How Now Shall It Come About

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.-John 6:1-6***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God tested Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) sometime before the death of Sarah (Sarai), Abraham's wife. The Lord God told Abraham to take Isaac, the only child born to Abraham and Sarah, and offer Isaac in Moriah as a burnt offering. The Lord God tested the Israelites, the descendants of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Moses and his older siblings Miriam and Aaron were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. In the desert wilderness of Shur, and the desert wilderness of Sin, and other places during the 40 years that Moses and Aaron were leading the Israelites to Canaan, the Promised Land, after bringing them away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, the Lord God tested the Israelites. After Miriam died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin, and 123-year-old Aaron died upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses died and was divinely buried, Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites. After 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, Joshua led the Israelites in victories battles against many of the land's idol worshiping inhabitants. After 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, the Lord God tested the Israelites and did not fully drive out the remaining enemy nations. Rehoboam, the son born to King Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. 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, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Judah was nation in the south, Jerusalem  was the royal city and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Less than 200 years after Jeroboam's son Nadab became the 2nd king to rule the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians invaded the kingdom and conquered Samaria, 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, Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Zedekiah (Mattaniah) became the 17th king to rule Judah. 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 500 years after Israelites began returning to Judah and Jerusalem, 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 into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah, the tribe of Solomon, Rehoboam and all of Judah's kings, 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, including Philip from Bethsaida, Galilee, 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 10:1-25:18, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 8:1-20, 13:1-18, 31:1-34:12, Joshua, Judges 1:1-3:31, 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, Ezra, Isaiah 36:1-39:8, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
