King James Version
10 Say not thou,
What is the cause that the former days
were better than these?
for thou dost not enquire wisely
concerning this.
The harder an article is to write, the more I know Satan doesn't want it written.
He'll put all kinds of deterrents in my way.
Nevertheless, SPIRIT and I have to write it.
No matter how long it takes; or how tough it is.
We've got to get to the bottom of it, or at least, find a solution.
That all may know, be aware, and have that "aha" moment, too.
And not live in the dark, as CHRIST's enemy would have us be.
You see, I was in a "complex" situation.
Thinking about "warring" countries, and all that.
Why does Iran hate Israel so much?
Why does Iran hate America, too?
What are the prospects for peace?
Weren't Israel, and Persia, friends once?
Didn't Persian kings honor Israel's GOD before?
Ah, bet you didn't know that.
But the Bible reveals all.
I needed to check the "root" cause of it all.
And write accordingly, and Scripturally.
But I was presented with so much material.
So many leads, twists, and turns.
Not knowing how to go about it, I do what I usually do.
I gave it a rest.
And prayed, and slept over it.
This morning, the LORD's "light" shone.
I remembered the verse which always sets the tone right:
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
Iran's trying to destroy Israel.
But is Israel destined to be destroyed?
America's helping Israel.
GOD likes that.
So, who do you think will survive all these?
Much of the world is also in conflict.
With many taking a stand against Israel, and America.
Truly signs of the end times.
Shall I focus on the shifting news, and loyalties?
Or shall I focus on GOD's laws, which don't change?
Of course, I always choose GOD.
And here's what He wants us to remember:
Genesis 1:1-3
King James Version
1 In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light:
and there was light.
Genesis 1:14-15
King James Version
14 And God said, Let there be lights
in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth:
and it was so.
Leviticus 25:10
King James Version
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year,
and proclaim liberty throughout all the land
unto all the inhabitants thereof:
it shall be a jubile unto you;
and ye shall return every man unto his possession,
and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Deuteronomy 4:9
King James Version
9 Only take heed to thyself,
and keep thy soul diligently,
lest thou forget the things
which thine eyes have seen,
and lest they depart from thy heart
all the days of thy life:
but teach them thy sons,
and thy sons' sons;
Deuteronomy 17:18-20
King James Version
18 And it shall be,
when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom,
that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book
out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
19 And it shall be with him,
and he shall read therein all the days of his life:
that he may learn to fear the Lord his God,
to keep all the words of this law
and these statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren,
and that he turn not aside from the commandment,
to the right hand, or to the left:
to the end that he may prolong his days
in his kingdom, he, and his children,
in the midst of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32:7
King James Version
7 Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations:
ask thy father, and he will shew thee;
thy elders, and they will tell thee.
Joshua 1:8
King James Version
8 This book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do
according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
1 Chronicles 12:32
King James Version
32 And of the children of Issachar,
which were men that had understanding
of the times, to know what Israel ought to do;
the heads of them were two hundred;
and all their brethren were
at their commandment.
Job 8:8-10
King James Version
8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age,
and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing,
because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee,
and utter words out of their heart?
Psalm 78:1-8
King James Version
78 Give ear, O my people, to my law:
incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable:
I will utter dark sayings of old:
3 Which we have heard and known,
and our fathers have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their children,
shewing to the generation to come
the praises of the Lord,
and his strength,
and his wonderful works that he hath done.
5 For he established a testimony in Jacob,
and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers,
that they should make them known to their children:
6 That the generation to come might know them,
even the children which should be born;
who should arise and declare them to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in God,
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their fathers,
a stubborn and rebellious generation;
a generation that set not their heart aright,
and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
Psalm 139:1-6
King James Version
139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,
and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
King James Version
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
and that which is done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said,
See, this is new?
it hath been already of old time,
which was before us.
Ecclesiastes 1:11
King James Version
11 There is no remembrance of former things;
neither shall there be any remembrance
of things that are to come
with those that shall come after.
Ecclesiastes 3:15
King James Version
15 That which hath been is now;
and that which is to be hath already been;
and God requireth that which is past.
John 1:1-5
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him
was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 3:16-17
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world;
but that the world through him
might be saved.
Acts 17:26-28
King James Version
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men
for to dwell on all the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord,
if haply they might feel after him, and find him,
though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move,
and have our being;
as certain also of your own poets have said,
For we are also his offspring.
Romans 13:1-2
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God:
and they that resist
shall receive to themselves
damnation.
Romans 14:5-9
King James Version
5 One man esteemeth one day above another:
another esteemeth every day alike.
Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day,
regardeth it unto the Lord;
and he that regardeth not the day,
to the Lord he doth not regard it.
He that eateth, eateth to the Lord,
for he giveth God thanks;
and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not,
and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord;
and whether we die, we die unto the Lord:
whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died,
and rose, and revived,
that he might be Lord
both of the dead and living.
Romans 15:4
King James Version
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime
were written for our learning,
that we through patience
and comfort of the scriptures
might have hope.
1 Corinthians 4:4-5
King James Version
4 For I know nothing by myself;
yet am I not hereby justified:
but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time,
until the Lord come, who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness,
and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts:
and then shall every man have praise of God.
1 Corinthians 10:6
King James Version
6 Now these things were our examples,
to the intent we should not lust after evil things,
as they also lusted.
1 Corinthians 10:11-12
King James Version
11 Now all these things
happened unto them for examples:
and they are written for our admonition,
upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall.
Philippians 3:9-12
King James Version
9 And be found in him,
not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that
which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him,
and the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain
unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect:
but I follow after,
if that I may apprehend that
for which also I am apprehended
of Christ Jesus.
Colossians 1:12-14
King James Version
12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us
from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us
into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption
through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
Colossians 1:15-16
King James Version
15 Who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him,
and for him:
Colossians 1:17
King James Version
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
Colossians 1:18-19
King James Version
18 And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell;
Colossians 1:20
King James Version
20 And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself;
by him, I say, whether they be things in earth,
or things in heaven.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
King James Version
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Hebrews 11:1-3
King James Version
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen
were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 13:8
King James Version
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
and to day, and for ever.
2 Peter 1:8-9
King James Version
8 For if these things be in you, and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be
barren nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind,
and cannot see afar off,
and hath forgotten that he was purged
from his old sins.
2 Peter 1:10-11
King James Version
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence
to make your calling and election sure:
for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you
abundantly into the everlasting kingdom
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:12-13
King James Version
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent
to put you always in remembrance of these things,
though ye know them, and be established
in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet,
as long as I am in this tabernacle,
to stir you up by putting you
in remembrance;
2 Peter 1:15-18
King James Version
15 Moreover I will endeavour
that ye may be able after my decease
to have these things always in remembrance.
16 For we have not followed
cunningly devised fables,
when we made known unto you
the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father
honour and glory,
when there came such a voice to him
from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard,
when we were with him in the holy mount.
Revelation 1:1-3
King James Version
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God,
and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,
and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand.
Revelation 1:5-6
King James Version
5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us
from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests
unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion
for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:8
King James Version
8 I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come,
the Almighty.
Revelation 21:5-8
King James Version
5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me,
Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst
of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving,
and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.
Lastly, SPIRIT made me write this two-and-a-half months ago:
"Israel will not be destroyed.
She cannot be destroyed.
She is GOD's holy nation."
