Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

The temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed by Rome in AD 70. Then Jesus will come back. Then the end of the world.

Matthew 24:42-51 – Mark 13:1-37 – Luke 21:10-36

Fact of the Day

No!   The Key is found in Mark 13:30 – ‘THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE. Let’s look at what happened during their lifetime, following Matthew’s account:

WHEN will these things happen?
Not one stone will be left standing of Jesus’ Body until he “rebuilds” it in 3 days
Jesus was the chief cornerstone.  When it fell (crucifixion), the entire Mosaic system collapsed DURING THEIR LIFETIME. 

WHAT SIGNS of Jesus coming?
v. 6 – wars still going on, physical and spiritual
v. 8 – famine (of Word of God)
v. 8 – earthquakes at Jesus’ death and resurrection both DURING THEIR LIFETIME

BIRTH PANGS
v. 9-12 – hate, betrayals, killings, false prophets – endure to end. How JESUS & APOSTLES were treated
v. 13-14 – Gospel of KINGDOM to whole world dur. their lifetime at Pentecost, then the end of Mosaic AGE
v. 15 – “abomination” (idol worship & lusts of flesh) “desolation” (from no water of life) SINS OF WORLD IN THE TEMPLE OF JESUS’ BODY on the cross DURING THEIR LIFETIME

WHAT will be the SIGNS of Jesus COMING as King over his kingdom, the church? 
v 16-20– In Judea must flee. Don’t be a part of the mob that will demand his death.
v 21-22 – Then greatest tribulation since creation (cut ½ for elect’s sake)
v 23-26 – The Son of God was slapped and insulted by the priest. The Son of God was beaten to the point of death, then interrupted 1/2 way through to be crucified. 
v 27-28 – False Christs/Prophets (harassment at the cross)
v 29 – Son of Man at cross attracted the priestly vultures  
v 30 – Faced down Satan.  Sun & moon darkened, earthquakes, powers in heaven fell AT CRUCIFIXION
v 30 – THEN the sign of Son of Man in sky.  Ascended back to heaven  DURING THEIR LIFETIME  

WHAT SIGNS end of age?
v. 31 – Nailed Mosaic law to the cross (also Hebrews 9 & 10). 
Then conquered death 3 days later. 
Then Elect in heaven (apostles) gathered (in Jerusalem) to begin the KINGDOM in heaven,
Then Day of Pentecost on earth – the kingdom, the church established IN THEIR LIFETIME.

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

No one tried to kill Jesus until his last year

Matthew 12:14 – Matthew 26:4 – Mark 14:1 – Luke 22:2 – John 7:1-2 – John 7:19-25 – John 7: 30 & 44 – John 8:59 – John 10:31 & 39 – John 11:53

Fact of the Day

No! By the end of Jesus’ first year, the religious leaders began plotting to kill him.  For the next 2-1/2 years, he dodged them sometimes, and faced them down sometimes.  He did not give in until he decided to. It was always on his terms. He was always in control.

(1) Right after he healed on the Sabbath;

(2)  Right after he fed 5000 miraculously;

(3) Right after he called himself the Bread of Life;

(4) Right after he told the religious leaders they were sons of Satan;

(5) Right after he told them he could grant eternal life;

(6) Right after he brought Lazarus back to life;

(7) Right after Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as their king;

(8) Just before Jesus’ 3rd Passover of his ministry.

I am sooo much better than you.

The scripture for today, April 20 (4/20), is 1st John 4:20 as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

COVER-Millennial-med“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.”

Jealousy and hatred are very much akin. Are there people you are jealous of? Do they have a position you want, and so you say and do things to undermine their character or work, so you can get their position? Do you have a position you love, and there is a new person who could perform better, so you undermine that person’s ability in order to protect your position?

God eliminates jealousy this way: Do what you do best in private. What you accomplish  that everyone knows about isn’t as important to him as what you accomplish when no one is around to praise you. Jesus said those who receive acclamation by people already have their reward.(Matthew 6:1-5, 16-18).

Is divine reward from Almighty God for eternity so inferior in your mind that you would sacrifice it all to be number one here on earth?

Ah, my Lord God, forgive me. Pride stands between you and me. Take hold of my awful pride and dissolve it in a sea of tranquility graced by a ray of humility.

Friday 5/25 ~ How in the world am I going to love my enemies?

On By In attitude, discouragement, Enemies, humility, judgingLeave a comment

The scripture for today, May 25 (5/25), is Galatians 5:25f as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

05-Joseph-KindleThumbnail“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”

When someone is better than you in doing something, do you pick fights with them as punishment, or spread gossip about them in order to get others to quit respecting them?

Perhaps you don’t do this all the time. But what about times when there is something you feel you are really good at, but another person not as talented gets the honor? That’s when it’s hard to “keep in step with the Spirit.”

Whenever you envy someone, deep down you consider that person your enemy. Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:44-45a).

To many, loving our enemy is the most difficult command in the Bible. Perhaps one way to love your “enemy” is to realize that Jesus loved his enemies. Every time you sin, you become one of his enemies. But Jesus keeps right on loving you, even when you don’t want to stop doing whatever you shouldn’t.

Jesus demonstrates the love of the Son of God. And here he says, if you love your enemies, you are demonstrating what the children of God do. And that is far more important than honor that goes to those you envy. Leaving behind conceit makes it much easier to love everyone.

Saturday 4/21 ~ Hating God

God eliminates jealousy this way: What you accomplish in public isn’t as important to him as what you accomplish in private. Jesus said those who receive acclamation by people already have their reward, so will not be acclaimed by God (Matthew 6:1-5, 16-18). As much as it goes against human nature, prefer to do your good deeds in private, and God will reward you openly.

Scripture for Sunday, April 30 (4/30)

The scripture for today, April 30 (4/30), is Ephesians 4:30f as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

0-Mefiboset-KINDLE Medium“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.”

Do we think that God has no choice but to let us into heaven because we do not steal, cheat or murder? Think again.

There’s more to it than that; it’s called attitude. Are we bitter about anything? Do we have a problem with bitterness, rage or anger? Do we enjoy a good mental or physical brawl? Do we slander people who have done us wrong? Do we harbor grudges year after year?

The average person does not have trouble with bad actions. The big problem is with bad attitudes–Satan’s attitudes. Let go of them. God will take care of the problems. Let go of those you consider your enemies and wish for them a better life. God will deal with them. Let go of what could have been but never happened. God has something better for you.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Do not grieve yourself. Live in sweet peace. Gain heaven.

Scripture for Tuesday, December 20 (12/20

On By Inspirations By KatherynIn Daily, forgiveness, good works, healing, Inspirational, judgingLeave a comment

The scripture for today, December 20, is 2nd Corinthians 12:20b as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

0-cover-kindle-new-medium“…. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.”

It can happen among well-meaning people trying to accomplish the same good work but from a different angle. Do we insist our way is the best way, and people will be lost if the committee/congregation doesn’t do things our way? Do we then get hurt and think (or say) everyone else doesn’t love the lost like we do? Then are we tempted to just drop out?

A good test when personalities clash is to ask ourselves, “Would this congregation survive without me?” Of course, it would. It did before we came and would after.

A good solution: If our heart is set on a certain good work, but no one else’s heart is, do what we can alone. We don’t need a committee to follow our heart.

Let us prefer one another, honor one another, and love one another. We are family ~ God’s family.
