach the Gospel to you also who are in Rome. 

 16 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. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

We live, according to the Word of God, by every word of God. Dot and iota. 

Therefore, we can leave the discussion what choices get us into hell. We already know where God shines His Presence.  However, if you have confusion, you could read the Word of God.  And hear directly from The Lord.  Revelation 21

Really? Yes. God upholds the Universe with the Power of His Word.

1 Samuel 2:6

The LORD brings death and makes alive; 

He brings down to the grave and raises up.

Is the Kingdom of Heaven worth seeking? YES.

Revelation 22:16-17

 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things 

for the churches.

 I am the root and the descendant of David, 

the bright morning star.” 

 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” 

And let the one who hears say, “Come.” 

And let the one who is thirsty come; 

let the one who desires take the water of Life 

without price.

When will we know we have found the Kingdom of Heaven, given as a gift from Jesus Christ? The gift of His Life. I believe we know this as well.  John 14, 15, 16, 17 tell us of His Joy.

Matthew 13:44-46

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. 

Then in his joy 

he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, 

went and sold all that he had 

and bought it.

And in this JOY

What are the numbers?

God would say!

Revelation 7:9-10 

After the vision of these things I looked, 

and there was a great number of people, 

so many that no one could count them. 

They were from every nation, 

tribe, 

people,

 and language 

of the earth.

Would this be like lucky charms and Jesus the imp?

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 

23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

24 “Everyone then who hears these Words of Mine 

and does them 

will be like a wise man 

who built 

his house

 on the rock.

The Children of God. And where will we place the blame on damnation, the wrath of God. Upon the soul itself and the choices made deliberately by that soul. Opinions come and go. Our ideas pass away. 

The Word of God stands forever.

He upholds the universe

with

The Power of His Word

We don't run the Universe or uphold the Universe.

Like Jesus and Zachaesus, Jesus is easy to know and recognize. 

All depends on Jesus recognizing us in our words, heart, effort and lives. 

The times of History, when cultures decided they knew good and evil to decide. "When every man decided for himself." Are the times we wonder at the mess recorded in Scriptures. Eve. Esau. The Tribe of Benjamin. Judas. 

 

My personal response to these events in life, times, seasons and culture: 

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. "

“Everyone then who hears these Words of Mine 

and does them 

will be like a wise man 

who built 

his house

 on the rock.

Yesterday's Post discussed the Deuteronomy version of corruption: A priest who would tear a widow from her house, for gain. House. House isn't just home. House is history, our roots. House is family line. House is children and a future. House is shelter and freedom. House is a legacy of life's work. 

We would never want to do these things.

Jesus sincerely tells us He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. 

God the Father, provides for Abraham, his children and gives them an inheritance of Israel. He asks, as He did for Adam, to tend the land. God calls the earth His Good Creation and sees Good.  God provides. God did not just give to King Moses or The Temple and ask His Children to work without ceasing. God, importantly, rests on the 7th day.  God wants Love as shelter and the ability to make choices. Free Will. This is His Governance.

Revelation 22

And let the one who is thirsty come; 

let the one who desires take the water of Life 

without price.

John 8:31

 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, 

“If you abide 

in My Word, 

you are truly My Disciples,

and you will know the truth, 

and the truth will set you free.”

Who will be saved?

With God 
all things are possible.

Abba, Father, 

Help us each day to fulfill Your plans for us

in Church

and our daily thoughts, ways and life,
and the work You would have us do. 

You could have given everything

to King Moses

or The Temple

and, instead,

You Bless and Bless

Your Children.

Be in the world,

not of the world.

Be our Light and our direction. 

You are with us
to

the end

of the age.

In the Highest Name of Jesus Christ. 

Amen.

To You, our Father, be the Glory

Our God is an Awesome God! 

Amen

and Alleluia

in Jesus Christ and His Glory!

1 Samuel 6 ~ returned

For your selection, which one is more like the real Ark of the Covenant

This is very like these chapters of 1 Samuel during

the Judges time.

Perhaps a more Egyptian style Ark of the Covenant

from

The Prince of Egypt

More angels on the Ark with huge wings

More ornate with those who play the harp near 

The Ark of the Covenant

People were very comfortable with 

the Indiana Jones style Ark of the Covenant

One like this, made in the desert during the Exodus

with the travel things

If you chose photograph 4 or 6, you would be correct. The Ark of the Covenant isn't just a box with treasured miracles of the Exodus and the Ten Commandments. The Ark of the Covenant is the Mercy Seat of God. An invitation for The Lord to dwell with us. We wouldn't make a seat and make it profoundly uncomfortable for His Legs when seeking the Living God. Photograph number 4 is more ornate as the other Temple Tools do sound and has the bonus, would be required of legs and not just placing the Ark of the Covenant on the ground.

Josephus wrote in "The History of the Jews", God opened the shut gates of the Court of Women and the Angels in the Holy of Holies would move of their own golden accord, to the wings covering their faces and turn away from one another. The Angels would move in advance of the warning of God's coming wrath. He might have meant the Ark of the Covenant itself, or the huge angels in gold covering the walls of the Holy of Holies. We aren't sure. Josephus did refer only to the ruin of Solomon's First Temple because 2 Maccabees 2 records a very informed Jeremiah carried the Ark to Mount Nebo to be buried and guarded by the Angel of the Lord. The link is included below:

Malachi 1 ~ I have loved you,” says the Lord. 

But you say, “How have you loved us?”

1 Samuel 6

The ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months. 2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? Tell us with what we shall send it to its place.” 3 They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty, but by all means return him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand does not turn away from you.” 4 And they said, “What is the guilt offering that we shall return to him?” They answered, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on all of you and on your lords. 5 So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you and your gods and your land. 6 Why should you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? After he had dealt severely with them, did they not send the people away, and they departed? 7 Now then, take and prepare a new cart and two milk cows on which there has never come a yoke, and yoke the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them. 8 And take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart and put in a box at its side the figures of gold, which you are returning to him as a guilt offering. Then send it off and let it go its way 9 and watch. If it goes up on the way to its own land, to Beth-shemesh, then it is he who has done us this great harm, but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it happened to us by coincidence.”

10 The men did so, and took two milk cows and yoked them to the cart and shut up their calves at home. 11 And they put the ark of the Lord on the cart and the box with the golden mice and the images of their tumors. 12 And the cows went straight in the direction of Beth-shemesh along one highway, lowing as they went. They turned neither to the right nor to the left, and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the border of Beth-shemesh. 13 Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley. And when they lifted up their eyes and saw the ark, they rejoiced to see it. 14 The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh and stopped there. A great stone was there. And they split up the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord. 15 And the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the box that was beside it, in which were the golden figures, and set them upon the great stone. And the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices on that day to the Lord. 16 And when the five lords of the Philistines saw it, they returned that day to Ekron.

17 These are the golden tumors that the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron, 18 and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and unwalled villages. The great stone beside which they set down the ark of the Lord is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh.

19 And he struck some of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they looked upon the ark of the Lord. He struck seventy men of them, and the people mourned because the Lord had struck the people with a great blow. 20 Then the men of Beth-shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God? And to whom shall he go up away from us?” 21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have returned the ark of the Lord. Come down and take it up to you.”

When we have rain, we hope for sunshine. When we have sunshine, we hope for rain. And this is the way of Blessings and being Blessed. Job met the Lord and was profoundly moved and changed. Job's quick to employ personal judgement friends and mourners would meet the Lord and see the changes in Job's attitude and manner of living.

Abraham was promised the Promises of God's Blessing and this included the downfall of those who would work against Abraham and The Lord. Much like the long life of the Disciple John.

The Lord Thy God is One. 

He will Fulfill His Purpose. 

He upholds the Universe with the power of His Word.

Biblical Fact:

In The Time of Judges, "Each man decided himself what was good and what was evil." Rather, reminding us of the Story of Eve. Job was deciding for himself. As was Paul. James and John. Many. Many. Many.

Samson's death. Two Philistine temples have been uncovered by archaeologists. One at Tel Qasile, in northern Tel Aviv, and one in Tel Miqne, ancient Ekron, 21 miles south of Tel Aviv. Both temples share a unique design -- the roof was supported by two central pillars! The pillars were made of wood and rested on stone support bases. With the pillars being about six feet apart, a strong man could dislodge them from their stone bases and bring the entire roof crashing down. The archaeological findings match the Biblical story perfectly and attest to the plausibility of the account.

These are the House of Dagon in 1 Samuel 5,6.  Remember with me, what is the name of the man who fell asleep listening to Paul for hours and hours? Eutychus. If you are from the South, this is Ewe teeeeach us.  Easy to remember. And the temple of Goliath and Samson's death god - is the House of Dagon. Dog on. Easy biblical scholar. 

Malachi 1 ~ I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?”

Who saw the Book of Acts type miracles? 

Today, almost everyone who prays will remember a time a prayer was answered by The Lord. 

And we all know times of prayer that seemed to bounce off the ceiling. And later be answered.

Who found God did His Purpose. Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.  Where all things work together for good, for those who serve the Lord and work according to His Purpose.Paul said in His Chapters written with The Holy Spirit, Paul would decide to travel to a place and see the Holy Spirit say, go elsewhere. And this would happen. Paul would write and say, "he would see how it goes with him, if he is to visit." In the Scriptures.  People would be prophetic with Paul and he would agree easily and with gratitude.  Mark hoped to go travel with Paul again. Mark who was, instead, like a son to Peter and with him to the end of his life. We remember Mark. Matthew, MARK, Luke and John. 

We love Jesus Christ. And most of us like, "The Chosen." We want Jesus. Jesus said He and the Father are One. Paul acknowledged this and said The Exact Nature of God. God is Ecclesiastes 3. For life to function, one is born, one dies. And the Angel of the Lord ushers in the passing on experience. The Lord is Higher than we know. Psalm 139 tells us this is beyond our understanding. 

In faith, we believe The Word of God. His Promises. We know He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. 

In faith, we have Life. And in real life, the Scriptures tell us all about the trials, temptations, bad choices, difficult times. Where meeting, the Messengers of God have us all hear, "Fear Not."

God says instead,

Luke 2

And suddenly

 there was with the angel

 a multitude of the Heavenly Host 

praising God 

and saying, 14 

“Glory to God in the highest, 

 and on earth peace

 among those with whom He is pleased!”

He is pleased with: fearful Elijah of so many daring days of powerful faith. The Disciples wondering and wandering about like drunken honey bees. Jesus in The Garden. Jesus on The Cross. Risen and Victorious Jesus.  In love with Peter, hearing the rooster crow again. Loving John, James and their mother.  The woman grasping His Hem. The Synagogue Jarius Official, almost waiting too late for his daughter.  

Beloved of God. He has Promised. Has Purpose. Is Alive. Is Eternal. Is Unchanging Steadfast Love. Knows and loves you intimately. Saves the world, believing in Jesus Christ. His Plan of Salvation will be Fulfilled.

Make a joyful noise to the LORD 

ALL
