Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!

WITH ONE ACTION HE STOPPED THE SCOURGE AGAINST

ISRAEL AND YAH.WEH’S ANGER WENT AWAY!

BUT 24,000 DIED!

- WHAT ABOUT US?

____________________________________________________________

Many people think they read the Bible but when you listen to them, it is clear they don’t read it!
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO READ THE BIBLE: TO TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT YOU READ!
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES!
YOU MUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEN YOU WILL START TO LEARN ABOUT THE BIBLE!

____________________________________________________________

In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
An important man must go to a distant land to secure kingly power!
To his ten slaves he gives money to do business with it till he comes back!
When he comes back, he wants to know what his slaves have done with their business activity!
According to what they have done he gives them authority over cities!
BUT ONE SLAVE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING!
And he takes what he gave to this slave and gives it to the one who did the best job!
SO THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL BE GIVEN!
BUT THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE!
What about you?

_______________________________________________________

Maybe you remember that Yah.weh prevented David from building his temple because he was a soldier and he spent a big part of his life making war!
Jesus clearly said a Christian can’t do that!
In fact, everything we hear in the first part of the Bible has nothing but nothing to do with what a Christian must or mustn’t do!
THUS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE FIRST PART OF THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFY ANY PRACTICE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS NOTHING BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS’ TEACHING!
I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT IT!

__________________________________________________________________________
EXODUS 3:15
YAH.WEH THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS – THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB – HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.
__________________________________________________________________________
Jesus had siblings :
- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!
__________________________________________________________________________

Remember that!
Isaiah means Yah.weh is salvation!
He prophesied about the Messiah!
The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son!
And she will call him Immanuel meaning God is with us! (Isaiah 7:14)
Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!
People will see a great light!
A child is born, a son is given!
And the government will be upon his shoulders!
And He will be called Wonderful Counselor!
Mighty God!
Everlasting Father!
Prince of Peace!
Of the increase of His government!
And peace there will be no end!
He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom!
To establish and sustain it!
With justice and righteousness!
From that time and forevermore!
The zeal of Yah.weh of hosts will accomplish this! (Isaiah 9:1-7)
The Spirit of Yah.weh will rest on Him!
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding!
The Spirit of counsel and strength!
The Spirit of knowledge!
And the fear of Yah.weh!
And he will delight in the fear of Yah.weh!
He will not judge by what his eyes see!
And he will not decide by what his ears hear!
But with righteousness he will judge the poor!
And with equity He will decide in favor of the earth’s oppressed!
He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth!
And slay the wicked with the breath of His lips! (Isaiah 11:2-4)
Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows!
Yet we considered Him stricken by God!
Struck down and afflicted!
But He was pierced for our transgressions!
He was crushed for our iniquities!
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him!
And by his stripes we are healed!
We all like sheep have gone astray!
Each one has turned to his own way!
And Yah.weh has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!
He was oppressed and afflicted!
Yet he did not open His mouth!
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter!
And as a sheep before her shearers is silent!
So He did not open His mouth!
He was assigned a grave with the wicked!
And with a rich man in His death!
Although he had done no violence!
Nor was any deceit in His mouth!
Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great!
And he will divide the spoils with the strong!
Because he has poured out His life unto death!
And he was numbered among the transgressors!
Yet he bore the sin of many!
And made intercession for the transgressors! (Isaiah 53:4-7, 9,12)
And He replied, “Go and tell this people:
‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
Be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ (Isaiah 6:9)
The Spirit of the Lord Yah.weh is on Me!
Because Yah.weh has anointed Me!
To preach good news to the poor!
He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted!
To proclaim liberty to the captives!
And release from darkness to the prisoners!
To proclaim the year of Yah.weh’s favor!
And the day of our God’s vengeance!
To comfort all who mourn!
(Isaiah 61:1-2)

____________________________________________________________
Remember:

If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
They used to write differently!
They used to speak differently!
They used to think differently!
They used to act differently!

__________________________________________________________________________
Remember:
Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.
This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.
Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

Point of time (a specific day)
time period of a whole or half a day:
- Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
- Sunrise to sunset
- Sunset to next sunset
General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
A year "lived a lot of days"
Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

__________________________________________________________________________
The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.
Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

JLG · Jun 23, 2023

Somebody says:

"Via circumstances that on a broad scale failed."

My answer:

- Yah.weh is looking for quality rather than quantity!

- Yah.weh is looking for the purification of his people!

- In the Bible, we are told about a few faithful servants of Yah.weh but what servants!

- Think about what the devil did against Job and he failed!

- What a failure for the devil!

- Job proved he was a liar!

- The next purification will occur when Jesus comes back as a warrior to install and run the kingdom of his Father!

- And then after the 1,000 years there will be another purification, the last one, the last choice for or against Yah.weh!

- Obtaining pure gold to build a perfect society primitive men have no idea about!
