You'll See

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

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee
.-Matthew 11:20-24***Levi was the 3rd son born to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Judah was Jacob and Leah's 4th born son. Over 1,100 years after Benjamin was born near Bethlehem, approximately 6 miles from Jerusalem, to Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Rachel died, Hoshea became the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. During the 9th year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians conquered Samaria, the royal city, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Less than 140 years after Samaria was conquered,  Zedekiah (Mattaniah), from the tribe of Judah, became the 19th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Jacob, and to Jacob's father Isaac, and to Isaac's father Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to their descendants. During the 11th year of Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) conquered the royal city, Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 500 years after Jerusalem was conquered, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by 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 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. Jesus spoke about Chorazin, Bethsaida, Tyre, Sidon, Capernaum, and Sodom. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible do not reveal any details of the goings-on in Chorazin. In Bethsaida, Galilee, Jesus met a blind man whose eyes were opened and sight restored after Jesus was brought to the man. Simon Peter, Andrew and Philip, 3 of the 12 disciples and apostles of Jesus the Christ, were from Bethsaida. 
Capernaum, Galilee, became a temporary home of Jesus the Christ. In Capernaum, Jesus commanded an evil spirit to come out of a man, and Jesus met a centurion who had great faith, and Jesus forgave the sins of a paralyzed man and commanded the man to rise. Tyre was the home of King Hiram, the ruler who sent workers and the timber necessary to build a palace for his friend King David, the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. Moreover, the people of Sidon (Zidon) supplied timber for David. Solomon was the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba.  Before 70-year-old David died, Solomon became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites. Hiram sent timber and workers to Solomon in Jerusalem to help Solomon build the temple of the Lord. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule 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. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria  was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. After the Assyrians conquered Samaria, they took more Israelites captive, and the king of Assyria sent people from other kingdoms conquered by the Assyrians to live in Samaria. After the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, they looted and burned the temple of the Lord before taking more Israelites to Babylon. After Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, and were preparing to build a temple, the Sidonians and the people of Tyre supplied the Israelites with timber.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 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, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah 23:1-18, Ezekiel 28:1-26, Joel 3:1-21, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

They're Going to Get It

A message the Lord God 
revealed to Isaiah the prophet:

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, The rings, and nose jewels, The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground
.
-Isaiah 3:10-26***Over 700 years before Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the tribe 
of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Isaiah the prophet was receiving visions and messages from the Lord God for the Israelites. Isaiah and his fellow Israelites descended from Adam and Eve, their son Seth, Seth's great-great-great-grandson Enoch, Enoch's great-grandson Noah the ark builder, Noah's son Shem, Shem's son Arphaxad, Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah, Terah's children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), their son Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and maidservant Bilhah. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and maidservant Zilpah. Joseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Months before Jesus the Christ was born, John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by 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 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, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Get to Gettin'

The apostle Paul
in Corinth and Ephesus

And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters. And he drave them from the judgment seat. Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things. And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him, 
Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus
.-Acts 18:12-21***In Corinth, in ancient Greece, the apostle Paul (Saul) met, lived and worked with fellow Israelite Aquila and Aquila's wife Priscilla (Prisca). Alone and with other believers, Paul proclaimed the good news of Jesus the Christ, who had been crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven years earlier. After many Israelites in Corinth vocally rejected the gospel, Paul declared that he would proclaim the good news of Jesus the Christ to Gentiles, people not descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah,  and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel).  The ruler of the synagogue, however, and those in the synagogue ruler's household, and several others in Corinth believed in the Lord Jesus and were baptized. The Lord Jesus spoke to Paul in a vision and gave Paul a message of assurance. Shortly thereafter,  the Israelites who did not believe Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of God, banded together and brought Paul before Gallio, the deputy in charge of the region for the Roman Empire, the rulers of the land. When Gallio refused to listen to the complainants, the ejected crowd beat Sosthenes, the reigning synagogue ruler. Eventually, Paul, Aquila and Priscilla left Corinth and were in EphesusThe
divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Paul identified Aquila and Priscilla as fellow workers in Christ Jesus, and a group of believers regularly congregated in their home.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 21-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans 16:1-5, 1 Corinthians 16:13-24, Ephesians, 2 Timothy 4:19-22

Do the Do's, Don't the Don'ts, and Be the Be's

From a letter written by the apostle Paul
to the believers in Ephesus and everywhere:


 Ephesians 4:26-32 

26.Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27.Neither give place to the devil.


28.Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.


29.Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.


30.And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.


31.Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:


32.And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
                 
                   Background Information: 

In a divinely inspired message sent to people in Ephesus who believed Jesus, who had been crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven, to be the Christ, the Son of God, the apostle Paul (Saul) taught about predestination, spiritual knowledge, life, death, sin, the purposeful actions each believer must take to walk a life of love, and the relationship in Christ between Israelites and Gentiles, people not descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekahand Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel).-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Ephesians

Attitude of Ingratitude

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then said his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.-Matthew 18:21-35***The children of Israel, the Israelites, are the descendants of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). During a famine, 130-year-old Jacob and his family moved from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph, the 1st son born to Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, was  second-in-command. In Egypt, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons born to Joseph and his wife Asenath, to be his own sons. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and Jacob's family buried his body in Canaan, and 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings were dead, the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and living in Midian, the Lord God spoke to Moses, and gave him assurances and commands, and sent Moses and 83-year-old Aaron to speak to the Israelite elders and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur.  During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam the prophetess died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high priest died. Shortly thereafter, Moses spoke to the Israelites and recounted their history, and the commandments, judgments, statutes, and laws that the Lord God gave for the Israelites. Moses described the blessings that would overtake the Israelites if they listened to the voice of the Lord God, and the curses that would overtake them if they did not listen to the voice of the Lord God and did not obey the commandments and statutes. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' aide and  successor from the tribe of Ephraim, 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, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zachaias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by 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 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, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Simon Peter, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach, and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Sometime before Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven less than 3 1/2 years after he was baptized, Jesus revealed a description of the kingdom of heaven to Simon Peter.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 1:1-27:34, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy, 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, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

One of the last messages Moses spoke
to his fellow Israelites:

All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee god at thy latter end; And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.-Deuteronomy 8:1-20/the complete chapter***Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were Israelitews from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 40 years old, he killed an Egyptian, hid the body, hurriedly left Egypt, and began living in Midian. Moses became the husband of Zipporah, a Midianite woman descended from Abraham and his 2nd wife Keturah, and Abraham and Keturah's son Midian. When Moses was 80 years old and herding his father-in-law's sheep, he saw a fiery sight. After Moses went for a closer look, the Lord God called to Moses and spoke to Moses, and Moses spoke to the Lord God. The Lord God sent Moses and 83-year-old Aaron to speak to the Israelites elders and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and told them to get the Israelites and their animals and go serve the Lord God. Before Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, the Israelites asked for and were given an abundance of valuable goods, fulfilling the words that the Lord God spoke to Abraham over 600 years earlier. In the desert wilderness of Sin, the Lord God began raining manna from heaven for the Israelites to eat. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam the prophetess died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. When Moses, Aaron and Aaron's son Eleazar went upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the priest died, and Eleazar succeeded Aaron as high priest, according to the will of the Lord God. Sometime thereafter, Moses began publicly proclaiming the history and responsibilities of the Israelites. Joshua, the warrior and spy who served as Moses' aide, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Moses presented Joshua with the duties to perform as his successor and as leader, and the Lord God gave Joshua his command. The Lord God told Moses to write down a song and teach the song to the Israelites. Moses and Joshua proclaimed the words of the song to the Israelites, and Moses blessed the Israelites and went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, 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, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Judea, into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Joseph, Mary and Jesus stayed in Egypt for a short while, and afterwards lived in Nazareth, Galilee, and at least 6 other children lived in the household. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by 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 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. When Jesus was among some Israelites in Galilee, Jesus spoke about manna.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 10:1-20:29, 26:1-27:23, 33:1-56, Deuteronomy, Joshua 1:1-6:27, 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, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4

Instructions Against Destruction

And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.-Numbers 21:4-9***After Moses and his older brother Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, through Succoth, and to the edge of Etham, they were at the Red Sea. The Egyptians, including Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, were pursuing the Israelites, the descendants of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, and Isaac  and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). The Israelites cried out to Moses, and Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, and the Lord God caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind. The water was divided, and the Israelites, and those with them, walked across the dry bed of the Red Sea. The Lord God gave Moses more commands, and the Lord God threw the Egyptians into the sea. In Marah, in the desert wilderness of Shur, there was only bitter water to drink. Everyone complained against Moses, and Moses cried out to the Lord God. In the desert wilderness of Sin, the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron while craving the meat and bread previously eaten in Egypt. The Lord God told Moses that he would rain down bread from heaven. During the evening the Lord God provided quail for the Israelites, and in the morning the Lord God provided manna, the bread from heaven. At Rephidim, the Israelites demanded Moses supply them with water, and the Israelites complained about being led out of Egypt. At Taberah, their complaints resulted in fire from the Lord God burning among the Israelites and consuming many of the Israelites. Sometime thereafter, the Israelites, and those with them, began complaining about the manna and began crying for the variety of food they had enjoyed in Egypt. In the desert wilderness of Paran, the Israelites complained after hearing about the size of the inhabitants living in Canaan, the Promised Land. Before the Israelites were in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin, the Israelites expressed such serious opposition to Moses and Aaron and the perceived privileges of Moses and Aaron that the Lord God was going to put an end to the Israelites, his treasured and chosen people. During the 40-year journey to the Promised Land,  Miriam, the older sister of Aaron and Moses, died and was buried in Kadesh. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the priest died. After the Canaanite king of Arad took Israelites captive, the Israelites requested help from the Lord God and made a vow to the Lord God. The Lord God allowed the Israelites to defeat the Canaanites. Sometime thereafter, when the Israelites were complaining against the Lord God and Moses, and complaining about the journey from Egypt, and the lack of bread and water, and the daily supply of manna, the Lord God sent fiery serpents. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, their firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born 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, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the birth tribe of Miriam, Aaron and Moses, to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative 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 John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by 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 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. In a private conversation with Nicodemus, a Pharisee, Jesus mentioned Moses and the serpent that Moses made.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus 1:1-40:38, Numbers 11:1-17:13, 20:1-21:35, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 1:1-2:37, 8:1-20, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-6:27, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
