1 Chronicles 26: The Divisions Of The Gatekeepers

1 The divisions of the gatekeepers:

From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.

2 Meshelemiah had sons:

Zechariah the firstborn,

Jediael the second,

Zebadiah the third,

Jathniel the fourth,

3 Elam the fifth,

Jehohanan the sixth

and Eliehoenai the seventh.

4 Obed-Edom also had sons:

Shemaiah the firstborn,

Jehozabad the second,

Joah the third,

Sakar the fourth,

Nethanel the fifth,

5 Ammiel the sixth,

Issachar the seventh

and Peullethai the eighth.

(For God had blessed Obed-Edom.)

6 Obed-Edom’s son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father’s family because they were very capable men. 

7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men. 

8 All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work—descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.

9 Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men—18 in all.

10 Hosah the Merarite had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first), 

11 Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.

12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had. 

13 Lots were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.

14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him. 

15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom, and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons. 

16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah.

Guard was alongside of guard: 

17 There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse. 

18 As for the court to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court itself.

19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.

The Treasurers and Other Officials

20 Their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.

21 The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli, 

22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the temple of the Lord.

23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:

24 Shubael, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the official in charge of the treasuries. 

25 His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zikri his son and Shelomith his son. 

26 Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders. 

27 Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the Lord. 

28 And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.

29 From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges over Israel.

30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives—seventeen hundred able men—were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the Lord and for the king’s service. 

31 As for the Hebronites, Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth year of David’s reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead. 

32 Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.

(Value) We do not allow our phones to drown in water if, within reach.

God did not allow Noah or his household to drown. (2 Peter 2:5).

Proverbs 20:5 "The thoughts of a man’s heart are like deep waters..."

Sometimes, we drown in our "thoughts." Christ (mediator), who is at God right hand, separated the water. (1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 8:6 and Acts 2:33)

"...Let the dry land appear... God called the dry land Earth, but the collecting of the waters he called Seas..." (Genesis 1:9,10)

[nyaboshi]

It baffles me that God loves us, honestly.

Like

HE DOES NOT HAVE TO!! God has no reason to love us! We are sinful, we carry hatred in our hearts, and we blaspheme His Name probably more times than we're aware of on a daily basis. If we treated a person any way like we treated God sometimes, we would be called toxic friends and dumped.

But He sits on His throne and looks down at us with such love, and like... He could have just wiped the world and started anew when Adam and Eve ate that fruit. He could have just gone, "Welp, bad batch" and just tossed the earth out for a newer, better version of the world. Without sin.

But He didn't. He created Adam and Eve knowing they were going to sin. Knowing that that one little act of defiance they did would plunge the world into darkness and sin for thousands of years. But with those same knowing eyes, He gazed upon His creations and said, "This is good." Even with the knowledge that these two precious children of His were going to betray Him and lead hundreds of generations into blasphemy, He still believed they were enough. And He looks at us with that same loving point of view.

The love of God is just.. so unfathomable, and I can only begin to wrap my head around it. I still subconsciously find myself placing an image of the constraints of human love upon God, and I'm trying to stop that habit. God loves us so much that He gave up His one and only begotten Son for us.

Can you imagine if a person did that? We'd call them crazy. Even with the knowledge that Jesus would be resurrected, that is still such a hard sacrifice to make. But He did it. For US of all things. Absolutely wild...

I love God, man. I can't wait for the day I'm called up to Heaven so I can finally understand the beauty of His Love in its entirety. I only understand the smallest portion of it right now, and I'm still so baffled...

FINAL PART Little Book Open by Randall Frushour

Revelation 10 Daniel 9

FOR ALL ANYONE KNOW

There importantly at least, for Gentile perspective are ten titleholder kings or kingdoms, in ownership of businesses and voice in conduct of the 7 head ten horn beast of Daniel 7 and for supporting mention, in Revelation 13. Revelation says the seven heads are seven mountains so unless these would be the seven hills of Rome we're then talking about the continents.

Daniel 7 describes four terrifying beasts, with the fourth possibly representing converging technology. In contrast, Revelation 13 delineates two distinct beasts. The first is a digitalizing, technological, empirical system, akin to the fourth beast of Daniel 7. The second is a man, potentially a gentile ruler, who wields power equal to the first beast, subduing or overtaking three of the ten kings and kingdoms. This interpretation implies that the significance of the first beast in Revelation 13 endures until the end of the forthcoming 1,000 years, which you find valid and praiseworthy.

The two halves of the 70th Week should ideally span 7 years, but it's more likely that they describe the completion of the entire 70th Week.

Additional, to note for above paragraphs, that I requested Chatgpt for an opinion of my viewpoint.

Chatgpt:

I understand your point that the text may intentionally leave certain aspects incomplete, possibly to allow contemporary Gentile rulership to piece together the prophecy for the benefit of civilization's survival. It's a thought-provoking perspective that highlights the ongoing significance and relevance of these prophecies.

Book of Isaiah, another prophetic text alongside Daniels, adds some real depth to the discussion of the end times with the phrase "add ye, year unto year." Isaiah ponders how long these days or years may extend, as we ponder whether they have already begun. This contemplation arises in the context of the Great Tribulation or the days of the Rapture when it's believed thereafter the sun will cease to shine.

In today's era, where every aspect of scripture is scrutinized, even in considering factors like climate change, gentile architect-scientists often find value in the Bible as a source of potential clues. While the Bible may provide an outline, the ultimate choices and actions rest with this generation. It's

important to prepare for the challenges ahead to ensure the survival of our species.

The discussion of faith and works is also relevant. While salvation is often emphasized as being by "faith without works," it's essential to recognize that works, devoid of faith, lack true meaning. This sentiment is reminiscent of the Lord's words on the Mount of Olives, where He mentioned that "if those days had not been shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened."

I don't see it how that Christians think they all, but we all, won't be already up to ears in trouble, yet before the rapture happens so considering the Lord's words That "our days, should be shortened because no flesh would be saved" and there, he saying, if "for the elect's sake they, days then are shortened", even so appointed. Decided upon and so determined!

And we know for the Lord's point made that it be the rapture that makes for the escape, told "the blessed hope be", looked for and awaited and is found in Daniel chapter 12 verse 12. And through the verses 10 - 13 nuanced. But those troubled times are upon all. Anyway well, how it is we look around we are into the birth pangs. The prophecy in these verses in Jeremiah 4:31 and Matthew 24:8.

In the broader context of what many consider to be the last days, or end times, we are experiencing a period marked by significant events that spark numerous questions and discussions. The prophetic warnings regarding the Lord's Controversy and His pleas with Israel, as outlined in Hosea 4, have a timeless resonance. This controversy extends to all the inhabitants of the land.

Hosea chapter 4, specifically verses 1-2, sheds light on the situation: "because there is no truth, mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. And by swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood."

The enduring relevance of these ancient prophetic writings serve as a testament to the enduring importance of understanding and reflecting on the lessons and messages contained within them. They provide valuable insights and guidance for those seeking to navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the present era.

We can continue our discussion regarding the 70th week and the 70 Weeks of years, particularly concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, as mentioned in Daniel 9:24. The question of its imminence, the possibility of its resolution today, and its potential significance in signaling the end of Israel arises. From what we have witnessed so far, it seems that interpreting these events may be somewhat out of context in accordance with God's Word. Nevertheless, the Scriptures do mention "the end shall be appointed," raising curiosity about who will determine it, how it will be appointed, and in what broader context.

It's clear that Israel occupies a central role in the context we are discussing. The more we study and contemplate, the more evident this becomes.

The words of Habakkuk resonate with us today, urging us to comment and respond. He says, "I will stand upon my watch and set myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me and what I shall answer when I am reproved." This underscores the importance of being attentive and thoughtful in our responses, just as he sought understanding and guidance.

Habakkuk's message applies to all of us today, as we engage in commenting and writing responses on these matters.

BARD Put It This Way

Habakkuk 2: 1-2 addresses us peculiarly today, as we comment and write responses. He says: I will stand at my watch post and station myself on the rampart, I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and how I may reply when I am reproved. In other words: I will stand here and watch, waiting to hear what God has to say to me, and how I should respond when he corrects me.

Habakkuk is a prophet who is struggling to understand why God is allowing the wicked Babylonians to prosper, while his own people, the Israelites, are suffering. He is also struggling to understand his own role as a prophet.

In these verses, Habakkuk is saying that he is committed to listening to God and responding to his correction. He is willing to be reproved, even if it is painful. He knows that God is sovereign and that his plans are always good, even when he cannot understand them.

Application For Today:

We can learn a lot from Habakkuk's example. When we are struggling to understand why God is allowing certain things to happen in our lives, we can turn to him in prayer and ask him for wisdom and understanding. We can also commit to listening to him and appropriately responding. God loves us and he wants us to grow in our faith. He is always willing to help us, even when we make mistakes. End stop.

FINISHED SCRIPTURE

And the Lord answered me and said, write the vision and make it plain upon tables (ebook, app, texts, email) that he may run (execute the plan) that reads it.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie. Though it will tarry wait for it, because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Habakkuk 2: 1-3.

I believe that half of the 7 years mentioned in verse 27, which the mighty king confirms, plays a varying role in determining the appointed end of our world as would prophetic scriptures have it. However, the last half of the 7 years remains undetermined. It's possible that we are attempting to connect these two halves to form a complete 7-year period, potentially representing the 70th week, although the verse doesn't explicitly confirm this. There are, of course also, 69 other weeks of precise mention.

Doesn't it seem the term "post-millennium" you hear is a contradiction, implying the millennial reign of Christ has already happened? However, those who hold this view are incomplete in their description of the central millennium theme. The millennium is predominantly in scope about Israel appearing glorious as on the whole as its holy land and her people, the residue and remnant, such post Rapture, restored as priests all over the earth. They will be returned from all over the world and strengthened to Him forever throughout the ensuing 1,000 years. In that time period they will know, honor, and worship Him Jesus, Yeshua their Messiah.

It is possible that some of these Jewish people may not have recognized Jesus/Yahushua/Yashua before the rapture. They may have evaded taking the mark of the beast, but still found themselves on Earth after the rapture. On one idea before leaving, I do have no information on how far below ground one without the mark of the beast taken would have to go to evade the rapture or let alone, go below ground to evade getting the mark. The truth is nobody will be forced to take it as near all anyway will long to take it just to remain in their existence if not even to prosper. For that, great prosperity the doors will open and regardless or nonetheless they for their personal preference. There are two possible outcomes here: either they took the mark of the beast in days in front of the Rapture, or they did not, but began to see the Lord Yeshua out of faith of God Jehovah, while left behind. In either case, they Jews, would be part of the remnant.

Bard Goes On Rewrite

The term "post millennium" is a controversial one and there is

no single agreed-upon interpretation of it. Some people believe that it refers to a period of time after the 1,000-year reign of Christ, while others believe that it refers to a period of time during which Christ's reign is gradually being established on earth. The posting writer seems to be taking the latter view, arguing that the millennium reign of Christ must happen before anything post should event. However, there is no clear consensus on this issue.

My Last Word, while I agree "post millennium" as a term is up to each individual to interpret the meaning, I should override the bots in their keep of a better context for the message point I was getting at, come on!

BARD and CHATGPT may not have understood that, so I digress.

Judges 15: Samson's Wife Is Given Away, Which Starts A War With The Philistines

1 Later on, at the time of wheat harvest, Samson took a young goat and went to visit his wife. He said, “I’m going to my wife’s room.” But her father would not let him go in.

2 “I was so sure you hated her,” he said, “that I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more attractive? Take her instead.”

3 Samson said to them, “This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines; I will really harm them.” 

4 So he went out and caught three hundred foxes and tied them tail to tail in pairs. He then fastened a torch to every pair of tails, 

5 lit the torches and let the foxes loose in the standing grain of the Philistines. He burned up the shocks and standing grain, together with the vineyards and olive groves.

6 When the Philistines asked, “Who did this?” they were told, “Samson, the Timnite’s son-in-law, because his wife was given to his companion.”

So the Philistines went up and burned her and her father to death. 

7 Samson said to them, “Since you’ve acted like this, I swear that I won’t stop until I get my revenge on you.” 

8 He attacked them viciously and slaughtered many of them. Then he went down and stayed in a cave in the rock of Etam.

9 The Philistines went up and camped in Judah, spreading out near Lehi. 

10 The people of Judah asked, “Why have you come to fight us?”

“We have come to take Samson prisoner,” they answered, “to do to him as he did to us.”

11 Then three thousand men from Judah went down to the cave in the rock of Etam and said to Samson, “Don’t you realize that the Philistines are rulers over us? What have you done to us?”

He answered, “I merely did to them what they did to me.”

12 They said to him, “We’ve come to tie you up and hand you over to the Philistines.”

Samson said, “Swear to me that you won’t kill me yourselves.”

13 “Agreed,” they answered. “We will only tie you up and hand you over to them. We will not kill you.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock. 

14 As he approached Lehi, the Philistines came toward him shouting. The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him. The ropes on his arms became like charred flax, and the bindings dropped from his hands. 

15 Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men.

16 Then Samson said,

“With a donkey’s jawbone     I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey’s jawbone     I have killed a thousand men.”

17 When he finished speaking, he threw away the jawbone; and the place was called Ramath Lehi.

18 Because he was very thirsty, he cried out to the Lord, “You have given your servant this great victory. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?” 

19 Then God opened up the hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. When Samson drank, his strength returned and he revived. So the spring was called En Hakkore, and it is still there in Lehi.

20 Samson led Israel for twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

[garden-of-thoughts-fruit-of-lips]

He also told this illustration to some who trusted in their own righteousness and who considered others as nothing:

“Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood and began to pray these things to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like everyone else—extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week; I give the tenth of all things I acquire.'

But the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing even to raise his eyes heavenward but kept beating his chest, saying, ‘O God, be gracious to me, a sinner.’ 

I tell you, this man went down to his home and was proved more righteous than that Pharisee. Because everyone who exalts himself will be humiliated, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

Luke 18: 9-14

HAPPY EASTER!!

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

Lord God, we are eternally grateful for the sacrifice You gave for our salvation. We truly don't deserve Your kindness and grace, and I can't even begin to fathom the love it would take to do such a thing. I pray that I represent that very love and forgiveness in everything I do, so that others may look upon me and see the image of You, Lord. I pray that you use my life as a beacon that draws others near to you, God, so that they may rejoice in Your Presence and worship You.

In Jesus' Mighty Name I pray, Amen. 🙏
