Just Obedience

And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.-Acts 8:26-31***Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God spoke to Moses face to face and knew Moses face to face. Moses was married to an Ethiopian (Cushite) woman. Biblical and historical records associate Ethiopia with Cush, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah the ark builder, and the land  known as cush. In Hazeroth, during the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses. Over 300 years after Joshua, Moses' successor, led his fellow Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, became the 1st king to reign over all of the Israelites. David, from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah, was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon, the 2nd son born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam was the 1st king to reign. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. During the 5th year of Rehoboam's reign, the Ethiopians (Cushites) were allied with nations that invaded Judah, conquered some cities, and captured treasures from the temple of the Lord and the palace in Jerusalem. During the reign of Rehoboam's grandson Asa, the 3rd king to rule Judah, Zerah, an Ethiopian (Cushite), invaded Judah. Asa cried out to the Lord God, and the Lord God struck the Ethiopians (Cushites) and the Ethiopians ran away. Asa's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Zedekiah (Mattaniah) was the 19th king to rule Judah. During Zedekiah's reign, Ebed-melech, an Ethiopian (Cushite), spoke to Zedekiah about Jeremiah, a prophet of the Lord God. Accusers had convinced Zedekiah that Jeremiah should be killed, and the accusers lowered Jeremiah into a muddy cistern. However, Zedekiah allowed Ebed-melech to help Jeremiah get out of the pit. Shortly thereafter, the Lord God gave Jeremiah a message to proclaim to Ebed-melech. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 100 years earlier, the Assyrians invaded the northern nation of Israel and conquered Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the birth tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven. Sometime thereafter, a top Ethiopian official from a land that wasn't necessarily present-day Ethiopia, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. As the Ethiopian official was reading words that Isaiah (Esaias) the prophet was divinely inspired to write, he spoke with Philip.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 12:1-16, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Isaiah 1:1-31, Jeremiah 37:1-39:18, 52:1-34, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:40, 21:1-14
