Hear Ye, Hear Ye

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.-Acts 10:34-43***John the Baptist was an Israelite and a baptizer who baptized with water unto repentance and preached a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. John the Baptist explained that he was not the Christ and explained that the Christ would baptize with the Holy Ghost and with fire. When John the Baptist was at the Jordan River baptizing, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, came to be baptized. Approximately 30 years earlier, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth), descendants of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in Judea, into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary, a virgin, and her husband Joseph after being conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin. After a brief stay in Egypt, Joseph, Mary and Jesus lived in the family household in Nazareth, in Galilee. Approximately 30 years later, at the Jordan River, 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 for 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. After Andrew heard John the Baptist identify Jesus, Andrew told his brother Simon (Peter) about the  identification of the Messiah and took Simon Peter to Jesus. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Andrew and 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. Jesus chose Andrew, Simon Peter, and 10 of his other disciples and named them apostles and sent them on a divine mission only among the Israelites. Sometime thereafter, Jesus sent at least 70 others on a similar mission. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by the disciple and apostle Judas Iscariot, and Jesus was arrested. After receiving and returning the 30 pieces of silver he received for betraying Jesus, Judas Iscariot killed himself. Shortly thereafter, Jesus was crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, including Andrew, Simon Peter and the rest of the disciples and apostles, and returned to heaven. Simon Peter became a leader among the Israelite believers, and stated the reason for another man to be added to their group. Moreover, Simon Peter became known for commanding a man who was lame to rise up and walk in the name of Jesus, and for speaking of Jesus to the Israelites and their leaders, and for telling bedridden Aeneas that Jesus heals Aeneas, and for commanding Aeneas to rise up and make the bed for himself. When Simon Peter was praying upon a rooftop, and was hungry, and a trance fell upon him, he saw a divine vision, and heard the voice of the Lord Jesus speaking to him. Meanwhile, Cornelius the centurion, who was not an Israelite, had obeyed the words that an angel of God spoke to him and sent 3 men to bring Simon Peter to Caesarea, to Cornelius. In Cornelius' home, Simon Peter spoke to Cornelius, his relatives and close friends.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, 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 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, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31

Reference Scriptures:

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.-Matthew 28:16-20

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.-John 5:17...For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:-John 5:22
