Behold, I Will send you “Elijah” The Prophet before The Great & Terrible Day of The LORD Come,

[PloughBoy]

I will take note of your….challenge(?). And keep it close

You have made note, from what I remember that there is one standing at the door! A messenger in the wilderness….I believe you called yourself.

This too me, would say you can sense the point we are at….

So I will ask you this….
Is it relevant at >This< Point? To start this “Challenge”, as one who already Knows the one Crucified and risen?
Not speaking of Salvation myself!

Do you think it would be rewarding way beyond you expectations could you ever Imagine, if you did take on the Challenge. Do you think it is just a brain knowledge you will receive about The Biblical text of Scripture, and that is it. Do you think, That “The GOD ALMIGHTY does not give out certain kinds of Rewards to such Individuals, right now plus ETERNAL Rewards in this EndeavourThat cannot Past away “Throughout all Eternity” glowing “Brighter and Brighter” each moment where is No End of its ParticularBrilliancy ?
You do know this right.

Oh, yes I do understand everything you have said.

The Word of GOD is always powerful for The True Child of GOD no matter which way a person reads it “Skip hop or Jump”. It can never fail. You do not even have to read some books ever in life, you can just read psalm and that’s it for it will never effect your salvation.

I have know hundreds of pastors who have confess they never read the whole book, never!

And many more Religious leaders both male and females who leads millions. I have not one thing against them.

But I am so glad a. Old Pastor told me after I got saved. Go read your Bible from front to Back before you do anything, Get to know your Bible as One Book.

He said do it “NOW” before it is to late, if you wait to long, you will never do it or Have The Time to do it.

So before I did anything I must have read my Bible 5-7 as whole in one year and the New Testament by it self along I worn it out! L outside reading the whole book as a whole, 1977 March. I began journey, and every I read it like you said. I learn or saw something brand new. After every complete reading close book and Thought “OH MY GOD”! Faster than a Flash of “LIGHTNING” a picture of The Whole Book Concerning, “I Do Not Know what call it!

It is not a”Revelation” it is not a “Illumination” it is not a “Beatific Vision” nor any kind of “ Theophany”!

But a Flash Picture that Zoomed. Like a flash of all “Jesus Maternal Grandmothers”

Example: Lots daughters, Jesus grandmothers, Rahab is a grandmother too, then Judah slept with his daughter in law who trick him by play the Role of a woman in the street, and how Jesus the only True Israel The Seed of many nations, and you find what a True is “Hebrew” and what it means. And every else has a lexicon and a dictionary explaining what a Jew or Hebrew is spreading down centuries, like a Hot Branding Iron! And you standing in the middle of The Road alone! “don’t they see this, Clear as day! And if some see it, they only half “Partial” vision. And you stand there saying, ok, ok ,ok.

You are out number, so go into a corner and shut up!

And wait on the next Bus.

I hope you get the picture, your Salvation can never be revoke, is my belief. And no matter how you study, it will all profit you, with great returns.

So fear not your salvation is Secure.

I very much agree But I’m one who believes that every thing happens at it’s appropriate time. And that our focus, within the Bible, will determine what we get out of it. Hence our 40,000 way split:/ And my focus, is and always has been the -Heart and mind of God-. Which came through Jesus The Christ! So my focus has been on him, and Him alone. As when you see him, you See the Father!

And I am aware that it is spoken that it is Jesus in the OT. Or the God of the OT. But I’m just not seeing it myself. I do see a type of “proto” Christ, through certain characters such as Melchizedek, David, and even Elijah…But bottom line of what I’m getting at and where I’m going with this is…It’s the -past- to the Cross, which is the past (for each individuals) to the point in time we are now. Each having our own tasks, according to the gifts given each because of what was poured out for us. If we can even recognize them, let alone follow the (inner) leads given, and not our own! A “type” of (I really don’t like this word, but….) dispensation (not like main stream!!!) for its “time period”.

The Bible is many things to many people. All…right! For themselves. And to me, It is the Book of Salvation. (Which should be it’s title…lol…imho)

If the old saying “you are what you eat” is true, which imho, it is, then you can’t help but “be saved” by “consuming” it.
But then the question, for me, arises of: What Is salvation? What does it mean to be saved? And this, is unique to every person, as we each have our own vices to be saved from. Also known as “sin”.

There is a lot to be said concerning this, but all I will say for now, is -what we think, we become-. Down to a generic and cellular level. Which circles back around to…we are what we consume. And our body reacts accordingly. It’s a cause and effect. From our thoughts and emotions, to the things we do with and put in our bodies. Hence the “instruction” or “commands” to Life! Or to Live!

So No. No one can “loose Salvation.” But like a seed that sprouts, and grows into a seedling, and then grows into a plant that flowers: Stop watering it and it dries up. Place it in the shade (absence of light) and it withers and dies.
It’s a cause and effect or lack of cause that still has an effect. And is all done by an (inner) effort by choice. Follow the Manual that leads to literal immortality!!!!

But I do understand that contained within that manual, is the inner most parts of the “being” of our God. The depths of his heart and mind. But I’m not one who hold the whole Bible as the unadulterated word of God. But respect those that do. To a certain extent- which is biology of the human body.

The Word of God came through man, and a few times through the prophets, it was told there were false ones who said “this says the Lord” when he didn’t say or even send. So I circle back to what I said before. I follow no man,(even his books) but the Spirit within him. For the Soirit testifies with my Spirit, that which belongs to Spirit. So the Bible, to me, does indeed contain the word of God, but it also contains the word of man, speaking for God. Which is what is taking me so long to get through it. As I’m still a child learning to walk by that Spirit! With Nothing to Fear

I also understand you “not this but that. As I’ve gotten the same thing. And it is a type of “illumination”. A perception of a price of the whole. And is quite intense! Many tears of OOOMMMGGG!!!!! A part for me, was the breaking apart of time, and the vastness and depth to what we call God. So much more than what we argue and Fight over. But we seem to be on the same page. Just seems to be a lack of words for things unseen….lol
“Unspeakable!” As there are no words to describe it!

You do know this right.

I seek not rewards, and has actually cause me great grief, at the amount of people that do. As this is no different than loving someone for what they do for us, instead of loving them for who they are…

And indeed it is not about the brain knowledge at all! For this is the wisdom of the world. He words are Spirit and they are Life! And are to be read by such! Let those with eyes see! And those with ears hear! (Spiritual eyes and ears!) The brain only the medium, which is the tool used to be able to experience such in flesh itself!

So indeed For me, He is my reward!

 

[Luminary]

Ok,

You did not say anything wrong And I greatly appreciate what you have given me and ‘hear’ it! The way you provided, to me, would be the “right” way to go about -The Challenge- of Reading the Bible front to back. And even provided the land scape! I love it…lol

It’s truly a marathon!…lol…and have seen many ways to do it. Some through the year, some in a month. Never in a week or two! But believe it’s possible! And have wanted to do such many times. Just not the time right now for that path. An acceptance on my own part, as it took me 5 times to realize it…lol
I can be stubborn and hardheaded sometimes..lol

I was not listening to the direction given me, and going about my own way(trying to start that marathon) and am quite glad that I haven’t, as it has allowed some of those “new things” to show forth, not being “biased” based upon what was read before. It has allowed certain things to “stick out like a soar thumb!”

I am simply after His Truth! And nothing but. And in the process of seeking that….those…ancient paths much as been brought to light concerning what belongs to him and what does not. And in the process of reaching out to those who call themselves by his name, it has left me alone, with no “home” and no “Family” but him himself and that which belongs to His Household. And it is not in the Flesh!

It has also showed me, that this was done on purpose (the mixing of his word and man’s) as it “makes” you soly dependent on the Spirit alone. It separates those to are after him and those who are not. And OH how many are NOT!!!…Trusting solely on Spirit alone. As it is The Spirit itself, which God is, that leads us to His Truth! Literally Taught by God himself!!!! Thus fulfills the promise (decree) Spoken so long ago.
Makes me want to explode into confetti….lol

It truly shows you the relationship of Spirit and Spirit, truly becoming One (in the same!!!) Not just read about on paper by ink! But experienced and Lived by!

How awesome it is, to Live with a God that Lives!!!! It is truly Life itself<3

The Great Day of the Lord

1For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith [The LORD] of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts.

4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”

American Standard Version
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?

Berean Study Bible
His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

The first scripture that you quoted, this is Malachi 4 correct?
And how are you personally connecting psalm 110 and Matthew 3

Do you see this as already happened, is happening, or will be happening? Individually? Collectively? Simultaneously?

 

[Luminary]

Contemporary English Version
In the Scriptures God says, "When the time came, I listened to you, and when you needed help, I came to save you." That time has come. This is the day for you to be saved.

2 Corinthians 6:2
New King James Version
“For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation”

Come, right where you are !”GOD” can even meet you, there there right where you are.

I dare you to try HIM,,if GOD can Meet Moses on The Backside of A MOUNTAIN! In A “Burning Bush”!
He can meet you too!.

For even this site can be your “Burning Bush” The place That you met “GOD”.

I am nothing but a voice crying in the Wilderness! Meaning nothing but a mere Messenger boy

Also, if I may….

What do you understand “a crying out in the wilderness” to be? And if your message is to turn to God and be saved….This being what John himself did before Jesus came on the scene….Being called “The Elijah” who was to come then….then what does this make you now?

And was Elijah to come before His return? Or would he just show up like a thief in the night? Truly curious Thinking I’m missing something here…

You speak some bold words, so I’m just wondering who exactly you are. As only those sent, can truly speak such. If you are sent to speak, and relay a message, as that messenger boy, then Speak up! Please you have my ears!

It is only something written in the Book nothing more or nothing less

For all “Prophesy” will come to pass, we know that. And GOD will take the so called peace from this world and turn every man woman and child against one another that has so proclaim and written in the Book.

The time I don’t know when that time will come or whether not it will Unfold in a “Benevolent” way or a Rash hard way.

But the judgment of “Romans 1” it is being released upon the whole world right now it seems in a benevolent type way as some “Theologians” do believe and I do too,, like a slow Increasing, wave building Strength.

“By Observing “The Fig Tree And Its branches and it’s Leaves”

“Anthropomorphically” speaking, only about the Fig Tree, but not an “Absolute” Declaration, coming from me.

I am like everyone else, I read my Bible, and, try my best to present The “GATJC”,:

“Flee, from The Coming “Wrath of GOD”, REPENT and Believe The “GATJC”!

“REPENT”, His WRATH is Sure to Come! He sent Jesus to Die In our Place to save us from it, from HIS Coming WRATH!

Now is it Flowing right now in a “Benevolent Wave”, I don’t know for sure. But I have noticed , The Presences of The unprecedented.

He Died to SAVE Us from “ME”! “THE GOD ALMIGHTY”

GOD, ALMIGHTY, Controls death and Life.

Nothing dies unless, GOD ALMIGHTY gives The Command. Even Death has to have “Permission” to carry out his job.

Death do not act “Independently” and at will.

12Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling soundbehind me: “Blessed be the gloryof the LORD from His place!”13And I heard the sound of the wings of the living beings touchingone another and the sound of the wheels beside them, even a greatrumbling sound. 14So the Spiritlifted me up and took me away; and I went embittered in the rageof my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong on me. 15Then I came to the exiles who livedbeside the river Chebar at Tel-abib, and I sat there for sevendays where they were living, causing consternation amongthem.

16Now at the end of seven daysthe word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17“Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, WARN them from Me.!

Good morning!

“A voice calling out in the wilderness”….This is so much more than just “words written”.

The words in the Bible are multi-dimensional. Meaning they can have multiple meanings and still hold true on different levels. On a physical and a Spiritual.
-A literal body, out in the middle of no where, calling out to those paths crossed, to come and “repent to be saved”. Such as John did. He was “cleaning the path” for Jesus’ coming. The Elijah who was said to come! Those words were quoted a few times. Which were a type of “sign” for those later to be looking for. It’s how they came to recognize him from the prophets. Jesus called it

To say such words today, Would be the same thing. The situation that we find ourself in as a whole “group”, is exactly the same as a wilderness. A Spiritual wilderness. As there is no structure to what we find ourself in, with everyone seeming to do their own thing! So to say these words, means more than you realize! Which is why I asked the question!

God does not take the peace from this World. He brings it and gives it. Even in the book you quoted for this post, it says he turns the hearts of Father to their children!
It is The Truth, (any truth) that divides and separates! That turns family against family. The Sword!(of the Spirit/which is the Word itself)

When The Light shines upon dark places, the darkness flees. Matters not relation! For it destroys a “false” peace that many rest upon, and simply shows the division that was already there but hidden! A crumbling foundation! He “takes away” the false!!! Everything!!!

The time for the judgment came after Jesus ascended. And has been revealed since. (To each person called)
Romans 1:16 “This will take place in the day when God judges peoples secrets through Jesus Christ as my gospel declares”

And has Slowly come about and will eventually culminate into an intense decline and destruction of what is now. You can see this with the leaving of the churches. Or Government. Our social structures. Familial structures! (For who is my father, mother, sister, brother….but those who do the will of my father in heaven)…..And is only a matter of time, before the whole thing will fall. In the past it was attributed to God Wrath and anger….yet…
8-11 ”There will be trouble and distress for every human who does evil , but glory honor and peace for those how do good!”

When you are honest, have integrity, and are transparent, there is nothing anyone or anything can put against you. Yet when you lie, cheat, steal, ect….you are convicted already! The moment it’s done. It just has to be “brought to light”. Or revealed! And this is happening on the entire scale. From the individual, to the masses, and can be seen through the news. Lies are coming to light! And through the aftermath of Covid on a more personal scale, as there is a lot of shifting going on in families also!

Neither do you have to “try your best” to give the gospel. It was already done The Spirit moves you, and gives the words when they are needed. To those who need to hear it. What we are to do at this point, is to give what was revealed to us through that gospel. Those “nuggets” of truth found within. For at this point, the whole world has heard the gospel. Now, it’s time for us to come together in His Truth. At least the sense I have. Which we were already asked to do! Being of one mind in his Peace! And this we are not!!!!!!

Death was instituted at the fall. And is chosen by us, by our choice. It need not be this way! Hence what was given us through the Bible. This can be proven through biology. As our cells are constantly regenerating!!! It is our thoughts,(and emotions) and what we put in and do with our bodies that bring about (invite/allow) death. A cause and effect!!!

And with the same, can truly live immortal. This is why the choice given to choose life, or -continue- in our death. Through Jesus Christ! As the Way maker (to it!) and Example show(er). He literally displayed it, with the cross, for the world, that it may live and -overcome- death itself! Just as he.

It starts by taking up your own cross, being baptized into his death;(death to the ME) being born again, and raised (into) new Life by/through the Spirit!

This is the -foundation- of that gospel that majority skip…seeking those rewards!

 

[AnneOminous]

Thank you for the response!

In all transparency, I have not read the Bible front to back. At the beginning of my journey, long story short, I ended up going to the Bible by myself, and started Matt-John and wrestled with those for about 2years. Then moved on to Acts- John3, for about 2 years, then Revelation(read it a few times, but not wrestling with that one at the moment. A bit much for me- “food” wise)

I have attempted probably 5 times now, to read the Bible front to back. And can’t seem to make it past Judges. From getting side tracked following different “leads” to time constraints. As I pick up something new every time I start over. Which needless to say, I haven’t made it into the Prophets. I have looked up verses through different ones from conversations, and read that particular chapter that a verse is being quoted from, so it’s patchy for me. Well, I have read daniel, as I was in a heated one about Revelation going back and forth between the two.

So before I go any further, on this particular response, I will read up on Ezekiel, so I can at least keep up

Any particular books you would suggest to get me started?

Please don’t go searching for the story of Elijah in the book of Ezekiel. It ain’t there.

I think ploughing got mixed up.

Lol…yes He explained this already. Like looking at the color blue, but thinking red…and calling it red despite seeing blue…lol…crazy brains

I ended up fining it in 1Kings /2Kings. (After I read Ezekiel!)

But there is not much there to be able to see a type of “personality” to be able to recognize if/when such would come again.

So far all I can tell, is he is confident in his God, humble before him, and very sarcastic with a bit of (Adjective)“smartass” mixed in…lol

To say such words today, Would be the same thing. The situation that we find ourself in as a whole “group”, is exactly the same as a wilderness. A Spiritual wilderness. As there is no structure to what we find ourself in, with everyone seeming to do their own thing! So to say these words, means more than you realize! Which is why I asked the question!

God does not take the peace from this World. He brings it and gives it. Even in the book you quoted for this post, it says he turns the hearts of Father to their children!
It is The Truth, (any truth) that divides and separates! That turns family against family. The Sword!(of the Spirit/which is the Word itself)

When The Light shines upon dark places, the darkness flees. Matters not relation! For it destroys a “false” peace that many rest upon, and simply shows the division that was already there but hidden! A crumbling foundation! He “takes away” the false!!! Everything!!!

The time for the judgment came after Jesus ascended. And has been revealed since. (To each person called)
Romans 1:16 “This will take place in the day when God judges peoples secrets through Jesus Christ as my gospel declares”

And has Slowly come about and will eventually culminate into an intense decline and destruction of what is now. You can see this with the leaving of the churches. Or Government. Our social structures. Familial structures! (For who is my father, mother, sister, brother….but those who do the will of my father in heaven)…..And is only a matter of time, before the whole thing will fall. In the past it was attributed to God Wrath and anger….yet…
8-11 ”There will be trouble and distress for every human who does evil , but glory honor and peace for those how do good!”

When you are honest, have integrity, and are transparent, there is nothing anyone or anything can put against you. Yet when you lie, cheat, steal, ect….you are convicted already! The moment it’s done. It just has to be “brought to light”. Or revealed! And this is happening on the entire scale. From the individual, to the masses, and can be seen through the news. Lies are coming to light! And through the aftermath of Covid on a more personal scale, as there is a lot of shifting going on in families also!

Neither do you have to “try your best” to give the gospel. It was already done The Spirit moves you, and gives the words when they are needed. To those who need to hear it. What we are to do at this point, is to give what was revealed to us through that gospel. Those “nuggets” of truth found within. For at this point, the whole world has heard the gospel. Now, it’s time for us to come together in His Truth. At least the sense I have. Which we were already asked to do! Being of one mind in his Peace! And this we are not!!!!!!

Death was instituted at the fall. And is chosen by us, by our choice. It need not be this way! Hence what was given us through the Bible. This can be proven through biology. As our cells are constantly regenerating!!! It is our thoughts,(and emotions) and what we put in and do with our bodies that bring about (invite/allow) death. A cause and effect!!!

And with the same, can truly live immortal. This is why the choice given to choose life, or -continue- in our death. Through Jesus Christ! As the Way maker (to it!) and Example show(er). He literally displayed it, with the cross, for the world, that it may live and -overcome- death itself! Just as he.

It starts by taking up your own cross, being baptized into his death;(death to the ME) being born again, and raised (into) new Life by/through the Spirit!

This is the -foundation- of that gospel that majority skip…seeking those rewards!

Ok, I have no argument with you, for I am not a teacher, like I said, I have no argument with you.

What ever you say, I have no problem with it. But keep the good work up.

And have a nice day!

I don’t consider myself a teacher, neither do I want to be a preacher. Just reaching out to other called by the same name to be of one mind in his Peace like we were asked too

Thank you for the exchange and patients with me. I know I can be a handful sometimes…lol

Hope you have a great day as well!

Now Continually in “The Spirit of “Ezekiel”

1And the word of the Lordcame to me, saying, 2“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. 4The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and [a]cruelty you have ruled them. 5So they were scattered because there wasno shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. 6My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.”

7‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8“As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock”— 9therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the Lord! 10Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I amagainst the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them.”

God, the True Shepherd​

11‘For thus says the Lord God: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. 13And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ezekiel/34.htm#footnotesin the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. 16“I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.”

17‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats. 18Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the [c]residue of your pasture—and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet? 19And as forMy flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”

20‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. 21Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, 22therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. 23I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

25“I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. 29I will raise up for them a garden[d]of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. 30Thus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people,” says the Lord God.’

31“You are My flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.

I’m not understanding where you are going with this…and why the sad face? To such a secured promise of bringing his own back to them and securing them with him….

You know the Book.

New King James Version
For in much wisdom is much grief, And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

New American Standard Bible
Because in much wisdom there is much grief; and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.

NASB 1995
Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.

American Standard Version
“He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
There is nothing to rejoice about a HOLY GOD suffering like he did to save my soul.
It makes one So Humble to the act He DID.“ It breaks a Repented heart until it is “Broken”. When I even think about it.

Why have I study, with all of My Strength, my mind, my soul, “systematically” and have forsaken all, Since 1977: I Dig for The True GOLD, that cannot pass away nor Perish.

American Standard Version
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;”

For I travel The Pillgrims “Vio Dororosa”!

For I am going For The Prize.

And a Apostle has said: “I die Daily”.

PS, The Path I travel, you could never understand, my path is different, just like every other creature.
To each man his own

Shalom

I seek not rewards, and has actually cause me great grief, at the amount of people that do. As this is no different than loving someone for what they do for us, instead of loving them for who they are…

And indeed it is not about the brain knowledge at all! For this is the wisdom of the world. He words are Spirit and they are Life! And are to be read by such! Let those with eyes see! And those with ears hear! (Spiritual eyes and ears!) The brain only the medium, which is the tool used to be able to experience such in flesh itself!

So indeed For me, He is my reward!

Note: I am not referring to earthly tokens that perished.

The old folks , use to say: “I am sending up Timber”! That is old school terminology understanding, grandma “Hattie” and “POP Tom”.

It is liken to a “Command” and Not an option by GOD!

19“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rustdestroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I might be dumb and ignorant in many Things! BUT, I understand that!

Indeed this is true! And this I understand! But we have one who comforts us (in) that sorrow…..And he lives!!!

And we are all to take that path. As it’s the path the he himself took. But there is a time for mourning and a time for rejoicing!!!!

I know all too well the pain of not only what he himself suffered, but reading in Jeremiah today. I found the same sufferings within myself….So many tears…. And so much anger in past years, from going through the churches and seeing what I saw. I also experience it my own family. So I understand more than you give me credit for. For even though we have different experiences and tasks to complete, the experiences of being a disciple of his will relate. Simply by being human…

But I still don’t understand ….
“Now continually in the Spirit of Ezekiel”

And where you are going with it….
Your posts seem Radom to me and seem to jump all over the place…

Would you mind connecting them together?
