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 his fellow Israelites 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 the commands for when Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights. Only Aaron, his 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 judge was to be put to death. Moses, psalmists and other prophets revealed that the Lord God shall judge the Israelites. Over 1,400 years after Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto 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 Israelite tribe of 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. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and Jesus went to Galilee. Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites.-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
