Let’s Begin

As we continue our study of Matthew we will cover 2:1-12! We will be exploring the the wise men after the birth of Jesus Christ, as recorded by the apostle Matthew. We will review the events leading up to Jesus’ birth, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and the reactions of those who were present. We will also contemplate the significance of Jesus’ birth and what it does for our lives as believers. As we study this passage, we will be challenged to think about why we should know Jesus and follow Him more closely as His disciples. You’ll want grab your Bible, highlighter, a pen and some paper, to record what you learn on this journey of discovery!

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born. They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written:

Through the prophet,
‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah,
are in no way least among the princes of Judah;
for out of you shall come a governor
who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”Micah 5:2

Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”
They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.
^{Matthew 2:1-12 WEB}

In this passage from Matthew 2:1-2 we are told about the visit of the magi to Jesus after His birth. We see in this passage, the magi, or wise men, were astrologers who came from the East following a star to Jerusalem, they were seeking the newborn king of the Jews.

Who were the Magi

So who were the magi, also known as the wise men or the Three Kings, were a group of astrologers or wise men from the East mentioned in the New Testament. Best known for their visit to Jesus after He was born as we are told in the Gospel of Matthew. We are told the magi followed a star to Jerusalem, trying to find the newborn king of the Jews.

Upon arriving in Jerusalem, they went to King Herod and asked him where the king of the Jews had been born. They were then directed to Bethlehem, when they arrived they found Jesus and worshiped Him, giving him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

There is a lot of discussion among biblical scholars about who and how many magi were. Some think that the magi were kings or members of a royal court, while others think they were scholars or priests. Some think that there were three magi, because of the three gifts that were given to Jesus. Some believe that there could have been more or less than three.

Even though there is no concrete information about the magi, they are still revered as important figures in the Christmas story. They are usually depicted as wise and devoted followers of Jesus.

Troubled

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born. Matthew 2:3-4 WEB

In Matthew 2:3-4 When Herod heard of the birth of this king, he became disturbed and called together the chief priests and scribes of the law to ask them where Christ was to be born. Most historical commentaries agree that when he called together the chief priests and scribes it was the heads of the 24 classes of priests that were created by David in 1 Chronicles 24. The scribes were those who studied and kept track of the law in the bible.

When the magi arrived in Jerusalem we can see people from all over had heard about the birth of the king of the Jews and they were excited to find and worship him. The magi had come a long way facing significant danger so they could find the Messiah, demonstrating their faith and determination. With their arrival it emphasizes the differences between the faith of the magi and the fear and skepticism of King Herod and the religious leaders.

Herod, being upset when he heard of the birth of the king of the Jews, saw this as a potential threat to his rule. He had heard the prophecies about the coming of the Messiah because of this he was anxious to find and eliminate potential rivals to his throne. We see King Herod’s fear and skepticism was further demonstrated when he called the chief priests and teachers of the law asking them where Christ was to be born.

God’s Road Block

With the conclusion of this chapter we see Herod was trying desperately to find the king, Jesus, knowing the prophecy that was given in Micah 5:2. Herod gave instructions to the magi to find the baby and report back to him so he could “worship him.” But God knowing all things, Psalm 139:4, gave the magi direction through a dream and warned them not to go back to Herod. God knew what was in Herods heart, knowing exactly what Herod was planning to do.

He Knows You

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. Psalm 139:4 ESV

We try to get around things think it’ll be alright, we know our thoughts. The thoughts that we don’t share, the thoughts that come out of nowhere. We are told so does He, we can not hide these from God but we can ask Him to help shield us from the things in this world that cause these thoughts.

Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen

1 Chronicles 24

February 5, 2023by Drink of Jesus1 Comment

24 Classes of Priests

These were the divisions of the descendants of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

3 With the help of Eleazar’s descendant Zadok and Ithamar’s descendant Ahimelech, David divided them according to the offices of their service. 4 Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than those of Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of Eleazar and eight from the descendants of Ithamar.

5 Thus they were divided by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.

6 The scribe, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officers: Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar, and then one from Ithamar.

7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib,

the second to Jedaiah,

8 the third to Harim,

the fourth to Seorim,

9 the fifth to Malchijah,

the sixth to Mijamin,

10 the seventh to Hakkoz,

the eighth to Abijah,

11 the ninth to Jeshua,

the tenth to Shecaniah,

12 the eleventh to Eliashib,

the twelfth to Jakim,

13 the thirteenth to Huppah,

the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

the sixteenth to Immer,

15 the seventeenth to Hezir,

the eighteenth to Happizzez,

16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah,

the twentieth to Jehezkel,

17 the twenty-first to Jachin,

the twenty-second to Gamul,

18 the twenty-third to Delaiah,

and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.

19 This was their appointed order for service when they entered the house of the LORD, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their forefather Aaron, as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

Micah 5:2

Times of Old

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times. Micah 5:2 WEB

Micah 5:2 is a verse from the Old Testament Book of Micah which was written by the prophet Micah. Micah lived in the 8th century B.C. and would minister to people during the hard times of that era. In this verse Micah prophesied that a ruler would come out of Bethlehem. He suggested that this ruler would be from “ancient times.” This verse implies the significance of the birth of a baby in the manger cited by the Wise men in Matthew 2.

Let’s Begin

As we continue our study of Matthew we will cover 1:18-25! We will be exploring the supernatural birth of Jesus Christ, as recorded by the apostle Matthew. We will review the events leading up to Jesus’ birth, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and the reactions of those who were present.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly. But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take to yourself Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.” Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
and shall give birth to a son.
They shall call his name Immanuel,”
which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”Isaiah 7:14

Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself; and didn’t know her sexually until she had given birth to her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
^{Matthew 1:18-25 WEB}

Matthew 1:18-25 is a passage in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of the Bible that focuses on the birth of Jesus Christ. We are told, Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, who was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter. The birth of Jesus was miraculous because it was prophesied by the prophet Isaiah and completed the prophecy that a virgin would conceive a son, who would be called “Emmanuel,” which means “God with us.”

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14 WEB

The passage begins by explaining what happened before Jesus was born, Mary being engaged to Joseph was a righteous man not wanting to disgrace her publicly. So, when Mary became pregnant, Joseph became aware that the child was not his own but was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph was concerned by this and thought about breaking off the engagement, so an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him not to be afraid and take Mary as his wife. The angel explained to Joseph that the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit and would be called the Son of God. So Joseph took Mary as his wife, and did not consummate the marriage until Jesus was born.

“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” (Galatians 4:4-5)

Finally, this passage from Matthew 1:18-25 is a powerful and significant way to start not only the Gospel of Matthew but the Gospels, New Testament and the life of Jesus Christ. It tells how Jesus’ was born to the Virgin Mary, while she was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter. The birth of Jesus fulfillment of a prophecy foretold by the prophet Isaiah completing the prophecy that a virgin would conceive and bear a son, who would be called “Emmanuel,” which means “God with us.” The passage also emphasizes how important Joseph and Mary were as the earthly parents of Jesus and what they did to give Him life.

We see Jesus’ birth and the importance of Him coming to the world as the Son of God. It is a reminder of the love and grace of God, who sent his Son to provide salvation for humanity from sin and death. When studying this passage we are instructed to follow Jesus, being His disciples, sharing the good news of His birth. Focusing the hope and salvation He gives to the world. Be inspired by the example of Joseph and Mary and copy their faithfulness to the call of God. Always seek to follow Jesus more closely as one of His followers.

Give us understand to see, understand, and grasp the message that You have for us. In Jesus Name Amen

Let’s Begin

Matthew 1:1-17 is the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of the Bible. This passage lists the genealogy of Jesus Christ, starting with Abraham and going all the way down to Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus.

The passage begins by stating that Jesus was the son of David and the son of Abraham. Abraham was the father of Isaac, who was the father of Jacob, who was the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah, and Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram, and Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz, and Boaz was the father of Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David, who was the king of Israel.

David was the father of Solomon, who was the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam was the father of Abijah, and Abijah was the father of Asa. Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat was the father of Joram. Joram was the father of Uzziah, and Uzziah was the father of Jotham. Jotham was the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz was the father of Hezekiah. Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh was the father of Amon. Amon was the father of Josiah, and Josiah was the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers.

Jehoiachin was exiled to Babylon, and after the exile, his descendants included Shealtiel, who was the father of Zerubbabel. Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud, and Abiud was the father of Eliakim. Eliakim was the father of Azor, and Azor was the father of Zadok. Zadok was the father of Achim, and Achim was the father of Eliud. Eliud was the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar was the father of Matthan. Matthan was the father of Jacob, and Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Christ.

The passage concludes by stating that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 7:14 that a virgin would conceive and bear a son. This son, Jesus, would be called “Emmanuel,” which means “God with us.” The passage emphasizes that Jesus’ genealogy is important because it shows that He is the promised Messiah, the savior of the world, who was foretold by the prophets and is a descendant of Abraham and David.

A little more

Matthew 1:2 is part of the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of the Bible. The verse reads, “Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.” This verse establishes the line of descent from Abraham to Jesus through Isaac, Jacob, and Judah.

Abraham is considered the father of the Jewish people, Genesis 17:1-27, and is revered as a great patriarch in Judaism, and Christianity. He is described in the Bible as the father of faith and is credited with establishing the covenant between God and the descendants of Abraham, which is central to the Abrahamic religions. Abraham is also mentioned in the New Testament as an ancestor of Jesus, and his faith and obedience to God are held up as an example for Christians to follow.

Isaac is the son of Abraham and his wife, Sarah, and is considered the son of promise in the Bible. According to the book of Genesis, God promised Abraham that he would have a son through Sarah, even though they were old and childless. Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, and he became the heir of the promise of God to Abraham. Isaac is also an important figure in the Abrahamic religions, and he is revered as a patriarch and a symbol of faith and obedience.

Jacob is the son of Isaac and the grandson of Abraham. He is also known as Israel, and his twelve sons became the twelve tribes of Israel. Jacob is known for his cunning and deception, as well as for his faith in God. He is also an important figure in the Abrahamic religions, and his descendants are considered to be the chosen people of God.

Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, Genesis 49:1-27, and the ancestor of the tribe of Judah. He is also an important figure in the Bible and is revered as a patriarch and a leader of the Jewish people. According to the book of Genesis, Judah was the one who suggested that Joseph, his brother, be sold into slavery in Egypt, but he later repented of his actions and pleaded for Joseph’s release. Judah is also mentioned in the New Testament as an ancestor of Jesus.

In Matthew 1:2, the genealogy of Jesus is traced through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah, showing that Jesus is a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Judah. This is important because it establishes Jesus as the promised Messiah, the savior of the world, who was foretold by the prophets and is a fulfillment of the covenant between God and Abraham. The genealogy of Jesus is also important because it shows that Jesus is a human being, born of the lineage of Abraham and David, and therefore fully human and fully divine.

Further more, the genealogy of Jesus recorded in Matthew 1:1-17 is an important and significant passage in the Gospel of Matthew. It traces the line of descent from Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, down to Joseph, the husband of Mary and the legal father of Jesus. This genealogy establishes Jesus as a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Judah, fulfilling the promises of God to Abraham and the prophecies of the prophets. It also shows that Jesus is a human being, born of the lineage of Abraham and David, and therefore fully human and fully divine.

The historical and genealogical significance in this passage also highlights the importance of the family line of Jesus and the fulfillment of God’s plan for the salvation of humanity. It also focuses on the faithfulness of God for keeping His promises keeping his plan for the world with the birth of Jesus Christ as the savior of the world.

Finally, the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:1-17 is a message that speaks to the divine nature of Jesus and how important His birth is in the salvation of humanity. It is a reminder of God’s devotion and His lasting love. He invites us to trust Him knowing we can follow Him as our savior and Lord.

Ephesians 6:11

January 15, 2023January 3, 2023by Drink of Jesus1 Comment

Plan for Protection

Ephesians 6:11 is a verse in the Bible that reads, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.” This verse is part of a larger passage in which the apostle Paul is writing to the church in Ephesus, instructing them on how to live as Christians in a world that is often hostile to their faith.

In this verse, Paul is telling the believers in Ephesus to put on the “whole armor of God.” This phrase is metaphorically referring to the various spiritual practices and disciplines that enable believers to stand firm in their faith and resist temptation. The armor of God includes things like the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation.

The purpose of this armor is to help believers “stand against the schemes of the devil.” The devil is a term used in the Bible to refer to the spiritual forces of evil that seek to oppose God and deceive and tempt people away from following Him. These schemes can take many forms, such as temptation, persecution, and deception, but the armor of God gives believers the strength and protection they need to resist them.

One thing to note about this verse is that it does not imply that believers are in a constant state of warfare with the devil. Instead, it is meant to be a reminder that believers will encounter spiritual challenges and temptations in their lives and need to be prepared to stand against them. “Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. How the gate is narrow and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are who find it.^{Matthew 7:13-14}^WEB

Another important aspect of this verse is the idea of putting on the whole armor of God. This means that believers should not pick and choose which parts of their faith they want to embrace and which they want to ignore. Instead, they should fully embrace all aspects of their faith and be diligent in their spiritual practices and disciplines. Preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching. For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts, and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables. But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry. ^{2 Timothy 4:2-5 WEB}

Something to think about with this verse is in terms of building a strong foundation for one’s faith. Just as a house needs a strong foundation to stand firm against the elements, believers need a strong foundation in their faith to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. This foundation is built through prayer, reading and studying the Bible, participating in fellowship with other believers, and serving others in the name of Christ. “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.” ^{Matthew 7:24-27 WEB}

In conclusion, Ephesians 6:11 is a reminder to believers that they will face spiritual challenges and temptations in their lives and need to be prepared to stand against them. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:12-13 WEB The armor of God gives believers the strength and protection they need to resist these schemes and live faithfully as followers of Christ. It is important for believers to fully embrace all aspects of their faith and build a strong foundation in their spiritual practices and disciplines.

The New Year What the Bible Says

January 8, 2023January 3, 2023by Drink of JesusLeave a comment

New Year; a time for Reflection

As the New Year approaches, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the year ahead. For Christians, this can also be a time to consider what the Bible has to say about the New Year and how we can approach it in a way that is pleasing to God.

The Bible does not specifically mention the New Year as we know it today, as the concept of a new year beginning on January 1st is a tradition that dates back to the ancient Romans. However, the Bible does speak about the importance of new beginnings and the hope that comes with them.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites celebrated the new year with the festival of Rosh Hashanah, (Numbers 29:1-6) which marked the beginning of the civil year. Rosh Hashanah is still celebrated by Jewish people today, and it is a time of reflection and repentance. The festival is seen as a time to start anew and make right any wrongs that have been committed in the past.

The New Testament also emphasizes the importance of new beginnings. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This verse highlights the transformative power of faith in Jesus, who offers us the opportunity to start anew and become a new creation.

As Christians, the New Year can be a time for us to rededicate ourselves to following Jesus and living out our faith. This might involve setting spiritual goals, such as reading the Bible more, praying more consistently, or getting more involved in a church community. 2 Chronicles 7:14

The New Year can also be a time to focus on becoming more like Jesus in our everyday lives. This might involve working on becoming more patient, kind, or selfless. It could also involve serving others and showing God’s love to those around us. John 13:15, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 2:12

In addition to setting spiritual goals, the New Year can also be a time to set personal goals related to our health, relationships, careers, or other areas of life. The Bible encourages us to work towards becoming the best version of ourselves, Colossians 3:9-10, and setting goals can be a helpful way to do this.

However, it’s important to remember that our ultimate goal should be to glorify God, not just to achieve personal success or happiness. Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

As we approach the New Year, it can be helpful to spend time in prayer, asking God to guide us as we set goals and make plans for the year ahead. We can also ask for His strength and wisdom as we strive to follow Him and live out our faith.

The New Year is a time of hope and new beginnings, and as Christians, we can approach it with a sense of excitement and anticipation, knowing that God is with us and has a plan for our lives. Jeremiah 29:11 Let’s start the New Year off right by seeking God’s guidance and working towards becoming the best versions of ourselves, all for His glory.

Dear Heavenly Father, guide me through this new year helping me to always consider what You want. Guide every step I take, every thought I have, and every path I choose. In Jesus Name Amen

Jacobs 12 Sons

January 4, 2023by Drink of Jesus1 Comment

Genesis 49:1-27 The start of the Israeli Nation

Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come. Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.

“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.

“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence. My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

“Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you. Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up? The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him. Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.

“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.

“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags. He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.

“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward. I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh. “A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.

“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.

“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.

“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall. The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him: But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel), even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of your ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.

“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.” Genesis 49:1-27 WEB

A Multitude of Nations

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless. I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying, “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations. Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you. I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you. I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you. He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring. He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”

Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?” Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham. Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money: every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him. Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised. All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.Revelation 2:5 ESV

Did you know that the Old Testament in the bible contains enough prophesies about Jesus Christ that statistically it cannot be rationally explained without an overabundance of speculation? Over and over again in the Old Testament the prophets where instructed by God that the Messiah would come to be the King and be a sacrifice for our sins. We have been given this awesome opportunity to become part of His family, to be able to share the love and the protection that has been granted to us. He gave us free will to choose if we want to be with Him in heaven all you have to do is accept it. We will link together a number of these prophesies in the bible as we go. Always remember to read your bible so that you know that what is said here and anywhere else is from God and not from human input. Never believe what others say without testing their words we have been given a guide, the bible, that came from God Himself.

Can You See It?

But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape. But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness, so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night. But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. 1 Thessalonians 5:1:11 WEB

So with everything that’s going on right now we look around and sometimes it makes us doubt that God has control of everything that’s going on. We’ve been told in the Bible that the devil was given control over this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4, likewise we were given free will to choose which way we are going to do, Joshua 24:15. As we look around we see governments that are controlling people and they’re oppressing their people.

We see friends and family that are divided against each other. When we look at it the one thing that we need to remember is no matter what happens inevitably those institutions that are above us, government, state leaders, you name it will always look out for themselves. No matter how bad it seems we need to always make sure that we’re looking out for each other. Those around us, our family, our friends, you know the ones that we’ve always known and that have always known us.

With that statement we need to remember the following Bible verses from Psalms: You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble. Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:5-10 WEB

Right now it’s so important to pay attention. Our morals are being questioned, our children are being attacked, and we are being told that we’re the ones that aren’t good. We have been told in the Bible that there will be a time were evil is good and good as evil, Isaiah 5:20. We are told that if we don’t agree with everything that’s going on within the world right now that we’re the ones that are evil. We are told that Jesus Christ himself would’ve supported all of the evil that we have surrounding us right now.

Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. Revelation 3:3 ESV

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58 WEB

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Revelation 2:5 ESV

If you read the Bible you’ll know that that view point is completely wrong, it is not what God told us. In fact the New Testament in some aspects holds us even more accountable than it ever has before. In the Old Testament we were given the 10 Commandments in the New Testament they added more to it, now if we even look at somebody the wrong way we have committed a sin. This is why it is so important to know exactly what the Bible says and not what somebody thinks the Bible says. It is so important right now to make sure that you’re reading the Bible and knowing exactly what it says I cannot say that enough. We have to pay attention right now more than ever before, Romans 13:11-12, we need to make sure we know exactly what God wants us to do. There are so many things that surround us right now that will make us doubt exactly what he said if we don’t know what the Bible says.

“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also. You know where I go, and you know the way.” John 14:1-4 WEB

When everything seems like it is going wrong as human beings we tend to look for things to comfort us that aren’t always our best decisions of comfort. Sometimes we will look to the wrong people for comfort. Some of us will look to drugs, alcohol, and relationships. Some of these things are real bad for us, mentally and health wise. Sometimes the wrong people will tell us what we want to hear and not what we should hear. Sometimes they do it out of the best of intentions because they want you to feel better because they’re good friends.

But that doesn’t always mean it’s right, or what God wants you to do. I by no means I’m sitting here pointing the finger and saying I am better than anybody else. I’ve done the drugs, I’ve drank the alcohol, I’ve tried to find comfort in friends that weren’t appropriate. Sometimes it makes me wonder why God forgives me or has taken care of me as much as He has. I have a Multiple Sclerosis.

The MS has been a learning experience, I was deaf, blind, and couldn’t walk for a while; God’s taken me through all of this. You would think that that would cement a relationship with God, it has, but there are days I still question it. I still think I can do it better even though He has done so much for me. It’s human nature, not an excuse and not the best but it is part of what makes us human. God tells us over and over again to not to be afraid, not to be anxious, and to always depend on Him.

But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient. Matthew 6:33-34 WEB

When looking around we can see all of the misinformation, the oppression, and any other bad choice that seems to make us doubt. We need to remember the things that we’ve been told in the Old Testament and how His people were treated throughout history. What’s going on right now is not new, human beings seem to repeat themselves and do the same thing over and over and over again. Something I say a lot is that 2000 years ago they were riding in chariots, today we’re driving SUV’s but we’re still dealing with the same issues we have always done. This is why it’s so important to understand the Bible verse that is next don’t forget so you don’t repeat:

Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ ^{Isaiah 46:9-10 ESV}

Redemption

In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace ^{Ephesians 1:7 WEB}

His Love

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; ^{Ephesians 2:4-7 WEB}
