Hello Heir: What you have said is very interesting. It may seem hard to imagine why someone would be willing to forgo the wonderful blessings God promises them for the terrible curses they ended up suffering. But if we look at the way the world has been and how it is now we can see that the human heart is so terribly disobedient to God. Most people don't want to be on that straight and narrow path that takes them to heaven, they would rather be rebellious and have it their way. I do praise God that we are on the path that leads to heaven.
I noticed you mentioned that you have never heard priests preach on this chapter. Are you a Catholic? I was raised by a Catholic mother but in my experience I found the religion shallow and hypocritical. Please don't be offended. I know there are a lot of Catholics who love Catholicism. The reason I am asking you this is, frankly, I hope your answer will be no because this religion doesn't tell the truth of salvation; that it is by the blood of Jesus Christ ONLY. I hope I hear from you so we can discuss this more. I love you in the Lord and I am hoping you are a child of God. God Bless :)
This book is describing the transatlantic slave trade. And they would be sent into Egypt Again, which means this particular nation of people have had a history of being enslaved prior.
Me Personally have been going to church my entire life and not once have I ever heard the Priests, Pastor's preach this book in complete.
Which Is why most don't understand even though it's clear who the people are the book speaks of and who claim to be but are not.
The most high Yahweh leadath Israel into captivity in Egypt for disobeying his laws and sent Moses to being them out but they hardheaded Israelites continued there disobedience of his laws so the most high sent them into Egypt again this time on ships with yolks of iron upon thy necks sold to thy enemies separated from there children never to see them again given names and nationalities of the gentiles so they would no more be known as Israel and would work on pagan gods of the heathen so they will be broken.
ABBA FATHER YHWH, in Yeshua's mighty name please touch my little brother with the power of your great love, deliver him out of these persecutions as you are faithful over those whom you redeem, drive the devil back according to Deuteronomy 28:7, and Isaiah 54:17, Father, I plead the blood of Jesus over what you have redeemed and what you redeem you keep, praise you for the answers, AMEN!!!
Hello Bmccaugh58. The answers to your questions are actually found throughout the Bible (from Genesis to Revelation), because the Bible essentially shows us how far mankind has fallen away from his Creator (because of sin), the repercussions we face from living in such a sinful state, & what God has done to offer correction & help, or else, judgement. So, one merely has to read through the Bible (even in your daily devotions/readings) & will see how people, yes all of us, have done wrong towards God & man & what subsequently entails from that. Some will learn & be corrected & then restored - others will persist in their evil ways & face God's Judgement.
So, here are some passages to start you off, but in your reading of the Bible, God's Spirit will alert you to what you seek or even where some action needs to be taken in your own life.
These are just a very few Scriptures, reminding us that there will always be consequences for our actions, not just in our dealings with each other, but more importantly, as we stand before God. But this God of Love always gives sinful wayward man an escape route, from a life of sin to a life of holiness & love - and His Name is Jesus.
The disciples showed JESUS the buildings of the Temple.(Oh how great,admirable,were the stones of the Temple!)JESUS said:See ye not all these things?verily I say unto you,There shall not be left here ONE stone upon another,that shall not be thrown down.
Jesus left His disciples disappointed with His answer,evidently.
What JESUS prophesied LITERALLY was fulfilled,the Temple was destroyed in 70AD,and Israel was banned from their land and scattered around the world for around 1878 years,from year 70AD to 1948AD,more than 100K died under the Romans's attack.
Israel was punished severely from year 70AD until 1948AD, they suffered severe and great punishments in LITERAL fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:15-68, so 53 verses of severe chastisements and curses.Take a look.The WORD IS GOD,self executing.
After JESUS went to the Mount of Olives,the disciples privately asked Him two important things:
1-What shall be the sign of thy coming?
2-and of the END of the world?(the current Devil's world)
The testimomy of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy.He LISTED several events linked(1st)to His coming;(2nd)to the END of this current Devil's world.
JESUS LISTED SEVERAL EVENTS, as follow: Matthew 24:4-8:
4-Take heed that no man deceive you;(first concerns of JESUS).
5- Many shall come in my name,saying,I am Christ;and shall deceive many;
(Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb,actually a false lamb,a false messiah, AN IMPOSTOR:- John 5:v.43 combined with Revelation 13:v.11-18)
6-And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMOURS of WARS;see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet.
7-NATION shall rise against NATION,and kingdom against kingdom(G7,and G20,EU,UNO, among others Entities shall be DISSOLVED from now on?)
-there shall be famines;
-and pestilences;
-and earthquakes in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
The WORST is yet to come as is written in Matt.24:15-25
After having crucified my Lord JESUS,Israel was banned from the Promised land from year 70BC to 1948BC,1878 years of severe curses and punishments,in LITERAL fulfilment of Deuteronomy 28:15-68, 53 verses of severe chastisements.And now,in this Day of Vengeance,the LORD's Day,the seventh and last Day,what will happen with Israel?and with the Gentile nations?
By the way,the physical city of Jerusalem is the primal/original prostitute called Oholibah-Jewish Bible-Yechezkel(Ez.)23:4 and 14-19:-
4 -Ez. 23:4 says:"Jerusalem (is)Oholibah."
14And she increased her harlotries,and she saw men engraved on the wall...engraved with types of drawings.
15Girded with girdles on their loins,colored hanging turbans on their heads/exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads;the appearance of mighty men all of them(like the 266 Popes that existed in the Papacy),the likeness of the children of Babylon-Chaldeans-the land of their birth.By the way, the ROOTS of the MAN Beast of sea,according to the Revelation 13:2 is as follow: The Beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,and his feet were as the feet of a bear,and his mouth as the mouth of a lion(as was prophesied:Dan.7:4-6):and the dragon(the MAN Beast of earth like a lamb- Revelation 13:11-,a false messiah,actually the own Satan incarnated,father of the Jews- John 8:44-45)gave him-gave to the MAN Beast of sea-his Power, and his Seat(his Throne in Jerusalem),and great Authority-Rev.13:2.
16And she lusted for them at the sight [that reached] her eyes,and she sent messengers to them,to [the land of] the Chaldeans.
17And the children of Babylon came to her for a bed of love, and they defiled her with their harlotry,and she became defiled through them,and her soul was disgusted with them.
18And she revealed her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness, My soul became disgusted with her,as had become disgusted with her sister.
19And she increased her harlotries,to remember the days of her youth,when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Your thinking is from a human perspective,not from GOD's perspective. JESUS said: Luke 21:24-And they(the Jews-Israel)shall fall by the edge of the sword,and shall be led away captive into all nations(this part of the verse literally fulfilled against Israel, from 70 to 1948, 1878 years of severe curses and punishments,and plagues- Deuteronomy 28:15-63):and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles(this part of prophecy will literally fulfill in days to come,also according to the Revelation 11:2)until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Matthew 24:15 -When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,spoken of by Daniel the prophet( Daniel 12:6-12),stand in the holy place,(whoso readeth,let him understand)
Daniel 12:6-12
6And one said to the man clothed in linen,which was upon the waters of the river,How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen,which was upon the waters of the river,when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven,and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time,times,and an half;and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people,all these things shall be finished.
8And I heard,but I understood not:then said I,O my Lord,what shall be the end of these things?
9And he said,Go thy way,Daniel:for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the END.
10Many shall be PURIFIED,and made WHITE,and TRIED;but the wicked shall do wickedly:and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away (Jesus' sacrifice has already lasted 738,300 days,and now will be taken away),and the abomination that maketh desolate set up(in the midst of the last week of years),there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.(END of this current world of Devil)
12Blessed is he that waiteth,and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
More than opinion is revelation. Matthew 24 has in part been LITERALLY fulfilled. In the year 70AD, verses 1 and 2 were fulfilled with the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem and the dispersion of the Jews throughout the world during 1878 years of severe plagues and curses, in addition to insufferable pain, according to Deuteronomy 28:15-68, 53 verses of strong and severe punishments.
Now, verses 3 to 8 are being fulfilled, the beginning of sorrows, and the decay of the Churches with the development of apostasies and iniquities-verses 9 to 14.
Then, the last week- Daniel 9:27- is about to start and with this event the persecutions of the first half of the week-42 months- Revelation 13:5- by the Beast of sea, culminating with the establishment of the Abomination of Desolation for 1,290 days in the second half of the week (plus 30 days)-verses 15 to 27 combined with Daniel 12:11 and 11:v.31. It is the END of this world and a sign of the coming of JESUS: Matthew 24:3 combined with Revelation 11:15-18. Blessed is he who waits and comes at 1335 days- Daniel 12:12 , 45 days after finishing the Abomination of Desolation. GET READY
Promises for believers "practical" considerations.
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: ( Deuteronomy 28:13).
Some things in our Christian walk may seem like worldly wisdom; but when we live in a society that is decaying much like the Roman Empire did we see how God contrasts the rewards of those with a work ethic compared to those who don't. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 states that if we don't work we don't eat; and amazingly enough Lenin who started Communist rule in Russia had the same ethic along with some early labor leaders in this country. The verse I have quoted could certainly apply to those who do NOT subject themselves to "usury" which God's people were told not to do or do to each other (see Nehemiah 5:7-10; Leviticus 25:36). That process; of course leads to bondage for extended payment well beyond that borrowed; and has many people in slavery in the world today.
When push comes to shove; when we ask God to provide income He will provide what is necessary in His timing if we are physically and mentally up to the work. To save money should of course be for our families and future inheritance as well as to meet our own needs; but also the principle of saving a little at a time is beneficial if we need to help those in our midst; particularly in the Body of Christ.
There are many other admonitions in scripture for husbands; wives and children to follow; as well as single people and widows.
If we call ourselves "Christian" and are lacking in any of these disciplines and we find God blessing someone who is not a believer because they are following some of these principles we should not be surprised. God is impartial and blesses those He wishes to bless; curses those likewise according to His will. (see Luke 16:9-13 as to how to use "unrighteous mammon"
Given the plethora of postings I have planted here today I will attempt to cease and desist for at least the rest of today. My last posting made a few statements on blessings and covenants of God.
In light of the current economic situation today; we face the very real spectre that our food supply may be in dire jeopardy; and hence may be the best investment to make. Precious metals as of late have taken a hit and we don't find an edible gold bar as an option. Those who are able to sustain their family and perhaps church communities that can do this with arable land will benefit uniquely; and the Amish are one example of "backward" culture that has managed to avoid starvation (as far as I know) by responsible sustainability of their arable land over the centuries. There is the tendancy to view such a mindset as like the cults; no doubt such ventures in the past have been used to entice people from true worship to that of the cult leaders. This should certainly not deter us from the positive lessons sustainability of this sort brings.
Given the insane state of much of America's youth today (and spreading to other countries no doubt); again we can see many advantages to communities who keep to themselves in this manner. There are unique problems and issues; of course in any community that we must avoid. Nonetheless it is worth considering; as our homes; our stocks; our possessions are of little value if we can't feed ourselves! The state of our power grid is grim; and whether it be an EMP; a terrorist event or a Carrington (solar flare) situation the crap seems like it is going to hit the fan at some point not to far from now unless a complete overhaul is undertaken. I am reminded of Deuteronomy 28:13 where we are told to be the "head and not the tail"; lending and helping others in difficult times. This is a deviation from a purely Biblical subject; but as James 1:5 shows God gives wisdom if we ask
The bible the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was originally written in Greek then English. in order to understand why Jesus, the son of the living God, said the father who is God.
you need to go back to geneses and to be exact in Hebrew where you find in Genesis one 1:1 in Hebrew Elohim. the Name ELOHIM is in Plural and immediate we are introduced to God the father God the son and God the Holy Spirt.
Now we see from the very first chapter of the bible The Trinity created all we see visible and the invisible which we can note see with our naked eyes.
This means there's one God who exist as one person yet eternally exists as three distinct Persons God the father God the son and God the Holy Spirt and in
2 peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Pray that God will give you understanding.
Amen.
The will of the father is to obey His word. and the Word is the bible and all that is written in it 2 timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
and in its written in Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
and lastly this is the will of the father that each man shall obey His word and if we will obey, He will be our father and we, His people.
Deuteronomy 28:11And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I
Dear "Rick Colombe" then you have read well between the lines.
I've been here for a little eternity and never perceived anything like that. Injustice is the worst thing I know and then I get a little angry. Then I seek the Lord and all will be well. So it's not for me to be a respecter of people. We are all alike before the Lord. Woman, man, no matter where on the planet we come from. In He there is no difference! Often we see foreigners come up with phrases like racism. And then it becomes the case that it is the foreigner himself who is racist. Not those who welcome them into their country, or in their families. We feel treated differently and so on. Then the spikes stick straight out from people who feel differently treated. Then those people should look to themselves and not gape and scream about racism.
And are we with the Lord Jesus Christ and know that in He we have light. and love. Then it does not matter how one looks.
Regards with Matthew 13 chapter. Stay strong in the word of God and be patient with all people. Love u in Christ
April 12, 2023. Wow..wow..wow. After reading several of the comments posted, and many a couple years old it appears that there are many in this forum who are pushing racism. Please help me understand why skin color matters? Especially after God has said again and again that what matters is what's in a person's' heart. This whole skin color should be a non issue, as the real issue is where our hearts are.
We are living in troubled times where good is called evil and evil is called good. I really feel that those who are fixed on skin color have been deceived to believe their own lies. I pray God gives us all eyes that see and ears that hear all of what He wants, rather than what self wants.
I'm taking the word "cursed" directly from the Bible not other witchcraft things of this world because GOD said no undue curse shall stand. Proverbs 26:2, That stuff has no power over Believers that stay in GOD's ways.
Malachi 2:2, Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 18:8, Leviticus 20:11, the laws GOD had given Moses included the things forbidden that he was actually asking for Solomon to give permission. Being the king, guilt would have cursed as Deuteronomy 28:15-68, promises. Israel agreed to that, in Deuteronomy 27,
where are the 12 tribes of Israel located today? the bible clearly states that Judah would be scattered Isaiah 11:12, but in jole it says that Judah would be sold off to the Greeks Joel 3:6 which happened after 70 AD which the romans chaste the Israelites to west Africa where they was sold into slavery Deuteronomy 28:68 which was the slave trade according to history
Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. Isaiah 65:8-10.
NOTICE: HERES A CONTRAST GROUP IN Isaiah 65:11-16. These blessings is not to ALL!
Isaiah 65:17. parallels with Revelation 21:1. So you can go back and forward between the two books and get the sequence of events in its order and see the players involved and their separate destinations.
Isaiah 65:18-20 is clearly Israel and clearly future. (Not the Church)
See here the parallels:
Isaiah 65:19. and Revelation 21:4.
Isaiah 65:21_23. and Deuteronomy 28:30-33 ( Deuteronomy 28:45-46) is clearly Israel.
Isaiah 65:25. Clearly future.
Notice the economy, location, two groups and two fates, in both Revelation and Isaiah in both books last few chapters.
Isaiah 66.
Isaiah66;17-21. and Matthew 25:31-46. (Judgement of the individuals of the Nations) Notice three groups 1) The sheep.
2) The Goats. 3) The little ones. (Possibly the 144000 sealed servants.)
Isaiah 66:22. Shows Gods faithful promises and purpose for Israel is eternal.
Now we come to Isaiah 66;23-24.
Isaiah 66:23. Speaks of All those who are saved!
Isaiah 66:24. Speaks of those who are not. ( Revelation 21:1-8.)
IS 66;24. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: FOR THEIR WORM SHALL NOT DIE, NEITHER SHALL THEIR FIRE BE QUENCED; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. ( This speaks of their eternal state of damnation.) as seen in Revelation 20:13-15. Revelation 22:11.
2 Peter 3:6-14. Speaks of two groups, repentance, consequences.
Blessed Assurance Jesus is Mine - In Reply - 2 years ago
Deuteronomy 28:66
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
Isaiah 32:17
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Acts 17:31
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
1 Thessalonians 1:5
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
Hebrews 6:11
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
By consenting to become a born again Christian ( John 3)
To let go and receive the salvation of Jesus Christ;
To be filled with the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit.
An exchange is made in Heaven as your name is recorded in the BOOK OF LIFE. Jesus takes your sins (past, present, future) upon Himself. He becomes your Lord; but it takes some Bible reading to discover that.
You have assurance that FAITHFUL IS HE THAT PROMISED. All your sin is washed away with his blood. Isaiah 1:18. (Past, Present, Future)
If we have failures (we all do) then mark in your Bible,
1 John 1:8-10. Pray and confess. Jesus throws it as far as East is to west (infinity).
This is why we sing Blessed Assurance at Church. :)
It has definitely happened. Instances where it happened include:
The northern kingdom of Israel suffered it during the latter end of its existence.
2 Kings 6:24-30
The southern kingdom of Judah suffered it during the Babylonian conquests that kept increasing the number of those being led into captivity. Ezekiel was a captivity prophet.
Ezekiel 5:10
Extra biblically, the Donner party is a famous case of famine driven canabalism.
Revelation includes famine and death by hunger as two of the 4 horsemen. Revelation 6:5-8. It is likely horrors like canabalism will occur.
In biblical times, being smote with an affliction of Hemorrhoids or "Emerods" was considered an appropriate celestial punishment for high sins and misdemeanors.
Jehovah did not like unauthorized eyes casting glances at the contents of the Ark of the Covenant which reputedly contained the stone tablets on which the 10 commandments were written, along with Aaron's rod and a golden jar of manna. This happened a lot when the Philistines captured the Ark at the battle of Eben-Ezer where the Israelites were defeated with the loss of 30,000 men. Curiosity about what was in the Ark got the better of the victors.
When bad things started happening to the smitten Philistine's bottoms, they were happy TO RETURN THE ARK to it's rightful (Israelite) owners.
"The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed."
Deuteronomy 28:27 (KJV)
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it (the Ark of the Covenant) about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
Deuteronomy 28, note: Deuteronomy 28:58, Deuteronomy 28:15, Deuteronomy 28:28, Matthew 15:22-28, Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 5:2-13, Mark 7:27-30, Luke 4:33-43, Luke 8:26-40, Luke 9:35-50, Acts 10:38, James 4:7, 1John 3:8, Jude 1:9,
If you do not identify with the purchase of Deuteronomy 28 verse Bible is not talking about you as a nation. The curses identify the children of Israel. Go to Deuteronomy 28:68 And tell me who is identified in Deuteronomy 28.
Critical Race Theory is Theory_Its not proven to work. - In Reply - 2 years ago
My excuse is I'm 1/2 Cajun and was blonde. Hah! I knew I was, the first time I heard accordion music. My Dad was a minister when we moved to Texas.
I don't fit in a category. I raised my son to be a leader; and he is. My grandson is being raised the same way. To lead the crowd, not be it. I taught him to be "the agent of change."
He was 6 when I was saved. I turned off the tv and we read the Proverbs together. He was the coolest little dude. Headstrong. We'd talk about choices and results.
He attended Christian school. But I never turned him over to Teachers to MOLD him. I deliberately taught him the truth when he came home. The teacher taught we came from apes. I asked him if he had ever saw an ape in a BMW, with A/C and surround sound, eating a subway sandwich? Nope. Etc. He was very upset he had to take a test on it. I gave him permission to fail that test; which he did. We did a extra credit project and he passed school that way.
It's wrong to make children compromise. It seriously damages their emotions. NO ABSOLUTES. CHURCH IS FALSE TEACHING?? Not in my house.
The Principal called ME for conference. She tried to get me on her side. I told her I have an attorney that will happily take my case to court. We stared at each other a few. She said she'd be in touch, but I never heard from her.
I taught RACES to my own kid. I started at Genesis. From Adam and Eve, issued ALL COLORS OF MANKIND. God likes variety. Romans 1. Colors DONT make people dumb. Not studying does. Pass the test. Following the 12 commandments pleases God, and He has your back. You can count on that. Fight with intelligence; which comes from God. He did. He had close friends of all colors. He's still that same kid; just older. Refuse to bow the knee to insanity. The Government is NOT God. Follow peace with all men/women. God said don't Judge. Use righteous judgment.
Teach your own children. Push back. God is on OUR side. Deuteronomy 28:32, 30:19
I noticed you mentioned that you have never heard priests preach on this chapter. Are you a Catholic? I was raised by a Catholic mother but in my experience I found the religion shallow and hypocritical. Please don't be offended. I know there are a lot of Catholics who love Catholicism. The reason I am asking you this is, frankly, I hope your answer will be no because this religion doesn't tell the truth of salvation; that it is by the blood of Jesus Christ ONLY. I hope I hear from you so we can discuss this more. I love you in the Lord and I am hoping you are a child of God. God Bless :)
Me Personally have been going to church my entire life and not once have I ever heard the Priests, Pastor's preach this book in complete.
Which Is why most don't understand even though it's clear who the people are the book speaks of and who claim to be but are not.
The most high Yahweh leadath Israel into captivity in Egypt for disobeying his laws and sent Moses to being them out but they hardheaded Israelites continued there disobedience of his laws so the most high sent them into Egypt again this time on ships with yolks of iron upon thy necks sold to thy enemies separated from there children never to see them again given names and nationalities of the gentiles so they would no more be known as Israel and would work on pagan gods of the heathen so they will be broken.
So, here are some passages to start you off, but in your reading of the Bible, God's Spirit will alert you to what you seek or even where some action needs to be taken in your own life.
For "Consequences", see: Genesis 2:15-17; Genesis 3:16-19; Deuteronomy 28:1,2,15; 1 Kings 11:9-11; Job 4:8,9; Isaiah 59:2; Jeremiah 17:9,10; Matthew 27:3-5; Romans 6:23; Romans 13:4; Galatians 6:7,8; 1 Timothy 5:8; James 2:10; Revelation 20:12-15.
For "Correction", see: Proverbs 22:6; Proverbs 29:15; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 6:4; 2 Timothy 4:2; Hebrews 12:5-11; Revelation 3:19.
These are just a very few Scriptures, reminding us that there will always be consequences for our actions, not just in our dealings with each other, but more importantly, as we stand before God. But this God of Love always gives sinful wayward man an escape route, from a life of sin to a life of holiness & love - and His Name is Jesus.
The disciples showed JESUS the buildings of the Temple.(Oh how great,admirable,were the stones of the Temple!)JESUS said:See ye not all these things?verily I say unto you,There shall not be left here ONE stone upon another,that shall not be thrown down.

Israel was punished severely from year 70AD until 1948AD, they suffered severe and great punishments in LITERAL fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:15-68, so 53 verses of severe chastisements and curses.Take a look.The WORD IS GOD,self executing.

(Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb,actually a false lamb,a false messiah, AN IMPOSTOR:- John 5:v.43 combined with Revelation 13:v.11-18)
6-And ye shall hear of WARS and RUMOURS of WARS;see that ye be not troubled:for all these things must come to pass,but the END is not yet.
7-NATION shall rise against NATION,and kingdom against kingdom(G7,and G20,EU,UNO, among others Entities shall be DISSOLVED from now on?)
-there shall be famines;
-and pestilences;
-and earthquakes in divers places.

The WORST is yet to come as is written in Matt.24:15-25

By the way,the physical city of Jerusalem is the primal/original prostitute called Oholibah-Jewish Bible-Yechezkel(Ez.)23:4 and 14-19:-
4 -Ez. 23:4 says:"Jerusalem (is)Oholibah."
14And she increased her harlotries,and she saw men engraved on the wall...engraved with types of drawings.
15Girded with girdles on their loins,colored hanging turbans on their heads/exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads;the appearance of mighty men all of them(like the 266 Popes that existed in the Papacy),the likeness of the children of Babylon-Chaldeans-the land of their birth.By the way, the ROOTS of the MAN Beast of sea,according to the Revelation 13:2 is as follow: The Beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,and his feet were as the feet of a bear,and his mouth as the mouth of a lion(as was prophesied:Dan.7:4-6):and the dragon(the MAN Beast of earth like a lamb- Revelation 13:11-,a false messiah,actually the own Satan incarnated,father of the Jews- John 8:44-45)gave him-gave to the MAN Beast of sea-his Power, and his Seat(his Throne in Jerusalem),and great Authority-Rev.13:2.
16And she lusted for them at the sight [that reached] her eyes,and she sent messengers to them,to [the land of] the Chaldeans.
17And the children of Babylon came to her for a bed of love, and they defiled her with their harlotry,and she became defiled through them,and her soul was disgusted with them.
18And she revealed her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness, My soul became disgusted with her,as had become disgusted with her sister.
19And she increased her harlotries,to remember the days of her youth,when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Your thinking is from a human perspective,not from GOD's perspective. JESUS said: Luke 21:24-And they(the Jews-Israel)shall fall by the edge of the sword,and shall be led away captive into all nations(this part of the verse literally fulfilled against Israel, from 70 to 1948, 1878 years of severe curses and punishments,and plagues- Deuteronomy 28:15-63):and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles(this part of prophecy will literally fulfill in days to come,also according to the Revelation 11:2)until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Matthew 24:15 -When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,spoken of by Daniel the prophet( Daniel 12:6-12),stand in the holy place,(whoso readeth,let him understand)
Daniel 12:6-12
6And one said to the man clothed in linen,which was upon the waters of the river,How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen,which was upon the waters of the river,when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven,and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time,times,and an half;and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people,all these things shall be finished.
8And I heard,but I understood not:then said I,O my Lord,what shall be the end of these things?
9And he said,Go thy way,Daniel:for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the END.
10Many shall be PURIFIED,and made WHITE,and TRIED;but the wicked shall do wickedly:and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away (Jesus' sacrifice has already lasted 738,300 days,and now will be taken away),and the abomination that maketh desolate set up(in the midst of the last week of years),there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.(END of this current world of Devil)
12Blessed is he that waiteth,and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Now, verses 3 to 8 are being fulfilled, the beginning of sorrows, and the decay of the Churches with the development of apostasies and iniquities-verses 9 to 14.
Then, the last week- Daniel 9:27- is about to start and with this event the persecutions of the first half of the week-42 months- Revelation 13:5- by the Beast of sea, culminating with the establishment of the Abomination of Desolation for 1,290 days in the second half of the week (plus 30 days)-verses 15 to 27 combined with Daniel 12:11 and 11:v.31. It is the END of this world and a sign of the coming of JESUS: Matthew 24:3 combined with Revelation 11:15-18. Blessed is he who waits and comes at 1335 days- Daniel 12:12 , 45 days after finishing the Abomination of Desolation. GET READY
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: ( Deuteronomy 28:13).
Some things in our Christian walk may seem like worldly wisdom; but when we live in a society that is decaying much like the Roman Empire did we see how God contrasts the rewards of those with a work ethic compared to those who don't. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 states that if we don't work we don't eat; and amazingly enough Lenin who started Communist rule in Russia had the same ethic along with some early labor leaders in this country. The verse I have quoted could certainly apply to those who do NOT subject themselves to "usury" which God's people were told not to do or do to each other (see Nehemiah 5:7-10; Leviticus 25:36). That process; of course leads to bondage for extended payment well beyond that borrowed; and has many people in slavery in the world today.
When push comes to shove; when we ask God to provide income He will provide what is necessary in His timing if we are physically and mentally up to the work. To save money should of course be for our families and future inheritance as well as to meet our own needs; but also the principle of saving a little at a time is beneficial if we need to help those in our midst; particularly in the Body of Christ.
There are many other admonitions in scripture for husbands; wives and children to follow; as well as single people and widows.
If we call ourselves "Christian" and are lacking in any of these disciplines and we find God blessing someone who is not a believer because they are following some of these principles we should not be surprised. God is impartial and blesses those He wishes to bless; curses those likewise according to His will. (see Luke 16:9-13 as to how to use "unrighteous mammon"
Given the plethora of postings I have planted here today I will attempt to cease and desist for at least the rest of today. My last posting made a few statements on blessings and covenants of God.
In light of the current economic situation today; we face the very real spectre that our food supply may be in dire jeopardy; and hence may be the best investment to make. Precious metals as of late have taken a hit and we don't find an edible gold bar as an option. Those who are able to sustain their family and perhaps church communities that can do this with arable land will benefit uniquely; and the Amish are one example of "backward" culture that has managed to avoid starvation (as far as I know) by responsible sustainability of their arable land over the centuries. There is the tendancy to view such a mindset as like the cults; no doubt such ventures in the past have been used to entice people from true worship to that of the cult leaders. This should certainly not deter us from the positive lessons sustainability of this sort brings.
Given the insane state of much of America's youth today (and spreading to other countries no doubt); again we can see many advantages to communities who keep to themselves in this manner. There are unique problems and issues; of course in any community that we must avoid. Nonetheless it is worth considering; as our homes; our stocks; our possessions are of little value if we can't feed ourselves! The state of our power grid is grim; and whether it be an EMP; a terrorist event or a Carrington (solar flare) situation the crap seems like it is going to hit the fan at some point not to far from now unless a complete overhaul is undertaken. I am reminded of Deuteronomy 28:13 where we are told to be the "head and not the tail"; lending and helping others in difficult times. This is a deviation from a purely Biblical subject; but as James 1:5 shows God gives wisdom if we ask
God -
The bible the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was originally written in Greek then English. in order to understand why Jesus, the son of the living God, said the father who is God.
you need to go back to geneses and to be exact in Hebrew where you find in Genesis one 1:1 in Hebrew Elohim. the Name ELOHIM is in Plural and immediate we are introduced to God the father God the son and God the Holy Spirt.
Now we see from the very first chapter of the bible The Trinity created all we see visible and the invisible which we can note see with our naked eyes.
This means there's one God who exist as one person yet eternally exists as three distinct Persons God the father God the son and God the Holy Spirt and in
2 peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
Pray that God will give you understanding.
Amen.
The will of the father is to obey His word. and the Word is the bible and all that is written in it 2 timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
and in its written in Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
and lastly this is the will of the father that each man shall obey His word and if we will obey, He will be our father and we, His people.
Deuteronomy 28:11And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I
I've been here for a little eternity and never perceived anything like that. Injustice is the worst thing I know and then I get a little angry. Then I seek the Lord and all will be well. So it's not for me to be a respecter of people. We are all alike before the Lord. Woman, man, no matter where on the planet we come from. In He there is no difference! Often we see foreigners come up with phrases like racism. And then it becomes the case that it is the foreigner himself who is racist. Not those who welcome them into their country, or in their families. We feel treated differently and so on. Then the spikes stick straight out from people who feel differently treated. Then those people should look to themselves and not gape and scream about racism.
And are we with the Lord Jesus Christ and know that in He we have light. and love. Then it does not matter how one looks.
Regards with Matthew 13 chapter. Stay strong in the word of God and be patient with all people. Love u in Christ
We are living in troubled times where good is called evil and evil is called good. I really feel that those who are fixed on skin color have been deceived to believe their own lies. I pray God gives us all eyes that see and ears that hear all of what He wants, rather than what self wants.
Wake up America!!!
"Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
I'm taking the word "cursed" directly from the Bible not other witchcraft things of this world because GOD said no undue curse shall stand. Proverbs 26:2, That stuff has no power over Believers that stay in GOD's ways.
Malachi 2:2, Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 18:8, Leviticus 20:11, the laws GOD had given Moses included the things forbidden that he was actually asking for Solomon to give permission. Being the king, guilt would have cursed as Deuteronomy 28:15-68, promises. Israel agreed to that, in Deuteronomy 27,

Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. Isaiah 65:8-10.
NOTICE: HERES A CONTRAST GROUP IN Isaiah 65:11-16. These blessings is not to ALL!
Isaiah 65:17. parallels with Revelation 21:1. So you can go back and forward between the two books and get the sequence of events in its order and see the players involved and their separate destinations.
Isaiah 65:18-20 is clearly Israel and clearly future. (Not the Church)
See here the parallels:
Isaiah 65:19. and Revelation 21:4.
Isaiah 65:21_23. and Deuteronomy 28:30-33 ( Deuteronomy 28:45-46) is clearly Israel.
Isaiah 65:25. Clearly future.
Notice the economy, location, two groups and two fates, in both Revelation and Isaiah in both books last few chapters.
Isaiah 66.
Isaiah66;17-21. and Matthew 25:31-46. (Judgement of the individuals of the Nations) Notice three groups 1) The sheep.
2) The Goats. 3) The little ones. (Possibly the 144000 sealed servants.)
Isaiah 66:22. Shows Gods faithful promises and purpose for Israel is eternal.
Now we come to Isaiah 66;23-24.
Isaiah 66:23. Speaks of All those who are saved!
Isaiah 66:24. Speaks of those who are not. ( Revelation 21:1-8.)
IS 66;24. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: FOR THEIR WORM SHALL NOT DIE, NEITHER SHALL THEIR FIRE BE QUENCED; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. ( This speaks of their eternal state of damnation.) as seen in Revelation 20:13-15. Revelation 22:11.
2 Peter 3:6-14. Speaks of two groups, repentance, consequences.
And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:
Isaiah 32:17
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Acts 17:31
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
1 Thessalonians 1:5
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
Hebrews 6:11
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
By consenting to become a born again Christian ( John 3)
To let go and receive the salvation of Jesus Christ;
To be filled with the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit.
An exchange is made in Heaven as your name is recorded in the BOOK OF LIFE. Jesus takes your sins (past, present, future) upon Himself. He becomes your Lord; but it takes some Bible reading to discover that.
You have assurance that FAITHFUL IS HE THAT PROMISED. All your sin is washed away with his blood. Isaiah 1:18. (Past, Present, Future)
If we have failures (we all do) then mark in your Bible,
1 John 1:8-10. Pray and confess. Jesus throws it as far as East is to west (infinity).
This is why we sing Blessed Assurance at Church. :)
Build Christian friendships.
The northern kingdom of Israel suffered it during the latter end of its existence.
2 Kings 6:24-30
The southern kingdom of Judah suffered it during the Babylonian conquests that kept increasing the number of those being led into captivity. Ezekiel was a captivity prophet.
Ezekiel 5:10
Extra biblically, the Donner party is a famous case of famine driven canabalism.
Revelation includes famine and death by hunger as two of the 4 horsemen. Revelation 6:5-8. It is likely horrors like canabalism will occur.
Jehovah did not like unauthorized eyes casting glances at the contents of the Ark of the Covenant which reputedly contained the stone tablets on which the 10 commandments were written, along with Aaron's rod and a golden jar of manna. This happened a lot when the Philistines captured the Ark at the battle of Eben-Ezer where the Israelites were defeated with the loss of 30,000 men. Curiosity about what was in the Ark got the better of the victors.
When bad things started happening to the smitten Philistine's bottoms, they were happy TO RETURN THE ARK to it's rightful (Israelite) owners.
"The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed."
Deuteronomy 28:27 (KJV)
9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it (the Ark of the Covenant) about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

I don't fit in a category. I raised my son to be a leader; and he is. My grandson is being raised the same way. To lead the crowd, not be it. I taught him to be "the agent of change."
He was 6 when I was saved. I turned off the tv and we read the Proverbs together. He was the coolest little dude. Headstrong. We'd talk about choices and results.
He attended Christian school. But I never turned him over to Teachers to MOLD him. I deliberately taught him the truth when he came home. The teacher taught we came from apes. I asked him if he had ever saw an ape in a BMW, with A/C and surround sound, eating a subway sandwich? Nope. Etc. He was very upset he had to take a test on it. I gave him permission to fail that test; which he did. We did a extra credit project and he passed school that way.
It's wrong to make children compromise. It seriously damages their emotions. NO ABSOLUTES. CHURCH IS FALSE TEACHING?? Not in my house.
The Principal called ME for conference. She tried to get me on her side. I told her I have an attorney that will happily take my case to court. We stared at each other a few. She said she'd be in touch, but I never heard from her.
I taught RACES to my own kid. I started at Genesis. From Adam and Eve, issued ALL COLORS OF MANKIND. God likes variety. Romans 1. Colors DONT make people dumb. Not studying does. Pass the test. Following the 12 commandments pleases God, and He has your back. You can count on that. Fight with intelligence; which comes from God. He did. He had close friends of all colors. He's still that same kid; just older. Refuse to bow the knee to insanity. The Government is NOT God. Follow peace with all men/women. God said don't Judge. Use righteous judgment.
Teach your own children. Push back. God is on OUR side. Deuteronomy 28:32, 30:19
