Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

Some Advice to Keep in Mind

The Words of 
Jesus the Christ,
the Son of God:

And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.-Luke 12:54-59***When the Israelites were camped east of the Jordan River, Moses told them that each tribe must make a selection of individuals to serve as officers and chief magistrates for the purpose of issuing fair judgments, according to the commands of the Lord God. Difficult disputes were to be brought to the judge, and afterwards the priests. Moses' older brother Aaron was the 1st priest in the priesthood that the Lord God gave Moses commands for when Moses was upon Mount Sinai 40 days and nights with the Lord God. Only Aaron, and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. The Lord God commanded that if a wicked man was found guilty and condemned to be beaten, a maximum of 40 lashes could be given. Anyone who willfully refused to listen to the priests or judges was to be put to death. Moses, psalmists and other prophets revealed that the Lord God shall judge the Israelites. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, 123-year-old died upon Mount Hor. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Joshua led the 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. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, 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 Jacob's 4th born son Judah 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, from the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the birth tribe of Aaron and Moses. 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 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.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 1:1-46, 16:1-17:20, 25:1-19, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Psalm 7, Psalm 9, Psalm 50, Psalm 67, Psalm 72, Psalm 75, Psalm 94, Psalm 96, Psalm 98, Psalm 110, Psalm 135, Isaiah 1:1-31, 3:1-26, 33:1-24, Ezekiel 1:1-28, 7:1-27, 11:1-25, 16:1-63, 18:1-32, 34:1-31, Joel, Amos 1:1-2:16, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
