...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. 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. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

More Plus More Because of the Lord
And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat. And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.-2 Kings 4:42-44***At the Jordan River, Elisha the prophet witnessed Elijah the prophet going up into heaven by a whirlwind. In Jericho, Elisha witnessed the healing of water, according to the will of the Lord God. When Elisha was journeying to Bethel, he witnessed a large group of children mocking him. After cursing the children in the name of the Lord, Elisha possibly witnessed the subsequent bear attack. In the home of a widow, Elisha gave instructions to the widow and witnessed the widow being miraculously supplied with oil to sell. In Shunem, Elisha witnessed a widow's dead son living again. In Gilgal, Elisha witnessed his actions help make an inedible meal edible. Moreover, Elisha witnessed a particular offering of food get served to a multitude. Over 750 years after Elisha died and his body was buried, 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 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 Levi. 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 the desert region of Bethsaida, with a supply of 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, Jesus fed 5,000 men and an unknown number of women and children. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that 12 baskets of food were left after everyone ate. Upon a mountainous region, with a supply of 7 loaves of bread and a few fish, Jesus fed 4,000 men and an unknown number of women and children, and 7 baskets of food were left after everyone ate.-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, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-13:25, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
