Matthew(Gift of God) 11:11-20
[11]Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John(grace) the Baptist(repentance, sign of being born again): notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.(those that enter, rest)
[12]And from the days of John(grace) the Baptist(repentance)until now the kingdom(dominion, sovereignty, realm)of heaven(paradise, firmament, expanse)suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
[13]For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John(grace).
[14]And if ye will receive it, this is Elias(elisha,God is my salvation, the son of God), which was for to come.
[15]He that hath ears(mind) to hear(understand), let him hear.(understand)
[16]But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
[17]And saying, We have piped unto you(followed your counsel), and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you(believed in your way), and ye have not lamented.(mourned for us)
[Isaiah 3:16
[16]Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion(mark, indication) are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes(counsel of the ungodly), walking and mincing as they go(believe in the way of sin), and making a tinkling with their feet(and are, comfortable: seat of the scornful)]
[18]For John(grace) came neither eating(nothing to hang upon) nor drinking(anything to hold on to, only faith), and they say, He hath a devil(he is my adversary).
[19]The Son of man came eating(lights, urim) and drinking(perfections, thummin), and they say, Behold a man gluttonous(worthless, morally loose), and a winebibber(saying crazy things), a friend of publicans(teaching The kingdom of heaven)and sinners(statutes). But wisdom is justified of her children.
[20]Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.
[ 1 Samuel(God has heard: name of God) 1:11-17
[11]And she vowed a vow(consecrated), and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction(ignorance) of thine handmaid(mercy), and remember me(comfort), and not forget thine handmaid(grace), but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child(understanding), then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life(savior), and there shall no razor come upon his head.(separated, Nazarite vow)
[12]And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli(the ascended one)marked her mouth.(messenger of Zion, seal of God)
[13]Now Hannah(favor), she spake in her heart(the holy ghost); only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard(the voice of god was not heard): therefore Eli(the ascended one) thought she had been drunken.(has a devil)
[14]And Eli(the ascended one)said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken(speak unclear)? put away thy wine from thee.(speak clearly)
[15]And Hannah(favor) answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine(not listened to others)nor strong drink(nor consulted with spirits), but have poured out my soul before the LORD.(repented)
[16]Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial(the worthless): for out of the abundance of my complaint(prayer, grace) and grief(supplications, mercy)have I spoken hitherto.
[17]Then Eli(the ascended one) answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel(those who strives with faith, God) grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.(savior)]
Matthew 11:2-10
[2]Now when John(grace) had heard in the prison the works of Christ(the annointed), he sent two of his disciples,
[3]And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
[4]Jesus(salvation)answered and said unto them, Go and shew John(grace)again those things which ye do hear and seeunderstand and know)
[5]The blind receive their sight(know sin)), and the lame walk(understand righteousness), the lepers are cleansed(judgement), and the deaf hear(truth), the dead are raised up(life), and the poor have the gospel preached to them.(set the captives free)
[6]And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.(the eye of a needle, saved)[qof]
[7]And as they departed, Jesus(salvation)began to say unto the multitudes concerning John(grace), What went ye out into the wilderness to see?(what were you expecting to learn from the word?)A reed shaken with the wind?(more inconsistencies?)
[8]But what went ye out for to see?(what did you think would save you?) A man clothed in soft raiment?(an angel dressed in white) behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.(the saints are in the heavens)
[9]But what went ye out for to see?(do you want to know who saves) A prophet?(seer?) yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. (A seer, a priest, and a king)
[10]For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee..
(The burden of The lord. The mercy of Jesus(salvation), the humbleness of John(grace[3] The testimony of salvation of the annointed [4] the face of god,
Psalms 23:1-6
[1](A Psalm of David-the praise of the beloved) The LORD(Father, son, holy spirit)is my shepherd(God); I shall not want(stray).
[2]He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
[3]He restoreth my soul(grace): he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.(Emmanuel-God with us)
[4]Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;(mercy) thy rod(word) and thy staff(truth) they comfort me.(Father)
[5]Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
[6]Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
Revelation 21:2-8
[2]And I John(grace) saw the holy city(place set apart), new Jerusalem(the new city of peace), coming down from God out of heaven(the firmament), prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.(the marriage supper)
[3]And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold(observe), the tabernacle of God is with men(the truth is in the world), and he will dwell with them(it will lead them), and they shall be his people(it will guide them), and God himself shall be with them(they will know God), and be their God.(christ)
[4]And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.(testimony of jesus christ)
[5]And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. ( the way the truth and the life)
[6]And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Elisha)
[7]He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.(King David- Solomon)
[8]But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Noah- rest)
““Listen, you who are deaf! Look and see, you blind! Who is as blind as my own people, my servant? Who is as deaf as my messenger? Who is as blind as my chosen people, the servant of the Lord? You see and recognize what is right but refuse to act on it. You hear with your ears, but you don’t really listen.” Because he is righteous, the Lord has exalted his glorious law. But his own people have been robbed and plundered, enslaved, imprisoned, and trapped. They are fair game for anyone and have no one to protect them, no one to take them back home. Who will hear these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you in the future? Who allowed Israel to be robbed and hurt? It was the Lord, against whom we sinned, for the people would not walk in his path, nor would they obey his law. Therefore, he poured out his fury on them and destroyed them in battle. They were enveloped in flames, but they still refused to understand. They were consumed by fire, but they did not learn their lesson.”

Fear Not
“But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom; I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place.”
