LOOKING FOR NEHEMIAH

[Taken]

God GIVES everyone the Big Picture of His Knowledge.

God CREATED man, a Body of Flesh, then Wonderfully MADE the Body (via a soul), FOR that body to have the necessary “tools” to Accept His Knowledge…
Ears created, Ears made to hear.
Eyes created, Eyes made to see.
Nose created, Nose made to smell.
Tongue created, Tongue made to taste.
Flesh created, Flesh made to feel touch.

And one thing I believe is still a basic teaching in public schools is the emphasis on the Basics:
Who, What, When, Why, Where…

When a man can Read the knowledge in Scripture and the plethora of express examples of a particular mans behaviors and the Favorable or Unfavorable Response from God, we begin to Learn the outcome of an others experience and choose to use that information to our own Benefit or Not.

Just saying, Every express person mentioned in Scripture, IS a role model for Standing “WITH” God or “AGAINST” God.

God IS Just. We have every option to choose our own individual Standing.

Does God have “FAVORITES”? Yes!
Gods “favorites” are His “beloved”, who exercise their freewill to “choose” their Standing to forever be “WITH” Him.

God Blesses ALL men.
Gods “REWARDS” are Gods “payments” of His “indebtedness” given a man “WHO” has made his STANDING WITH GOD, when the majority of the whole world (kings, people at large), have made their STANDING AGAINST God.

America was the last frontier to establish this Nation on Gods Standards and Principles.
American rose quickly on the world stage as as an Upstanding Godly Republic And as quickly as it rose up it is falling down being infiltrated, advocated, perpetuated, encouraged, taught to:
Be…AGAINST God
Be…LIKE the world at large.

The NEWS, is NOT NEW.
MANY shall Stand AGAINST God.
FEW shall Forever be WITH God.
Every individual has his own FREEWILL to decide and choose his own Path.

* Man WITH God are ON the path.
(And the WARNING is, they can Stumble, and they CAN Fall Away beyond reconciliation.)
* Man IN Christ the Lord Jesus Are Accomplished, Reached the Finish Line (That God Himself established and offered),
They ARE forever Kept, (not by their own will-power), but rather by the Supreme Power of God Himself.

What an Awesome God. Despite the majority of the world being AGAINST God and the wickedness of the world to cast fear, threats, tribulations AGAINST the FEW IN Christ:
God shall comfort Them and REPAY tribulations with Tribulations.

Again, your efforts of deep study and sharing is very good.

Glory to God,
Taken

Yes, the brain interprets hearing, seeing, etc.
And the brains interpretation is always Between this and that conclusion, based on ones logic.
On that hangs Gods warning about men interpreting His words and blindly trusting other mens interpretations, especially philosophers.
God has a this and that conclusion for men…
His this and that is solely to Trust His knowledge is Truth…or not. Accomplish Trusting, Converting, Then is a man prepared to receive the Understanding of Gods Knowledge. And the Lord God Himself is the giver of His Understanding.
Ask and you Shall Receive is huge part of the purpose of Gods Order and Way of prayer Unto Him for a man to Understand Gods Word according to God.
While (imo) many are praying to God for good health, safety, wealth, big house, etc. I don’t see Preachers impressing Asking God for His Understanding of His own Word, which (imo) I think that is Paramount.

Glory to God,

Correct. It’s arrogance.

Gods Glory IS His “supreme” POWER. It’s an Oddity of sorts. God “gives” His Glory to “no one”. YET; His Glory He has offered “can be WITH a man”. And man WITH Gods Glory, is “supposed” to be a “reflection” of Gods Glory, “Spirit, power, light, goodness”.
It is arrogance of man to instead project their “power” is of themselves.

Poor in the worldly sense is without money.
Poor in the spiritual sense is without Gods Spirit.

I gag at Preachers who Preach to a “poor in Spirit crowd”…..to “get rich (monetarily) with Jesus”. Boo!

- yes, Spirit, Power, Light, Goodness!
- A lot of work to do for each of us!

A converted man is “prepared” to do “works” that glorify God….as in…What we Have, Do, Share, Give….IS all possible;
BECAUSE OF Him! And when we Acknowledge THAT, We Glorify Him.

Individuals and power sitters have deflected from that perspective proudly back-patting themselves for credit due the Lord God.

• Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!

• WITH ONE ACTION HE STOPPED THE SCOURGE AGAINST

ISRAEL AND YAH.WEH’S ANGER WENT AWAY!

• BUT 24,000 DIED!

- WHAT ABOUT US?

____________________________________________________________

• Many people think they read the Bible but when you listen to them, it is clear they don’t read it!
• THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO READ THE BIBLE: TO TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT YOU READ!
• IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES!
• YOU MUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEN YOU WILL START TO LEARN ABOUT THE BIBLE!

____________________________________________________________

• In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
• An important man must go to a distant land to secure kingly power!
• To his ten slaves he gives money to do business with it till he comes back!
• When he comes back, he wants to know what his slaves have done with their business activity!
• According to what they have done he gives them authority over cities!
• BUT ONE SLAVE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING!
• And he takes what he gave to this slave and gives it to the one who did the best job!
• SO THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL BE GIVEN!
• BUT THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE!
• What about you?

_______________________________________________________

• Maybe you remember that Yah.weh prevented David from building his temple because he was a soldier and he spent a big part of his life making war!
• Jesus clearly said a Christian can’t do that!
• In fact, everything we hear in the first part of the Bible has nothing but nothing to do with what a Christian must or mustn’t do!
• THUS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE FIRST PART OF THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFY ANY PRACTICE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS NOTHING BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS’ TEACHING!
• I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT IT!

EXODUS 3:15

YAH.WEH THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS – THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB – HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.

Jesus had siblings :

- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

__________________________________________________________________________

• Remember that Nehemiah was concerned about the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls!
• Remember that Nehemiah prayed to Yah.weh about the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls!
• Remember Yah.weh provided all the necessary workers!
• Remember many enemies tried to stop the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls!
• Remember the workers would work with one hand and a weapon with the other!
• Remember that Yah.weh’s workers must be constantly on the watch while working for Yah.weh for the harvest especially in this special period of time!

__________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

• If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
• They used to write differently!
• They used to speak differently!
• They used to think differently!
• They used to act differently!

__________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

• Point of time (a specific day)
• time period of a whole or half a day:
  • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
  • Sunrise to sunset
  • Sunset to next sunset
• General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
• A year "lived a lot of days"
• Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

__________________________________________________________________________

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

- I read the Bible and I tell people about what I learn!

- When they ask me questions, I try to answer them!

- When it is possible to have a discussion, we have a discussion!

- If you look at the titles of my threads, I speak about the books of the Bible and especially about the faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- When it is different, it is because many people repeat the same arguments without knowing so I have to show how it works!

- It is necessary to check!

- About John 1:1, it is necessary to check through the Gospel of John about the use of the definite article or not!

- About Jesus' siblings, it is necessary to check the vocabulary used and the context in the different Gospels!

- About the reality of translations, it is necessary to analyze them!

- Before publishing a message, I usually publish the same information connected to the usual mistakes people make!

- Or important facts which must be remembered!
