Remnant to Evangelize the World

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. Matthew 22:9

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes?

These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour;

And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

Zechariah 8:6,,16,21-23

Fossilization Process

For things to become fossilized-they require rapid burial in sediment. What could cause a global fossil layer? (From Rapid Burial)

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Luke 17:27

Passionate Prayer of Ezra

And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God, And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ......we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this. Ezra 9:5,6,10,15

Beauty in the Symmetry of the Simplicity of His Word #2

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. John 20:15

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Genesis 2:8

So Mary was right with her first instinct-He was the Gardener....

Beauty in the Symmetry of the Simplicity of His Word #1

In Exodus we are told to keep the Sabbath because of Creation. In Deuteronomy Moses explained the Law to the people and added it was because God delivered them from Egypt. Someone once tried to tell me the Bible was contradicting itself. But look closer-the Bible is a Chain-of-Truth. We are to keep the Sabbath because He is both Creator & Redeemer who delivered us from the bondage of the slavery of sin in Egypt (the world).
At the end of Creation He rested on the 7th day and made it a Holy day. At the end of his work on the cross as our Redeemer- He again rested on the Sabbath in the grave. The Bible does not contradict itself-
He is both Creator & Redeemer. But we also keep Sabbath because - If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15
Sabbath....CREATOR+REDEEMER=LOVE

Beware the false prophets of the "Prosperity Gospel"

The so-called "Prosperity Gospel" Movement has gained steam in the U.S. They base it on a verse used by oral Roberts- Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 But in the original Greek it is closer to this meaning from the RSV translation Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in health; I know that it is well with your soul.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:7-10

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mark 10:25 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:Matthew 6:19,20 ---But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:8

No Other

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Some will never believe

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 2 Peter 3:6 Yet despite the global fossil record and the geological evidence laid down...some will never believe in the flood-or any other Biblical events. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16:31
