God’s Expanded Number 7 Plan

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA 

 Biblical Numerology: NUMBER SEVEN – Part 3

God’s Expanded Number 7 Plan

 

“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”-

Jesus Christ to His disciples, Matthew 24: 6, 7, N.K.J.V.

Americans celebrated, many in the same modern hedonistic spirit of other holiday celebrations and festivities, “eating, drinking, and surfeiting” as the antediluvians did just before the Flood but with special emphasis on gorging on unhealthy (non-vegetarian) hot dogs and gleefully watching their hard-earned dollars literally go up in flames they themselves lit in—fireworks—while this, according to the Hunger Project, is  the stomach-churning reality taking place in the midst of the food glut in America, the world’s largest Christian nation:

Five are Foolish, Five Wise of the Ten Virgins – Part 2

 FRIDAY MORNING MANNA 

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FIVE Part II

Five are Foolish, Five Wise of the Ten Virgins – Part 2

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

And he is oft the wisest man,

Who is not wise at all.

William Wordsworth, The Oak and the Broom

————

       Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet himSee Matthew 25: 1-13.  

   “Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly;

 Five are Foolish, Five Wise of the Ten Virgins

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Some are wise, and some are otherwise.

-Old Proverb, Anon

 

Being a spiritual “virgin” does not automatically guarantee predestinated irreversibility that one somehow is rendered incapable of yielding to temptation and is above   foolishness all because of two stark realities: Satan is yet to launch his final campaign in desperate confederacy with all his agencies of evil spirits and wicked men against the faithful of the remnant church, we are still making choices, and, as free moral agents, are capable of changing our minds and altering our previous and present covenants and even firm convictions.

Noah, Elijah, Jonah & John the Baptist’s Message: Repent!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;

He who would search for pearls, must dive below.

-JOHN DRYDEN, All For Love

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus, “testing Him, asked that He should show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, ‘When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; ‘and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part l

 

    And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4: 12, K.J.V.

The prophet Daniel refers to Jesus Christ only once as “the one saint” (margin, Palmoni).  In a literal translation of the first part of the verse 13 of Daniel chapter 8, just before introducing the 2300-day prophecy in verse 14, F. C. Gilbert, a converted Jew, in his book, Practical Lessons for the Church Today (1902, 1914), pp. 606-608, says:

      “The Hebrew word, Palmoni, is a contracted word. It contains the elements of two Hebrew words. One isPele, and the other Man-na. The Hebrew word, Pele, means wonderful. See Isaiah 9: 6. The word Man-na, means numbered.  See Daniel 5: 25, 26. So this contracted word Palmoni, literally means Wonderful Numberer. This Wonderful Numberer is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ.  See Isaiah 9: 6.”

Revelation 11: Solid Food not Milk

 

The Peril of Not Progressing. The Business Inside reports that: “Strains in the global labor market could lead to a surplus of up to 5 million low-skill workers and a shortage of up to 5 million high-and-medium-skilled-workers by 2020, according to a recent report by the McKinskey Global Institute (MGI).

     MGI concluded that unless there is an immediate and massive global effort to improve worker skills, there will be ‘far too few workers with the advanced skills needed to drive a high-productivity economy and far too few job opportunities for low skill workers.” www.businessinsider.com/high-silled-worker-shortage-2012-6.

 HOW MANY CLASSES OF ANIMALS ARE THERE? – Part V

 

Diet and exercise, both requiring work, are the two major factors vital to staying healthy and fit as long as mortally possible—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and everything else in the eight (some say, ten) laws of health outside of DNA, which, basically, is beyond our control. However, wiseGEEK in the internet says, “Many people are used to thinking of DNA as unchanging programming that governs all the body’s responses for the rest of a person’s life. In essence, certain things about our DNA are unlikely to change, ever. There are a number of outside things that could result in minor change, however. As you age, for instance, you may note DNA expression changes in a variety of ways. Hair gets gray, skin gets wrinkly, and diseases are common.”

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER TWO – Part XIV

TWO WORLDS, TWO SCHOOLS, THE HERE AND HEREAFTER

“If you would be a saint in heaven, you must first be a saint on earth.” And no one need  die first and wait for the church-invented process for sainthood to kick in, for, “Heaven is to begin on this earth.  When the Lord’s people are filled with meekness and tenderness, they will realize that His banner over them is love, and His fruit will be sweet to their taste. They will make a heaven below in which to prepare for heaven above.” (Words in quotes by E. G. White, Sons & Daughters, p. 112)

 In the real, eternity-determining grand scheme of things, according to God’s Word, this fallen, cursed world of ours—the one planet in rebellion throughout the perfect universe, is not a grand parade-ground, a dream-like stroll through the park, a glitzy fashion show, a pull-out-the-stops party place, a global carnival, a romantic cruise through the warm tourists spots, or a winter wonderland—although the master deceiver wants it so perceived and imagined. Ask all who are suffering; they’ll tell you the stark truth by experience.
