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 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

The Four Beasts Lead the Heavenly Worship of the Son, Never of the Sun
 
It’s that time of year.  So, as true believers and loyal disciples of Christ, let us do His bidding, which, in itself, is a divine enabling to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world,” to which He added: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matt. 5: 13-16.
 
What is it? An urgent reminder of a pressing, present truth, thus, expectedly unpopular and unsavory to far too many now in these waning days of year 2016 but more critically, in these closing hours of earth’s probation—the antitype of Noah’s days.

Lest We Forget What Right Really Matters at the End

Lest We Forget What Right Really Matters at the End

 

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Representative, who suddenly resigned as DNC chairwoman after a trove of emails showed party officials conspiring to sabotage the campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, was quoted, saying, “the most sacred right we share as Americans [is] the right to vote.”

But according to Bible prophecy, church history of the Old World, and American history that saw its birth in the New World, the most sacred right every human being shares across the racial, cultural, political, financial, particularly religious divisions, globally, is the divinely-endowed, thus, inalienable right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience! Have we forgotten so soon?
