God’s Love is for ‘Every Nation, Kindred, Tongue, and People’ for All Time, not Just on Valentine’s Day

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA   

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FOUR & FORTY– Part IX

 God’s Love is for ‘Every Nation, Kindred, Tongue, and People’ for All Time, not Just on Valentine’s Day

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

 

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject of ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

– Samuel Johnson, famous English lexicographer

Apostle Paul’s famous love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13 concludes on the 13th verse: “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these three is love ”—not faith nor hope! This love, certainly never eros, not even the nobler philos, is alone tightly bundled with Biblicalfaith, which always “works by love” (Gal. 5: 6,)  “the hand that appropriates Christ’s merits and remedies for sin” (DA 175), and that hope  grounded in God’s word and promises (Rom. 15: 4; Titus 1: 2, etc.). This belongs to those who possess it by living experience, not mere talk.

What shall I do to inherit eternal life?

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA  

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FOUR & FORTY– Part  IXX

 ‘What shall I do to inherit eternal life?’

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK:

“Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made them upright;

but they have sought out many inventions.”

– King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 7: 29, K.J.V.

This is the question those who are convicted by the Holy Spirit will ask, not the popular yet unbiblical question: “Are you saved?” Such questioners force the issue by even demanding, “It’s answerable by either a Yes or No.” The Creator of the heavens and the earth,

The Four Divine Kingdoms-Part II

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK

It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.

— Mark Twain

  

      “The death of Christ—the very event which the disciples had looked upon as the final destruction of their hope—was that which made it forever sure.  While it had brought them a cruel disappointment, it was theclimax of the proof that their belief had been correct.  The event that had filled them with mourning and despair, was that which opened the door of hope to every child of Adam, and in which centered the future life and eternal happiness of all God’s faithful ones in all ages.”

When Faith, Hope, Grace, and Prayer Become Unnecessary

Till we are eternally secure and beyond 1) Satan’s unnumbered schemes, subtle and alluring temptations “perfected” through six thousand years of diabolical craftiness for these closing hours of  probation 2) the cumulative sinful weaknesses and propensities reinforced in the fallen human nature through the power of heredity and exacerbated by nurturing indulgence instead of self-denial—we absolutely need these four essentials provided by the plan of redemption:faith, hope, grace, and prayer.

The Master Prophecy of the Bible Predicts Only Four World Empires

The Master Prophecy of the Bible Predicts Only Four World Empires

 

While Daniel 8: 14 is the Bible’s master prophecy, the mother of all prophecies and promises and the seed of the everlasting gospel (Gen. 3: 15; Rev. 14: 6-7) with its comprehensive plan of redemption was in the Creator’s declaration to Satan, disguised as a serpent, and to Eve who had first yielded, then herself became an agent of temptation by inducing her husband to follow her example in disobeying the command of the Creator. They failed the very first test of faith, love, and loyalty through unquestioning and willing obedience. The highest form of worship and adoration is loving obedience, not elaborate and high ceremonies or effusive lip service!

Meeting the ‘Unprecedented’ with Visions of Future Glory

 

“VISION: Effort and Courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”- Anon

The wise man Solomon wrote:  “Without vision [revelation, N.K.J.V.], the people perish.” Proverbs 29: 18, K.J.V. It is really that simple,–that in order for any one not to perish but have everlasting life is to have vision or prophecy, i.e., in its fullest sense, extent, and comprehensive coverage taught in the plan of redemption of the everlasting gospel and illustrated in detail in the sanctuary doctrine and message. It is God’s antidote to sin and all of its evil consequences, both temporal and eternal. At the center of it all is Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

 Four Angels of Revelation 7: Parenthetical Part of the Seven Seals

QUOTE FOR THIS ISSUE:

“If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

– Sun Tzu, “The Art of War,” Chinese General and Military Strategist

 

    “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain.” 1 Cor. 15: 57, 58, N.K.J.V.

The Bible clearly reveals four general yet overarching truths mankind should have long understood intellectually and spiritually if but for the nefarious work of deception and the woeful combination of pride, obstinacy, thus, sinful ignorance of the willingly deceived. Only then will much of what is intentionally enshrouded in mystery, resulting in confusion, prejudice, fear, hatred, and
