All of a Sudden

Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,

and a leper

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the mater, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.-Mark 1:39-45***Over 3,500 years ago, 80-year-old Moses and his 83-year-old brother Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, when Moses was upon Mount Sinai 40 days and nights with the Lord God, the Lord God described to Moses and showed Moses the likeness of the tabernacle and the sacred items that the Israelites were to make, and the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. Before leaving the desert wilderness of Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses and Aaron laws about lepers and leprosy. Miriam was the older sister of Aaron and Moses. In Hazeroth, when Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, the Lord God told Moses, Aaron and Miriam to come to the tabernacle. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal the words that the Lord God spoke to Miriam and Aaron, and reveal that after the Lord God departed, Miriam became leprous. 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. 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 (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Over 400 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Rehoboam, the son born to King Solomon and Naamah, became 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. 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. Ahab was the 7th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. Ahaziah, the son born to Ahab and his wife Jezebel, was the 8th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, and Ahab and Jezebel's son Jehoram (Joram), was the 9th king to reign. Elijah the prophet proclaimed the words of the Lord God to the Israelites when Ahab and Ahaziah reigned, and anointed Elisha to succeed him, according to the command of the Lord God. Sometime after Elijah went up into heaven by a whirlwind, Elisha gave instructions to Naaman, a leper and commander of the Syrian (Aramean) army. Naaman dipped himself 7 times in the Jordan River, and his skin was restored clean, and he went to Elisha and declared that the Lord God in Israel is the only God in all the earth. King Uzziah (Azariah) was the 9th king to rule Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Uzziah obeyed the Ten Commandments that Moses, his siblings and their fellow Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim to them, and the judgments, statutes, and laws that the Lord God gave Moses for the Israelites. However, after Uzziah entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense, a place and a duty only for the priests, and Azariah the priest and the 80 priests with Azariah the priest confronted Uzziah, and Uzziah was angry, the Lord God struck Uzziah, and Uzziah immediately became a leper. Over 700 years after Jotham, the son born to Uzziah and Jerusha (Jerushah), became the 10th king to rule Judah, 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 tribe of Moses and his siblings, 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, the tribe 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, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. A leper in Galilee worshiped Jesus and made a request. In a synagogue in Nazareth, Galilee, Jesus spoke of Naaman and Elisha (Eliseus). In another region, 10 lepers asked Jesus for mercy. As the 10 lepers obeyed Jesus and were cleansed, the Samaritan among them glorified the Lord God and thanked Jesus. In Bethany, expensive ointment was poured on Jesus when Jesus was in the home of Simon the leper.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 1:1-14:57, 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, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
