Bits of psalm 9, how I feel today.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
The Lord reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]He rules the world in righteousness
and judges the peoples with equity.
Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.

JONAH 4:9 God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?” He said, “I am right to be angry, even to death.”
JONAH 4:10 The Lord said, “You have been concerned for the vine, for which you have not labored, neither made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night.
JONAH 4:11 Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”

The order in Nineveh seems similar to what he shows in Jeremiah

Jerm 18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, topluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

Jerm 18:8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent ofthe evil that I thought to do unto them.

After Jonah fleeing the commission of the word of the LORD (the first time sign)

Jonah 3:1 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

Jonah 3:2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.


Jonah 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey,and he cried, and said,

Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown
. (Jerm 18:7-8)

God in times past spake in divers manners by the prophets (Heb 1:1)

Jonah 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.


Jona 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;

And God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

(Also in accord also with Jerm 18:7-8) again

Jerm 18:8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil,

I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

And we see again,

Jona 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way;

And God repented of the evil
...

As the LORD hath said,

I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live:

Similarly it says,

Ezek 33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying,

Master, we would see a sign from thee
.

Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

The first sign (in Jonas) is given to them

Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.


Luke 11:30
For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation

The apostles say, Jesus also was sent unto them to bless them (first) in this way

Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. (See 2 Ti 2:19 also)

As Paul also says,

Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

In respects to his blood, requires it at the watchmans hand not warning

Ezek 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the peoplebe not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

Whereas Paul had said similarly

Acts 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Acts 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

Jesus sent them into every city

Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Luke 10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

Luke 10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Luke 10:12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

Luke 10:13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

Luke 10:14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.

Luke 10:15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

Luke 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

Again, here

Acts 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Acts 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

Paul preaches faith in Christ to Felix in Acts 24:25

As he (Paul) reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come,

It is not a convenient season for Felix

Felix trembled
,
and answered,

Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee
.

Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah Mat 12:41

Psalm 133 See how good and how pleasant it is
for brothers to live together in unity!
2
It is like the precious oil on the head,
that ran down on the beard,
even Aaron’s beard;
that came down on the edge of his robes;
3
like the dew of Hermon,
that comes down on the hills of Zion:
for there the Lord gives the blessing,
even life forever more.

Psa_110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Isa_66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Act_7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

Act_2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

Heb_8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

Heb_10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;Heb_10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Heb_12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Acts 15:13-17 KJV And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

Amen, I love all of these on our Lord, bless our great God, here is one that wouldnt fit on one post needed two to follow through from birth to resurrection

Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:34, Luke 2:4-7)

Hear now House of David

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

Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: thereforealso that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Mat 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

For the law made nothing perfect but the better hope did

Gal 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Heb 7:9 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there thatanother priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, (Psalm 110:4) and not be called after the order of Aaron?

So, if he were on earth he should not be a priest


Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Luke 17:14 And when he (Jesus) saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

Heb 7:21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec )

Heb 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

Heb 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

Heb 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

John 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

Heb 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Heb 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Heb 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty inthe heavens;

Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man

Back earlier some

Mat 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

Mat 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?

They say unto him, The Son of David
.

Mat 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

Mat 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1, Acts 2:31-34)


He saith unto them,

Mat 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? (Psalm 110:1)

The apostles expound,

Acts 2:30 Therefore (David) being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, hewould raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Where he is declared the Son of God (the second psalm)

Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee

Having Set his King on his holy hill, who is the first begotten of the dead

Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

God having fulfilled the second psalm (in raising Jesus up again) from the dead

Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm,Thou art my Son,this day have I begotten thee.

Heb 5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Continued from the last one

Psalm 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Which in his times he shall shew...

1Ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Even as it says in the same psalm next verse

Psalm 110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

Whereas in times as shown is his wrath...

Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of himthat sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath ofthe Lamb:

Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, the Lord of lords and King of kings, and the Son of God

Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

1Thes 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

The Word made flesh

Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:

and his name is called The Word of God
.

Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Proverbs begs the question, this way

Prov 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

The apostles argue againsts the possibility of that being David, but take up what David said

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Ephes 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (return to this one)

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, whichye now see and hear.

Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty inthe heavens;

1Cr 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all thingsunder him.

1Cr 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto himthat put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Isaiah 55:4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

Rev 1:5 From Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us,and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Mat 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

Mat 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1, Acts 2:31-34)

Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raiseup Christ to sit on his throne;

Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


Showing the Greater

Heb 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

Even as the Father is greater

John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to the end of all strife.

Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay holdupon the hope set before us:


Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Heb 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek

Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:


John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Abram's name wasn't even changed until after he met Melchizedek (also Gen 14:19 & Gen 17:5)

Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessedbe Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

Abram's name changed to Abraham...

Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

So even in that respect.

Melchizedek was the first to bring forth the bread and the wine...

Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.


Jesus likewise with his disciples

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance ofme. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

Which shows his death. If he were on earth he would not be a priest (Heb 8:4) even as elsewhere it says his life was taken from the earth (in Isaiah 53:8, being cut off out of the land of the living Acts 8:33).

Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda;

of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Heb 7:15 And it is yet far more evident:

for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
(Psalm 110:4)

Which is a similitude for Jesus Christ

Psalm 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

If he were on earth he should not be a priest, (springing out of Judah)

Even though Mic 5:2... out of thee (Judah) shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel

His life was taken from the earth

John 14:28 I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

David himself saw before the resurrection of Jesus Christ

Psalm 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Speaks of his goings forth which have been from old (even from everlasting)

Mic 5:2....whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

They asked,

John 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham ?

Whereas hebrews seems to take this up

Heb 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

As Jesus said,

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

But then again,

Mic 5:2....whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Heb 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Heb 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

I just like this combo

John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.


Gen 4:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

Psalm 104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.


Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Heb 7:2
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

He is The Lord our righteousness, even as He is our peace.

Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

These were for signs and wonders in Israel

Isaiah 8:18 (( Behold )) I and the children whom the LORD hath (( given )) me
are for signs and for wonders (( in )) Israel from the LORD of hosts,
which dwelleth (( in )) mount Zion.

John 6:65 And he said, (( Therefore )) said I unto you,
that no man (( can come )) unto me,
except it were (( given )) unto him of my Father.

Predestined unto "the adoption of" children "by Christ" (unto ) the Father

Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us
(( unto )) the adoption of children by Jesus Christ (( to )) himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,

John 17:9 I pray for (( them )) I pray not for the world,
but for them which thou hast(( given )) me; for they are thine.

John 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine;
and
I am glorified(( in ))them.

Again, Christ and the children the LORD hath given him are for signs

Isaiah 8:18 (( Behold )) I and the children whom the LORD hath (( given )) me
are for signs and for wonders (( in )) Israel from the LORD of hosts,
which dwelleth (( in )) mount Zion.

And as the Father sent Christ (being approved of God among them) even by miracles signs, and wonders (for which Christ is for) he also sends them

John 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

And the Lord works with them (these shown as children) confirming the word through them with signs following

Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, (Galatians 1:16 and Galatians 2:8) the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.

As Peter asks the men of Israel,

Acts 3:12... Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? (Luke 24:49)

Just as with Paul an apostle not of men in Galatians 1:1 where he says to them, truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among them in the same 2 Corinthians 12:12

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

The same picking up in Paul

Act 19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

Act 19:12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. (Mark 16:20 & 2 Corinthians 12:12)

2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

And following the same course as shown in the Lord

Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, andhealing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. (Acts 2:22)

As with Christ, even in Paul (as with Peter) being anointed with the Holy Ghost

2 Cr 1:21-22 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

God richly bless you

1John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1John 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

1John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neitherin tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1John 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

1John 3:10 In this the children of Godare manifest, and the children of the devil:whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

I was playing one day and I thought this was cool

Faith and grace in removing mountains

If
ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain,
Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove;
and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Who art thou, O great mountain?
before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain:
and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof
with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto
it.

Always reminded me of

Therefore it is
of faith,
that it might be by grace;

And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge;
and though I have all faith,
so that I could remove mountains,

and have not charity, I am nothing.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;
but the greatest of these
is charity.

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Without charity = I am nothing
Having put on charity = The bond of perfection

Enduring temption in this part of the same (there are divers of these)

James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised tothem that love him.

Heb 12:3
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Heb 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

1 Peter 2:23
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously
:

Heb 2:8
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted,
he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Heb 12:3
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Tempting Christ

Luke 20:23
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

Mark 12:15
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy,
said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

Mat 19:3
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying untohim
,
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Mat 22:35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him
,
and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Tempting him in the same to accuse him

John 8:6
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him
.

The wicked are revealed in these things (setting traps)

Jerm 5:26
For
among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait,
as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men
.

These lie in wait (above Jerm 5:26) as with and below (Prov 12:6) the wicked's words
are shown as that which lieth in wait for blood

Prov 12:6
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:
but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

The mouth of the upright (Prov 12:6) even the mouth Jesus Christ (Luke 21:15) gives them the same (See also 2 Ti 2:17) even as is shown here

Luke 21:13
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Luke 21:14
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

The mouth of the upright

Luke 21:15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Examples of Jesus Christ's tempters, accusers and persecutions in the religious sphere

Mat 22:15
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel
how they might entangle him in his talk.

These lying in wait in this way

Luke 11:54
Laying wait for him,
and seeking to catch something out of his mouth,
that
they might accuse him.

Its the words of these (even the wicked among his own people) that lie in wait tempting in similar ways provoking with questions to catch others with that intent

Jerm 5:26
For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares;
they set a trap,
they catch men.

These as well,

Isaiah 29:21
That make a man an offender for a word, that lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate
and turn aside the just for a thing of nought


Similarly, they say "Come" also, and not for water of life

Proverbs 1:11
If
they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood,
let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:


Prov 1:15
My son,
walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot fromtheir path:

Proverbs 1:18
And
they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

Again, laying in wait for blood, even in this way (shows "the words of" them, "the wicked")

Prov 12:6
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:
but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

Says they lay wait for their own (Prov 1:18)

God bless you

DANIEL 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

Jesus went unnoticed

Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.


But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

But your right, the kinder and more sensible ones are harder to keep a secret

Which again, is not always true because someones particular style is noticeable if they dont seek to cover it. Like myself I was always told no matter if you take down your colors or not your way of speking gives you away, it does.

Something would stand out
