The mercies of God.

      Gen. 32:10   Look at Jacob here.  He humbles himself saying two things are important.  He sees that mercies and truth are the greatest thing here that will save his life from the wrath of his brother Esau. He reveals that he didn't do anything to deserve them.   In ver. 11  he is honest and says he fears his brother and will send two groups of his family ahead of him.  v.12  His faith is in the promises of God to the fathers and him.    Gal.3:29  shows us that the same promise there applies to those who are believers in Jesus.

     In John 14:6  Jesus is the way  the truth  and the life.  There we have the truth, he teaches only truth.  The word for truth also includes stability.  That keeps a person from developing their own doctrine or beliefs. Here is a example of what I'm saying here. 

     There was a time when a certain church had cassette tapes for the whole  seminary that they taught at their college.   After borrowing from their library I heard them all.  There was one tape that was very troubling.  The basic point was that he taught you can blaspheme the Holy Spirit and be saved.  He said that was for past times but now it's not a problem with God. He will forgive.  Matt. 12:31 shows that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.  One of them is charging his works  of the devil.  

     This was a tape by Wilmington at liberty University. Back in Jerry  F. time.  It is likely that students will agree or fail.

     Also Jacob trusted on the character of God.  God is in himself mercy.  He  gives out of himself mercies.  If you are in need of God to help you humbly ask for mercy.  Study that word in the bible.  It will quicken your faith.  Remember God is also truth and he will respond to those who keep the truth and not error concerning his word.  Hitler was prosperous  and very wealthy, that did not proof God gave it to him. He was a thief and corruption.  Also a tyrant.  So are false teachers and prophets for they rob the poor.

     In mercy to the end time church, God is calling us to truth and mercy.  Forgiveness is a important lesson and sometimes hard to learn.  We as Christians have a lot of enemies, and will be like Jesus to be merciful.  How to win?  Out of God's vast supply he will recover all losses and protect and make all work for our good.  What a joy to have seen this many many times.  The big thing is the wisdom of God flow as a river to make my sad heart joyful.

     In Lam. 3:22-23  my  example.  remember the manna Israel had daily?  That was while they had been much complaining.  Every day it was there.  In Lam.3  we see his compassions  fail not they are new every morning (day).  I don't  deserve this but he gives it faithfully.  I love his truth and his mercy.  I love him because  he is great and worthy to be praised.  Best of all I know him personally and not just a religion.

     By the way, Esau is the Arabs who are always fighting with Israel.  They forgot Jacob and Esau made peace.  Don't ever forfeit your birth right.  Jacob used it wisely.  My birth right is Jesus and he is forever my God.

The Jewish leaders said Jesus sinned. John 10:33 did he ?

      Jn. 10:33-36  They didn't say it for his good works, yet they  called him  Beelzebub.  They were liars.  They charged him falsely with having sin.  He said he is the son of God.  blaspheme is a sin.  They charged him with high sin and therefore death.   see  Deut. 21:23  and  Gal. 3:13  if your hanged on a tree you are a curse.  Not if you are innocent and falsely charged with sin.  That is therefore the sin put on him, and in turn he received a reproach.  reproach means -- shame,  rebuke, disgrace.  we were sinners before Jesus became our savior.    If we sin,  we confess and ask forgiveness.  1Jn.1:9   That sin is a reproach and the world points the finger-- that is reproach.  If in prayer we apologize God will forgive and reproach is removed from his view.  

      Ps. 69:9,20  the reproaches have fallen on Christ,  that is what came on him not our sins.  2 Cor. 5:21 He was made sin was the charge made of him-- he blasphemes.  Because  he says he is the son of God.   see Matt. 27:40,43.   both verses show the people saying come down and saying if you be the son of God.  That was reproach-- rebuke shame disgrace.  Today they say he was a sinner an had to be born again .  If anyone says Jesus blood  unclean they are guilty of  blasphemy.  If done accidentally ask forgiveness and make it right through knowledge of the word.

     The leaders real concern was that he was a king and  qualified to be a leader instead of them.  They always were trying to kill or stop his  movement of righteousness.  They would try to trap him in his speech or try to set him up by false charges.  They were hypocrites. They would make all the laws work to their advantage.  They loved the tax money.  Also the power lead for advantage.  Come quickly Lord Jesus.

prophesy being fulfilled right now.

      1.  D. Trump with Netanyahu tried to get the peace treaty signed by Palestinians.  This is the same  treaty  the Antichrist will fulfil.  see D

 an.9:27  that peace is by treaty.

     2.   The building of a Abrahamic  -- 3 buildings.  This is a beginning of a one world religion.  it is Catholic , Islam, Jewish.  It is not Christian.  

     3.   The third temple is now being built.   

      4.    The Red heifer which has not been for many years has appeared.  It is used for a offering to cleanse  all that pertains to the temple in  a ceremony.  see Num. 19:1-10. 

      5.   Many of the future events Jesus mentioned in Matt. 24:  are happening.   He also said the temple in Roman times would be completely taken apart stone by stone and that happened.

      6.   Many U.S.A.  Presidents have declared we need a NWO   new world order.

      7.   We see a one world banking system arising.  This would  fulfil the prophesy that no one can buy or sell unless take mark of the beast. Rev. 13:17.  

      8.   Many nations which are communist are  joining together to remove the biblical ethics.   I still remember during Obama  tghe setting up of the gates of Baal different places one in NYC.  

      9.  Do some homework,  many Egyptian symbols are attached to  logos in most businesses.  On the  back of the dollar for example eye and pyramid.  Pharaoh will rise again and he is really antichrist.

      10.   Movies with occult and witchcraft are popular.  read the abominations of  2 Chron. 33:6, Deut. 18:10.    magic wands are a popular abom.  Ex. 22:18 witches not to live--that is proof of right to judge.

      11.   Pharaoh and Herod  put babies to death.  Why?  they are created in the image of God.  Are you a man or a woman?  You are created in the image of God.   Do you wear costumes or strange  clothing?  You are made in the image of God.

       12.  The bible is God's word and standard.  If you said it it is your words.  If God says it then those are his words and they are to be understood the way he said them.  Tamper all you want they will never be changed by God.  The bible was written with many secrets to prove it is  reliable.  Unfortunately  if you debate with it all the secrets stay hidden.  

    I have only scratched the surface  with this post.  may do more later of the  secrets. 

The church of today one thing needed.

      The wisdom of the O.T. reveals  a important lesson for us today.  Unfortunately  it  is this wisdom that is rejected.  It was surprising when I saw that it was two times mentioned in both Ex. 18: and Num. 11: both were  not exactly the same but gave the same point.    

     In Ex. 18 :18  The problem was Moses  was not able to do it alone.  He needed men to help him.    in  v.21 we see that men to help  him must be qualified.   A.   They must be  men who love truth.  B.   They must not be lovers of money and temporal things. That is a  heart of idolatry.   By the way if you say you love truth you will be walking in the truth.  

     In Num. 11:14  This is another situation where Moses is finding the people a difficult situation, they are so many.  Best estimates were there were  3 and a half million people out of Egypt.  They were a people who murmured and complained.   This is where Go calls for 70 elders.    In 11:17 God takes of the Holy Spirit  and gives it also to the 70 elders.  Then we have a event that pictures Pentecost.  In Acts 2:17  The Holy Spirit fell on the people and they shall prophesy. along with visions and dreams also.  In 2:20  we have also blood moon.  

     Now to illumine--  Moses needed men of the Spirit.    He  is seen to know without that help the people would fall.    When Pentecost came it was the same thing, people being used by God's Spirit  to do amazing things.  Now compare our time.  Read 1 Cor. 5:11  These are people not qualified  to even be associate with.  2Thess. 2:3  a great falling away  an the antichrist  revealed.   So many scriptures reveal that because the Assemblies are not full of the Holy Spirit and  one minister over them--not five-fold,  they are weak an unable to fulfil God's will.    The excuse not for today is prevalent .   Only God can cause there to be divine order, the rest is flesh.   Just maybe I sound like I am prophesying. 

Good tidings of joy Luke chapter 1,2,8

      These 3 chapters reveal what the gospel is.   In ch.1 :19  the angel Gabriel announces  he is come to bring glad tidings.  In ch. 2:10  the angel says I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. In ch. 8:1  The preaching going about was glad tidings about the kingdom of God.  This good news was at that time being told to Jews who were at times becoming converts to Christianity. 

     In Romans 10:15  what is being preached?  The gospel of peace which is the glad tidings.  One observe you can see is that the gospel of peace was being told to Jews.  Later when it went to Gentiles it started with Greeks.  My point is that if it were gospel of peace it was called shalom.  Yes tidings of shalom.  That was a Hebrew word.   H7965 BDB  shalom  I chose a few definitions words.  completeness, health, prosperity,  safety,  contentment, protect from war etc.  that was the gospel Jesus was preaching.  He kept quiet about the cross.  that is found in Matt. 17.   The Holy Spirit was the bringer of power to obtain the good tidings.

     Now we have  a problem.  As time went on there was those who didn't like  people being converts to Christian faith.  This was a loss of money and support.  Constantine had a plan to give people a place in his kingdom.  He  would invent a plan to save his kingdom , so he must make everyone happy.  So he allowed  Christians and Jews to dwell with the other peoples who had different religions if they would pay tribute and taxes.  That would make everyone happy as they would support  Constantine.  

     The name of this program will shock you.  What did Constantine invent.  (mas)  This Hebrew word is H4522 mas BDB  some chosen words from definition are -- forced labor,  tribute, taskmasters, slaves, enforced payment.   That was the noun.  here is the verb. H4549 masas  BDB   a few here.  melt away, waste,  faint, grow fearful,  worthless.   As you can see a path to destruction.  Just one example , support of a man who says he is God.  That would cause a falling from grace.  The law of God was thou shalt not kill,  Con. was a military leader killing to conquer for his cause.  Do some history homework.  

     In summary-- mas and masas do not sound like good tidings of great joy but bondage.  I have a title for it  anti-Christ turned backwards  is  Christ-mas.
