#Exodus 12:31-38

Jesus Delivers Us From Slavery

Exodus 12:31 He called for Moshe and Aharon by night, and said, "Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Yisra'el; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said! 32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!" 33 The Mitzrim were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men." 34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders. 35 The children of Yisra'el did according to the word of Moshe; and they asked of the Mitzrim jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing. 36 The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitzrim, so that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the Mitzrim. 37 The children of Yisra'el journeyed from Ra`meses to Sukkot, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children. 38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much cattle.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all we who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him through immersion to death, that just like Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him; 9 knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him! 10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. 11 Thus also consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. 12 Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace. — Exodus 12:31-38 and Romans 6:1-14 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version Bible is in the public domain.

The Three Angels Messages Lesson 02: No Sympathy for the Devil

Revelation 14:8 - And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”

The second angel’s message seems very complicated at first.  It definitely deals with a lot of symbols.  In order to understand this Bible verse, let’s take a closer look at the following keywords:

Babylon

Fallen

Wine

Wrath

Fornication

Let’s read together Genesis 9:7-17; Genesis 10:10; Genesis 11:1-4; Isaiah 14:13-14; and Daniel 1:2.

If we are to talk about Babylon, we need to also discuss Babel. Both kingdoms were founded in the land of Shinar.  Babel can be considered the archetype for all the worldly kingdoms that followed it.

The story of the Tower of Babel is one of the most famous stories in the Bible.  Have you ever considered the builders’ motivations for building the tower in the first place?

 The builders did not trust God’s promise to never destroy the world again with a flood.  They wanted to survive another flood on their own power. 

The builders also did not want to follow God’s command to be fruitful and multiply across the earth.  Rather, they wanted to build a tower whose “top is in the heavens”  and make a name for themselves.  The builders seem to be motivated by pride and perhaps to even take the worship of God for themselves.

Let’s read together Exodus 20:2-6; 1 Chronicles 9:1; Jeremiah 16:18; Jeremiah 50:38; and Daniel 3:1-7.

The story of Daniel’s three friends and the fiery furnace is another well-known Bible story.  Have you considered what was Nebuchadnezzar’s motivation for setting up the golden image in the first place?  He wanted everyone in his empire to acknowledge Babylon as supreme, even over any god his subjects might be worshiping.  If anyone refused to bow before Nebuchadnezzar’s golden idol, they were to be killed by being tossed into a fiery furnace. 

Nebuchadnezzar had essentially set up a false religious system of worship enforced by civil authority.   This system forced people to choose between dying for their religious faith or to compromise that faith in order to live.

Let’s read together 2 Samuel 1:27; Isaiah 21:9; Jeremiah 51:8-9, 47; Daniel 5:25-30; and Revelation 18:2.

“Babylon is fallen, is fallen.”  God ultimately judged Babylon for its idolatry and persecution of God’s people.  Babylon was conquered by the Medo-Persians in 539 BC.

Let’s read together Proverbs 20:1; 23:29-35; 31:3-5; and Jeremiah 51:7.

Alcoholic wine in the Bible is always viewed in a negative light.  Alcoholic wine clouds and even perverts judgment.   Note that the Bible does talk about unfermented non-alcoholic wine more positively, but that is a Bible study for another time.

Let’s read Psalm 75:8; Jeremiah 23:15; and Hosea 4:11-12

Prophetically speaking, wine also represents God’s judgment against wickedness and  idolatry.  You definitely do not want to drink this wine!

Let’s read together Exodus 15:6-7; 32:9-12; Numbers 11:33; 16:46; Deuteronomy 9:7-8; 2 Kings 22:13-17; Ezra 5:12; Jeremiah 44:7-9; and Romans 1:18.

What is wrath?  The Merriam-Webster Dictionary offers two definitions that are relevant to our Bible study today.  Wrath can be defined as a “strong vengeful anger or indignation (anger aroused by something unjust, unworthy, or mean).”  Wrath can also be defined as “retributory punishment for an offense or a crime; divine punishment.”

God’s wrath is His response to sin.  In the Old Testament, God’s wrath consumed the Egyptian army chasing the children of Israel.  God’s wrath was also aroused when the children of Israel committed sins or fell into idolatry.  God’s wrath led to the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity.

Let’s read together Psalm 21:8-9; Zephaniah 1:1-18; Matthew 3:7; Luke 3:7; Romans 2:5; Ephesians 5:6; and Colossians 3:6.

God’s wrath is also associated with judgment.  God’s wrath will be poured in full on the unrighteous at Judgment Day.

Let’s read together Numbers 16:46; 2 Chronicles 12:6-9; 32:25-26; Psalms 78:32-39: 85:2-4; and 106:23.

Despite what many people believe, God does not want to pour His wrath on people.  In the Old Testament, Aaron and Moses both interceded on behalf of the children of Israel to avert God’s wrath.  God is willing to spare sinners from His wrath when they humble themselves before Him.  Whether it was the people of Israel or a king like Hezekiah, God was willing to grant mercy to all who came to Him earnestly and asked forgiveness of their sins.

Let’s read together Isaiah 53:4-6, 10; John 3:16, 36; Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; and 1 John 4:10.

God has done everything He could to shield us from His wrath.  God loves us so much that He gave His only son Jesus to die for our sins.  Jesus is our ultimate intercessor.  We only have to confess and repent of our sins and call upon Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Let’s read together Ezekiel 23:16-18; Hosea 4:11-12; Isaiah 23:17; and  John 8:41.

What is fornication?  The Merriam-Webster Dictionary gives the definition as “sexual intercourse between two persons who are not married to each other.” 

The Bible likened God’s people (the church) to a woman (Jeremiah 6:2).  Paul the Apostle described the church as the bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:22-33).  Therefore, spiritual fornication would be the church embracing someone or something other than Christ.  In the Old Testament times, the people of Israel strayed from God and worshiped various idols and other false gods.

Let’s read together Matthew 24:24; John 4:24; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-23; Revelation 17:1-6; and Revelation 18:3, 9.

The book of the Bible describes a harlot woman who represents a false worship of Christ. This church outwardly seems Christian, but in actuality, it does not follow Jesus in spirit and truth.  Many people will be deceived and fall into Babylon.

Let’s read together Deuteronomy 31:19 and Revelation 18:1-8.

What does the second angel’s message mean?

All false systems of worship will be judged.  Salvation by works, the idea you can make it to heaven on your own merits, cannot save you.  Salvation in sin, the idea that once you are saved, you are always saved, will lead you to be lost.  All these forms of worship will lead you to Babylon.

Even if you are worshiping at the “right” church the “right” way, you can have Babylon in your heart.  If you harbor pride in your heart or you esteem anything in the world more than God, then you are in spiritual Babylon.

If you find yourself in Babylon, what are you to do?  God wants you to leave Babylon right now!  Jesus is calling you to worship Him in spirit and in truth.  He does not want you to face God’s wrath.  Repent and turn to Christ your Savior!

Friend, will you share the second angel’s message with others?

THURSDAY JUNE 30TH, 2011 (Rael's Exodus II: Indisen)

4:17 AM Good morning, journal! :D Donnie’s still asleep. I think I’ll take a morning walk.

4:32 AM Stuff on the walls. Not entirely sure what that is. Might be water?

4:35 AM ”INDISEN” It’s written on the wall. Looks like blood. o_o

4:36 AM There’s a lot of this blood trailing past “INDISEN” and going into this room. This is someone’s room, I know it. I don’t remember whose. I knocked.

4:37 AM Nobody’s answering. I’ll keep trying.

4:38 AM Okay, I’m openrevji0 hellooooo This is surprising. Oh god where did my emotions go. It’s, uh.. it’s the Innkeeper. She’s dead. Head decapitated, sliced clean off. I think the Masked Massacrer is on board the Exodus. I need to tell someone.

4:51 AM The bridge, found the bridge, telling Doctor Jackson.

4:55 AM God, there’s not really much we can do besides be prepared to kill anyone who attacks us. This is gonna be hell.

5:34 AM Sneaking back into bed.

9:09 AM You know what I really like, journal? Waking up to find Donnie cuddling me.

9:27 AM I wonder if there’s any breakfast today.

9:33 AM YES There is. :D Weetabix! :DD

9:38 AM MOTHERF oh “Lowest Point” has a really big drop, caught me off-guard. ..wait, “Lowest Point.” Why’s that playing? God, who cares, this song kicks ass.

9:44 AM DRAW A STAIRWAY FOR MY GOD TO SPITE THE SOFA OF MY FAITH

10:03 AM “I hope you folks enjoyed that little wake-up call there. Found it among Yates’ music. Specifically, we found a sheet of paper attached to this album, We Excavate, by Sunsetters. The paper said ‘Track 8.’ “Anyway, this is your captain speaking. Doctor Jackson did a fantastic job covering for me in the night shift, and now he’s gone to sleep. Now it’s my turn again. So, uh.. good morning! I hear chef Gusteau is serving some breakfast in the dining room this morning. “The skies look clear and red, the seas oddly still. We’re making great progress, record time so far. So.. welcome to day two of your voyage on the R.M.S Exodus. “What’s that? ……oh. I’ve just been informed that a miss Penelope Judge passed away last night. You may have known her as the innkeeper at the lovely seaside inn in Liverpool. I assure you, her passing away had nothing to do with Patrick Yates’ yesterday. “Anyway, these unexpected developments only strengthen the point of my advice for you ladies and gentlemen: stay alive. Fitzgerald out.” Interestingly enough, he’s right about the deaths being unrelated. I’m heading back to my room. Donnie’ll be wondering where I am.

10:31 AM I brought Donnie back some fruit. :D And some toast!

11:00 AM ..door. Donnie’s getting it. It’s a girl. Fifteen, I think. What was her name Quinn, Quinn Tickrand. She wants to hang out with us. Because we seem like cool people. And she feels unsafe. ..o_o Wait, what?

11:04 AM Quinn’s parents are missing. She says they were having an argument, a very nasty argument, and she left the room to get some fresh air but when she went back down they were gone and they haven’t come back. We said she could stay with us until they show up again. Which they will. They will.

11:11 AM I do wish they would show up.

12:34 PM ..Donnie heard a noise. Came from the hallway. Quinn says it’s probably her parents looking for her. I concur.

12:36 PM NO YOU FUCKER NO FUCKING NO FUCKING RAKE. Quinn’s dead. >___< The Rake’s run off again, back to its cargo hold. So this is how it’s gonna be, Rake. Picking us off one by one. Saving me for last, me, the White Jester you want. You bastard.

12:59 PM We’re telling the captain about this.

1:02 PM “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. If any of you know where Mister and Missus Samuel and Janet Tickrand are, please tell them to come up to the bridge. Once again, Samuel and Janet Tickrand, please come up to the bridge. As for the rest of you, stay alive. Fitzgerald out.”

1:05 PM Miss DeNumante came in. To the bridge. She says the Rake kidnapped her son, Brian. Carl says he’s had enough of the Rake’s shit. rwahshotgun, he’s got a shotgun. He told me to get my guitar thing and come with him. “We’re gonna open some fucking windows.”

1:34 PM Here we go. Carl Rackleberg and Jordan Dooling, shotgun and Tiger Stripes. Versus the Rake and the Rake’s claws. I am so excited and terrified at the same time.

1:47 PM We step into the cargo hold, and into the mouth of madness. It’s darker than a witch’s ass in here. It’s also colder than a rat’s tit. ..I think I got those backwards.

1:50 PM I hear something. It sounds like the pitter-patter of light footsteps. Not the Rake’s ferocious footsteps, either. Calculating footsteps. Carl has a flashlight, and he’s shining it around, but we can’t quite see anything. Or anyone.

1:51 PM ..THERE where’d it go I can hear it panting and snarling. Something is very wrong about this, though. The Rake’s been oddly quiet up until now.

1:52 PM THERE IT IS AGAIN FUCKER IT’S GOING FOR THE EXIT

1:53 PM Ran out to a hallway Hit a dead-end Time to eat guitar controller, Rake. Wait, I need a one-liner for this. And with this guitar, I shred the Rake a new asshole.

1:55 PM The Rake is dead. I’m not proud of that one-liner. That wasn’t very.. me, y’know? ..wait, where’s Carl? Did he not follow me?

2:00 PM Cargo hold. I don’t see anything at all here. ..flashlight beam! Flashoh

2:14 PM “Attention, ladies and gentlemen? This is your captain speaking. We have some good news and some bad news. “The good news is, that creature that was on board? It’s dead now! Never again will you have to worry about it. The bad news is, our loyal and competent engineer, Carl Rackleberg, has passed away. We all miss him deeply, and.. it’s like ev— “Really? Okay, we’ve got more news. Ms. Desmond has woken up from her comatose state. She’s apparently asking for a Rael. If you or anyone you know happens to know who she might be referring to, please let us know. “In the meantime, I highly recommend considering trying to stay alive. Fitzgerald out.”

3:38 PM I’m visiting Ms. Desmond. I’m gonna see her for myself. Doctor Johnson is here. Not Doctor Jackson, but Johnson.

3:39 PM Well hello, Ms. Desmond. ..who is staring at me. She said “Hello” back. Doctor Johnson is shocked. Ms. Desmond is definitely the old woman I’ve been seeing around. It’s really creepy, looking at her, and she’s in bed and not standing in the middle of a hallway. I asked how she’s feeling. “How are you feeling?” That’s what I got back. I said my name is Jordan. “Your name is Rael.” No, my name is Jordan. “You are Rael to us.” Who’s “us?” “I’m still figuring that one out.” Are you feeling alright, Ms. Desmond? “I’m not sure. I’m still getting used to these feelings.” You’ve been in a coma, Ms. Desmond. Do you remember anything? “I can remember all of my former life.. and a lot more. For instance, I am just a virus to her.” To who? “It has no name of her own.” What doesn’t? o_o “One of us called her the Epping Aquatarkus. Another one of us called her Salmacis. I don’t know what to call her.” But what is that? Who is that? ..no reply now.

3:57 PM That was weird. That’s an understatement. That was really weird. I gotta find Donnie; I want some hugs.

4:22 PM Donnie’s hugs always help greatly. :3

4:44 PM That was a gunshot.

4:50 PM Everyone’s gathered around this door. I take it the gunshot was from in here.

4:51 PM ..no. D: Miss DeNumante. There’s even a note. “They took my Brian away.” That’s all it says. .___.;;

5:20 PM We.. we’d actually killed the Rake, though. She didn’t have to do it. We were gonna find Brian. We were, we are. Goddamn. Everyone’s dying out there, and she chooses to.. bah. I dunno, journal. I find something depressing about it. And here I thought I was desensitized to people dying by now. I guess it’s cabin fever. Anxiety. I have a lot more time to think now. I don’t like having time to think. But with the Rake dead, we shouldn’t have to worry as much. Now we only have one serial killer on-board, picking us off one-by-one. Hey, it’s better than two.

6:00 PM Sausages for dinner today. Yum.

7:10 PM I’m sorry, journal. I’m just really.. bah. I’m tired, journal. I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.

9:50 PM door goddammit I’ll get it.

9:53 PM It was Mister Finch, like last night. He asked me about Ms. Desmond. I showed him my journal. He read it really fuckin’ fast. But maybe that was just me. Then he quietly said “Rapture.” I asked for clarification. “It’s really coming, Rael. It’s really coming.” Then he walked off.

9:55 PM Rapture is coming. Rapture. Is coming. No matter how many times I write it, it refuses to bring any clarity. It’s just three words, three context-less words, three meaningless words. ..three real words.

11:00 PM eighteen

(Attached: “ Salmacis doesn’t talk much about the past, preferring to discuss the present. Everything’s all logic and accuracy with her, too, which can make for some great conversations and some frustrating ones, depending on your mood. But somewhere in this library, I should have something to offer insight into her past. I should, but I don't. I’ve got information on everyone but her. It’s always here, always all around us, you can’t escape from her liquid mental clutch, yet you can also never learn about her. It always.. slips away, out of your grasp. I’ve lived a long time, a real long time, and I still have no idea where it came from. I think that’s her use of abstraction, her insistence on complexity. If you can create something that’s so complex and so filled with monotony and misdirection, you can scare everyone off. Everyone except those who have, themselves, mastered the art of depersonalization.”)

The Transfiguration

1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. 2 He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. 3 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.

4 Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”

6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid. 7 Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.” 8 Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.

9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”

10 His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things; 12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

14 When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.”

17 Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”

20 He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”

22 While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.”

They were exceedingly sorry.

24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?” 25 He said, “Yes.”

When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”

26 Peter said to him, “From strangers.”

Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt. 27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.” — Matthew 17 | World English Bible (WEB) The World English Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Exodus 30:13; Exodus 34:29; Exodus 38:26; Deuteronomy 32:5; Judges 13:20; Isaiah 19:14; Isaiah 42:1; Song of Solomon 6:10; Malachi 4:5; Matthew 3:1; Matthew 3:17; Matthew 4:24; Matthew 5:29-30; Matthew 8:4; Matthew 8:20; Matthew 8:26; Matthew 11:14; Matthew 13:31; Matthew 14:27; Matthew 16:21; Matthew 20:19; Matthew 22:19; Matthew 26:37; Mark 5:37; Mark 9:5; Mark 9:14; Mark 9:22; Mark 9:29; Mark 9:42-43; Luke 9:33; Luke 20:22; Acts 1:6; Acts 3:21; Revelation 1:17

FROM GALILEE TO GALILEE, THE GREAT LIGHT OF CHRIST’S RETURN, May 15, 2026

God clearly predicted that a great light would arise in Galilee, referring primarily to the revelation of His appointed time.

ISAIAH 9:1, 2

(1) …beyond Jordan, in GALILEE of the NATIONS.

(2) The people that walked in darkness have SEEN a GREAT LIGHT… upon them hath the LIGHT SHINED.

MATTHEW 4:12, 14-17, 23

(12) Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into GALILEE;

(14) That it might be FULFILLED which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

(15) The land of Zabulon… beyond Jordan, GALILEE of the GENTILES;

(16) The people which sat in darkness SAW GREAT LIGHT… and shadow of death LIGHT is SPRUNG UP.

(17) From that time Jesus began to preach… Repent: for the kingdom of HEAVEN is AT HAND.

(23) And Jesus went about all GALILEE… preaching the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM, and healing all manner of sickness…

Herewith, God portrays the disclosure of His great light in Galilee, which is the set time of His return, as His visitation upon His people.

LUKE 1:78, 79

(78) …whereby the DAYSPRING from on high hath VISITED US,

(79) To GIVE LIGHT to them that sit in darkness… to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Moreover, the set time of Christ’s visitation on His Second Advent, which has been withheld in the past (Acts 1:6-8), shall precisely be known by His people in these last days.

HOSEA 9:7 The days of VISITATION are come, the DAYS of RECOMPENCE are come; Israel SHALL KNOW IT…

Jerusalem and Mount of Olives in Galilee are two significant places in the scripture where Christ and His disciples frequently resort (John 8:1-2, 18:1-2). In addition, God’s people, who were being filled with the Holy Spirit during Pentecost, were identified as Galileans (Acts 2:6-8).

Christ had already told His disciples that after His resurrection, He will go to Galilee and there will He meet them (Matthew 26:32).

MATTHEW 28:7, 16

(7) …he is RISEN from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into GALILEE… lo, I have told you.

(16) Then the eleven disciples went away into GALILEE, into a MOUNTAIN where Jesus had APPOINTED them.

Thereby, when Christ was risen from the dead, He went to Galilee, the place where He had before appointed, and preached many infallible proofs pertaining to His kingdom (Acts 1:3-4).

ACTS 13:30, 31

(30) But God raised him from the dead:

(31) And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from GALILEE to JERUSALEM…

LUKE 24:49, 51-52

(49) …I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but TARRY ye in the city of JERUSALEM…

(51) …while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and CARRIED UP into HEAVEN.

(52) And they worshipped him, and returned to JERUSALEM…

Furthermore, Christ had declared unto His disciples in the past that the revelation of His appointed time will be tarried, for He will not come during their time (Habakkuk 2:3-4, Hebrews 10:37-38).

However, in these last days, the set time of Christ’s return will never be tarried or delayed (Isaiah 46:10, 13), for it is fixed beyond all change.

Hereupon, God bequeathed His disciples, as He was about to ascend on the Mount of Olives, in Galilee, that His Second Advent would be in like manner, which is on a Sabbath day.

ACTS 1:11-12

(11) …this same Jesus… shall so COME IN LIKE MANNER as ye have seen him GO INTO HEAVEN.

(12) Then returned they unto JERUSALEM from the MOUNT called OLIVET… a SABBATH DAY'S JOURNEY.

God placed the exact year of His return in the seventh day Sabbath, the great light that God declared upon the mount in Galilee, which was being revealed in our time.

EXODUS 20:8-11

6 – SIX days (verse 9), 7 – SEVENTH day (verse 10), 13 – SIX days, SEVENTH day (verse 11)

6 + 7 + 13 = 26

ACTS 1:11, 12

2,000 – SABBATH DAY’S journey (Joshua 3:3-4, Numbers 35:5, Exodus 16:29)

2,000 + 26 = 2026

Thus, Christ’s ministry on earth began in Galilee and has ended in Galilee as well, during which He typifies His Second Coming, for He will descend above the Mount of Olives when He returns.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

THE ANOINTED AND GRACED GIVER!

THE ANOINTED AND GRACED GIVER

2 Corinthians 8:1-14

 

Some people are naturally givers, anointed and graced to give of themselves, their time, substance, and anything they can. They are the first to respond to a need and contribute to a cause; nothing is too big or small for them to give. Acts 20:35 says there is more blessing in giving than in receiving! Giving is a gift.

Do you have the spiritual gift of giving? Giving often appears to be sharing possessions, wealth, income, and the like. More importantly, giving is sharing oneself. Giving originated in the heart of a giving God, a God who pours forth more blessings on His people than we can ever deserve or expect. The gift of life, the gift of love, the gift of salvation, the gift of eternity in heaven—all of these are priceless.

If you are a giver, you have the Spirit of Giving, one of the spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12, with the capacity and desire to serve God by giving of your material resources, far beyond the tithe, to further the work of God. A giver is someone who meets the financial needs of fellow Christians, friends, families, and church members.

Giving should be done with a godly motive and not with the wrong motive of giving to get (e.g., trying to intimidate God into returning your monetary gift with more). We are not encouraged to give up grocery money, bill money, or essential reserves. Our motives for giving should always be to further the work of God and not to “show off.”

There must be a distinction between the gift of giving and the grace of giving. First, realize that giving is the responsibility of everyone, especially Christians. Although the giving principle in Luke 6:38 is for everyone, only those anointed and graced to give go above and beyond because necessity is laid on them by the Lord to give. This is the grace of giving—giving from a heart of love, allowing God to furnish the returns when we have given from a desire to help others and to further His work.

Many Christians, in sheer desperation, will give all they have, trying to bail themselves out of a jam, only to see their efforts fail. You can’t give your way out of a financial jam, nor can you give your way to prosperity with that end as a motive. It’s like borrowing to get out of debt.

Your giving must be an offering from a willing heart: a “want to” heart, as a divine gift offered to God in worship and a seed sown for a specific purpose of celebrating God’s grace and goodness according to Exodus 25:1-3.

James 1:17 says everything we have comes from God; it’s His to command what, who, how, and even when to give. Don’t close your eyes to a need; the need came your way purposely according to Philippians 2:4 and Hebrews 13:16.

Our giving shouldn’t be grudging but a necessity, for the love of God, and through pity for the poor. Giving should be done in the spirit of duty, but only according to your ability, resources, and willingness, as stated in 1 Corinthians 9:7.

God is the greatest giver. He gives us all things, and without Him, we are and have nothing. Our giving is a form of worship to God, even through generations, as seen in Hebrews 7:4.

When we give, we express our love for God and our neighbours, as stated in Mark 12:30-31. The gift of giving is mostly the acknowledgment that the Lord gives us seed to sow and bread to eat, as stated in 2 Corinthians 9:10, with the understanding that all we have comes from Him and we are just giving back to Him, as stated in 2 Chronicles 29:14.

We offer ourselves as a living sacrifice daily to the Lord when we give unreservedly to the kingdom agenda and meet the needs of those around us, even above any material wealth. If you’re anointed and graced with the gift of giving, give!

PRAYER: Lord, I thank you for all you’ve given me. Help me to give when prompted, knowing that the more I give, the more I receive in spiritual and eternal rewards. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Shalom

"The Mistake by the Lake." From Mark 3: 31-35.

Verbs and their tenses are also strong determinants iHebrew scripture. Observe:

Going: this means one lacks and objective, and one will wander. To leave home is one thing to go from home is another:

The verb תעה (ta'a) means to wander about and is used to describe the unsteady gait of drunkards (Job 12:25, Isaiah 28:7), of sheep or cattle without a herder (Exodus 23:4, Jeremiah 50:6), of homeless people (Genesis 21:14), and of foolish people (Ezekiel 44:10). It marks a lack of direction or objective and emphasizes the uselessness of the effort of going somewhere while in fact one is going nowhere at all. The noun תועה (to'a) means a wandering or straying from a certain path; a confusion or an error (Isaiah 32:6 and Nehemiah 4:2 only).

The Number is 113, eag, "carried away."

"The verb αγω (ago) means to guide or lead, and comes with an enormous array of derivations. Among these, perhaps most notably, are the noun αγωγη (agoge), literally meaning a carrying away or a leading (hence English words like pedagogue and demagogue); the adjective αξιος (axios), meaning guiding in the sense of being a standard or norm (hence the English word axiom); the noun στρατεγος (strategos), meaning army-leader (hence our English word "strategy"), and the noun συναγωγη (sunagoge), synagogue, a place for joint leadership (i.e. a senate, the polar opposite of tyranny).

The noun αγελη (agele) means herd, and particularly a herd that's forcibly driven (specifically a herd of pigs, in contrast to a flock of sheep, which is not driven from behind but guided from up front). This word may have helped the formation of the Latin word aquila, eagle, also since the eagle standard replaced the fascis."

Coming:

The verb בוא (bo') is the fourth most frequently occurring verb in the Bible, and it means to come.

In English the verbs "to come" and "to go" describe an equal motion and merely differ in regard to the perspective of the observer (an item can be "going" to one observer while at the same time "coming" to another), but in Hebrew there is an additional difference. In Hebrew a coming describes a motion from a situation of dispersion towards one, usually specified focal point, which could be a place, person or situation.

This means that in Hebrew a coming describes a motion which is related to gathering (gathering harvest; Leviticus 25:22). Going, on the other hand (יצא, yasa') describes a motion away from a focal point and towards dispersal.

Our verb can often be translated as to come (Genesis 16:8, 1 Samuel 20:1, Nehemiah 6:17), but sometimes more fitting English would be: to go, arrive or enter (Genesis 6:18, Exodus 28:29, Jonah 1:3). It's used to describe dying (a "coming" to the fathers; Genesis 15:5, 1 Kings 13:22), and engaging in coitus (a coming into or entering one's wife; Deuteronomy 22:13, which obviously also indicates exclusivity) or entering into a specific relation or modus operandi; to become (come into blood-guiltiness, 1 Samuel 25:26; come into ignorance, Isaiah 60:20; come under siege, 2 Kings 24:10). It's used to describe the setting of the sun (Genesis 15:12), as opposed to its rising (יצא, yasa'; going out), or to specify something/someone per definition or name (1 Chronicles 4:38).

Our verb expressed in grammatical constructions that convey a causing, and which create the meaning of "to cause to come" may often be translated with to lead, to send or to bring (Genesis 6:19, Numbers 27:17, 1 Kings 17:6).

Our verb frequently occurs with the prefix ל (le), meaning to, towards, or in order to. The compound לבוא (lebo') occurs six times in the Book of Genesis alone: denoting an approaching of some place (Genesis 12:11), a sunset in progress (Genesis 15:12), having the purpose of going into (a woman, Genesis 19:31; a place, Genesis 31:18), having to traverse before arriving (Genesis 35:16), so that came true (Joseph's predictions; Genesis 41:54).

Note that our verb frequently occurs in the compressed form בא (b'; Genesis 6:13, 7:1, 7:13 and so on), including the compound with the prefix ל (le): לבא (lebo; Genesis 48:7, which is also accidentally spelled the same as the root לבא, lb').

Derivations of our verb are:

The feminine noun באה (bi'a), meaning entrance or entry (Ezekiel 8:5 only).

The masculine noun מבוא (mabo'), denoting the act of entering (2 Samuel 3:25, Ezekiel 26:10), or the place where the verb is performed, namely an entrance (Judges 1:24, 2 Kings 11:16, Jeremiah 38:14), or specifically the setting of the sun (Psalm 104:19), synonymous with the west (Deuteronomy 11:30, Joshua 1:4).

The feminine noun תבואה (tebu'a), denoting the items that undergo the verb, and more specifically: a field's produce to be harvested (Exodus 23:10, Leviticus 25:12, 2 Kings 8:6), and secondarily: income or revenue (Job 31:12, Proverbs 10:16, Jeremiah 2:3).

The Number is 139, אגט‎‎, agate, "To love the average person. A gravity for other, to love in a row, to concentrate the energy of entire societies."

From Agape + nata.

"The familiar noun αγαπη (agape) is commonly translated with "love" but it's not that simple, or perhaps simpler than that. Agape does not describe a feeling, and certainly not a mushy feeling. Instead it describes a natural force that is felt in some way or form by every entity in the universe from atoms up to entire societies. Einstein once quipped that gravity is not responsible for people falling in love, but it appears that it might indeed.

The complicated verb נטה (nata) is variably translated as to spread or stretch out (a tent, Genesis 12:8; an expanse, Ezekiel 1:22), extend (hands, Exodus 9:22; a spear, Joshua 8:18; a measuring line, 2 Kings 21:13), incline or bend (a wadi, Numbers 21:15; a donkey from its path, Numbers 22:23; human followers, 1 Kings 2:28, one's heart, Psalm 119:112) — and all these meanings are summarized by to leverage, with the understanding that a lever is used to manipulate one's environment beyond one's natural abilities, and that a lever multiplies force but diminishes range, or extends range but loses force.

The verb stems from a time when the average person had very little intuitive understanding of mechanics, and any mechanical device that went beyond a stick and a single pulley seemed magical.

But all technology is in fact leverage, and all engineers ponder the challenge of how to concentrate energy (the hotter the fire, the purer the metals, the stronger the tools and the stronger the people; hence texts like Deuteronomy 4:24, Daniel 3:19, Hebrews 12:29), and how to leverage these concentrations of energy."

The Gospel Torah says His mother and brothers arrived. Spiritual characters in the Torah and also the Gospels are like glueballs, they are meant to adhere and modify the patterns of thinking originating in the central hive or burning bush, call the mind whatever you want. In the Gospels, Jesus has a mother named Mary which means "the rebellion, the need to change."

"Noun מרי (meri) means rebellion. The verb מור (mor) means to change. Perhaps the connection between the previous is coincidental but perhaps these words are indeed linked, as change is often reaction to bitterness or opposition."

The name Mary and Marduk are related. Jesus apparently also had brothers.

Mothers =The Hebrew word for mother is אם ('em) and the word for tribe or people is the closely related אמה ('umma). The Hebrew word for son is בן (ben), whereas the verb בנה (bana), means to build and אבן ('eben) means stone. The word בת (bat) means daughter, whereas the word בית (bayit) means house. The Greek word for house is οικος (oikos), from which comes our word "economy."

The Number is 273, בז‎ג‎ in zg, אין זוג, "there is no pair, no substitute for humanity." We are not supposed to have split personalities, one a dirty animal and the other a clean one. We are supposed to be one entire thinking, properly behaved human being.

Brothers= are the ways we identify with other in the building of the Self.

The noun אחוה ('ahawa), meaning brotherhood. Note that this noun is spelled identical to and pronounced nearly the same as the noun אחוה ('ahwah), meaning declaration, from the verb חוה (hawa II) meaning to show, tell, make known.

The noun אחות ('ahot), meaning sister.

The word אח ('ah) meaning brother is used, obviously, to indicate a male child of one's parents, or one's mother, other than oneself. But it's also used to indicate "kinship" with the following:

A more distant relative. In Genesis 13:8 Abraham declares himself and his nephew Lot to be brothers, and in Genesis 29:13-15 Laban and Jacob to the same.

An even more distant relative. In Numbers 16:10 Moses tells Korah that all the sons of Levi are brothers. In Exodus 2:11, all Israelites are called brothers. Leviticus 19:17 equates countrymen with brothers.

Related countries: Israel and Judah (2 Samuel 19:42), Israel and Edom (Numbers 20:14).

A friend (2 Samuel 1:26, 1 Kings 19:13), or an ally (Amos 1:9).

A figure of resemblance: brother of the jackals (Job 30:29), brother of destruction (Proverbs 18:9).

In the phrase איש אחיו ('ys 'hyw), literally meaning a man's brother (Genesis 9:5, Joshua 2:8).

The word אח ('ah) often occurs in names with a yod-extension: אחי ('ahi), may mean my brother, brother(s) of or brotherly."

The Number is 325, שךה, "up, active transitioning, operative, spry, transposing." ‎

So if we combine all of this to explain what happened after Jesus dismissed the Unholy Spirit of government corruption from the people, it says "The rebellion began when the people began transitioning to an active state."

Outside and Inside are also important discriminators:

Outside: scholars insist that the sole occurrence of the word חיץ (hayis) comes from the whole other root חוץ (hws). It means party-wall, which is a thin wall that separate two groups of people and is used only once: in Ezekiel 13:10.

Inside: to bend in, to contain, to envelope. If you're inside in Hebrew, you've actually been extracted out.

"The verb כפף (kapap) means to bend, bend over or be curved, or so dictionaries agree. Here at Abarim Publications we would suggest that our verb additionally means to envelop or contain, with the specific understanding that contents are contained to be extracted (rather than stored indefinitely). Our verb refers to the application of energy (pressure or heat) upon the whole surface of a small and round thing that was designed to contain something, so that whatever exists inside the thing comes out of it. This verb isn't used as such, but in theory it could have been applied to anything from squeezing a lemon in one's hand, to the extraction of iron from a chunk of ore."

About this the Gospel of Saint Mark contributes the following:

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 31-32: His mother and brothers arrived. The Number is יאאזא‎‎, "they were befitting of the Seventy." (hopefully we know who these are).

From Ekev: "Tablets, like the First Ones."

10 "Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the Lord listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you. 11 “Go,” the Lord said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

Fear the Lord

12 "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

14 To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it. 15 Yet the Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today. 16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. 18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. 19 And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. 20 Fear the Lord your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. 21 He is the one you praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. 22 Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky."

Seventy= 1340, יגם‎, "the Lake."

v. 33: “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.The Number is 2760, בזס‎ ‎ ‎, zess, "but only persons of clear minds, with clear skies."

"The adjective: διοπετης (diopetes), which combines διος (dios) and either the verb πετομαι (petomai), meaning to employ wings (to fly and thus see very far, or to cover and thus protect), or the verb πιπτω (pipto), meaning to fall. It denotes something both divine and falling or having fallen, and appears to have been used for sacred objects that apparently had come falling out of the sky.

Apparently, the link between the divine and the act of falling was not uncommon in the old world: the familiar name YHWH also combines these two. Our adjective is used only once in the New Testament, namely in Acts 19:35, which reads: "the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the [or: that being the] διοπετης (diopetes)." Also note the obvious similarities with the qualities of both Jesus (Colossians 1:15, John 3:13 and 6:38), satan (Luke 10:18, Revelation 12:9) and Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12).

Together with the familiar prefix ευ (eu), meaning good: the noun ευδια (eudia), meaning good day, as descriptive of fair and calm weather or a clear sky (Matthew 16:2 only). This noun may have inspired the verb ευδω (heudo), to sleep."

v. 34-35: "Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”= only the good need apply.

The Number is 7970, ע‎טע, "A mistake."

=

The crowd tried to turn Jesus into a Golden Calf. They, like their mentor, Saul of Tarsus wanted to follow the money. Jesus told them no.

They were all foreigners, very much welcome under other circumstances, but they did not want to enter the circle, the Lake and learn the Torah. So they remained unclean spirits and Jesus did not minister unto them.
