Genesis 1:1    PG 1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

IN THE BEGINNING GOD....IF WE ARE TO FIND MEANING IN LIFE 

WE BEGIN WITH GOD, FOR GOD WAS IN THE BEGINNING AND HE IS 

THE SOURCE OF ALL CREATION.  HE IS THE CREATOR AND WE ARE 

HIS CREATURES.



Genesis 1:6    PG 1

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the 

waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

FIRMAMENT - GOD'S SUPERDOME, A DOME ENCLOSING THE WHOLE 

EARTH - WOW!  NEW ORLEANS SUPERDOME IS NOT SO SUPER 

COMPARED TO GOD'S SUPERDOME.



"God said" Gen 1:3,6,9,11,14,20,24,26.

WHEN GOD SAID SOMETHING THAT WAS IT.  ONLY MAN AND FALLEN   

ANGELS CAN FAIL TO MAKE AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO WHAT     

GOD SAYS.  THOSE INVOLVED IN THE OCCULT BELIEVE THERE ARE  

CREATIVE FORCES RELEASED WHEN WORDS ARE SPOKEN.  THE WHOLE 

CREATION CAME TO BE NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT GOD SAID BUT 

BECAUSE IT WAS GOD WHO SAID IT.

HOW WILL I RESPOND TO WHAT GOD SAID?



Genesis 1:26   PG 2

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our 

likeness: and let them have dominion over ...all the 

earth...

PLURAL PRONOUNS US AND OUR = FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT

MAN WAS CREATED TO HAVE DOMINION OVER GOD'S CREATION - 

WOW!



Genesis 1:27   PG 2

So God created man in his <own> image, in the image of God 

created he him; male and female created he them.

IMAGE - A REPRODUCTION OR IMITATION OF THE FORM OF A 

PERSON OR THING; AN IMITATION IN SOLID FORM: STATUE; EXACT 

LIKENESS, SEMBLANCE.

HOW COULD WE KNOW THAT WE ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD 

AND EVER HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH OUR SELF IMAGE?  SELF IS 

THE PROBLEM!  JESUS EMPTIED HIMSELF.  HE WAS ALWAYS IN 

PERFECT TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO THE FATHER.  WE NEED TO GET RID 

OF OUR PRIDE.  PRIDE IS NOT A VIRTUE - IT IS A SIN.  IF WE  

WILL EMPTY OURSELF, IF WE WILL HUMBLE OURSELF, GOD WILL 

LIFT US UP.  IF WE LIFT OURSELF UP, WE WILL SURELY FALL.

John the Baptist said as he spoke of Jesus - He must 

increase but I must decrease.  WHO CONTROLS MY LIFE - ME 

OR JESUS?  DO I WANT TO CONTROL OR DO I WANT HIM TO 

CONTROL?



Genesis 1:31   PG 3

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, <it 

was> very good....

GOD DOESN'T MAKE JUNK - EVEN YOU AND ME - WE ARE NOT JUNK.



Genesis 2:3  PG 3

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: 

because that in it he had rested from all his work which 

God created and made.

GOD GAVE US AN EXAMPLE - WE NEED TO REST ONE DAY PER WEEK.  

ON THAT DAY AND EVERY DAY - FIND OUR REST IN HIM.



Genesis 2:7  PG 4

And the LORD God formed man <of> the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man 

became a living soul.

MAN IS DIFFERENT FROM, AND ABOVE ANY ANIMAL.  HE IS 

CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.  HE HAS A FREE WILL.  HE CAN 

CHOOSE TO DO OR NOT DO WHAT GOD SAYS.  HE HAS A SOUL.  HE   

IS AN ETERNAL BEING.  ANIMAL RIGHTS FOLKS AND HINDU 

REINCARNATION BELIEFS ARE FOOLISH.



Genesis 2:8   PG 4

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and 

there he put the man whom he had formed.

Genesis 2:15  PG 4

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden 

of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

WORK IS A BLESSING.  MAN WAS CREATED TO WORK.  HE HAD 

MEANINGFUL WORK TO DO BEFORE THE FALL AND ANY SUBSEQUENT 

CURSE.



Genesis 2:18   PG 4

And the LORD God said, <It is> not good that the man 

should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

MEN NEED HELP!  GOD KNEW IT WAS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE 

ALONE.  THAT IS WHY HE CREATED WOMEN TO HELP MEN.  IT 

FOLLOWS THAT IN GENERAL MEN WILL NOT BE HAPPY, PRODUCTIVE 

AND FULFILLED WITHOUT A WOMAN TO HELP HIM.  IT ALSO 

FOLLOWS THAT WOMEN IN GENERAL WILL BE MOST HAPPY IF THEY 

ARE HELPING THEIR HELPLESS MAN.  PROBABLY THEY SHOULDN'T 

BE TOO OBVIOUS ABOUT HIS HELPLESSNESS.  PROBABLY THE MAN 

SHOULD NOT BE TOO OBVIOUS ABOUT HIS AUTHORITY OVER THE 

WOMAN SINCE IT IS HE WHO IS HELPLESS.  THIS IS PROBABLY 

THE MAIN REASON MARRIAGES FAIL.  THE WOMAN DOES NOT WANT 

TO SUBMIT TO THE AUTHORITY OF SOMEONE WHO NEEDS SO MUCH 

HELP.  THE HELPLESS MAN DOESN'T APPRECIATE HOW HELPLESS HE 

IS.



Genesis 2:24-25   PG 5

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and 

shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.  

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were 

not ashamed.

WHEN YOU MARRY CUT THE TIES WITH YOUR PARENT'S INFLUENCE 

ON YOUR LIFE.  THAT ENDS THEIR AUTHORITY.  IT DOES NOT END 

YOUR DUTY TO HONOR AND RESPECT THEM.   BUT IT DOES END 

THEIR AUTHORITY OVER YOU.



Genesis 3:5 - ...ye shall be as gods.

THIS IS THE LIE.  IT FORMS FUNDAMENTAL THESIS OF HINDUISM, 

BUDDHISM, MORMONISM, NEW AGE MOVEMENT, GLOBALISM, 

REINCARNATION, THE OCCULT AND ALMOST EVERY OTHER ISM OTHER 

THAN ORTHODOX JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY.  LEARN TO 

RECOGNIZE THIS LIE REGARDLESS OF WHICH OF THE THOUSANDS OF 

NEW SUGAR COATINGS THAT SATAN PUTS OVER THIS BASIC 

FUNDAMENTAL LIE DESIGNED TO TAKE YOU TO HELL.



Genesis 3:6   PG 5

And when the woman saw that the tree <was> good for food, 

and that it <was> pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be 

desired to make <one> wise, she took of the fruit thereof, 

and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and 

he did eat.

ADAM WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE WITH EVE WHEN SATAN WAS 

TEMPTING EVE.  THE GUTLESS WONDER DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO 

STOP IT.  IT WAS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO STOP IT.



Genesis 3:15 - 16   PG 5 -6

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and 

between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, 

and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow 

and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth 

children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he 

shall rule over thee.



THE CURSES PUT MEN AND WOMEN IN CONFLICT.  THE PERFECT 

SITUATION BETWEEN MAN AND CREATION WAS LOST.  SATAN TOOK 

DOMINION.  ONLY JESUS CAN RESTORE IT.









JAN 2   GEN 4:1 - 5:32                   PG 7 -10



Genesis 4:9    PG 7

  ...<Am> I my brother's keeper?

THE ANSWER IS YES.  JESUS PAID THE ENTIRE PRICE FOR ALL 

THE SINS OF ALL MEN.  DO I CARE THAT PEOPLE FOR WHOM MY 

LORD PAID SUCH A PRICE MAY BE LOST?  WILL MY LIFE CAUSE 

ANY TO ASK THE REASON OF THE HOPE THAT IS WITHIN ME?  AM I 

READY TO GIVE THEM THE ANSWER?





WHY DID PEOPLE LIVE SO LONG BEFORE THE FLOOD?  PROBABLY 

THE FIRMAMENT SHIELDED MEN FROM THE HARMFUL RADIATION 

WHICH CAUSED AGING.  GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS IMAGE AND 

INTENDED FOR MAN TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE TREE OF LIFE AND 

LIVE FOREVER.  WE CAN KNOW, ON THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S WORD  

THAT THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.  WHERE WILL I SPEND 

ETERNITY?



Genesis 5:24   PG 10

And Enoch walked with God: and he <was> not; for God took 

him.

ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD.  AM I WALKING WITH GOD OR AWAY FROM 

HIM?  ENOCH DID NOT DIE.  GOD TOOK HIM.

Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed unto men [once to 

die], but after this the judgment:

ELIJAH IS THE ONLY OTHER MAN WHO DID NOT DIE.  PERHAPS 

ENOCH AND ELIJAH ARE GOD'S 2 SPECIAL WITNESSES IN THE 

TRIBULATION WHO STAND POWERFULLY AGAINST ANTICHRIST.









JAN 3   GEN 6:1 - 9:29                PG 11 - 16



Genesis 6:4     PG 11

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also 

after that, when the sons of God came in unto the 

daughters of men, and they bare <children> to them, the 

same <became> mighty men which <were> of old, men of 

renown.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT IDEAS ON WHAT THIS MEANS.  SOME 

BELIEVE THAT THE SONS OF GOD WERE FALLEN ANGELS WHO TOOK 

HUMAN WIVES.  THIS WAS GROSS SIN SINCE ANGELS WERE NOT TO 

TAKE WIVES.  JESUS INSTRUCTED IN Matthew 22:30 - "For in 

the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in 

marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."  WHEN 

YOU SEE THE "SONS OF GOD" REFERENCES IN JOB YOU SEE WHY 

SUCH BELIEF COULD BE FACTUAL.

Job 1:6 - Now there was a day when the [sons of God] came 

to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also 

among them.

Job 2:1 - Again there was a day when the [sons of God] 

came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came 

also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Job 38:4 & 7 - Where wast thou when I laid the foundations 

of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. &  When 

the morning stars sang together, and all the [sons of God] 

shouted for joy?

THE ONLY REASON IT MAY BE IMPORTANT IS THAT ONE OF THE 

PARTICULAR END TIME SIGNS WHICH JESUS GAVE TO US IS THAT 

IT WOULD BE AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH.  IT MAY BE THAT 

THESE UNHOLY DEMONIC UNIONS PRODUCED THE GIANTS.  OR IT 

MAY JUST BE THE GROSS WICKEDNESS IN GENERAL WHICH MARKED 

NOAH'S TIME.  THE HEBREW WORD FOR GIANT IS NEPHIYL, WHICH 

SIMPLY MEANS A BULLY TYRANT, OR GIANT.



Genesis 6:5-6   PG 11

And God saw that the wickedness of man <was> great in the 

earth, and <that> every imagination of the thoughts of his 

heart <was> only evil continually.  And it repented the 

LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him 

at his heart.

EVERY THOUGHT WAS ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY.



Genesis 6:8  PG 11

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.



Genesis 7:5   PG 11

And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded 

him.

WOULD I DO ALL THE LORD'S COMMANDS? - NOAH WORKED 100 

YEARS BEING RIDICULED BY EVERYONE TO BUILD THE ARK.



Genesis 7:16

And they that went in, went in male and female of all 

flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.



FLOOD WATERS COVERED THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN TOPS BY OVER 20 

FEET.  MANY IRREFUTABLE GEOLOGICAL PROOFS EXIST TO MARK 

THE GREAT FLOOD AS AN HISTORICAL FACT.  HOW ELSE CAN ONE 

FIND MARINE FOSSILS AT ALTITUDES OF OVER 15,000 FEET ABOVE 

SEA LEVEL?  HOW ELSE CAN THE HIGH ELEVATION TAR PITS 

CONTAIN THE BONES OF PREDATOR AND PREY ALIKE?



Genesis 8:4   PG 14

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the 

seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of 

Ararat.

THE ARK IS HIGH ON MT. ARARAT TO THIS DAY.  IT HAS BEEN 

PHOTOGRAPHED BY AIR AND SATELLITE.  PERHAPS THE "BREAK-UP"  

OF THE SOVIET UNION WILL FINALLY ALLOW ARCHAEOLOGICAL 

VERIFICATION.



Genesis 8:15 - 20  PG 14

And God spake unto Noah,....Go forth of the ark,....And 

Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' 

wives with him: Every beast, .....after their kinds, went 

forth out of the ark.  And Noah builded an altar unto the 

LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean 

fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

CONSIDER NOAH'S OBEDIENCE - 100 YEARS OF HARD LABOR AND 

RIDICULE BY HIS PEERS IN BUILDING THE ARK, 300 DAYS ON THE 

ARK, AND WAITED 56 DAYS AFTER THE GROUND WAS DRY UNTIL GOD 

TOLD HIM TO LEAVE THE ARK.  THE FIRST THING HE DOES UPON 

LEAVING THE ARK IS TO BUILD AN ALTER AND MAKE SACRIFICE TO 

GOD.



Genesis 8:21   PG 14 - 15

... and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse 

the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of 

man's heart <is> evil from his youth; neither will I again 

smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

THE EARTH WILL NEVER AGAIN BE DESTROYED.  MAN NOW HAS 

NUCLEAR CAPABILITY OF DESTROYING ALL LIFE ON EARTH; 

HOWEVER, GOD WILL NOT ALLOW IT.  WE CAN FORGET ABOUT ALL 

OF THE SCIENTISTS WHO PREDICT DOOM.  OZONE DEPLETION,       

GLOBAL WARMING, etc., IS ALL A BUNCH OF HORSEFEATHERS.  WE 

SHOULD NOT TRASH THE ENVIRONMENT BUT GOD WILL NOT ALLOW 

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PLANET.  ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMISM 

ILLUSTRATES THE HEIGHT OF HUMAN VANITY AND PLAYS RIGHT 

INTO THE HANDS OF ANTICHRIST.  GOD WILL INTERVENE AT THE 

LORD'S SECOND COMING TO PREVENT THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL 

FLESH BY ANTICHRIST.  THE IMAGINATION OF MAN'S HEART IS 

EVIL FROM HIS YOUTH.  THIS IS WHY WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN BY 

THE SPIRIT OF GOD.  OTHERWISE WE CANNOT HELP BUT THINK AND 

DO EVIL.  MAN'S GREATEST PROBLEM IS THAT HE TRIES TO HIDE 

OR EXCUSE HIS SIN, JUST LIKE THE ALCOHOLIC DENIES THAT HE 

HAS A DRINKING PROBLEM.  WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT TO 

CONVINCE US OF OUR SINS AND LEAD US TO CONFESS THEM AND 

HELP US REPENT FROM OUR SINS.  JESUS PAID THE FULL PRICE 

FOR ALL OF OUR SINS BUT WE STILL HAVE TO CONFESS AND 

REPENT.  THIS WE CANNOT DO WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT.



Genesis 9:1-2   PG 15

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be 

fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon 

every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, 

upon all that moveth <upon> the earth, and upon all the 

fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.

DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN BACK DOWN ANY WILD ANIMAL?  GOD HAS 

PUT THE FEAR OF HUMANS INTO THE HEART OF EVERY ANIMAL.  

THE ANIMAL MUST FEAR YOU.  THE ANIMAL SOMEHOW KNOWS IF YOU 

FEAR IT.  IF YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS PUT THE FEAR OF YOU 

INTO THAT ANIMAL, AND HAVE FAITH TO OVERCOME YOUR FEAR, 

YOU CAN COMMAND THAT ANIMAL TO STOP ITS CHARGE IN THE NAME 

OF JESUS AND IT WILL STOP.



Genesis 9:3   PG 15

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even 

as the green herb have I given you all things.

MAN WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED TO BE VEGETARIAN.  IT MAY EVEN 

BE MORE HEALTHY.  BUT GOD SAID WE CAN EAT MEAT.  SINCE THE 

TIME OF NOAH, GOD HAS SAID THAT MAN CAN EAT MEAT AS WELL 

AS VEGETABLES.  VEGETARIANS ARE NO MORE OR NO LESS HOLY 

THAN THE MEAT EATERS.



Genesis 9:5    PG 15

And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the 

hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of 

man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the 

life of man.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT QUESTIONS ANSWERED HERE.











JAN 4  GEN. 10:1 - 11:32               PG 17 - 22



In skipping over the genealogies of chapter 10 we should 

look at Gen 10:8-10 to understand why God had to do what 

he did in chapter 11.



Genesis 10:8-10   PG 19

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the 

earth.  He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore 

it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the 

LORD.  And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and 

Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.



DO YOU REMEMBER THAT NOAH CURSED HIS SON HAM AND SAID THAT 

HAM'S DESCENDANTS WOULD BE SLAVES TO EVERYONE, BECAUSE OF 

HAM'S GROSS SIN.  HAM BEGAT CUSH.  CUSH BEGAT NIMROD WHOSE 

NAME IN HEBREW MEANS "WE WILL REBEL".  THIS POINTS TO 

VIOLENT AND OPEN REBELLION AGAINST GOD.  NO DOUBT HAM TOLD 

CUSH ABOUT THE CURSE, AND CUSH DIDN'T LIKE IT TO THE POINT 

HE NAMED HIS SON "WE WILL REBEL."

I BELIEVE WE BEGIN TO SEE THE SEEDS OF ANTICHRIST RIGHT 

HERE.  NIMROD BECAME A MIGHTY ONE IN THE EARTH BY BOLD AND 

DARING DEEDS.  HIS DEEDS WERE TO HUNT MEN BY TYRANNY AND 

FORCE AND CONFUSION ACCORDING TO THE MEANING OF THE HEBREW 

WORDS USED IN THE TEXT AND ACCORDING TO THE FIRST CENTURY 

HISTORIAN, JOSEPHUS.  HE BUILT BABEL AND HENCE, IN 

SCRIPTURE, BABYLON MEANS MORE THAN THE CAPITOL CITY OF 

CHALDEA.  BABYLON MEANS TYRANNY AND CONFUSION AND OPEN 

REBELLION AGAINST GOD.  NIMROD WAS OBSESSED WITH RAGE 

AGAINST THE CURSE AND PROPHESY OF NOAH REGARDING HIM AND 

HIS GENERATIONS.  HE WOULD NOT BE A SLAVE.  HE WOULD HUNT 

SLAVES.  HE LORDED IT OVER OTHERS, HUNTING AND DESTROYING 

ALL WHO OPPOSED HIM IN HIS TYRANNY.  HE PERSUADED MEN, 

ACCORDING TO JOSEPHUS, NOT TO ASCRIBE THEIR HAPPINESS TO 

GOD, BUT TO HIM.  HE TAUGHT MEN TO CENTRALIZE AND OPENLY 

DEFIED GOD TO SEND ANOTHER FLOOD.

HE ESTABLISHED THE FIRST KINGDOM AND ESTABLISHED THE FIRST 

GREAT UNIVERSAL RELIGION OPPOSING GOD SINCE THE FLOOD.  

THIS WAS DONE OPENLY "before the Lord" IN OPEN DEFIANCE TO 

GOD.  HIS WIFE SEMIRAMIS BECAME PREGNANT AFTER HIS DEATH 

AND WAS THE UNWED MOTHER OF TAMMUZ.  THE ROOTS OF ALMOST 

ALL ANCIENT RELIGIONS AND MANY MODERN ONES INCLUDING THE 

NEW AGE MOVEMENT CAN BE TRACED TO THESE THREE PEOPLE 

NIMROD, SEMIRAMIS, AND TAMMUZ.  JUST A FEW ARE THE ANCIENT 

BABYLONIAN SUN GOD, AND HIS WIFE ISHTAR OR APHRODITE OR 

VENUS; OSIRIS AND ISIS OF THE EGYPTIANS, AS WELL AS THE 

HINDU GODS, ALL REINCARNATION RELIGIONS, BUDDHISTS, AND 

ALL OF THE OCCULT RELIGIONS INCLUDING MOTHER EARTH CAN 

TRACE THEIR ROOTS TO NIMROD.

YOU SEE THE WAY NIMROD WAS GOING, GOD HAD A REAL PROBLEM 

WITH WHAT WAS GOING ON IN NIMROD'S CROWN JEWEL CITY OF 

BABEL.  THE WAY NIMROD WAS GOING, THE RIGHTEOUS GOD 

FEARING CHILDREN OF SHEM AND JAPHET DID NOT STAND A CHANCE 

UNLESS GOD SOMEHOW DIRECTLY INTERVENED ON THEIR BEHALF.

Genesis 11:5-9   PG 17 -18

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, 

which the children of men builded.  And the LORD said, 

Behold, the people <is> one, and they have all one 

language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will 

be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, 

that they may not understand one another's speech.  So the 

LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of 

all the earth: and they left off to build the city.  

Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD 

did there confound the language of all the earth: and from 

thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of 

all the earth.



CAN YOU SEE THE MERCY OF GOD PROTECTING HIS PEOPLE?



CAN WE SEE WHAT NIMROD STARTED BEING CARRIED ON TODAY?



ARE POLITICAL LEADERS CALLING FOR CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT?



DO POLITICAL LEADERS SEEM TO BE CALLING FOR A GLOBAL OR 

ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT?



CHRISTIANS MUST KNOW THAT ANY WORLD GOVERNMENT PRIOR TO 

THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST WILL BE HEADED BY 

ANTICHRIST.









JAN 5   GEN 12:1 - 14:20                    PG 23 - 28



Genesis 12:3   PG 24

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that 

curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

ABRAHAM SETTLED IN HEBRON AND WAS THE FATHER OF THE 

HEBREWS OR THE FATHER OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL.  THOSE WHO 

BLESS THE JEWS WILL BE BLESSED BY GOD.  THOSE WHO CURSE 

THE JEWS WILL BE CURSED BY GOD.  GOD'S PROMISE TO ABRAHAM 

STANDS FOREVER.



IT IS VITAL THAT OUR NATION NEVER TURN ITS BACK ON ISRAEL.  

PROBABLY THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN SO GREATLY BLESSED BY 

GOD BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY MORE THAN ANY OTHER HAS HELPED TO 

ESTABLISH AND SUSTAIN THE NATION OF ISRAEL IN PALESTINE.  

ISRAEL IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT ALLY.



Genesis 12:7   PG 24

And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed 

will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto 

the LORD, who appeared unto him.

GOD GAVE PALESTINE TO THE JEWS FOREVER. (GEN 13:15)

Genesis 13:13   PG 26

But the men of Sodom <were> wicked and sinners before the 

LORD exceedingly.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT AN ALTERNATE LIFESTYLE.  IT IS 

EXCEEDINGLY SINFUL.  IN ALL OF HISTORY YOU WILL NOT FIND 

ANY PROMINENT NATION WHICH WAS NOT SWIFTLY JUDGED AND 

DESTROYED WHEN THE HOMOSEXUALS CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET.



Genesis 13:18   PG 26

Then Abram removed <his> tent, and came and dwelt in the 

plain of Mamre, which <is> in Hebron, and built there an 

altar unto the LORD.

THIS IS WHERE WE GET THE TERM HEBREW.



Genesis 14:18   PG 28

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and 

wine: and he <was> the priest of the most high God.

SOME THINK MELCHIZEDEK MAY HAVE BEEN A PREINCARNATE 

APPEARANCE OF JESUS.  THERE ARE OVER 40 OLD TESTAMENT 

APPEARANCES OF JESUS BEFORE HIS BIRTH OF WHICH WE MAY BE 

CERTAIN IT WAS JESUS.  IT IS QUITE INTERESTING TO BE 

WATCHING CLOSELY FOR THESE APPEARANCES.  HERE IS A HINT 

HOW YOU CAN SPOT THESE PREINCARNATE APPEARANCES OF JESUS 

CHRIST IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.  NO ANGEL OF GOD WILL EVER 

EXCEPT WORSHIP.  WORSHIP IS DUE JESUS SO HE WILL NOT 

REFUSE IT.  MELCHIZEDEK'S NAME MEANS KING OF 

RIGHTEOUSNESS, KING OF SALEM OR KING OF PEACE, AND THE 

PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.  ABRAHAM PAID HIM A TITHE.  

GIVE GOD THE TOP 10% AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE FINANCIAL 

PROBLEMS.  TRY IT.  GOD WILL PROVE IT WORKS TO YOU.









JAN 6   GEN 15:1 - 17:27                      PG 29 - 34



Genesis 15:1   PG 29

After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in 

a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I <am> thy shield, 

<and> thy exceeding great reward.

IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.  THE LORD IS ALL WE 

NEED.  IF GOD IS OUR SHIELD - WHY FEAR?   THERE IS NO 

GREATER REWARD THAN GOD HIMSELF.



Genesis 15:6  PG 30

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for 

righteousness.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT FROM GOD.  NO MAN IS RIGHTEOUS.  

WE ALL HAVE SINNED, AND ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY 

RAGS TO GOD.  YET GOD CAN COUNT US RIGHTEOUS, THROUGH 

FAITH.  WE ARE COUNTED RIGHTEOUS BY GOD THE SAME WAY 

ABRAHAM WAS.  WE BELIEVE GOD, WE BELIEVE WHAT GOD SAID, WE 

BELIEVE JESUS PAID THE PRICE REQUIRED FOR OUR SINS.  

RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN ONLY COME FROM GOD TO MAN THROUGH FAITH.

SINCE GOD HIMSELF BECAME THE PERFECT LAMB TO WHICH ALL OF 

MOSSES' BLOOD SACRIFICES POINTED, THAT FAITH MUST BE IN 

JESUS CHRIST.









JAN 7   GEN 18:1 - 19:38                    PG 34 - 35



Genesis 18:13-14    PG 35

And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, 

saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?  

Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed 

I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, 

and Sarah shall have a son.

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR GOD TO 

DO.  GOD CAN'T LIE.  NOTHING ELSE IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD.  

NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD.



Genesis 18:18   PG 35

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty 

nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed 

in him?

ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH HAVE INDEED BEEN BLESSED BY 

ISRAEL THE NATION OF ABRAHAM.  JESUS CAME FROM THE 

ABRAHAM'S FAMILY THROUGH MARY.  JESUS WAS BORN A JEW.



Genesis 18:19   PG 36

For I know him, that he will command his children and his 

household after him, and they shall keep the way of the 

LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring 

upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

HOW DOES MY FAMILY KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD?

DO I DO JUSTLY AND EXERCISE GOOD JUDGMENT IN HONEST FAIR 

DEALING WITH ALL THOSE WITH WHOM I COME IN CONTACT?



Genesis 18:20  PG 36

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah 

is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

HOMOSEXUALITY IS A VERY GRIEVOUS SIN.  THROUGHOUT ALL 

HISTORY CIVILIZATIONS AND CULTURES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED AS 

SOON AS THIS VERY GRIEVOUS SIN WAS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE AS 

JUST AN "ALTERNATE LIFESTYLE".



Genesis 18:23  PG 36

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy 

the righteous with the wicked?

GOD WILL WITHHOLD JUDGMENT FOR THE SAKE OF A FEW RIGHTEOUS 

PEOPLE.  2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, which are 

called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and 

seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I 

hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will 

heal their land.

MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE OUR NATION IS ON A COLLISION COURSE 

WITH THE JUDGMENT OF GOD.  THERE ARE CERTAINLY GOOD 

REASONS TO BELIEVE THIS.  BEFORE GOD'S JUDGMENT WE MAY 

LIKELY SEE PERSECUTION OF BIBLE BELIEVING JEWS AND 

CHRISTIANS.  YET GOD DOES NOT DESTROY THE RIGHTEOUS WITH 

THE WICKED.  IT IS GOD'S PEOPLE, EVEN A SMALL SEEMINGLY 

HELPLESS FEW, WHO IF THEY HUMBLE THEMSELVES, PRAY, SEEK 

GOD, AND REPENT OF THEIR SINS CAN SAVE THEIR COUNTRY.









JAN 8   GEN 20:1 - 21:21                 PG 39 - 44



Genesis 20:6 - 7  PG 40

And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou 

didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also 

withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered 

I thee not to touch her.  Now therefore restore the man 

<his> wife; for he <is> a prophet, and he shall pray for 

thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore <her> not, 

know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that 

<are> thine.

GOD PROTECTS ABRAHAM HIS PROPHET EVEN THOUGH ABRAHAM HAS 

NOT DEALT WITH INTEGRITY TOWARD ABIMELECH.



Genesis 20:13   PG 40 -41

And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my 

father's house, that I said unto her, This <is> thy 

kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place 

whither we shall come, say of me, He <is> my brother.

ABRAHAM DEFENDS SARAH'S HONOR AND ADMITS HE TOLD SARAH 

WHAT TO SAY.



Genesis 21:2   PG 41

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old 

age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.  TRULY, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR 

GOD.  THE ONLY THING GOD CAN'T DO IS LIE.  ABE=100 SARA=90



Genesis 21:12  PG 43

And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy 

sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in 

all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her 

voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

GOD MAKES IT CLEAR THAT ISAAC, NOT ISHMAEL, INHERITS ALL 

THAT GOD HAD PROMISED TO ABRAHAM FOR EVER.  PALESTINE IS 

GIVEN BY GOD TO ISRAEL NOT THE ARAB DECEDENTS OF ISHMAEL.



JAN 9   GEN 22:1 - 23:20                PG 44 - 47



Genesis 22:2   PG 44

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only <son> Isaac, 

whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; 

and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the 

mountains which I will tell thee of.

WOW WHAT A TEST!  WE MUST LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL ELSE.  WHAT 

AN EXAMPLE OF FAITH FOR US ALL.  CALVARY IS THE HIGHEST 

PEAK IN THE LAND OF MORIAH WHERE GOD WOULD SACRIFICE HIS 

ONLY SON JESUS BECAUSE OF OUR SINS.  DO I HAVE SUCH FAITH 

AND TRUST IN GOD?



Genesis 22:3   PG 44

And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his 

ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his 

son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose 

up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

ABRAHAM IMMEDIATELY OBEYS.  HIS TEST IS PROBABLY MORE 

DIFFICULT THAN ANY TEST WE COULD EVER FACE AND HE 

IMMEDIATELY OBEYS.  WHAT A GREAT EXAMPLE OF FAITH AND 

TRUST IN GOD.



Genesis 22:8   PG 44

And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb 

for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

PROPHESY -  God will provide himself a lamb... POINTING TO 

THE SACRIFICE OF GOD'S ONLY SON JESUS ON THIS SAME PLACE 

BECAUSE OF OUR SINS.  SUCH A GREAT PRICE WAS PAID BY GOD 

BECAUSE OF OUR SINS.  HIS GRACE IS NOT CHEAP GRACE.  HE 

CHECKED ABRAHAM'S FAITH AND TRUST BUT ULTIMATELY HE DID 

NOT REQUIRE ABRAHAM TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE HE WOULD MAKE 

HIMSELF HERE AT CALVARY.



Genesis 22:10 - 12   PG 45

And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife 

to slay his son.  And the angel of the LORD called unto 

him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he 

said, Here <am> I.  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon 

the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I 

know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld 

thy son, thine only <son> from me.

COULD I PASS SUCH A TEST?



Genesis 22:14  PG 45  Jehovahjireh: THE LORD WILL PROVIDE.



Genesis 22:16   PG 45

And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for 

because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld 

thy son, thine only <son>:  That in blessing I will bless 

thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed.....

GOD SAID THAT HE WOULD SWEAR BY HIMSELF.  THAT IS AS 

CERTAIN AS ANYTHING COULD POSSIBLY BE.  THE HIGHEST 

AUTHORITY AND MAJESTY POSSIBLE IS GOD HIMSELF.









JAN 10  GEN 24:1 - 24:67               PG 47 - 50



Genesis 24:2   PG 47

And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, 

that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy 

hand under my thigh:  ACCORDING TO JEWISH AND ORIENTAL 

TRADITION THIS WAS A SACRED ACT OF SUBMISSION OF THE ONE 

WHO WAS CALLED TO PLACE THE HAND UNDER THE THIGH.



Genesis 24:12  PG 48

And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, 

send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my 

master Abraham.  ABRAHAM HAD OBVIOUSLY SHARED HIS FAITH IN 

GOD WITH HIS CHIEF STEWARD.  GOD ANSWERS HIS PRAYER BEFORE 

HE HAS FINISHED PRAYING.



Genesis 24:50-51   PG 49

Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing 

proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or 

good.  Behold, Rebekah <is> before thee, take <her>, and 

go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD 

hath spoken.   LABAN AND BETHUEL RESPECTED THE LORD. THEY 

DID NOT HESITATE TO LET REBEKAH GO WITH ABRAHAM'S SERVANT 

WHEN THEY HEARD THAT IT WAS THE WILL OF THE LORD.











JAN 11  GEN 25:1 - 26:33                   PG 50 - 55



Genesis 25:5  PG 51

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

GOD GAVE PALESTINE TO JEWISH DECEDENTS OF ISAAC AND NOT 

THE ARAB DECEDENTS OF ISHMAEL.



Genesis 25:11   PG 51

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God 

blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well 

Lahairoi.



Genesis 25:21   PG 52

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she 

<was> barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and 

Rebekah his wife conceived.



Genesis 25:22 - 23     PG 52

And the children struggled together within her; and she 

said, If <it be> so, why <am> I thus? And she went to 

inquire of the LORD.  And the LORD said unto her, Two 

nations <are> in thy womb, and two manner of people shall 

be separated from thy bowels; and <the one> people shall 

be stronger than <the other> people; and the elder shall 

serve the younger.

GOD KNEW JACOB AND ESAU BEFORE THEY WERE BORN.  THE TWINS 

WERE FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER BEFORE THEY WERE BORN.  LIFE 

BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.  GOD TOLD REBEKAH THAT ESAU, THE 

ELDER, WOULD SERVE JACOB, THE YOUNGER.  GOD KNEW THESE TWO 

BABIES FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER IN REBEKAH'S WOMB.  

ABORTION KILLS BABIES.  IT IS SACRIFICING TO MOLECH.



Genesis 25:25, 26 & 28    PG 53

And the first came out red, all over like an hairy 

garment; and they called his name Esau.  And after that 

came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's 

heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac <was> 

threescore years old when she bare them.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of <his> venison: 

but Rebekah loved Jacob.

ESAU'S NAME MEANS ROUGH AND JACOB'S NAME MEANS TO 

OVERTHROW BY TRIPPING UP.  THEIR PARENTS PICKED FAVORITES.  

THIS ADDED TO THE STRIFE BETWEEN THE BROTHERS.



Genesis 25:30   PG 53

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that 

same red <pottage>; for I <am> faint: therefore was his 

name called Edom.

ESAU GETS THE NEW NAME EDOM MEANING RED.  WHAT NEW NAME 

DOES GOD GIVE JACOB?



Genesis 26:4 - 5

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of 

heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; 

and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be 

blessed;  Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept 

my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

ABRAHAM DID NOT HAVE THE SCRIPTURES.  YET HIS FAITH AND 

OBEDIENCE WERE GREAT.  HE FOUND GREAT FAVOR WITH GOD.  WE 

HAVE SO MUCH MORE REASON TO HAVE FAITH AND BE OBEDIENT 

THAN DID ABRAHAM YET HOW FAR SHORT OF ABRAHAM'S LEVEL OF 

FAITH AND OBEDIENCE AM I?



EVERYONE COULD SEE HOW GOD BLESSED ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND 

JACOB BECAUSE OF ABRAHAM'S FAITH AND OBEDIENCE.









JAN 12  GEN 26:34 - 28:22                   PG 55 - 59



JACOB CONSPIRES WITH HIS MOTHER TO DECEIVE ISAAC.  JACOB 

RECEIVES ISAAC'S SPECIAL BLESSING.  THIS BLESSING IS THE 

BLESSING GOD GAVE TO ABRAHAM.



Genesis 27:29                                PG 57

Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be 

lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down 

to thee: cursed <be> every one that curseth thee, and 

blessed <be> he that blesseth thee.

GOD'S SPECIAL BLESSING TO ISRAEL THROUGH ABRAHAM IS THE 

ISSUE HERE.  NO DOUBT REBEKAH HAD TRIED TO PERSUADE ISAAC 

TO GIVE THIS BLESSING TO HER FAVORITE JACOB.  ISAAC 

PROBABLY KNEW THAT REBEKAH WAS RIGHT FROM WHAT REBEKAH HAD 

LEARNED FROM GOD BEFORE THE TWINS WERE BORN GEN. 25:22-23.

NO DOUBT, THIS WAS REINFORCED WHEN ESAU TOOK HEATHEN WIVES 

WHICH GRIEVED BOTH REBEKAH AND ISAAC.  JACOB HAD ALREADY 

OBTAINED ESAU'S BIRTHRIGHT.  ISAAC CONTINUED RESISTING 

BECAUSE ESAU WAS HIS FAVORITE.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO TALK 

THIS OUT IF A CHILD FEELS THAT HIS PARENT FAVORS THEIR 

SIBLING.  PARENTS NEVER SHOULD SHOW THE TYPE OF OPEN AND 

BLATANT FAVORITISM WHICH WAS DEMONSTRATED BY ISAAC AND 

REBEKAH.



Genesis 27:41   PG 57

And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his 

father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days 

of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my 

brother Jacob.

ESAU PREMEDITATES THE MURDER OF HIS BROTHER.



Genesis 28:4   PG 58

And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy 

seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein 

thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

THE ARAB ISRAELI CONFLICT OVER PALESTINE CANNOT BE 

RESOLVED.  IF IT IS EVER RESOLVED AT THE PEACE TABLE IT 

WILL BE ANTI-CHRIST WHO IS IN CONTROL OF THE NEGOTIATING 

PROCESS.  GOD GAVE THE LAND TO ISRAEL.  SATAN IS STIRRING 

UP THE ARABS TO FIGHT ISRAEL FOR THIS LAND GIVEN TO THEM 

BY GOD.  BEWARE OF THE PERSON BEHIND ANY ARAB ISRAELI 

PEACE TREATIES.  HE WILL BE ANTICHRIST.



Genesis 28:15   PG 59

And, behold, I <am> with thee, and will keep thee in all 

<places> whither thou goest, and will bring thee again 

into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have 

done <that> which I have spoken to thee of.

HOW ABOUT THIS PROMISE.  ANY "CHRISTIAN" WHO DOES NOT LOVE 

THE JEW DOESN'T KNOW GOD'S WORD ON THE SUBJECT.  BECAUSE 

THE TRUE CHRISTIAN MUST SIDE WITH THE JEW WE WILL SEE THE 

WHOLE REST OF THE WORLD UNITED BEHIND ANTICHRIST TO WIPE 

OUT THE JEWS AND BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS.









JAN 13  GEN 29:1 - 30:43                   PG 59 - 63



Genesis 29:17 - 18                             PG 60

Leah <was> tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well 

favoured.  And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve 

thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

TENDER EYED?  WEAK EYED?  DELICATE EYES?  PRETTY EYES? - 

PROBABLY INDICATES THAT LEAH WAS HOMELY OR GROSSLY 

OVERWEIGHT.  FOR SOME REASON LABAN WAS NOT GOING TO GET     

TOO GREAT A DOWRY FOR HER AND IN FACT MAY NEVER GET HER 

MARRIED OFF.  RACHEL LOOKED GOOD AND JACOB WAS IN LOVE 

WITH HER.



Genesis 29:21                                   PG 60

And Jacob said unto Laban, Give <me> my wife, for my days 

are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. Genesis 29:22

And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and 

made a feast.

Genesis 29:24                                 PG 60

And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid 

<for> an handmaid.

Genesis 29:25                                 PG 60

And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it <was> 

Leah: and he said to Laban, What <is> this thou hast done 

unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore 

then hast thou beguiled me?

Genesis 29:27                                  PG 60

Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the 

service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other 

years.

JACOB ACTUALLY MARRIED BOTH LEAH AND RACHEL IN THE FIRST 

FEW WEEKS THAT HE WAS WITH LABAN.  OTHERWISE THE TIMES AND 

THE BIRTHS OF THE 12 SONS DO NOT PHYSICALLY WORK OUT 

RIGHT.  THE THING IS THAT LABAN KNEW THE PROMISE OF GOD TO 

ABRAHAM.  HE KNEW THAT GOD WOULD BE BLESSING ABRAHAM'S 

OFFSPRING AND HE WANTED TO KEEP JACOB PERMANENTLY FOR HIS 

OWN GAIN.  SEVEN YEARS WAS A GOOD DEAL TO JACOB AND A VERY 

GOOD DEAL FOR LABAN.  YET LABAN FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE 

THE VERY GOOD DEAL TWICE AS GOOD FOR HIM AND NOT TOO GOOD 

FOR JACOB.  JACOB GOT SO DRUNK AT HIS WEDDING FEAST THAT 

HE COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMELY LEAH AND 

BEAUTIFUL RACHEL.  HE PROBABLY PASSED OUT AND WOKE UP 

FINDING LABAN HAD PULLED OFF A SWITCH WITH HIM NOT HAVING 

CONSUMMATED THE MARRIAGE.  THUS LABAN SUGGESTS HE COMPLETE 

LEAH'S WEEK AND THAT HE HAD TO TAKE THEM BOTH FOR 14 YEARS 

SERVICE.  WHILE POLYGAMY WAS IN GOD'S PERMISSIVE WILL IT 

WAS NEVER HIS PERFECT WILL.  JACOB ENDS UP WITH FAMILY 

PROBLEMS BIG TIME.



Genesis 29:31                                   PG 61

And when the LORD saw that Leah <was> hated, he opened her 

womb: but Rachel <was> barren.

ABRAHAM'S WIFE SARAH IS BARREN, ISAAC'S WIFE REBECCA IS 

BARREN, AND JACOB'S WIFE RACHEL IS BARREN UNTIL THE LORD 

HEALS THEM.



Genesis 30:1-2                                  PG 61

And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, 

Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me 

children, or else I die.

And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, 

<Am> I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the 

fruit of the womb?

WOW WHAT A MESS!  HOW WOULD YOU LIKE LIVING IN THAT 

HORNET'S NEST.









JAN 14  GEN 31:1 - 33:20                     PG 63 - 68



Genesis 31:1                                       PG 63

And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath 

taken away all that <was> our father's; and of <that> 

which <was> our father's hath he gotten all this glory.

NOW HERE IS PRIDE AND UNGREATFULNESS.  LABAN AND HIS 

FAMILY ARE PROBABLY 100 TIMES MORE WEALTHY BECAUSE OF 

JACOBS PRESENCE WITH THEM.  FOR GOD WAS SO VERY OBVIOUSLY 

BLESSING JACOB.  THEIR WEALTH HAD GREATLY INCREASED FROM 

THE OVERFLOW OF GOD'S BLESSING OF JACOB.



Genesis 31:2                                    PG 63

And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it 

<was> not toward him as before.

IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON.



Genesis 31:3                                     PG 63

And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy 

fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

SHOULD WE HAVE ANY FEAR IF THE LORD PROMISES TO BE WITH 

US?  GOD HAS NOT ONLY PROMISED TO BE WITH US BUT HE HAS 

PROMISED TO BE IN US.  WE MAKE A CHOICE TO TRUST GOD AND 

LIVE BY FAITH OR WE WILL CHOOSE TO LIVE IN FEAR.  WHY 

SHOULD WE EVER CHOOSE TO FEAR ANYTHING IF THE HOLY 

SPIRIT'S PRESENCE AND POWER OF GOD IS WITHIN US?



Genesis 31:7                                      PG 63

And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten 

times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

JACOB HAD EXPERIENCED GOD'S PROTECTION.  CAN YOU SHARE ANY 

TIME OR WAY IN WHICH YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED GOD'S 

PROTECTION, DELIVERANCE, OR PROVISION?



Genesis 31:19                                    PG 64

And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen 

the images that <were> her father's.

LABAN MAY HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM BUT 

HE ALSO WAS AN IDOL WORSHIPER.  WHY WOULD RACHEL STEAL 

THEM?



Genesis 31:36                                   PG 65

And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob 

answered and said to Laban, What <is> my trespass? what 

<is> my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 

Genesis 31:41                                   PG 65

Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee 

fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for 

thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 

Genesis 31:42                                   PG 65

Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the 

fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me 

away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the 

labour of my hands, and rebuked <thee> yesternight.

JACOB KNEW GOD WAS PROTECTING HIM.  LABAN'S SUPERIOR ARMY 

DID NOT STAND A CHANCE AGAINST JACOB.  IF GOD BE FOR YOU - 

WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU.



Genesis 31:47                                     PG 65

And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it 

Galeed.

CHALDEE WORD AND HEBREW WORD BOTH MEANING HEAP OF WITNESS.



Genesis 31:49                                   PG 65

And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and 

thee, when we are absent one from another.

THIS IS A POPULAR FRIENDSHIP TOKEN PHRASE.  BUT THE ACTUAL 

FACT WAS IN THEIR MEANING HERE THAT THEY WERE CALLING ON 

GOD TO WATCH THAT THE OTHER DID NOT ATTACK THEM.  NOTHING 

WAS REALLY INTENDED FRIENDLY HERE.



Genesis 31:52                                  PG 65

This heap <be> witness, and <this> pillar <be> witness, 

that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou 

shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for 

harm.



Genesis 32:1                                   PG 66

And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

WOULDN'T THAT BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE?



Genesis 32:2                                   PG 66

And when Jacob saw them, he said, This <is> God's host: 

and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

MAHANAIM MEANS TWO CAMPS.  THEY WERE ACTUALLY TWO HUGE 

COMPANIES OF ANGELS WHO ACCOMPANIED JACOB'S CARAVAN ONE ON 

EACH SIDE.



Genesis 32:6                                   PG 66

And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to 

thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and 

four hundred men with him.  THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS BECAUSE 

ESAU HAD VOWED TO KILL JACOB WHEN HE LEFT AND NOW HE IS 

COMING TO MEET HIM WITH A 400 MAN ARMY, BUT JACOB HAS THE 

TWO COMPANIES OF ANGELS.



Genesis 32:7-8                                 PG 66

Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he 

divided the people that <was> with him, and the flocks, 

and herds, and the camels, into two bands;

And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, 

then the other company which is left shall escape.

JACOB IS ACTING JUST LIKE WE DO SOMETIMES.  GOD HAS 

PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.  GOD HAS EVEN SENT TWO 

COMPANIES OF ANGELS AND MADE THEM VISIBLE TO JACOB.  JACOB 

HAS THE FEAR OR FAITH CHOICE.  HE CHOOSES FEAR.  BUT IN 

HIS FEAR HE TURNS TO THE LORD IN PRAYER REMINDING GOD OF 

HIS PROMISE.  WHAT POWER IS AVAILABLE TO US IF WE WILL 

ONLY LEARN THE PROMISES OF GOD AND CHOOSE TO BE OBEDIENT.



Genesis 32:24-26 & 28                             PG 67

And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with 

him until the breaking of the day.

Genesis 32:25

And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he 

touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's 

thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

Genesis 32:26

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, 

I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Genesis 32:28

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but 

Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with 

men, and hast prevailed.

ISRAEL MEANS PRINCE WITH GOD, SOLDIER OF GOD, 

GOD-WRESTLING.  JACOB WRESTLED WITH GOD.

VERSE 10 - PAGE 66 - ANALYZE JACOB'S PRAYER - LET'S GOD 

KNOW HE KNOWS & BELIEVES WHAT GOD SAID, CONFESSES HIS 

UNWORTHINESS, ACKNOWLEDGES GOD AND NOT HIS OWN EFFORTS 

HAVE CAUSED HIS PROSPERITY, REMINDS GOD OF HIS PROMISES, 

AND PRAYS FOR DELIVERANCE.



Genesis 32:30                                    PG 66

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have 

seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

PENIEL MEANS FACE OF GOD









JAN 15  GEN 34:1 - 35:29                        PG 68 - 71



Genesis 34:24-27                               PG 69

And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that 

went out of the gate of his city; and every male was 

circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city. 

And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, 

that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's 

brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city 

boldly, and slew all the males.

And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of 

the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went 

out.

The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the 

city, because they had defiled their sister.

READ GEN. 34:24-27.  DO YOU THINK SIMEON AND LEVI DID 

RIGHT OR WRONG?  WHAT SHOULD THEY HAVE DONE?



Genesis 35:1                                    PG 70

And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell 

there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared 

unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy 

brother.

GOD PROTECTS JACOB BY TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO.



Genesis 35:2                                    PG 70

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that <were> 

with him, Put away the strange gods that <are> among you, 

and be clean, and change your garments:

WHAT ARE THE STRANGE GODS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE IN OUR HOMES?

ASTROLOGY, OUIJI BOARDS, PORNOGRAPHY?



Genesis 35:4                                   PG 70

And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which <were> 

in their hand, and <all their> earrings which <were> in 

their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which <was> 

by Shechem.

WHY DID JACOB HIDE THEM.  SHOULD HE NOT HAVE DESTROYED 

THEM?



Genesis 35:5                                   PG 70

And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the 

cities that <were> round about them, and they did not 

pursue after the sons of Jacob.

GOD PROTECTS JACOB.  THE TERROR OF GOD WAS UPON THOSE WHO 

MIGHT HAVE SOUGHT TO DO HIM HARM AFTER WHAT HIS SONS HAD 

DONE TO THE CANAANITES.



Genesis 35:10                                 PG 70

And God said unto him, Thy name <is> Jacob: thy name shall 

not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy 

name: and he called his name Israel.

ISRAEL MEANS HE STRUGGLES WITH GOD.  I AM AN ISRAELITE.  I 

STRUGGLE WITH GOD.  SOMETIMES I KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS ME TO 

DO AND I FIGHT IT.  I AM TIRED OF STRUGGLING WITH GOD.  I 

WANT TO OBEY AND REST IN HIS PROTECTION.



Genesis 35:11                                   PG 71

And God said unto him, I <am> God Almighty: be fruitful 

and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be 

of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

GOD IS ALMIGHTY.  IF GOD BE FOR YOU, WHO CAN BE AGAINST 

YOU?



Genesis 35:18                                   PG 71

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for 

she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father 

called him Benjamin.

RACHEL DIES IN GIVING BIRTH TO BENJAMIN CALLING HIM SON OF 

MY TROUBLE BUT JACOB CALLS HIM SON OF MY RIGHT HAND.  

RACHEL IS BURIED IN BETHLEHEM.



Genesis 35:22                                    PG 71

And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that 

Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: 

and Israel heard <it>. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

HERE IS GOOD PROOF THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE.  IF MOSES WERE 

RECORDING A FICTIONAL ACCOUNT OF THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL 

THERE IS NO WAY THIS VERSE WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.  

MOSES WROTE WHAT GOD INSPIRED HIM TO WRITE - THE TRUTH.



Genesis 35:29                                   PG 71

And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered 

unto his people, <being> old and full of days: and his 

sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

ISAAC DIES AT AGE 180 AND IS BURIED BY JACOB AND ESAU AND 

ESAU DOES NOT TRY TO KILL JACOB.









JAN 16  GEN 36:1 - 36:43                       PG 71 -74



I DID NOT GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS CHAPTER OTHER THAN ESAU 

BECAME THE FATHER OF A MULTITLUDE  -  THE NATION OF EDOM. 

DID ANYONE ELSE GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS CHAPTER?









JAN 17  GEN 37:1 - 38:30                    PG 74 - 77



Genesis 37:3                                    PG 74

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, 

because he <was> the son of his old age: and he made him a 

coat of <many> colours.

JOSEPH IS JACOB'S FAVORITE SON.  IT IS NOT RIGHT TO PLAY 

FAVORITES WITH YOUR CHILDREN.  IT SOMETIMES APPEARS TO 

HAPPEN BECAUSE SOME CHILDREN SHARE COMMON INTERESTS OF THE 

PARENTS.  SUCH THINGS SHOULD BE TALKED OUT.



Genesis 37:4 - 8                               PG 74

And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more 

than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak 

peaceably unto him.  And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he 

told <it> his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which 

I have dreamed:  For, behold, we <were> binding sheaves in 

the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood 

upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and 

made obeisance to my sheaf.  And his brethren said to him, 

Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have 

dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his 

dreams, and for his words.

HERE WE SEE THAT JOSEPH IS A PROPHET AND AN INTERPRETER OF 

DREAMS.  PROBABLY BECAUSE OF JACOB'S FAVORITISM, HE IS 

INDISCRETE.  WE ALL NEED TO LEARN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO 

KEEP QUIET ABOUT SOME THINGS.  JOSEPH PAYS FOR NOT KNOWING 

WHEN TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT EVEN WHEN IT IS TRUE.



Genesis 37:18                                     PG 75

And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near 

unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

Genesis 37:20                                     PG 75

Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into 

some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured 

him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 

Genesis 37:21                                     PG 75

And Reuben heard <it>, and he delivered him out of their 

hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

Genesis 37:27                                     PG 75

Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not 

our hand be upon him; for he <is> our brother <and> our 

flesh. And his brethren were content.

Genesis 37:31                                     PG 75

And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the 

goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

Genesis 37:35                                     PG 76

And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort 

him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I 

will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his 

father wept for him.

Genesis 37:36                                     PG 76

And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an 

officer of Pharaoh's, <and> captain of the guard.

JOSEPH SURE PAID FOR NOT KEEPING HIS MOUTH SHUT.  BUT WE 

WILL SEE HOW GOD PROTECTS, BLESSES AND PROSPERS HIM IN 

EGYPT TO BE ABLE TO SAVE THE WHOLE TRIBE OF ISRAEL FROM 

STARVATION, BUT ISRAEL ENDS UP WITH 4OO YEARS OF SLAVERY 

IN EGYPT, WHERE GOD GLORIOUSLY BRINGS THEM OUT.



Genesis 38:7-9                                     PG 76

And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the 

LORD; and the LORD slew him.

And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, 

and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came 

to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he 

spilled <it> on the ground, lest that he should give seed 

to his brother.

THIS WAS THE LAW BEFORE THE LAW WAS GIVEN TO MOSES AND 

AFTERWARD.  IT WAS ALSO DISOBEDIENCE TO HIS FATHER.  ONAN 

PAYS FOR HIS DISOBEDIENCE WITH HIS LIFE.



Genesis 38:15-16 & 18                          PG 77

When Judah saw her, he thought her <to be> an harlot; 

because she had covered her face.

And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray 

thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she 

<was> his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou 

give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?

And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, 

Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that <is> in 

thine hand. And he gave <it> her, and came in unto her, 

and she conceived by him.

AGAIN WE SEE PROOF OF THE TRUTH THAT THE BIBLE IS GOD'S 

TRUTH.  IF MOSES WERE WRITING A FICTIONAL OR EVEN AN 

HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF HIS NATION OF ISRAEL SURELY THIS 

PART OF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT.



Genesis 38:26                                  PG 77

And Judah acknowledged <them>, and said, She hath been 

more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to 

Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

JUDAH DID NOT HAVE TAMAR PUT TO DEATH.  TAMAR WAS MORE 

RIGHTEOUS THAN JUDAH AND IS FOUND IN THE RECORD OF THE 

FAMILY TREE OF JESUS CHRIST. Matthew 1:3

And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares 

begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;









JAN 18  GEN 39:1 - 42:50                       PG 78 - 82



Genesis 39:1 - 3                              PG 78

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an 

officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, 

bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had 

brought him down thither.  And the LORD was with Joseph, 

and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of 

his master the Egyptian.  And his master saw that the LORD 

<was> with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to 

prosper in his hand.

JOSEPH IS SOLD INTO SLAVERY BUT GOD IS WITH HIM.  EVEN THE 

MAN WHO JOSEPH WAS SOLD TO COULD SEE THAT THE LORD WAS 

HIM.  HOW DO YOU THINK JOSEPH'S MASTER COULD TELL THE LORD 

WAS WITH JOSEPH?  EVERYTHING THAT JOSEPH DID PROSPERED IN 

HIS HAND BUT HOW COULD THE MASTER KNOW IT WAS THE LORD WHO 

WAS BEHIND JOSEPH'S PROSPERITY?



Genesis 39:7, 10, 12, 14                       PG 78

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's 

wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, 

that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, <or> to be 

with her.

And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: 

and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him 

out.

That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto 

them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to 

mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried 

with a loud voice:

JOSEPH GETS PUT IN PRISON AS A RESULT OF FALSE WITNESS.  

LIFE IS NOT FAIR.  DOES JOSEPH GET BITTER OR BETTER?



Genesis 39:21-22                               PG 79

But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and 

gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand 

all the prisoners that <were> in the prison; and 

whatsoever they did there, he was the doer <of it>.

THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH IN PRISON.  HOW DOES JOSEPH 

BEHAVE WHILE HE IS IN PRISON?



Genesis 40:13                                 PG 79

Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, 

and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver 

Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when 

thou wast his butler.  But think on me when it shall be 

well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, 

and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of 

this house:

JOSEPH INTERPRETS THE DREAMS OF THE BUTLER AND ASKS THE 

BUTLER TO HELP HIM GET OUT OF PRISON.  THE BUTLER GETS OUT 

AND FORGETS JOSEPH.



Genesis 40:22                                   PG 80

But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted 

to them.

Genesis 40:23

Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat 

him.

Genesis 41:1

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that 

Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. 

Genesis 41:8

And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was 

troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of 

Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them 

his dream; but <there was> none that could interpret them 

unto Pharaoh.

NONE OF THE MAGICIANS OF EGYPT COULD INTERPRET PHARAOH'S 

DREAM.



Genesis 41:9                                 PG 81

Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do 

remember my faults this day:

Genesis 41:12

And <there was> there with us a young man, an Hebrew, 

servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and 

he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to 

his dream he did interpret.

Genesis 41:13

And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; 

me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.  

Genesis 41:14

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him 

hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved <himself>, and 

changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

Genesis 41:16

And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, <It is> not in me: 

God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

JOSEPH IS SO VERY CAREFUL TO GIVE GOD THE GLORY.  WHAT DO 

YOU TELL PEOPLE WHEN THEY PRAISE YOU FOR DOING SOMETHING 

EXCELLENT?  WHO GETS THE GLORY?



Genesis 41:25                                PG 82

And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh <is> 

one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he <is> about to do. 

PHARAOH HAS THE POWER OF LIFE OR DEATH OVER JOSEPH AND CAN 

GET JOSEPH OUT OF PRISON AND JOSEPH WITNESSES TO PHARAOH.  

WOULD WE BE THIS BOLD IN OUR WITNESS?



Genesis 41:28                                PG 81

This <is> the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What 

God <is> about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.

REMEMBER PHARAOH IS A PAGAN AND HIS PEOPLE THINK HE IS A 

GOD.  IT WAS VERY DARING FOR JOSEPH TO SPEAK OF HIS GOD 

BEFORE PHARAOH.



Genesis 41:32-32 & 38-39                        PG 81

And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; <it 

is> because the thing <is> established by God, and God 

will shortly bring it to pass.

Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and 

wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Genesis 41:37

And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the 

eyes of all his servants.

And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find <such a 

one> as this <is>, a man in whom the Spirit of God <is>?

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed 

thee all this, <there is> none so discreet and wise as 

thou <art>:

PHARAOH MAKES JOSEPH HEAD OF ALL EGYPT.  GOD TAKES JOSEPH 

FROM SLAVERY AND PRISON AND MAKES HIM ONE OF THE MOST 

ELEVATED AND POWERFUL MEN IN THE WORLD.  BUT THINK ABOUT 

JOSEPH'S FAITH AND HOW NO MATTER WHAT HE GIVES GOD THE 

GLORY.















JAN 19  GEN 42:6 - 45:15                     PG 82 -87



Genesis 42:8-10                               PG 82

And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.  And 

Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and 

said unto them, Ye <are> spies; to see the nakedness of 

the land ye are come.  And they said unto him, Nay, my 

lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

JOSEPH IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED HIS BROTHERS.  THEY DID NOT 

RECOGNIZE HIM.  BECAUSE OF HIS YET UNFULFILLED DREAMS 

ABOUT HIS BROTHERS BOWING TO HIM HE KEPT EXPECTING AND 

LOOKING FOR THEM.  THEY NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE JOSEPH AGAIN 

BECAUSE OF THE EVIL THEY HAD DONE TO HIM.



Genesis 42:25-26                              PG 83

Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and 

to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give 

them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them. And 

they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.

JOSEPH PUTS THEIR MONEY BACK IN THEIR SACKS.  HE DOESN'T 

HATE HIS BROTHERS EVEN AFTER THEIR HATEFUL TREATMENT OF 

HIM.  HE SEES GOD'S HAND ALLOWING HIS MISFORTUNE AT THE 

HAND OF HIS BROTHERS.  HE TRUSTS GOD TO LIFT HIM FROM HIS 

BAD CIRCUMSTANCES.  HE DOES NOT GET BITTER.  HE GETS VERY 

MUCH BETTER.



Genesis 42:38                                 PG 84

And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his 

brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall 

him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring 

down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

JACOB PROBABLY SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY OF THE BROTHERS TO HAVE 

SOME PART IN JOSEPH'S DEATH.  HE WAS NOT GOING TO LET 

THESE JEALOUS, STRIVING  BROTHERS HAVE A SHOT AT KILLING 

HIS OTHER FAVORITE BENJAMIN.  PARENTS SHOULD NOT PLAY 

FAVORITES.



Genesis 43:23                                 PG 85

And he said, Peace <be> to you, fear not: your God, and 

the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your 

sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto 

them.

EVEN THOUGH JOSEPH IS HAVING GREAT FUN WITH HIS BROTHERS 

HE CANNOT EVER PASS UP ANY CHANCE TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD.



Genesis 43:28-30                              PG 85

And they answered, Thy servant our father <is> in good 

health, he <is> yet alive. And they bowed down their 

heads, and made obeisance.  And he lifted up his eyes, and 

saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, <Is> 

this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And 

he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.  And Joseph 

made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and 

he sought <where> to weep; and he entered into <his> 

chamber, and wept there.

JOSEPH NEVER FORGOT HIS FAMILY.  BENJAMIN WAS HIS FULL 

BROTHER NOT HALF BROTHER AND HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM 

BEING SOLD AS A SLAVE.  HE WAS BROKEN TO TEARS AT THE 

SIGHT OF HIS LITTLE BROTHER.



Genesis 44:9-12                                  PG 86

With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him 

die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.  And he said, 

Now also <let> it <be> according unto your words: he with 

whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be 

blameless.  Then they speedily took down every man his 

sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.  And he 

searched, <and> began at the eldest, and left at the 

youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

JOSEPH IS TESTING HIS BROTHERS.  MAYBE HE STILL DOESN'T 

TRUST THEM.  MAYBE HE IS WANTING TO PROTECT HIS BROTHER 

BENJAMIN FROM POSSIBLE MISFORTUNE FROM THE HANDS OF HIS 

HALF-BROTHERS.



Genesis 44:18-20                               PG 86

Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let 

thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, 

and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou 

<art> even as Pharaoh.  My lord asked his servants, 

saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?  And we said unto 

my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his 

old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he 

alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

JUDAH IS A NATURAL LEADER.  HE TAKES THE LEAD IN THE 

SITUATION.  HE ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY.  HE IS GOD'S CHOSEN 

LEADER OF ISRAEL.  JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS, LORD OF 

LORDS, WILL BE BORN OF THE ROYAL TRIBE OF JUDAH.



Genesis 44:33-34                              PG 86

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead 

of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up 

with his brethren.  For how shall I go up to my father, 

and the lad <be> not with me? lest peradventure I see the 

evil that shall come on my father.

JUDAH PLEADS WITH JOSEPH TO KEEP HIM AS SLAVE AND LET 

BENJAMIN GO.  THIS CONVINCES JOSEPH THAT HIS BROTHERS ARE 

TRULY SORRY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO HIM.



Genesis 45:5                                   PG 87

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, 

that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to 

preserve life.

JOSEPH REVEALS HIMSELF TO HIS BROTHERS AND NOW THEY FIGURE 

THERE IS HELL TO PAY.  BUT JOSEPH IS SO NEAT.  SO 

FORGIVING.  HE AND DAVID, TO ME, ARE THE 2 GREATEST HUMAN 

HEROES OF THE BIBLE.  HOW HE TRUSTS GOD.  HOW HE CAN SEEK 

AND FIND GOD'S WILL IN HIS UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES.



Genesis 45:8                                    PG 87

So now <it was> not you <that> sent me hither, but God: 

and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all 

his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

LOOK AT JOSEPH IN LIGHT OF THIS VERSE.  I FEEL LIKE 

JOSEPH.  MY FAMILY THREW ME AWAY LIKE GARBAGE.  HOW I 

WOULD LIKE TO BE LIKE JOSEPH.  HE WAS INNOCENT - I WAS 

NOT.  HIS BROTHERS WERE UNJUSTIFIED - MY FAMILY HAD SOME 

JUSTIFICATION.  HE COULD SEE GOD'S WILL IN WHAT HAPPENED 

TO HIM - AS YET I CANNOT.  YET LIKE JOSEPH I HAVE FOUND 

GOD TO BE MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN ME THROUGH THE 

GRIEF OF THE LOSS OF MY FAMILY.  I GRIEVE FOR MY FAMILY.  

BUT JOSEPH COULD SEE HIS CIRCUMSTANCES BEING IN GOD'S WILL 

AND I CAN NOT.  CAN I FORGIVE? - CERTAINLY.  CAN MY 

FAMILY? - I DOUBT IT.  WHAT IS GOD'S WILL FOR ME IN MY 

CIRCUMSTANCES?  I WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER?  ALL I CAN DO IS 

WAIT, WORK, STUDY HIS WORD, TRUST HIM AND HIS FORGIVENESS, 

AND FIGHT BITTERNESS WITH ALL MY MIGHT.









JAN 20  GEN 45:16 - 47:28                      PG 87 - 91



Genesis 45:16-18                               PG 87

And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, 

Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, 

and his servants.  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto 

thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get 

you unto the land of Canaan;  And take your father and 

your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the 

good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the 

land.

PHARAOH KNOWS BEYOND ANY DOUBT THAT HE HAS BEEN BLESSED BY 

JOSEPH AND JOSEPH'S GOD.  PHARAOH WANTS ALL OF JOSEPH'S 

FAMILY WITH HIM IN EGYPT.  THIS BEGINS THE FULFILLMENT OF 

GOD'S PROPHESY TO ABRAHAM THAT HIS OFFSPRING WOULD BE 

SLAVES IN EGYPT FOR 400 YEARS AND THAT GOD WOULD LEAD THEM 

OUT BY HIS POWER AS A GREAT NATION.



Genesis 45:24                                    PG 88

So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he 

said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

DON'T QUARREL ON THE WAY.  WHAT A MESS OF A FAMILY JACOB 

HAD.  POLYGAMY IS STUPID.  NOTHING BUT CONSTANT QUARRELING 

WAS IN THE FAMILY OF JACOB.  EVEN THOUGH JOSEPH KNOWS HIS 

BROTHERS ARE TOTALLY REPENTANT OF WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO 

HIM, EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS IT WAS GOD'S WILL - HE IS 

COMPELLED TO WARN THEM NOT TO QUARREL.  WHAT INSIGHT INTO 

WHAT A MESS THIS FAMILY WAS.



Genesis 46:2                                      PG 88

And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and 

said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here <am> I.

IF YOU EVER HEAR YOUR FIRST NAME CALLED TWICE - AND NOBODY 

IS APPARENTLY THERE DOING THE CALLING - LISTEN CAREFULLY 

AND ANSWER - HERE I AM - IT MAY BE THE LORD.  ABRAHAM 

ABRAHAM, JACOB JACOB, SAMUEL SAMUEL, SAUL SAUL.  I ONCE 

HEARD THE LORD CALL JIM JIM, WHEN HE HEALED ME FROM 

ALCOHOL ADDICTION.



Genesis 46:27                                  PG 89

And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, 

<were> two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, 

which came into Egypt, <were> threescore and ten.

SEVENTY GO DOWN TO EGYPT.  430 YEARS LATER GOD BRINGS OUT 

A GREAT NATION OF APPROXIMATELY 3 MILLION ISRAELITES.



Genesis 47:20-21 & 23-25

And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for 

the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine 

prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.

And as for the people, he removed them to cities from 

[one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end 

thereof.



Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought 

you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed 

for you, and ye shall sow the land.

And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall 

give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall 

be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and 

for them of your households, and for food for your little 

ones.

And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find 

grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's 

servants.

JUST AS SURELY AS JOSEPH MADE ALL EGYPTIANS TO BE SLAVES 

OF PHARAOH, THE AMERICAN CONGRESS HAS SOLD ALL AMERICANS 

INTO SLAVERY TO THE STATE.  THERE IS A FANTASTIC PARALLEL 

HERE IF YOU CAN SEE IT.  THE EGYPTIANS ONLY HAD TO PAY 

PHARAOH 20%.  HOW MUCH DO AMERICANS HAVE TO PAY THEIR 

PHARAOH?  AMERICANS NEED ABOUT A 20 YEAR RECESS OF 

CONGRESS WHERE CONGRESS COULD ONLY BE CALLED INTO SESSION 

TO DECLARE WAR.  WITHOUT ANY NEW LAWS CHANGING THE RULES 

OF THE GAME AND WITHOUT THE INEVITABLE INCREASES IN 

SPENDING OF THE CONGRESS, AMERICANS COULD WORK THEIR WAY 

OUT OF DEBT.  AS IT STANDS NOW THEIR CONGRESS WILL ALWAYS 

SPEND FASTER THAN THEY CAN EARN.  THE BORROWER IS SERVANT 

TO THE LENDER.









JAN 21  GEN 47:29 - 50:26                  PG 91 - 96



Genesis 48:4                                    PG 92

And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and 

multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of 

people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee 

<for> an everlasting possession.

THERE IS SUCH TREMENDOUS SIGNIFICANCE TO ISRAEL POSSESSING 

PALESTINE.  GOD MADE THE EARTH.  GOD GAVE THE LAND OF 

PALESTINE TO THE JEWS NOT THE PALESTINIANS OR THE ARABS.  

ALL CHRISTIANS MUST SUPPORT THE JEWS RIGHT, GIVEN BY GOD, 

TO POSSESS THE LAND FROM THE RED SEA IN THE SOUTH, TO 

LEBANON IN THE NORTH, TO THE MEDITERRANEAN IN THE WEST AND 

TO THE JORDAN IN THE EAST.  NO MATTER WHAT!!!  HOW MANY 

TIMES IN SCRIPTURES IS THIS WILL AND PROMISE OF GOD 

REPEATED?  IT IS IMPORTANT.  SATAN IS BENT ON THE 

DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL.  BUT EVEN WHEN HE GETS THE WHOLE 

WORLD BENT ON THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL, GOD WILL NOT 

ALLOW IT.  WE MUST STAND WITH GOD IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL.



Genesis 48:21                                 PG 93

And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall 

be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your 

fathers.   PROMISE REPEATED BY INFERENCE AGAIN.



Genesis 49:4                                  PG 93

Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou 

wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou <it>: 

he went up to my couch.

PROOF OF INSPIRATION OF SCRIPTURE.  JEWS DIRTY LAUNDRY 

EXPOSED FOR THE WORLD FOR ALL TIME TO SEE RUBEN'S 

DEFILEMENT OF HIS FATHER'S BED.



Genesis 49:7                                   PG 93

Cursed <be> their anger, for <it was> fierce; and their 

wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and 

scatter them in Israel.

PROPHESY FULFILLED BECAUSE LEVI WAS DISPERSED THROUGH 

ISRAEL AS THE LINE OF PRIESTHOOD AND ALSO EXECUTED THE 

DEATH PENALTY IN ISRAEL.



Genesis 49:9-10                                PG 93

Judah <is> a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art 

gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an 

old lion; who shall rouse him up?  The sceptre shall not 

depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, 

until Shiloh come; and unto him <shall> the gathering of 

the people <be>.

JUDAH IS TO BE THE LINE OF ISRAEL'S KINGS.  FROM WHICH 

WOULD PROCEED THE KING OF KINGS - JESUS CHRIST.  TO HIM 

BELONGS THE OBEDIENCE OF ALL NATIONS.



Genesis 50:17-20                               PG 96

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the 

trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto 

thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of 

the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept 

when they spake unto him.  And his brethren also went and 

fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we <be> 

thy servants.  And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for 

<am> I in the place of God?  But as for you, ye thought 

evil against me; <but> God meant it unto good, to bring to 

pass, as <it is> this day, to save much people alive.

LOOK AT THE HEART ATTITUDE OF JOSEPH.  SEE HOW HE 

FORGIVES.  SEE HIS INSIGHT INTO GOD'S WILL.









JAN 22  EXO 1:1 - 6:27                     PG 97 - 102



Exodus 1:8-10  PG 98

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not 

Joseph.

And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the 

children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:

Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, 

and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, 

they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and 

[so] get them up out of the land.

THE NEW PHARAOH FORGOT HOW JOSEPH NOT ONLY HAD SAVED EGYPT 

FROM THE GREAT FAMINE BUT ALSO HAD DELIVERED ALL EGYPTIANS 

AS SLAVES INTO THE HANDS OF PHARAOH.  HE DECIDED TO MAKE 

HARD LABOR SLAVES OF THE HEBREWS.



Exodus 1:12-13  PG 98

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied 

and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of 

Israel.

And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve 

with rigour:

GOD HAD PROMISED TO GREATLY MULTIPLY THE CHILDREN OF 

ABRAHAM AND THE MORE THE HEBREWS WERE OPPRESSED THE MORE 

THEY MULTIPLIED.  PHARAOH DECREED THAT ALL MALE HEBREW 

BABIES WOULD BE EXECUTED.



Exodus 2:5-6  PG 98 - 99

And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at 

the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's 

side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent 

her maid to fetch it.

And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and, 

behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and 

said, This [is one] of the Hebrews' children.

GOD PROVIDED A WAY TO SAVE BABY MOSES AND RAISE HIM AS A 

PRINCE IN EGYPT TO PREPARE MOSES TO LEAD ISRAEL OUT OF 

EGYPT.



Exodus 2:10-12  PG 99

And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's 

daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name 

Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, 

that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their 

burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one 

of his brethren.

And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that 

[there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in 

the sand.

WHEN MOSES HAD GROWN TO BE A GREAT PRINCE OF EGYPT HE 

KILLED ONE OF THE EGYPTIAN TASKMASTERS.





Exodus 2:15-16  PG 99

Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay 

Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt 

in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they 

came and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water 

their father's flock.

MOSES FLED FOR HIS LIFE TO MIDIAN.  HE BECAME A MEMBER OF 

JETHRO'S HOUSE BY MARRYING ZIPPORAH.  AS A PRIEST OF 

MIDIAN JETHRO KNEW OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.  REMEMBER THAT 

WHEN SARAH DIED ABRAHAM MARRIED KETURAH.  KETURAH HAD 6 

SONS BY ABRAHAM 2 OF WHICH WERE MEDAN AND MIDIAN.  NO 

DOUBT ABRAHAM TOLD HIS SON MIDIAN EVERYTHING ABOUT HIS GOD 

AND HIS PEOPLE.  THEREFORE JETHRO, AS A PRIEST OF MIDIAN, 

WAS ABLE TO GIVE MOSES MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT GOD AND THE 

HISTORY OF THE HEBREW PEOPLE.



Exodus 2:23-25  PG 99

And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of 

Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of 

the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto 

God by reason of the bondage.

And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his 

covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had 

respect unto [them].

GOD HAD BEEN PREPARING MOSES TO BE HIS INSTRUMENT TO 

DELIVER ISRAEL FROM THEIR BONDAGE FOR ALMOST 75 YEARS.  

GOD OFTEN PREPARES TO ANSWER OUR PRAYERS BEFORE WE EVEN 

GET AROUND TO PRAYING.  IT WAS GOD'S WILL TO BRING ISRAEL 

OUT OF EGYPT AS A GREAT NATION FOR HIS GLORY AND TO REVEAL 

HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH THIS GREAT NATION.  MOSES WAS 

ABOUT 40 WHEN HE KILLED THE EGYPTIAN.  HE LIKELY HAD BEEN 

WITH JETHRO 30 YEARS PRIOR TO THE DEATH OF THE PHARAOH 

FROM WHOM HE HAD FLED.  IF YOU WANT POWERFUL ANSWERS TO 

YOUR PRAYERS, GO TO THE BIBLE AND FIND GOD'S WILL ON THE 

SUBJECT OF YOUR PRAYER.  FAITH IS AUTOMATIC WHEN YOU KNOW 

GOD'S WILL IS ALIGNED WITH THE SUBJECT OF YOUR PRAYER.  IT 

IS A DONE DEAL WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND GOD'S WILL ALIGNS WITH 

YOUR PRAYER REQUEST.  ALSO, WOULD YOU EVER WANT TO PRAY 

SOMETHING WHICH IS OPPOSED TO GOD'S WILL.  PRAISING GOD IS 

ALWAYS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.  READING GOD'S WORD IS 

ALWAYS RIGHT BECAUSE THAT IS HOW WE ALLOW GOD TO TALK TO 

US.  BUT WE ALL NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL WITH WHAT WE ASK 

GOD TO DO FOR US.  THANK GOD HE SAYS NO TO OUR IGNORANT 

PRAYERS.



Exodus 3:2   PG 99

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of 

fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, 

behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not 

consumed.

WHO IS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD?  DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME?



Exodus 3:4   PG 99

And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God 

called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, 

Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.

THIS IS HOW GOD CALLED HIS SERVANTS.  HE CALLED THEM BY 

THEIR FIRST NAME TWICE.  IF YOU HEAR YOUR FIRST NAME 

CALLED TWICE AND NO ONE IS THERE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION.  IT 

MAY BE GOD CALLING.  MOSES GAVE THE CORRECT RESPONSE - 

HERE I AM?  ARE YOU READY IF GOD CALLS?



Exodus 3:9-15  PG 100

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel 

is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression 

wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, 

that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of 

Israel out of Egypt.

And Moses said unto God, Who [am] I, that I should go unto 

Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of 

Israel out of Egypt?

And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this 

[shall be] a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When 

thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall 

serve God upon this mountain.

And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the 

children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of 

your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to 

me, What [is] his name? what shall I say unto them?

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus 

shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent 

me unto you.

And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto 

the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the 

God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, 

hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and 

this [is] my memorial unto all generations.

GOD TELLS MOSES THAT HE WILL BE WITH HIM. IF GOD IS WITH 

YOU THERE IS NO WAY YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED.  GOD TELLS MOSES 

THAT HIS NAME IS "I AM THAT I AM".  THE SELF EXISTENT ONE.  

THE MAKER OF ALL, THE SUSTAINER OF ALL.  JESUS SAID THAT 

BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS "I AM".  John 8:53-59 Art thou greater 

than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets 

are dead: whom makest thou thyself?   Jesus answered, If I 

honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that 

honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:  Yet ye 

have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I 

know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know 

him, and keep his saying.  Your father Abraham rejoiced to 

see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.  Then said the 

Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast 

thou seen Abraham?  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, 

I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.  Then took they 

up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went 

out of the temple, going through the midst of them, ...

JESUS JUST DISAPPEARED BEFORE THEIR EYES JUST AS THE FIRE 

LEFT THE FLAMING BUSH WHEN HE FINISHED SPEAKING WITH 

MOSES.



Exodus 3:19-22  PG 100

And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, 

no, not by a mighty hand.

And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all 

my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after 

that he will let you go.

And I will give this people favour in the sight of the 

Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye 

shall not go empty:

But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her 

that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels 

of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put [them] upon your 

sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the 

Egyptians.

GOD WOULD FORCE PHARAOH TO LET THE HEBREW SLAVES GO FREE 

AND WHEN THEY LEAVE THEY WILL BE GIVEN GREAT WEALTH FROM 

EGYPT AS WELL.



Exodus 4:10-15  PG 101

And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not 

eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken 

unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow 

tongue.

And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or 

who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? 

have not I the LORD?

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach 

thee what thou shalt say.

And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of 

him whom] thou wilt send.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and 

he said, [Is] not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know 

that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth 

to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in 

his heart.

And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: 

and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will 

teach you what ye shall do.

MOSES DID NOT WANT THE JOB GOD WAS GIVING HIM.  HE ARGUES 

WITH GOD TO THE POINT OF ANGERING GOD.  NO ONE IS 

INCAPABLE OF ANYTHING WHEN GOD IS HELPING YOU.  GOD CAN 

HELP US OVERCOME ANY SHORTCOMING.



Exodus 4:21-26  PG 102

And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return 

into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before 

Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden 

his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, 

Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:

And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: 

and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy 

son, [even] thy firstborn.

And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD 

met him, and sought to kill him.

Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin 

of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a 

bloody husband [art] thou to me.

So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou 

art], because of the circumcision.

MOSES KNEW VERY WELL OF GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM WHICH 

REQUIRED CIRCUMCISION.  ZIPPORAH HAD REFUSED TO LET MOSES 

CIRCUMCISE HIS SON WHICH ANGERED GOD TO THE POINT THAT GOD 

WOULD HAVE KILLED MOSES IF ZIPPORAH HAD NOT CIRCUMCISED 

THE BOY.  THERE IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE HERE.  HUSBANDS 

MUST OBEY GOD WHETHER THEIR WIVES AGREE OR NOT.  HUSBANDS 

ARE THE HIGH PRIESTS OF THE FAMILY.  MEN MUST NOT ABDICATE 

THEIR SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP POSITION IN THEIR HOMES.  THE 

WIFE MUST SUBMIT TO THE SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL AUTHORITY 

OF HER HUSBAND IN ORDER TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD.  WOMEN WHO 

ARE TOO INDEPENDENT, TOO INTELLIGENT, TOO STRONG WILLED TO 

SUBMIT TO THE AUTHORITY OF A HUSBAND SHOULD NOT MARRY OR 

RAISE CHILDREN.









JAN 23  EXO 5:1 - 8:32                    PG 103 - 107



Exodus 5:2   PG 103

And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey 

his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither 

will I let Israel go.

PHARAOH ASKED FOR IT?  HE IS GOING TO LEARN THE AWESOME 

POWER OF GOD.



Exodus 5:6-8  PG 103

And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the 

people, and their officers, saying,

Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as 

heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

And the tale of the bricks, which they did make 

heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish 

[ought] thereof: for they [be] idle; therefore they cry, 

saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our God.

PHARAOH INCREASED THE HARDSHIP OF THE SLAVES.  HE IS 

REALLY ASKING FOR IT.



Exodus 6:2-3  PG 104

And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] the 

LORD:

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, 

by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was 

I not known to them.

GOD REVEALED HIS NAME EL SHADDAY, GOD ALMIGHTY TO ABRAHAM.  

NOW HE LETS MOSES KNOW HIS NAME JEHOVAH, THE LORD.



Exodus 6:5-7  PG 104

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of 

Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have 

remembered my covenant.

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I [am] the 

LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of 

the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, 

and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with 

great judgments:

And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to 

you a God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your 

God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the 

Egyptians.

GOD ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES.  SOME OF HIS PROMISES ARE 

BLESSINGS AND SOME ARE CURSES.  HE WANTS TO BLESS US.  HE 

WANTS TO BE FREE OF THE BURDENS WE HAVE.  WE ARE IN 

BONDAGE TO SIN.  ONLY GOD CAN SET US FREE FROM THE BONDAGE 

OF SIN.



Exodus 7:1-7  PG 105

And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god 

to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy 

brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the 

children of Israel out of his land.

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs 

and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my 

hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, [and] my 

people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by 

great judgments.

And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I 

stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the 

children of Israel from among them.

And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did 

they.

And Moses [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore 

and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.

GOD HARDENED PHAROAH'S HEART FOR GOD'S GLORY.  EGYPT AND 

THE REST OF THE WORLD WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THE GREAT 

ALMIGHTY POWER OF GOD IF PHAROAH HAD LET THE HEBREWS GO 

AFTER THE FIRST FEW PLAGUES.  GOD IS SHOWING THE WORLD HIS 

ALMIGHTY POWER AGAIN TODAY THROUGH THE NATION OF ISRAEL.  

WHEN RUSSIA INVADES ISRAEL 5/6THS, 83% OF ALL RUSSIAN 

SOLDIERS WILL DIE AND ISRAEL MAY NOT EVEN FIRE A SHOT THAT 

THE WORLD WILL AGAIN SEE THE AWESOME POWER OF JEHOVAH THE 

LORD.  HAVE I HARDENED MY HEART AGAINST THIS ALMIGHTY GOD?

IT IS NOT SMART TO HARDEN YOUR HEART AGAINST GOD.



Exodus 7:19   PG 105

And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy 

rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, 

upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their 

ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may 

become blood; and [that] there may be blood throughout all 

the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in 

[vessels of] stone.

WATER WAS TURNED TO BLOOD.



Exodus 7:22  PG 105

And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: 

and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken 

unto them; as the LORD had said.

SATAN AND THE ENEMIES OF GOD MAY HAVE SOME POWER, BUT IT 

IS LIMITED.  GOD IS ALMIGHTY.  HIS POWER HAS NO LIMITS.  

NEVER FORGET THAT IF YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT GREATER 

IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.



Exodus 8:1-2   PG 106

And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say 

unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they 

may serve me.

And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite 

all thy borders with frogs:

FROGS, FROGS, FROGS EVERYWHERE.  NOT EVEN LIZZIE WOULD 

LIKE THIS MANY FROGS.





Exodus 8:5-7   PG 106

And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch 

forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the 

rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up 

upon the land of Egypt.

And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; 

and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and 

brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.

THE MAGICIANS ARE STILL ABLE TO STAY IN THE GAME.  COULD 

IT BE GOD'S POWER RATHER THAN SATAN'S POWER KEEPING THEM 

IN THE GAME UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD KNOW HOW POWERFUL 

THE GOD OF ISRAEL IS?



Exodus 8:15-21  PG 106

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened 

his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had 

said.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out 

thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may 

become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his 

rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice 

in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice 

throughout all the land of Egypt.

And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring 

forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon 

man, and upon beast.

Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger 

of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened 

not unto them; as the LORD had said.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the 

morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to 

the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my 

people go, that they may serve me.

Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will 

send swarms [of flies] upon thee, and upon thy servants, 

and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses 

of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms [of flies], and 

also the ground whereon they [are].

THE MAGICIANS WERE ABLE TO STAY IN THE GAME WITH THE LICE 

BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE BLOWN OUT OF THE GAME WITH FLIES 

AND ALL THE SUBSEQUENT PLAGUES BY WHICH GOD DEMONSTRATES 

HIS POWER TO PHAROAH AND ALL THE WORLD.



Exodus 8:24-25    PG 106 - 107

And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm [of 

flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants' 

houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was 

corrupted by reason of the swarm [of flies].

And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go 

ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.

PHAROAH LIES TO GET RID OF THE FLIES.  HE DOES NOT LET 

THEM GO.









JAN 24  EXO 9:1 - 11:10                   PG 107 - 110



Exodus 9:6-7  PG 107

And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the 

cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of 

Israel died not one.

And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the 

cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh 

was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

ALL THE CATTLE OF EGYPT DIED AND NONE OF THE HEBREWS 

CATTLE DIED.  PHARAOH'S HEART WAS HARDER STILL.



Exodus 9:9 & 11-12  PG 107

And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, 

and shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, 

and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.

And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of 

the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon 

all the Egyptians.

And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he 

hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto 

Moses.

THIS PLAGUE OF BOILS MUST HAVE BEEN VERY BAD.  THE 

MAGICIANS COULD NOT EVEN STAND BEFORE MOSES BECAUSE OF THE 

BOILS.  THEY WERE BLOWN OUT OF THE GAME SEVERAL PLAGUES 

AGO.  THIS SHOULD LET US KNOW HOW FOOLISH IT IS TO OPPOSE 

GOD AND HIS MINISTERS.  PHARAOH'S HEART IS HARDER STILL.  

IS MY HEART HARDENED TOWARD GOD?  IS MY HEART HARDENED 

TOWARD ANYONE?



Exodus 9:14-19

For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine 

heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that 

thou mayest know that [there is] none like me in all the 

earth.

For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee 

and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off 

from the earth.

And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, 

for to shew [in] thee my power; and that my name may be 

declared throughout all the earth.

As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou 

wilt not let them go?

Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a 

very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since 

the foundation thereof even until now.

Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that 

thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast 

which shall be found in the field, and shall not be 

brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they 

shall die.

PHARAOH WAS RAISED UP FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.  WE ALL SHOULD 

HAVE OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE IN LIFE TO GLORIFY GOD.  GOD 

SENDS A PLAGUE OF HAIL.  THERE HAS NEVER BEEN SUCH A HAIL 

ON EARTH.  THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SUCH HAIL COMING SOON.  

THIS IS THE HAIL WHICH WILL COME DURING THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION.



Exodus 9:23-26  PG 108

And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the 

LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon 

the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of 

Egypt.

So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very 

grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land 

of Egypt since it became a nation.

And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all 

that [was] in the field, both man and beast; and the hail 

smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the 

field.

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel 

[were], was there no hail.

NOTICE HOW GOD PROTECTED HIS PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL 

OF THESE PLAGUES.  DURING THE TRIBULATION GOD WILL PROVIDE 

SUPERNATURAL PROTECTION FOR HIS PEOPLE.  DON'T WORRY ABOUT 

THE RAPTURE OCCURRING AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION.  GET 

RIGHT WITH GOD.  WHEN YOU ARE UNDER THE GREAT UMBRELLA OF 

GOD'S PROTECTION YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE HURT BY THE PLAGUES 

OF THE THE GREAT TRIBULATION.  THE TEACHING OF A 

PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE MAY BE A PART OF THE END TIME 

STRONG DELUSION DESIGNED TO LEAD AWAY EVEN THE ELECT IF IT 

WERE POSSIBLE.  WE ALL MUST GET RIGHT WITH GOD AND STAY IN 

A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  THE PLAGUES SOON COMING 

AGAIN UPON ALL THE EARTH WILL DESTROY EVERYONE WHO IS NOT 

PROTECTED BY GOD.



Exodus 9:29-30  PG 108

And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the 

city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] 

the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more 

hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] the 

LORD'S.

But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not 

yet fear the LORD God.

WE KNOW THAT DURING THE GREAT TABULATION THE PLAGUES COME 

AS WAVES GROWING MORE AND MORE SEVERE.  MOST PEOPLE WILL 

HAVE THEIR HEARTS HARDENED AGAINST GOD INSTEAD OF 

REPENTING.



Exodus 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy 

son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in 

Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye 

may know how that I [am] the LORD.

ALL FATHERS ARE GIVEN BY GOD THE RESPONSIBILITY OF 

TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT GOD.  THIS BOOK "FAMILY, 

FRIENDS, AND COUNTRYMEN - LEND ME YOUR EARS" IS THE MEANS 

WHICH GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO FULFILL THAT OBLIGATION.  IT IS 

NOT THE MOTHER'S JOB IT IS THE FATHER'S JOB.

Exodus 10:7 And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long 

shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that 

they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet 

that Egypt is destroyed?

EVERYBODY BUT PHARAOH COULD SEE THAT THEY HAD TO LET GOD'S 

PEOPLE GO FREE.  EGYPT WAS DESTROYED AND HE WAS STILL 

ASKING FOR MORE DESTRUCTION.



Exodus 10:12   PG 109

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over 

the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up 

upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, 

[even] all that the hail hath left.

THE LOCUSTS DESTROYED EVERYTHING GREEN LEFT IN EGYPT.

Exodus 10:16-17  PG 109

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he 

said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against 

you.

Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, 

and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from 

me this death only.

IT SOUNDS LIKE PHARAOH FINALLY HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON.  

NOT SO.  EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS HE HAS SINNED AGAINST THE GOD 

OF ISRAEL IT IS JUST A PLOY TO GET THE PLAGUE STOPPED.



Exodus 10:20-22   PG 109

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would 

not let the children of Israel go.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand 

toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of 

Egypt, even darkness [which] may be felt.

And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and 

there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three 

days:

THE NEXT PLAGUE WAS 3 DAYS OF THICK DARKNESS.



Exodus 11:2-3   PG 110

Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man 

borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, 

jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.

And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the 

Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses [was] very great in the 

land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in 

the sight of the people.

THE HEBREW SLAVES WENT THROUGH THE LAND OF EGYPT 

COLLECTING GOLD SILVER AND JEWELS FROM ALL THE EGYPTIANS 

WHO WERE IN PANIC FEAR OF THEM AS A RESULT OF THE PLAGUES.

THE LAST PLAGUE WAS THAT OF DEATH OF ALL THE FIRST BORN.  

IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD WAS 

GRAPHICALLY SYMBOLIZING BY THE PASSOVER.  THE WAGES OF SIN 

IS DEATH.  IF WE ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB THAN 

GOD WILL PASS OVER US IN JUDGMENT OF OUR SINS AND WE WILL 

HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AND AVOID THE ETERNAL TORMENT OF HELL.









JAN 25  EXO 12:1 - 13:16                   PG 111 - 113



Exodus 12:3    PG 111

Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In 

the tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them 

every man a lamb, according to the house of [their] 

fathers, a lamb for an house:

EVERY MAN MUST HAVE A LAMB TO SHED ITS BLOOD IN ORDER TO 

BE PASSED OVER IN JUDGMENT BY GOD.  ALL OF OUR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY RAGS.  WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF 

BLOOD THERE IS NO REMISSION OF SINS.

Exodus 12:5-7  PG 111

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first 

year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the 

goats:

And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the 

same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of 

Israel shall kill it in the evening.

And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the 

two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, 

wherein they shall eat it.

THE LAMB MUST BE A PERFECT LAMB.  THE BLOOD OF THE PERFECT 

LAMB MUST BE SHED AND APPLIED TO THE DOOR OF YOUR HOUSE 

FOR GOD TO PASS OVER YOUR HOUSE IN JUDGMENT.



Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt 

this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land 

of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of 

Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD.



Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token 

upon the houses where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, 

I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you 

to destroy [you], when I smite the land of Egypt.



Exodus 12:15   PG 111

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first 

day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for 

whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until 

the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

SEVEN IS GOD'S NUMBER REPRESENTING COMPLETENESS.  LEVEN OR 

YEAST REPRESENTS SIN.  ONCE OUR SINS ARE COVERED BY THE 

BLOOD OF THE LAMB WE ARE REQUIRED AND EMPOWERED TO LIVE 

COMPLETELY FREE OF SIN.  ONLY GOD CAN EMPOWER US TO LIVE 

COMPLETELY FREE OF SIN.



Exodus 13:14-15  PG 113

And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, 

saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto him, By 

strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from 

the house of bondage:

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, 

that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, 

both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: 

therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the 

matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children 

I redeem.

WHEN YOUR CHILDREN SHALL ASK ABOUT THE THINGS OF GOD - BY 

THIS STRONG IMPLICATION FATHERS ARE REQUIRED BY GOD TO 

TEACH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT GOD.  HOPEFULLY THIS WORK WILL 

SERVE IN THIS OBLIGATION TO GOD FOR FATHERS WHO STRUGGLE 

WITH THIS OBLIGATION.







JAN 26  EXO 13:17 - 15:21                   PG 114 - 117



Exodus 13:21   PG 114

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a 

cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of 

fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

THE LORD LED THE NATION OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT.  HE LED 

THEM AS A PILLAR OF CLOUD BY DAY AND AS A PILLAR OF FIRE 

BY NIGHT.  THE LORD SHIELDED THEM BY THE CLOUD BY DAY AND 

GAVE THEM LIGHT TO CONTINUE THEIR MARCH BY NIGHT.  ONE 

WOULD EXPECT SUCH MIRACULOUS LEADING FOLLOWING THE GREAT 

PLAGUES WOULD HAVE PRODUCED UNSHAKABLE FAITH OF THE HEBREW 

NATION IN THEIR ALMIGHTY GOD.  UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT 

SO.



Exodus 14:4-5   PG 114

And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow 

after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon 

all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I [am] the 

LORD. And they did so.

And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: 

and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned 

against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, 

that we have let Israel go from serving us?

PHARAOH WAS GOING AFTER THE HEBREWS TO GET HIS SLAVES 

BACK.  ANYBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD HAVE LET THEM GO 

WAY BEFORE ALL THE DEVASTATION WHICH EGYPT SUFFERED DUE TO 

PHAROAH'S HARDNESS OF HEART.  IT WAS GOD WHO HAD HARDENED 

HIS HEART FOR THE PURPOSE OF REVEALING HIMSELF TO EGYPT.  

BECAUSE OF PHARAOH'S HARDNESS OF HEART EGYPT AND ALL THE 

WORLD SHOULD HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT THE GOD OF ISRAEL IS 

THE ONLY TRUE GOD.  SUCH POWERFUL ACTS OF GOD UPON EGYPT 

WOULD ALSO SERVE TO PUT FEAR OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL INTO THE 

HEARTS OF THE NATIONS WHICH ISRAEL WOULD PASS THROUGH AND 

HAVE TO CONQUER TO ENTER THE PROMISED LAND.



Exodus 14:13-14  PG 115

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, 

and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to 

you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye 

shall see them again no more for ever.

The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your 

peace.

THIS IS THE BIG LESSON WHICH I MUST SOMEHOW LEARN.  I MUST 

QUIT TRYING TO FIGHT MY OWN BATTLES.  MOSES TOLD THE 

PEOPLE, FEAR NOT, STAND STILL AND WATCH THE LORD FIGHT FOR 

YOU.  IF WE WILL ALLOW THE LORD TO FIGHT FOR US WE WILL 

ALWAYS BE VICTORIOUS.  IT IS NOT SMART TO FIGHT YOURSELF 

IF THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU.  YET HOW MANY TIMES DO WE 

TAKE THINGS OUT OF HIS HANDS?



Exodus 14:21-22   PG 115

And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the 

LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all 

that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters 

were divided.

And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea 

upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall unto 

them on their right hand, and on their left.

GOD DIVIDED THE RED SEA SO THAT THE ISRAELIS COULD WALK 

ACROSS THE RED SEA BOTTOM AS ON DRY GROUND WITH THE WATERS  

OF THE RED SEA WALLED UP ON BOTH SIDES.



Exodus 14:26-28    PG 115

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over 

the sea, that the waters may come again upon the 

Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.

And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the 

sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; 

and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew 

the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the 

horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the 

sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.

GOD DESTROYED THE ELITE POWERFUL ARMY OF EGYPT WHICH WAS 

PURSUING ISRAEL.   WORD OF THIS WOULD SPREAD QUICKLY 

THROUGH THE NATIONS THROUGH WHICH ISRAEL WOULD HAVE TO 

PASS AND CONQUER.  THIS DESTRUCTION OF THE EGYPTIAN ARMY 

BY THE GOD OF ISRAEL WOULD STRIKE FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF 

THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.  OUR GENERATION IS WITNESSING GOD 

DOING MIRACULOUS THINGS FOR ISRAEL.  WE SHOULD SEEK ALL 

THE INFORMATION WHICH WE CAN GET REGARDING WHAT IS 

HAPPENING IN ISRAEL TODAY.  GOD IS AGAIN FIGHTING FOR AND 

WITH ISRAEL.  WOE TO AMERICA OR ANY OTHER NATION WHO DARES 

TO SET ITSELF AGAINST ISRAEL.  WHAT AN EXCITING TIME IN 

WHICH TO LIVE.  OUR GENERATION IS WITNESSING GOD REGATHER 

ISRAEL TO THE PROMISED LAND.  WE CAN SEE GOD'S DIRECT 

INTERVENTION IN THE MIRACULOUS MILITARY VICTORIES OF 

ISRAEL SINCE 1963.  THE VICTORIES GET MORE MIRACULOUS AND 

WILL CLIMAX WHEN RUSSIA GETS AROUND TO GOING AFTER ISRAEL 

TO GET THE WEALTH OF THE MIDDLE EAST OIL FIELDS.  GOD 

HIMSELF WILL DESTROY 83% OF ALL OF RUSSIA'S ARMIES AND 

ISRAEL WILL NOT HAVE TO FIRE A SHOT.



Exodus 14:31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD 

did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, 

and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.

ONE WOULD THINK THAT THE EXPERIENCE OF SUCH POWERFUL 

MIRACULOUS DELIVERY BY GOD WOULD PRODUCE UNSHAKEABLE 

FAITH.  NOT SO, THESE ARE STIFFNECKED HUMAN SINNERS, JUST 

LIKE ME AND YOU.



Exodus 15:1-3  PG 115

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto 

the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, 

for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider 

hath he thrown into the sea.

The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my 

salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an 

habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.

SUCH MIRACLE DELIVERANCE BROUGHT FORTH THIS GREAT SONG OF 

PRAISE TO THE LORD.  IT IS A GOOD SONG FOR US TODAY:

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND SONG.

THE LORD IS MY SALVATION.

THE LORD IS MY GOD, I WILL PRAISE HIM.

THE LORD IS THE MOST MIGHTY WARRIOR.

THE LORD IS MAJESTIC IN POWER.

THE LORD'S ANGER CANNOT BE WITHSTOOD.

THE LORD'S ENEMY'S BOASTS WILL BE REDUCED TO RIDICULE.

THE LORD CAN DESTROY ANY AND ALL ENEMIES.

THE LORD IS GREATER THAN ANY AND ALL OTHER gODS.

THE LORD IS MAJESTIC IN HOLINESS

THE LORD IS AWESOME IN GLORY.

THE LORD WILL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER.



Exodus 15:11   PG 116

Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] 

like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, 

doing wonders?

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION.



Exodus 15:13-16  PG 116

Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou 

hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength 

unto thy holy habitation.

The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take 

hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of 

Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the 

inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of 

thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy 

people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, 

[which] thou hast purchased.

IF ISRAEL WILL MAINTAIN THIS TRUTHFUL ATTITUDE OF FAITH 

AND PRAISE THEY WILL HAVE A CAKEWALK WITH GOD LEADING THEM 

INTO THE PROMISED LAND.



Exodus 15:21   PG 117

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath 

triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he 

thrown into the sea.

MIRIAM IS MOSES AND AARON'S SISTER.  SHE IS A PROPHETESS.  

SHE TAKES UP TAMBOURINES AND BEGINS DANCING WITH HER OWN 

NEAT LITTLE SONG OF PRAISE TO GOD.



JAN 27  EX. 15:22 - 18:27               PG 117 - 121



Exodus 15:22   PG 117

So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went 

out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days 

in the wilderness, and found no water.

THEY WERE WITHOUT WATER IN THE DESERT FOR 3 DAYS.  THEY 

FOUND STAGNANT WATER THAT WAS BITTER.  MOSES PRAYED TO THE 

LORD AND THE LORD SHOWED MOSES A PIECE OF WOOD WHICH WHEN 

MOSES THREW INTO THE WATER IT WAS MIRACULOUSLY PURIFIED.



Exodus 15:26    PG 118

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of 

the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his 

sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all 

his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, 

which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I <am> the 

LORD that healeth thee.

THE LORD PROMISES TO KEEP US HEALTHY.  IF WE LISTEN TO THE 

VOICE OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT WHEN HE CONVICTS US OF OUR SINS 

AND IF WE WILL BE OBEDIENT.  THEN HE PROMISES TO BE THE 

LORD WHO HEALS US.  DOESN'T THAT BEAT ANY HEALTH INSURANCE 

PLAN YOU EVER HEARD OF?



Exodus 16:3   PG 118

And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we 

had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, 

when we sat by the flesh pots, <and> when we did eat bread 

to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this 

wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

THE ISRAELITES HAVE JUST SEEN GOD'S ALMIGHTY POWER TO 

DELIVER THEM OUT OF BONDAGE AND LOOK HOW QUICK THEY ARE TO 

FORGET HIS POWER INSTEAD IF DEPENDING ON HIS POWER THEY 

MURMUR AGAINST GOD AND HIS PROPHET MOSES.



Exodus 16:4    PG 118

Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread 

from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and 

gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, 

whether they will walk in my law, or no.

THE LORD MIRACULOUSLY RAINS DOWN MANNA FROM HEAVEN.  IF 

THE LORD HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES AND FEEDS YOU MANNA FROM 

HEAVEN WHY WOULD ANYONE EVER CONSIDER TAKING THE 666 MARK 

OF THE BEAST TO BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL?



Exodus 16:20    PG 118

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of 

them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and 

stank: and Moses was wroth with them.

THE PEOPLE REFUSE TO OBEY.  THE EXTRA MANNA THAT THEY 

GATHERED STANK AND PRODUCED MAGGOTS.







Exodus 16:28   PG 119

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep 

my commandments and my laws?

HERE IS A BIG QUESTION FOR ALL OF US.  WHAT IS IT THAT I 

KNOW GOD WANTS ME TO DO THAT I CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO DO?

Exodus 16:30   PG 119

So the people rested on the seventh day.

THE LORD GIVES HIS PEOPLE A DAY OF REST, TO CONCENTRATE ON 

HIM AND TO REST.



Exodus 16:35    PG 119

And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, 

until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, 

until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

THE LORD FED THE APPROXIMATELY 3 MILLION ISRAELITES IN THE 

SINAI DESERT 40 YEARS.  THERE IS NO FOOD OR WATER IN THE 

SINAI.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE TO 

TAKE SOME KIND OF 666 MARK IN YOUR FOREHEAD OR RIGHT WRIST 

IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET FOOD.



Exodus 17:6    PG 120

Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in 

Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come 

water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did 

so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

THERE IS NO WATER IN THE SINAI DESERT.  THE LORD PROVIDES 

SPRING WATER, FLOWING WATER, LIVING WATER OUT OF A ROCK IN 

THE SINAI DESERT.  THERE IS STRONG SYMBOLISM HERE POINTING 

TO THE CORNER STONE ROCK OF THE CHURCH JESUS CHRIST WHO 

GIVES US LIVING WATER IN THE MIDST OF A DRY AND THIRSTY 

LAND.  DO I HAVE A MURMURING AND COMPLAINING ATTITUDE LIKE 

THE ISRAELITES.  "IS THE LORD AMONG US OR NOT."



Exodus 17:11   PG 120

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that 

Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek 

prevailed.

MOSES HOLDS UP HIS HANDS AND THE WARRIORS OF ISRAEL 

PREVAIL.  HE LETS DOWN HIS HANDS AND THE AMELEKITES 

PREVAIL.



Exodus 18:8   PG 120

And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had 

done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, 

<and> all the travail that had come upon them by the way, 

and <how> the LORD delivered them.

MOSES TELLS JETHRO ABOUT ALL THE LORD HAS DONE FOR HIM AND 

ISRAEL.  ARE WE QUICK TO TESTIFY THE LORD'S POWER HELPING 

US?  CAN ANYONE SHARE SOMETHING WE HAVE SEEN GOD DO FOR 

US?







JAN 28  EX. 19:1 - 24:18                    PG 121 - 126



Exodus 19:5    PG 122

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep 

my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me 

above all people: for all the earth <is> mine:

IF!!!  IF I OBEY, THEN GOD BLESSES AND PROTECTS.  SATAN IS 

ALWAYS SEEKING TO STEAL KILL AND DESTROY.  IF WE OBEY GOD, 

SATAN IS POWERLESS BECAUSE GOD PROTECTS US.



Exodus 19:8   PG 122

And all the people answered together, and said, All that 

the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the 

words of the people unto the LORD.

TALK IS CHEAP.  THE PEOPLE PROMISE TO OBEY.  BUT ALMOST 

IMMEDIATELY THEY BREAK THEIR PROMISES OF OBEDIENCE IN A 

VERY BLATANT GROSS WAY.



Exodus 20:1-17   PG 123

And God spake all these words, saying,

I <am> the LORD thy God,

1)Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them

2)Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in       

  vain;

3)Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

4)Honour thy father and thy mother:

5)Thou shalt not kill.

6)Thou shalt not commit adultery.

7)Thou shalt not steal.

8)Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

9)Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife,

10)Thou shalt not covet any thing that <is> thy             

   neighbour's.

HOW ARE THESE COMMANDMENTS TO BE GROUPED IN ORDER TO COME 

UP WITH 10 COMMANDMENTS?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TAKE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN?

IS THE SABBATH TO BE ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY OR DOES IT MAKE 

ANY DIFFERENCE?

AT ANY RATE THIS IS THE BEST MORAL CODE EVER RECORDED.



Exodus 20:20  PG 124

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come 

to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, 

that ye sin not.

MANY PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR HELL FIRE AND 

BRIMSTONE PREACHING.  HOWEVER, WE SEE HERE, FROM THE WORD 

OF GOD THAT SUCH PREACHING, WHICH IS THE TEACHING TO FEAR 

GOD AND ONLY GOD, IS WHAT IS MOST EFFECTIVE TO KEEP US 

FROM SINNING.



Exodus 20:25   PG 124

And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not 

build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon 

it, thou hast polluted it.

GOD DOES NOT SANCTION FANCY ORNATE PLACES OF WORSHIP.  

JESUS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT GOD LOOKS AT THE ATTITUDE OF 

THE HEART.  HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE OUTWARD SHOW BUT 

WITH OUR HEART ATTITUDE.

Exodus 23:22   PG 124

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I 

speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an 

adversary unto thine adversaries.

BE OBEDIENT TO GOD AND THE LORD WILL PROTECT YOU.  

OBEDIENCE IS THE VITAL KEY TO OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD.



Exodus 23:25   PG 125

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless 

thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away 

from the midst of thee.

SERVE GOD, WORSHIP GOD, OBEY GOD - GOD PROVIDES, BLESSES, 

AND TAKES AWAY SICKNESS.



Exodus 23:31   PG 125

And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the 

sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the 

river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into 

your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

BY THE PROMISE AND DECLARATION OF ALMIGHTY GOD ISRAEL HAS 

BEEN GIVEN THE LAND FROM THE RED SEA TO LEBANON AND FROM 

THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA TO THE JORDAN RIVER.  THE ARABS HAVE 

NO PART IN IT AND IT MUST BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE 

OF HOW MANY TIMES GOD REPEATS THIS PARTICULAR PROMISE.  WE 

AND OUR NATION MUST STAND WITH ISRAEL AGAINST ANYONE WHO 

WOULD OPPOSE ISRAEL'S POSSESSION OF THIS LAND.



Exodus 24:9-10   PG 125

Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and 

seventy of the elders of Israel:  And they saw the God of 

Israel: and <there was> under his feet as it were a paved 

work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of 

heaven in <his> clearness.

MOSES, AARON, NADAB, ABIHU AND 70 ELDERS OF ISRAEL SAW 

GOD.



Exodus 24:18   PG 125

And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up 

into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and 

forty nights.

MOSES WENT UP TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN WITH GOD TO 

RECEIVE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS CARVED IN STONE AND WAS WITH 

GOD 40 DAYS.









JAN 29  EX. 25:1 - 28:43                    PG 126 - 131



Exodus 25:2   PG 126

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an 

offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his 

heart ye shall take my offering.

GOD LOVES CHEERFUL WILLING GIVERS.  ABRAHAM AND JACOB GAVE 

TITHES BEFORE THE LAW.  THE LAW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 

TITHING.  IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO GIVE TO GOD.  WE GIVE 

OFFERINGS AFTER WE HAVE GIVEN TITHES.  IF YOU GIVE 

GRUDGINGLY YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF NOT GIVING AT ALL.



Exodus 25:8   PG 127

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among 

them.

GOD PROMISES TO DWELL IN ISRAEL'S SANCTUARY.





CHAPTERS 25, 26, 27, 28 GIVE THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

CONSTRUCTING THE ARC, TABERNACLE, TABERNACLE FURNISHINGS, 

AND PRIEST'S GARMENTS.  DID ANYONE FIND ANY SPECIAL 

SYMBOLISM HERE?

AARON IS SELECTED BY GOD AS HIGH PRIEST.









JAN 30  EX. 29:1 - 31:18                 PG 131 - 135



Exodus 29:9   PG 132

And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, 

and put the bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall 

be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt 

consecrate Aaron and his sons.

AARON AND THE TRIBE OF LEVI ARE ORDAINED PRIESTS OF GOD.



Exodus 30:10   PG 133

And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it 

once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of 

atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon 

it throughout your generations: it <is> most holy unto the 

LORD.

ONCE A YEAR THE HIGH PRIEST WILL MAKE A BLOOD SACRIFICE TO 

ATONE FOR THE SINS OF ALL THE PEOPLE.  THIS POINTS TO WHAT 

JESUS WOULD DO ONCE FOR ALL PEOPLE ON CALVARY.  IT IS MOST 

HOLY TO THE LORD.



Exodus 30:12-15    PG 134

When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after 

their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for 

his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that 

there be no plague among them, when <thou> numberest them.

This they shall give, every one that passeth among them 

that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the 

sanctuary: (a shekel <is> twenty gerahs:) an half shekel 

<shall be> the offering of the LORD.  Every one that 

passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years 

old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.  The 

rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less 

than half a shekel, when <they> give an offering unto the 

LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

THE MEN, AT AGE 20, MUST PAY 1/2 SHECKLE TO BE COUNTED AS 

A PART OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL.  DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS 

WAS ONCE A YEAR OR ONCE FOR ALL?  WAS THIS THE 1/2 SHECKLE 

THAT PETER AND JESUS PAID WITH THE MONEY FROM THE FISHES 

MOUTH THAT THE LORD TOLD PETER TO CATCH?



Exodus 31:1-3    PG 134

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  See, I have called 

by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the 

tribe of Judah:  And I have filled him with the spirit of 

God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, 

and in all manner of workmanship,

GOD CHOOSES HIS OWN WORKERS.  HE GIVES HIS HOLY SPIRIT 

POWER TO EQUIP THE WORKERS HE CHOOSES.



Exodus 31:18    PG 135

And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of 

communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of 

testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of 

God. 10 COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN BY GOD'S OWN HAND.









JAN 31  EX. 32:1 - 34:35                  PG 136 - 139



Exodus 32:1  PG 136

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down 

out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together 

unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which 

shall go before us; for <as for> this Moses, the man that 

brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is 

become of him.

HOW QUICK, ONLY 1 MONTH, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL BREAK THEIR 

SOLEMN PROMISE TO GOD.  THEY TURN TO IDOLATRY AND SEXUAL 

IMMORALITY.



Exodus 32:9   PG 136

And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, 

and, behold, it <is> a stiffnecked people:  Now therefore 

let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and 

that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great 

nation.

GOD TELLS MOSES HOW THE PEOPLE ARE SINNING AND THAT GOD 

WILL DESTROY THEM AND MAKE A NEW NATION OF MOSES.



Exodus 32:11-14   PG 136

And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why 

doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast 

brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, 

and with a mighty hand?  Wherefore should the Egyptians 

speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to 

slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the 

face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent 

of this evil against thy people.  Remember Abraham, Isaac, 

and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine 

own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed 

as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have 

spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall 

inherit <it> for ever.  And the LORD repented of the evil 

which he thought to do unto his people.

UNLIKE MOST PEOPLE, MOSES THOUGHT NOTHING OF THE PERSONAL 

GREATNESS GOD WAS OFFERING HIM IN THE MIDST OF HIS ANGER.  

MOSES PLEADS WITH GOD, FOR THE SAKE OF GOD'S OWN GLORY, 

NOT TO DESTROY ISRAEL.  SIN CAN MAKE GOD FURIOUSLY ANGRY.  

OUR HEARTS HAVE TO BE LIKE MOSES WITH JEALOUSY AND 

OVERRIDING CONCERN FOR GOD'S GLORY.  MOSES' CONCERN FOR 

GOD'S GLORY CAUSED GOD TO CHANGE HIS MIND AND NOT DESTROY 

ISRAEL.



Exodus 32:19   PG 136

And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the 

camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' 

anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, 

and brake them beneath the mount.

MOSES IN HIS ANGER BREAKS THE TABLES OF STONE UPON WHICH 

GOD HAD WRITTEN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.



Exodus 32:24   PG 137

And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them 

break <it> off. So they gave <it> me: then I cast it into 

the fire, and there came out this calf.

HOW ABOUT AARON'S EXCUSE?  COULD IT BE THAT SATAN MADE IT 

HAPPEN AS AARON HAD SAID?  IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ALL 

APPARENT MIRACLES ARE NOT FROM GOD.  ANTICHRIST AND HIS 

AGENTS WILL HAVE MANY PRETENDED SIGNS AND LYING WONDERS.



Exodus 32:27   PG 137

And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, 

Put every man his sword by his side, <and> go in and out 

from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man 

his brother, and every man his companion, and every man 

his neighbour.  And the children of Levi did according to 

the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day 

about three thousand men.

SIN DOES NOT GO UNPUNISHED.  IF WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE 

CONSEQUENCES OF OUR SINS WE WOULD PROBABLY NOT SIN.  ALL 

SUFFERING IS A RESULT OF SIN.  THE THING THAT IS HARD TO 

UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE SUFFERING ARE NOT 

NECESSARILY OR NOT EVEN GENERALLY THE ONES WHO DO THE 

SINNING.



Exodus 33:3  PG 137

Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go 

up in the midst of thee; for thou <art> a stiffnecked 

people: lest I consume thee in the way.

GOD DOES NOT STAY WITH HIS PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS.  

DON'T THINK WE ARE NOT JUST AS STIFFNECKED AS THEY ARE.  

HIS ANGER AT SIN IS SO HOT THAT HE IS LIKELY TO UTTERLY 

DESTROY THEM AT THEIR NEXT INFRACTION.  HE DOES LEAVE THEM 

HIS ANGEL TO LEAD THEM.  BUT GOD MUST EITHER SEPARATE 

HIMSELF FROM SINNERS OR DESTROY THEM.



Exodus 33:15-16  PG 138

And he said unto him, If thy presence go not <with me>, 

carry us not up hence.  For wherein shall it be known here 

that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? <is 

it> not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be 

separated, I and thy people, from all the people that 

<are> upon the face of the earth.

MOSES PLEADS WITH GOD FOR THE LORD HIMSELF TO GO WITH THE 

PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.  GOD'S PRESENCE WITH HIS PEOPLE IS THE 

ONLY THING WHICH CAN TRULY DISTINGUISH ANYONE.



Exodus 33:18-20  PG 138

And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.  And he 

said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I 

will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will 

be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show 

mercy on whom I will show mercy.  And he said, Thou canst 

not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.



BECAUSE OF GOD'S LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP FOR MOSES GOD'S ANGER 

AGAINST ALL ISRAEL IS TEMPERED.  GOD AGREES TO GO HIMSELF 

WITH ISRAEL. AND, HE SHOWS MOSES HIS GLORY.

GOD IS GOD.  GOD CHOOSES WHO HE WILL HAVE MERCY UPON AND 

UPON WHOM HE WILL NOT HAVE MERCY.



Exodus 34:6-7  PG 138 - 139

And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The 

LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, 

and abundant in goodness and truth,  Keeping mercy for 

thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, 

and that will by no means clear <the guilty>; visiting the 

iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the 

children's children, unto the third and to the fourth 

<generation>.

GOD DESCRIBES HIMSELF - THE LORD, THE LORD, MERCIFUL, 

GRACIOUS, LONGSUFFERING, ABUNDANT IN GOODNESS AND TRUTH.



Exodus 34:14   PG 139

For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose 

name <is> Jealous, <is> a jealous God:

DO NOT WORSHIP ANY OTHER GOD.



Exodus 34:29    PG 139

And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai 

with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he 

came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the 

skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

MOSES' FACE WAS RADIANT AND SHINED BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN 

SPEAKING WITH THE LORD.

FEB 1  EX. 35:1 - 39:1                   PG 140 - 145



Exodus 35:4-5    PG 140

And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children 

of Israel, saying, This <is> the thing which the LORD 

commanded, saying,  Take ye from among you an offering 

unto the LORD: whosoever <is> of a willing heart, let him 

bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and 

brass,

GIVE TO THE LORD WITH A WILLING HEART OR DON'T GIVE AT 

ALL.



Exodus 36:6-7   PG 141

And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be 

proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man 

nor woman make any more work for the offering of the 

sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.  

For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to 

make it, and too much.

THE PEOPLE HAD TO BE RESTRAINED FROM GIVING.









FEB 2  EX. 39:2 - 40:35                   PG 145 - 147



THE TABERNACLE WAS COMPLETED ALONG WITH THE CLOTHING FOR 

THE PRIESTS.  AARON WAS ANOINTED HIGH PRIEST ALSO HIS SONS 

WERE ANOINTED AS PRIESTS.  DID ANYONE FIND ANY SPECIAL 

SYMBOLISM IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABERNACLE?



Exodus 40:15  PG 147

And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their 

father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's 

office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting 

priesthood throughout their generations.

WHAT ABOUT THE EVERLASTING PRIESTHOOD?  DID IT END AT THE 

CRUCIFIXION WHEN THE CURTAIN WAS TORN TOP TO BOTTOM?  DID 

IT END IN 70AD WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED?



Exodus 40:34-35  PG 147

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the 

glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.  And Moses was 

not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, 

because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD 

filled the tabernacle.

WHEN THE TABERNACLE WAS COMPLETED THE GLORY OF THE LORD 

FILLED THE TABERNACLE.













FEB 3  LEV. 8:1 - 10:20                   PG 147 - 151



Leviticus 8:4 - Moses did as [the LORD commanded] PG 148

Leviticus 8:5 - [the LORD commanded] to be done.  PG 148

Leviticus 8:9 - as [the LORD commanded] Moses.    PG 148

Leviticus 8:13 - as [the LORD commanded] Moses.   PG 148

Leviticus 8:17 - as [the LORD commanded] Moses.   PG 148

Leviticus 8:21 - as [the LORD commanded] Moses.   PG 149

Leviticus 8:29 - as [the LORD commanded] Moses.   PG 149

Leviticus 8:36 - all things which [the LORD commanded]

Leviticus 9:6 - [the LORD commanded] that ye should do:

Leviticus 9:7 - as [the LORD commanded].          PG 150

Leviticus 9:10 - as [the LORD commanded] Moses.   PG 150

DOES THE LORD HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMMAND US - YOU BETTER 

BELIEVE HE DOES.

OBEDIENCE IS DOING WHAT THE LORD COMMANDS.  SIN IS 

REBELLION AGAINST THE LORD'S COMMANDS.  OBEDIENCE IS 

BETTER THAN SACRIFICE. 1 Samuel 15:22 - And Samuel said, 

Hath the LORD <as great> delight in burnt offerings and 

sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, 

to obey <is> better than sacrifice, <and> to hearken than 

the fat of rams.  GOD WILL EITHER SEPARATE HIMSELF FROM OR 

DESTROY THE SINNER.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE OBEY AND DO WHAT THE LORD COMMANDS?

THE LORD IS WITH US, THE LORD BLESSES US, THE LORD 

PROVIDES FOR US, THE LORD PROTECTS US, THE LORD HEALS US, 

THE LORD BECOMES ALL WE NEED, THE LORD BECOMES SO VERY 

MUCH MORE THAN WE NEED.



Leviticus 9:23 - 10:3  PG 150

And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the 

congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and 

the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people. And 

there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed 

upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: <which> 

when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their 

faces.  And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took 

either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put 

incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, 

which he commanded them not.  And there went out fire from 

the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the 

LORD.  Then Moses said unto Aaron, This <is it> that the 

LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come 

nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. 

And Aaron held his peace.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO NOT DO AS THE LORD COMMANDS.  IT 

IS EASY TO SEE IN THIS OLD TESTAMENT EXAMPLE UNDER THE 

LAW.  AARON'S SONS NADAB AND ABIHU HAD ACCOMPANIED MOSES 

AND THE 70 ELDERS TO A BANQUET WITH THE LORD ON SINAI (EX 

24;1-11).  THEY HAD JUST BEEN SET APART FOR THE MINISTRY.  

NOW THROUGH SELF-EXULTATION, PRIDE, AND DRUNKENNESS THEY 

COMMITTED SIN AND DIED IN THE FIRE GOD SENT AS PUNISHMENT.



THIS IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE 

SINNING PAID THE PRICE DIRECTLY AND IMMEDIATELY AT HE HAND 

OF GOD.  TODAY IT IS NOT SO EASY TO SEE AND SO CLEAR CUT.  

NOW WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE.  NOW WE ARE 

PART OF THE CHURCH.  JESUS PAID THE FULL PRICE FOR OUR 

SINS ON CALVARY.  DOES THAT GIVE US A LICENCE TO SIN?

WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS TO 

UNDERSTAND IN THE WHOLE CHRISTIAN FAITH.  NOW GOD'S 

PROTECTION IS LIFTED AND SATAN IS ALLOWED TO STEAL, KILL, 

AND DESTROY.  THE SINNER GIVES A LICENCE TO SATAN.  SATAN 

WANTS TO HANG ON TO THAT LICENCE SO HE DOESN'T STEAL FROM, 

KILL, OR DESTROY THE SINNER.  SATAN USES THAT LICENCE THAT 

THE SINNER GIVES HIM TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY OTHERS IN 

THE LOCAL CHURCH BODY.  IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER WE WILL 

KEEP THE LORD'S COMMANDMENTS.  THE PEOPLE WE LOVE END UP 

SUFFERING FOR OUR SINS AT THE HANDS OF SATAN IN THE HERE 

AND NOW.   1 Corinthians 11:27-30   Wherefore whosoever 

shall eat this bread, and drink <this> cup of the Lord, 

unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the 

Lord. {28} But let a man examine himself, and so let him 

eat of <that> bread, and drink of <that> cup. {29} For he 

that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh 

damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. {30} 

For this cause many <are> weak and sickly among you, and 

many sleep.









FEB 4  NUM. 3:1-13, 7:6-8:22             PG 152 - 157



Numbers 7:89   PG 157

And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the 

congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of 

one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that <was> 

upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: 

and he spake unto him.



THE LEVITES ARE CHOSEN BY GOD AS THE PRIESTS TO ASSIST 

AARON AND HIS SONS.  EACH OF THE 12 TRIBES BRINGS GOLD AND 

SILVER VESSELS, MEAT OFFERINGS, BURNT OFFERINGS, SIN 

OFFERINGS, AND PEACE OFFERINGS AND THE TABERNACLE IS SET 

UP AND OPENED UP TO ALL OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.  MOSES 

COULD HEAR GOD SPEAKING TO HIM FROM THE MERCY SEAT FROM 

INSIDE THE HOLY OF HOLYS.  NO ONE COULD GO INSIDE THE HOLY 

OF HOLYS EXCEPT AARON THE HIGH PRIEST ONCE A YEAR ON THE 

DAY OF ATONEMENT.









FEB 5  NUM. 9:1-12, 1:1-2:24               PG 157 - 162



Numbers 9:10 - 12    PG 158

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of 

you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a 

dead body, or <be> in a journey afar off, yet he shall 

keep the passover unto the LORD.  The fourteenth day of 

the second month at even they shall keep it, <and> eat it 

with unleavened bread and bitter <herbs>.  They shall 

leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of 

it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they 

shall keep it.

IF BECAUSE OF A DEATH IN THE FAMILY OR BECAUSE OF BEING 

AWAY ON A TRIP THE PEOPLE COULD NOT CELEBRATE THE LORD'S 

PASSOVER ON THE 14TH DAY OF THE FIRST MONTH THEY COULD 

CELEBRATE THIS HOLY FEAST TO THE LORD ON THE 14TH DAY OF 

THE SECOND MONTH.



Numbers 1:46   PG 161

Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand 

and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

THE ISRAELITE ARMY WAS MADE UP OF ALL THE ABLE BODIED MEN 

20 AND OLDER EXCEPT FOR THE LEVITE PRIESTS = 603,550 MEN.

3 TRIBES OF ABOUT 15O,OOO WOULD CAMP ON EACH OF THE 4 

SIDES OF THE TABERNACLE AND THE LEVITES WOULD CAMP AROUND 

THE TABERNACLE AND ASSEMBLE, DISASSEMBLE AND CARRY THE 

PARTS OF THE TABERNACLE WHEN ISRAEL WAS ON THE MARCH.  

TOTAL SIZE OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL IS BETWEEN 2 AND 3 

MILLION.









FEB 6  NUM. 3:14 - 4:49                PG 162 - 166



Numbers 4:5-15  PG 163 -164

And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and 

his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and 

cover the ark of testimony with it:

And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and 

shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall 

put in the staves thereof.

And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth 

of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and 

the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual 

bread shall be thereon:

And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and 

cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and 

shall put in the staves thereof.

And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the 

candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, 

and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, 

wherewith they minister unto it:

And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a 

covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar.

And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of 

blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and 

shall put to the staves thereof:

And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, 

wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put [them] 

in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of 

badgers' skins, and shall put [them] on a bar:

And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and 

spread a purple cloth thereon:

And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, 

wherewith they minister about it, [even] the censers, the 

fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the 

vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a 

covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.

And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering 

the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as 

the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath 

shall come to bear [it]: but they shall not touch [any] 

holy thing, lest they die. These [things are] the burden 

of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the 

congregation.



EVERYONE WAS ASSIGNED SPECIFIC DUTIES REGARDING THE CARE 

OF THE TABERNACLE.  NO ONE COULD EVER SEE THE MOST HOLY 

THINGS, THE ARC OF THE COVENANT EXCEPT AARON AND HIS SONS.

ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD EVER GET A GLIMPSE OF THE ARC WHEN 

GOD'S GLORIOUS PRESENCE WAS ON THE MERCY SEAT WOULD DIE.









FEB 7  NUM. 9:15-23 AND 10:1 - 11:35         PG 166 - 170



Numbers 10:9   PG 166

And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that 

oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the 

trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your 

God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

GOD PROMISES TO PROTECT ISRAEL FORM HER ENEMIES.  OUR 

GENERATION HAS SEEN THIS PROPHESY FULFILLED MORE CLEARLY 

THAN ANY OTHER IN HISTORY.  THE SIX DAY WAR, THE YOM 

KIPPUR WAR, AND THE 1982 WAR ARE THE BEST HISTORICAL 

FULFILLMENTS OF THIS PROPHESY.  ISRAEL HAS BEEN 

OUTNUMBERED BY THE ARABS ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 6 TO 1.  IN 

1982 THE BIGGEST AIR TO AIR BATTLE IN HISTORY TOOK PLACE.  

SYRIA WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUSSIAN MIGS.  

THE RESULTS OF THAT AIR BATTLE 92 TO 0 IN FAVOR OF ISRAEL.  

SOME SYRIAN COULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF A LUCKY SHOT EXCEPT FOR 

THIS PROPHESY.  WE MUST STAND WITH ISRAEL OR WE STAND 

AGAINST GOD.



Numbers 9:22-23   PG 167

Or <whether it were> two days, or a month, or a year, that 

the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, 

the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed 

not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed. {23} At the 

commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at 

the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the 

charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the 

hand of Moses.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ISRAELITES HAVE FINALLY GOT IT.  WHEN 

THE LORD SAYS GO THEY GO.  WHEN THE LORD SAYS STOP AND 

REST THEY STOP AND REST.  IT TOOK A LOT TO GET THEM TO 

STOP MURMURING AND DOUBTING GOD.  3000 HAD DIED AT THE 

HANDS OF THE LEVITES.  AARONS SONS NADAB AND ABIHU ARE 

KILLED BY FIRE FROM GOD.  THEY COLLECT MANNA EVERY DAY.  

WATER FLOWS FROM THE ROCKS OF THE DESERT.  NOW THEY 

FINALLY SEEM TO BE OBEDIENT.  HOW LONG WILL THEY FOLLOW 

GOD WITHOUT DOUBTS, MURMURING, AND REBELLION?



Numbers 10:35-36  PG 168

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses 

said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; 

and let them that hate thee flee before thee.  And when it 

rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands 

of Israel.

AS ISRAEL MARCHED THE FEAR OF THE LORD WENT BEFORE THEM.  

GOD SCATTERED THEIR ENEMIES.  IF GOD WOULD BE WITH THEM 

THEY WOULD ALWAYS BE VICTORIOUS.



Numbers 11:5-6    PG 168

We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; 

the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the 

onions, and the garlic:  But now our soul <is> dried away: 

<there is> nothing at all, beside this manna, <before> our 

eyes.

IT DOESN'T TAKE THEM LONG TO START COMPLAINING.  GOD HAS 

DELIVERED THEM FROM HARD SLAVERY.  THEY ARE AT REST AND AT 

EASE ON A CONTINUAL CAMPOUT WITH GOD PROVIDING THEIR EVERY 

NEED AND THEY START STINKIN THINKIN.  ARE WE NOT THE SAME 

WAY?  ONE THING IS CLEAR.  HUMANS ARE NATURAL COMPLAINERS.  

GOD WANTS US TO BE CHEERFUL.  WE NEED TO CONTINUALLY COUNT 

OUR BLESSINGS AND KNOW THAT GOD DOES NOT LIKE COMPLAINING 

AND GRIPING.       MEMORIZE - Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever 

things <are> honest, whatsoever things <are> just, 

whatsoever things <are> pure, whatsoever things <are> 

lovely, whatsoever things <are> of good report; if <there 

be> any virtue, and if <there be> any praise, think on 

these things.



Numbers 11:10-11   PG 168

Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their 

families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger 

of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was 

displeased.  And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast 

thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found 

favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all 

this people upon me?

EVEN MOSES IS COMPLAINING IN HIS PRAYER.  GOD SURE HAS 

INFINITE PATIENCE.

Numbers 11:23   PG 169

And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed 

short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to 

pass unto thee or not.

IN THE LIVING BIBLE - "WHEN DID I BECOME WEAK?"  NOTHING 

IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LORD - EVEN FEEDING 3 MILLION 

GRIPING, COMPLAINING, DOUBTING, REBELLIOUS PEOPLE MEAT 

TILL THEY ARE SICK OF IT FOR A WHOLE MONTH IN THE MIDDLE 

DESERT.



Numbers 11:24 -25    PG 169

And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the 

LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the 

people, and set them round about the tabernacle.  And the 

LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of 

the spirit that <was> upon him, and gave <it> unto the 

seventy elders: and it came to pass, <that>, when the 

spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not 

cease.

HERE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF WHY I LIKE THE KING 

JAMES TRANSLATION BETTER THAN ANY OTHER.  THE KING JAMES 

TRANSLATION HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.  NO ONE WAS OUT TO 

MAKE MONEY WITH IT.  IT IS NOT COPYRIGHTED.  HOW BAD IS IT 

TO COPYRIGHT THE WORD OF GOD.  JESUS SAID FREELY YOU HAVE 

RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.  THE MINISTRY OF THE PROPHET HAS 

ALWAYS BEEN WITH MAN ON EARTH.  IT IS SERIOUS ERROR TO 

THINK ALL PROPHETS ARE CRAZY.  WE ARE WARNED TO BEWARE OF 

FALSE PROPHETS.  THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN THE LAST 

DAYS.  HOW DO YOU TEST A PROPHET?  WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF 

SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A PROPHET OR WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE A 

WORD OF PROPHESY?  I HAVE PREPARED A WORD STUDY A OF 

PROPHETS, PROPHESY LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY.  

IF TIME PERMITS WE WILL DISCUSS THIS SUBJECT IN MORE 

DETAIL AT THE END OF COVERING FEB 9 MATERIAL.  AS WE DRAW 

NEAR AND PERHAPS ENTER INTO THE FINAL 7 YEARS OF GREAT 

TRIBULATION THE CHURCH'S NEED FOR TRUE PROPHETS GROWS.  

EACH CHURCH HAS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE TRUE PROPHET AND 

THERE IS NO REASON WHY ALL COULD NOT HAVE THIS GIFT.  THE 

MAJORITY OF NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES WOULD SEEM TO 

INDICATE THAT THE CHURCH SHOULD HAVE MANY TRUE PROPHETS.

Acts 2:16-18

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I 

will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons 

and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men 

shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:



Acts 21:8-9

And the next <day> we that were of Paul's company 

departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the 

house of Philip the evangelist, which was <one> of the 

seven; and abode with him.  And the same man had four 

daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.



Romans 12:6

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is 

given to us, whether prophecy, <let us [prophesy>] 

according to the proportion of faith;



1 Corinthians 14:1

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual <gifts>, but 

rather that ye may [prophesy].



1 Corinthians 14:22-25

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that 

believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying 

<serveth> not for them that believe not, but for them 

which believe.  If therefore the whole church be come 

together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and 

there come in <those that are> unlearned, or unbelievers, 

will they not say that ye are mad?  But if all prophesy, 

and there come in one that believeth not, or <one> 

unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and 

so falling down on <his> face he will worship God, and 

report that God is in you of a truth.



NOT ONLY DID MOSES NOT CARE THAT OTHERS WERE PROPHESYING 

BUT HE WISHED THAT THE LORD WOULD PUT HIS HOLY SPIRIT ON 

THEM ALL AND THAT THEY ALL WOULD PROPHESY.  NUM. 11:30

Numbers 12:1-2    PG 170

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the 

Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an 

Ethiopian woman.  And they said, Hath the LORD indeed 

spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And 

the LORD heard <it>.

PRIDE IS A SIN.  IT WILL GET US INTO ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE.  

I WAS RAISED TO THINK PRIDE WAS A VIRTUE.  IT IS A SIN 

THAT LEADS TO NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.  THE OTHER THING GOING 

ON HERE IS SPEAKING AGAINST THE LORD'S ANOINTED.  THAT IS 

DANGEROUS BUSINESS.  I AM UNDER CONVICTION ON BOTH COUNTS 

NOW OF PRIDE AND SPEAKING AGAINST THE LORD'S ANOINTED 

RIGHT NOW.  I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS.



Numbers 12:3   PG 170

(Now the man Moses <was> very meek, above all the men 

which <were> upon the face of the earth.)   HERE IS 

ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE THE KJV PROBABLY IS A LITTLE BETTER 

TRANSLATION THAN THE NIV.  THE NIV USES THE WORD HUMBLE 

WHICH IS PART OF MEEKNESS.  MEEKNESS IS MORE THAN HUMILITY 

AND IS A BETTER DESCRIPTION OF MOSES.  MEEK IS DEFINED AS 

ENDURING INJURY WITH PATIENCE AND WITHOUT RESENTMENT.  

MEEKNESS IS NOT WEAKNESS.  MEEKNESS IS POWER UNDER 

CONTROL.  CHARLES STORY IS AN EXAMPLE OF MEEKNESS.



Numbers 12:7-8   PG 170

My servant Moses <is> not so, who <is> faithful in all 

mine house.  With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even 

apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude 

of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not 

afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

MOSES WAS CLOSER TO GOD THAN ANY OTHER MAN ON EARTH.  WE 

SHOULD ALWAYS BE AFRAID TO SPEAK AGAINST GOD'S ANOINTED 

SERVANTS.  WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GIFTED SERVANT 

AND AN ANOINTED SERVANT OF GOD?



Numbers 12:9   PG 171

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he 

departed.

IT MAKES GOD ANGRY WHEN SOMEONE SPEAKS AGAINST GOD'S 

ANOINTED.  WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN MAKING GOD ANGRY WITH 

YOU?



Numbers 12:13-14   PG 171

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O 

God, I beseech thee.  And the LORD said unto Moses, If her 

father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed 

seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, 

and after that let her be received in <again>.

MOSES ASKS GOD TO HEAL MARIAM'S LEPROSY. BECAUSE MOSES 

ASKS GOD AGREES TO HEAL HER BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY.  SPITTING 

IN THE FACE WAS HELD BY ORIENTAL PEOPLE AS A SIGN OF GREAT 

CONTEMPT.  THE IDEA HERE IS THAT IF HER FATHER HAD SPIT IN 

HER FACE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREATLY HUMILIATED.  HOW MUCH 

MORE SHOULD SHE BE HUMILIATED IF SHE HAD BEEN REJECTED BY 

GOD FOR WRONGDOING.



Numbers 13:30-31   PG 172

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let 

us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to 

overcome it.  But the men that went up with him said, We 

be not able to go up against the people; for they <are> 

stronger than we.

GOD GIVES US EVERY REASON TO TRUST HIM.  WHY DO WE 

SOMETIMES FAIL TO TRUST HIM?  IF GOD BE FOR YOU, WHO CAN 

BE AGAINST YOU?  READ ROMANS 8, OR PSALM 103 THE NEXT TIME 

YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED.



Numbers 14:2   PG 172

And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and 

against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, 

Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would 

God we had died in this wilderness!

GOD ANSWERS THE MURMURING PRAYER OF ALL THE ISRAELITES.  

THEY WILL ALL DIE IN THIS WILDERNESS.  MURMURING IS VERY 

DANGEROUS.  GOD KNOWS OUR EVERY THOUGHT.  HE JUST MIGHT 

ANSWER OUR MURMURING OR COMPLAINING.  ONE OF THE EASIEST 

THINGS FOR A HUMAN BEING TO DO IS TO FIND FAULT.  GOD HAS 

GIVEN US BRAINS.  WE ARE TO USE THESE BRAINS TO FIND 

VIRTUE AND FIND THINGS WORTHY OF PRAISE.  IT WOULD BE GOOD 

FOR ALL OF US TO MEMORIZE.  Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever 

things <are> honest, whatsoever things <are> just, 

whatsoever things <are> pure, whatsoever things <are> 

lovely, whatsoever things <are> of good report; if <there 

be> any virtue, and if <there be> any praise, think on 

these things.



Numbers 14:8   PG 173

If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this 

land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and 

honey.

IS THE LORD DELIGHTED WITH YOU?  REMEMBER THE COMMERCIAL 

"IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS" THAT IS HOW IT WOULD 

BE IF THE LORD IS DELIGHTED WITH YOU.



Numbers 14:9   PG 173

Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the 

people of the land; for they <are> bread for us: their 

defence is departed from them, and the LORD <is> with us: 

fear them not.

HERE IS THE CHOICE WE ALL GET TO MAKE EVERY DAY.  IT IS A 

CHOICE.  WE CHOOSE FEAR OR WE CHOOSE FAITH.  IT IS A 

CHOICE.  GOD IS DELIGHTED WHEN WE TRUST HIM AND CHOOSE TO 

LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT FEAR.  JESUS WAS THE BEST TEACHER ON 

THIS SUBJECT.

Numbers 14:10   PG 173

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And 

the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the 

congregation before all the children of Israel.

THIS IS STILL WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO TRY TO 

ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TRUST IN GOD.  THE PEOPLE THREATENED 

TO KILL THEM.



Numbers 14:11   PG 173

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people 

provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, 

for all the signs which I have showed among them?

HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE I QUIT SINNING AND STOP 

PROVOKING GOD?  HOW LONG WILL IT BE UNTIL I TRUST HIM 

COMPLETELY TO MEET ALL MY NEEDS?  WE HAVE ALL SEEN GOD DO 

GREAT MIRACLES.



Numbers 14:18-24   PG 173

The LORD <is> longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving 

iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing <the 

guilty>, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the 

children unto the third and fourth <generation>.

Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people 

according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou 

hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

But <as> truly <as> I live, all the earth shall be filled 

with the glory of the LORD.  Because all those men which 

have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt 

and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten 

times, and have not hearkened to my voice;  Surely they 

shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, 

neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:  But my 

servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and 

hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land 

whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

MOSES ASKS GOD TO FORGIVE THE PEOPLE.  THE PEOPLE ARE 

FORGIVEN BUT THEIR SIN DOES NOT GO TOTALLY UNPUNISHED.  

CHRIST PAID THE FULL PRICE FOR ALL OF OUR SINS ON CALVARY.  

YET THERE ARE STILL CONSEQUENCES OF OUR SINS.  THE 

ISRAELITES OF THE SINNING GENERATION ALL DIED IN THE 

DESERT.  NONE OF THEM ENTERED THE PROMISED LAND EXCEPT 

JOSHUA AND CALEB.



Numbers 14:40-42   PG 174

And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up 

into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we <be here>, 

and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath 

promised: for we have sinned.  And Moses said, Wherefore 

now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it 

shall not prosper.  Go not up, for the LORD <is> not among 

you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

IF GOD IS WITH YOU - NO PROBLEM.  IF GOD IS NOT WITH YOU - 

DON'T DO IT.









FEB 9  NUM. 16:1 - 18:32                  PG 174 - 179



Numbers 16:1-3    PG 175

Now Korah, .....took <men>:

And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the 

children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the 

assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

And they gathered themselves together against Moses and 

against Aaron, and said unto them, <Ye take> too much upon 

you, seeing all the congregation <are> holy, every one of 

them, and the LORD <is> among them: wherefore then lift ye 

up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

WE ARE ABOUT TO LEARN A LESSON ABOUT WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT 

ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES HIS ANOINTED SERVANTS.  KORAH 

CONFRONTS MOSES WITH 250 LEADERS AND SAYS WE WANT TO 

MINISTER IN THE TEMPLE AND YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN WE ARE.  

WE ARE ALL LEVITES.  YOUR BROTHER AARON IS NO MORE 

QUALIFIED TO BE THE HIGH PRIEST THAN ANY OF US.  IT IS 

JUST PLAIN NEPOTISM AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR RIGHTS 

AND HAVE JUST AS GREAT A LEADERSHIP ROLE AS YOU AND AARON.

Numbers 16:4  PG 175

And when Moses heard <it>, he fell upon his face:

MOSES IMMEDIATELY FALLS FLAT ON HIS FACE IN THE DIRT.  

KORAH AND THE BOYS THINK HE IS GUILTY AND THEY GOT HIM.  

WHAT IS MOSES REALLY DOING?  IS HE SURRENDERING AND 

BEGGING FOR MERCY FROM KORAH?  MOSES IS PRAYING AND 

WAITING FOR GOD TO TELL HIM HOW TO ANSWER KORAH.  WHEN I 

AM CRITICIZED I DON'T STOP AND PRAY FOR GOD TO GIVE ME THE 

RIGHT WAY TO ANSWER.  I NEED TO START DOING THIS.  I 

USUALLY FIRE BACK MORE HARSH CRITICISM.  I HAVE GOT TO 

STOP THIS.



Numbers 16:5  PG 175

And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, 

Even to morrow the LORD will show who <are> his, and <who 

is> holy; and will cause <him> to come near unto him: even 

<him> whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto 

him.

GOD ANOINTS THOSE WHOM HE CHOOSES TO SERVE HIM.  HE IS 

ABOUT TO SHOW KORAH AND THE BOYS WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT THEM 

CRITICIZING MOSES HIS ANOINTED.



Numbers 16:11   PG 175

For which cause <both> thou and all thy company <are> 

gathered together against the LORD: and what <is> Aaron, 

that ye murmur against him?

MOSES TELLS KORAH THAT KORAH IS SETTING HIMSELF AGAINST 

THE LORD NOT MOSES AND AARON.  IF WE CRITICIZE OUR PASTOR 

WHO ARE WE CRITICIZING?  IF OUR PASTOR DELIVERS A BORING 

SERMON, IS IT HIS FAULT OR IS IT MY FAULT FOR HOW I 

LISTENED?  THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN MAKE ANY WORDS OF TRUTH 

COME ALIVE.  IF WE HEAR WORDS THAT ARE CONTRARY TO 

SCRIPTURE THEN WE SHOULD SHOUT THE PREACHER DOWN.  MANY 

GOOD PREACHERS WILL FLOAT OUT A HERESY TO SEE IF THE 

PEOPLE ARE REALLY LISTENING AS THEY SHOULD TO SHOUT DOWN 

THE HERESY.  IF THE PASTOR IS NOT PREPARING PROPERLY TO 

PREACH IT IS NOT MY JOB TO CORRECT OR CRITICIZE HIM.  IT 

IS EVERYONE'S JOB TO BE SURE WHAT THE PASTOR PREACHES 

AGREES EXACTLY WITH THE BIBLE.



Numbers 16:19   PG 175

And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto 

the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the 

glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. 

KORAH IS NOT JUST TRYING TO GET THE LEVITES TO TURN 

AGAINST MOSES BUT THE WHOLE NATION.



Numbers 16:20-22   PG 175

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I 

may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their 

faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all 

flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all 

the congregation?

GOD IS READY TO DESTROY THEM ALL IN A MOMENT.  MOSES 

DOESN'T SHOUT GOOD RIDDANCE.  HE PRAYS FOR GOD TO BE 

MERCIFUL.



Numbers 16:23-25   PG 176

And the LORD spake unto Moses,....... Moses rose up and 

..... and the elders of Israel followed him.

Numbers 16:26     PG 176

And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray 

you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing 

of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

IT IS SO EASY TO GET SUCKED INTO A REBELLION.  IF THE 

REBELLION IS AGAINST SOMEONE WHOM GOD HAS ANOINTED YOU HAD 

BETTER NOT BE ANY PART OF THE REBELLION.



Numbers 16:28-33   PG 176

And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath 

sent me to do all these works; for <I have> not <done 

them> of mine own mind.  If these men die the common death 

of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of 

all men; <then> the LORD hath not sent me.  But if the 

LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and 

swallow them up, with all that <appertain> unto them, and 

they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand 

that these men have provoked the LORD.  And it came to 

pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, 

that the ground clave asunder that <was> under them:  And 

the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and 

their houses, and all the men that <appertained> unto 

Korah, and all <their> goods.  They, and all that 

<appertained> to them, went down alive into the pit, and 

the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among 

the congregation.

THIS IS THE THING FOR PEOPLE TO READ WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE 

CRITICIZING GOD'S ANOINTED SERVANT.



Numbers 16:35   PG 176

And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the 

two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

SO HERE WE HAVE 250 ASH PILES WITH SMOKING CENSORS BY EACH 

LITTLE ASH PILE.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO?  NATURALLY YOU TAKE 

THE BRASS CENSORS AND MELT THE BRASS TO MAKE A BRASS ALTER 

COVER.  NOW ANY TIME ANYONE LOOKS AT THE ALTER THEY SHOULD 

FORGET ANY THOUGHTS OF REBELLING AGAINST GODS ANOINTED - 

RIGHT? - WRONG!!!



Numbers 16:41  PG 176

But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of 

Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, 

Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

THE VERY NEXT DAY FIRE UP THE REBELLION.  THESE PEOPLE ARE 

AS HARD HEADED AND STUPID AS I AM.



Numbers 16:44-46   PG 176

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Get you up from 

among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a 

moment. And they fell upon their faces.  And Moses said 

unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off 

the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the 

congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is 

wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

BY THIS TIME MOSES KNOWS GOD IS SO ANGRY IT IS GOING TO DO 

NO GOOD TO PLEAD FOR MERCY FOR THE PEOPLE.  HE ONLY HOPES 

TO GET GOD'S ATTENTION IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS FURIOUS 

DESTRUCTION OF THIS STIFFNECKED, REBELLIOUS, UNFAITHFUL, 

UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE.

PICTURE THIS SITUATION WITH PEOPLE FALLING DEAD LIKE THE 

WAVE OF THE CROWD IN THE FOOTBALL STADIUM.  AARON STANDS 

WITH THE CENSOR AND THE WAVE OF DEATH STOPS AFTER 14,700 

FALL DEAD.



Numbers 17:10   PG 177

And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again 

before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the 

rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings 

from me, that they die not.

WHO CAN TELL THE STORY OF AARON'S BUDDING STAFF?

GOD MADE SURE THAT THE OFFICE OF THE HIGH PRIEST WAS VERY 

SACRED AND SELECT AND DESIGNATED BY GOD ONLY.  THOSE WHO 

DELIVERED UP JESUS FOR CRUCIFIXION BOTH ANNIS AND CAIPHAS 

WERE GRANDSONS OF AARON.  HAD THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD 

KNOWN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY.  

THE DESIGNATED HIGH PRIEST OF GOD, SHED THE BLOOD OF THE 

LAMB OF GOD, ONCE AND FOR ALL TO ATONE FOR THE SINS OF ALL 

MANKIND.  WHEN CHRIST DIED THE CURTAIN SEPARATING THE HOLY 

OF HOLLIES WAS TORN OPEN BY GOD HIMSELF.  ALL MAY NOW HAVE 

DIRECT ACCESS TO GOD THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.









FEB 10  NUM. 20:1 - 33:49                 PG 179 - 184



Numbers 20:7-12   PG 179 -180

And the LORD spake unto Moses, ....Take the rod, and 

gather thou the assembly together, ..... and speak ye unto 

the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his 

water, ....And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as 

he commanded him. ......gathered the congregation together 

before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye 

rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And 

Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the 

rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the 

congregation drank, and their beasts <also>.  And the LORD 

spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to 

sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, 

therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the 

land which I have given them. 

DOESN'T THIS SEEM LIKE CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT?  WHO 

CAN EXPLAIN WHY MOSES WAS PUNISHED LIKE THIS?  HERE IS THE 

BEST I COULD FIND ON THE SUBJECT: SPEAKING HARSHLY TO 

ISRAEL, AND NOT SPEAKING TO THE ROCK AS COMMANDED, WAS:     

1) UNBECOMING TO ONE OF MOSES' POSITION

2) AN ACT OF UNBELIEF

3) IT CALLED ATTENTION TO WE, MOSES AND AARON, AND NOT      

   JEHOVAH 



Numbers 21:5   PG 181

And the people spake against God, and against Moses, 

Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the 

wilderness? for <there is> no bread, neither <is there 

any> water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

HERE WE GO AGAIN.  THEY JUST DON'T GET IT.  WE JUST DON'T 

GET IT.  GOD DOES NOT LIKE GRIPING, COMPLAINING, STINKIN 

THINKIN.  WE HAVE ALL BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH FOR WHICH TO BE 

THANKFUL.  COMPLAINING IS EASY.  COMPLAINING IS A NATURAL 

HUMAN TENDENCY.  IT IS HARD TO OVERCOME THE TENDENCY TO 

GRIPE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.  WE MUST FORCE 

OURSELVES TO FIND SOMETHING WORTHY OF PRAISE REGARDLESS OF 

OUR CIRCUMSTANCES, OR ELSE IT NOT POSSIBLE TO BE HAPPY.  

IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY MAKE THIS VERSE A PRIORITY PART OF 

YOUR LIFE:  Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, 

whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things <are> 

honest, whatsoever things <are> just, whatsoever things 

<are> pure, whatsoever things <are> lovely, whatsoever 

things <are> of good report; if <there be> any virtue, and 

if <there be> any praise, think on these things.



Numbers 21:6 -9   PG 181

And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and 

they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have 

sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against 

thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents 

from us. And Moses prayed for the people.  And the LORD 

said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it 

upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one 

that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, 

and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, 

when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

JESUS CHRIST WAS LIFTED UP ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY THAT WE 

MIGHT LOOK TO HIM AND LIVE.  THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH BUT 

THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

MOSES LIFTED UP THE BRONZE SERPENT.  THE ONLY WAY OF 

AVOIDING THE CERTAIN DEATH OF THE SERPENT'S BITE, WAS 

SIMPLY TO LOOK TO THAT WHICH WAS LIFTED UP.  WILL YOU LOOK 

TO JESUS TO SAVE YOU FROM THAT OLD SERPENT SATAN'S DEATH 

BITE OF SIN?  THERE IS NO OTHER CURE.



FEB 11   NUM. 22:1 - 24:25                PG 184 - 190



THE WHOLE STORY OF BALAAM IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING 

AND HUMOROUS IN THE BIBLE.  WHAT A FANTASTIC WONDERFUL 

SENSE OF HUMOR THE LORD HAS.  HE MAKES BALAAM'S DONKEY 

TALK TO FINALLY GET HIS ATTENTION.  BALAAM IS SO ANGRY HE 

DOESN'T EVEN APPARENTLY REALIZE THAT IT IS QUITE UNUSUAL 

FOR A DONKEY TO TALK.  THIS IS PROBABLY WHAT INSPIRED THE 

MOVIE "FRANCIS THE TALKING MULE" AND THE T.V. SERIES MR. 

ED.  DON FRANCISCO HAS A GREAT BALLAD ABOUT THIS WHICH 

ENDS WITH THE FOLLOWING LINE: SO THE NEXT TIME THE LORD 

STARTS USING YOU, DON'T YOU PAY IT ANY MIND.  HE COULD 

HAVE USED THE DONKEY NEXT DOOR, IF HE'D BEEN SO INCLINED.



WAS BALAAM A PROPHET OR AN OCCULT SPIRITUALIST?  THE 

QUESTION IS DEBATABLE.  HERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN KNOW 

ABOUT BALAAM FROM THE SCRIPTURES:

1) IN GREEK HIS NAME MEANS SUBVERTER.

2) IN HEBREW HIS NAME MEANS DEVOURER, OR FOREIGNER.

3) HE LIVED IN MESOPOTAMIA BEYOND THE EUPHRATES RIVER.

4) HE HAD A WIDESPREAD REPUTATION OF BEING ABLE TO 

PROPHESY AND PRONOUNCE BLESSINGS OR CURSES WITH ACCURATE 

FULFILLMENT. 22:5-6

5) PRINCES OF 2 NATIONS WERE SENT TO OFFER HIM REWARDS FOR 

CURSING ISRAEL. 22:7

6) HE SEEMS TO HAVE KNOWN GOD ALMIGHTY.  HIS FIRST ANSWER 

EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO ENQUIRE OF JEHOVAH AS TO WHAT HIS 

WILL WOULD BE REGARDING GOING WITH THE PRINCES TO CURSE 

ISRAEL. 22:8

7) JEHOVAH GOD SPOKE TO HIM AND REVEALED THAT HIS WILL WAS 

NOT TO GO AND NOT TO CURSE ISRAEL, FOR THEY WERE BLESSED 

BY JEHOVAH. 22:9-12

8) HE WAS FAITHFUL TO REPORT TO THE PRINCES THAT JEHOVAH 

GOD REFUSED TO LET HIM GO. 22:13-14

9) HIGHER RANKING PRINCES WERE SENT TO OFFER MORE MONEY 

AND MUCH HONOR IF HE WOULD ONLY COME. 22:15-17

10) HE WAS FAITHFUL ENOUGH TO GOD AT THE TIME TO REJECT 

THE OFFER AND NOT DISOBEY GOD FOR RICHES.  WHEN HE 

INQUIRED AGAIN OF JEHOVAH AFTER HE ALREADY HAD CLEARLY 

BEEN TOLD GOD'S WILL ON THE ISSUE, HE SHOWED THE SECRET 

DESIRE FOR REWARD INSTEAD OF INSTANTLY BREAKING OFF THE 

NEGOTIATIONS. 22:18-19

11) GOD KNEW BALAAM WOULD EVENTUALLY GIVE IN TO THE 

TEMPTATION, AND GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO GO BUT ONLY TO SAY 

WHAT GOD TOLD HIM TO SAY. 22:20

12) HE WAS TO GO AND BLESS, NOT CURSE, ISRAEL, IF THE MEN 

CALLED HIM. 22:20

13) HE COULD NOT WAIT FOR THE MEN TO CALL.  HE ROSE UP 

BEING ANXIOUS TO GO.  THIS MADE GOD ANGRY AND THE ANGEL OF 

THE LORD OPPOSED HIM (WAS GOING TO HAVE AN ANGEL KILL HIM) 

IN THE WAY. 22:21-33

14) WHEN BALAAM FINALLY SAW THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, HE 

ACKNOWLEDGED HIS SIN AND OFFERED TO GO BACK.  GOD ALLOWED 

HIM TO GO ON BUT WARNED HIM ONLY TO SPEAK EXACTLY WHAT GOD 

TOLD HIM.

15) BALAAM MADE IT CLEAR TO THE KING THAT HE WOULD ONLY 

SPEAK EXACTLY WHAT GOD TOLD HIM TO SAY, WHICH COULD HAVE 

COST HIM HIS LIFE. 22:36-38

16) BALAAM SACRIFICED TO JEHOVAH, NOT BAAL AND HE EXPECTED 

ONLY GOD TO ANSWER. 23:1-3

17) GOD MET HIM.  BALAAM TOLD JEHOVAH OF HIS SACRIFICES TO 

HIM. 23:4  THE ANIMALS HE OFFERED WERE CLEAN ANIMALS 

INDICATING BALAAM'S UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S REQUIREMENTS.

18) JEHOVAH GAVE HIM THE PROPHESY WHICH HE FAITHFULLY 

DELIVERED TO BALAK. 23:5-10

19) HE WAS WILLING TO FACE THE WRATH OF THE KING TO BE 

FAITHFUL TO WHAT JEHOVAH TOLD HIM TO SAY. 23:11-12

20) JEHOVAH MET HIM AGAIN AND GAVE HIM ANOTHER WORD OF 

PROPHESY WHICH HE FAITHFULLY DELIVERED TO BALAK. 23:16-24

21) HE ANGERED BALAK BY FAITHFULLY DELIVERING GOD'S WORD 

AGAIN TO BALAK. 23:25-26

22) THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAME ON HIM AND HE PROPHESIED ABOUT 

ISRAEL. 23:2-9

23) THIS REALLY ANGERED BALAK AND HE WAS ORDERED TO LEAVE.  

    24:10-13

24) BEFORE LEAVING BALAAM GIVES A MESSIANIC PROPHESY.  HE 

CLEARLY IS TALKING ABOUT JESUS. 24:14-19

25) HE RETURNED HOME AFTER GAINING THE REWARD HE WAS AFTER 

FROM BALAK.  HE TAUGHT BALAK HOW TO ENSNARE ISRAEL IN SIN.  

    24:25



THERE ARE REFERENCES WHICH SHOW THAT BALAAM RECEIVED 

REWARDS FROM BALAK FOR TEACHING BALAK HOW TO GET ISRAEL TO 

SIN.

2 Peter 2:15-16

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, 

following the way of Balaam <the son> of Bosor, who loved 

the wages of unrighteousness; But was rebuked for his 

iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad 

the madness of the prophet.

Jude 1:11

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and 

ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and 

perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Revelation 2:14

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast 

there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught 

Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of 

Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit 

fornication.

IT SEEMS THAT BALAAM STARTED OUT KNOWING JEHOVAH.  THE 

LOVE OF MONEY BROUGHT HIM DOWN.  IT WOULD SEEM THAT HE HAD 

STARTED OUT AS A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD AND WAS BROUGHT DOWN 

BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF MONEY.









FEB 12  NUM. 25:1 - 31:54                  PG 190 - 194



Numbers 25:1  PG 191

And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to 

commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.  And they 

called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and 

the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.  And 

Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the 

LORD was kindled against Israel.  And the LORD said unto 

Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up 

before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of 

the LORD may be turned away from Israel.

BALAAM COULD NOT CURSE ISRAEL FOR KING BALAK'S REWARD, BUT 

HE COULD TELL KING BALAK HOW TO GET THE BLESSING TO BE 

REMOVED FROM ISRAEL.  BALAAM WAS ABLE TO GET HIS REWARD 

FROM BALAK BY TELLING BALAK THAT ISRAEL WOULD LOSE THE 

BLESSINGS OF GOD IF BALAK WOULD SEND THE TEMPLE 

PROSTITUTES INTO THE CAMP OF ISRAEL AND GET ISRAEL STARTED 

IN SEXUAL IMMORALITY.  IT SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE THROUGH THE 

CAMP AND BEFORE LONG THE MEN OF ISRAEL WERE WORSHIPING THE 

GODS OF THESE TEMPLE PROSTITUTES OF BAAL.



Numbers 25:5  PG 191

And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every 

one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

THIS IS GOD'S OLD TESTAMENT REMEDY FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY.  

IT WAS A CAPITAL OFFENSE.



Numbers 25:6-9  PG 191

And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and 

brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight 

of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the 

children of Israel, who <were> weeping <before> the door 

of the tabernacle of the congregation.  And when Phinehas, 

the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw <it>, 

he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin 

in his hand;  And he went after the man of Israel into the 

tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, 

and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed 

from the children of Israel.  And those that died in the 

plague were twenty and four thousand.

DO WE EVER SEE THIS KIND OF INSTANT, ZEALOUS, RIGHTEOUS 

ACTION TODAY?  PHINEHAS WAS A RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS 

EXTREMIST.  (PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR ABORTION CLINIC 

DEMONSTRATIONS)  EXAMPLES OF BLATANT UNRIGHTEOUSNESS ARE 

ALL AROUND US.  HOW DO CHRISTIANS RESPOND TO BLATANT 

PUBLIC UNRIGHTEOUSNESS?  HAVE YOU BEEN CALLED A RADICAL 

RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST LATELY?  HAVE YOU BEEN CALLED A JESUS 

FREAK LATELY?  DO SUCH LABELS INTIMIDATE YOU?  JESUS WAS 

CRUCIFIED BY THE RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL LEADERS OF HIS 

DAY FOR BEING A RADICAL EXTREMIST.



Numbers 25:10-13   PG 191

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Phinehas, the son 

of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my 

wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was 

zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the 

children of Israel in my jealousy.  Wherefore say, Behold, 

I give unto him my covenant of peace:  And he shall have 

it, and his seed after him, <even> the covenant of an 

everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his 

God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

HOW DOES GOD VIEW PHINEHAS, THE RADICAL RELIGIOUS 

EXTREMIST?  THE PLAGUE WHICH HAD ALREADY KILLED 24,000 WAS 

STOPPED BECAUSE OF THE IMMEDIATE, ZEALOUS, RIGHTEOUS 

RESPONSE OF PHINEHAS. 2 CHRON. 7:14 TELLS US THAT THE 

MAJORITY DOES NOT COUNT.  IT IS THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE 

OF GOD WHICH DETERMINES THE FATE OF A NATION. NO MATTER 

HOW SMALL THAT NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD IS WITHIN THE 

NATION - EVEN ONE PERSON.



Numbers 31:7   PG 192

And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD 

commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. Numbers 31:8

And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them 

that were slain; <namely>, ....: Balaam also the son of 

Beor they slew with the sword.

Revelation 2:14

But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast 

there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught 

Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of 

Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit 

fornication.

IT WAS BALAAM WHO WAS BEHIND THE MIDIANITE TEMPLE 

PROSTITUTES BEING BROUGHT INTO THE CAMP OF ISRAEL.  HE GOT 

HIS REWARD OF MONEY FROM BALAK, BUT IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE 

THE GOT HIS REWARD FROM GOD.









FEB 13  NUM.  26:1 - 26:65                  PG 194 - 198



GOD TOLD MOSES TO TAKE ANOTHER CENSUS.  SOME TRIBES HAD 

GROWN AND SOME TRIBES WERE SMALLER SINCE THE LAST CENSUS.  

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ON WHY THIS MAY HAVE HAPPENED?









FEB 14  NUM. 27:15 - 35:8   HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZIE!

                                            PG 198 - 203

Numbers 27:15-16  PG 198

And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, Let the LORD, the 

God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the 

congregation,

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS NAME OF GOD?



Numbers 27:18-22  PG 198

And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of 

Nun, a man in whom <is> the spirit, and lay thine hand 

upon him;  And set him before Eleazar the priest, and 

before all the congregation; and give him a charge in 

their sight.  And thou shalt put <some> of thine honour 

upon him, that all the congregation of the children of 

Israel may be obedient.  And he shall stand before Eleazar 

the priest, who shall ask <counsel> for him after the 

judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they 

go out, and at his word they shall come in, <both> he, and 

all the children of Israel with him, even all the 

congregation.  And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: 

and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, 

and before all the congregation:  And Moses did as the 

LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before 

Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

THE LORD PICKS JOSHUA TO SUCCEED MOSES AS LEADER OF GOD'S 

PEOPLE.  ONLY JOSHUA AND CALEB HAD GIVEN A GOOD REPORT 

WHEN GOD HAD ORIGINALLY TOLD ISRAEL TO GO IN TO POSSESS 

THE PROMISED LAND.  JOSHUA HAD ALMOST BEEN STONED FOR 

TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT IF GOD IS FOR YOU NO ONE CAN 

PREVAIL AGAINST YOU.  JOSHUA WAS A FAITHFUL, COURAGEOUS 

MAN.  WHAT WAS JOSHUA'S MAIN QUALIFICATION?  IT WAS THE 

FACT THAT HE HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT IN HIM.  JOSHUA WAS A 

GIFTED, TRAINED, EXPERIENCED MAN, ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY 

SPIRIT.  DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE COUNSEL AND JUDGMENT 

OF THE URIM?  THE COUNSEL OR JUDGMENT OF THE URIM WAS THAT 

JOSHUA COULD STAND BEFORE THE HIGH PRIEST AND ASK ANY 

QUESTION AND GET A DIRECT INFALLIBLE YES OR NO ANSWER FROM 

GOD.  THE URIM AND THUMMIM WERE 2 STONES OF THE SAME SIZE 

AND SHAPE OF LIGHT AND DARK COLOR WHICH THE HIGH PRIEST 

CARRIED IN A SPECIAL POUCH ON HIS CHEST.  WHEN HE REACHED 

INTO THE POUCH FOR ONE OF THE STONES IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR 

THE PRIEST TO KNOW WHICH OF THE 2 STONES HE HAD IN HIS 

HAND IN THE POUCH.  GOD PROMISED TO MAKE THE RIGHT YES OR 

NO ANSWER ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE POUCH FOR JOSHUA.

THIS IS A MAJOR TURNING POINT IN THE GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL.  

MOSES HAD BEEN OVER THE HIGH PRIEST.  NOW WHEN HE DIES - 

JOSHUA WILL BE THE LEADER, BUT HE WILL HAVE TO BE UNDER 

THE HIGH PRIEST SINCE HE MUST GO TO THE HIGH PRIEST FOR 

GOD'S DIRECTION YES OR NO ON ANY MATTER.



Numbers 32:6   PG 199

And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the 

children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and 

shall ye sit here?

RUBEN AND GAD WANT THE GOOD GRAZING LAND EAST OF THE 

JORDAN.  THEY WANT TO STOP THE MARCH TO BUILD HOMES FOR 

THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND PENS FOR THEIR LIVESTOCK.



Numbers 32:17   PG 199

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children 

of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: 

and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities 

because of the inhabitants of the land.  We will not 

return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have 

inherited every man his inheritance.

THEIR PROPOSAL ASSURED MOSES THAT IT WAS NOT COWARDICE 

WHICH MOTIVATED RUBEN AND GAD TO ASK FOR THIS LAND AND HE 

AGREES WITH THEIR PLAN.



Numbers 33:50-53   PG 201

And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by 

Jordan <near> Jericho, saying,.... ye shall drive out all 

the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy 

all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, 

and quite pluck down all their high places:  And ye shall 

dispossess <the inhabitants> of the land, and dwell 

therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

GOD GAVE THIS LAND TO THE ISRAELIS.  THEY WERE TO DESTROY 

EVERY FORM OF OTHER WORSHIP IN THE LAND AND DRIVE OUT THE 

INHABITANTS.  THIS HAS TREMENDOUS SIGNIFICANCE FOR OUR 

GENERATION.  WHAT HAPPENED WHEN ISRAEL DEPORTED 400 ARAB 

TERRORISTS TO SOUTHERN LEBANON.  LEBANON DID NOT WANT THE 

TERRORISTS.  THE WORLD IS RAISING A GREAT UPROAR ABOUT HOW 

WRONG IT IS FOR ISRAEL TO DEPORT THESE 400 ARAB 

TERRORISTS.  THE RELIGION OF THE CANNANITES WAS IDOLATRY 

BUT REALLY THAT WAS JUST A COVER AND LICENCE FOR SEXUAL 

IMMORALITY.  THIS IS HOW WE GOT THE WORD LICENTIOUSNESS IN 

THE FIRST PLACE.  CAN ISRAEL PEACEFULLY COEXIST WITH THE 

ARABS? NO.  WHAT ABOUT THIS ARAB GOD ALLAH?  WHAT ABOUT 

THE SETTLEMENTS ON THE WEST BANK?  WHERE MUST THE 

CHRISTIAN STAND REGARDING THE ARABS AND ISRAELIS?









FEB 15  DEUT. 1:1 - 4:40                  PG 203 - 210



Deuteronomy 1:8   PG 203

Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess 

the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, 

Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed 

after them.

IT MAY SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD BUT PALESTINE BELONGS TO 

THE JEWS FOREVER.  AS CHRISTIANS WE MUST SIDE WITH THE 

JEWS REGARDING PALESTINE.  IF TIME PERMITS WE WILL TALK 

BRIEFLY ABOUT WHAT THE ARABS BELIEVE WITH THEIR RELIGION 

OF ISLAM.



Deuteronomy 1:17   PG 204

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; <but> ye shall 

hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be 

afraid of the face of man; for the judgment <is> God's: 

and the cause that is too hard for you, bring <it> unto 

me, and I will hear it.

MOSES WAS THE SUPREME COURT.  TRUTH OR RIGHT AND WRONG IN 

OUR COURTS TODAY IS NOT NEARLY AS IMPORTANT AS HOW MUCH 

MONEY YOU HAVE AND WHO HAS THE BEST LAWYERS.

Deuteronomy 1:25-26   PG 204

And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and 

brought <it> down unto us, and brought us word again, and 

said, <It is> a good land which the LORD our God doth give 

us.  Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled 

against the commandment of the LORD your God:

IF THEY HAD BEEN OBEDIENT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO SPEND 

40 YEARS AND DIE IN THE DESERT.



Deuteronomy 1:29-30   PG 204

Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of 

them.  The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall 

fight for you, according to all that he did for you in 

Egypt before your eyes;

WE NEED TO STUDY THE SCRIPTURES TO INCREASE OUR FAITH.  

FAITH COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.  WE NEED TO 

REMEMBER GOD'S POWER AND FAITHFULNESS AND LEARN TO FEAR 

NOTHING BUT GOD.  FEAR IS THE OPPOSITE OF FAITH.  GOD 

WANTS US TO HAVE FAITH IN HIM AND BE HAPPY NOT FEARFUL OR 

DISCOURAGED.



Deuteronomy 1:36   PG 204

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to 

him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to 

his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

AM I FOLLOWING THE LORD WHOLEHEARTEDLY?



Deuteronomy 2:7  PG 205

For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of 

thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great 

wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God <hath been> 

with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

IF GOD IS WITH YOU WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?  THEY HAD FOOD, 

WATER AND CLOTHING IN THE DESERT 40 YEARS.  THEIR CLOTHES 

AND SHOES DID NOT WEAR OUT.  WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE SOME 

GOVERNMENT MARK TO BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL?  REMEMBER HOW 

GOD TOOK CARE OF ISRAEL IN THE DESERT.



Deuteronomy 2:25  PG 206

This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the 

fear of thee upon the nations <that are> under the whole 

heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, 

and be in anguish because of thee.

Deuteronomy 2:30   PG 206

But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: 

for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his 

heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, 

as <appeareth> this day.

Deuteronomy 2:33  PG 206

And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote 

him, and his sons, and all his people.

IF WE WILL BE OBEDIENT, THEN GOD WILL FIGHT OUR BATTLES 

FOR US BETTER THAN WE COULD POSSIBLY FIGHT THEM OURSELVES.  

IT IS HARD TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.  IT IS HARD TO PRAY 

FOR THOSE WHO DESPITEFULLY USE YOU.  IF WE WILL, HOWEVER, 

THEN GOD WILL TAKE UP OUR BATTLE AND NOBODY CAN STAND 

AGAINST HIM.



Deuteronomy 3:18-19   PG 207

And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your 

God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass 

over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, 

all <that are> meet for the war.  But your wives, and your 

little ones, and your cattle,  <(for> I know that ye have 

much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have 

given you;

THE TRIBES OF RUBEN, GAD, AND MANASSEH, WANTED THE 

CAPTURED LANDS EAST OF THE JORDAN.  MOSES AGREED TO LET 

THEM HAVE IT, BUT AS SOON AS THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE 

SETTLED, ALL THE MEN OF FIGHTING AGE WOULD LEAD THE REST 

OF THE ENTIRE NATION IN BATTLE UNTIL ALL OF THE TRIBES 

WERE PEACEFULLY SETTLED IN THEIR LAND, YET TO BE 

CONQUERED, ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE JORDAN RIVER.  THEN THE 

TRIBES OF RUBEN, GAD, AND MANASSEH COULD RETURN TO THEIR 

FAMILIES.  A GOOD PLAN INSURING STRONG LEADERSHIP IN 

BATTLE, TOOK CARE OF THE LARGE FLOCKS OF RUBEN, GAD, AND 

MANASSEH, AND WOULD MAKE SURE THE FIGHTING WOULD GO AS 

QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THESE GUYS WANTED TO GO HOME 

AND COULD NOT DO SO UNTIL ALL BATTLES WERE COMPLETED.



Deuteronomy 3:21-24   PG 207 -208

And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes 

have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these 

two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms 

whither thou passest.  Ye shall not fear them: for the 

LORD your God he shall fight for you.  And I besought the 

LORD at that time, saying, O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to 

show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for 

what God <is there> in heaven or in earth, that can do 

according to thy works, and according to thy might?

THERE IS NO OTHER GOD LIKE THE GOD OF ISRAEL.  OUR GOD IS 

ALMIGHTY.  IT IS FAR BETTER TO HAVE HIM FIGHT OUR BATTLES 

THAN FOR US TO FIGHT THEM OURSELF.  HOW DO WE INCREASE OUR 

FAITH IN HIM?  PAY ATTENTION WHEN HE WORKS A MIRACLE, AND 

MOST IMPORTANT STUDY THE BIBLE EVERY DAY.



Deuteronomy 4:6  PG 208

Keep therefore and do <them>; for this <is> your wisdom 

and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which 

shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great 

nation <is> a wise and understanding people.  For what 

nation <is there so> great, who <hath> God <so> nigh unto 

them, as the LORD our God <is> in all <things that> we 

call upon him <for>?

ALL NATIONS HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AS THE 

BEST MORAL CODE EVER RECORDED.  IT SURELY HAD TO COME FROM 

THE HAND OF GOD.  IF WE WILL KEEP THESE COMMANDS GOD 

DELIGHTS TO HEAR OUR PRAYERS AND GIVES US THE GOOD THINGS 

WHICH WE ASK OF HIM.



Deuteronomy 4:24   PG 209

For the LORD thy God <is> a consuming fire, <even> a 

jealous God.

THE LORD REQUIRES FIRST PLACE IN ALL OF OUR LIVES.



Deuteronomy 4:29-31   PG 209

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou 

shalt find <him>, if thou seek him with all thy heart and 

with all thy soul.  When thou art in tribulation, and all 

these things are come upon thee, <even> in the latter 

days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be 

obedient unto his voice; (For the LORD thy God <is> a 

merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy 

thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he 

sware unto them.

WE CANNOT BACKSLIDE SO FAR FROM GOD THAT HE FORGETS US 

FOREVER.  IF WE WILL REPENT AND TURN AWAY FROM SIN AND 

TURN BACK TO GOD, HE WILL BE MERCIFUL AND HELP US.  THE 

THREEFOLD PROMISE TO ISRAEL IS: 1) HE WILL NOT FORSAKE 

YOU, 2) HE WILL NOT DESTROY YOU, 3) HE WILL NOT FORGET THE 

COVENANT MADE WITH YOUR FATHERS.









FEB 16 DEUT. 4:44 - 8:20                  PG 210 - 214



Deuteronomy 5:28-29  PG 211

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake 

unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice 

of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto 

thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.  O 

that there were such an heart in them, that they would 

fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it 

might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

TALK IS CHEAP.  YOU CAN FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD 

BUT CAN'T FOOL GOD.  HE KNOWS OUR HEARTS BETTER THAN WE 

OURSELVES.  IF WE WILL OBEY HIM IT WILL BE WELL WITH US 

AND WITH OUR CHILDREN.



Deuteronomy 6:4   PG 211

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God <is> one LORD: 

Deuteronomy 6:5   PG 211

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD.  HE CAN ONLY BE APPROACHED IN 

THE WAY HE SPECIFIES.  GOD IS GOD.  HE MAKES THE RULES.  

WHETHER THE RULES SEEM FAIR OR RIGHT TO US IS IRRELEVANT.  

ONLY GOD CAN SPECIFY THE WAY TO APPROACH HIM.  JESUS IS 

THAT SPECIFIC WAY.  GOD MUST HAVE POSITION #1 IN OUR 

LIVES.  JESUS IS EITHER LORD OF ALL OF OUR LIFE OR ELSE HE 

IS NOT LORD AT ALL.

Deuteronomy 6:7   PG 211

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, 

and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, 

and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest 

down, and when thou risest up.

WHEN US CHRISTIANS COME TOGETHER DO WE TALK ABOUT THE WORD 

OF GOD?  YOU BET WE DO.  THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON TONIGHT, 

AND THURSDAY NIGHT.  WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE COWBOYS, 

FISHING, OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE WORD OF GOD.



Deuteronomy 7:1   PG 212

When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land 

whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many 

nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, 

and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, 

and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater 

and mightier than thou;

ALL OF THESE 7 NATIONS WHICH ISRAEL CONQUERED WERE GREATER 

AND MORE POWERFUL THAN ISRAEL.  IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN 

BE AGAINST YOU?  IF YOU TRUST AND OBEY GOD EVERYTHING WILL 

BE ALL RIGHT.



Deuteronomy 7:8   PG 212

For thou <art> an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the 

LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto 

himself, above all people that <are> upon the face of the 

earth.  The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose 

you, because ye were more in number than any people; for 

ye <were> the fewest of all people:  But because the LORD 

loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had 

sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out 

with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of 

bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

ISRAEL IS GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD KEEPS HIS 

PROMISES.  ISRAEL GAVE GOD PLENTY OF GOOD REASONS TO 

DISCARD THEM.  BUT GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.



Deuteronomy 7:15   PG 213

And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and 

will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou 

knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all <them> that 

hate thee.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME GOD PROMISED TO TAKE AWAY ALL 

SICKNESS AND DISEASES. EX. 15:26, 23:25.  THIS IS THE 

RIGHT WAY TO SOLVE THE HEALTH CARE CRISIS.  GOD'S HEALTH 

CARE PLAN IS THE BEST.  WHATEVER BILL AND HILLARY COME UP 

WILL COST MORE AND BE WORTHLESS BY COMPARISON.



Deuteronomy 7:21   PG 213

Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God 

<is> among you, a mighty God and terrible.

WE NEED TO TRY TO GROW TO THE POINT WHERE WE FEAR NOTHING 

BUT GOD AND ONLY GOD.  WE CHOOSE TO BE AFRAID OR WE CAN 

CHOOSE TO TRUST GOD.

Deuteronomy 7:22   PG 213

And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before 

thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at 

once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS?



Deuteronomy 8:3   PG 213

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed 

thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy 

fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth 

not live by bread only, but by every <word> that 

proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

JESUS QUOTED THIS VERSE WHEN SATAN TEMPTED HIM AFTER HE 

HAD FASTED FOR 40 DAYS IN THE WILDERNESS.  WE NEED THE 

SPIRITUAL FOOD OF THE WORD OF GOD TO LIVE.  IT IS EVERY 

BIT AS IMPORTANT AS OUR PHYSICAL FOOD.



Deuteronomy 8:4   PG 213

Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot 

swell, these forty years.

WHAT A MIRACLE.  40 YEARS ON THE FLINT ROCK OF THE SINAI 

DESERT AND THEIR SHOES AND CLOTHES DID NOT WEAR OUT.





Deuteronomy 8:5   PG 214

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man 

chasteneth his son, <so> the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD DOESN'T SEEM LIKE FUN BUT, IT IS A 

CERTAIN SIGN THAT HE LOVES YOU.



Deuteronomy 8:17-18    PG 214

And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of 

<mine> hand hath gotten me this wealth.  But thou shalt 

remember the LORD thy God: for <it is> he that giveth thee 

power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant 

which he sware unto thy fathers, as <it is> this day.

GOD GIVES THE INCREASE.  GOD GIVES US THE POWER TO GET 

WEALTH.  HERE IS WHERE PRIDE BEGINS.  IT IS ULTIMATELY 

DEVASTATING TO THINK YOU HAVE DONE ANYTHING WORTHWHILE ON 

YOUR OWN.  IF I PROSPER IT IS USUALLY NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT 

I DO BUT IS A TESTIMONY OF GOD'S POWER IN SPITE OF WHAT I 

DO.  GOD EXPECTS US TO USE THE TALENTS HE GIVES US BUT WE 

SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT IT WAS GOD WHO GAVE US THE 

TALENTS.  WE CAN ONLY EXERCISE AND DEVELOP OUR TALENTS.  

THE TALENTS ARE ONLY OURS BECAUSE GOD GAVE THEM TO US.



PRAY LIKE EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON GOD, AND WORK LIKE 

EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOU.  THE WORKING PARTNERSHIP WHICH 

PEOPLE ESTABLISH WITH GOD DETERMINES ULTIMATE SUCCESS.

FEB 17  DEUT. 9:1 - 11:32                    PG 214 - 218



Deuteronomy 9:3    PG 214

Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] 

he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he 

shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before 

thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them 

quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

OUR CHOICE EVERY DAY - WILL WE CHOOSE FEAR OR WILL WE 

CHOOSE FAITH IN GOD?  NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE LORD.  

IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN STAND AGAINST YOU?  IF GOD IS IN 

COMMAND OF ALL OF OUR DAILY BATTLES WE WILL ALWAYS BE 

VICTORIOUS.



Deuteronomy 9:4-5  PG 214

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God 

hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my 

righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this 

land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD 

doth drive them out from before thee.

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine 

heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the 

wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive 

them out from before thee, and that he may perform the 

word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, 

Isaac, and Jacob.

IF WE ARE TRULY HONEST NONE OF US WOULD EVER WANT WHAT WE 

DESERVE.  WE ALL DESERVE HELL.  WE CAN NOT EARN 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  CHRIST EARNED OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR US.  

SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, PRIDE, AND VANITY ARE SNARES THAT CAN 

GET US INTO ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE.  GOD GAVE ISRAEL VICTORY 

OVER THE ANAIKITES BECAUSE GOD IS FAITHFUL TO KEEP HIS 

PROMISES AND THE WICKEDNESS OF THE ANAKITES HAD BECOME 

FULL.  IS THERE ANY WAY TO KNOW WHEN THE INIQUITY OF A 

SOCIETY CAUSES GOD TO DESTROY IT?  (SODOM & GAMORAH)



Deuteronomy 9:6-7  PG 215

Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee 

not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; 

for thou [art] a stiffnecked people.

Remember, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD 

thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou 

didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto 

this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

I CAN REALLY RELATE TO THIS STIFFNECKED PEOPLE THING.  

ANYBODY ELSE STIFFNECKED HERE?  MOSES TOLD THE PEOPLE TO 

REMEMBER THEIR SINS.  LET'S DISCUSS THIS:

1)IF WE CONFESS AND REPENT THE SINS ARE FORGIVEN.

2)GOD DOES NOT REMEMBER OUR SINS AFTER WE CONFESS & REPENT

3)THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION

WHY SHOULD WE REMEMBER OUR FORGIVEN SINS - FORGIVE US OUR 

TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US -

  HEAVY - HEAVY - DO WE REALIZE WHAT WE ARE PRAYING?



Deuteronomy 10:12-13  PG 216

And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of 

thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his 

ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with 

all thy heart and with all thy soul,

To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, 

which I command thee this day for thy good?

IT IS REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE WHAT THE LORD REQUIRES.  JESUS 

REDUCED THE 10 COMMANDMENTS DOWN TO 2.  WHO KNOWS THE 2?

Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and 

what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and 

to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

MY FAVORITE OLD TESTAMENT SUMMARY - GREAT MEMORY AND 

MEDITATION VERSE



Deuteronomy 10:19   PG 217

Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in 

the land of Egypt.

AREN'T YOU GLAD GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.  HE DOES 

NOT SHOW PARTIALITY.  WE DEMONSTRATE OUR LOVE TO GOD BY 

OUR MERCY TO THOSE IN NEED.  MAN'S GREATEST NEED IS 

FREEDOM FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN.



Deuteronomy 11:13-14  PG 217

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently 

unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love 

the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart 

and with all your soul,

That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due 

season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou 

mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

THE BIG IF WORD - ANYBODY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BIG 

REGARDING THE BLESSINGS AND PROMISES OF GOD?  CAN YOU 

THINK OF ANY WHICH DON'T HAVE THE IF - UNCONDITIONAL?

James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, 

that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; 

and it shall be given him.



Deuteronomy 11:19   PG 217

And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them 

when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by 

the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

YE SHALL TEACH YOUR CHILDREN, MY QUALIFICATIONS AND REASON 

FOR THIS WORK.  I HAVE LOST MY CHILDREN.  I COVET YOUR 

PRAYERS IN THIS REGARD.



Deuteronomy 11:26  PG 218

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

OBEDIENCE IS WHAT OPENS UP THE MANY BLESSINGS WHICH GOD 

WANTS TO GIVE US.  DISOBEDIENCE - IF WE COULD ONLY SEE HOW 

FOOLISH IT IS.







FEB 18  DEUT 5:5 - 17:7                   PG 219 - 223



Deuteronomy 5:7  PG 220

Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

ARE THERE THINGS TODAY WHICH YOU MIGHT CALL OTHER GODS?

Leviticus 20:4-5   PG 221

And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes 

from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and 

kill him not: Then I will set my face against that man, 

and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that 

go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, 

from among their people.

CHILDREN WERE SACRIFICED BY BEING BURNED ALIVE BEFORE THIS 

IDOL MOLECH.  HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THIS IS ESSENTIALLY 

THE SAME PRACTICE AS ABORTION TODAY.  ACCORDING TO THESE 

VERSES WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HIDE OUR EYES FROM THIS 

PRACTICE.  GOD DOES NOT ALLOW NEUTRALITY ON THIS PRACTICE 

OF KILLING ONE AND A HALF MILLION BABIES A YEAR THROUGH 

LEGALIZED ABORTION.  WHAT CAN OR SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT?  

WE CAN'T IGNORE IT.



Leviticus 19:27  PG 221

Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither 

shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.  Ye shall not 

make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print 

any marks upon you: I <am> the LORD.

THE IDEA HERE IS NOT SO MUCH THAT WE DO NOT GRIEVE AND 

MOURN THE PASSING OF OUR LOVED ONES.  JESUS WEPT AT THE 

TOMB OF LAZARUS.  THIS IS MORE LIKELY TO BE A MATTER OF 

PROHIBITING THE HEATHEN OR OCCULT PRACTICE OF NECROMANCY 

OR TRYING TO CONTACT DEAD DEPARTED SPIRITS.



Deuteronomy 12:31  PG 221

Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every 

abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done 

unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters 

they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

THE IDOLATROUS ARTICLES OF WORSHIP WERE TO BE UTTERLY 

DESTROYED.  ALL OF THESE PEOPLES HAD DEVELOPED FORMS OF 

WORSHIP WHICH GRATIFIED THEIR OWN LUSTS.  THEY ALL 

LICENSED GROSS IMMORALITY.



Deuteronomy 13:17  PG 222

And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine 

hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his 

anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, 

and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

HOW DOES ALL OF THIS IDOLATRY APPLY TO ME?  THE HUMAN 

HEART IS DESPERATELY WICKED.  WE NEED TO SEARCH OUT THOSE 

CURSED SINS IN OUR HEART AND AGREE WITH GOD TO QUIT 

HOLDING ON TO THEM.  AS WE GET RID OF THOSE CURSED THINGS 

WE SEE THE LORD'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS.



Deuteronomy 17:6  PG 222

At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall 

he that is worthy of death be put to death; <but> at the 

mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

A MINIMUM OF 2 WITNESSES IS REQUIRED TO CONVICT SOMEONE OF 

A CAPITAL PUNISHMENT OFFENSE.

Deuteronomy 12:21  PG 222

If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his 

name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of 

thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, 

as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates 

whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

Deuteronomy 12:26  PG 223

Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou 

shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall 

choose.

GOD WOULD HAVE ONLY ONE HOLY PLACE FOR THE SACRIFICES OF 

THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL TO BE ACCEPTABLE.  WHERE WAS 

THIS PLACE?  JERUSALEM.  ONE PLACE, ONE TIME, ONLY BY THE 

HIGH PRIEST ALL POINTING TO THE ONE ACCEPTABLE, ONCE FOR 

ALL, SACRIFICE TO ATONE FOR THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND.  IT 

ALL POINTS TO THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS ON CALVARY OUTSIDE 

THE GATES OF JERUSALEM.  THE SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD SHEDDING 

HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD TO ATONE ONCE AND FOR ALL FOR ALL THE 

SINS OF ALL MANKIND.  THE JEWS HAD A HARD TIME RECOGNIZING 

THEIR MESSIAH WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST TIME AS THE LAMB OF 

GOD.  THEY WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL RECOGNIZING JESUS 

WHEN HE COMES AGAIN AS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.  WE 

MUST PRAY THAT OUR JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAN COME TO 

KNOW MESSIAH JESUS AS THE LAMB OF GOD AS WELL AS KING OF 

KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.









FEB 19  DEUT 18:1-26:15 LEV 19:,20:,24:  PG 223-228



Leviticus 19:26  PG 223

Ye shall not eat <any thing> with the blood: neither shall 

ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

Leviticus 19:31

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek 

after wizards, to be defiled by them: I <am> the LORD your 

God.

Leviticus 20:6

And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar 

spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I 

will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him 

off from among his people.

WITCHCRAFT AND DIVINATION ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.  TODAYS 

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS EMBRACES MUCH OF THE OCCULT PARTS OF 

THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT.  WORSHIPING MOTHER EARTH, GETTING IN 

TOUCH WITH SPIRIT GUIDES, ASTROLOGY ALL OF THESE THINGS 

CARRIED THE DEATH PENALTY IN ISRAEL.  IF YOU LOOK AT MOST 

OF THE ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS YOU WILL FIND 

THEM TO BE ANTICHRIST.  THOSE WHO ARE MOST DEEPLY INTO THE 

NEW AGE MOVEMENT BELIEVE CHRISTIANS TO BE INCURABLY 

MENTALLY ILL.  IT IS UNFORTUNATE HOW MANY CHRISTIANS CAN 

BE INTIMIDATED BY SUCH TERMS AS FUNDAMENTALIST OR JESUS 

FREAK.  THESE TERMS SHOULD BE BADGES OF HONOR.

Deuteronomy 18:15  PG 224

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from 

the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him 

ye shall hearken;

Deuteronomy 18:18

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, 

like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he 

shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 

Deuteronomy 18:19

And it shall come to pass, <that> whosoever will not 

hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I 

will require <it> of him.

GOD PROMISES THAT HE WAS GOING TO SEND A PROPHET FROM THE 

NATION OF ISRAEL THAT EVERYONE MUST OBEY OR ELSE.  THIS 

PROPHET "CAPITAL 'P'" PROPHET IN THE KJV WOULD HAVE 

GREATER POWER AND AUTHORITY THAN MOSES.  ONLY JESUS COULD 

POSSIBLY FIT THAT DESCRIPTION.



Deuteronomy 18:20-22  PG 224

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my 

name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that 

shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet 

shall die.  And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we 

know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?  When a 

prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing 

follow not, nor come to pass, that <is> the thing which 

the LORD hath not spoken, <but> the prophet hath spoken it 

presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE FALSE PROPHETS - SOME EVEN HAVING 

SUPERNATURAL POWERS WHICH ARE DEMONIC.  THE SIMPLE TEST OF 

THE PROPHET IS IF HE IS 100% ACCURATE ALL THE TIME.  THE 

PROPHET'S BATTING AVERAGE MUST BE 1000.  IT IS EVEN EASIER 

FOR US BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SCRIPTURES.  NO PROPHET OF GOD 

WILL SAY ANYTHING TO CONFLICT WITH THE SCRIPTURES.  I HAVE 

A 2 PAGE STUDY ON PROPHETS AND PROPHESY WHICH WILL BE 

TACKED ON TO THIS DAY'S MATERIAL.  THE MINISTRY OF THE 

PROPHET IS FIRST A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO FORTH 

TELL GOD'S TRUTH.  SUBSEQUENTLY OR SECONDARILY HE MAY 

FORETELL BUT THAT IS NOT THE PRIMARY JOB OF THE PROPHET.



Deuteronomy 5:11  PG 224 & 225

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: 

for the LORD will not hold <him> guiltless that taketh his 

name in vain.

HERE IS AN OFFENSE WHICH CARRIED THE DEATH PENALTY IN 

ISRAEL.  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO TAKE THE NAME OF THE 

LORD IN VAIN?  WHEN SOMEONE THROWS THE NAME OF JESUS 

AROUND IS IT LIKE FINGERNAILS ACROSS THE BLACKBOARD TO 

YOU?  HOW DO YOU GET PEOPLE TO STOP THIS IN YOUR PRESENCE?

ARE YOU AFRAID OF OFFENDING SOMEONE?  Matthew 10:33

But whosoever shall [deny] me before men, him will I also 

[deny] before my Father which is in heaven.



Exodus 22:29-30  PG 225

Thou shalt not delay <to offer> the first of thy ripe 

fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons 

shalt thou give unto me.  Likewise shalt thou do with 

thine oxen, <and> with thy sheep: seven days it shall be 

with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

MALE BABIES WERE TO BE CIRCUMCISED ON THE 8TH DAY.  THERE 

WAS ALSO A SACRIFICE REQUIRED TO REDEEM THIS BABY.  THE 

SACRIFICE WOULD DEPEND UPON THE WEALTH OF THE FAMILY.  DO 

YOU KNOW WHAT THE REDEMPTION SACRIFICE OF THE FIRST BORN 

SON WAS?



Deuteronomy 14:22-23  PG 226

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that 

the field bringeth forth year by year.  And thou shalt eat 

before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall 

choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of 

thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy 

herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear 

the LORD thy God always.

GOD WOULD HAVE ONLY ONE ACCEPTABLE PLACE FOR OFFERING 

SACRIFICES AND RECEIVING TITHES.  THIS WAS THE TEMPLE IN 

JERUSALEM POINTING TO HOW CHRIST WOULD BE SACRIFICED FOR 

SINS ONCE FOR ALL AT JERUSALEM.



Deuteronomy 14:28-29  PG 226

At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the 

tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay <it> 

up within thy gates:  And the Levite, (because he hath no 

part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the 

fatherless, and the widow, which <are> within thy gates, 

shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD 

thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which 

thou doest.

THERE ARE JEWS OF EVERY RACE EVERYWHERE AND HERE IS WHY.  

THE JEWS TOOK CARE OF THEIR OWN.  ALSO EVERYONE CAME TO 

KNOW THAT THE JEWS WOULD HAVE FOOD FOR THE STRANGER AND 

ALIEN.  THE SYNAGOGUE IN EACH TOWN WAS A PLACE ANY HUNGRY 

PERSON COULD GO TO FOR HELP.  THIS GENEROSITY CAUSED 

PEOPLE OF EVERY RACE TO BE PROSELYTIZED AND BECOME JEWS.  

THE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF WELFARE FROM THE CHURCHES IS 

WHAT IS BRINGING ABOUT THE FINANCIAL AND SPIRITUAL RUIN OF 

AMERICA.  IT SHOULD BE THE JOB OF THE CHURCH AND NOT THE 

GOVERNMENT TO FEED THE HUNGRY, CLOTHE THE NAKED, AND HOUSE 

THE HOMELESS.  WHEN THE CHURCH GAVE THIS RESPONSIBILITY TO 

THE GOVERNMENT, AMERICA LOST IT SPIRITUAL AND ECONOMIC 

ROOTS.  WHEN WELFARE IS HANDLED BY THE GOVERNMENT 75% OF 

THE FUNDS ARE LOST IN ADMINISTRATION.  PEOPLE ARE NOT 

HELPED OUT OF THEIR POVERTY.  CHURCH PEOPLE MISS THE 

BLESSINGS OF GOD WHICH GO WITH HELPING THOSE IN NEED.  

CHURCHES NEED TO TAKE THIS TURF BACK FROM THE GOVERNMENT.  

CHURCHES NEED TO ESTABLISH STORE HOUSES FOR HELPING THEIR 

OWN, THOSE IN THEIR COMMUNITY, AND THE STRANGER PASSING 

THROUGH.  I HAVE A WHOLE SERIES OF SERMONS ON THIS BUT 

BETTER STILL I RECOMMEND YOU READ ISAIAH 58.

Exodus 31:15  PG 228

Six days may work be done; but in the seventh <is> the 

sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth <any> 

work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

BREAKING THE SABBATH WAS A DEATH PENALTY OFFENSE.  WHAT 

DAY IS THE SABBATH?  IS ANY DAY OK AS LONG AS ONE OF SEVEN 

IS A DAY REST AND WORSHIP OF THE LORD?  HOW COME JEWS 

WORSHIP ON SATURDAY AND CHRISTIANS WORSHIP ON SUNDAY?  

WASN'T SUNDAY IN ANCIENT TIMES A WEEKLY FESTIVAL TO THE 

SUN GOD?









FEB 20  DEUT 16:, LEV 16:, 23:, NUM 29:  PG 228-236



Exodus 23:14-17  PG 228-229

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 

Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt 

eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in 

the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou 

camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me 

empty:) And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy 

labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast 

of ingathering, <which is> in the end of the year, when 

thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.  Three 

times in the year all thy males shall appear before the 

Lord GOD.

THERE ARE 3 FEASTS PER YEAR REQUIRED FOR ALL.  ALL MUST GO 

TO THE LORD'S APPOINTED PLACE THESE 3 TIMES EVERY YEAR.  

PASSOVER, HARVEST, AND INGATHERING ARE SOMETIMES CALLED BY 

DIFFERENT NAMES WHICH MAKES SOME THINK THAT THERE ARE MORE 

THAN 3 FEASTS UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES.  PASSOVER IS 

SOMETIMES CALLED UNLEAVENED BREAD.  HARVEST IS SOMETIMES 

CALLED FIRSTFRUITS, OR PENTECOST.  INGATHERING IS 

SOMETIMES CALLED TRUMPETS OR FEAST OF TABERNACLES.



HOW DOES THE PASSOVER POINT TO JESUS?



THE FIRST AND BEST IS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE LORD AT THE 

FEAST OF HARVEST.



THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, INGATHERING, OR TABERNACLES 

INCLUDES THE MOST HOLY DAY OF THE YEAR THE DAY OF 

ATONEMENT.  ONLY ON THIS ONE DAY EACH YEAR, ONLY THE HIGH 

PRIEST, ONLY WHEN PROPERLY ATTIRED, ONLY WHEN HIS 

SACRIFICE HAS BEEN MADE CAN THE HIGH PRIEST ENTER THE MOST 

HOLY PLACE.



IT IS FASCINATING TO SEE HOW THESE FEASTS POINT TO JESUS.  

JESUS BROUGHT THE NEW COVENANT.  JESUS ATONED FOR ALL OF 

OUR SINS FOR ALL TIME.  NOW EVERYONE MAY HAVE DIRECT 

ACCESS TO GOD.  THE NEW COVENANT IS SO FANTASTIC COMPARED 

TO THE OLD COVENANT ONE HAS TO WONDER HOW ALL JEWS WOULD 

NOT RECOGNIZE MESSIAH JESUS AND BE IN THE NEW COVENANT 

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.



Deuteronomy 16:13-14  PG 236

Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, 

after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: 

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, 

and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, 

and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the 

widow, that <are> within thy gates.

GOD WANTS US TO BE JOYFUL.  STINKIN THINKIN IS NOT PART OF 

GOD'S PROGRAM FOR US.









FEB 21  LEV 1:, 2:, 6:, NUM 15:  PG 236-240



Leviticus 1:2-4  PG 236

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If 

any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall 

bring your offering of the cattle, <even> of the herd, and 

of the flock.  If his offering <be> a burnt sacrifice of 

the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall 

offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the 

tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.  And he 

shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; 

and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for 

him.

EVERYONE SINS.  HERE WE SEE THAT UNDER THE OLD COVENANT 

SPOTLESS BULLS OR LAMBS WERE TO BE OFFERED TO ATONE FOR 

THE SINS COMMITTED EVERY DAY.

1) THE ANIMALS WERE ALWAYS MALES

2) THEY WERE PERFECT OR SPOTLESS

3) THEY WERE BUTCHERED BY THE PERSON SEEKING TO MAKE THE 

ATONEMENT SACRIFICE.

4) THE PRIESTS WOULD PUT THE OFFERING ON THE ALTER TO BE 

BURNED

5) THE OFFERING WAS TOTALLY CONSUMED



WHAT ARE SOME OF THE WAYS YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS SACRIFICE 

SYSTEM WAS POINTING TO WHAT JESUS DID ON CALVARY?



CAN YOU MAKE SOME COMPARISONS OF THE SYSTEM OF SACRIFICE 

AND ATONEMENT UNDER THE OLD AND NEW COVENANTS?

FEB 22  LEV 3:, 7:, 4&5:, NUM 15:  PG 240-245



FELLOWSHIP OFFERINGS ARE DIFFERENT FROM SIN ATONEMENT 

OFFERINGS.  ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE MEAT IS TOTALLY 

CONSUMED AS A BURNT OFFERING.  THE MAJORITY OF THE MEAT IS 

TO PROVIDE A FEAST FOR THE LEVITES AND THE PEOPLE MAKING 

THE FELLOWSHIP OFFERING, THANKSGIVING OFFERINGS, AND 

FREEWILL OFFERINGS.  THE ANIMALS MUST STILL BE SPOTLESS.  

NOTHING LESS THAN PERFECT WAS ALLOWED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE 

ALTER OF THE LORD.



HERE WE SEE THE LORD ACCEPTING FREEWILL OFFERINGS OF 

THANKSGIVING AND FELLOWSHIP.  GOD IS FEASTING AND 

FELLOWSHIPS WITH HIS PEOPLE.  HE ACCEPTS THEIR PRAISE AND 

THANKSGIVING IN FELLOWSHIP WITH THEM.



UNDER THE NEW COVENANT CHRIST HAS ATONED FOR ALL SINS.  

NOW FELLOWSHIP IS ONLY BROKEN WITH GOD BY UNCONFESSED OR 

UNREPENTANT SIN.  IF WE AGREE WITH GOD AND CONFESS OUR 

SINS THEY ARE FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN AND THERE IS 

FANTASTIC UNLIMITED FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.



THE SIN OFFERINGS ARE MOST HOLY POINTING TO HE MOST HOLY 

WORK OF JESUS CHRIST.  EITHER GOD MAKES PROVISION TO 

FORGIVE AND ATONE FOR OUR SINS OR ELSE WE ARE HOPELESSLY 

LOST.  THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD EVER ATONE FOR OUR OWN 

SINS.  ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY RAGS TO GOD.  

YET HE FORGIVES US FOR CHRIST'S SAKE AND FELLOWSHIPS WITH 

US AND LOVES US SO MUCH.  WE WILL ALSO BE REWARDED FOR 

WHATEVER GOOD WORKS WHICH WE DO STRICTLY FOR GOD'S GLORY.



Numbers 15:29-31  PG 245

Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through 

ignorance, <both for> him that is born among the children 

of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among 

them.  But the soul that doeth <ought> presumptuously, 

<whether he be> born in the land, or a stranger, the same 

reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from 

among his people.  Because he hath despised the word of 

the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall 

utterly be cut off; his iniquity <shall be> upon him.

GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.  SAME LAW APPLIES TO ALL.  

IT IS DEADLY SERIOUS TO SIN PRESUMPTUOUSLY OR WILLFULLY OR 

DEFIANTLY.









FEB 23  LEV 22:, 23:, NUM 28:, DEUT 21  PG 245-248



Numbers 6:23  PG 248

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise 

ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

LET US PRAY THE FOLLOWING BLESSING ON EACH OTHER.



Numbers 6:24-26

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious 

unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee 

peace.

WHAT ELSE COULD ANYONE POSSIBLY NEED?







FEB 24  LEV. 21:1 - 25:55   PG 248 - 252



Lev 21:8  PG 248

Regard them as holy, because they offer up the food of 

your God.  Consider them holy, because I the LORD am 

holy-- I who make you holy.

GOD IS HOLY.  IT IS GOD WHO MAKES US HOLY.  WE DO NOT EARN 

RIGHTEOUSNESS. CHRIST EARNED RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR US.  THE 

POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONLY THING WHICH CAN GIVE 

US THE POWER WE NEED TO LIVE HOLY LIVES.



Lev 21:17  PG 249

"Say to Aaron: `For the generations to come none of your 

descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the 

food of his God.

NO IMPERFECTION OR DEFECT WAS ALLOWED FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD 

COME TO MAKE OFFERINGS TO SUCH A HOLY GOD.  WE MUST BE 

PERFECT TO APPROACH SUCH A HOLY GOD. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR 

ANY HUMAN IN THEIR OWN POWER TO LIVE HOLY.  THEREFORE WE 

MUST BE BORN AGAIN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.



Lev 21:23  PG 249

yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain 

or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am 

the LORD, who makes them holy.'"

HOW CAN ANY HUMAN BE PERFECT?  HOW CAN ANY HUMAN BE HOLY?  

YET THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JESUS SAYS IS REQUIRED IN :

Matt 5:48 - Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father 

which is in heaven is perfect. (KJV)

PAUL GIVES THE ANSWER IN: Phil 3:12-15

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. Brethren, 

I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing 

I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and 

reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press 

toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God 

in Christ Jesus.   Let us therefore, as many as be 

perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be 

otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.



Lev 25:3-6  PG 250

For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune 

your vineyards and gather their crops.  But in the seventh 

year the land is to have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath to 

the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.  

Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of 

your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.  

Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be 

food for you-- for yourself, your manservant and 

maidservant, and the hired worker and temporary resident 

who live among you,

WHAT IS GOD TEACHING HERE WITH THE SABBATH?  JESUS SAID 

THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN NOT MAN MADE FOR THE SABBATH.  

EVEN THE LAND WAS TO HAVE A SABBATH. THE PEOPLE WERE NOT 

TO SOW OR REAP.  EVERYONE WAS TO BE FREE TO GATHER 

WHATEVER THE LAND PRODUCED BY ITSELF.  THE PEOPLE WERE 

BEING TAUGHT TO DEPEND ON GOD AND NOT TO DEPEND ON 

THEMSELVES.  THEY WERE BEING TAUGHT THAT GOD AND ONLY GOD 

WAS TO BE THEIR PROVIDER.  THIS PRACTICE ALSO MADE THE 

LAND MORE PRODUCTIVE.  THE PRACTICE OF LEAVING LAND FALLOW 

REMAINS AN IMPORTANT PART OF AGRICULTURE TO AVOID 

DEPLETING THE SOIL.  IT IS GOD, NOT OUR BRAINS, NOT OUR 

EFFORTS, IT IS ONLY GOD WHO PROVIDES US WITH ANY GOOD 

AND/OR PERFECT GIFT.





Lev 25:8-17  PG 251

"`Count off seven sabbaths of years-- seven times seven 

years-- so that the seven sabbaths of years amount to a 

period of forty-nine years.  Then have the trumpet sounded 

everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the 

Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.  

Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty 

throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a 

jubilee for you; each one of you is to return to his 

family property and each to his own clan.  The fiftieth 

year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not 

reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.  

For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only 

what is taken directly from the fields. "`In this Year of 

Jubilee everyone is to return to his own property. "`If 

you sell land to one of your countrymen or buy any from 

him, do not take advantage of each other.  You are to buy 

from your countryman on the basis of the number of years 

since the Jubilee. And he is to sell to you on the basis 

of the number of years left for harvesting crops.  When 

the years are many, you are to increase the price, and 

when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, 

because what he is really selling you is the number of 

crops.  Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your 

God. I am the LORD your God.

THE JUBILEE OR 50TH YEAR IS HOLY AND SPECIAL.  IT IS AN 

ENTIRE YEAR OF REST AND HOLY CELEBRATION WHERE ALL DEBTS 

ARE FORGIVEN.  THE LAND WAS NEVER TO BE SOLD.  IT WAS A 

PERMANENT POSSESSION.  IT WOULD ALWAYS BE RETURNED TO THE 

SELLER IN THE YEAR OF JUBILEE.  GOD MADE IT ALL AND OWNS 

IT ALL.  WE ARE ALIENS IN GOD'S LAND.  WE ARE AT BEST HIS 

STEWARDS OR TENANTS OF HIS LAND. IT IS AN HISTORICAL 

ECONOMIC FACT THAT ECONOMIC DEPRESSIONS OCCUR IN 50 YEAR 

CYCLES.  BY THIS JUBILEE GOD WAS SPARING HIS PEOPLE FROM 

THE HARDSHIPS OF DEPRESSION.  OUR LAST GREAT DEPRESSION 

WAS IN THE 1930'S.  WHY DIDN'T WE HAVE ONE IN THE 1980'S?  

WE SHOULD HAVE AND THE ONE THAT IS COMING SOON IS ONLY 

GOING TO BE THAT MUCH WORSE.  WE ARE REMINDED TO OWE NO 

MAN NOTHING BUT LOVE.  EVERYONE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO 

STAY OUT OF DEBT.  IF YOU CAN'T PAY CASH FOR IT HOLD OFF  

UNTIL YOU CAN.  THE NEXT ECONOMIC DEPRESSION WILL BE FAR 

GREATER IN SCOPE AND SEVERITY THAN ANY PREVIOUS ONE.  THE 

INTERNATIONAL BANKERS ARE MANIPULATING VALUELESS 

CURRENCIES AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD.  THE COMING GREAT 

WORLD ECONOMIC COLLAPSE MAY VERY WELL BE WHAT BRINGS 

ANTICHRIST TO FULL POWER.









FEB 25  LEV 12:1 - 15:30, NUM 19:   PG 253-256



Leviticus 12:8  PG 253

And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall 

bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the 

burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the 

priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be 

clean.

MARY AND JOSEPH COULD NOT AFFORD THE LAMB & DOVE.  WHEN 

THEY CAME FOR PRESENTATION AT THE TEMPLE FOLLOWING THE 

BIRTH OF JESUS, THEY BROUGHT THE TWO DOVES.  THINK HOW THE 

LORD OF GLORY HUMBLED HIMSELF.



Leviticus 14:19  PG 254

And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an 

atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his 

uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt 

offering: And the priest shall offer the burnt offering 

and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall 

make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

UNDER THE OLD COVENANT IT WAS BELIEVED THAT IF SOMEONE GOT 

SICK IT WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD SINNED.  THE FRIENDS OF JOB 

GIVE THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THIS PERSPECTIVE.  IF THE 

PEOPLE WERE OBEDIENT GOD PROMISED THEM HEALTH.  THIS IDEA 

OF THE OLD COVANENT WHERE SICKNESS WAS A RESULT OF SIN OF 

THE ONE AFFLICTED HAD BASIS IN SCRIPTURE.  SICKNESS AND 

SUFFERING HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.  YOU 

CAN KNOW FOR SURE THAT SATAN IS THE ONE WHO IS BEHIND ALL 

SUFFERING AND SICKNESS.  WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER PERSPECTIVE 

ON SICKNESS AND SUFFERING IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.  SATAN 

SEEKS WHO HE MAY STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY.  HE GETS THIS 

STEALING AND KILLING LICENCE WHEN WE SIN.  USUALLY IT IS 

NOT THE ONE DOING THE SINNING WHO DOES THE SUFFERING.



Leviticus 14:25  PG 254

And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and 

the priest shall take <some> of the blood of the trespass 

offering, and put <it> upon the tip of the right ear of 

him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his 

right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ON THE 

RIGHT EAR, RIGHT THUMB, AND RIGHT BIG TOE?  I BELIEVE 

SOMEONE IN OUR GROUP HAD PREVIOUSLY SHARED SOMETHING ABOUT 

THIS.  HEAR NO EVIL, DO NO EVIL WITH YOUR HANDS, AND RUN 

FROM ANY OCCASION OF EVIL.  THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY TV, 

MAGAZINES, OR CAMERAS SO THE EYES DIDN'T TEND TO GET THEM 

IN THE KINDS OF TROUBLE WE CAN GET INTO TODAY.



Numbers 19:2   PG 256

This <is> the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath 

commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that 

they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein <is> no 

blemish, <and> upon which never came yoke:

ASHES OF THE RED HEIFER WERE USED FOR PURIFICATION WATER.









FEB 26  NUM 6, DEU 23, LEV 19, 27  PG 256 - 261



Deuteronomy 23:2  PG 257

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the 

LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into 

the congregation of the LORD.

GOD IS HOLY.  HE WANTS HIS PEOPLE HOLY.  FAIRNESS IS NOT 

AN ISSUE.  WHAT IS FAIR ABOUT JESUS GOING TO CALVARY FOR 

MY SINS?  MR. SMITH IS RIGHT ON TARGET THAT THESE 

SEEMINGLY HARSH EXCLUSIONS WERE AIMED AT DENOUNCING AND 

PREVENTING THE PRACTICES WHICH CAUSE THEM.



Numbers 6:2,3,5,6,7,& 8  PG 257-258

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When 

either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a 

vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:

3)He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, 

and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong 

drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor 

eat moist grapes, or dried.

5) All the days of the vow of his separation there shall 

no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, 

in the which he separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he 

shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of 

his head grow.

6) All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD 

he shall come at no dead body.

7) He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or 

for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when 

they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon 

his head.

8) All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the 

LORD.

PEOPLE COULD MAKE VOWS TO THE LORD.  THE NAZARITE VOW WAS 

A SPECIAL VOW.  CAN YOU NAME ANY PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE WHO 

MADE THIS NAZARITE VOW? (SAMPSON & JOHN THE BAPTIST) THE 

THING ABOUT MAKING VOWS TO THE LORD IS THAT YOU BETTER 

KEEP THE VOW.  GOD IS PERFECT AT KEEPING HIS PROMISES AND 

WE HAD BETTER KEEP OUR PROMISES TO GOD.  GOD ALWAYS HAS 

AND ALWAYS WILL TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY ANY PROMISES WE MAKE 

TO HIM.  IF YOU MAKE HIM A PROMISE YOU BETTER KEEP IT.



Leviticus 27:2, 28, 29, 30  PG 259 -260

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When 

a man shall make a singular vow, the persons [shall be] 

for the LORD by thy estimation.

28) Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall 

devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of man 

and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be 

sold or redeemed: every devoted thing [is] most holy unto 

the LORD.

29) None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be 

redeemed; [but] shall surely be put to death.

30) And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed 

of the land, [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is] the 

LORD'S: [it is] holy unto the LORD.

GOD TAKES VERY SERIOUSLY THOSE THINGS VOWED TO HIM.  HE 

MAKES THEM HOLY.  WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE REALIZE WE 

ARE SINNERS, AND THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE US AND WE ASK 

HIM TO SAVE US?  WE ARE SAVED AND WE ARE VOWED TO HIM AND 

WE ARE TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION.  THINK 

ABOUT WHAT SANCTIFICATION IS.  IT IS THE PROCESS OF 

BECOMING HOLY.  SANCTIFICATION IS THE PROCESS OF BECOMING 

MORE AND MORE DEVOTED TO THE LORD.



Leviticus 27:32 & 33  PG 260

And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, 

[even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth 

shall be holy unto the LORD.

33) He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither 

shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both 

it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be 

redeemed.

TITHES ARE HOLY.  THE WERE ESTABLISHED WAY BEFORE THE LAW 

AND ARE PART OF THE NEW TESTAMENT AND WILL BE IN THE 

MILLENNIUM.  IF YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE BLESSINGS 

OF TITHING, JUST TRY IT.  IT MAY BE SCARY AT FIRST BUT 

SOON YOU WILL SEE HOW FANTASTIC GOD'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS.  

WHEN WE ARE FAITHFUL WITH THE TITHE WE WILL NOT HAVE 

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.



Deuteronomy 23:21, 22 & 23  PG 260

When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou 

shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will 

surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

22) But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin 

in thee.

23) That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and 

perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou 

hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised 

with thy mouth.

WHAT DOES GOD NEED FROM US?  NOTHING.  HE REALLY DOESN'T 

CARE IF WE MAKE PROMISES TO HIM - BUT HE CARES BIG TIME 

WHETHER WE KEEP OUR PROMISES TO HIM.  BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT 

YOU PROMISE TO GOD.



Leviticus 19:2  PG 260

Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, 

and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your 

God [am] holy.

GOD IS HOLY.  WE NEED TO BE ABOUT THE JOB OF 

SANCTIFICATION AS JOB 1.  WE MUST BECOME HOLY.



Leviticus 19:19  PG 260

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle 

gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field 

with mingled seed:

WE ARE TO BE HOLY AND SEPARATE FROM THE ADULTEROUS WORLD.









FEB 27  DEU 17, 19, & 24  PG 261 - 263



Deuteronomy 17:15 - 20  PG 261

Thou shalt in any wise set <him> king over thee, whom the 

LORD thy God shall choose: <one> from among thy brethren 

shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a 

stranger over thee, which <is> not thy brother.  But he 

shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people 

to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply 

horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall 

henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he 

multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: 

neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and 

gold.  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: 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: 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.

WHAT IS THE BEST FORM OF GOVERNMENT?  MOST PEOPLE WOULD 

SAY DEMOCRACY.  GOD'S BEST FOR HIS PEOPLE IS A THEOCRACY.  

WHO COULD POSSIBLY KNOW BETTER WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO 

GOVERN THAN GOD?  GOD KNEW ISRAEL WOULD EVENTUALLY DECIDE 

TO LEAVE THEIR THEOCRACY FORM OF GOVERNMENT AND HAVE A 

KING LIKE THE NATIONS AROUND THEM.  WHAT ARE THE 

QUALIFICATIONS AND QUALITIES FOR A KING FOR ISRAEL?

1) HE MUST BE CHOSEN BY GOD,

2) HE MUST BE AN ISRAELITE,

3) HE MUST NOT SEEK TO BUILD AN EMPIRE BY ACQUIRING HORSES 

WHICH WAS THE MEASURE OF MILITARY STRENGTH,

4) EGYPT HAD THE BEST HORSES AND WERE STRONG MILITARILY 

BECAUSE OF THEIR HORSES AND THE KING OF ISRAEL WAS NOT TO 

SEEK THESE EGYPTIAN HORSES BUT WAS TO TRUST IN GOD RATHER 

THAN MILITARY MIGHT,

5) HE WAS NOT TO HAVE MANY WIVES - MONOGAMY WAS ALWAYS 

GOD'S PERFECT WILL FOR MANKIND,

6) HE WAS NOT TO BE COVETOUS, HE WAS NOT TO TRUST IN HIS 

MONEY, HE WAS TO TRUST IN GOD,

7) HE WAS TO WRITE, WITH HIS OWN HAND THE FIVE BOOKS OF 

GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, AND DEUTERONOMY WITH 

HIS OWN HAND.

8) HE WAS TO READ FROM THIS BOOK EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE.

9) HE IS NOT TO CONSIDER HIMSELF BETTER THAN HIS BROTHERS.

10) HE WAS GOING TO FOLLOW GOD'S LAW EXACTLY.











Exodus 22:28  PG 262

Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy 

people.

HERE IS A VERSE WHERE THE KJV IS CONFUSING.  SOMEHOW 

ELOHEEM WAS TRANSLATED WITH A LITTLE "g".  ELOHEEM IS 

ALWAYS BIG "G".  THE IDEA HERE IS NOT TO MAKE LIGHT, OR BE 

TOO CASUAL, OR BLASPHEME GOD.  GOD EITHER PLACES OR AT 

LEAST ALLOWS ALL RULERS TO HAVE THEIR POSITIONS.  RESPECT 

FOR AUTHORITY IS ONE OF GOD'S STRICT REQUIREMENTS.



Exodus 23:8  PG 262

And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the 

wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Leviticus 19:15  PG 262

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not 

respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of 

the mighty: <but> in righteousness shalt thou judge thy 

neighbour.

Deuteronomy 24:17  PG 262

Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, <nor> 

of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:

JUDGES ARE NOT TO TAKE BRIBES.  THEY ARE NOT TO BE 

RESPECTERS OF PERSONS.  THEY ARE TO BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL 

IN THEIR VERDICTS.  DOES THE POOR MAN FIND EQUAL JUSTICE 

IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM?  HOW OFTEN ARE CASES  DECIDED ON THE 

BASIS OF WHO CAN PAY FOR THE BEST LAWYERS.



Deuteronomy 5:20  PG 263

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy 

neighbour.

Exodus 23:1  PG 263

Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand 

with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Exodus 23:2  PG 263

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to <do> evil; neither 

shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest 

<judgment>:

Deuteronomy 19:15  PG 263

One witness shall not rise up against a man for any 

iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at 

the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three 

witnesses, shall the matter be established.

TRUTH.  LOVE OF THE TRUTH MAY BE THE MOST ESSENTIAL PART 

OF THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN.  IN John 14:6 - Jesus saith 

unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man 

cometh unto the Father, but by me.  JESUS PERSONIFIED 

TRUTH.  JESUS IS THE TRUTH.  John 18:37 - Pilate therefore 

said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou 

sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for 

this cause came I into the world, that I should bear 

witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth 

heareth my voice.  IN OUR CULTURE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO 

ABSOLUTES.  SOME SHARP MIND CAN ALWAYS CHALLENGE EVERY 

ABSOLUTE TRUTH.  YET UNLESS WE CAN ACCEPT SOME THINGS AS 

BEING ABSOLUTELY TRUE LIFE WILL HOLD NOTHING BUT 

FRUSTRATION AND CONFUSION.  THE ONLY THING GOD CAN'T DO IS 

LIE.  LIARS ARE DESTINED FOR THE LAKE OF FIRE  Revelation 

21:8 ...[all liars], shall have their part in the lake 

which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second 

death.  THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD.  IT IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH.  

YOUR COMMITMENT TO READ THROUGH THIS BIBLE IN A YEAR 

PROVES YOUR LOVE FOR THE TRUTH.  FALSE WITNESS AND SLANDER 

IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY GOD.



Deuteronomy 21:23  PG 263

His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but 

thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is 

hanged <is> accursed of God;) that thy land be not 

defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee <for> an 

inheritance.

HERE AGAIN WE CAN SEE THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW POINTING TO 

JESUS.  2 Corinthians 5:21 - For he hath made him <to be> 

sin for us, who [knew no sin]; that we might be made the 

righteousness of God in him.

Matthew 27:46 - And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with 

a loud voice, saying, Eli , Eli, lama sabachthani? that is 

to say, My God, my God, why hast thou [forsaken me]?

JESUS BECAME SIN FOR US THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE RIGHTEOUS. 

WHILE HANGING ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY HE WAS FORSAKEN BY 

GOD, HE DESCENDED INTO HELL AND PAID THE FULL PRICE OF 

HELL FOR EVERY ONE OF US.  BY HIS INFINITE CLOSENESS WITH 

GOD THE FATHER FROM ALL ETERNITY PAST HE KNEW THE FATHER 

MORE FULLY THAN ANY OF US CAN EVER HOPE TO UNDERSTAND.  HE 

WAS FORSAKEN, ACCURSED, AND SEPARATED FROM GOD.  THAT IS 

WHAT HELL IS - TO KNOW HOW GREAT GOD IS AND THEN HAVING IT 

PRONOUNCED THAT FOR ALL ETERNITY YOU MAY HAVE NO CONTACT 

WITH HIM.  JESUS PAID IT ALL.  IT IS NOT CHEAP GRACE WE 

FIND IN JESUS.  HE PAID THE FULL PRICE OF HELL FOR ALL OF 

US.







FEB 28  NUM 35, DEUT 19,22 EX 21  PG 264 - 267



Exodus 21:12-14  PG 264

He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put 

to death.  And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver 

<him> into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place 

whither he shall flee.  But if a man come presumptuously 

upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt 

take him from mine altar, that he may die.

IF THE MURDER IS PREMEDITATED THAN THERE IS TO BE THE 

DEATH PENALTY.  IF THE PERSON IS KILLED BY ACCIDENT THAN 

THERE IS A PLACE WHERE THE PERSON MAY FLEE FOR SAFETY FROM 

THE VENGEANCE OF THE RELATIVES OF THE PERSON WHO WAS 

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.  MORE THAN ONE WITNESS IS REQUIRED TO 

CONVICT OF THE CRIME OF MURDER.



Numbers 35:33-34  PG 264

So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye <are>: for 

blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be 

cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the 

blood of him that shed it.  Defile not therefore the land 

which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD 

dwell among the children of Israel.

GOD REQUIRES THAT MURDERERS BE PUT TO DEATH.



Exodus 22:2-3   PG 264

If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he 

die, <there shall> no blood <be shed> for him. If the sun 

be risen upon him, <there shall be> blood <shed> for him; 

<for> he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, 

then he shall be sold for his theft.

THIS CAUSED MOST STEALING TO BE DONE IN THE DAYLIGHT IN 

ISRAEL.  IF THE THIEF WAS CAUGHT BREAKING INTO A HOUSE AT 

NIGHT HE WOULD BE KILLED BY THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE WITH NO 

GUILT BEING PLACED ON THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE FOR KILLING 

THE THIEF IN THE DARK.  IF THE THIEF WAS CAUGHT BREAKING 

IN DURING DAYLIGHT HE WAS NOT TO BE KILLED.



Numbers 35:26-28  PG 265

But if the slayer shall at any time come without the 

border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; And 

the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the 

city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the 

slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: Because he should 

have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of 

the high priest: but after the death of the high priest 

the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY KILLED SOMEONE YOU HAD TO FLEE TO A 

CITY OF REFUGE.  IF YOU EVER CAME OUT OF THE CITY OF 

REFUGE THE RELATIVE OF THE PERSON THAT YOU ACCIDENTALLY 

KILLED WOULD BE FREE TO KILL YOU WITH NO PENALTY.  YOU HAD 

TO REMAIN IN THE CITY OF REFUGE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR 

UNTIL THE HIGH PRIEST DIED.  AFTER THE DEATH OF THE HIGH 

PRIEST YOU COULD SAFELY LEAVE THE CITY OF REFUGE.

Deuteronomy 19:11-12  PG 266

But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for 

him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that 

he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:  Then the 

elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and 

deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he 

may die.

PREMEDITATED OR 1ST DEGREE MURDERS WERE NOT PROTECTED BY 

FLEEING TO A CITY OF REFUGE.  IT WAS ONLY A REFUGE FOR 

PEOPLE WHO KILLED WITHOUT MALICE AFORETHOUGHT.



Exodus 21:22 - 23  PG 266

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her 

fruit depart <from her>, and yet no mischief follow: he 

shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband 

will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges 

<determine>.  And if <any> mischief follow, then thou 

shalt give life for life,

HERE IS STRONG PROOF THAT FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE ABORTION 

IS MURDER.



Leviticus 24:19-20  PG 266

And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath 

done, so shall it be done to him; Breach for breach, eye 

for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a 

man, so shall it be done to him <again>.

HERE IS THE EYE FOR EYE, TOOTH FOR TOOTH VERSE.  BY THIS 

LAW GOD WAS LIMITING VENGEANCE.  BEFORE THIS LAW THE 

AMOUNT OF VENGEANCE WAS ANYTHING SHORT OF DEATH.  THIS IS 

OLD TESTAMENT.  WHAT IS THE NEW TESTAMENT COMPLETION OF 

THIS LAW?  Matthew 5:38-40  Ye have heard that it hath 

been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:  

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever 

shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other 

also.  And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take 

away thy coat, let him have <thy> cloak also.



Exodus 21:15  PG 267

And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be 

surely put to death.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY WAS NOT A PROBLEM IN OLD ISRAEL.  

CHILDREN WERE UNDER A DEATH PENALTY FOR DISOBEDIENCE.  AS 

A RESULT THE CHILDREN WERE OBEDIENT.



Exodus 22:4  PG 267

If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether 

it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.

STEALING WAS NOT A GREAT PROBLEM IN ISRAEL.  PEOPLE WERE 

NOT IMPRISONED FOR STEALING.  THEY WERE REQUIRED TO PAY 

BACK AT LEAST DOUBLE WHAT THEY HAD STOLEN.



MAR 1  EX 22 & 22, DEUT 21 & 25, NUM 30  PG 268 - 274



Exodus 22:9  PG 268

For all manner of trespass, [whether it be]

for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any 

manner of lost thing, which [another] challengeth to be 

his, the cause of both parties shall come before the 

judges; [and] whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay 

double unto his neighbour.

OLD ISRAEL DIDN'T HAVE A HIGH CRIME RATE.  THIEVES HAD TO 

PAY BACK DOUBLE.  THEY WERE NOT PUT IN PRISON.  

RESTITUTION MAKES BETTER SENSE THAN PRISON.



Exodus 22:14-15  PG 268

And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be 

hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it, he 

shall surely make [it] good. [But] if the owner thereof 

[be] with it, he shall not make [it] good: if it [be] an 

hired [thing], it came for his hire.

IF YOU BORROW SOMETHING YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CARE.  

IF THE THING YOU BORROW BREAKS WHILE YOU ARE USING IT, 

THEN YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT.  ON THE OTHER HAND IF YOU 

HIRE SOMEONE TO BRING HIS EQUIPMENT IN TO DO WORK FOR YOU 

AND HIS EQUIPMENT BREAKS WHILE HE IS USING IT THEN YOU ARE 

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING OR REPLACING HIS EQUIPMENT.



Exodus 22:16-17  PG 268

And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie 

with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. If her 

father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay 

money according to the dowry of virgins.

ADULTERY CARRIED THE DEATH PENALTY IN ISRAEL.  FORNICATION 

WAS HANDLED DIFFERENTLY.  IF A MAN SEDUCED A GIRL HE COULD 

MARRY THE GIRL TO SAVE HIS LIFE.  IF THE FATHER OF THE 

GIRL REFUSED TO HAVE HIM AS A SON-IN-LAW HE COULD PAY THE 

DOWRY PRICE FOR THE GIRL.



Exodus 21:33-34  PG 269

And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a 

pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

The owner of the pit shall make [it] good, [and] give 

money unto the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall 

be his.

IF YOU DUG A PIT YOU HAD TO PROTECT IT WITH A FENCE.  

PEOPLE HAD TO ACT RESPONSIBLY.  IF SOMEONE'S ANIMAL WERE 

HURT ON YOUR PROPERTY YOU WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE 

RESTITUTION.



Exodus 21:29-32  PG 269

But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time 

past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath 

not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; 

the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to 

death.  If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he  

shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid 

upon him.  Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a 

daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto 

him.  If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; 

he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, 

and the ox shall be stoned.

PEOPLE DID NOT KEEP DANGEROUS ANIMALS.  IF YOU HAD A BULL 

THAT WAS KNOWN TO BE DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE WAS GORED AND 

KILLED BY THAT BULL YOU COULD BE KILLED BECAUSE YOU KNEW 

THE BULL WAS DANGEROUS AND DID NOT GET RID OF THE 

DANGEROUS BULL.  THE FAMILY OF THE PERSON KILLED HAD THE 

OPTION OF KILLING YOU OR REQUIRING YOU TO PAY WHATEVER 

AMOUNT THEY WANTED YOU TO PAY.



Deuteronomy 22:8  PG 269

When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a 

battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon 

thine house, if any man fall from thence.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE WHEN PEOPLE ARE INJURED ON YOUR 

PROPERTY.  RAILINGS WERE REQUIRE TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM 

FALLING OFF YOUR ROOF OR BALCONY.



Deuteronomy 24:14-15  PG 269

Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and 

needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy 

strangers that [are] in thy land within thy gates:  At his 

day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither shall the sun 

go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart 

upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be 

sin unto thee.

WHEN YOU HIRE SOMEONE YOU HAD TO PAY THEM IMMEDIATELY.  

GOD'S HEART IS VERY COMPASSIONATE TO THE POOR.  IF THE 

POOR CRY TO THE LORD AGAINST YOU BECAUSE YOU WITHHELD 

THEIR WAGES THEN YOU WERE IN BIG TROUBLE.



Deuteronomy 23:19-20  PG 270

Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of 

money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent 

upon usury:  Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; 

but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that 

the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest 

thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess 

it.

WHEN YOU LEND MONEY YOU SHOULD NOT CHARGE INTEREST TO YOUR 

FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS.  YOU 

NEED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GIVING THEM A GIFT AND NOT 

EXPECT THEM TO PAY YOU BACK.  IF YOU ARE NOT IN A STRONG 

ENOUGH FINANCIAL POSITION TO GIVE YOUR BROTHER A GIFT 

DON'T MAKE THE LOAN.  YOU CAN'T LOAN AND EXPECT TO BE 

REPAID.  IF THEY DO REPAY THAN COUNT IT AS A BLESSING.  IF 

YOU FEEL THEY SHOULD REPAY OR ESPECIALLY IF YOU WILL NEED 

THEM TO REPAY DON'T LOAN IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.  THIS IS 

NOT A LICENCE TO FAIL TO PAY BACK YOUR BROTHER IF HE HELPS 

YOU.  IT IS JUST A BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE THAT KEEPS HARMONY 

IN FAMILIES AND CHURCHES.  DON'T LOAN MONEY TO FRIENDS AND 

FAMILY.  GIVE THEM GIFTS IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT.  IF THEY 

PAY YOU BACK, AND THEY SHOULD, FINE AND DANDY.  BUT DON'T 

MAKE THEM A LOAN UNLESS YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT EXPECTING 

THEM TO REPAY.  YOU MUST VIEW IT AS A GIFT.- Luke 6:34-35 

And if ye lend [to them] of whom ye hope to receive, what 

thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to 

receive as much again.  But love ye your enemies, and do 

good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward 

shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the 

Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the 

evil.



Deuteronomy 15:7-11  PG 271

If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren 

within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God 

giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut 

thine hand from thy poor brother:  But thou shalt open 

thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him 

sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.  

Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, 

saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; 

and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou 

givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, 

and it be sin unto thee.  Thou shalt surely give him, and 

thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto 

him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall 

bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest 

thine hand unto.  For the poor shall never cease out of 

the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt 

open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to 

thy needy, in thy land.

ISAIAH 58:6-11 [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? 

to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy 

burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye 

break every yoke? [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the 

hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to 

thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; 

and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?  Then 

shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine 

health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness 

shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy 

rereward.  Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall 

answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If 

thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the 

putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;  And 

[if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the 

afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, 

and thy darkness [be] as the noon day:  And the LORD shall 

guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, 

and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered 

garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.





Numbers 30:13-15  PG 272

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her 

husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from 

day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her 

bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because 

he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them].

But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath 

heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.

IT WOULD NOT BE POLITICALLY CORRECT TO GO INTO DETAIL 

REGARDING HOW GOD REQUIRES SPECIFIC AUTHORITY AND 

ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURES.  WOMEN HAVE A CHOICE OF EITHER 

TRYING TO DEAL WITH THEIR HELPLESS HUSBAND OR TO TRUST GOD 

TO DEAL WITH HIM.  IT WOULD SEEM THAT THESE VERSES WOULD 

REQUIRE THE HUSBAND TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIS WIFE IN GREAT 

DETAIL EVERY DAY.  ANY DEAL SHE MADE COULD BE CANCELED IF 

HE TOOK SWIFT RESPONSIBLE ACTION.  IF HE EITHER DID NOT 

COMMUNICATE WITH HIS WIFE OR HE DID NOT TAKE IMMEDIATE 

RESPONSIBLE ACTION HER DEALS BECAME HIS DEALS.  THE LAW 

HAD TO BE SET UP THIS WAY BECAUSE MEN ARE NATURALLY 

IRRESPONSIBLE AND THEY WILL TURN OVER ANY RESPONSIBILITY 

TO THEIR WIFE THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH.  THIS LAW 

LIMITED HOW MUCH THE IRRESPONSIBLE MAN COULD GET AWAY 

WITH.  THE JAN 1 STUDY ON GEN 2:18 MIGHT BE WORTH REVIEW.



Deuteronomy 25:13-16  PG 272

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and 

a small.  Thou shalt not have in thine house divers 

measures, a great and a small.  [But] thou shalt have a 

perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt 

thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land 

which the LORD thy God giveth thee.  For all that do such 

things, [and] all that do unrighteously, [are] an 

abomination unto the LORD thy God.

GOD REQUIRES HONESTY.  CHEATING PEOPLE IS AN ABOMINATION 

TO THE LORD.









MAR 2  DEUT 22 & 24, LEV 18 & 20  PG 275 -280



Deuteronomy 24:5    PG 275

When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to 

war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] 

he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his 

wife which he hath taken.

FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF THEIR MARRIAGE MEN WERE EXEMPT FROM 

MILITARY SERVICE.  WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?  WOULD THIS 

STRENGTHEN OR WEAKEN ISRAEL MILITARILY?



Deuteronomy 22:13-21  PG 275

If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an 

evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I 

came to her, I found her not a maid:  Then shall the 

father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth 

[the tokens of] the damsel's virginity unto the elders of 

the city in the gate:  And the damsel's father shall say 

unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, 

and he hateth her;  And, lo, he hath given occasions of 

speech [against her], saying, I found not thy daughter a 

maid; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter's 

virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the 

elders of the city.  And the elders of that city shall 

take that man and chastise him; And they shall amerce him 

in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto 

the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an 

evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his 

wife; he may not put her away all his days.  But if this 

thing be true, [and the tokens of] virginity be not found 

for the damsel:  Then they shall bring out the damsel to 

the door of her father's house, and the men of her city 

shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath 

wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's 

house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ABORTION CLINICS IN ISRAEL.  TEENAGE 

PREGNANCY WAS NO PROBLEM IN ISRAEL.  THERE WAS VERY LITTLE 

NEED FOR AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN IN ISRAEL.  THERE WERE 

STANDARDS OF SEXUAL MORALITY THAT RESOLVED PROBLEMS FOR 

THE SOCIETY BEFORE THERE EVEN WAS A PROBLEM.  SEXUAL 

IMMORALITY IN ALMOST ANY FORM WAS A DEATH PENALTY OFFENSE.  

GOD'S LAWS AND PRINCIPLES WORK WHETHER WE LIKE THEM OR 

NOT.  WHETHER WE AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT THEY DO WORK.  IT 

MAY SEEM MUCH TOO SEVERE BUT IT SURE DID WORK.  WHAT DO 

YOU THINK?



Deuteronomy 22:22   PG 276

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an 

husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man 

that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put 

away evil from Israel.

THERE WAS NOT MUCH ADULTERY IN ISRAEL.



Deuteronomy 22:23    PG 276

If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an 

husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;  

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that 

city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; 

the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; 

and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: 

so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS AND THE TEST OF ADULTERY 

FOUND IN NUM. 5:11-31?



Leviticus 18:6  PG 278

None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to 

him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I [am] the LORD.

INCEST IS A DEATH PENALTY OFFENSE.



Leviticus 18:22   PG 279

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it 

[is] abomination.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT AN ALTERNATE LIFESTYLE.  IT IS AN 

ABOMINATION TO GOD.



Leviticus 20:13   PG 279

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, 

both of them have committed an abomination: they shall 

surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

IN ISRAEL IF THE HOMOSEXUAL CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET THEY 

WOULD BE STONED TO DEATH.



Leviticus 18:24  PG 280

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in 

all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before 

you:

SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS WHY GOD DROVE OUT THE INHABITANTS OF 

THE PROMISED LAND.  ISRAEL WAS TO TOTALLY DESTROY THESE 

NATIONS WITH NO MERCY BECAUSE OF THE SEXUAL IMMORALITY OF 

THESE NATIONS.



Deuteronomy 22:5  PG 280

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, 

neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that 

do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?









MAR 3  LEV 13, 14 & 15  PG 280 - 285



Leviticus 13:45-46  PG 282

And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall 

be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering 

upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

All the days wherein the plague [shall be] in him he shall 

be defiled; he [is] unclean: he shall dwell alone; without 

the camp [shall] his habitation [be].

WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN TO HAVE LEPEROSY.  NO ONE COULD 

TOUCH YOU.  YOU HAD TO GO ARROUND SAYING UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN.  

LEPEROSY REPRESENTED SIN.  THIS DOES NOT SOUND VERY 

COMPASSIONATE.  SEE HOW JESUS TREATED LEPERS - Matthew 8:2 

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, 

saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

3) And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, 

saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy 

was cleansed.

4) And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go 

thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift 

that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Numbers 5:1-4  PG 285

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Command the 

children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every 

leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is 

defiled by the dead:  Both male and female shall ye put 

out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile 

not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.  And the 

children of Israel did so, and put them out without the 

camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of 

Israel.



Leviticus 15:31  PG 285

Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their 

uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when 

they defile my tabernacle that [is] among them.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?









MAR 4  LEV 7, 11, 17, & 20  PG 286 - 288



Leviticus 11:12  PG 286

Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that 

[shall be] an abomination unto you.

WHAT ABOUT CATFISH?  CLAMS?  SCALLOPS?



Leviticus 11:20-22  PG 286

All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an 

abomination unto you.  Yet these may ye eat of every 

flying creeping thing that goeth upon [all] four, which 

have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

[Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after his 

kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle 

after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

MANY WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS ALL OLD TESTAMENT INFORMATION 

WHICH HAS NO PLACE TODAY.  WHAT WOULD HAPPEN HOWEVER IF 

YOU WERE REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE THAT 666 BASED SCANNING 

SYMBOL TATTOOED ON YOUR FOREHEAD OR RIGHT WRIST IN ORDER 

TO BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL.  IF YOU KNEW WHAT INSECTS WERE 

EDIBLE MAYBE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO STARVE TO DEATH?  DUMB 

QUESTION.  RIGHT?  MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT 

SUCH HORRIBLE THINGS.  YOU ARE GOING TO BE RAPTURED BEFORE 

THAT SORT OF THING HAPPENS.  RIGHT?  WRONG!!!!!  BUT WE 

DON'T HAVE TO DISCUSS IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.  MOVE ON TO 

THE NEXT TOPIC VERSE 11:44.



Leviticus 11:44  PG 286

For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify 

yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither 

shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping 

thing that creepeth upon the earth.

SANCTIFICATION IS NEW TESTAMENT.  WHAT DOES SANCTIFICATION 

MEAN?  HOW DO WE BECOME SANCTIFIED?  CAN YOU BE COMPLETELY 

SANCTIFIED?



Leviticus 20:26  PG 287

And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD [am] holy, 

and have severed you from [other] people, that ye should 

be mine.

IS THIS PART OF NEW TESTAMENT DOCTRINE?  YES!  WE ARE 

STILL CALLED TO BE HOLY.  IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE HOLY CAN 

YOU BE PLURALISTIC?  NO!  IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE HOLY YOU 

ARE GOING TO BE NARROW MINDED.  YOU CAN AFFORD TO BE 

NARROW MINDED IF YOU ARE RIGHT.  WE ARE STILL CALLED TO BE 

DIFFERENT FROM THE MAJORITY.  THE MAJORITY DOESN'T WANT 

ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOLINESS.  WE ARE NOT CALLED TO BE 

OBNOXIOUS BUT WE ARE NOT TO BE INTIMIDATED.  WE ARE CALLED 

TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS EVEN IF WE ARE 

ALIENATED FROM THE WORLD AROUND US.  WE ARE THE SALT OF 

THE EARTH.  WE ARE CALLED TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF TRUTH TO 

THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE.





Leviticus 17:11 & 14  PR 288

For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have 

given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for 

your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an 

atonement for the soul.

:14) For [it is] the life of all flesh; the blood of it 

[is] for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the 

children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of 

flesh: for the life of all flesh [is] the blood thereof: 

whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.  JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, 

THE LIFE.  IT IS THE BLOOD OF JESUS WHICH HAS GIVEN US ALL 

THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE.









MAR 5  LEV 19, 20, & 25,  DEU 20 & 23, EX 22  PG 288 - 292



Leviticus 19:9-10  PG 288

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not 

wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou 

gather the gleanings of thy harvest.  And thou shalt not 

glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] 

grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor 

and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.

GOD NOT ONLY WILL BLESS US IF WE HAVE COMPASSION FOR THE 

POOR BUT HE REQUIRES THAT WE PROVIDE FOR THE POOR.  HOW 

SHOULD WE GO ABOUT THIS TODAY?



Deuteronomy 23:24-25  PG 289

When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou 

mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou 

shalt not put [any] in thy vessel.  When thou comest into 

the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck 

the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle 

unto thy neighbour's standing corn.

IT WAS OK TO SNACK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS CROPS BUT YOU WOULD 

BE STEALING TO TAKE MORE THAN A SNACK.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?



Leviticus 20:9 & Deuteronomy 21:18-21  PG 289

For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall 

be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his 

mother; his blood [shall be] upon him.

Deuteronomy 21:18 -21

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will 

not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his 

mother, and [that], when they have chastened him, will not 

hearken unto them:  Then shall his father and his mother 

lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his 

city, and unto the gate of his place;  And they shall say 

unto the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn 

and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a 

glutton, and a drunkard.  And all the men of his city 

shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou 

put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, 

and fear.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY WAS NO PROBLEM IN ISRAEL.  THIS MAY 

SOUND EXTREME AND CRUEL BUT THINK ABOUT IT.  CHILDREN NEED 

TRAINING AND DISCIPLINE.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEACH A CHILD 

TO LIE.  YOU HAVE TO TEACH THEM HOW TO TELL THE TRUTH.  

REBELLION IS A PART OF BASIC HUMAN NATURE.  WHY ARE SO 

MANY YOUNG PEOPLE MAKING A MESS OF THEIR LIVES IN OUR 

COUNTRY TODAY?  IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO DISCIPLINE IN 

THEIR LIVES AND THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE ARE NEVER 

TAUGHT.  THE GREATEST HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER I EVER KNEW SAID 

HE RETIRED FROM TEACHING BECAUSE "THE TEACHERS ARE AFRAID 

OF THE ADMINISTRATION, THE ADMINISTRATION IS AFRAID OF THE 

SCHOOL BOARD, THE SCHOOL BOARD IS AFRAID OF THE PARENTS, 

THE PARENTS ARE AFRAID OF THE CHILDREN AND THE CHILDREN 

ARE NOT AFRAID OF ANYBODY."  YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BEING RAISED 

WITHOUT DISCIPLINE AND DIRECTION.  THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT 

IF IT FEELS GOOD - DO IT.  THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT THAT THE 

WORLD OWES THEM A LIVING.  THEY ARE NOT BEING TAUGHT -

1) THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE,

2) THE BLESSINGS OF  HARD WORK,

3) RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY,

4) LOVE AND RESPECT FOR TRUTH,

5) LOVE, RESPECT AND FEAR OF GOD,

6) LOVE OF COUNTRY,

IN ISRAEL CURSING PARENTS WAS A DEATH PENALTY OFFENSE.  AS 

A RESULT, THERE SIMPLY WERE NOT ANY ARGUMENTS BETWEEN 

CHILDREN AND PARENTS.  IT MAY ONLY HAVE HAPPENED ONCE, BUT 

IT DID HAPPEN.  EVEN IF IT IS NOT RECORDED IN SCRIPTURE IT 

WAS TALKED ABOUT IN THE FAMILIES HOW SO AND SO WAS STONED 

TO DEATH 20 YEARS AGO BECAUSE HE HAD CURSED HIS PARENTS.  

THE CHILDREN THEMSELVES TALKED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SO 

AND SO.  PARENTS COULD IMMEDIATELY GET THE CHILD'S 

UNDIVIDED ATTENTION BY SIMPLY MENTIONING WHAT HAPPENED TO 

SO AND SO.  Deuteronomy 21:21 And all the men of his city 

shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou 

put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, 

and fear.  THE KEY HERE IS THAT ALL ISRAEL SHALL HEAR AND 

FEAR.  YOU CAN BE SURE IT DID NOT HAPPEN OFTEN.  IT IS AN 

ACT OF LOVE TO DISCIPLINE A CHILD.  IT IS HORRIBLE TO 

ABUSE A CHILD.  WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DISCIPLINE 

AND ABUSE?  DISCIPLINE IS PUNISHMENT THAT TRAINS, 

CORRECTS, AND MOLDS CHARACTER.  ABUSE IS DONE IN ANGER.  

ABUSE IS CORRUPT PUNISHMENT THAT IS UNJUST, VILIFIES, 

DAMAGES OR INJURES.  THERE IS GREAT CONFUSION IN OUR 

SOCIETY OVER THE MEANING OF DISCIPLINE AND ABUSE.  

CHILDREN IN ISRAEL KNEW THAT THEIR PARENTS HELD LIFE OR 

DEATH POWER OVER THEM AND THEREFORE WERE EASILY 

DISCIPLINED AND NOT PRONE TO REBELLION AND DISRESPECT.  

THE PARENTS NEVER HAD TO USE THAT POWER.  JUST THE FACT 

THAT THE CHILDREN KNEW THAT THEY HAD THAT POWER HELPED THE 

CHILDREN TO BE RESPECTFUL AND OBEDIENT.



Leviticus 19:32  Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, 

and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I 

[am] the LORD.

WE SHOULD HONOR AND RESPECT OUR ELDERS.



Exodus 22:22-24  PG 290

Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If 

thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto 

me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax 

hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives 

shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

IT IS GODLY TO BE KIND AND TENDERHEARTED TO WIDOWS AND 

ORPHANS.  GOD HIMSELF WILL AVENGE THOSE WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE 

OF WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.



Leviticus 19:17-19  PG 290

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt 

in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon 

him.  Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against 

the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy 

neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS CAN BE SEEN IN THE NUMBER OF NEW 

TESTAMENT REFERENCES TO THESE VERSES.

Matthew 5:43-45 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou 

shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say 

unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do 

good to them that hate you, and pray for them which 

despitefully use you, and persecute you;  That ye may be 

the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he 

maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and 

sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Matthew 22:37-40  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the 

Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind. This is the first and great 

commandment.  And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt 

love thy neighbour as thyself.  On these two commandments 

hang all the law and the prophets.

Romans 13:9-10  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, 

Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not 

bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there 

be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in 

this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as 

thyself.  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore 

love [is] the fulfilling of the law.

Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, 

[even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the 

scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do 

well:

LOVE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW.



Deuteronomy 20:3-4 AND 8 PG 291

And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this 

day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts 

faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye 

terrified because of them;  For the LORD your God [is] he 

that goeth with you, to fight for you against your 

enemies, to save you.

And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and 

they shall say, What man [is there that is] fearful and 

fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest 

his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.

IN PREPARING FOR BATTLE THE PRIESTS WOULD FIRST LET THE 

TROOPS KNOW THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID BECAUSE GOD WAS 

GOING TO GO WITH THEM AND FIGHT FOR THEM AND GIVE THEM THE 

VICTORY.  THEN THE GENERALS WOULD SEND VARIOUS GROUPS 

HOME.  THE GENERALS WOULD SEND HOME ANYONE WHO WAS 

FEARFUL.  IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU?  HOW 

DIFFERENT IT IS TODAY WHEN EVEN THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF 

DODGED THE DRAFT.  IT USED TO BE AN HONOR TO FIGHT FOR 

YOUR COUNTRY.









MAR 6  LEV 22 & 26  DEUT 31  PG 292 - 295



Leviticus 22:31-33  PG 292

Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I 

[am] the LORD.  Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but 

I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] 

the LORD which hallow you,  That brought you out of the 

land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD.

HOW DO WE PROFANE THE NAME OF GOD?  BY LETTING PEOPLE KNOW 

THAT WE ARE CHRISTIANS AND THEN NOT ACTING LIKE IT.  A 

CHRISTIAN WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTER TRAITS EVIDENT 

IN THEIR LIFE ...love, [joy], peace, longsuffering, 

gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:

Gal 5:22 JESUS IS EITHER LORD OF ALL OR NOT LORD AT ALL.



Deuteronomy 31:12  PG 293 Gather the people together, men, 

and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within 

thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, 

and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the 

words of this law:

EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW GOD'S WORD.  IT IS THE MOST 

IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE THAT WE CAN EVER HAVE.  IT IS FOR 

EVERYONE.



Leviticus 26:3,4,8,13  PG293

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and 

do them;

4) Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land 

shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall 

yield their fruit.

8) And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred 

of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies 

shall fall before you by the sword.

13) I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out 

of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; 

and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go 

upright.

THE BIG "IF" WORD IS ALWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BLESSINGS 

AND PROMISES OF GOD.  IF WE WILL OBEY WE WILL BE BLESSED.

5 SHALL CHASE 100 ... 100 SHALL PUT 10,000 TO FLIGHT.  GOD 

HAS FREED US FROM THE SLAVERY OF SIN AND WE MAY WALK WITH 

OUR HEADS HELD HIGH.



Leviticus 26:40-43  PG 294 - 295

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of 

their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed 

against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto 

me;  And [that] I also have walked contrary unto them, and 

have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then 

their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then 

accept of the punishment of their iniquity:  Then will I 

remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with 

Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; 

and I will remember the land.  The land also shall be left 

of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth 

desolate without them: and they shall accept of the 

punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they 

despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my 

statutes.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE BIBLE IN OUR COUNTRY?  IS THE 

BIBLE CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OF KNOWLEDGE OR 

IS IT DESPISED AND RIDICULED?  THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED 

AND DEVELOPED ON BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES.  JUDGMENT IS 

INEVITABLE UNLESS THE CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA HUMBLE 

THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, ... and seek my face, and turn from 

their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will 

forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 

7:14  HOW DO YOU SEEK GOD'S FACE?  READ THE BIBLE.  WHAT 

WILL CAUSE YOU TO TURN FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS?  READING THE 

BIBLE.









MAR 7  DEU 28, 29 & 30  PG 296 - 302



Deuteronomy 26:16 & 28:1-2  PG 296

This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these 

statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do 

them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken 

diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe 

[and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this 

day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all 

nations of the earth:

28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and 

overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the 

LORD thy God.

THE BLESSINGS COME IF WE WILL OBEY.  WILL WE OBEY?



Deuteronomy 28:7  PG 296

The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against 

thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out 

against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ENEMIES?  OBEY GOD AND WATCH THEM FLEE.



Deuteronomy 28:13  PG 297

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; 

and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be 

beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the 

LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe 

and to do [them]:

WILL YOU PAY ATTENTION TO DO WHAT GOD WANTS?  THEN YOU'LL 

BE THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL.



Deuteronomy 28:45-46  PG 298

Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall 

pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; 

because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD 

thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which 

he commanded thee:  And they shall be upon thee for a sign 

and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

IF YOU WILL NOT OBEY, THEN NOT ONLY WILL YOU NOT BE 

BLESSED, BUT YOU WILL BE CURSED AND DESTROYED.



Deuteronomy 29:2-6  PG 299

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye 

have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the 

land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and 

unto all his land;  The great temptations which thine eyes 

have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:  Yet the 

LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to 

see, and ears to hear, unto this day.  And I have led you 

forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen 

old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.

Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or 

strong drink: that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your 

God.  Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do 

them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

MOSES CALLED ALL ISRAEL.  YOU ALL SAW WHAT GOD DID TO 

PHARAOH.  YOU ALL SAW HIS GREAT POWER THROUGH THE MIRACLES 

WHICH HE PERFORMED.  IN THE SINAI DESERT 40 YEARS, HE FED 

YOU, YOUR CLOTHES DIDN'T EVEN WEAR OUT IN 40 YEARS.  YET 

YOU STILL WILL NOT OBEY.  WE HAD BETTER NOT SHAKE OUR 

HEADS AT THE ISRAELITES BECAUSE WE DO THE SAME THING.  WE 

HAVE MUCH MORE UPON WHICH TO BASE OUR FAITH AND OBEDIENCE.  

WE HAVE ALL 66 BOOKS OF SCRIPTURE NOT JUST THE 5 THEY HAD.  

MUCH MUCH MORE THAN THAT WE HAVE JESUS WHO HAS BAPTIZED US 

WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THEY PERHAPS COULD FIND EXCUSES FOR 

THEIR LACK OF FAITH AND DISOBEDIENCE.  BUT THERE IS NO WAY 

WE COULD HAVE EXCUSES FOR OUR DISOBEDIENCE.



Deuteronomy 29:19-21  PG 299

And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this 

curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall 

have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine 

heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:  The LORD will not 

spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy 

shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are 

written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD 

shall blot out his name from under heaven.  And the LORD 

shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of 

Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that 

are written in this book of the law:

SO THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T BELIEVE THAT 

DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S COMMANDS IS GOING TO MAKE ANY 

DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIFE.  THERE ARE EVEN CHRISTIANS WHO 

ARE CONVINCED THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE IN SIN BECAUSE GOD IS 

LOVE.  THERE ARE EVEN PROFESSING CHRISTIANS WHO ARE DRUNK, 

INTO PROMISCUOUS SEX, AND OTHER HABITUAL SINS WHO SAY IN 

THEIR HEARTS ITS OK.  GOD LOVES ME.  WE SEE HERE THAT IT 

IS NOT OK.  THEY WILL NOT HAVE PEACE.  IT MAKES GOD ANGRY.  

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE SERIOUS THAN TO HAVE GOD ANGRY 

WITH YOU?



Deuteronomy 29:29   PG 300

The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but 

those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to 

our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of 

this law.

GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING.  THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT HE KEEPS 

TO HIMSELF.  EVEN IF WE ARE THE MOST BRILLIANT SCHOLAR IN 

THE WORLD IT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO GOD'S KNOWLEDGE.  

THERE ARE MANY THINGS WHICH GOD KEEPS SECRET FROM US FOR 

OUR OWN GOOD.  BUT HE HAS GIVEN US ALL THE NECESSARY AND 

IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE THAT WE NEED IN HIS WORD, THE BIBLE.



Deuteronomy 30:10-20  PG 301

If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, 

to keep his commandments and his statutes which are 

written in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto 

the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy 

soul.  For this commandment which I command thee this day, 

it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.  It 

[is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go 

up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may 

hear it, and do it?  Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that 

thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and 

bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?   But 

the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in 

thy heart, that thou mayest do it.  See, I have set before 

thee this day life and good, and death and evil;  In that 

I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk 

in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes 

and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and 

the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou 

goest to possess it.  I call heaven and earth to record 

this day against you, [that] I have set before you life 

and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, 

that both thou and thy seed may live:  That thou mayest 

love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his 

voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] 

thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest 

dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, 

to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

WHAT A GREAT COMMENTARY ON THE WORD OF GOD.  LIFE AND 

DEATH IS SET BEFORE US.  BLESSING OR CURSES OF GOD.  IF 

YOU WANT A FULL AND PROSPEROUS LIFE THAT GOES ON INTO 

ETERNITY GET TO KNOW GOD'S WORD AND - JUST DO IT!  IT IS 

NOT FAR AWAY.  IT IS NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND.  OFTEN IT IS 

EXACTLY OPPOSITE WHAT YOU WOULD NATURALLY WANT TO DO.  IT 

MAY NOT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.  BUT 

JUST DO IT.  AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED.  NEGLECT IT OR DON'T 

DO IT AND YOU WILL BE CURSED.









MAR 8  DEUT 31 & 32  PG 303 - 308



Deuteronomy 31:6  PG 303

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid 

of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go 

with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

CHRISTIANS IT IS TIME TO BE STRONG!  BE COURAGEOUS!  FEAR 

NOT!  IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU?



Deuteronomy 31:16-18  PG 304

And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep 

with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a 

whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, 

whither they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, 

and break my covenant which I have made with them.  Then 

my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I 

will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and 

they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall 

befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not 

these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among 

us?  And I will surely hide my face in that day for all 

the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are 

turned unto other gods.

GOD KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.  HE CAN SEE THE 

FUTURE BETTER THAN WE CAN SEE THE PAST OR THE PRESENT.  HE 

KNEW ISRAEL WOULD BREAK THE COVENANT.  HE KNEW THE 

HORRIBLE TROUBLE THEY WOULD GET INTO.  THAT IS WHY HE 

WAITED UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR MOSES TO DIE TO SO CLEARLY 

TELL HIM THIS.  MOSES WAS A GREAT LEADER BUT GOD HAD 

SOMETHING BETTER FOR HIM.  HE WOULD GO TO FELLOWSHIP WITH 

ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB, AND ALL THE OTHER FAITHFUL 

DEPARTED.  NONE OF THEM COULD ENTER HEAVEN YET.  JESUS HAD 

NOT PAID THE PRICE OF ADMISSION FOR THEM YET.  WE KNOW 

THIS FROM WHAT JESUS TOLD ABOUT THE BEGGAR AND LAZARUS. 

Luke 16:19-31 There was a [certain rich] man,..... Luke 

16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus,... 

JESUS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THIS WAS NOT A PARABLE BUT A 

TRUE CONDITION WHICH WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND.  IT IS 

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH IN LUKE 16:19-31.  GOD 

WAS COMFORTING MOSES AND LETTING HIM KNOW IT WASN'T THE 

BEST FOR HIM TO GO INTO THE PROMISED LAND WITH THE ARMIES 

OF ISRAEL.  HE WAS LETTING MOSES KNOW THERE WAS NO 

STOPPING THE REBELLIOUS MESSES THAT THE ISRAELITES WERE 

GOING TO GET INTO.



Deuteronomy 32:3-6  PG 304

Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye 

greatness unto our God.  [He is] the Rock, his work [is] 

perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth 

and without iniquity, just and right [is] he.  They have 

corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of 

his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked 

generation.  Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people 

and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought 

thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

MOSES PUTS A SUMMARY OF GOD'S WORD INTO SONG FOR ISRAEL 

BEFORE HE LEAVES THEM.  HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING HE POSSIBLY 

COULD TO HELP THEM BE OBEDIENT.  THE SONG HE HOPED WOULD 

HELP THEM TO STAY LONGER ON THE PATH OF FAITH AND 

OBEDIENCE.



Deuteronomy 32:28-31  PG 306 & 307

For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there 

any] understanding in them.  O that they were wise, [that] 

they understood this, [that] they would consider their 

latter end!  How should one chase a thousand, and two put 

ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, 

and the LORD had shut them up?  For their rock [is] not as 

our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges.

MOSES' SONG UNFORTUNATELY WAS NOT A BEST SELLER.  BUT IT 

WAS TRUE.  HE COULD HAVE JUST TOLD THEM ABOUT GOD'S 

BLESSINGS.  BUT HE TOLD THEM THE WHOLE TRUTH.  GOD'S WORD 

IS FULL OF SUCH GREAT, BLESSED, WONDERFUL TRUTH.  IT IS 

ALSO HAS A GREAT DEAL OF HARD TRUTH WHICH WILL VERY SELDOM 

BE HERD IN THE LAST DAYS WHEN PEOPLE WILL HEAP TO 

THEMSELVES TEACHERS HAVING ITCHING EARS.  MOSES WAS NOT 

TICKLING THEIR EARS.  HE WAS GIVING THEM THE WHOLE TRUTH.  

WE NEED TO PRAY THAT OUR PASTORS, TEACHERS, AND PREACHERS 

WILL HAVE THE COURAGE TO TELL US THE WHOLE TRUTH; AND, NOT 

JUST TICKLE OUR EARS WITH WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR.  SOMETIMES 

WE NEED TO HAVE OUR EARS SLAPPED HARD.  IT IS NOT A 

PLEASANT JOB FOR A LOVING PREACHER.



Deuteronomy 32:46-47  PG 308

And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words 

which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command 

your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is] your 

life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days 

in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

IT IS LIFE AND DEATH - ETERNAL LIFE OR THE SECOND DEATH.  

OUR CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH.









MAR 9  DEUT. 33 & 34  PG 308 - 312



Deuteronomy 33:27   PG 310

The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the 

everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from 

before thee; and shall say, Destroy [them].

EVERLASTING ARMS!  WHAT A NEAT THOUGHT AND INSPIRATION FOR 

A GREAT HYMN.  GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND OUR STRENGTH.



Deuteronomy 33:29   PG 310

Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like unto thee, O 

people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who 

[is] the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall 

be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their 

high places.

MOSES SIGNS OFF TO ISRAEL WITH BLESSINGS FOR EACH OF THE 

TRIBES.  BUT HE HAS NOT FAILED TO TELL THEM THE FULL AND 

EVEN VERY UNPLEASANT TRUTH OF THEIR FUTURE WHEN THEY LEAVE 

THE PATH OF FAITH AND OBEDIENCE.



Deuteronomy 34:5-7  PG 311

So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of 

Moab, according to the word of the LORD.  And he buried 

him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against 

Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this 

day.  And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when 

he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force 

abated.

MOSES DIED A STRONG MAN AT THE AGE OF 120.  HE HAD DONE A 

GREAT JOB.  APPARENTLY IT WAS GOD WHO TOOK CHARGE OF 

MOSES' BURIAL.  GOD SENT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL TO FIGHT 

THE DEVIL WHO PROBABLY WAS SOMEHOW GOING TO OTHERWISE 

DESECRATE MOSES' BODY, AND MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL BURIED 

MOSES. Jude 1:9 Yet [Michael] the archangel, when 

contending with the devil he disputed about the body of 

Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, 

but said, The Lord rebuke thee.









MAR 10  JOSH. 1:1 - 5:15   PG 312 - 317



Joshua 1:5-9  PG 312

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all 

the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be 

with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.  Be 

strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt 

thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware 

unto their fathers to give them.  Only be thou strong and 

very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according 

to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: 

turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, 

that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.  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.  Have not I commanded 

thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, 

neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with 

thee whithersoever thou goest.

GOD PROMISES TO BE WITH JOSHUA AS HE WAS WITH MOSES.  OVER 

AND OVER GOD TELLS HIS PEOPLE TO BE STRONG AND BE 

COURAGEOUS.  (8 TIMES IN DEUT AND JOSH)  IF GOD IS WITH 

YOU WHY SHOULD YOU FEAR?  GOD WANTS US TO BE STRONG AND 

COURAGEOUS.  THE DEVIL WANTS US TO FEAR.  IT IS A CHOICE.  

LET US BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS.



Joshua 2:9-13  PG 313

And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given 

you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and 

that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the 

Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye 

did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the 

other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly 

destroyed.  And as soon as we had heard [these things], 

our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more 

courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, 

he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.  Now 

therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I 

have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness 

unto my father's house, and give me a true token:  And 

[that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my 

brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and 

deliver our lives from death.

RAHAB WAS KING DAVID'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER.  SHE RISKED HER 

LIFE TO HIDE THE 2 ISRAELITES THAT JOSHUA HAD SENT TO SPY 

OUT THE LAND.  BECAUSE OF THE RISK SHE HAD TAKEN THE MEN 

PROMISED TO SPARE HER FAMILY WHEN ISRAEL INVADED JERICHO.



Joshua 3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the 

soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the 

LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters 

of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off 

[from] the waters that come down from above; and they 

shall stand upon an heap.

ALL OF THE WARRIORS THAT JOSHUA WAS LEADING HAD HEARD HOW 

GOD HAD PARTED THE WATERS OF THE RED SEA SO THAT MOSES 

COULD LEAD ISRAEL ACROSS AND DESTROY PHARAOH'S ARMY.  NOW 

GOD IS LIFTING UP JOSHUA IN THE SIGHT OF ISRAEL BY 

STOPPING THE FLOW OF THE JORDAN RIVER.  GOD IS HONORING 

JOSHUA AS THEIR LEADER JUST AS GOD HAD HONORED MOSES 

BEFORE HIM.



Joshua 3:15-17  PG 315

And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and 

the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in 

the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his 

banks all the time of harvest,)  That the waters which 

came down from above stood [and] rose up upon an heap very 

far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and 

those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] 

the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people 

passed over right against Jericho.  And the priests that 

bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry 

ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites 

passed over on dry ground, until all the people were 

passed clean over Jordan.

GOD CONFIRMS JOSHUA'S LEADERSHIP OF ISRAEL WITH THE SAME 

TYPE OF MIRACLE THAT HE HAD DONE THROUGH MOSES.



Joshua 4:21-24  PG 316

And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When 

your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, 

saying, What [mean] these stones?  Then ye shall let your 

children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry 

land.  For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan 

from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD 

your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before 

us, until we were gone over:  That all the people of the 

earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it [is] 

mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

PARENTS ARE COMMANDED TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN OF GOD'S 

MIGHTY POWER.  CHILDREN MUST BE TAUGHT THE FEAR OF THE 

LORD WHICH IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM. Psalms 111:10 The 

fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom:

Proverbs 1:7  The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of    

knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.  

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of 

wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.





Joshua 5:3-5  PG 316

And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the 

children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the 

people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] 

all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, 

after they came out of Egypt.  Now all the people that 

came out were circumcised: but all the people [that were] 

born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out 

of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.

IT IS NOT TOLD WHY THIS PART OF THE COVENANT HAD BEEN 

NEGLECTED WHILE ISRAEL WAS WONDERING IN THE DESERT.  AT 

ANY RATE THE MEN OF ISRAEL WERE UNCIRCUMCISED AND JOSHUA 

MADE SURE THIS WAS DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY CROSSED THE 

JORDAN.  DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THE BABY BOYS BORN IN THE 

DESERT WERE NOT CIRCUMCISED WHEN THEY WERE 8 DAYS OLD IN 

THE DESERT?



Joshua 5:12   PG 317

And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of 

the old corn of the land; neither had the children of 

Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of 

the land of Canaan that year.

GOD FED THEM MANA WHEN THEY COULD NOT FEED THEMSELVES WHEN 

THEY WERE IN THE DESERT.  AS SOON AS THEY WERE IN THE 

PROMISED LAND AND CAPABLE OF GROWING CROPS THE MANA 

STOPPED.



Joshua 5:13-15  PG 317

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he 

lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a 

man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and 

Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for 

us, or for our adversaries?  And he said, Nay; but [as] 

captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua 

fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said 

unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?  And the 

captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy 

shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou 

standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so.

WHO IS THIS CAPTAIN OF THE HOST OF THE LORD?  IT IS JESUS.  

NO ANGEL WOULD EVER ACCEPT WORSHIP.  THAT WAS SATAN'S 

ORIGINAL SIN - THAT HE WANTED TO BE WORSHIPED.  JESUS 

ALWAYS ACCEPTED WORSHIP AS HIS DUE.  BUT, NO ANGEL WOULD 

EVER ACCEPT WORSHIP.









MAR 11  JOSH. 6:, 7:, & 8:   PG  317 - 322



Joshua 6:2-5  PG 317

And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into 

thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty 

men of valour.  And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] 

men of war, [and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt 

thou do six days.  And seven priests shall bear before the 

ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye 

shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall 

blow with the trumpets.  And it shall come to pass, that 

when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] 

when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people 

shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city 

shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every 

man straight before him.

THIS BATTLE PLAN WOULD NOT COMPUTE TO THE NATURAL MIND.  

THERE WERE PEOPLE ON TOP OF THE WALLS TO THROW STUFF DOWN 

ON ANYONE WHO CAME CLOSE TO THE WALLS.  GOD WAS TESTING 

THE WILLINGNESS OF THE PEOPLE TO FOLLOW JOSHUA'S ORDERS.



Joshua 6:15-21  PG 318

And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose 

early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city 

after the same manner seven times: only on that day they 

compassed the city seven times.  And it came to pass at 

the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, 

Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath 

given you the city.  And the city shall be accursed, 

[even] it, and all that [are] therein, to the LORD: only 

Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that [are] with 

her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we 

sent.  And ye, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the 

accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, when 

ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel 

a curse, and trouble it.  But all the silver, and gold, 

and vessels of brass and iron, [are] consecrated unto the 

LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.  So 

the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the 

trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the 

sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great 

shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people 

went up into the city, every man straight before him, and 

they took the city.  And they utterly destroyed all that 

[was] in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and 

ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

GOD CAUSED THE WALLS OF JERICHO TO FALL DOWN.  THE ISRAELI 

ARMY KILLED EVERYTHING THAT MOVED EXCEPT FOR RAHAB AND HER 

FAMILY.  ALL THE SILVER, GOLD, BRONZE AND IRON WAS TO BE 

PUT INTO THE TEMPLE TREASURY.



Joshua 6:25  PG 318

And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's 

household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in 

Israel [even] unto this day; because she hid the 

messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

RAHAB AND HER FAMILY WERE THE ONLY SURVIVORS WHEN THE 

WALLS OF JERICHO CAME TUMBLING DOWN.  RAHAB IS MENTIONED 

IN THE GENEOLOGY GIVEN IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 1.  SHE WAS KING 

DAVID'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER.



Joshua 7:1   PG 319

But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the 

accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of 

Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of 

the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled 

against the children of Israel.

ALTHOUGH THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY WARNED NOT TO TAKE 

ANYTHING OUT OF THE CITY OF JERICHO, ACHAN TOOK SILVER, A 

BABYLONIAN ROBE, AND A WEDGE OF GOLD.  WHO CAN HIDE 

ANYTHING FROM GOD?  THIS ANGERED GOD.  WHEN THE MEN OF 

ISRAEL WENT UP AGAINST AI THEY WERE ROUTED AND 36 

ISRAELITES WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF ACHAN'S SIN.



Joshua 7:6-13  PG 319

And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon 

his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he 

and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at 

all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into 

the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we 

had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs 

before their enemies!  For the Canaanites and all the 

inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], and shall 

environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and 

what wilt thou do unto thy great name?  And the LORD said 

unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon 

thy face?  Israel hath sinned, and they have also 

transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they 

have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also 

stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even 

among their own stuff.  Therefore the children of Israel 

could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] 

backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: 

neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the 

accursed from among you.  Up, sanctify the people, and 

say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith 

the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in 

the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before 

thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from 

among you.

IT SOUNDS LIKE JOSHUA IS WHINING IN HIS PRAYER UNTIL HE 

ASKS GOD - WHAT WILL YOU DO UNTO YOUR GREAT NAME GOD?  THE 

LORD TELLS JOSHUA TO GET UP AND GRIT UP HIS GUT.  GOD 

TELLS HIM THAT ISRAEL HAS SINNED BY TAKING THINGS FROM 

JERICHO THAT WERE DEVOTED TO THE TEMPLE TREASURY OF THE 

LORD.  IT IS NOT SMART TO STEAL FROM THE LORD.  THAT IS 

WHY IT IS SMART TO TITHE.  GOD WILL NOT BE WITH ISRAEL 

UNTIL THE ACCURSED PERSON WHO WOULD ROB FROM THE TEMPLE 

TREASURY OF THE LORD IS PURGED.



Joshua 8:1-8  PG 320

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou 

dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, 

go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of 

Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land: And thou 

shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and 

her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, 

shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an 

ambush for the city behind it.  So Joshua arose, and all 

the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose 

out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them 

away by night.  And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye 

shall lie in wait against the city, [even] behind the 

city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:  

And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will 

approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when 

they come out against us, as at the first, that we will 

flee before them, (For they will come out after us) till 

we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They 

flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee 

before them.  Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and 

seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it 

into your hand.  And it shall be, when ye have taken the 

city, [that] ye shall set the city on fire: according to 

the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have 

commanded you.

AS CRAZY AS THE FIRST BATTLE STRATEGY AGAINST JERICHO 

SOUNDS WE HAVE HERE JUST THE OPPOSITE.  THIS IS BRILLIANT 

MILITARY STRATEGY.  GOD CAN TURN A HUMILIATING DEFEAT INTO 

A STUNNING VICTORY.  IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO TURN IN 

REPENTANCE AND SEE GOD BRING BEAUTY FROM THE ASHES OF 

DEFEAT.  THE DETAIL ACCOUNT OF THE VICTORY IS FOUND ON PG 

321 IN Joshua 8:18-23.



Joshua 8:30-32  PG 321

Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in 

mount Ebal,  As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded 

the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of 

the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no 

man hath lift up [any] iron: and they offered thereon 

burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace 

offerings.  And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of 

the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the 

children of Israel.

JOSHUA KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WHEN GOD HAD GIVEN THEM THE 

VICTORY.  HE MAKES AN ALTAR AND GIVES THANKSGIVING BURNT 

OFFERINGS AND PEACE OFFERINGS TO GOD ON THE ALTAR.







Joshua 8:34-35 PG 322

And afterward he read all the words of the law, the 

blessings and cursings, according to all that is written 

in the book of the law.  There was not a word of all that 

Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the 

congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little 

ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.

AFTER THE SACRIFICES WERE MADE AND JOSHUA WROTE THE 

COMMANDMENTS ON THE STONES OF THE ALTAR, HE CALLED ALL 

ISRAEL TOGETHER INCLUDING THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND 

EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THE WHOLE COMPANY OF ISRAEL TO HEAR  

ALL THE WORDS OF THE LAW.  UNLIKE MOST PREACHERS TODAY HE 

DID NOT JUST TELL THEM THE BLESSINGS BUT GAVE THEM THE 

BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS.  TODAY WE HAVE NOT HEARD THE 

CURSINGS IN SO LONG, IT IS WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO HEAR BUT 

WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR.  EVEN IF WE ASKED OUR PREACHERS TO 

TELL US THE CURSINGS MOST PROBABLY WOULD NOT DO IT.  THIS 

IS WHY YOU NEED TO READ THE WHOLE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.









MAR 12  JOSH 9:, 10:, 11:, & 12  PG 322 - 328



Joshua 9:14-15  PG 323

And the men took of their victuals, and asked not 

[counsel] at the mouth of the LORD.  And Joshua made peace 

with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: 

and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.

HERE IS A CURIOUS SITUATION.  THE MEN OF GIBEON TRICKED 

JOSHUA.  JOSHUA WAS A TREMENDOUS MILITARY LEADER YET HOW 

EASILY HE FELL FOR THE TRICK OF THE GIBEONITES SHOWS HIS 

COMPASSION FOR THE POOR AND THE ALIEN.  IT SHOWS HOW HE 

HAS TAKEN THE LAW OF GOD TO HIS HEART.  HIS UNDERSTANDING 

OF THE PROPER TREATMENT OF THE POOR AND THE SOJOURNER 

ALLOWED HIM TO BE TRICKED.  YES HE SHOULD HAVE CONSULTED 

THE LORD YET THE MEN OF GIBEON WERE ASKING FOR MERCY FROM 

THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGMENT.  THE 

GIBEONITES WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT CAN YOU THINK OF ANY 

OTHER WAY THEY COULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO LIVE ALBEIT AS 

SLAVES.  IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS WORKS OUT 

IN THE LONG RUN OF THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL.



Joshua 9:18-27  PG 323

And the children of Israel smote them not, because the 

princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the 

LORD God of Israel.  And all the congregation murmured 

against the princes.  But all the princes said unto all 

the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God 

of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.  This we 

will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be 

upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.  

And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let 

them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the 

congregation; as the princes had promised them.  And 

Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, 

Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We [are] very far 

from you; when ye dwell among us?   Now therefore ye [are] 

cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being 

bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the 

house of my God.  Joshua 9:24 And they answered Joshua, 

and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how 

that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give 

you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of 

the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of 

our lives because of you, and have done this thing.  And 

now, behold, we [are] in thine hand: as it seemeth good 

and right unto thee to do unto us, do.  And so did he unto 

them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children 

of Israel, that they slew them not.  And Joshua made them 

that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the 

congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto 

this day, in the place which he should choose.

IN VERSE 9:24 THEY GAVE JOSHUA THE ONLY RIGHT ANSWER.  

THEY FEARED THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND KNEW THAT THEIR ONLY 

HOPE OF SURVIVAL WAS TO APPEAL FOR MERCY FROM THE LEADER 

WHICH THE GOD OF ISRAEL HAD APPOINTED.  IF JOSHUA WERE 

RUTHLESS HE WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM.  HE WAS MERCIFUL.  

THESE PEOPLE FEARED HIS GOD AND SOUGHT MERCY. "I AM IN 

YOUR HANDS DO AS YOU WILL WITH ME."  THIS IS THE CORRECT 

RESPONSE TO GOD BY ANY ONE AT ANY TIME.  GOD IS INFINITELY 

MERCIFUL.  I AM LIVING PROOF OF HIS INFINITE MERCY.



Joshua 10:6-8  PG 324

And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to 

Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come 

up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the 

kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are 

gathered together against us.  So Joshua ascended from 

Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all 

the mighty men of valour.  And the LORD said unto Joshua, 

Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; 

there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

OVER AND OVER WE HERE THE WORDS - FEAR NOT - BE STRONG & 

BE COURAGEOUS - IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU?

LOOK HOW GOD FIGHTS FOR ISRAEL.



Joshua 10:11  PG 324

And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, 

[and] were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD 

cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, 

and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones 

than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the 

sword.

MORE OF THE AMORITES DIED OF THE GREAT HAILSTONES THAT THE 

LORD CAST DOWN UPON THEM THAN ISRAEL SLEW WITH THE SWORD.



Joshua 10:13-14  PG 324

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the 

people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not 

this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still 

in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a 

whole day.  And there was no day like that before it or 

after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: 

for the LORD fought for Israel.

JOSHUA WAS HAVING A LITERAL FIELD DAY.  HE WANTED TO 

FINISH THE JOB BEFORE DARK.  HE PRAYED AND ASKED GOD TO 

MAKE THE SUN STAND STILL, AND IT DID FOR ALMOST A FULL 

DAY.  I HAVE KNOWN A NUMBER OF ENGINEERS WHO HAVE WORKED 

ON VARIOUS SPACE PROGRAMS.  MORE THAN ONE HAS TOLD ME THAT 

THE EQUATIONS FOR CELESTIAL NAVIGATION DON'T QUITE COME 

OUT EXACTLY UNLESS YOU ADD ABOUT 24 HOURS TO THE EQUATION 

IN ABOUT 1450BC.  YOU ALSO HAVE TO ADD ANOTHER 40 MINUTES 

ABOUT 710BC TO BE PRECISE.  THEN ALL THE PLANETS AND ALL 

THE STARS ARE EXACTLY WHERE THEY MAY BE CALCULATED TO BE.  

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE OTHER 40 MINUTES CAME FROM 

ABOUT 700BC?  HEZAKAIAH'S SIGN  IN Isaiah 38:8 Behold, I 

will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone 

down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the 

sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone 

down.



Joshua 10:25  PG 325

And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be 

strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to 

all your enemies against whom ye fight.

WE CAN NOT HEAR TOO MUCH OF THIS MESSAGE. FEAR NOT - BE 

STRONG - BE COURAGEOUS - IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE 

AGAINST YOU.  YOU CAN CHOOSE FAITH AND BE RID OF YOUR 

FEARS.  WILL WE CHOOSE TO BELIEVE GOD?



Joshua 11:6  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid 

because of them: for to morrow about this time will I 

deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough 

their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

Joshua 11:9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: 

he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with 

fire.

WHY DESTROY THE HORSES?  THESE WERE THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF 

WARFARE OF THIS ERA.  ISRAEL WAS TO TRUST ONLY IN THE 

LORD. DAVID SAYS IT BEST IN Psalms 20:7 Some [trust] in 

chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the 

name of the LORD our God. 



Joshua 11:12 PG 326

And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of 

them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the 

sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the 

servant of the LORD commanded.



Joshua 11:14-15  PG 326

And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the 

children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but 

every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until 

they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses 

command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone 

of all that the LORD commanded Moses.

JOSHUA DID ALL THAT WAS COMMANDED BY THE LORD.  ALL THE 

NATIONS BUT THE GIBEONITES WERE UTTERLY DESTROYED.  WHY 

DID THEY ALL HAVE TO BE DESTROYED?  SEE VERSE 11:20



Joshua 11:20  PG 326

For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they 

should come against Israel in battle, that he might 

destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no 

favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD 

commanded Moses.



Joshua 11:23   PG 327 So Joshua took the whole land, 

according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua 

gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their 

divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war. 









MAR 13  JOSH. 13:1-17:18  PG  328 - 333



Joshua 13:1   PG 328

Now Joshua was old [and] stricken in years; and the LORD 

said unto him, Thou art old [and] stricken in years, and 

there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

JOSHUA WAS OLD BUT HE WAS STILL STRONG AND A GREAT LEADER 

ALWAYS OBEDIENT TO GOD.



Joshua 13:6  PG 328

All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto 

Misrephoth-maim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I 

drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide 

thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as 

I have commanded thee.

THE LORD KNEW WHOM HE WANTED WHERE.  HE WOULD CONTROL THE 

LOTS SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO BICKERING AND EVERYONE 

WOULD BE WHERE GOD KNEW IT WOULD BE BEST FOR THEM TO BE.  

GOD WANTS FOR US EXACTLY WHAT WE WOULD WANT FOR OURSELVES 

IF ONLY WE HAD SENSE ENOUGH TO KNOW IT.



Joshua 13:22  PG 329

Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the 

children of Israel slay with the sword among them that 

were slain by them.

ACCORDING TO THIS VERSE MR. SMITH WAS RIGHT WHEN HE HAD 

TOLD US THAT BALAAM WAS NOT A GOOD PROPHET GONE BAD OVER 

THE LOVE OF MONEY.  THIS VERSE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT BALAAM 

WAS A SOOTHSAYER WHO PRACTICED THE FORBIDDEN BLACK MAGIC 

OF DIVINATION WHO WAS USED BRIEFLY BY GOD TO BLESS ISRAEL.



Joshua 13:33   PG 330

But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] 

inheritance: the LORD God of Israel [was] their 

inheritance, as he said unto them.

WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT?  WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU NEED?



Joshua 14:8-9 & 12  PG 331

Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the 

heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD 

my God.  And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the 

land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine 

inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou 

hast wholly followed the LORD my God.

 14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the 

LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how 

the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] 

great [and] fenced: if so be the LORD [will be] with me, 

then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

JOSHUA AND CALEB GO WAY BACK.  THEY ARE THE ONLY 2 MEN OF 

THE ENTIRE NATION OF OVER A MILLION WHO MADE IT THROUGH 

THE 40 YEARS IN THE DESERT TO ENTER THE PROMISED LAND.  

YOU LOOKING FOR THE SECRET OF A LONG, SUCCESSFUL, AND 

FULFILLED LIFE - WHOLLY FOLLOW THE LORD YOUR GOD!!!  NO 

WAY WOULD JOSHUA NOT GIVE TO CALEB THE PORTION OF THE 

PROMISED LAND WHICH HIS HEART DESIRED.  JOSHUA KNEW IT 

WOULD BE GOD'S WILL TO GIVE CALEB HIS HEARTS DESIRE.  NO 

LOT CASTING WOULD BE REQUIRED HERE. Psalms 37:4 Delight 

thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the 

desires of thine heart.









MAR 14  JOSH. 18:1 - 21:45  PG  333 - 338



Joshua 21:43  And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land 

which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they 

possessed it, and dwelt therein.



Joshua 21:44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, 

according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and 

there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; 

the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.



Joshua 21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing 

which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all 

came to pass.



GOD KEEPS ALL HIS PROMISES.  DO WE?









MAR 15  JOSH. 22:1 - 24:28  PG  338 - 343



Joshua 22:5-6   PG 339

But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, 

which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love 

the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to 

keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to 

serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went 

unto their tents.

WILL WE DILIGENTLY PAY ATTENTION TO GOD'S WAY OF DOING 

THINGS?  HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR NATURAL WAYS.  WILL I SERVE 

GOD WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.  IF JESUS CHRIST IS NOT 

THE SON OF GOD NOTHING MATTERS, BUT IF HE IS NOTHING ELSE 

MATTERS.  JESUS IS EITHER LORD OF ALL OR NOT LORD AT ALL.



Joshua 22:33-34  PG 340

And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the 

children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go 

up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the 

children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.  And the children of 

Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: for 

it [shall be] a witness between us that the LORD [is] God.

IT APPEARS ISRAEL FINALLY HAS GOT IT.  IT LOOKS LIKE THEY 

ARE READY TO FINALLY FOLLOW THE LORD WITH ALL THEIR HEART.  

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IS THAT THE TRIBES WEST OF JORDAN 

ARE READY TO GO TO WAR WITH THE TRIBES EAST OF THE JORDAN 

BECAUSE OF THE EASTERN TRIBES BUILDING AN ALTAR LIKE THE 

ALTER AT THE TABERNACLE.  THE DEAL IS THAT THE EASTERN 

TRIBES BUILT THE ALTAR NOT FOR MAKING SACRIFICES BUT AS A 

WITNESS BETWEEN THE EASTERN AND WESTERN TRIBES THAT THE 

EASTERN TRIBES WERE AS MUCH A PART OF ISRAEL AS THE 

WESTERN TRIBES AND THAT THE JORDAN RIVER WOULD NOT BE 

CAUSE OF SEPARATION IN FUTURE GENERATIONS.



Joshua 23:3 & 5   PG 340 & 341

And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto 

all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God 

[is] he that hath fought for you.

 23:5 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from 

before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye 

shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath 

promised unto you.

JOSHUA KNOWS THAT HE WILL SOON DIE.  HE TRIES HIS BEST TO 

ENCOURAGE ISRAEL TO BE TOTALLY OBEDIENT TO GOD.  HE 

REMINDS THEM THAT GOD IS FIGHTING FOR THEM AND THEY CAN'T 

LOOSE IN BATTLE IF GOD IS ON THEIR SIDE.  GOD'S SIDE IS 

ALWAYS THE WINNER.  YOU HAVE SEEN GOD'S POWER FOR 

YOURSELF.  GOD HAD PROMISED THE LAND TO THEM.  THERE IS NO 

REASON FOR THEM NOT TO FINISH THE JOB.



Joshua 23:6-11  PG 341

Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that 

is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn 

not aside therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left;

That ye come not among these nations, these that remain 

among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, 

nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow 

yourselves unto them:  But cleave unto the LORD your God, 

as ye have done unto this day.  For the LORD hath driven 

out from before you great nations and strong: but [as for] 

you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this 

day.  One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD 

your God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath 

promised you.  Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, 

that ye love the LORD your God.

WHAT IF WE SEE THE DAY WHEN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST IS 

PERSECUTED AS IT HAS BEEN FOR FIFTY YEARS BEHIND THE IRON 

CURTAIN.  WILL WE BE COURAGEOUS?  WILL WE BE SUCKED IN TO 

THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT?  WILL WE GO ALONG WITH THE 

ANTICHRIST GLOBAL WORLD GOVERNMENT SYSTEM?  THIS MAY BE 

WHERE WE SEE WHO REALLY LOVES GOD AND WHO JUST LOVES 

PLAYING CHURCH?



Joshua 23:14-16  PG 341

And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the 

earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your 

souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good 

things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all 

are come to pass unto you, [and] not one thing hath failed 

thereof.  Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all 

good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God 

promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil 

things, until he have destroyed you from off this good 

land which the LORD your God hath given you.  When ye have 

transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he 

commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and 

bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD 

be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from 

off the good land which he hath given unto you.

FOLLOWING GOD IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.  GOD KEEPS ALL HIS 

PROMISES.  WE WILL BE BLESSED IN OUR OBEDIENCE TO GOD.  

JUST AS SURELY AS WE WILL BE BLESSED BY OUR OBEDIENCE WE 

WILL BE CHASTENED IN DISOBEDIENCE.  WHO DO YOU REALLY 

TRUST?  IS IT GOD, OR YOUR MONEY, OR YOUR GOVERNMENT?  

WILL YOU SERVE THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD OR WILL YOU SERVE  

THE ANTICHRIST GOD OF THE NEW AGE?  WILL YOU TAKE THE 666 

BASED SCANNER MARK ON YOUR RIGHT WRIST OR FOREHEAD TO BE 

ABLE TO BUY OR SELL?

Joshua 24:15  PG 342

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you 

this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your 

fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but 

as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

ALMOST EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS HEARD THIS FAMOUS QUOTE OF 

JOSHUA - "BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE 

LORD."  TAKE A LOOK AT THE CONTEXT FROM WHICH THE QUOTE IS 

TAKEN.  CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE.  WHAT ARE 

THE CHOICES?  WHO WERE THE GODS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 

FLOOD?  THEY WERE THE SAME AS THE GODS OF THE AMORITES.  

THESE GODS ARE GODS OF PRIDE, ANGER, LUST, ENVY, GLUTTONY, 

GREED, SEX, AND SELF GRATIFICATION. THE GODS OF THE NEW 

AGE ARE NOT NEW AT ALL.  IN THE GARDEN SATAN SAID TO ADAM 

AND EVE "YE SHALL BE AS GOD".  WILL YOU SET YOURSELF TO BE 

YOUR OWN GOD OR WILL YOU SERVE THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD?  

IS JESUS LORD OF MY LIFE OR AM I LORD OF MY LIFE?  CHOOSE 

YE THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE.  WILL I DENY MYSELF, PICK 

UP MY CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS?



Joshua 24:19  PG 342

And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: 

for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will 

not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

GOD WILL HAVE NOTHING LESS THAN FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE.  

HE IS HOLY AND REQUIRES US TO BE HOLY.  WE ARE FREE TO 

CHOOSE WHOM WE WILL SERVE.  GOD OR SELF WHO WILL I SERVE?



Joshua 24:23  PG 342

Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange gods which 

[are] among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God 

of Israel.

WHAT ARE THE STRANGE GODS THAT MUST BE PUT OUT OF MY LIFE?



Joshua 24:24  PG 342

And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we 

serve, and his voice will we obey.

THEY TALK THE TALK.  WILL THEY WALK THE WALK?  I KNOW IT 

IS EASY TO SAY I WILL SERVE THE LORD.  WILL I SERVE THE 

LORD IN DEED AND IN TRUTH?









MAR 16  JOSH. 24 & JUDGES 1:1 -2:5  PG 343 -346



Judges 2:8  PG 243

And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, 

[being] an hundred and ten years old.

JOSHUA DIES AT AGE 110.  ISRAEL HAD BEEN MAKING PROGRESS 

UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MOSES AND HAD MADE GREAT PROGRESS 

UNDER JOSHUA'S LEADERSHIP.  GODLY, STRONG AND COURAGEOUS 

LEADERSHIP MAKES A DIFFERENCE.  ISRAEL WAS ON THE ROAD TO 

THE GREATNESS WHICH GOD HAD INTENDED FOR HIS CHOSEN 

PEOPLE.  ONCE JOSHUA DIED ISRAEL LOST THE STRONG AND 

COURAGEOUS LEADER WHO WOULD NOT CONSIDER DEFEAT A 

POSSIBILITY WHEN GOD WAS ON HIS SIDE.  THE BACKSLIDING OF 

ISRAEL BEGINS AT JOSHUA'S DEATH.  WE NEED STRONG, AND  

COURAGEOUS FEARLESS LEADERS TODAY.





Judges 1:2   PG 344

And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have 

delivered the land into his hand.

THE LORD TOLD JUDAH THAT THEY WOULD BE VICTORIOUS.  GOD 

GAVE JUDAH THE HONOR OF BEING THE NATIONAL LEADER AFTER 

THE DEATH OF JOSHUA.  JUDAH WAS VICTORIOUS BUT THEN THEY 

STOPPED AND DID NOT DRIVE OUT THE PEOPLE OF THE PLAINS - 

BECAUSE THEY HAD IRON CHARIOTS.  GET THIS - THEY HAD GOD 

ON THEIR SIDE BUT FEAR OF THEIR ENEMY'S IRON CHARIOTS 

CAUSED THEM TO QUIT THE BATTLE.  JUDAH WAS THE LEADER.  

THEY SET THE EXAMPLE.  THEY STOPPED SHORT OF WHAT GOD TOLD 

THEM TO DO.  ALL THE REST OF THE TRIBES FOLLOWED SUIT AND 

HERE BEGINS THE DOWNWARD FALL OF ISRAEL FROM THE GREATEST 

NATION ON EARTH TO TOTAL DESTRUCTION.  WHAT FEAR OR TACTIC 

OF THE ENEMY WILL KEEP ME FROM COMPLETING THE JOB GOD HAS 

LAID OUT FOR ME TO DO?  HAS SATAN RUN ANY IRON CHARIOTS AT 

YOU LATELY?  THERE ARE MANY IRON CHARIOTS IN THE HILL 

COUNTRY TO TRY TO STOP US FROM COMPLETING OUR GOAL OF 

GOING THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES TOGETHER THIS YEAR.



Judges 2:1-5  PG 346

And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, 

and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have 

brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; 

and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.  And 

ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; 

ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed 

my voice: why have ye done this?  Wherefore I also said, I 

will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be 

[as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare 

unto you.  And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD 

spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that 

the people lifted up their voice, and wept.  And they 

called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed 

there unto the LORD.

EVERY TRIBE FOLLOWED JUDAH'S EXAMPLE.  THE IRON CHARIOTS 

OF FEAR CAUSED JUDAH TO FAIL TO COMPLETE THEIR MISSION OF 

DRIVING OUT ALL OF THE IDOLATROUS INHABITANTS OF THE LAND 

WHICH GOD TOLD THEM TO POSSESS.  AFTER THE FAILURE OF ALL 

THE TRIBES GOD HIMSELF IN THE FORM OF AN ANGEL DELIVERS 

THE BAD NEWS TO ISRAEL.  THIS WAS NOT JUST AN ANGEL.  NO 

ANGEL COULD SAY WHAT IS SAID HERE.  ONLY GOD COULD SAY 

WHAT IS SAID IN VERSE 1.  IT WAS JESUS.  THERE ARE 

ACTUALLY ABOUT 40 TIMES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WHERE GOD 

APPEARED TO MEN.  THIS IS AT LEAST GOD'S 25th APPEARANCE.  

GOD HAD BEEN USING THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL TO TEST THE 

NATION AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE OBEDIENT AND DEPEND ON HIM 

FOR CONTINUED HELP.  THIS IS THE SAME REASON HE PERMITS US 

CHRISTIANS TO BE TESTED.  ALL OF THE EXPERIENCES OF ISRAEL 

ARE LESSONS TO US TODAY.  DO WE DEPEND ON GOD?  CAN GOD 

DEPEND ON US?  GOD DOESN'T NEED US, HE LOVES US.  HE WANTS 

TO BLESS US.  WE GROW THROUGH TRIALS AND TESTING.  BUT WHO 

WANTS TO SUFFER TODAY?  HAVE YOU SEEN ANY IRON CHARIOTS 

LATELY?





THERE HAVE NOW BEEN 25 VERSES WHERE GOD HAS APPEARED TO 

MEN FROM GENESIS TO JUDGES 2:1.  THERE ARE SOME DEBATABLE 

APPEARANCES.  YOU COULD COUNT AS MANY AS 32 APPEARANCES OF 

JESUS TO THIS POINT IF YOU WANTED TO COUNT HIS APPEARANCES 

TO BALAAM'S DONKEY.  WE NEED TO PRAY FOR THE JEWS TO BE 

ABLE TO SEE JESUS IN THEIR SCRIPTURES.









MAR 17  JUDGES 2:7 - 3:31  PG  347 - 349



Judges 2:10-12  PG 347

And also all that generation were gathered unto their 

fathers: and there arose another generation after them, 

which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had 

done for Israel.  And the children of Israel did evil in 

the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:  And they 

forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them 

out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the 

gods of the people that [were] round about them, and bowed 

themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

HISTORY TEACHES US THAT EVEN GREAT SOCIETIES AND EMPIRES 

ARE ONLY ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM DESTRUCTION.  WHEN THE 

NEXT GENERATION FAILS TO LEARN THE IMPORTANT MORAL LESSONS 

FROM THE PREVIOUS GENERATION IT IS A FAST TRACK DOWN THE 

TUBES.  THAT IS WHY PARENTS MUST TEACH THEIR CHILDREN.  

THAT IS WHY IT IS SO SAD TO SEE HOW GOD AND GODLY 

PRINCIPLES HAVE, IN OUR GENERATION, BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY 

ELIMINATED FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS OF OUR COUNTRY.



Judges 2:14  And the anger of the LORD was hot against 

Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers 

that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of 

their enemies round about, so that they could not any 

longer stand before their enemies.

GOD PUTS UP WITH A LOT, PERMITS A LOT, AND HAS GREAT 

PATIENCE.  BUT THERE COMES A TIME WHEN HE HAS ENOUGH AND 

BECOMES ANGRY WITH SINFUL NATIONS.  WHEN GOD'S ANGER IS 

RAISED AGAINST A NATION THAT NATION BECOMES ENSLAVED OR 

DESTROYED COMPLETELY UNLESS THEY REPENT.  WE MUST BE 

CRYING OUT TO GOD FOR REPENTANCE IN AMERICA.



Judges 3:9-11  PG 348

And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the 

LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who 

delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's 

younger brother.  And the spirit of the LORD came upon 

him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the 

LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into 

his hand; and his hand prevailed against 

Chushan-rishathaim.  And the land had rest forty years. 

And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

WHENEVER PEOPLE WILL CRY OUT TO THE LORD IN REPENTANCE HE 

HEARS THEM.  WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE DELIVERED DEPENDS ON 

THEIR OBEDIENCE.  WE MUST TURN AWAY FROM OUR SINS.  DO YOU 

NOTICE HOW WE SEE THAT A GENERATION IN THE BIBLE SEEMS TO 

BE 40 YEARS.  THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SINCE ISRAEL 

BECAME A NATION IN 1948.  WHEN WOULD YOU SAY THE NATION OF 

ISRAEL BEGAN TO BLOSSOM AND FLOURISH?  THIS IS VERY 

IMPORTANT IN LIGHT OF WHAT JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 24.



Judges 3:20-22  PG  349

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer 

parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I 

have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of 

[his] seat.  And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took 

the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his 

belly:  And the haft also went in after the blade; and the 

fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the 

dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

EHUD KILLED THE KING OF MOAB.  EHUD WAS STRONG AND VERY 

COURAGEOUS.



Judges 3:29-30  PG 349

And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, 

all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a 

man.  So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of 

Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

HERE WE SEE THE LAND HAVING PEACE FOR 80 YEARS.  WILL 

ISRAEL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO GOD?  NO WAY!  80 YEARS LATER  

IT IS BACK TO BAALS AND ASTHOROTHS.  DO WE DARE DISCUSS 

WHY IT WAS ALWAYS BACK TO THE BAALS?









MAR 18  JUDGES 4:1 - 5:31  PG  349 - 353



Judges 4:3  PG 349

And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD:

for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years 

he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

IRON CHARIOTS - THESE ARE WHAT PUT FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF 

THE ISRAELITES.  WHAT IS IT THAT WE FEAR.  WE NEED TO TRY 

TO GET TO THE POINT WHEN IT IS ONLY GOD THAT WE FEAR AND 

NOTHING ELSE.  GOD WANTS US TO BE STRONG AND BE 

COURAGEOUS.  THAT IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN WE TRUST GOD 

COMPLETELY.



Judges 4:4  PG 350

And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she 

judged Israel at that time.

THERE WAS NOT A MAN IN ISRAEL THAT HAD THE STRENGTH AND 

COURAGE TO CHALLENGE THE IRON CHARIOTS.  IT WAS DEBORAH 

WHO HAD THE COURAGE TO GO AGAINST THE IRON CHARIOTS.



Judges 4:9-10  PG 350

And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding 

the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine 

honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a 

woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he 

went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah 

went up with him.

BARAK DID NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO GO UP AGAINST SISERA'S 

IRON CHARIOTS.  IF DEBORAH WOULD NOT HAVE GONE UP TO SHAME 

BARAK'S LACK OF COURAGE THE IRON CHARIOTS NEVER WOULD HAVE 

BEEN CHALLENGED.



Judges 4:15   PG 350

And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all [his] chariots, 

and all [his] host, with the edge of the sword before 

Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off [his] chariot, and 

fled away on his feet.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO SEE THAT IT WAS ALWAYS THE LORD WHO 

GIVES THE VICTORY.



Judges 4:21  PG 350

Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took 

an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote 

the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the 

ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

NONE OF THE MEN HAD THE COURAGE TO DO WHAT JAEL DID.



Judges 5:1-3  PG 351

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that 

day, saying,

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the 

people willingly offered themselves.

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, 

will sing unto the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD 

God of Israel.

AS THE LEADER OF ISRAEL DEBORAH MADE SURE THAT GOD 

RECEIVED ALL THE PRAISE AND GLORY FOR THE VICTORY.



Judges 5:31  PG 353

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them 

that love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his 

might. And the land had rest forty years.

AGAIN WE SEE THE LAND HAVING REST FOR 40 YEARS.  IT 

CERTAINLY DOES SEEM THAT A BIBLICAL GENERATION IS 40 

YEARS.  I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT EVENTS YOU 

BELIEVE MARKED THE FLOURISHING OR BLOOMING OF THE NATION 

OF ISRAEL.  ISRAEL BECAME A NATION IN 1948.  LAST DAYS 

PROPHESY HAD BEEN ON HOLD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS UNTIL 

THEN.  END TIME PROPHESIES ARE NOW BEING FULFILLED SO 

RAPIDLY IT IS HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM ALL.  WHAT AN 

EXCITING TIME.  WE MAY INDEED BE THE GENERATION TO WITNESS 

THE LORD'S RETURN.  BETWEEN NOW AND THEN THERE WILL BE 

THAT 7 YEARS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER OR NEW AGE MOVEMENT 

UNDER THE TYRANNICAL RULE OF ANTICHRIST.









MAR 19  JUDGES 6:1 - 8:3  PG  353 - 357



Judges 6:10  PG 354

And I said unto you, I [am] the LORD your God; fear not 

the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye 

have not obeyed my voice.

LET US OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD.  WE HEAR THE VOICE OF 

THE LORD WHEN WE READ THE BIBLE.  IT IS GOD, NOT THE 

GOVERNMENT, NOT THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT, NOT MOTHER EARTH, 

NOT THE VOICE OF THE ASCENDED MASTERS THAT WE MUST HEAR 

AND OBEY.  IT IS ONLY THE VOICE OF GOD THAT WE MUST OBEY.  

THERE ARE MANY VOICES THAT WE HEAR TODAY.  MOST OF THEM 

ARE IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE VOICE OF GOD.  THE ONLY 

WAY WE CAN AVOID BEING DECEIVED TODAY IS TO HEAR THE VOICE 

OF GOD AND KNOW THE VOICE OF GOD FROM GENESIS TO 

REVELATION.  EVEN OUR LOVED ONES, OUR FRIENDS, OUR 

FAMILIES AND EVEN OUR PASTORS CAN DECEIVE US.  IN THE LAST 

DAYS THEY WILL HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS HAVING ITCHING 

EARS.  UNFORTUNATELY TODAY THERE ARE MANY MORE FALSE 

TEACHERS THAT TRUE TEACHERS.  IN FACT THE ONLY WE CAN KEEP 

FROM BEING DECEIVED IS TO CHECK EVERYTHING WE HEAR AND 

CAREFULLY COMPARE IT WITH WHAT GOD SAYS TO US GENESIS TO 

REVELATION.



Judges 6:14  PG 354

And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy 

might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the 

Midianites: have not I sent thee?

HOW CAN YOU FAIL IF IT IS GOD WHO SENDS US?  BUT GIDEON 

SAYS - WHO ME?  MAYBE THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK WHEN GOD 

TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS BEYOND YOUR 

ABILITY OR STRENGTH.  BUT GOD'S STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT 

IN WEAKNESS.  GOD IS MORE GLORIFIED WHEN THE WEAK 

UNTALENTED PERSON DOES THE GREAT THING THAN WHEN THE GREAT 

PERSON DOES A GREAT THING.  YOU CAN DO ANYTHING GOD TELLS 

YOU TO DO BECAUSE IT IS GOD'S POWER NOT YOURS THAT WILL 

MAKE IT HAPPEN.  NO ONE IS UNDERQUALIFIED FOR ANYTHING 

THAT GOD TELLS THEM TO DO.



Judges 6:17-18  PG 354

And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy 

sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.

Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and 

bring forth my present, and set [it] before thee. And he 

said, I will tarry until thou come again.

HOW CAN WE BE SURE IT IS GOD TELLING US TO DO SOMETHING?  

REMEMBER GIDEON DID NOT HAVE THE BIBLE WE HAVE.  NOBODY 

THEN HAD THE POWER WE HAVE NOW.  NOBODY THEN HAD THE 

KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE NOW.  THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD ONLY BE 

WITH PEOPLE FOR A TIME THEN.  NOW YOU CAN HAVE THE HOLY 

SPIRIT IN YOU.  DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?  HAVE YOU 

RECEIVED THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?  WE NEED THE 

FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  WHAT IS SPIRIT FILLED?  

BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT IS BEING FILLED WITH THE WORD 

OF GOD.  IT IS NOT A FEELING, IT IS BEING FILLED WITH THE 

TRUTH AND POWER OF GOD'S WORD.  GIDEON DIDN'T HAVE THAT.  

GIDEON COULDN'T HAVE THAT - BUT YOU CAN.  NOTHING BOTHERS 

ME MORE THAN PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT 

AND WHO HAVE NEVER READ THE BIBLE AND WHO DO NOT HAVE TIME 

TO READ THE BIBLE.  WE MAY GET FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT 

BUT WE ALL LEAK A LOT.  WE NEED TO GET REFILLED.  GETTING 

FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT IS THE SAME AS GETTING FILLED WITH 

THE WORD.  OBEDIENCE IS THE KEY.  OBEDIENCE COMES WHEN WE 

READ THE WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT TAKES THAT WORD AND 

CONVICTS US OF OUR DISOBEDIENCE.  THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A 

PERFECT GENTLEMAN.  THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHET IS SUBJECT 

TO THE PROPHET.  GOD WILL NEVER FORCE YOU TO DO ANYTHING 

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.



Judges 6:21  PG 354

Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff 

that [was] in his hand, and touched the flesh and the 

unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, 

and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the 

angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

JESUS GAVE GIDEON THE SIGN HE NEEDED.  YES IT WAS JESUS.  

THIS IS AT LEAST JESUS' 26TH APPEARANCE.  JESUS GAVE 

GIDEON THE SIGN HE NEEDED.  HE DOESN'T GIVE A LOT OF SIGNS 

TODAY BECAUSE WE SHOULDN'T NEED SIGNS TODAY.  TODAY WITH 

ALL THE DEMONIC ACTIVITY ON THE INCREASE, SIGNS CAN GET 

YOU IN TROUBLE.  WHAT WE NEED TODAY IS MORE KNOWLEDGE OF 

HIS WORD.



Judges 6:23  PG 354

And the LORD said unto him, Peace [be] unto thee; fear 

not: thou shalt not die.

GIDEON KNEW THAT HE HAD SEEN GOD WHEN HE HAD SEEN JESUS.  

WE NEED TO PRAY THAT OUR JEWISH BROTHERS CAN SEE GOD WHEN 

THEY SEE MESSIAH JESUS IN THEIR SCRIPTURES.



Judges 6:25-27  PG 354 -355

And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said 

unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second 

bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of 

Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that 

[is] by it:  And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon 

the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the 

second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood 

of the grove which thou shalt cut down.  Then Gideon took 

ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto 

him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father's 

household, and the men of the city, that he could not do 

[it] by day, that he did [it] by night.

GIDEON OBEYED GOD BUT HE DID IT AT NIGHT.  WHAT DO YOU 

THINK ABOUT THIS?  WAS THIS A WEAKNESS OF FAITH?  GIDEON 

WAS PROBABLY JUST USING THE BRAINS THAT GOD HAD GIVEN HIM.  

IF HE HAD TRIED TO DO IT IN THE DAY HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE 

BEEN STOPPED.  WE NEED TO HAVE FAITH BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO 

USE THE BRAINS THAT GOD GIVES AND NOT JUST RUN ON EMOTION.



Judges 6:30-32  PG 355

Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy 

son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar 

of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that [was] 

by it.  And Joash said unto all that stood against him, 

Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will 

plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] 

morning: if he [be] a god, let him plead for himself, 

because [one] hath cast down his altar.  Therefore on that 

day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead 

against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

THIS IS FANTASTIC.  GIDEON'S DAD HAD THE PERFECT DEFENSE 

FOR HIS SON.  DO YOU WANT TO KILL MY SON BECAUSE MY SON 

TORE DOWN THE ALTER OF YOUR GOD?  IF YOUR GOD IS A GOD WHY 

DO YOU HAVE TO FIGHT YOUR GOD'S BATTLES.  IF YOU GOD IS A 

GOD HE WILL KILL MY SON HIMSELF BEFORE THE MORNING IS 

OVER.  LET YOUR GOD KILL HIM IF HE IS A GOD.  IF YOUR GOD 

DOESN'T KILL HIM MY SON HAS DONE YOU ALL A FAVOR BY 

PROVING THAT YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE RIGHT GOD.



Judges 6:36-40  PG 355

And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine 

hand, as thou hast said,  Behold, I will put a fleece of 

wool in the floor; [and] if the dew be on the fleece only, 

and [it be] dry upon all the earth [beside], then shall I 

know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast 

said.  And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, 

and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of 

the fleece, a bowl full of water.  And Gideon said unto 

God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will 

speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this 

once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the 

fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.  And God 

did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, 

and there was dew on all the ground.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?  GIDEON KNEW HE WAS DOING 

WRONG WHEN HE WAS TESTING GOD WITH THE FLEECE.  GOD WAS 

MERCIFUL AND ALLOWED GIDEON'S TESTS.  WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED 

TO PUT OUT FLEECES BUT WHEN IN DOUBT DON'T.  SEEK GOD'S 

WILL IN HIS WORD - NOT FLEECES.



Judges 7:2-4  PG 355

And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with 

thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into 

their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, 

saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.  Now therefore go to, 

proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever [is] 

fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from 

mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and 

two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.  And the 

LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; 

bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for 

thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto 

thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with 

thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go 

with thee, the same shall not go.

GIDEON STARTED OUT WITH AN ARMY OF ABOUT 33,000 TO GO 

FIGHT THE MIDIANITE ARMY OF 155,000.  GOD DID NOT LIKE THE 

5 TO 1 ODDS.  GOD SAID THAT IF THE ODDS WERE ONLY 5 TO 1 

THE ISRAELITES WOULD THINK THEY WON THE VICTORY.  GOD 

WANTED THEM TO BE SURE THAT THE VICTORY WAS GOD'S AND NOT 

THEIRS.  THERE WERE 23,OOO WHO WERE AFRAID AND THAT LEFT 

GIDEON WITH 10,000 OR 15 TO 1 ODDS.  STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH 

ODDS.  GOD HELPED GIDEON TO CUT THE SIZE OF THE ARMY TO 

300 SO THAT THE ODDS IN THE BATTLE WERE 500 TO 1.  GOOD 

ODDS FOR ANYONE WHEN GOD IS ON THEIR SIDE.  DON'T EVER 

FORGET IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU?



Judges 7:16-22  PG 356

And he divided the three hundred men [into] three 

companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with 

empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.  And he 

said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, 

when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be 

[that], as I do, so shall ye do.  When I blow with a 

trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the 

trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The 

sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon.  So Gideon, and the 

hundred men that [were] with him, came unto the outside of 

the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they 

had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, 

and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands.  And 

the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the 

pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the 

trumpets in their right hands to blow [withal]: and they 

cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.  And they 

stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all 

the host ran, and cried, and fled.   And the three hundred 

blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword 

against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the 

host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, [and] to the border 

of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.

HERE IS THE BATTLE PLAN SHOUT AND TOOT.  WHAT IS THE PLAN 

GIDEON - WE'RE GONNA SHOUT AND TOOT.  WHAT?  WE'RE GONNA 

SHOUT AND TOOT.  NOW YOU ALL CAN SHOUT BUT NO TOOTING IN 

HERE TONIGHT.



Judges 8:1-3  PG 357

And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served 

us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to 

fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him 

sharply.  And he said unto them, What have I done now in 

comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of 

Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?  God hath 

delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and 

Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then 

their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

LOOK AT THE PRIDE IN ISRAEL AND HOW GIDEON DEALT WITH IT.









MAR 20  JUDGES 8:4 - 9:57  PG  357 - 361



Judges 8:6-7 &9 PG 357

And the princes of Succoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebah 

and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread 

unto thine army?   And Gideon said, Therefore when the 

LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, 

then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the 

wilderness and with briers.

:9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When 

I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

FOOD WAS SCARCE IN ISRAEL BECAUSE OF THE OPPRESSION OF THE 

MIDIANITES.  GIDEON HAD JUST ROUTED THE MIDIANITES AND WAS 

CHASING THE 20,000 OF THE MIDIANITES THAT WERE LEFT OF THE 

ORIGINAL 155,000.  GIDEON STILL HAD ALL 300 OF HIS MEN BUT 

THE MEN OF SUCCOTH AND PENUEL WOULD NOT GIVE HIS MEN ANY 

FOOD.  THEY FIGURED ONCE GIDEON CAUGHT UP WITH THE 

MIDIANITES HIS 300 MEN WOULD BE WIPED OUT AND THEY DIDN'T 

WANT TO GIVE THESE CRAZY GUYS ANY FOOD BECAUSE THE WOULD 

ALL SURELY BE KILLED WHEN THEY CAUGHT UP WITH ZEBAH AND 

ZALMUNNA WITH THE ODDS AT 67 TO 1.



Judges 8:15-17  PG 357

And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold 

Zebah and Zalmunna with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, 

[Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, 

that we should give bread unto thy men [that are] weary?

And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the 

wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of 

Succoth.  And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew 

the men of the city.

WHEN GIDEON RETURNED TO SUCCOTH AND PENUEL HE PAID THEM 

BACK FOR NOT GIVING FOOD TO HIS MEN.



Judges 8:22-23  PG 358

Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over 

us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for 

thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.

And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, 

neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule 

over you.

THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WANTED TO MAKE GIDEON KING BUT HE 

REFUSED.  HE TOLD THEM THAT THE LORD SHOULD RULE OVER 

THEM.  BUT HE DID TAKE 43 POUNDS OF GOLD FROM THEM.



Judges 8:27-28  PG 358

And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, 

[even] in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring 

after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to 

his house.  Thus was Midian subdued before the children of 

Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And 

the country was in quietness forty years in the days of 

Gideon.

YOU RECALL THAT GIDEON HAD SEEN THE LORD JESUS AND WAS 

AFRAID THAT HE WOULD DIE.  HE TOOK THE GOLD AND MADE AN 

EPHOD WHICH WAS A GOLD PLATED IMAGE OF JESUS.  GOD DOES 

NOT WANT THIS.  THE PEOPLE WORSHIPED THE IMAGE.  THIS IS 

WRONG.  GOD DOES NOT WANT ANYONE WORSHIPING IMAGES, 

STATUES, PICTURES OR ANY OTHER THING.  GOD IS TOO GREAT TO 

BE IMAGED.  IT BECAME A SNARE TO GIDEON'S FAMILY AND MAY 

HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LOSS OF HIS 70 SONS IN 

ONE DAY.  AGAIN WE SEE THAT THE LAND HAD PEACE FOR 40 

YEARS.  THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATION THAT A BIBLE GENERATION 

IS 40 YEARS.



Judges 8:30-31  PG 358

And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body 

begotten: for he had many wives.  And his concubine that 

[was] in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he 

called Abimelech.

GIDEON HAD 70 SONS FROM HIS WIVES.  BEYOND HIS POLYGAMY HE 

HAD A SON BY A CONCUBINE IN SCHECHEM.  IT IS CURIOUS THAT 

HE WOULD NAME HIM ABIMELECH.  THIS NAME IS THE HEATHEN 

TITLE OF CHIEF OR KING.



Judges 8:33-34  PG 358

And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the 

children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after 

Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.  And the children 

of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had 

delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on 

every side:

IT ONLY TAKES A GENERATION WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE NOT 

TAUGHT TO FEAR THE LORD AND SATAN ALWAYS WILL TURN THEM TO 

BAAL OR THE RELIGION OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY.  WE ARE 

WATCHING IT HAPPENING IN OUR LAND TODAY.  THE 40 YEAR 

BIBLE GENERATION IS SIGNIFICANT.



Judges 9:3-15  PG 358 - 359

And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all 

the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts 

inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He [is] our 

brother.  And they gave him threescore and ten [pieces] of 

silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith 

Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed 

him.   And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and 

slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, [being] 

threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: 

notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal 

was left; for he hid himself.  And all the men of Shechem 

gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, 

and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that 

[was] in Shechem.  And when they told [it] to Jotham, he 

went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up 

his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, 

ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.  The 

trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them; 

and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.



But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my 

fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go 

to be promoted over the trees?   And the trees said to the 

fig tree, Come thou, [and] reign over us.  But the fig 

tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my 

good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?  Then 

said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, [and] reign over 

us.  And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, 

which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the 

trees?  Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come 

thou, [and] reign over us.  And the bramble said unto the 

trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [then] come 

[and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire 

come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

ABIMELECH GOT MONEY TO HIRE MERCENARIES FROM THE PEOPLE OF 

SCHECHEM.  HE THE WENT TO GIDEON'S TOWN AND KILLED ALL 70 

OF HIS HALF BROTHERS IN ONE DAY AND ONLY JOTHAM ESCAPED.  

ABIMELECH WAS MADE KING.  JOTHAM GIVE A GREAT SPEECH AND 

SOWS THE SEEDS OF REVOLT TO ABIMELECH'S SUBJECTS.



Judges 9:19-20  PG 359

If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal 

and with his house this day, [then] rejoice ye in 

Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:  But if not, 

let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of 

Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out 

from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and 

devour Abimelech.

THE CONCLUSION WAS OBVIOUS.  THE HOUSE OF GIDEON HAD BEEN 

TREACHEROUSLY AND DASTARDLY DESTROYED BY ABIMELECH.



Judges 9:22-23  PG 359

When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,  Then 

God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of 

Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with 

Abimelech:

THE SEEDS OF REVOLT SOWN TO THE MEN OF SHECHEM BY JOTHAM'S 

SPEECH QUICKLY LEAD TO ABIMELECH'S DOWNFALL.  IT TAKES 

JUST 3 YEARS TO BEGIN IN ERNEST.



Judges 9:53-57  PG 361

And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon 

Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.  Then he 

called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and 

said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say 

not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him 

through, and he died.  And when the men of Israel saw that 

Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his 

place.  Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, 

which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy 

brethren:  And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God 

render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of 

Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.









MAR 21  JUDGES 10:1 - 12:15  PG  361 - 364



Judges 10:6-7  PG 361

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of 

the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods 

of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and 

the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the 

Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.

And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he 

sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the 

hands of the children of Ammon.

WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN TO HAVE THE ANGER OF THE LORD HOT 

AGAINST YOU?  ISRAEL TURNS AWAY FROM GOD AND ENDS UP IN 

BONDAGE AGAIN.



Judges 10:10  PG 362

And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We 

have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken 

our God, and also served Baalim.

IT IS ONLY WHEN THEY GET IN TROUBLE THAT THEY REMEMBER 

GOD.  ISN'T THAT JUST HOW WE ARE SOMETIMES?  THAT IS WHAT 

IS SO GOOD ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH THIS DAILY BIBLE

READING.  THERE IS THIS DISCIPLINE OF GOING TO GOD'S WORD 

DAILY.  WE DON'T HAVE TO BE IN TROUBLE TO REMEMBER GOD.  

IT IS SO MUCH BETTER TO PRAISE HIM AS WE ARE SENSITIVE TO 

HOW HE BLESSES US EVERY DAY?



Judges 10:13-14  PG 362

Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore 

I will deliver you no more.  Go and cry unto the gods 

which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of 

your tribulation.

HERE IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THOUGHT.  GOD SAYS I WILL 

DELIVER YOU NO MORE.  WHAT IF WE COULD NOT CRY TO GOD?



Judges 10:15-16  PG 362

And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have 

sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; 

deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.  And they put 

away the strange gods from among them, and served the 

LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

ISRAEL REPENTS.  THEY AGREE WITH GOD.  THEY AGREE THAT 

THEY HAVE SINNED.  THEY AGREE THAT GOD HAS EVERY RIGHT TO 

DO WITH THEM WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO WITH THEM.  THE REAL 

KEY IS THAT THEY DID PUT AWAY THE STRANGE GODS.  THEY 

ACTUALLY CHOSE OBEDIENCE.  AS A RESULT OF THIS OBEDIENCE 

THE SOUL OF THE LORD GRIEVED AT THEIR MISERY.



Judges 11:29-31  PG 363

Then the spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he 

passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh 

of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] 

the children of Ammon.  And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the 

LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the 

children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that 

whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet 

me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, 

shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a 

burnt offering.

GOD RAISED UP JAPHTHAH  TO DELIVER ISRAEL FROM THE 

OPPRESSION OF THE AMORITES.  THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME 

UPON HIM.  WHAT DO YOU THINK OF HIS VOW TO SACRIFICE 

WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THE DOOR OF HIS HOUSE?



Judges 11:34-36  PG 363 - 364

And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, 

his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with 

dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had 

neither son nor daughter.  And it came to pass, when he 

saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my 

daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one 

of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto 

the LORD, and I cannot go back.  And she said unto him, My 

father, [if] thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do 

to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy 

mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee 

of thine enemies, [even] of the children of Ammon.

LOOK AT THE OBEDIENCE OF JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER.  WHY DO YOU 

THINK GOD DID NOT STOP JEAPHTHAH FROM SACRIFICING HIS 

DAUGHTER AS HE HAD STOPPED ABRAHAM FROM SACRIFICING ISAAC?



Judges 12:2-3  PG 364

And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great 

strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, 

ye delivered me not out of their hands.  And when I saw 

that ye delivered [me] not, I put my life in my hands, and 

passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD 

delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up 

unto me this day, to fight against me?

WHAT IS WITH THESE EPHRAIM PEOPLE?  THIS IS THE SAME THING 

THAT THEY DID TO GIDEON.  THEY WILL NOT JOIN IN THE BATTLE 

AND AFTER THE LORD GIVES VICTORY WITHOUT THEIR HELP THEY 

WANT TO FIGHT THE PEOPLE THAT THE LORD HAD USED IN THE 

VICTORY.  IT IS PRIDE.  HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN A SAINT IN THE 

CHURCH WHO GETS UPSET WHEN SOMEONE STEPS IN TO DO THE JOB 

THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE.  GOD'S WORK WILL BE DONE.  THIS 

SORT OF THING IS A SURE SIGN THAT THE PEOPLE ARE WORKING 

FOR THEIR OWN PRIDE AND VAIN GLORY RATHER THAN GOD'S 

GLORY.  ULTIMATELY THEY WILL BE STRUCK DOWN.









MAR 22  RUTH 1:1 - 4:22  PG  365 - 369



Ruth 1:13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? 

would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my 

daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the 

hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

NAOMI EXPRESSES HER GRIEF SAYING THE LORD'S HAND HAS GONE 

OUT AGAINST HER.  HOW SHOULD WE TRY TO COMFORT THOSE WHO 

ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF GRIEF WHO MAY BE BLAMING GOD FOR 

THEIR LOSS?



Ruth 1:16-17 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, 

[or] to return from following after thee: for whither thou 

goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: 

thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my God: Where 

thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the 

LORD do so to me, and more also, [if ought] but death part 

thee and me.

WHAT A NOBLE LADY RUTH IS.  THIS PURE HEART ATTITUDE 

PROBABLY HAS COME AS A RESULT OF GETTING TO KNOW NAOMI'S 

GOD.



Ruth 2:7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather 

after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath 

continued even from the morning until now, that she 

tarried a little in the house.

NO ONE COULD HELP BUT NOTICE HOW HARD RUTH WAS WORKING.  

DILIGENT WORK DOES GET NOTICED, AND IS A SIGN OF GOOD 

CHARACTER.



Ruth 2:10-12  PG 366 - 367

Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the 

ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine 

eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I 

[am] a stranger?   And Boaz answered and said unto her, It 

hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto 

thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and 

[how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the 

land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which 

thou knewest not heretofore.  The LORD recompense thy 

work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of 

Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

BY HER WORK AND BY HER ATTITUDE RUTH HAD DEMONSTRATED TO 

BOAZ THAT SHE WAS A GODLY WOMAN.  HER ATTITUDE AND 

CHARACTER PROVED HER FAITH IN GOD.



Ruth 3:11-14    And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do 

to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my 

people doth know that thou [art] a virtuous woman.  And 

now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: howbeit there 

is a kinsman nearer than I.  Tarry this night, and it 

shall be in the morning, [that] if he will perform unto 

thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's 

part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, 

then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, [as] the 

LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

BOAZ LOVED RUTH AND TOLD HER THAT HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO 

MARRY HER AS THE LAW REQUIRED HER NEAREST KIN TO DO; BUT 

THAT SHE HAD ANOTHER RELATIVE WHO WAS ACCORDING TO THE LAW 

TO MARRY HER.



Ruth 4:8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy [it] 

for thee. So he drew off his shoe.

THE NEAREST KINSMAN REFUSED TO TAKE RUTH AND THEREFORE 

BOAZ WAS FREE TO MARRY RUTH.



Ruth 4:11 And all the people that [were] in the gate, and 

the elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the 

woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like 

Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou 

worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:

THE PEOPLE PROBABLY HAD NO IDEA OF THE PROPHETIC 

SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. - Micah 5:2 But 

thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among 

the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come 

forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose 

goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.



Ruth 4:13-17  PG 369

So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went 

in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a 

son.  And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed [be] the 

LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, 

that his name may be famous in Israel.  And he shall be 

unto thee a restorer of [thy] life, and a nourisher of 

thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, 

which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.

And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and 

became nurse unto it.  And the women her neighbours gave 

it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they 

called his name Obed: he [is] the father of Jesse, the 

father of David.

RUTH WAS DAVID'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER.  RAHAB WAS BOAZ'S 

MOTHER.  I THINK I TOLD YOU WRONG LAST WEEK THAT RAHAB WAS 

KING DAVID'S GREAT GRANDMOTHER.  ACTUALLY SHE WAS HIS 

GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER, AND RUTH WAS HIS GREAT 

GRANDMOTHER.









MAR 23  JUDGES 13:1 - 16:31             PG 370 - 375



Judges 13:1  PG 370

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of 

the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the 

Philistines forty years.

THIS IS NOW THE 7TH TIME JUST IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES THAT 

ISRAEL LEFT SERVING THE LORD AND WENT AFTER BAAL AND 

ASHERAH.  WHAT WAS THE ATTRACTION OF BAAL AND ASHERAH?

THEY JUST DID NOT GET IT ANY MORE THAN WE KEEP GOING BACK 

INTO OUR MESSES.  IT IS DIFFERENT HERE BECAUSE GOD DOES 

NOT RAISE UP A LEADER OF THE ISRAELI FORCES BUT RATHER A 

SINGLE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS EMPOWERED WITH SUPERHUMAN 

STRENGTH BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.



Judges 13:22-23  PG 371

And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, 

because we have seen God.  But his wife said unto him, If 

the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have 

received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our 

hands, neither would he have shewed us all these [things], 

nor would as at this time have told us [such things] as 

these.

MANOAH WAS BLESSED WITH A GODLY WIFE.  WE HELPLESS MEN 

NEED TO BE ATTENTIVE TO OUR GODLY WIFE.  LATER ON WE SEE 

THE OTHER TYPE OF WIFE.  SAMSON HAD THE OTHER TYPE OF WIFE 

NAGGING AND PRODING HIM DAY AFTER DAY UNTIL HE WAS TIRED 

TO DEATH.  MEN WHICH TYPE OF WIFE DO YOU HAVE?  LADIES 

WHICH TYPE OF WIFE ARE YOU?



Judges 14:6 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon 

him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and [he 

had] nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or 

his mother what he had done.

GOD HAD GIVEN SAMPSON SUCH SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH THAT HE 

COULD TEAR AN ATTACKING YOUNG LION APART WITH HIS BARE 

HANDS.  HE NOT ONLY HAD TO BE STRONG BUT ALSO VERY QUICK.



Judges 14:18-19  PG 372

And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day 

before the sun went down, What [is] sweeter than honey? 

and what [is] stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, 

If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out 

my riddle.  And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and 

he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and 

took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them 

which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and 

he went up to his father's house.

SAMPSON KNEW HIS WIFE HAD BETRAYED HIM.  HE QUICKLY KILLED 

30 PHILISTINES AND TOOK THEIR GARMENTS TO PAY OFF HIS LOST 

BET.  STILL ANGRY HE CATCHES 300 FOXES, TIES THEIR TAILS 

TOGETHER IN PAIRS AND TIED TORCHES TO THEM AND SET THEM 

LOOSE TO BURN THE PHILISTINE CROPS.



Judges 15:6-8  PG 372

Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they 

answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because 

he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And 

the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with 

fire.  And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done 

this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will 

cease.  And he smote them hip and thigh with a great 

slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the 

rock Etam.

SAMPSON'S UNFAITHFUL WIFE ALONG WITH HER FATHER IS BURNED 

ALIVE.  SAMPSON TAKES VENGEANCE ON THE PHILISTINES AND 

SLAUGHTERED MANY OF THEM.



Judges 15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put 

forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men 

therewith.

WHEN GOD'S SPIRIT WAS UPON HIM SAMPSON'S STRENGTH AND 

QUICKNESS WERE AWESOME.  THAT IS THE RIGHT USE OF THE WORD 

BECAUSE THIS STRENGTH CAME FROM GOD.  SINGLE HANDED HE 

KILLED 1000 WITH THE JAWBONE OF AN ASS.



Judges 16:15-16  PG 374

And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, 

when thine heart [is] not with me? thou hast mocked me 

these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great 

strength [lieth].  And it came to pass, when she pressed 

him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his 

soul was vexed unto death;

DELILAH NAGGED SAMPSON AND HE GAVE IN AND TOLD HER THE 

SECRET OF HIS STRENGTH.



Judges 16:20-21  PG 374

And she said, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And 

he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at 

other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that 

the LORD was departed from him.  But the Philistines took 

him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, 

and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in 

the prison house.

ONCE THE LORD HAD DEPARTED FROM HIM IT WAS NO PROBLEM FOR 

THE PHILISTINES TO SUBDUE HIM.

Judges 16:28-30 PG 357

And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, 

remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, 

only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of 

the Philistines for my two eyes.  And Samson took hold of 

the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on 

which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and 

of the other with his left.  And Samson said, Let me die 

with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] 

might; and the house fell upon the lords, ...

SAMPSON DIED KILLING MORE PHILISTINES THAN WHILE HE LIVED.









MAR 24   JUDGES 17 & 18               PG 375 - 378



Judges 17:5  PG 376

And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, 

and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became 

his priest.

MICAH HAD A WHOLE HOUSE FULL OF gODS (LITTLE g gODS).  HE 

KNEW THE LAW BUT HE THOUGHT HIS OWN WAY WHICH WAS AGAINST 

THE LAW WAS BETTER.



Judges 17:6  PG 376

In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every 

man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.

MICAH WAS TYPICAL OF HOW FAR THE WHOLE NATION HAD 

BACKSLID.  EVERY MAN DID WHAT WAS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES 

WITHOUT ANY REGARD FOR WHAT GOD SAID WAS RIGHT OR WRONG.



Judges 18:18   PG 377

And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved 

image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. 

Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?  And they said 

unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, 

and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: [is 

it] better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one 

man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in 

Israel?   And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the 

ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in 

the midst of the people.

HOW MANY PRIESTS OR PASTORS TODAY ARE GLAD TO GO WHEREVER 

THEY CAN GET THE BEST OFFER?  OF COURSE THEY WILL ALL SAY 

THAT THEY ARE CALLED SOMEWHERE ELSE.  HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE 

ALWAYS JUMPING FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH WHENEVER THEY GET 

THEIR FEELINGS HURT?  I THINK GOD WANTS US TO BLOOM WHERE 

WE ARE PLANTED.  LOYALTY IS A VIRTUE AS LONG AS WE ARE 

LOYAL TO THE TRUTH.  IF SOMETHING IS WRONG IN YOUR CHURCH 

PRAY AND WORK TO FIX IT.



Judges 18:31 And they set them up Micah's graven image, 

which he made, all the time that the house of God was in 

Shiloh.









MAR 25   JUDGES 19, 20, & 21  PG 378 - 383



Judges 19:12-15  PG 379

And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside 

hither into the city of a stranger, that [is] not of the 

children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.  And he 

said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one 

of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in 

Ramah.  And they passed on and went their way; and the sun 

went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which 

[belongeth] to Benjamin.  And they turned aside thither, 

to go in [and] to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he 

sat him down in a street of the city: for [there was] no 

man that took them into his house to lodging.



Judges 19:20  PG 379

And the old man said, Peace [be] with thee; howsoever 

[let] all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the 

street.

THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT LOT TOLD THE ANGELS AT 

SODOM AND GAMORAH.



Judges 19:23-26  PG379

And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, 

and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, [nay], I pray you, 

do not [so] wickedly; seeing that this man is come into 

mine house, do not this folly.  Behold, [here is] my 

daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring 

out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth 

good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.

But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his 

concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew 

her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and 

when the day began to spring, they let her go.  Then came 

the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the 

door of the man's house where her lord [was], till it was 

light.



Judges 19:29  PG 380

And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and 

laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, [together] 

with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all 

the coasts of Israel.

THE LAW HAD COMMANDED THAT SODOMIZERS BE KILLED.  ALL 

ISRAEL WAS MOBILIZED TO MAKE AN END OF THIS CRIME.



Judges 20:1-3  PG 380

Then all the children of Israel went out, and the 

congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan 

even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD 

in Mizpeh.  And the chief of all the people, [even] of all 

the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly 

of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that 

drew sword.  (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the 

children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the 

children of Israel, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?

AFTER ISRAEL WAS MOBILIZED A TRIAL OF SORTS WAS HELD WHERE 

THE CRIME WAS REVIEWED.



Judges 20:11-13  PG 380

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, 

knit together as one man.  And the tribes of Israel sent 

men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What 

wickedness [is] this that is done among you?  Now 

therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of Belial, 

which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and 

put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin 

would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the 

children of Israel:

THE MEN OF ISRAEL ASK THAT THE OFFENDERS BE DELIVERED IN 

ORDER TO AVOID THE MASS BLOODSHED OF WAR, BUT BENJAMIN 

REFUSES TO HAND OVER THE MEN OF GIBEAH.



Judges 20:23-28  PG 381

(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the 

LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, 

Shall I go up again to battle against the children of 

Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against 

him.)  And the children of Israel came near against the 

children of Benjamin the second day.  And Benjamin went 

forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and 

destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel 

again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went 

up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat 

there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and 

offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the 

LORD.  And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, 

(for the ark of the covenant of God [was] there in those 

days,  And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, 

stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again 

go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my 

brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for 

to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.

EVEN AFTER INQUIRING OF GOD TO FIGHT OR NOT TO WAGE WAR 

ISRAEL SUFFERS SEVERAL MAJOR DEFEATS BEFORE WINNING THE 

WAR.  THE VICTORY IS WON BY PERSEVERANCE AND NOT LOOSING 

HEART AFTER INITIAL DEFEATS.  IF GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE YOU 

WILL ULTIMATELY BE VICTORIOUS EVEN IF YOU EXPERIENCE 

DEFEAT EARLY ON.



Judges 20:35   PG 381

And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the 

children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day 

twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these 

drew the sword.

THE LORD SMOTE BENJAMIN.  THE LORD GAVE ISRAEL THE VICTORY 

IN HIS TIME.

Judges 21:16-18  PG 383

Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do 

for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are 

destroyed out of Benjamin?   And they said, [There must 

be] an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, 

that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.  Howbeit we 

may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children 

of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [be] he that giveth a 

wife to Benjamin.

ISRAEL HAD PURGED THE EVIL FROM THE LAND OF BENJAMIN.  

THEY STILL HAD COMPASSION ON BENJAMIN.  WE ARE CALLED TO 

CORRECT AND DISCIPLINE OUR BROTHERS NOT TO DESTROY THEM.



Judges 21:23   PG 383

And the children of Benjamin did so, and took [them] 

wives, according to their number, of them that danced, 

whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their 

inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.



Judges 21:25   PG 383

In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did 

[that which was] right in his own eyes.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING WHEN EVERYONE DOES WHAT IS RIGHT 

IN HIS OWN EYES.  DOES GOD AGREE THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING 

IS RIGHT?









MAR 26  I SAMUEL 1, & 2   PG 384 - 388



I Samuel 1:10-11   PG 385

And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the 

LORD, and wept sore.

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou 

wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and 

remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give 

unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto 

the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no 

razor come upon his head.

THIS IS A HARD PROMISE FOR A PARENT TO MAKE.  WOULD SHE 

KEEP HER PROMISE?



I Samuel 1:14   PG 385

And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put 

away thy wine from thee.

HANNAH WAS IN SUCH ERNEST PRAYER THAT ELI THOUGHT SHE WAS 

DRUNK.



I Samuel 1:16-17  PG 385

Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out 

of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken 

hitherto.

Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of 

Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of 

him.

THEN ELI TELLS HANNAH THAT HE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH HER 

PRAYER.



I Samuel 1:28   PG 385

Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he 

liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the 

LORD there.

HANNAH KEPT HER VOW AND SAMUEL WOULD BECOME A MIGHTY 

PROPHET OF GOD AND LEADER OF GOD'S PEOPLE.



I Samuel 2:2-3  PG 386

[There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none 

beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy 

come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of 

knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

HANNAH'S PRAYER IS A GREAT PRAYER.  GOD IS THE JUDGE OF US 

ALL.  ONLY GOD KNOWS THE MOTIVES OF THE HEART AND 

THEREFORE ONLY GOD CAN CORRECTLY JUDGE ALL.



I Samuel 2:8-9   PG 386

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up 

the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, 

and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the 

pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the 

world upon them.

He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall 

be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man 

prevail.

GOD WILL LIFT UP THE POOR AND HUMBLE IN HEART.  GOD 

PROTECTS HIS HUMBLE SERVANTS.



I Samuel 2:12  PG 386

Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not 

the LORD.

ELI'S SONS WERE WICKED AS THE DEVIL.  THEY WERE PRIESTS 

AND DID NOT KNOW THE LORD AND PROFANED THEIR HIGH OFFICE 

AND BLASPHEMED GOD.



I Samuel 2:16-17   PG 386-387

And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn 

the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul 

desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay]; but thou shalt 

give [it me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force.

Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before 

the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

ELI HAD FAILED TO TEACH AND DISCIPLINE HIS SONS.

I Samuel 2:20-21  PG 387

And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD 

give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to 

the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and 

bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel 

grew before the LORD.

ELI GLADLY RECEIVED SAMUEL FROM HANNAH AND ELKANAH.  

SAMUEL HAD BEEN PROPERLY BY THEM BEFORE THEY GAVE HIM TO 

THE LORD PROBABLY AT ABOUT AGE 4.  NO DOUBT SAMUEL 

RECEIVED HARSH TREATMENT FROM ELI'S WICKED SONS.



I Samuel 2:25   PG 387

If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: 

but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for 

him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of 

their father, because the LORD would slay them.

ELI WAS DISGUSTED WITH THE WICKEDNESS OF HIS SONS AND 

TRIED TO REASON WITH THEM BUT THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN TO 

THEIR FATHER.



I Samuel 2:30-31 & 34  PG 387

Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed 

[that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk 

before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from 

me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that 

despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and 

the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an 

old man in thine house.

And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon 

thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they 

shall die both of them.

JUDGMENT COMES WHEN THERE IS NO REPENTANCE.  GOD SENT A 

PROPHET TO TELL ELI THAT HIS HOUSE WAS GOING TO BE WIPED 

OUT BECAUSE OF THE UNREPENTANT EVIL OF HIS SONS.









MAR 27  I SAMUEL 3 THRU 7   PG 388 - 392



I Samuel 3:1  PG 388

And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. 

And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; 

[there was] no open vision.

THESE WERE DARK DAYS IN WHICH THE WORD OF THE LORD WAS 

RARE.  BUT GOD WAS GOING TO RAISE UP SAMUEL AS A GREAT 

PROPHET AND LEADER.



I Samuel 3:9-10  PG 389

Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall 

be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for 

thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his 

place.

And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other 

times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for 

thy servant heareth.

LISTEN CAREFULLY IF YOU HEAR YOUR NAME CALLED TWICE AND 

YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE FROM WHERE THE VOICE IS COMING.  

ADAM, ADAM,  ABRAHAM, ABRAHAM,  MOSES, MOSES AND NOW 

SAMUEL, SAMUEL.  GOD KNOWS US BY OUR FIRST NAME.  I CAN 

TESTIFY THAT GOD CAN STILL CALL HIS SERVANTS IN THIS SAME 

WAY.  LISTEN CAREFULLY AND BE READY TO ANSWER - HERE I AM.



I Samuel 3:18  PG 389

And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. 

And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him 

good.

SAMUEL DID NOT HOLD BACK FROM TELLING THE FULL HARD TRUTH 

TO ELI.  WE MUST TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH EVEN WHEN IT IS 

UNPLEASANT.



I Samuel 4:3-4   PG 389

And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of 

Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day 

before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the 

covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it 

cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our 

enemies.

So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from 

thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which 

dwelleth [between] the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, 

Hophni and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the 

covenant of God.

HERE IS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IN THE HANDS OF HOPHNI AND 

PHINEHAS.  THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS CAPTURED BY THE 

PHILISTINES AND HOPHNI AND PHINEHAS WERE KILLED.



I Samuel 4:17-18  PG 389

And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before 

the Philistines, and there hath been also a great 

slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni 

and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.



And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of 

God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side 

of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was 

an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty 

years.

ELI DIES IN THE SAME DAY AND SAMUEL THEN BECOMES GOD'S 

PROPHET AND LEADER OF ISRAEL.



I Samuel 4:21-22  PG 390

And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is 

departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, 

and because of her father in law and her husband.

And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the 

ark of God is taken.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CALLED ICHABOD - NO GLORY?  THE 

PHILISTINES HAD THE ARK BUT THEY SOON WISH THEY DIDN'T.  

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME GOD ALLOWED THE ARK TO BE TAKEN AS A 

SPOIL OF WAR.  WHEN TITUS SACKED JERUSALEM IN 70 AD IT 

SEEMS GOD TOOK THE ARK TO HEAVEN.  SEE REV. 11:19.



I Samuel 5:2-3  PG 390

When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it 

into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.

And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, 

Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the 

ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his 

place again.

WHAT A FANTASTIC SENSE OF HUMOR GOD HAS.  THE PHILISTINES 

gOD DAGON FALLS ON ITS FACE BEFORE THE ARK.



I Samuel 5:6-7 & 9-10  PG 391

But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, 

and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] 

Ashdod and the coasts thereof.

And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they 

said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with 

us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about, 

the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very 

great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both 

small and great, and they had emerods in their secret 

parts.

Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came 

to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the 

Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the 

ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.

THE PHILISTINES DIDN'T MISS WHAT GOD WAS TELLING THEM.



I Samuel 6:1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of 

the Philistines seven months.

AT THE END OF 7 MONTHS THEY WANTED TO SEND THE ARK BACK.





I Samuel 6:10-12  PG 391

And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them 

to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:

And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the 

coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their 

emerods.

And the kine took the straight way to the way of 

Beth-shemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they 

went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the 

left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them 

unto the border of Beth-shemesh.

THE COWS LEFT THEIR CALVES AND PULLED THE CART STRAIGHT TO 

ISRAEL.



I Samuel 6:19-20  PG 391

And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had 

looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the 

people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the 

people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of 

the people with a great slaughter.

And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand 

before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from 

us?

THERE WERE 50,060 MEN WHO WERE KILLED FOR LOOKING INTO THE 

ARK.   WHO IS ABLE TO STAND BEFORE THIS HOLY GOD?  ONLY 

THOSE WHO ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS MAY APPROACH 

THE MERCY SEAT OF GOD WITH CONFIDENCE.



I Samuel 7:10-11  PG 392

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the 

Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the 

LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the 

Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten 

before Israel.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the 

Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under 

Beth-car.

GOD ANSWERED THE PRAYER OF SAMUEL TO DELIVER ISRAEL FROM 

THE PHILISTINES WITH GREAT THUNDER.  IT SCARED THE 

PHILISTINES AND ISRAEL ROUTED THEM.









MAR 28  I SAMUEL 8 THRU 12              PG 392 - 398



I Samuel 8:6-7  PG 393

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a 

king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of 

the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have 

not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I 

should not reign over them.

SAMUEL WAS GRIEVED THAT ISRAEL WANTED A KING INSTEAD OF 

THE THEOCRACY WHICH GOD HAD GIVEN THEM.  GOD HAD ALREADY 

KNOWN THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND HAD PREPARED FOR IT BY 

GIVING THE QUALIFICATION FOR A KING TO MOSES ABOUT 350 

YEARS AGO.  GOD TELLS SAMUEL THAT ISRAEL IS NOT REJECTING 

SAMUEL BUT THEY ARE REJECTING GOD'S BEST.



I Samuel 8:10-11  PG 393

And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people 

that asked of him a king.

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that 

shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint 

[them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his 

horsemen; and [some] shall run before his chariots.

SAMUEL WARNED THEM WHAT THEY WOULD BE GETTING WITH A KING.  

I CAN'T HELP RECALLING HOW RUSH LIMBAUGH TRIED TO TELL 

AMERICA WHAT THEY WERE GETTING WITH CLINTON.



I Samuel 8:19  Nevertheless the people refused to obey the 

voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a 

king over us;

NAY BUT WE WILL HAVE A KING.  PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER 

THAN TO WANT WORLD OR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT.  BUT EVEN SOME 

CHRISTIANS WILL SUPPORT THE PLAN TO GO TO THE NEW WORLD 

ORDER OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT TO BE HEADED BY THE 

ANTICHRIST.  ANY WORLD GOVERNMENT PRIOR TO THE RETURN OF 

JESUS CHRIST WILL BE HEADED BY SATAN, THE ANTICHRIST AND 

THE FALSE PROPHET.



I Samuel 9:2   PG 393

And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul, a choice young 

man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the children 

of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders 

and upward [he was] higher than any of the people.

LONG TALL SAUL WOULD BECOME KING.



I Samuel 10:21   PG 396

When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by 

their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul 

the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he 

could not be found.

Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man 

should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he 

hath hid himself among the stuff.

LONG TALL SAUL IS NOT TOO COURAGEOUS.

I Samuel 11:6-7    PG 396

And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those 

tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and 

sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the 

hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth 

after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his 

oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and 

they came out with one consent.

LOOK WHAT HAPPENS TO LONG TALL HIDE-IN-THE-BAGGAGE SAUL 

WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD COMES ON HIM.  NOW HE HAS COURAGE 

WAY BEYOND HIS IMPRESSIVE FRAME.  GOD'S ANOINTING IS THE 

QUALIFICATION THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.



I Samuel 12:20-25  PG 398

And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done 

all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the 

LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

And turn ye not aside: for [then should ye go] after vain 

[things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] 

vain.

For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great 

name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you 

his people.

Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against 

the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you 

the good and the right way:

Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your 

heart; for consider how great [things] he hath done for 

you.

But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, 

both ye and your king.

GOD FORBID THAT I SHOULD SIN AGAINST THE LORD IN CEASING 

TO PRAY FOR YOU.  ONLY FEAR THE LORD.  SERVE HIM IN TRUTH 

WITH ALL YOUR HEART.  CONSIDER THE GREAT THINGS HE HAS 

DONE FOR YOU.  YOU HAVE WORKED TO INCREASE YOUR TALENTS,    

BUT, WHO GAVE YOU TALENTS TO BEGIN WITH?









MAR 29  I SAMUEL 13 THRU 14   PG 398 - 402



I Samuel 13:8-10  PG 399

And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that 

Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and 

the people were scattered from him.

And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and 

peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of 

offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul 

went out to meet him, that he might salute him.

SAUL KNEW IT WAS THE PRIEST'S JOB TO MAKE THE OFFERING AND 

NOT THE KING.  HERE IS WHERE HE STARTS HIS TAILSPIN TO 

HELL.



I Samuel 13:13-14  PG 400

And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou 

hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which 

he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established 

thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.

But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath 

sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath 

commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because 

thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee.

GOD REQUIRES OBEDIENCE FORM KINGS, PRIESTS, AND EVERYONE.  

SAMUEL LETS SAUL KNOW THAT GOD WILL CHOOSE A NEW KING AND 

IT DOESN'T TAKE SAUL LONG TO FIGURE OUT THAT IT WILL BE 

DAVID.



I Samuel 14:6-7 & 13-15  PG 400

And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, 

Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these 

uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: 

for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or 

by few.

And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in 

thine heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according 

to thy heart.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, 

and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before 

Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his 

armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were 

an half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow].

And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and 

among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they 

also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very 

great trembling.

THIS REALLY IS A SHAME.  NO DOUBT JONATHAN WOULD HAVE MADE 

A GOOD KING.  LOOK AT HIS COURAGE AND TRUST IN GOD.  NO 

WONDER HE AND DAVID WERE SUCH CLOSE FRIENDS.  TWO PEAS IN 

A POD WERE DAVID AND JONATHAN.





I Samuel 14:43-45  PG 401

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. 

And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little 

honey with the end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, 

[and], lo, I must die.

And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt 

surely die, Jonathan.

And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who 

hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: 

[as] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head 

fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. 

So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

SAUL SURE FELL IN A HURRY AND HE WAS AN IMMEDIATE 

DISASTER.  HIS SON JUST GOT A TREMENDOUS VICTORY FOR SAUL 

AND NOW HE IS READY TO KILL JONATHAN IF THE PEOPLE HAD NOT 

PREVENTED IT.  WOW!









MAR 30  I SAMUEL 14 THRU 15   PG 402 - 405



I Samuel 14:47 PG 402-403

So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against 

all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against 

the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the 

kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and 

whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them].

IT MAY SEEM LIKE SAUL IS A GOOD KING BECAUSE HE IS LEADING 

THE IARAELI ARMIES IN VICTORY OVER ALL THEIR ENEMIES.  THE 

TRUTH IS THAT ISRAEL WOULD HAVE BEEN VICTORIOUS WITH OR 

WITHOUT SAUL ACCORDING TO I Chronicles 5:22 For there fell 

down many slain, because the war [was] of God. And they 

dwelt in their steads until the captivity.



I Samuel 15:10-11  PG 403

Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,

It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for 

he is turned back from following me, and hath not 

performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he 

cried unto the LORD all night.

GOD AND SAMUEL WERE SORRY THAT SAUL WAS KING.  SAUL DID 

NOT DO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR THE KING OF ISRAEL TO 

DO.  TO SEEK THE LORD WITH ALL HIS HEART AND READ AND 

WRITE THE LAW OF GOD EVERY DAY.  HAD SAUL STUDIED THE LAW 

OF GOD AS IT WAS REQUIRED HE COULD HAVE BEEN RENEWED AND 

BEEN A GOOD KING.  THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR US.  IF WE 

NEGLECT GOD'S WORD WE TOO WILL BACKSLIDE.  IN THESE 

TURBULENT TIMES WE MUST NOT NEGLECT GOD'S WORD.



I Samuel 15:19-20  PG 404

Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, 

but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight 

of the LORD?

And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of 

the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, 

and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly 

destroyed the Amalekites.

SAMUEL IS ALWAYS CATCHING SAUL IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SINS.  

SAUL ALWAYS IS TRYING TO LIE HIS WAY OUT OF IT.  SAUL IS 

NOT TOO BRIGHT.  SAMUEL IS GOD'S PROPHET.  IT IS NOT 

COINCIDENCE THAT SAMUEL KEEPS SHOWING UP WHEN SAUL HAS HIS 

HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR.  EVERY TIME HE HAS A CHANCE TO 

REPENT.  HE CAN EITHER GET BETTER OR BITTER.



I Samuel 15:22-23  PG 404

And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt 

offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the 

LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to 

hearken than the fat of rams.

For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and 

stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou 

hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected 

thee from [being] king.

THERE ARE TWO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES IN THESE TWO 

VERSES:

1) OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE.

2) REBELLION IS AS BAD AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT.

OBEDIENCE IS MOST IMPORTANT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN 

SACRIFICE.  WITCHCRAFT IS TRYING TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE 

OTHERS WHICH IS GROSS SIN.  YET TO REBEL AGAINST GOD-GIVEN 

AUTHORITY IS AS BAD AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT.  THESE ARE 

VERY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES WHICH FEW UNDERSTAND.



I Samuel 15:24   PG 404

And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have 

transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: 

because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

SAUL LIES AGAIN TO COVER HIS SIN.  HE DID WHAT HE WANTED 

TO DO.  WHAT THE PEOPLE WANTED DID NOT HAVE A THING TO DO 

WITH HIS ACTIONS.

I Samuel 15:26   PG 404

And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: 

for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD 

hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

THESE WERE SAMUEL'S LAST WORDS TO SAUL.  SAUL IS PARANOID 

FROM THAT TIME FORWARD AND CONTINUES HIS TAILSPIN TO HELL.









MAR 31  I SAMUEL 16 THRU 17                PG 405 - 409



I Samuel 16:7  PG 406

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his 

countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I 

have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; 

for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD 

looketh on the heart.

MEN LOOK ON THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE BUT GOD LOOKS AT THE 

HEART.  WE DON'T KNOW THE HEART INTENTS OF ANYONE.  WE 

BARELY KNOW OUR OWN HEART INTENTS.  THE HEART INTENT MEANS 

EVERYTHING.  THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE DON'T 

JUDGE OTHERS.  WE SHOULD JUDGE OURSELVES BECAUSE WE DO 

KNOW OUR OWN HEARTS AND SO DOES GOD.



I Samuel 16:13   PG 406

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the 

midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came 

upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and 

went to Ramah.

SAMUEL ANOINTED DAVID TO BE KING.  THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAME 

UPON DAVID AND STAYED WITH HIM.  DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER 

GOD'S OWN HEART.



I Samuel 16:18  PG 406

Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I 

have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, [that is] 

cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of 

war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the 

LORD [is] with him.

EVERYONE COULD TELL THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WAS UPON 

DAVID.



I Samuel 16:22-23  PG 406

And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, 

stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was 

upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his 

hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil 

spirit departed from him.

GOD DID NOT SEND THE EVIL SPIRIT.  GOD HAD LIFTED HIS 

PROTECTION FROM SAUL.  THUS, GOD PERMITTED THE EVIL 

DEMONIC SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION TO MOLEST SAUL.  IF SAUL HAD 

BEEN IN A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THEN GOD WOULD NOT 

HAVE PERMITTED THIS DEMONIC OPPRESSION OF SAUL.  WHAT 

SONGS DO YOU THINK DAVID PLAYED WHICH DROVE THE EVIL 

SPIRITS AWAY FROM SAUL?  YOU GUESSED IT - PSALMS.  SPIRITS 

OF DEPRESSION AND OPPRESSION ARE DEMONIC.   I KNOW THIS 

DOESN'T SOUND SCIENTIFIC OR SOPHISTICATED, BUT IF JESUS 

SAYS THERE ARE DEMONS YOU BETTER BELIEVE THERE ARE.  ONE 

OF THE BIGGEST ALLIES OF THE DEMONS ARE THE PSEUDO 

INTELLECTUAL PSYCHO BABBLERS.  ONE THING THAT A DEMON 

CAN'T STAND IS WHEN YOU PRAISE GOD.  SOMETIMES YOU CAN 

FEEL SO OVERWHELMED THAT YOU CAN'T PRAISE GOD IN YOUR OWN 

WORDS.  READ THE PSALMS.  MAY I SAY THIS AGAIN.  READ THE 

PSALMS WHEN YOU ARE OPPRESSED OR DEPRESSED.  IF YOU KNOW A 

GOOD SCRIPTURE PRAISE SONG FORCE YOURSELF TO SING IT IN 

YOUR HEART.  SATAN AND HIS DEMONS WILL NOT HANG AROUND 

PEOPLE WHO PRAISE GOD.  THE BIG GUN YOU HAVE IS THAT OUR 

LORD HAS ALLOWED US TO USE THE AUTHORITY OF HIS NAME.  

WHEN WE ARE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD WE CAN STOP A DEMON 

IN ITS TRACKS WITH THE AUTHORITY OF THE NAME OF JESUS.  

GREATER IS HE THAT IS WITHIN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE 

WORLD.  WE NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS FOR THE SPIRITUAL 

WARFARE MAY BECOME TOTAL WAR DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION.  

IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU?



I Samuel 17:4  PG 407

And there went out a champion out of the camp of the 

Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height [was] 

six cubits and a span.

GOD HAD BEEN GIVING ISRAEL VICTORY IN SPITE OF SAUL, NOT 

BECAUSE OF HIM.  THE PHILISTINES TROT OUT THEIR BIG GUY, 

GOLIATH.  OVER 9 FEET TALL.  WHO WAS ISRAEL'S BIG GUY?  

SAUL WAS HEAD AND SHOULDERS TALLER THAN ANYONE IN ISRAEL.  

HE MUST HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO 7 FOOT HIMSELF.  NO WONDER 

DAVID COULD NOT THINK OF USING SAUL'S ARMOR.  SAUL IS 

SCARED TO DEATH.



I Samuel 17:8-9  PG 407

And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said 

unto them, Why are ye come out to set [your] battle in 

array? [am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? 

choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.

If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will 

we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and 

kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.

BECAUSE SAUL IS SO INTIMIDATED SO IS ALL THE ARMY OF 

ISRAEL.



I Samuel 17:32-51  PG 408 - 409

And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of 

him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against 

this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a 

youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's 

sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb 

out of the flock:

And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered 

[it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I 

caught [him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this 

uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing 

he hath defied the armies of the living God.

David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the 

paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will 

deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul 

said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet 

of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of 

mail.

And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed 

to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said unto 

Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved 

[them]. And David put them off him.

And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five 

smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a 

shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his 

sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the 

Philistine.

And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and 

the man that bare the shield [went] before him.

And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he 

disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of 

a fair countenance.

And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog, that 

thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed 

David by his gods.

And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will 

give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the 

beasts of the field.

Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with 

a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come 

to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the 

armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I 

will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will 

give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day 

unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the 

earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in 

Israel.

And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not 

with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and 

he will give you into our hands.

And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came 

and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran 

toward the army to meet the Philistine.

And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a 

stone, and slang [it], and smote the Philistine in his 

forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he 

fell upon his face to the earth.

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and 

with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but 

[there was] no sword in the hand of David.

Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and 

took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and 

slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the 

Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

DAVID DIDN'T HESITATE FOR A MOMENT.  WHO IS THIS 

UNCIRCUMCISED PHILISTINE THAT HE THINKS HE CAN DEFY THE 

ARMY OF THE LIVING GOD.  THAT IS THE KIND OF FAITH AND 

ATTITUDE THAT WE NEED TO SEEK.  NO WONDER HE WAS A MAN 

AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.  DAVID KNEW GOD WOULD BE GLORIFIED 

BY WHOEVER WOULD GO AFTER THIS ENEMY OF GOD.  WE NEED THIS 

SAME ATTITUDE AGAINST GOD'S ENEMIES.  DAVID JUMPED AT THE 

OPPORTUNITY TO BE GOD'S INSTRUMENT TO REMOVE ANY GIANT WHO 

WOULD BE AGAINST THE LIVING GOD.   WE SHOULD STUDY THIS 

ACCOUNT FREQUENTLY WHEN WE FEEL WE ARE BEING ATTACKED BY A 

STRONG ENEMY.



I Samuel 17:57 And as David returned from the slaughter of 

the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before 

Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

































































APR 1   HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN!

I SAMUEL 18 THRU 20 & PSALM 59             PG 409 - 415



I Samuel 18:1-5  PG 409

And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking 

unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the 

soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more 

home to his father's house.

Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved 

him as his own soul.

And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon 

him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his 

sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] 

behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of 

war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, 

and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

DAVID AND JONATHAN WERE IMMEDIATE BEST FRIENDS.  THEY BOTH 

TRUSTED GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEART.  DAVID WAS THE BEST AND 

MOST TRUSTWORTHY SUBJECT IN SAUL'S KINGDOM.



I Samuel 18:7-11  PG 409 - 410

And the women answered [one another] as they played, and 

said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten 

thousands.

And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; 

and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, 

and to me they have ascribed [but] thousands: and [what] 

can he have more but the kingdom?

And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit 

from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of 

the house: and David played with his hand, as at other 

times: and [there was] a javelin in Saul's hand.

And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David 

even to the wall [with it]. And David avoided out of his 

presence twice.

And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with 

him, and was departed from Saul.

Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his 

captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in 

before the people.

And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the 

LORD [was] with him.

DAVID DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO SERVE SAUL AND SAUL JUST 

HATED DAVID.  HAVE YOU EVER JUST TRIED EVERYTHING YOU 

COULD TO BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE AND THEY JUST KEPT 

HATING YOU AND TRYING TO HURT YOU?  PRAY FOR THEM.  WE 

HAVE A WAY OF BLESSING THE UNBLESSABLE.  IT IS PRAYER.  WE 

CAN TOUCH THE UNTOUCHABLE WITH PRAYER.  NOBODY CAN STOP 

THE POWER OF PRAYER.  JUST MAKE VERY SURE YOU ARE PRAYING 

BLESSINGS ON THE PERSON.  PRAYING CURSES IS WITCHCRAFT.  

THERE IS NO DEFENSE AGAINST LOVE.

I Samuel 18:20-21  PG 410

And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told 

Saul, and the thing pleased him.

And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a 

snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be 

against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this 

day be my son in law in [the one of] the twain.

HOW ABOUT THIS GUY SAUL.  HE KNOWS HIS DAUGHTER MICHAL HAS 

A BAD ATTITUDE.  HE KNOWS HER NAGGING, POORMOUTH, WAYS AND 

WANTS TO GIVE HER IN MARRIAGE AS "A SNARE" TO DAVID.



I Samuel 19:4-6  PG 411

And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and 

said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, 

against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, 

and because his works [have been] to thee-ward very good:

For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the 

Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all 

Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: wherefore 

then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David 

without a cause?

And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul 

sware, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.

WHEN DAVID WAS SUCCESSFUL SAUL TOLD JOATHAN AND ALL THE 

ATTENDANTS TO KILL DAVID.  JONATHAN QUICKLY SPOKE UP ON 

BEHALF OF HIS FRIEND DAVID AND SAUL CHANGED HIS MIND.



Psalms 59:1-13  PG 411-412

{To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; 

when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} 

Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from 

them that rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from 

bloody men.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are 

gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] 

my sin, O LORD.

They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake 

to help me, and behold.

Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, 

awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any 

wicked transgressors. Selah.

But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all 

the heathen in derision.

[Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God 

[is] my defence.

The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see 

[my desire] upon mine enemies.

Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy 

power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

[For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips 

let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and 

lying [which] they speak.

Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] 

not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto 

the ends of the earth. Selah.

HERE IS DAVID CONTINUALLY RISKING HIS LIFE FOR SAUL AND 

SAUL JUST WANTS TO KILL HIM.  DAVID WAS SO COURAGEOUS 

BECAUSE OF HIS TRUST IN GOD'S PROTECTION.  HE TOOK HIS 

PROBLEMS TO GOD.  GOD'S ENEMIES WERE DAVID'S ENEMIES AND 

DAVID'S ENEMIES WERE GOD'S ENEMIES.



Psalms 59:16-17  PG 412

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of 

thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence 

and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my 

defence, [and] the God of my mercy.

PEOPLE WOULD SING OF DAVID'S VICTORIES.  DAVID HOWEVER 

WOULD ALWAYS GIVE THE GLORY TO GOD.  THIS IS WHAT WE NEED 

TO LEARN.  THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE GLORIOUS THINGS WHICH 

GOD CAN HELP US ACCOMPLISH.  WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL TO 

GIVE GOD THE GLORY.



I Samuel 19:19  PG 412

And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth 

in Ramah.

I Samuel 20:1   PG 413

And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said 

before Jonathan, What have I done? what [is] mine 

iniquity? and what [is] my sin before thy father, that he 

seeketh my life?

SAUL WAS HUNTING HIS BEST SERVANT DAVID LIKE A MAD DOG.



I Samuel 20:32-34  PG 414

And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, 

Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby 

Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay 

David.

So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did 

eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was 

grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

JONATHAN TRIES TO INTERCEDE AGAIN FOR DAVID AND SAUL TRIES 

TO KILL JONATHAN.  SAUL IS ROARING ON HIS TAILSPIN TO 

HELL.









APR 2  I SAMUEL 21-22 & PSALM 56,34,&142   PG 415 - 419



I Samuel 21:6   PG 415

So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was no 

bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before 

the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken 

away.

DAVID AND HIS MEN ATE THE CONSECRATED HOLY SHOW BREAD.  

GOD CARES ABOUT OUR PHYSICAL NEEDS.  JESUS POINTED TO THIS 

INCIDENT WHEN HIS DISCIPLES WERE BEING CRITICIZED FOR 

EATING CORN FROM THE FIELD ON THE SABBATH.  OUTWARD SHOWS 

CAN BE VERY DIFFERENT THAN THE HEART ATTITUDE.  OVER AND 

OVER GOD LETS US KNOW HE IS MUCH MORE CONCERNED BY OUR 

HEART ATTITUDE THAN ANY OUTWARD SHOW.  THE MOTIVATION OF 

THE HEART IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE APPEARANCE.



Psalms 56:3-4  PG 415

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; 

I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

WHAT A GOOD PRAYER.  WHAT A GOOD EXAMPLE.  WE HAVE THE 

CHOICE OF FAITH OR FEAR IN ALL OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS.



Psalms 56:10-11  PG 416

In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise 

[his] word.

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man 

can do unto me.

DAVID LOVED THE WORD OF GOD.  HE MEDITATED IN IT DAY AND 

NIGHT.  AS A RESULT OF HIS CONTINUAL STUDY OF GOD'S WORD 

HE BECAME SINGLED OUT FROM ALL MEN AS A MAN AFTER GOD'S 

OWN HEART.  WHEN YOU READ GOD'S WORD YOU LET GOD TALK TO 

YOU AND, OVER TIME, YOUR HEART ATTITUDES GET CHANGED FOR 

THE GOOD.  THIS IS THE REAL REASON PEOPLE DO NOT READ THE 

BIBLE EVERY DAY.  WE CANNOT HELP BUT COME UNDER CONVICTION 

OF THE SINS IN OUR HEARTS.  THE HUMAN HEART IS DESPERATELY 

WICKED AND RESISTS THIS CONVICTING WORK OF GOD TO CHANGE 

OUR HEARTS.  IF YOU LOVE GOD - READ HIS WORD AND LET HIM 

HAVE HIS WAY IN CHANGING OUR HEARTS.



Psalms 34     PG 416-417

{ [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before 

Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.}

IF EVER YOU ARE DEPRESSED - READ THIS PSALM 34

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] 

continually [be] in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall 

hear [thereof], and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name 

together.

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from 

all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces 

were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved 

him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear 

him, and delivereth them.

O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the 

man [that] trusteth in him.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to 

them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that 

seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the 

fear of the LORD.

What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] 

days, that he may see good?

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking 

guile.

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his 

ears [are open] unto their cry.

The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to 

cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

[The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth 

them out of all their troubles.

The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; 

and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

DEPRESSION CAN BE CONQUERED BY MEMORIZING THIS PSALM.  

WHEN YOU GET FEELING LOW - THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO.



I Samuel 22:2   PG 417

And every one [that was] in distress, and every one that 

[was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented, 

gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over 

them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

DAVID WAS A GREAT LEADER.  ALL THE MISFITS AND MALCONTENTS  

CAME TO HIM AND HE MOLDED THEM INTO ISRAEL'S BEST FIGHTING 

FORCE.  THESE MALCONTENTS WOULD RISK THEIR LIVES GOING 

BACK AND FORTH THRU ENEMY LINES JUST TO GET DAVID A DRINK 

OF WATER IF DAVID EVER EVEN MUSED THAT A DRINK OF WATER 

WOULD TASTE GOOD.  ONLY THE GREATEST LEADERSHIP QUALITIES 

WHICH CAME FROM GODLY HEART PURITY COULD PRODUCE SUCH 

LOYALTY IN GOOD MEN NOT TO MENTION MALCONTENTS.









APR 3  I SAMUEL 23-24 & PSALM 52,63,&57   PG 419 - 424



I Samuel 22:18-19  PG 419

And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the 

priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the 

priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons 

that did wear a linen ephod.

And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge 

of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, 

and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the 

sword.

SAUL IS OUTRAGED THAT THE PRIESTS HAD GIVEN FOOD TO DAVID.  

HE ORDERS DOEG TO KILL EVERYONE.  WE KNOW THE SLAUGHTER 

INCLUDED 85 PRIESTS AND IN ADDITION TO THIS ALL THE WOMEN, 

CHILDREN, BABIES, AND EVEN THE ANIMALS WERE KILLED.  SAUL 

MUST HAVE INDEED BEEN DEMON POSSESSED AT THIS POINT.  ALL 

THIS TIME DAVID HAD PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE THE MOST 

TRUSTWORTHY MAN IN HIS KINGDOM.  PRIDE AND JEALOUSY HAD 

TOTAL CONTROL OF SAUL.



Psalms 52:8-9  PG 420

But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I 

trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: 

and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy 

saints.

IN THIS PSALM DAVID CRIES OUT TO GOD WHEN HE HEARS OF THE 

SLAUGHTER OF THE WHOLE TOWN WHICH HAD GIVEN HIM AID.  WHY 

DO YOU BOAST OF YOUR EVIL?  SURELY GOD WILL BRING YOU TO 

AN EVERLASTING RUIN.  DAVID CONCLUDES PSALM 52 BY TELLING 

WHY HE IS DIFFERENT THAN SAUL.  DAVID TRUSTS IN THE 

EVERLASTING MERCY OF GOD AND IS IN A STATE OF CONTINUAL 

PRAISE OF GOD.



Psalms 63:1-8  PG 421

{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of 

Judah.} O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: 

my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a 

dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee 

in the sanctuary.

Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips 

shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my 

hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; 

and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee 

in the [night] watches.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of 

thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand 

upholdeth me.

IN THIS PSALM DAVID PRAISES GOD FOR HIS GREAT PROTECTION.  

DAVID HAS A CONTINUAL DEEP HUNGER AND THIRST FOR GOD.  THE 

LOVINGKINDNESS OF GOD IS BETTER THAN LIFE.  DAVID IS 

CONTINUALLY LIFTING UP HIS HANDS IN PRAISE TO GOD.  EVERY 

NIGHT HE FALLS ASLEEP THINKING OF GOD'S GREATNESS AND 

KINDNESS TO HIM.



Psalms 54:4  PG 422

Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that 

uphold my soul.

THE ZIPHITES TELL SAUL WHERE DAVID IS HIDING.  PSALM 54 

RECORDS HOW DAVID CRIED OUT TO GOD WHEN HE LEARNED OF THE 

TREACHERY OF THE ZIPHITES AND THAT SAUL WOULD BE COMING 

AFTER HIM.  SAVE ME AND VINDICATE ME BY YOUR POWER LORD.  

DAVID FINDS HIS STRENGTH IN GOD.



I Samuel 24:4-6   PG 423

And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of 

which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver 

thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as 

it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut 

off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote 

him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do 

this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch 

forth mine hand against him, seeing he [is] the anointed 

of the LORD.

GOD DELIVERED SAUL RIGHT INTO DAVID'S HANDS.  SAUL WENT BY 

HIMSELF TO RELIEVE HIMSELF RIGHT IN THE CAVE WHERE DAVID 

AND HIS MEN WERE HIDING.  WITH SAUL IN THIS MOST 

VULNERABLE POSITION, AT THE URGING OF HIS MEN, DAVID CUT 

OFF PART OF SAUL'S ROBE.  DAVID IS IMMEDIATELY REMORSEFUL 

THAT HE HAS TOUCHED THE LORD'S ANOINTED.  WOW!  WHAT A 

MESSAGE THERE IS FOR US IF WE EVER CONSIDER DOING ANYTHING 

AGAINST SOMEONE WHOM GOD HAS PUT IN AUTHORITY OVER US.



I Samuel 24:8-12  PG 423

David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and 

cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul 

looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the 

earth, and bowed himself.

And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's 

words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?

Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD 

had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and 

[some] bade [me] kill thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; 

and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my 

lord; for he [is] the LORD'S anointed.

Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe 

in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, 

and killed thee not, know thou and see that [there is] 

neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have 

not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take 

it.

The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me 

of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

DAVID SHOWS SAUL THE PROOF THAT HE IS PROBABLY THE MOST 

TRUSTWORTHY MAN IN SAUL'S KINGDOM, IN LIGHT OF HOW 

RUTHLESSLY SAUL IS HUNTING HIM.  THE LORD JUDGE BETWEEN 

US.  WHENEVER GOD PUTS ANY AUTHORITY OVER US IT IS GOD'S 

BUSINESS TO DEAL WITH THAT PERSON.  IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR US 

TO REBEL OR EVEN BE CRITICAL OF GOD ANOINTED AUTHORITY OF 

US.  IF THERE IS EVER A PROBLEM BETWEEN YOU AND LET'S SAY 

YOUR PASTOR - LIFT HIM UP TO GOD IN PRAYER.  GO TO HIM ONE 

ON ONE WITH THE PROBLEM IN MEEKNESS AND FEAR.  DON'T EVER 

START OR SUSTAIN GOSSIP.



I Samuel 24:16-19  PG 423

And it came to pass, when David had made an end of 

speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this 

thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and 

wept.

And he said to David, Thou [art] more righteous than I: 

for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded 

thee evil.

And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt 

well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me 

into thine hand, thou killedst me not.

For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? 

wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast 

done unto me this day.

IT LOOKS LIKE SAUL MAY REPENT.  HOW LONG WILL SAUL HAVE 

VICTORY OVER HIS PRIDE AND JEALOUSY?



Psalms 57:1  PG 424

{To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, 

when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be merciful unto me, 

O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: 

yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, 

until [these] calamities be overpast.

THIS PSALM IS DAVID'S PRAYER WHILE HIDING IN THE CAVE 

WHERE GOD DID DELIVER SAUL RIGHT INTO DAVID'S HAND.

Psalms 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; 

[let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.

Psalms 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I 

will sing and give praise.

Psalms 57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: 

I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Psalms 57:10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, 

and thy truth unto the clouds.

Psalms 57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: 

[let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.

ANYONE BUT DAVID WOULD HAVE SAID THIS IS THE ANSWER TO MY 

PRAYER AND KILLED SAUL.  WHAT A GREAT LESSON THERE IS HERE 

FOR US WHEN WE FIND FAULT WITH GOD GIVEN AUTHORITY.  

DAVID'S PRAISE TO GOD - BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HEAVENS AND 

LET YOUR GLORY BE ABOVE ALL THE EARTH.









APR 4  I SAMUEL 25-27 & I CHRON 12        PG 424 - 431



I Samuel 25:3   PG 424

Now the name of the man [was] Nabal; and the name of his 

wife Abigail: and [she was] a woman of good understanding, 

and of a beautiful countenance: but the man [was] churlish 

and evil in his doings; and he [was] of the house of 

Caleb.

ABIGAIL WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OF GOOD UNDERSTANDING.  IT 

MAKES YOU WONDER WHY SHE WOULD MARRY A GUY LIKE NABAL WHO 

WAS CHURLISH AND EVIL IN HIS DOINGS.  THE WORD NABAL IN 

HEBREW MEANS DOLT OR STUPID.  CHURLISH REALLY FITS NABAL - 

VULGAR, ILL-NATURED, STINGY, PEEVISH, DIFFICULT TO DEAL 

WITH.  DAVID AND HIS MEN HAD BEEN PROTECTING NABAL'S 4,000 

SHEEP AND GOATS.  WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF DAVID'S MEN, 

NABAL WOULD PROBABLY HAVE LOST 200 SHEEP AND GOATS TO 

VARIOUS THIEVES.  AT SHEARING TIME DAVID SENT TO ASK NABAL 

TO LET DAVID'S MEN SHARE IN HIS SHEARING FEAST.  AND NABAL 

INSULTED DAVID.



I Samuel 25:21-22  PG 425

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that 

this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was 

missed of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath 

requited me evil for good.

So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I 

leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light 

any that pisseth against the wall.

DAVID IS GOING TO GO AND WIPE OUT CHURLISH NABAL.



I Samuel 25:26   PG 425

Now therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy 

soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from 

coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging thyself with 

thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek 

evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

ONE OF THE SERVANTS WHO KNEW THE STRENGTH OF DAVID'S ARMY 

WENT TO ABIGAIL.  ABIGAIL QUICKLY GOT A BUNCH OF FOOD 

TOGETHER AND HURRIED OUT TO MEET DAVID.  SHE PERSUADED HIM 

NOT TO TAKE VENGEANCE ON NABAL'S HOUSE.



I Samuel 25:32-35  PG 426

And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of 

Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which 

hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and 

from avenging myself with mine own hand.

For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, 

which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou 

hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not 

been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth 

against the wall.

So David received of her hand [that] which she had brought 

him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; 

see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy 

person.

ABIGAIL HAD SAVED HER WHOLE HOUSE AND HAD BEEN GOD'S 

INSTRUMENT TO PREVENT DAVID FROM TAKING VENGEANCE INTO HIS 

OWN HANDS.



I Samuel 25:38-39  PG 426

And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD 

smote Nabal, that he died.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed 

[be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach 

from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from 

evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal 

upon his own head. And David sent and communed with 

Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

NABAL DIED IN JUST 10 DAYS AND DAVID TOOK ABIGAIL AS HIS 

WIFE.



I Samuel 25:43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and 

they were also both of them his wives.

DAVID'S ONLY APPARENT WEAKNESS IS HIS EYE FOR THE LADIES.  

HE NOW HAS 3 WIVES.  POLYGAMY WAS NEVER GOD'S PERFECT 

WILL.  IT WAS PERMITTED BUT NEVER WAS IT SANCTIONED.



I Samuel 26:7-9  PG 427

So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, 

behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear 

stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the 

people lay round about him.

Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy 

into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, 

I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and 

I will not [smite] him the second time.

And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can 

stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be 

guiltless?

GOD AGAIN DELIVERED SAUL INTO DAVID'S HAND.  ABISHAI 

WANTED TO KILL SAUL.  DAVID SAYS NO WAY, DON'T DARE TOUCH 

THE LORD'S ANOINTED.



I Samuel 26:10   PG 427

David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the LORD 

shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall 

descend into battle, and perish.

NOBODY PROBABLY COULD EVER HAVE BETTER JUSTIFICATION FOR 

TAKING VENGEANCE THAN DAVID.  IT SEEMED THAT GOD WAS 

HANDING SAUL OVER TO DAVID.  DAVID KNEW THAT VENGEANCE IS 

THE PREROGATIVE OF GOD AND GOD ALONE.  GOD DOES NOT NEED 

ANY HELP IN THE VENGENCE DEPARTMENT.



I Samuel 26:12 So David took the spear and the cruse of 

water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no 

man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awaked: for they 

[were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was 

fallen upon them.

THE LORD HAD MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR DAVID AND ABISHAI TO GO 

IN AN OUT OF SAUL'S ARMY LINES BY WAY OF A DEEP SLEEP.



I Samuel 26:16-17  PG 427

This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the 

LORD liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not 

kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where 

the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] 

at his bolster.

And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this thy 

voice, my son David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my 

lord, O king.

NEXT MORNING DAVID CALLS ABNER ON THE CARPET FOR THE LOUSY 

JOB HE DID OF DEFENDING KING SAUL.  GUARDS FALLING ASLEEP 

GOT THE DEATH PENALTY IN ALL ARMIES OF THAT DAY.



I Samuel 26:21-25  PG 427

Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I 

will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in 

thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and 

have erred exceedingly.

And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and 

let one of the young men come over and fetch it.

The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his 

faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into [my] hand 

to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against 

the LORD'S anointed.

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine 

eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the 

LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

Then Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, my son David: 

thou shalt both do great [things], and also shalt still 

prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to 

his place.

SAUL'S REPENTANCE NEVER WAS GENUINE.  HE COULD NEVER 

CONTROL THE DEMONS OF PRIDE AND JEALOUSY.  THEY HAD TOTAL 

CONTROL OF HIM.



I Samuel 27:9-12  PG 428

And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman 

alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the 

asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and 

came to Achish.

And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And 

David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the 

south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the 

Kenites.

And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring 

[tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, 

saying, So did David, and so [will be] his manner all the 

while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.

And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people 

Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my 

servant for ever.

DAVID'S JOB IN SAUL'S KINGDOM WAS KILLING PHILISTINES.  

THIS WAS A TOUGH JOB WHEN SAUL WAS HUNTING DAVID LIKE A 

MAD DOG.  GOD GAVE DAVID THE WAY OUT.  DAVID WENT TO LIVE 

IN THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES.  THE PHILISTINES KNEW HOW 

SAUL WAS TRYING TO KILL DAVID.  SO DAVID TOLD THE 

PHILISTINES THAT HE HAD HAD ENOUGH OF SAUL AND WOULD RAID 

ISRAEL FOR THE PHILISTINES.  HE WOULD MARCH HIS ARMY OUT 

TOTALLY DESTROY A PHILISTINE CITY AND COME BACK WITH 

SPOILS THAT HE WOULD TELL HIS PHILISTINE RULER WERE TAKEN 

BY RAIDS IN ISRAEL.



I Samuel 30:5  PG 429

And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the 

Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of 

stoning him, because the soul of all the people was 

grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but 

David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

DAVID'S ARMY RETURNED HOME TO FIND THEIR CITY BURNED AND 

THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN TAKEN CAPTIVE.  THE MEN WERE 

TALKING ABOUT KILLING DAVID IN THEIR GRIEF.  DAVID 

ENCOURAGED HIMSELF IN THE LORD.



I Samuel 30:17-19  PG 430

And David smote them from the twilight even unto the 

evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of 

them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, 

and fled.

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried 

away: and David rescued his two wives.

And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor 

great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any 

[thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

DAVID PULLED HIS MEN TOGETHER AND WENT AFTER THE AMALEKITE 

ARMY.  THEY RESCUED THEIR FAMILIES EVERYTHING ELSE THAT 

THE AMALEKITES HAD TAKEN.



I Samuel 30:24-25  PG 430

For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his 

part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his 

part [be] that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part 

alike.

And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a 

statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

SOME OF THE 400 WHO HAD GONE WITH DAVID TO FIGHT SAID THAT 

THE PLUNDER SHOULD NOT BE SHARED WITH THE 200 WHO WERE TOO 

WEAK AND STAYED BACK WITH THE SUPPLIES.  NO WAY SAYS 

DAVID.  GOD GAVE US THE VICTORY.  ALL WILL SHARE EQUALLY 

AND HE MADE THIS A LAW.









APR 5  I SAMUEL 28 - II SAMUEL 1      PG 431 - 434



I Samuel 28:5-7  PG 431

And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was 

afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him 

not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that 

hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire 

of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a 

woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor.

SAUL KNEW ANY ATTEMPT TO CONTACT DEPARTED SPIRITS WAS 

EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN BY GOD.  PART OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY AS 

KING OF ISRAEL WAS TO PURGE THE LAND FROM THOSE WHO WOULD 

ENGAGE IN SUCH PRACTICES.  HOW BAD HAVE THINGS GOTTEN IN 

AMERICA WHEN THE FIRST LADY OPENLY BRAGS ABOUT HER 

CONVERSATIONS WITH ELEANOR ROOSEVELT?  GOD HAVE MERCY!



I Samuel 28:12   PG 431

And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud 

voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou 

deceived me? for thou [art] Saul.

THE WOMAN KNEW THIS WAS FOR REAL.  GOD SENT SAMUEL'S 

SPIRIT BACK FOR THIS OCCASION.



I Samuel 28:15-16 & 19  PG 431

And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to 

bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for 

the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed 

from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, 

nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou 

mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, 

seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine 

enemy?

Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into 

the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow [shalt] thou 

and thy sons [be] with me: the LORD also shall deliver the 

host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

SAMUEL TELLS SAUL HE AND HIS SONS WILL DIE TOMORROW.  SAUL 

HAS BECOME AN ENEMY OF GOD.



I Samuel 31:4  PG 432

Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and 

thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come 

and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer 

would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a 

sword, and fell upon it.

SAUL COMMITS SUICIDE.  THIS MATTER OF CONSULTING FAMILIAR 

SPIRITS IS SERIOUS SIN AND IT IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.  IT IS 

SAD TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING SUCKED INTO THESE 

OCCULT PRACTICES.  EVEN THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE TALKS ABOUT 

IT OPENLY.  THESE PEOPLE ARE TOO IGNORANT OF GOD'S WORD TO 

KNOW THAT THESE DEPARTED SPIRITS, THESE SPIRIT GUIDES, 

THESE ASCENDED MASTERS ARE DEMONS.  THESE BEINGS ARE 

CAPABLE OF DOING MOST ANYTHING TO SUCK PEOPLE INTO THIS.  

ONCE PEOPLE ARE SUCKED INTO THIS DEMONIC CONTACT IT IS 

ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO COME OUT ALIVE.  THE DEAD 

END OF THIS TRIP WITH THESE SPIRITS IS THE SECOND DEATH.



I Chronicles 10:13-14  PG 432

So Saul died for his transgression which he committed 

against the LORD, [even] against the word of the LORD, 

which he kept not, and also for asking [counsel] of [one 

that had] a familiar spirit, to inquire [of it];

And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and 

turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

THIS CONTACT OR VISUALIZATIONS WITH SPIRIT BEINGS IS NO 

SMALL MATTER.  THEY MAY COME AS ANGELS OF ENLIGHTENMENT 

BUT THEIR REAL GOAL IS TO KILL AND DESTROY THEIR IGNORANT 

UNWITTING VICTIMS AND LEAD THEM TO THE ULTIMATE SECOND 

DEATH OF HELL AND ITS ETERNAL TORMENT.  THE NEW AGE 

MOVEMENT IS NOT NEW AT ALL.  IT IS A RETURN TO THE OLD 

DARK AGES OF THE OCCULT.  PEOPLE SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW THE 

WORD OF GOD AND ARE GETTING SUCKED INTO THIS GARBAGE.



II Samuel 1:14-15  PG 433

And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to 

stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?

And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, 

[and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

AN AMALEKITE THOUGHT HE COULD MAKE SOME POINTS WITH DAVID 

BY FINISHING OFF SAUL AND BRINGING HIS CROWN TO DAVID.  

DAVID HAD HIM KILLED ON THE SPOT.



II Samuel 1:26  PG 434

I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very 

pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was 

wonderful, passing the love of women.

THERE HAVE BEEN SICK PERVERTS WHO WOULD SAY THAT THIS 

VERSE SPEAKS OF A HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DAVID 

AND JONATHAN.  THAT IS A SICK CRUDE ATTEMPT TO PERVERT 

THIS VERSE.  HOMOSEXUALITY IS GROSS SIN.  THERE IS NO WAY 

BUT THROUGH PERVERSION THAT ONE MAY FIND JUSTIFICATION FOR 

HOMOSEXUAL ACTS IN THE WORD OF GOD.  NEITHER DAVID OR 

JONATHAN WERE PERVERTS.









APR 6  II SAMUEL 2 - 4                PG 434 - 439



II Samuel 2:10  PG 435

Ish-bosheth Saul's son [was] forty years old when he began 

to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house 

of Judah followed David.

SAUL'S SON ISHBOSHETH ON THE BASIS OF ABNER'S STRENGTH WAS 

KING OVER ALL ISRAEL EXCEPT JUDAH OVER WHICH DAVID WAS 

KING.  SAMUEL HAD ANOINTED DAVID KING OF ISRAEL.  IT WOULD 

NOT TAKE LONG UNTIL DAVID WOULD BE KING OF ALL ISRAEL.



II Samuel 2:22-23  PG 435

And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from 

following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? 

how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?

Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the 

hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth [rib], 

that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down 

there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, 

[that] as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down 

and died stood still.

ABNER KILLED JOAB'S BROTHER ASAHAEL.  UNDER THE LAW JOAB 

WAS BOUND TO KILL ABNER.  THEY WERE COMMANDING GENERALS OF  

OPPOSING ARMIES.  JOAB WAS A DETERMINED MAN OF ACTION AND 

LOYALTY TO KING DAVID.



II Samuel 2:30-31  PG 436

And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had 

gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's 

servants nineteen men and Asahel.

But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of 

Abner's men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men 

died.

DAVID WAS CHOSEN BY GOD TO BE KING.  IT WAS OBVIOUS IN THE 

BATTLES BETWEEN THE TWO KINGS.  DAVID LOST 19 MEN WHILE 

ISHBOSHETH LOST 360 MEN.



II Samuel 3:2-5  PG 436

And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn 

was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;

And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the 

Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the 

daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;

And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the 

fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;

And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were 

born to David in Hebron.

DAVID NOW HAS SIX SONS AND 6 WIVES.  FAMILY PROBLEMS WOULD 

LIKELY HAVE HAPPENED EVEN IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE SINNED BY 

TAKING URIAH'S WIFE.  HIS FIRST WIFE, MICHAL, SAUL'S 

DAUGHTER, HAD BEEN TAKEN BY SAUL AND MARRIED TO PALTIEL.



II Samuel 3:7-11   PG 437

And Saul had a concubine, whose name [was] Rizpah, the 

daughter of Aiah: and [Ish-bosheth] said to Abner, 

Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?

Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, 

and said, [Am] I a dog's head, which against Judah do shew 

kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to 

his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered 

thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day 

with a fault concerning this woman?

So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD 

hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;

To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to 

set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, 

from Dan even to Beer-sheba.

And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he 

feared him.

HERE WE GET A GOOD PICTURE OF THE CHARACTER OF DAVID'S 

OPPONENTS.  ABNER IS AN OPPORTUNIST.  HE HAD AN AFFAIR 

WITH ONE OF SAUL'S CONCUBINES.  ISHBOSHETH CONFRONTED HIM 

REGARDING THE AFFAIR.  ABNER TELLS HIM THAT HE WILL 

DELIVER THE WHOLE KINGDOM TO DAVID.  ISHBOSHETH WAS A 

COWARD AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS THREAT.



II Samuel 3:12    PG 436

And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, 

Whose [is] the land? saying [also], Make thy league with 

me, and, behold, my hand [shall be] with thee, to bring 

about all Israel unto thee.

ABNER DOES PROCEED TO DELIVER THE KINGDOM TO DAVID.



II Samuel 3:13    PG 436

And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one 

thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my 

face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when 

thou comest to see my face.

DAVID FIRST REQUIRES THAT HIS WIFE MICHAL BE BROUGHT BACK 

TO HIM.  THIS WAS QUITE NECESSARY POLITICALLY.  DAVID HAD 

TO REMOVE ALL THRONE RIGHTS OF SAUL'S FAMILY.  IT WOULD BE 

NECESSARY TO SECURE A UNITED KINGDOM WITHOUT BLOODSHED.



II Samuel 3:23-24

When Joab and all the host that [was] with him were come, 

they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the 

king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.

Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? 

behold, Abner came unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast 

sent him away, and he is quite gone?

GENERAL JOAB HAD JUST RETURNED FROM A GREAT VICTORY TO 

FIND HIS ENEMY WHO HAD KILLED HIS BROTHER HAD BEEN TO 

VISIT HIS KING DAVID AND DAVID LET HIM GO IN PEACE.  THIS 

WAS A VERY HARD PILL FOR THE DILIGENT AND LOYAL GENERAL 

JOAB TO SWALLOW.



II Samuel 3:26  PG 437

And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers 

after Abner, which brought him again from the well of 

Sirah: but David knew [it] not.

And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside 

in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there 

under the fifth [rib], that he died, for the blood of 

Asahel his brother.

JOAB WASTES NO TIME IN AVENGING THE BLOOD OF HIS BROTHER 

BY KILLING ABNER.  WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THIS WAS A 

CORRECT THING FOR JOAB UNDER THE LAW.



II Samuel 3:35-37  PG 437-438

And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat 

while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to 

me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till 

the sun be down.

And all the people took notice [of it], and it pleased 

them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.

For all the people and all Israel understood that day that 

it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.

DAVID CURSED JOAB AND MOURNED THE DEATH OF ABNER.  ALL THE 

NATION OF ISRAEL WERE PLEASED TO HAVE DAVID AS THEIR KING.  

EVERYONE KNEW THAT JOAB HAD ACTED ON HIS OWN IN THE DEATH 

OF ABNER.



II Samuel 4:9-11  PG 438

And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons 

of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, [As] the 

LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all 

adversity,

When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking 

to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew 

him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I would have given him a 

reward for his tidings:

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous 

person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not 

therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you 

away from the earth?

THESE TWO THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET A REWARD FROM KING DAVID 

FOR MURDERING ISHBOSHETH.  DAVID KILLED THEM ON THE SPOT.



II Samuel 5:4    PG 439

David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and] 

he reigned forty years.

DAVID BEGAN TO REIGN AS KING AT AGE 3O AND TURNED THE 

KINGDOM OVER TO HIS SON SOLOMON AT AGE 70.



I Chronicles 12:38   PG 439

All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a 

perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all 

Israel: and all the rest also of Israel [were] of one 

heart to make David king.

ALL ISRAEL WAS GLADLY UNITED UNDER THE RIGHTEOUS REIGN OF 

KING DAVID.









APR 7  2 SAM 5:6 - 22:51 & PSALM 18  PG 439 - 443



II Samuel 5:10  PG 439

And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of 

hosts [was] with him.

EVERYONE COULD TELL BY THE WAY DAVID GREW GREAT THAT GOD 

WAS WITH HIM.  DAVID DID NOT PROSPER BY THE WAYS OF MEN.  

HE DID NOT RETURN EVIL FOR EVIL.  AS SAUL HUNTED HIM LIKE 

A DOG HE REMAINED FAITHFUL AND ALWAYS TRIED TO BE A 

BLESSING TO SAUL.  DO WE BLESS THOSE WHO PERSECUTE US?  

DAVID TRUSTED GOD SO COMPLETELY ANYONE COULD SEE THAT GOD 

WAS WITH HIM.



I Chronicles 13:8  PG 440

And David and all Israel played before God with all 

[their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with 

psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with 

trumpets.

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THAT YOU PRAISED GOD WITH ALL YOUR 

MIGHT?  DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS HOW WE MIGHT GET 

TOGETHER TO PRAISE GOD WITH ALL OF OUR MIGHT?



II Samuel 6:6-7  PG 440

And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put 

forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; 

for the oxen shook [it].  And the anger of the LORD was 

kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for [his] 

error; and there he died by the ark of God.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?   HOW COME THE PHILISTINES 

DID NOT GET KILLED WHEN THEY HANDLED THE ARK?



II Samuel 5:20  PG 441

And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them 

there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine 

enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he 

called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

DAVID IS ALWAYS SO AWARE THAT IT IS GOD WHO IS GIVING HIM 

THE VICTORIES OVER HIS ENEMIES.  DO I FIGHT MY ENEMIES OR 

DO I BLESS THEM AND TRUST GOD TO DELIVER ME FROM MY 

ENEMIES?



I Chronicles 14:17  PG 441

And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the 

LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

DAVID BECAME FAMOUS IN ALL LANDS - AND GOD MADE ALL THE 

NATIONS FEAR DAVID.



Psalms 18:2-3  PG 441

The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 

my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and 

the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.  I will 

call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so 

shall I be saved from mine enemies.

GOD IS OUR STRENGTH.  HE IS ALL WE NEED.  GOD PROTECTS US 

AND SAVES US FROM OUR ENEMIES.  WE SHOULD SEEK TO HAVE OUR 

HEARTS FILLED WITH CONTINUAL PRAISE AS DAVID WAS.



Psalms 18:25-27  PG 442

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an 

upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;  With the pure 

thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou 

wilt shew thyself froward.  For thou wilt save the 

afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

GOD'S CHARACTER IS TRUTH, MERCY, PURITY AND JUSTICE.  AS 

WE GROW AND PRACTICE THESE CHARACTER TRAITS IN OUR LIVES 

WE SEE MORE AND MORE OF GOD'S TRUTH AND MERCY.  GOD BRINGS 

DOWN THE PROUD AND LIFTS UP THE HUMBLE.  WHAT COULD BE 

MORE FOOLISH THAN TO TRY TO GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING WITH 

GOD.  WITH THE CROOKED GOD WILL SHOW HIMSELF SHREWD - AND 

NOBODY CAN STAND WHEN GOD SHOWS THEM HIS SHREWDNESS.



Psalms 18:30-36  PG 443

[As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD 

is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in 

him.  For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock 

save our God?  [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, 

and maketh my way perfect.  He maketh my feet like hinds' 

[feet], and setteth me upon my high places.  He teacheth 

my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine 

arms.  Thou hast also given me the shield of thy 

salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy 

gentleness hath made me great.  Thou hast enlarged my 

steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

GOD'S WAYS ARE PERFECT.  HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS.  HIS 

WAYS AND HIS THOUGHTS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR THOUGHTS.  OFTEN 

I FIND GOD'S WAY TO BE EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF THE WAY I WOULD 

NATURALLY BE INCLINED TO GO.  THIS IS WHY I NEED TO GET TO 

KNOW GOD BETTER THROUGH HIS WORD AND WHY I NEED IT EVERY 

DAY.  I WILL EITHER TRUST GOD OR I WILL LIVE IN FEAR AND 

FAILURE.



Psalms 18:46   PG 443

The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God 

of my salvation be exalted.

AMEN!!!   AMEN!!!









APR 8  2 SAM 6, 1 CHRON 15, 16, PS 105 & 96  PG 443 - 448



I Chronicles 15:1-2   PG 443 -444

And [David] made him houses in the city of David, and 

prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a 

tent.  Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God 

but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry 

the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

GOD CHOOSES HIS MINISTERS.  THIS POINT WAS INDELIBLY MADE 

WHEN UZZAIAH WAS KILLED FOR TOUCHING THE ARK.



I Chronicles 15:29  PG 445

And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the 

LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter 

of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and 

playing: and she despised him in her heart.

SHE DID NOT MAKE DAVID WELCOME.  HER WORDS WERE BITTER AND 

CUTTING.  DAVID RETURNED SHARPNESS FOR BEING PRUDISH WHERE 

GOD AND JOY IN THE LORD ARE CONCERNED.  SHE DIED 

CHILDLESS.



I Chronicles 16:2  PG 445

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt 

offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people 

in the name of the LORD.

DAVID DID NOT ACTUALLY MAKE THE SACRIFICES BUT HE 

AUTHORIZED THE PRIESTS TO DO IT.



Psalms 96:11-13  PG 448

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let 

the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.  Let the field be 

joyful, and all that [is] therein: then shall all the 

trees of the wood rejoice   Before the LORD: for he 

cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge 

the world with righteousness, and the people with his 

truth.

THE WHOLE CREATION IS GROANING AND LONGING FOR THE LORD TO 

COME BACK AND SET THINGS IN RIGHT ORDER.  HE IS COMING.  

WE NEED TO BE SURE WE ARE READY, BECAUSE HE IS COMING IN 

JUDGMENT AND HE WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE WITH HIS TRUTH.



I Chronicles 16:34  PG 448

O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good; for his 

mercy [endureth] for ever.

INDEED WE SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS INFINITE 

EVERLASTING MERCY.



I Chronicles 16:36  PG 448

Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And 

all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

ALL THE PEOPLE SAID AMEN AND PRAISED THE LORD.









APR 9  2 SAM 7, 1 CHRON 17  PG 448 - 451



II Samuel 6:20  PG 448

Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the 

daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How 

glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered 

himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his 

servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly 

uncovereth himself!

MANY A MAN HAS RETURNED HOME TO BLESS HIS FAMILY AND BEEN 

MET WITH THE OPPOSITE OF BLESSING FROM HIS WIFE OR OTHER 

MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.  THIS RIOT ACT FROM MICHAL WAS 

REALLY BAD.  MICHAL DIED CHILDLESS.



II Samuel 6:22  PG 448

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in 

mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast 

spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

DAVID SET HER STRAIGHT.  HE LET HER KNOW HE DIDN'T CARE 

WHO THOUGHT HIM UNDIGNIFIED WHEN HE WAS PRAISING GOD.  HE 

ONLY CARED THAT HE PRAISED GOD WITH ALL HIS MIGHT AND HE 

DIDN'T GIVE A RIP WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.  

GOOD MOTIVATION FOR US NOT TO SIT ON OUR HANDS WHEN WE ARE 

IN WORSHIP SERVICES.



II Samuel 9:7-8  PG 449

And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew 

thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will 

restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou 

shalt eat bread at my table continually.  And he bowed 

himself, and said, What [is] thy servant, that thou 

shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I [am]?

DAVID TAKES GOOD CARE OF JONATHAN'S CRIPPLED SON 

MEPHIBOSHETH.



II Samuel 7:7 In all [the places] wherein I have walked 

with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of 

the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people 

Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

NOWHERE IN SCRIPTURE DOES GOD REQUEST OR REQUIRE THAT HE 

HAVE FANCY BUILDINGS MADE FOR HIM.  WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF 

THIS IN CHURCH BUILDING PROGRAMS.  WOULD GOD NOT BE MORE 

PLEASED WITH CHURCH BUILDING MONEY BEING USED TO SPREAD 

THE GOSPEL AND FEED AND CLOTHE THE POOR?  SOLOMON'S TEMPLE 

WAS BUILT BY PERMISSION AS A FAVOR TO DAVID.  GOD WILL 

MAKE HIS OWN PERMANENT DWELLING PLACES SUCH AS NEW 

JERUSALEM A 1500 MILE CUBE THAT WOULD BE TECHNICALLY 

IMPOSSIBLE FOR MEN TO BUILD.



II Samuel 7:20-23 & 26 PG 450

And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, 

knowest thy servant.  For thy word's sake, and according 

to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, 

to make thy servant know [them].  Wherefore thou art 

great, O LORD God: for [there is] none like thee, neither 

[is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we 

have heard with our ears.  And what one nation in the 

earth [is] like thy people, [even] like Israel, whom God 

went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a 

name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy 

land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee 

from Egypt, [from] the nations and their gods?

II Samuel 7:26  And let thy name be magnified for ever, 

saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God over Israel: and 

let the house of thy servant David be established before 

thee.

DAVID'S PRIMARY MOTIVATION WAS TO GLORIFY GOD.  IS THIS 

THE NUMBER ONE MOTIVE IN MY LIFE?



II Samuel 7:28-29  PG 451

And now, O Lord GOD, thou [art] that God, and thy words be 

true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy 

servant:  Therefore now let it please thee to bless the 

house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before 

thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken [it]: and with thy 

blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

EVERYTHING IS NOT GOING TO BE PERFECT IN DAVID'S HOUSE.  

FAR FROM PERFECT BECAUSE OF SIN, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN 

PERFECT WITHOUT SIN, AND IT IS AN ETERNAL THRONE AND 

KINGDOM.



APR 10  2 SAM 11, 1 CHRON 19, PSALM 60, 51  PG 451 - 456



II Samuel 21:17   But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured 

him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the 

men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more 

out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of 

Israel.

DAVID'S REPUTATION AS AN INVINCIBLE MILITARY LEADER WAS A 

GREAT ASSET TO ISRAEL.  BECAUSE DAVID HAD A CLOSE CALL HIS 

ARMY WANTED HIM TO STAY AWAY FROM THE FRONT LINES.  THEY 

WANTED HIM JUST TO COME IN FOR THE MOP UP CAMPAIGNS.  THIS 

WOULD HAVE BEEN OK, IF DAVID HAD FOUND SOME OTHER WORK TO 

KEEP HIM BUSY.  WE WILL SOON SEE A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF HOW 

IDLENESS IS THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP.  ALSO WE NEED TO 

QUESTION THE FAITH OF THE MEN IN DAVID'S ARMY.



I Chronicles 19:12-13  PG 452

And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then 

thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too 

strong for thee, then I will help thee.  Be of good 

courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our 

people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do 

[that which is] good in his sight.

DAVID'S GENERALS WERE GOOD MILITARY STRATEGISTS AND VERY 

COURAGEOUS.



I Chronicles 19:19   PG 453

And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put 

to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, 

and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help 

the children of Ammon any more.

DAVID'S ARMIES CONQUER AND ESTABLISH PEACE WITH STRONG 

NATIONS WHICH ISRAEL HAD NEVER BEFORE BEEN ABLE TO 

CONQUER.



Psalms 60:4   PG 453

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it 

may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

THIS VERSE MARKS A CHANGE IN DAVID'S ATTITUDE FROM DESPAIR 

TO VICTORY.  DAVID NOW CHOOSES TO RAISE THE BANNER OF 

VICTORY INSTEAD OF DEFEAT.  THE ENSIGN OF ISRAEL IN THE 

LAST DAYS WILL BE MESSIAH HIMSELF.



II Samuel 11:1-2  PG 453

And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the 

time when kings go forth [to battle], that David sent 

Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they 

destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But 

David tarried still at Jerusalem.  And it came to pass in 

an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and 

walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the 

roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman [was] 

very beautiful to look upon.

DAVID PROBABLY HAD NOT DONE A GOOD ENOUGH DAYS WORK TO BE 

ABLE TO SLEEP SOUNDLY.  IDLENESS AND NOT BEING WITH THE 

TROOPS, LEADS DAVID INTO TEMPTATION.



II Samuel 11:4-5   PG 454

And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in 

unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from 

her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.  And the 

woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I [am] 

with child.

DAVID COMMITS ADULTERY.



II Samuel 11:11   PG 454

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, 

abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my 

lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go 

into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my 

wife? [as] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will 

not do this thing.

DAVID BRINGS BATHSHEBA'S HUSBAND HOME FROM THE FRONT LINES 

AND TRIES TO GET HIM TO HELP COVER DAVID'S SIN OF ADULTERY 

BUT URIAH IS A GOOD MAN AND WILL NOT VIOLATE GOD'S LAW 

REGARDING MILITARY SERVICE EVEN WHEN ENCOURAGED TO DO SO 

BY THE KING.



II Samuel 11:15   PG 454

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the 

forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, 

that he may be smitten, and die.

DAVID MURDERS URIAH TO COVER HIS SIN OF ADULTERY.



II Samuel 12:5-13  PG 455

And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and 

he said to Nathan, [As] the LORD liveth, the man that hath 

done this [thing] shall surely die:  And he shall restore 

the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because 

he had no pity.  And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the 

man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee 

king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of 

Saul; And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's 

wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel 

and of Judah; and if [that had been] too little, I would 

moreover have given unto thee such and such things.  

Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, 

to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the 

Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife [to be] 

thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the 

children of Ammon.  Now therefore the sword shall never 

depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, 

and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy 

wife.  Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil 

against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy 

wives before thine eyes, and give [them] unto thy 

neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of 

this sun.  For thou didst [it] secretly: but I will do 

this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.  And 

David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. 

And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away 

thy sin; thou shalt not die.

NATHAN THE PROPHET CONFRONTS DAVID WITH HIS SINS.  WILL 

YOU NOTICE THAT THE PRIMARY JOB OF THE PROPHET AHEAD OF 

PREDICTING THE FUTURE IS TO DISCLOSE HIDDEN SIN AND PREACH 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

I Corinthians 14:22-25

Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that 

believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying 

[serveth] not for them that believe not, but for them 

which believe.  If therefore the whole church be come 

together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and 

there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, 

will they not say that ye are mad?  But if all prophesy, 

and there come in one that believeth not, or [one] 

unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:

And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and 

so falling down on [his] face he will worship God, and 

report that God is in you of a truth.

I Corinthians 14:1-3

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but 

rather that ye may prophesy.  For he that speaketh in an 

[unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for 

no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he 

speaketh mysteries.  But he that prophesieth speaketh unto 

men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

WILL YOU NOTICE HOW DAVID RESPONDS TO THE PROPHET.  ANY 

OTHER KING WOULD HAVE KILLED NATHAN.  DAVID GOES ON HIS 

FACE IN REPENTANCE.  HOW DO I RESPOND WHEN MY BROTHER 

CONFRONTS ME WITH MY SIN.  DO WE SEE THIS TYPE OF JOB 1 

PROPHETIC MINISTRY IN THE CHURCH TODAY?  DO WE NEED THE 

MINISTRY OF THE PROPHET TO DISCLOSE HIDDEN SINS IN OUR 

CONGREGATIONS TODAY?  MOST IMPORTANTLY WILL WE RESPOND AS 

DAVID RESPONDED WHEN THE PROPHET DISCLOSES THAT SIN THAT 

WE HAVE TRIED TO COVER?



Psalms 51:1-12  455 - 456

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy 

lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender 

mercies blot out my transgressions.  Wash me throughly 

from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.  For I 

acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever before 

me.  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done 

[this] evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified 

when thou speakest, [and] be clear when thou judgest.  

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother 

conceive me.  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward 

parts: and in the hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know 

wisdom.  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash 

me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  Make me to hear joy 

and gladness; [that] the bones [which] thou hast broken 

may rejoice.  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all 

mine iniquities.  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and 

renew a right spirit within me.  Cast me not away from thy 

presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.   Restore 

unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] 

free spirit.

WHAT A GREAT PRAYER OF REPENTANCE.  NOTICE HOW THIS PRAYER 

OF REPENTANCE SPRINGS IMMEDIATELY FROM THE HEART OF DAVID.



Psalms 51:16-17

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: 

thou delightest not in burnt offering.  The sacrifices of 

God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, 

O God, thou wilt not despise.

WE CAN NOT APPEASE GOD BY DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE UP TO HIM 

FOR OUR SINS.  PRAISE GOD FOR JESUS DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE 

FOR US ALL.  HOWEVER, WE STILL MUST AGREE WITH GOD THAT WE 

WERE WRONG.  WE MUST AGREE THAT WE MUST TURN AWAY FROM THE 

SIN.



II Samuel 12:13-17   And David said unto Nathan, I have 

sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The 

LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.  

Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great 

occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the 

child also [that is] born unto thee shall surely die.

And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck 

the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was 

very sick.  David therefore besought God for the child; 

and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the 

earth.  And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to 

him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, 

neither did he eat bread with them.

GOD FORGIVES OUR SIN, YET THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN 

THAT WE MAY NOT ESCAPE.  IF WE COULD REALLY SEE THE FULL 

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE AND TOTAL CONSEQUENCES OF SIN WE 

WOULD NOT BE SO EASILY TEMPTED.









APR 11  2 SAM 8, 1 CHRON 11  PG 456 - 460



II Samuel 12:21-23   PG 457

When said his servants unto him, What thing [is] this that 

thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, 

[while it was] alive; but when the child was dead, thou 

didst rise and eat bread.  And he said, While the child 

was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell 

[whether] GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may 

live?   But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I 

bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not 

return to me.

DAVID KNEW THAT GOD NEVER INTENDS FOR BAD THINGS TO 

HAPPEN.  BAD THINGS ARE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF 

OUR EVIL CHOICES.  DAVID KNEW THAT GOD MIGHT PREVENT THE 

CHILD'S DEATH.  DAVID KNEW HOW GRACIOUS GOD IS.



II Samuel 12:27-28  PG 457

And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought 

against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.  Now 

therefore gather the rest of the people together, and 

encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the 

city, and it be called after my name.

GENERAL JOAB IS A DANDY.  HE HAS FOUGHT AND WON THE 

VICTORY BUT HE DOESN'T WANT THE GLORY OF VICTORY FOR 

HIMSELF HE WANTS HIS KING TO CLAIM THE VICTORY.  HE KNOWS 

THIS WILL INCREASE THE FEAR OF THE ARMIES OF DAVID AND 

HELP HIM IN HIS FUTURE BATTLES.  WE NEED TO SEEK THE SORT 

OF SERVANTS HEART ATTITUDE ILLUSTRATED HERE BY GENERAL 

JOAB.



II Samuel 8:6   PG 458

Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the 

Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And 

the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

GOD TOOK CARE OF DAVID AND GAVE VICTORIES THAT NO OTHER 

LEADER OF ISRAEL COULD ACHIEVE.



II Samuel 8:11  PG 458

Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the 

silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which 

he subdued;

THIS IS HOW SOLOMON'S TEMPLE WAS FINANCED.



II Samuel 23:15-17  PG 458

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me 

drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which [is] 

by the gate!   And the three mighty men brake through the 

host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of 

Beth-lehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and 

brought [it] to David: nevertheless he would not drink 

thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.  And he said, Be 

it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: [is not 

this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their 

lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did 

these three mighty men.

THIS SHOWS WHAT KIND OF LEADER DAVID WAS.  MAKING AN IDLE 

COMMENT OF HOW GOOD IT WOULD BE TO HAVE A DRINK FROM THE 

WATERS OF BETHLEHEM, 3 MEN RISK THEIR LIVES GOING THROUGH 

THE ENEMY LINES (BACK AND FORTH) TO GET THIS DRINK FOR 

DAVID.  NO WAY WOULD HE DRINK IT OR CONDONE SUCH RISK.  IT 

JUST SHOWED HOW HIS MEN ESTEEMED HIM.













APR 12  2 SAM 13, 14     PG 460 - 463



II Samuel 12:24-25  PG 460

And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto 

her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called 

his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.  And he sent by 

the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name 

Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

COULD PREDESTINATION BE SUPPORTED BY THESE VERSES?



II Samuel 13:11-14   PG 461

And when she had brought [them] unto him to eat, he took 

hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my 

sister.  And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not 

force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do 

not thou this folly.  And I, whither shall I cause my 

shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the 

fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto 

the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.  Howbeit 

he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger 

than she, forced her, and lay with her.

DAVID'S SON AMNON RAPES ABSALOM'S SISTER, HIS HALF SISTER 

TAMAR.



II Samuel 13:28-29  PG 462

Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye 

now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say 

unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I 

commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.  And the 

servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had 

commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man 

gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

ABSALOM MURDERS AMNON.



II Samuel 13:38-39

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three 

years.  And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth 

unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, 

seeing he was dead.

ABSALOM WAS IN EXILE FOR 3 YEARS AND IN EFFECT DAVID LOST 

2 SONS.  DAVID LOVED BOTH AMNON AND ABSALOM.



II Samuel 14:12-14  PG 463

Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, 

speak [one] word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say 

on.  And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought 

such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth 

speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king 

doth not fetch home again his banished.  For we must needs 

die, and [are] as water spilt on the ground, which cannot 

be gathered up again; neither doth God respect [any] 

person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not 

expelled from him.

GENERAL JOAB KNOWS HIS KING MISSES HIS SON AND HIRES A 

WOMAN TO MAKE THE POINT TO DAVID THAT IT WAS TIME FOR HIM 

TO BRING ABSALOM BACK FORM EXILE.



II Samuel 14:19   PG 463

And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with thee in 

all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul 

liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand 

or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath 

spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all 

these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:

DAVID RECOGNIZES THE TACTICS OF HIS GENERAL JOAB.









APR 13  2 SAM 15, 16   PSALM 3            PG 463 - 467



II Samuel 15:3-6  PG 464

And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters [are] good and 

right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear 

thee.  Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in 

the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause 

might come unto me, and I would do him justice!   And it 

was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to do him 

obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed 

him.  And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that 

came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts 

of the men of Israel.

ABSALOM BEGINS HIS POLITICKING TO SUBVERT HIS FATHER.  HE 

WANTS TO BE KING.  HIS METHOD IS TO TELL EVERYONE COMING 

TO THE CAPITOL CITY THAT THE KING HAS NO TIME TO HEAR HIS 

CASE.  HE TELLS THEM THAT THEIR CAUSE IS JUST AND THAT IF 

HE WERE JUDGE THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED A FAVORABLE VERDICT 

BUT AS LONG AS HIS FATHER IS KING THEY WILL NOT EVEN GET A 

CHANCE TO BE HEARD.  BY THIS TECHNIQUE HE STOLE THE 

LOYALTY OF THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM HIS FATHER.  WHAT WAS 

DAVID DOING WHILE ALL THIS WAS GOING ON?



II Samuel 15:31  PG 466

And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the 

conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray 

thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

CAN WE SEE THE WISDOM IN HOW DAVID HANDLES HIS ENEMIES?

HE ASKS FOR GOD TO INTERVENE.



II Samuel 16:7-12  PG 466

And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, 

thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:  The LORD hath 

returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in 

whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered 

the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, 

thou [art taken] in thy mischief, because thou [art] a 

bloody man.  Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the 

king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let 

me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.  And the 

king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? 

so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, 

Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done 

so?   And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, 

Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my 

life: how much more now [may this] Benjamite [do it]? let 

him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden 

him.  It may be that the LORD will look on mine 

affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his 

cursing this day.

THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF WE COULD CONDUCT OURSELVES 

AS DAVID DOES HERE.  WHAT DO I DO WHEN SOMEONE CURSES AND 

INSULTS ME?  DO I LET GOD TAKE CARE OF IT OR DO I TAKE OFF 

THE PERSON'S HEAD.  DAVID'S WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY.  MY WAY 

IS THE WRONG WAY.



Psalms 3:1-8  PG 467

LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] 

they that rise up against me.  Many [there be] which say 

of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the 

lifter up of mine head.  I cried unto the LORD with my 

voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained 

me.  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that 

have set [themselves] against me round about.  Arise, O 

LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine 

enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth 

of the ungodly.  Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy 

blessing [is] upon thy people. Selah.

THIS IS A GREAT PSALM AND IS WORTH MEMORIZING.  IT IS 

PROBABLY MUCH EASIER TO MEMORIZE IN THE KING JAMES 

VERSION.  GOD IS OUR SHIELD, OUR GLORY AND THE LIFTER OF 

OUR HEADS.  WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR IF GOD IS FOR US.









APR 14  II SAMUEL 16 - 18              PG 467 - 471



II Samuel 16:21-22  PR 467

And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's 

concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all 

Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: 

then shall the hands of all that [are] with thee be 

strong.  So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the 

house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in 

the sight of all Israel.

WE SEE THAT THE PROPHESY GIVEN BY NATHAN TO DAVID WHEN HE 

WAS CONFRONTED WITH HIS SIN  OF ADULTERY AND MURDER IS 

FULFILLED HERE.  WE ALSO SEE THAT GOD ANSWERS DAVID'S 

PRAYER THAT AHITHOPHEL'S COUNCIL TO ABSALOM BE TURNED TO 

FOOLISHNESS.

II Samuel 17:7-10  PG 468

And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel 

hath given [is] not good at this time.  For, said Hushai, 

thou knowest thy father and his men, that they [be] mighty 

men, and they [be] chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed 

of her whelps in the field: and thy father [is] a man of 

war, and will not lodge with the people.  Behold, he is 

hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will 

come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the 

first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a 

slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.  And he 

also [that is] valiant, whose heart [is] as the heart of a 

lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy 

father [is] a mighty man, and [they] which [be] with him 

[are] valiant men.

HUSHAI GIVES GOOD COUNCIL.  HE COULD NOT HELP BUT GIVE 

WISER COUNCIL THAN THE FOOLISHNESS THAT AHITOPHEL WAS 

GIVING.



II Samuel 17:14  PG 468

And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of 

Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of 

Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good 

counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might 

bring evil upon Absalom.

THE LORD IS IN CONTROL NO MATTER HOW IT MAY SEEM.



II Samuel 17:23  PG 469

And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, 

he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and gat him home to his 

house, to his city, and put his household in order, and 

hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre 

of his father.

AHITHOPHEL THE TRAITOR COMMITS SUICIDE WHEN HIS FOOLISH 

COUNCIL IS NOT FOLLOWED.



II Samuel 18:3-4  PG 469

But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if 

we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half 

of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth 

ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] better that thou 

succour us out of the city.  And the king said unto them, 

What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the 

gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by 

thousands.

DAVID'S MEN WERE LOYAL, COURAGEOUS, AND BRILLIANT MILITARY 

STRATEGISTS.  DAVID AGREES TO STAY OFF THE FRONT LINES AS 

MORE TO PROTECT HIS MEN THAN TO PROTECT HIMSELF.  ALL 

ISRAEL STILL FEARED THE MILITARY REPUTATION OF DAVID.  AND 

DAVID WAS THE TARGET NOT HIS MEN.



II Samuel 18:8-11  PG 469 - 470

For the battle was there scattered over the face of all 

the country: and the wood devoured more people that day 

than the sword devoured.  And Absalom met the servants of 

David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went 

under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught 

hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven 

and the earth; and the mule that [was] under him went 

away.  And a certain man saw [it], and told Joab, and 

said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.  And Joab 

said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest 

[him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the 

ground? And I would have given thee ten [shekels] of 

silver, and a girdle.



II Samuel 18:14-15  PG 470

Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he 

took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the 

heart of Absalom, while he [was] yet alive in the midst of 

the oak.  And ten young men that bare Joab's armour 

compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.

GOD HANGS ABSALOM BY HIS PRETTY HAIR AND JOAB FINISHES HIM 

OFF.  WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT JOAB DID?



II Samuel 18:29  PG 471

And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And 

Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and 

[me] thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not 

what [it was].

DAVID WAS SO CONCERNED ABOUT ABSALOM BECAUSE HE KNEW 

ABSALOM WAS IN GREAT SIN AND DAVID WAS FEARFUL THAT HIS 

SON WOULD DIE IN HIS SIN.



II Samuel 18:33  PG 471

And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber 

over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O 

my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had 

died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

DAVID WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE DIED THAN ABSALOM.  DAVID 

KNEW HE WOULD BE GATHERED WITH ABRAHAM AND THE OTHER 

SAINTS WHEN HE DIED AND HE ALSO KNEW THAT ABSALOM WOULD BE 

GOING TO HELL IF HE WERE TO DIE IN HIS SINS WITHOUT 

REPENTANCE.



II Samuel 19:1-4  PG 471

And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and 

mourneth for Absalom.  And the victory that day was 

[turned] into mourning unto all the people: for the people 

heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.

And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, 

as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in 

battle.  But the king covered his face, and the king cried 

with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my 

son!

DAVID'S GRIEF OVER ABSALOM'S DEATH WAS REMOVING ANY 

POSSIBLE JOY OF VICTORY.  JOAB KNOWS HE HAS GOT TO GET HIS 

KING STRAIGHTENED OUT OR ELSE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER 

REBELLION.









APR 15  II SAMUEL 19 - 20              PG 471 - 475



II Samuel 19:5-7  pg 471

And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou 

hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which 

this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons 

and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the 

lives of thy concubines;  In that thou lovest thine 

enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared 

this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor 

servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had 

lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased 

thee well.  Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak 

comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if 

thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this 

night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil 

that befell thee from thy youth until now.

JOAB SETS THE KING STRAIGHT.  SOMETIMES WE NEED LOYAL 

LOVING FRIENDS TO TELL US THE KIND OF TRUTH THAT HURTS.  

WITH THE BLUNTNESS OF A GENERAL HE LETS DAVID KNOW THAT HE 

MUST STOP GRIEVING FOR ABSALOM AND BE THE VICTORIOUS KING 

AND CELEBRATE WITH THE TROOPS.  IF DAVID HAD NOT TAKEN 

JOAB'S ADVICE IT WAS LIKELY THAT ANOTHER REBELLION WITH 

MORE BLOODSHED WOULD HAVE STARTED.



II Samuel 19:21-23  PG 472

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall 

not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the 

LORD'S anointed?  And David said, What have I to do with 

you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be 

adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death 

this day in Israel? for do not I know that I [am] this day 

king over Israel?  Therefore the king said unto Shimei, 

Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.

IS THERE ANY OTHER KING BESIDES DAVID WHO WOULD NOT HAVE 

EXECUTED SHIMEI?  WE NEED THIS TYPE OF MERCIFUL ATTITUDE 

TOWARD OUR ENEMIES.



II Samuel 19:26 - 30  PG 472

And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: 

for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may 

ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant [is] 

lame.  And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the 

king; but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God: do 

therefore [what is] good in thine eyes.  For all [of] my 

father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: 

yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at 

thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry 

any more unto the king?   And the king said unto him, Why 

speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou 

and Ziba divide the land.  And Mephibosheth said unto the 

king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king 

is come again in peace unto his own house.

DAVID CONTINUES TO TAKE CARE OF MEPHIBOSHETH.  DAVID IS A 

PEACEMAKER.  DAVID PROBABLY MARKED ZIBA'S UNFAITHFULNESS 

TO MEPHIBOSHETH, BUT HE TAKES A PEACEFUL PATH WITHOUT 

BLOODSHED.



II Samuel 20:3  PG 473

And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king 

took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to 

keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but 

went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day 

of their death, living in widowhood.

ABSALOM HAD PUBLICLY DEFILED THESE WOMEN.  DAVID MADE 

PROVISION FOR THEIR CARE.



II Samuel 20:22-23   PG 474 - 475

Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And 

they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast 

[it] out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired 

from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to 

Jerusalem unto the king.  Now Joab [was] over all the host 

of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the 

Cherethites and over the Pelethites:

WE NEED MORE WISE WOMEN TO HELP STOP THE BLOODSHED IN THIS 

WORLD.  JOAB GETS THE JOB DONE WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF 

BLOODSHED.  DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS TO SHARE ABOUT THIS 

WISE WOMAN OR GENERAL JOAB?









APR 16  2 SAMUEL 21 1 CHRON 22  PSALM 30   PG 475 - 480



II Samuel 21:1 PG 475

Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, 

year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the 

LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody 

house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

GOD EXPECTS HIS PEOPLE'S PROMISES TO BE KEPT.  WHAT DO YOU 

THINK ABOUT THIS?



II Samuel 24:1-4   PG 476

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against 

Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number 

Israel and Judah.  For the king said to Joab the captain 

of the host, which [was] with him, Go now through all the 

tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number 

ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.

And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto 

the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and 

that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]: but why 

doth my lord the king delight in this thing?  

Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, 

and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the 

captains of the host went out from the presence of the 

king, to number the people of Israel.

HOW ABOUT GENERAL JOAB?  WHY DID DAVID DO THIS AND WHY WAS 

IT SO SINFUL?



II Samuel 24:10  PG 477

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the 

people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned 

greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O 

LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have 

done very foolishly.

DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.  WE HAVE SEEN HIS 

FAITH.  WE HAVE SEEN HIS COURAGE.  WE HAVE SEEN HOW HIS 

PRIMARY MOTIVATION WAS GOD'S GLORY.  WHAT IS REALLY MOST 

IMPORTANT ABOUT DAVID'S CHARACTER THAT MAKES HIM SINGLED 

OUT AS THE MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART?  (INSTANT REPENTANCE 

DID NOT COVER HIS SIN).



II Samuel 24:13-17  PG 477

So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, 

Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or 

wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while 

they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence 

in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall 

return to him that sent me.  And David said unto Gad, I am 

in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the 

LORD; for his mercies [are] great: and let me not fall 

into the hand of man.  So the LORD sent a pestilence upon 

Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and 

there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba 

seventy thousand men.  And when the angel stretched out 

his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented 

him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the 

people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel 

of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the 

Jebusite.  And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the 

angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, 

and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they 

done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and 

against my father's house.

DAVID REALLY KNEW GOD.  "LET US FALL NOW INTO THE HANDS OF 

THE LORD FOR HIS MERCIES ARE GREAT"



I Chronicles 22:5  PG 478

And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and 

the house [that is] to be builded for the LORD [must be] 

exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all 

countries: I will [therefore] now make preparation for it. 

So David prepared abundantly before his death.

DAVID WANTED TO BUILD THE MOST MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE EVER 

BUILT BY MAN FOR HIS GOD.  HE WAS NOT PERMITTED BECAUSE OF 

ALL THE BLOOD WHICH HE HAD SHED.  HE ABUNDANTLY PREPARED 

FOR HIS SON TO DO IT.



I Chronicles 22:7-14  PG 478 - 479

And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my 

mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast 

shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou 

\halt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast 

shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.  Behold, a son 

shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I 

will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for 

his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and 

quietness unto Israel in his days.  He shall build an 

house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I [will be] 

his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 

over Israel for ever.  Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; 

and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, 

as he hath said of thee.  Only the LORD give thee wisdom 

and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, 

that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.  Then 

shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the 

statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with 

concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread 

not, nor be dismayed.  Now, behold, in my trouble I have 

prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand 

talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of 

silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in 

abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou 

mayest add thereto.

VERSE 12 "ONLY THE LORD GIVE THEE WISDOM AND 

UNDERSTANDING... WHEN GOD TOLD SOLOMON HE COULD ASK FOR 

ANYTHING - HIS FATHER DAVID HAD ALREADY TOLD HIM WHAT WAS 

THE MOST PRECIOUS THING TO ASK OF GOD.  WISDOM - GOD'S 

WISDOM.  DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD TO KNOW THAT IS 

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT WHEN WE ARE STUDYING GOD'S WORD.



Psalms 30:4-5  Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and 

give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.  For his 

anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: 

weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the 

morning.

HIS ANGER LASTS JUST A MOMENT - WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A 

NIGHT BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING



Psalms 30:8-12  PG  I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the 

LORD I made supplication.   What profit [is there] in my 

blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise 

thee? shall it declare thy truth?   Hear, O LORD, and have 

mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.  Thou hast turned 

for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my 

sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;   To the end that 

[my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O 

LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

I WILL GIVE THANKS TO THEE FOREVER.









APR 17  1 CHRON 23, 24, 25, & 26    PG 480 - 485



DAVID HOLDS A NATIONAL CONVENTION AND ORGANIZES ALL THE 

LEADERS TO MAKE AN ORDERLY TRANSFER OF POWER FROM HIM TO 

HIS SON SOLOMON AND TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE CONSTRUCTION OF 

THE TEMPLE WILL BE DONE IN HIS SON'S REIGN.









APR 18  1 CHRON 26, 27, 28, & 29    PG 485 - 490



I Chronicles 27:32 PG 487

Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, 

and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni [was] with 

the king's sons:

NOTHING WRONG WITH NEPOTISM WHEN THE RELATIVE HAS 

QUALIFICATIONS.  DAVID'S UNCLE WAS A WISE MAN AND A 

SCRIBE.  PERHAPS DAVID'S UNCLE JONATHAN WROTE DOWN SOME OF 

THE PSALMS THAT DAVID WOULD COMPOSE AND SING.



I Chronicles 27:33  PG 488

And Ahithophel [was] the king's counsellor: and Hushai the 

Archite [was] the king's companion:

AHITHOPHEL WAS THE KINGS ADVISOR BUT HUSHAI WAS THE KING'S 

FRIEND.  WHEN ABSALOM REVOLTED AHITHOPHEL JOINED THE 

REVOLT TO KEEP HIS BIG JOB COUNSELOR JOB.  GOD TURNED 

AHITHOPHEL'S COUNCIL TO FOOLISHNESS.  HUSHAI REMAINED 

LOYAL TO DAVID AND DAVID HAD TO ORDER HUSHAI TO STAY WITH 

ABSALOM.



I Chronicles 27:34 And after Ahithophel [was] Jehoiada the 

son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the 

king's army [was] Joab.

JOAB WAS THE GENERAL.  I THINK JOAB IS FANTASTIC.  I CAN 

REALLY RELATE TO JOAB.  CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY BLIND 

SPOTS REGARDING JOAB?  MAYBE YOU HAVE RECOGNIZED 

IMPERFECTIONS IN JOAB THAT I WOULD EXCUSE OR RATIONALIZE.  

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JOAB?









APR 19  PSALM 5, 6, 10, & 11        PG 490 - 495



Psalms 5:1-3  PG 491

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.  

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for 

unto thee will I pray.  My voice shalt thou hear in the 

morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] 

unto thee, and will look up.

THE MORNING IS A GREAT TIME TO PRAY.  TO BEGIN A DAY 

THINKING OF THINGS FOR WHICH TO THANK HIM AND TO ASK HIS 

BLESSING AND DIRECTIONS FOR THE DAY WHICH IS BEFORE YOU.  

THIS HAS BEEN PUT INTO SONG IN A POPULAR CHRISTIAN MUSIC 

ALBUM.



Psalms 5:6  PG 492

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will 

abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

GOD ABHORS DECEITFUL MEN.



Psalms 5:11  PG 492

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: 

let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: 

let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

THERE IS NO OTHER GOOD PLACE TO PUT YOUR TRUST.  THERE IS 

NO DEFENSE LIKE WHEN GOD DEFENDS YOU.



Psalms 6:1  PG 492

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me 

in thy hot displeasure.

NOTHING COULD BE MORE FEARFUL THAN THE WRATH OF GOD.



Psalms 6:2   PG 492

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal 

me; for my bones are vexed.

I NEED TO BE MORE AWARE OF MY WEAKNESS BECAUSE HIS 

STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.



Psalms 6:4  PG 492

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy 

mercies' sake.

WHAT A PROPER AND PROFOUND PRAYER IS CONTAINED IN THIS 

VERSE.  SAVE ME AS A DEMONSTRATION OF YOUR INFINITE  

MERCY.



Psalms 6:6 PG 492

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed 

to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

SOMETIMES WE CAN BE SO OVERWHELMED THAT WE CANNOT SLEEP.  

ONLY GOD CAN HELP WITH SOME OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS.



Psalms 6:9  PG 493

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive 

my prayer.

IT IS FANTASTIC WHEN YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS HEARD YOUR 

PRAYER.  THE PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING.



Psalms 10:2  PG 494

The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let 

them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

PRIDE IS SOMETHING WITH WHICH EVERYONE MUST DEAL.  DAVID 

IS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THE 

HEART OF GOD SO WELL.  WE SEE GOD'S PERSPECTIVE OF THE 

EXCEEDING WICKEDNESS OF THE PROUD OF WHO WOULD PERSECUTE 

THE POOR.  GOD HIMSELF IS THE DEFENDER OF THE POOR.  

APPROXIMATELY 200 TIMES IN SCRIPTURES WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO 

HAVE COMPASSION ON THE POOR.  WHAT DOES GOD NEED FROM US?  

THE ANSWER IS NOTHING?  IN FACT THE ONLY TANGIBLE WAY OF 

GIVING SOMETHING TO GOD IS TO GIVE TO THE POOR.  LOOK AT  

Isaiah 58:6-11 [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? 

to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy 

burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye 

break every yoke?   [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the 

hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to 

thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; 

and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?  Then 

shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine 

health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness 

shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy 

rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; 

thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou 

take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting 

forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;  And [if] thou 

draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted 

soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy 

darkness [be] as the noon day:  And the LORD shall guide 

thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and 

make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered 

garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.





Psalms 10:3  PG 494

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and 

blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.

GOD ABHORS THE COVETOUS.



Psalms 10:4   PG 494

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not 

seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.

GOD IS NOT IN THE THOUGHTS OF THE WICKED.  THE THOUGHTS OF 

THE WICKED ARE CONSUMED IN SELFISHNESS.



Psalms 10:7-10  PG 494

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under 

his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.  He sitteth in the 

lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth 

he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against 

the poor.  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: 

he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the 

poor, when he draweth him into his net.  He croucheth, 

[and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his 

strong ones.  He hath said in his heart, God hath 

forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see [it].

ONE WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER DEFINITION OF 

THE WICKED.  GOD DOES SEE.  GOD WILL NOT FORGET.  PAYBACK 

IS HELL.



Psalms 11:5-7  PG 495

The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that 

loveth violence his soul hateth.  Upon the wicked he shall 

rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: 

[this shall be] the portion of their cup.  For the 

righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth 

behold the upright.

GOD TESTS THE RIGHTEOUS.  GOD HATES THOSE THAT LOVE 

VIOLENCE.









APR 20  PSALM 13, 17, 23, 26, 28, & 31   PG 495 - 500



Psalms 13:5-6  PG 495

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in 

thy salvation.  I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath 

dealt bountifully with me.

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS MERCY, SALVATION, AND GOODNESS



Psalms 17:6-9  PG 496

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: 

incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.  Shew thy 

marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right 

hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that 

rise up [against them].  Keep me as the apple of the eye, 

hide me under the shadow of thy wings, From the wicked 

that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] compass 

me about.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BETTER THAN TO BE THE APPLE OF 

GOD'S EYE.



Psalms 23 The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalms 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he 

leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalms 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the 

paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the 

shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with 

me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Psalms 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the 

presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; 

my cup runneth over.

Psalms 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all 

the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the 

LORD for ever.

PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE HAVE MEMORIZED THIS PSALM THAN ANY 

OTHER.  IT IS SHORT AND CERTAINLY WORTH MEMORIZING.



Psalms 28:6-7

Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of 

my supplications.  The LORD [is] my strength and my 

shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: 

therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song 

will I praise him.

THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH.  IF THE LORD TRULY IS YOUR 

STRENGTH THAN YOU TRULY ARE STRONG.  OTHERWISE YOU ONLY 

THINK YOU ARE STRONG.  GOD'S STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN 

WEAKNESS.



Psalms 31:14-20  PG 499

But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.

31:15 My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand 

of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

31:16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for 

thy mercies' sake.

31:17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called 

upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be 

silent in the grave.

31:18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak 

grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the 

righteous.

31:19 [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast 

laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought 

for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence 

from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a 

pavilion from the strife of tongues.

31:16 - SAVE ME FOR THY MERCY'S SAKE, I AM LIVING PROOF OF 

THE INFINITE MERCY OF GOD.  IF GOD CAN BE MERCIFUL TO ME 

HE CAN HAVE MERCY ON ANYONE.



Psalms 31:23-24

O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD 

preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the 

proud doer.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, 

all ye that hope in the LORD.

BE OF GOOD COURAGE ALL YE THAT HOPE IN THE LORD..









APR 21  PSALM 35, 41, 43, 46, 55         PG 500 - 504



Psalms 35:3   PG 500

say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.

SOMETIMES WE CAN FEEL SO BADLY THAT WE THINK WE HAVE 

PUSHED BEYOND THE LIMITS OF GOD'S PATIENCE.  BUT HIS MERCY 

ENDURES FOREVER.  THERE IS ONLY ONE UNPARDONABLE SIN.  GOD 

IS OUR SALVATION.  WE DO NOT SAVE OURSELVES.  GOD CAN 

SPEAK TO OUR SOULS WITH THE INTEGRITY OF HIS WORD THAT HE 

IS OUR SALVATION NO MATTER WHAT.



Psalms 35:4-6  PG 500

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my 

soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion 

that devise my hurt.  Let them be as chaff before the 

wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them].

Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of 

the LORD persecute them.

HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND.  

DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART AND ALWAYS SEEMED SO 

COMPASSIONATE TOWARD HIS ENEMIES.  HE WAS SO GOOD AND 

LOYAL TO SAUL AND SAUL HOUNDED HIM TO DEATH.  DAVID ALWAYS 

SEEMED SO COMPASSIONATE AND FORGIVING AND YET HE WAS 

BRUTAL TOWARD HIS ENEMIES IN MANY OF THE PSALMS.  MAYBE 

THIS IS THE KEY THAT I HAVE ALWAYS MISSED.  DAVID TRUSTED 

GOD TO FIGHT HIS ENEMIES AND DID NOT FIGHT THEM DIRECTLY 

HIMSELF.



Psalms 35:10   PG 500

LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest the poor 

from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the 

needy from him that spoileth him?

IT IS NOT SMART TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POOR.  GOD FIGHTS 

THE BATTLES OF THE POOR.



Psalms 35:28   PG 501

And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of 

thy praise all the day long.

IT FEELS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD.  YOU JUST CAN'T STAY 

DEPRESSED IF YOU PRAISE THE LORD LONG ENOUGH.  GOD 

INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE.  IF YOU EVER GET DOWN 

- PRAISE THE LORD.



Psalms 41:1   PG 501

Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will 

deliver him in time of trouble.

IF YOU ARE KIND TO THE POOR - YOU MAY EXPECT HELP FROM THE 

LORD WITH YOUR TROUBLES.



Psalms 41:7   PG 502

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me 

do they devise my hurt.

An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and 

[now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.



Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which 

did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN YOU NEED TO EXPECT THAT THE PEOPLE 

IN THE WORLD ARE GOING TO BE TAKING SHOTS AT YOU ALL THE 

TIME.  WHAT REALLY HURTS THOUGH IS WHEN YOUR CLOSEST 

FRIENDS RIP YOU.   WHAT HURTS THE VERY WORST OF ALL IS 

WHEN YOUR CHILD TURNS AGAINST YOU AS ABSALOM TURNED 

AGAINST DAVID.  ONLY GOD CAN GIVE COMFORT FOR THAT HURT.



Psalms 43:2-3   PG 502

For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou cast 

me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the 

enemy?

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let 

them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

EVEN DAVID SOMETIMES FELT LIKE GOD HAD REJECTED HIM.  IF 

DAVID FELT REJECTED BY GOD AT TIMES IT IS NATURAL TO 

EXPECT THAT WE WILL HAVE DAYS LIKE THAT TOO.  WHAT DO YOU 

DO ABOUT IT?  GET GOD'S LIGHT AND GOD'S TRUTH.  THAT MEANS 

GO TO YOUR BIBLE.  THE TRUTH IS THAT GOD LOVES YOU - IT IS 

A LIE OF THE DEVIL THAT YOU ARE REJECTED BY GOD.



Psalms 46:1  PG 503

God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in 

trouble.

FROM MANY BAD EXPERIENCES I CONTINUE TO LEARN HOW STUPID 

IT IS TO FIGHT MY OWN BATTLES.  I LOOSE ALMOST ALL OF 

THEM.  IT IS MUCH SMARTER TO LET GOD BE YOUR REFUGE AND 

STRENGTH.  WILL I EVER LEARN?



Psalms 46:7   PG 503

The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our 

refuge. Selah.

PROTECTION DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN GOD'S PROTECTION - 

SELAH = THINK ABOUT IT.



Psalms 46:10-11  PG 503

Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted 

among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

The LORD of hosts [is] with us; the God of Jacob [is] our 

refuge. Selah.

TO REALLY KNOW THAT HE IS GOD WE NEED TO FIND QUIET.  

SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO FIND THE TIME AND PLACE TO BE 

STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.  BUT GOD'S PEACE AND GOD'S 

PROTECTION ARE BEST FOUND WHEN YOU CAN GET QUIET?



Psalms 55:22  PG 504

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: 

he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

I HOPE YOU NEVER FIND IT AS DIFFICULT AS I DO TO CAST YOUR 

BURDENS UPON THE LORD.  IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.  

TRUSTING HIM IS THE RIGHT SMART WAY.









APR 22   PSALM 61, 62, 64, 69             PG 505 - 508



Psalms 61:2-4  PG 505

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my 

heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher 

than I.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower 

from the enemy.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in 

the covert of thy wings. Selah.

WHERE ELSE WILL YOU GO WHEN YOU ARE OVERWHELMED?   TO BE 

SURE WE ALL WILL BE OVERWHELMED FROM TIME TO TIME.  TO 

THINK OF ABIDING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR ETERNITY IS 

GREAT COMFORT.



Psalms 62:1-2   PG 505

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my 

salvation.

He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; 

I shall not be greatly moved.



Psalms 62:6-8  PG 505

He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; 

I shall not be moved.

In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my 

strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.

Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your 

heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

ONLY GOD CAN OFFER US SALVATION AND A SOLID ANCHOR IN THE 

STORMS OF LIFE.  ONLY GOD IS WORTHY OF OUR TRUST AT ALL 

TIMES.  TRUSTING ANYTHING OR ANYBODY ELSE WILL BRING 

DISAPPOINTMENT AT SOMETIME.  IT IS SO MUCH BETTER TO POUR 

YOUR HEART OUT TO GOD THAN EVEN YOUR BEST FRIEND.  SELAH = 

THINK ABOUT IT.



Psalms 62:10-12

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: 

if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power 

[belongeth] unto God.

Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou 

renderest to every man according to his work.

GOD HAS THE POWER.  SOMETIMES MEN THINK THEY HAVE POWER.  

THAT IS A LIE.  GOD HAS THE POWER - ALL POWER.  PRAISE GOD 

THAT HE HAS INFINITE MERCY TO GO WITH HIS AWESOME INFINITE 

POWER.



Psalms 64:9-10   PG 506

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; 

for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust 

in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

THE RIGHTEOUS MAKE THEIR BOASTS IN THE LORD.  

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE RESULT OF TRUSTING HIM.

Psalms 69:6-9  PG 507

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be 

ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be 

confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath 

covered my face.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto 

my mother's children.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the 

reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon 

me.

WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED THAT OUR ACTIONS DO NOT BRING 

SHAME ON THE FAMILY OF GOD.  IT IS DIFFICULT TO LIVE 

BEYOND REPROACH.  UNJUST REPROACH IS PART OF THE LIFE OF 

THE CHRISTIAN.  IT HURTS MOST WHEN THE REPROACH COMES FROM 

ONE'S  FAMILY.  WHEN YOU TRY TO WALK GODLY IN AN UNGODLY 

WORLD YOU HAVE TO EXPECT REPROACH.  BY AND BY OUR SKINS 

WILL BE TOUGHENED AS OUR HEARTS ARE SOFTENED.



Psalms 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my 

thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

PROPHESY FULFILLED BY CHRIST ON CALVARY.









APR 23   PSALM 70, 71, 77, 83, 86         PG 509 - 513



Psalms 70:4  PG 509

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: 

and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let 

God be magnified.

DID YOU EVER HEAR PECULIAR PEOPLE GOING AROUND 

SPONTANEOUSLY SAYING "PRAISE THE LORD", OR "THANK YOU 

JESUS", ALL DAY LONG?  THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR 

STRENGTH.



Psalms 71:3-4  PG 509

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually 

resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou 

[art] my rock and my fortress.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out 

of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

WE CAN LIVE IN THE CONTINUAL PRESENCE AND PROTECTION OF 

GOD.  HOW?  PRAISE!  GOD INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS 

PEOPLE.  WE MAY HAVE THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THE 

HOLY SPIRIT IS ALWAYS A PERFECT GENTLEMAN.  THE SPIRIT OF 

THE PROPHET IS SUBJECT TO THE PROPHET.  HE WILL NEVER 

FORCE YOU TO DO ANYTHING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.  YET 

WHO KNOWS BEST WHAT TO DO?  SURELY GOD.  THERE ARE 2 KEYS.  

THE FIRST IS BROKENNESS OR YIELDEDNESS OR SUBMISSIVENESS.  

THE OTHER IS PRAISE.  THE FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT IS IN 

PROPORTION TO OUR YIELDEDNESS.  AND WE ALL LEAK A LOT.



Psalms 71:9-10  PG 509

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not 

when my strength faileth.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait 

for my soul take counsel together,

AS WE GROW OLDER HOPEFULLY WE WILL GROW WISER.  IF WE GROW 

WISER WE SEE THAT OUR NEED FOR GOD GROWS.  IF WE DON'T 

FIGURE THIS OUT WHEN WE ARE YOUNG AND STRONG IT WILL 

PROBABLY OCCUR TO US WHEN OUR STRENGTH FAILS IN OLD AGE.  

THE YOUNGER WE ARE WHEN WE FIGURE THIS OUT THE BETTER OUR 

LIFE WILL BE.



Psalms 71:14-17  PG 509

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more 

and more.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy 

salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers 

[thereof].

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make 

mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto 

have I declared thy wondrous works.

INTEGRITY IS A MUST FOR EVERYONE IN EVERYTHING.  SELF 

RIGHTEOUSNESS STINKS.  GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS IS WONDERFUL.





Psalms 71:19-21  PG 510

Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast 

done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!

[Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, 

shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from 

the depths of the earth.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every 

side.

CLEAR TEACHING OF THE RESURRECTION AND ETERNAL LIFE.





Psalms 77:11-15  PG 511

I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will 

remember thy wonders of old.

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy 

doings.

Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a 

God as [our] God?

Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared 

thy strength among the people.

Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons 

of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

GOD HAS REVEALED HIS ALMIGHTY POWER BY HOW HE DELIVERED 

HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE ISRAEL.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER 

THIS.  THERE DOES EXIST THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE RAPTURE 

OCCURS AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION.  THE KNOWLEDGE OF 

HOW GOD DELIVERED ISRAEL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRIBULATION FROM 

PHARAOH WILL HELP THE CHURCH DURING TRIBULATION FROM 

ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 86:8-12  PG 512

Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord; 

neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship 

before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou 

[art] God alone.

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite 

my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and 

I will glorify thy name for evermore.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO LEARN GOD'S WAY.  IT IS A 

WAY OF LOVE AND TRUTH.  GOD'S WAY OF LOVE IS SO DIFFERENT 

FROM THE NATURAL WAY OF REACTING.  MAY I ASK YOU TO PRAY 

THAT GOD WILL HELP ME BE MORE GODLY IN MY WAYS OF LOVING 

OTHERS?









APR 24   PSALM 88, 91, 95, 108, 109       PG 513 - 517



Psalms 88:9-12   PG 513

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have 

called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto 

thee.

Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise 

[and] praise thee? Selah.

Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or] 

thy faithfulness in destruction?

Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy 

righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

ALL DAVID HAD TO WORK WITH WAS ONLY THE FIRST 5 BOOKS OF 

THE BIBLE OR THE LAW GIVEN TO MOSES.  HE KNEW THERE HAD TO 

BE A RESURRECTION.



Psalms 91    PG 514

1:He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High 

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2:I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my 

fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3:Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the 

fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

4:He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his 

wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield 

and buckler.

5:Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] 

for the arrow [that] flieth by day;

6:[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; 

[nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.

7:A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at 

thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

8:Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the 

reward of the wicked.

9:Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, 

[even] the most High, thy habitation;

10:There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any 

plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11:For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep 

thee in all thy ways.

12:They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou 

dash thy foot against a stone.

13:Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young 

lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14:Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I 

deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known 

my name.

15:He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will 

be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour 

him.

16:With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my 

salvation.

WHERE ELSE WILL YOU PUT YOUR TRUST?  PUT YOUR TRUST 

ANYWHERE ELSE AND SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL BE 

DISAPPOINTED.

THIS WHOLE PSALM IS FANTASTIC.  IT MAY BE LONG BUT IT SURE 

WOULD BE WORTH MEMORIZING.  HOW ABOUT VERSE 7 - A THOUSAND 

MAY FALL AT YOUR SIDE AND TEN THOUSAND MAY FALL AT YOUR 

RIGHT HAND BUT IT WILL NOT COME NEAR YOU.



Psalms 95:6-9  PG 515

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before 

the LORD our maker.

For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his 

pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear 

his voice,

Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as 

[in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT NOT TO LET YOUR HEART GET HARDENED.  I 

WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO PRAY FOR ME IN THIS REGARD - THAT 

GOD WOULD SOFTEN MY HEART.  IT IS SO EASY FOR ME TO BE 

HARDENED.



Psalms 108:4-5  PG 515

For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth 

[reacheth] unto the clouds.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory 

above all the earth;

INFINITE MERCY AND ABSOLUTE TRUTH WHAT A WONDERFUL 

GLORIOUS GOD WE SERVE IN JESUS CHRIST.



Psalms 109:4-5  PG 516

For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself 

unto] prayer.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my 

love.

IT HURTS SO BAD WHEN THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE RETURN EVIL FOR 

GOOD AND HATRED FOR YOUR LOVE.



Psalms 109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto 

him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far 

from him.

IF YOU WANT TO BE BLESSED FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE A BLESSING 

TO OTHERS.  CURSING IS WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE OCCULT ARE 

GOOD AT.



Psalms 109:26-28  PG 517

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, 

LORD, hast done it.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them 

be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

WE DO NOT NEED TO FEAR ANY CURSES OF MEN.  WE TRUST IN GOD 

AND FEAR ONLY HIM.









APR 25   PSALM 120, 121, 140, 143, 144    PG 517 - 520



Psalms 120:6-7  PG 518

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.

JESUS SAID BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE 

CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  Matthew 5:9



Psalms 121:1-2  PG 518

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence 

cometh my help.

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and 

earth.

IF GOD BE FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU.



Psalms 121:7-8  PG 518

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall 

preserve thy soul.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in 

from this time forth, and even for evermore.

GOD IS ABLE AND WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE.



Psalms 140:6-8  PG 518

I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of 

my supplications, O LORD.

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast 

covered my head in the day of battle.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not 

his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah.

SELAH = THINK ABOUT IT.  WHAT IS THE STRENGTH OF MY 

SALVATION?  IS IT THAT I DO MORE GOOD THINGS THAN BAD 

THINGS?  THE STRENGTH OF OUR SALVATION CAN ONLY BE GOD.  

ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS MAKES MY SALVATION POSSIBLE.  

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY(John 14:6).  THERE IS NO OTHER NAME 

UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH WE MAY BE SAVED.(John 20:31, Acts 

2:21, Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12)



Psalms 140:12-13  PG 519

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the 

afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the 

upright shall dwell in thy presence.

GOD TAKES CARE OF THE POOR.  THE ONLY TANGIBLE THING WE 

CAN EVER DO FOR GOD IS TO CARE FOR THE POOR AND AFFLICTED.



Psalms 143:1-2  PG 519

Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in 

thy faithfulness answer me, [and] in thy righteousness.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy 

sight shall no man living be justified.

WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME LEAKY BOAT.  NO MAN LIVING IS 

JUSTIFIED UNLESS THE PRICE WHICH JESUS PAID AT CALVARY IS 

APPLIED TO THEIR ACCOUNT.  THAT IS THE ONLY WAY ANYONE CAN 

BE JUSTIFIED IN GOD'S SIGHT.

Psalms 143:5-6  PG 519

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I 

muse on the work of thy hands.

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul [thirsteth] 

after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR GOD'S LOVINGKINDNESS IN THE MORNING 

OR ANY OTHER TIME.  HOW DO YOU GET TO HEAR IT?



Psalms 143:8-9  PG 519

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in 

thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should 

walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to 

hide me.

IT IS GOOD TO THINK ON THE WONDERFUL THINGS WHICH GOD HAS 

DONE.  HOW DOES ONE SPREAD OUT THEIR HANDS TO GOD?



Psalms 144:3-4  PG 519

LORD, what [is] man, that thou takest knowledge of him! 

[or] the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Man is like to vanity: his days [are] as a shadow that 

passeth away.

DO YOU EVER WONDER WHY IT IS THAT GOD CARES SO MUCH FOR 

US?



Psalms 144:15 Happy [is that] people, that is in such a 

case: [yea], happy [is that] people, whose God [is] the 

LORD.

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH.  IF THE LORD JESUS 

CHRIST IS YOUR GOD YOU WILL BE HAPPY AND BLESSED.









APR 26   PSALM 1, 14, 15, 36, 37, 394    PG 521 - 526



Psalms 1  PG 521

Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of 

the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor 

sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his 

law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of 

water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his 

leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall 

prosper.

The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which 

the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor 

sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way 

of the ungodly shall perish.

THIS IS ANOTHER OT THE SHORT PSALMS WHICH IS PACKED WITH 

GOD'S PRINCIPLES AND IS WORTH MEMORIZING FOR MEDITATION 

LIKE PSALM 23.



Psalm 14:1   PG 521

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They 

are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] 

none that doeth good.

THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.



Psalms 14:2-3  PG 521

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek 

God.

They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become 

filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

THERE IS NOT A RIGHTEOUS PERSON.



Psalms 15:1-5  PG 522

LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell 

in thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and 

speaketh the truth in his heart.

[He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil 

to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his 

neighbour.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth 

them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] 

hurt, and changeth not.

[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh 

reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] 

shall never be moved.

CHARACTER TRAITS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.







Psalms 36:1-4  PG 523

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, 

[that there is] no fear of God before his eyes.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his 

iniquity be found to be hateful.

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath 

left off to be wise, [and] to do good.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a 

way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.

THE DEPRAVITY OF THE WICKED



Psalms 36:10-12  PG 523

O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; 

and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the 

hand of the wicked remove me.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast 

down, and shall not be able to rise.

GOD WILL RAISE UP THE RIGHTEOUS IF THEY FALL.



Psalms 37:3-9  PG 523

Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in 

the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee 

the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he 

shall bring [it] to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, 

and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not 

thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because 

of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in 

any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon 

the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.



Psalms 37:16-17  PG 524

A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the 

riches of many wicked.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD 

upholdeth the righteous.

IF YOU ARE RIGHT WITH GOD - EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK.

YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING BUT JESUS.



Psalms 37:21-22  PG 525

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the 

righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; 

and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.

THE RIGHTEOUS SHOWETH MERCY AND GIVETH.







Psalms 37:25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have 

I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging 

bread.

GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS PEOPLE.



Psalms 37:30-31  PG 524

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue 

talketh of judgment.

The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps 

shall slide.

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WISDOM GO HAND IN HAND.



Psalms 37:37-40   PG 525

Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the 

end of [that] man [is] peace.

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end 

of the wicked shall be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he 

is] their strength in the time of trouble.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall 

deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they 

trust in him.

TRY TO ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY.  SEEK OUT THOSE 

WHO WILL GIVE YOU THE BAD NEWS FIRST HAND AND THE GOOD 

NEWS SECONDHAND.



Psalms 39:1  PG 525

I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with 

my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the 

wicked is before me.

SILENCE IS THE BEST THING TO DO IN THE PRESENCE OF THE 

WICKED.









APR 27   PSALM 40, 49, 50, 73,           PG 526 - 531



Psalms 40:1-4  PG 526

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, 

and heard my cry.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the 

miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established 

my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise unto 

our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in 

the LORD.

Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and 

respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THE LORD IS HARD.  VERSE 4 IS A GOOD 

SHORT RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS - TRUST THE LORD, AVOID PRIDE, 

AVOID DECEIT.



Psalms 40:7-8  PG 526

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] 

written of me,

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] 

within my heart.

WE ALL NEED TO HAVE SOFT HEARTS AND HARD THICK SKIN.  

FINDING DELIGHT IN DOING GOD'S WILL REGARDLESS OF WHAT 

PEOPLE THINK OF US AND WHAT WE DO.



Psalms 40:11-12  PG 527

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let 

thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine 

iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able 

to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: 

therefore my heart faileth me.

THE TENDER MERCIES OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS IS THE MOST 

IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE.  WHEN FRIENDS FAIL YOU, WHEN 

HEALTH FAILS YOU, WHEN WE REALIZE HOW SHORT OF GOD'S GRACE 

WE HAVE FALLEN - IT IS THE INFINITE MERCY OF GOD IN CHRIST 

JESUS WHICH WILL BRING US THROUGH TO GLORY.  PRAISE GOD!



Psalms 40:16-17  PG 527

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: 

let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD 

be magnified.

But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon 

me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, 

O my God.

THESE 2 VERSES MAKE UP A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PRAYER.



Psalms 49:5-10  PG 527

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the 

iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in 

the multitude of their riches;

None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor 

give to God a ransom for him:

(For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it 

ceaseth for ever:)

That he should still live for ever, [and] not see 

corruption.

For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and 

the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to 

others.

HERE IS GREAT WISDOM.  THE REDEMPTION OF THE SOUL IS 

PRECIOUS.  YOU CAN NOT ACQUIRE ENOUGH WEALTH TO BUY YOUR 

WAY OUT OF THE GRAVE.  WHAT YOU CANNOT BUY GOD OFFERS AS A 

FREE GIFT.  THE WISDOM OF LIFE THEN IS TO MAKE THAT LIFE A 

LIFE OF THANKSGIVING TO GOD FOR THE GIFT YOU COULD NEVER 

EARN.



Psalms 49:15-17  PG 527

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: 

for he shall receive me. Selah.

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory 

of his house is increased;

For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory 

shall not descend after him.

WE ALL KNOW YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.  SINCE ONLY GOD 

CAN REDEEM YOUR SOUL FROM THE GRAVE IT MAKES GOOD SENSE TO 

LIVE FOR HIS GLORY AND TO DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP THE POOR 

AND BE GOD'S INSTRUMENT OF BLESSING IN THIS LIFE.



Psalms 50:3-6  PG 528

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire 

shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous 

round about him.

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, 

that he may judge his people.

Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a 

covenant with me by sacrifice.

And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God 

[is] judge himself. Selah.

JESUS IS COMING AGAIN - MAYBE SOON.  HE WILL NOT BE COMING 

THIS TIME AS THE GENTLE LAMB OF GOD BUT AS ALMIGHTY GOD.  

WILL YOU NOTICE THAT HIS COMING WITH A DEVOURING FIRE AND 

RAGING TEMPEST EITHER PRECEDES OR IS COINCIDENTAL WITH THE 

GATHERING OF HIS SAINTS.  THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT HIS 

GATHERING OCCURS 7 OR 3.5 YEARS BEFORE HIS COMING IN GREAT 

POWER.



Psalms 50:14-15  PG 529

Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the 

most High:

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver 

thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES AND HE EXPECTS US TO KEEP OUR 

PROMISES.  WHEN GOD DELIVERS US WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL TO 

GIVE HIM THE GLORY.



Psalms 73:2-5  PG 529

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well 

nigh slipped.

For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the 

prosperity of the wicked.

For [there are] no bands in their death: but their 

strength [is] firm.

They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they 

plagued like [other] men.

DO NOT ENVY THE WICKED RICH.  REMEMBER WHAT JESUS 

EXPLAINED WHEN HE TOLD ABOUT LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN.



Psalm 73:25-26  PG 530

Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon 

earth [that] I desire beside thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength 

of my heart, and my portion for ever.

JESUS IS WHAT WE NEED.  WE NEED ONLY JESUS.  WE NEED MORE 

OF JESUS.  WITHOUT JESUS YOU REALLY HAVE NOTHING.  IF YOU 

HAVE JESUS YOU HAVE ALL YOU NEED.  IF YOU HAVE JESUS YOU 

HAVE EVERYTHING.  WITHOUT JESUS YOU REALLY HAVE NOTHING.





APR 28  PSALM 76, 82, 84, 90, 92, 112, 115   PG 531 - 536

Psalms 76:7  PG 531

Thou, <even> thou, <art> to be feared: and who may stand 

in thy sight when once thou art angry?

NO ONE MAY STAND IN THE FACE OF GOD'S ANGER.  IT IS GOD 

AND GOD ALONE WHO IS WORTHY TO BE FEARED.



Psalms 84:5   PG 532

Blessed <is> the man whose strength <is> in thee; in whose 

heart <are> the ways <of them>.

GOD IS OUR STRENGTH.  STRENGTH FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE WILL 

FAIL AT SOME TIME.



Psalms 84:10   PG 532

For a day in thy courts <is> better than a thousand. I had 

rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to 

dwell in the tents of wickedness.

IT IS BETTER TO BE A DOOR KEEPER OR A FISH CLEANER IN 

HEAVEN THAN TO DWELL WITH THE WICKED IN HELL.  JESUS SENT 

HIS DISCIPLES OUT TO DO THE WORKS THAT HE WAS DOING.  THEY 

RETURNED REJOICING THAT EVEN THE DEMONS WERE SUBJECT TO 

THEM IN JESUS' NAME.  HE TOLD THEM NOT TO REJOICE IN THE 

POWER OF HIS NAME BUT TO REJOICE THAT THEIR NAMES WERE 

WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.



Psalms 84:11-12   PG 532

For the LORD God <is> a sun and shield: the LORD will give 

grace and glory: no good <thing> will he withhold from 

them that walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts, blessed <is> the man that trusteth in 

thee.

GOD GIVES LIGHT (DIRECTION) AND PROTECTION.  THE LORD 

GIVES GRACE AND UPLIFTS THE POOR AND HUMBLE.  THE LORD 

DOES NOT HOLD BACK ANY GOOD THING FROM THOSE WHO WALK IN 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  HAPPINESS IS FOUND IN TRUSTING GOD.  THESE 

ARE GOOD MEMORY VERSES.



Psalms 90:4  PG 533

For a thousand years in thy sight <are but> as yesterday 

when it is past, and <as> a watch in the night.

GOD IS NOT LIMITED BY TIME AND SPACE 1000 YEARS IS AS A 

DAY.



Psalms 90:10-12   PG 533

The days of our years <are> threescore years and ten; and 

if by reason of strength <they be> fourscore years, yet 

<is> their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut 

off, and we fly away.

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to 

thy fear, <so is> thy wrath.

So teach <us> to number our days, that we may apply <our> 

hearts unto wisdom.

WE ARE HERE FOR A VERY SHORT TIME TYPICALLY 70 TO 80 

YEARS.  BECAUSE WE ARE HERE FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME WE NEED 

TO APPLY OUR HEARTS TO WISDOM TO GET TO KNOW GOD AND HIS 

WAYS AS A TOP PRIORITY IN OUR LIVES.  THE FEAR OF THE LORD 

IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.



Psalms 90:14  PG 533

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and 

be glad all our days.

JOY COMES EASY WHEN YOU KNOW GOD IS FOR YOU.  THE 

EXPERIENCE OF GOD'S MERCY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST MAKES THE 

HEART GLAD WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO FIND JOY IN OUR 

CIRCUMSTANCES.  EVERYONE HAS A GOD HOLE IN THE PIT OF OUR 

GUTS.  ONLY GOD CAN FILL IT.  BOOZE CAN'T.  DRUGS CAN'T.  

WEALTH CAN'T.  NOTHING BUT GOD CAN FILL IT.



Psalms 92:1-2  PG 533 - 534

<It is a> good <thing> to give thanks unto the LORD, and 

to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy 

faithfulness every night,

IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD IN THE MORNING 

AND AT NIGHT.  GIVE HIM THANKS WHEN YOU WAKE AND WHEN YOU 

GO TO SLEEP.  ANY TIME IS A GOOD TIME TO THANK GOD.  IT IS 

ESPECIALLY GOOD WHEN WAKING AND RETIRING.  DEPRESSION AND 

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND BAD ATTITUDES CAN BE DEALT WITH BY 

PRAISING GOD.



Psalms 92:4-6   PG 534

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will 

triumph in the works of thy hands.

O LORD, how great are thy works! <and> thy thoughts are 

very deep.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand 

this.

IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO THINK OF THINGS FOR 

WHICH TO PRAISE GOD.  JUST LOOK AROUND AND LOOK UP.  HOW 

GREAT IS GOD?  THINK ABOUT HIM.  THINK ABOUT WHAT HE HAS 

DONE.  PRAISE WILL START FLOWING NATURALLY.  PRAISING HIM 

WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD NO MATTER WHAT.  PRAISING HIM IS 

ALWAYS THE RIGHT AND SMART THING TO DO.



Psalms 112:4-8   PG 534 -535

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: <he 

is> gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his 

affairs with discretion.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall 

be in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is 

fixed, trusting in the LORD.

His heart <is> established, he shall not be afraid, until 

he see <his desire> upon his enemies.

THE RIGHTEOUS MAN WHO TRUSTS IN GOD LIVES IN JOY AND 

WITHOUT FEAR.  GOOD THINGS JUST COME TO HIM.

Psalms 115:1-3  PG 535

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give 

glory, for thy mercy, <and> for thy truth's sake.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where <is> now their 

God?

But our God <is> in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever 

he hath pleased.

GIVE GOD THE GLORY.  NOT TO US, NOT TO US, BUT TO GOD BE 

THE GLORY.  THE HEATHEN MAY SAY WHERE IS THEIR GOD?  WE 

KNOW OUR GOD IS IN HEAVEN AND IN US BY THE PRESENCE OF THE 

HOLY SPIRIT IF WE HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN.  AND OUR GOD CAN 

HANDLE ANYTHING.









APR 29  PSALM 8, 9, 16, 19, 21, 24           PG 536 - 540



Psalms 8  A Psalm of David.   PG 536

O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the 

earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained 

strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest 

still the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the 

moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of 

man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and 

hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy 

hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and 

whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the 

earth!

WHEN I CONSIDER THY HEAVENS - WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU CARE SO 

MUCH ABOUT US?



Psalms 9:1-2  PG 537

A Psalm of David

I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will 

shew forth all thy marvellous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to 

thy name, O thou most High.

PRAISE THE LORD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART.  IT WILL MAKE YOU 

GLAD AND LIFT YOU ABOVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.



Psalms 9:9-10  PG 537

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge 

in times of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: 

for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT.



Psalms 16:1-2  PG 538  David

Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

[O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my 

Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;

YOU ARE MY LORD - APART FROM YOU I HAVE NO GOOD THING.



Psalms 16:7-8  PG 538

I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins 

also instruct me in the night seasons.

I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at 

my right hand, I shall not be moved.

SET THE LORD ALWAYS BEFORE YOU - DO THINGS HIS WAY AND YOU 

WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED.



Psalms 19:1-2  PG 538  A Psalm of David

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament 

sheweth his handiwork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth 

knowledge.

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD.  IT TAKES MORE FAITH 

TO BE AN ATHEIST THAN TO BELIEVE IN GOD.  GOD IS NOT ANY 

OF THE IMPERSONAL gODS OF THE NEW AGE.  HE ALONE IS GOD.  

HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO MAN BY HIS CREATION, BY HIS DEALINGS 

WITH ISRAEL AND MOST CLEARLY IN JESUS CHRIST.  IF YOU HAVE 

JESUS YOU HAVE EVERYTHING.  WITHOUT JESUS YOU REALLY HAVE 

NOTHING WORTHWHILE.



Psalms 19:7-14  PG 539

The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the 

testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: 

the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the 

eyes.

The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the 

judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous 

altogether.

More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much 

fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping 

of them [there is] great reward.

Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from 

secret [faults].

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let 

them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, 

and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, 

be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my 

redeemer.

THE LAW OF GOD IS PERFECT CONVERTING THE SOUL AND BRINGING 

IT TO ABUNDANT ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST.  WHO CAN 

UNDERSTAND HIS SINS AND BE CLEANSED FROM SECRET FAULTS?  

JESUS PROVIDES THE ANSWER THROUGH THE CONVICTING POWER OF 

HIS INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT.  THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION FOR 

THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS BUT THERE IS CONVICTION AND 

FORGIVENESS AND NEW, ABUNDANT, POWERFUL, ETERNAL LIFE.



Psalms 21:9  PG 540

Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine 

anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and 

the fire shall devour them.

CLEAR DESCRIPTION OF THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.  BE 

READY.  DO NOT BE AMONG THE WICKED WHO WILL EXPERIENCE THE 

WRATH OF GOD AT THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.  BE AMONG 

THOSE WHO LOOK TO HIS RETURN AS THEIR BLESSED HOPE.



Psalms 24   PG 540  A Psalm of David & GOSPEL OF JESUS

The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the 

world, and they that dwell therein.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it 

upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall 

stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not 

lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and 

righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek 

thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye 

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, 

the LORD mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye 

everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is] the 

King of glory. Selah.

THE LORD MADE EVERYTHING AND THEREFORE HE OWNS EVERYTHING 

AND EVERYONE.  WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STAND IN THE PRESENCE 

OF GOD?  ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE BLOOD 

WHICH WAS SHED BY JESUS FOR THEM AT CALVARY.  THE 

EXPERIENCE OF JESUS PAYING THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS CREATES 

THE CLEAN HEART IN US.  NOTHING ELSE CAN FREE US FROM OUR 

VANITY.  WE RECEIVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A GIFT FROM GOD 

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION.  WILL YOU 

OPEN THE GATE OF YOUR HEART AND LET THE KING OF GLORY COME 

IN?  THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY -  WHO GIVES 

RIGHTEOUSNESS, ABUNDANT, POWERFUL ETERNAL LIFE HERE AND 

NOW AND FOREVER.  JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF HOSTS - HE IS 

THE KING OF GLORY.  HE WANTS TO ENTER THE GATE OF EVERY 

HUMAN HEART BUT HE WILL NOT FORCE HIS WAY IN.  WE EACH 

MUST WELCOME HIM IN.











APR 30  PSALM 29, 33, 65, 66, 67, 68         PG 540 - 546



Psalms 29:2  PG 540

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship 

the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

GOD IS DUE ALL GLORY.  AS WE WORSHIP THE LORD WE NEED TO 

BE MINDFUL OF THE POSSIBILITY OF UNCONFESSED SIN IN OUR 

LIFE.  WORSHIPING GOD IN HOLINESS IS BEAUTIFUL.  HOLINESS 

IS AVAILABLE TO US.  WE MISS IT IF WE HIDE OUR SINS.  ALL 

WE HAVE TO DO IS AGREE WITH GOD THAT OUR SIN IS WRONG AND 

THAT WE WANT TO TURN AWAY FROM IT.  GOD IS MORE QUICK TO 

FORGIVE AND FORGET THAN WE ARE TO ASK FORGIVENESS.  YOU 

CANNOT HIDE ANYTHING FROM GOD.  YOU CAN HIDE IT FROM YOUR 

FRIENDS AND EVEN TRY TO HIDE IT FROM YOURSELF BUT YOU 

CAN'T HIDE IT FROM GOD.



Psalms 33:1  PG 541

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is 

comely for the upright.

IT IS GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD.  GOD INHABITS THE PRAISES 

OF HIS PEOPLE.  II Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that 

Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] 

liberty.



Psalms 33:4-5  PG 541

For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works 

[are done] in truth.

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of 

the goodness of the LORD.

TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUDGMENT, GOODNESS ARE OF THE LORD.



Psalms 33:12  PG 541

Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the 

people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

AMERICA HAS BEEN BLESSED.  THE FOUNDERS OF THE NATION 

SOUGHT TO ESTABLISH A NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD.  IN 

RECENT YEARS A SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST HAS MOVED TO 

PREEMINENCE IN THIS LAND.  AMERICA ONCE HAD BEEN 

DISTINGUISHED AS A GREAT NATION WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD.  

CHRISTIANS MUST BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS AND RISE UP TO 

RECLAIM THEIR NATION FOR GOD INSTEAD OF GOING WITH THE 

MAJORITY WHO AWAIT THE RAPTURE.



Psalms 33:18-22  PG 542

Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, 

upon them that hope in his mercy;

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive 

in famine.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our 

shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have 

trusted in his holy name.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in 

thee.

THE LORD WATCHES OVER AND PROTECTS HIS CHILDREN.  THERE IS 

NO OTHER PLACE TO PUT YOUR TRUST.

Psalms 65:7   PG 542

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their 

waves, and the tumult of the people.

REMEMBER HOW JESUS DID THIS WHEN HIS FRIGHTENED FISHERMEN 

DISCIPLES WOKE HIM FROM HIS PEACEFUL SLEEP DURING THE 

STORM ON THE SEA OF GALILEE.



Psalms 66:1-4  PG 543

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise 

glorious.

Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! 

through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies 

submit themselves unto thee.

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto 

thee; they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.

YOUR BELIEFS ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE RIDICULED UNLESS YOU 

BELIEVE IN JESUS.  YET SOME DAY EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND 

EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD.



Psalms 66:8-10  PG 543

O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his 

praise to be heard:

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet 

to be moved.

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as 

silver is tried.

PRAISE THE LORD.  BE BOLD.  DON'T LET THE MAJORITY OF 

UNBELIEVERS INTIMIDATE YOU.  GOD WILL NOT LET YOU BE 

OVERWHELMED.  WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE ANTICHRIST 

JUGGERNAUT BUT WE CAN MAKE IT GO AROUND US AS WE BOLDLY 

PRAISE OUR GOD.  GOD ALLOWS US TO BE TESTED AND TRIED BUT 

FROM THE FIRE OF OUR TRIALS AND SUFFERING WE ARE REFINED.



Psalms 66:16-20  PG 544

Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare 

what he hath done for my soul.

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with 

my tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear 

[me]:

[But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the 

voice of my prayer.

Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, 

nor his mercy from me.

WE ARE TO ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER WITH OUR TESTIMONIES.  THEY 

OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND BY THE WORD OF 

THEIR TESTIMONY.  ENCOURAGE OTHERS BY LETTING THEM KNOW 

HOW GOD HAS ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS.





Psalms 68:18   PG 545

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity 

captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the 

rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [among 

them].

HERE IS ANOTHER OF DAVID'S PROPHESIES OF JESUS.



Psalms 68:19   PG 545

Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with 

benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.

SELAH - THINK ABOUT IT.  IT IS GOOD TO THINK ABOUT THE 

DAILY BLESSINGS WHICH WE RECEIVE FROM JESUS THE GOD OF OUR 

SALVATION.

























































































MAY 1   PSALM 75, 93, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100    PG 546 - 550



Psalms 75:1   PG 546   A Psalm of Asaph

Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we 

give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous 

works declare.

GIVE THANKS TO GOD.  HOW VERY FOOLISH ARE THE POLITICALLY 

CORRECT, THE ATHEIST, THE SOCIALIST, THE HUMANIST, THE NEW 

AGE PANTHEIST.  THEY HAVE BOUGHT THE LIE THAT "YE SHALL BE 

AS GOD".  HOW ELSE CAN ONE LOOK AT GOD'S MAGNIFICENT 

UNIVERSE AND MAINTAIN INTELLECTUAL HONESTY?  ALL OF THIS 

WONDERFUL ORDER JUST HAPPENED BY CHANCE?  IT TAKES MUCH 

GREATER FAITH TO BE AN ATHEIST THAN TO BELIEVE IN GOD.  

JUST AS THE CHRISTIAN KNOWS HE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION OF 

ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE WHEN HE DIES, SO THE ATHEIST AND 

ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BOUGHT THE LIE, WILL KNOW HE HAS MADE 

THE WRONG DECISION OF ETERNAL CONSEQUENCE WHEN HE DIES.  

THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS BLOWS THE THEORY OF 

EVOLUTION TO SMITHEREENS.  THE UNIVERSE IS WINDING DOWN 

NOT UP.  THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE UNTIL JESUS 

CHRIST RETURNS TO PUT AN END TO LUCIFER'S EVIL DECEPTION 

AND SEDUCTION OF HUMANITY.



Psalms 75:4   PG 546

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the 

wicked, Lift not up the horn:

THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.  TO THE 

ARROGANT I SAY 'BOAST NO MORE'.  THERE IS NO PLACE FOR MAN 

TO BOAST WHEN THE GREATNESS OF GOD IS CONSIDERED.  THE 

ANTICHRIST WILL SAY UNHEARD-OF THINGS AGAINST GOD.  HE 

WILL EVEN CLAIM TO BE GOD.  HE WILL APPEAR TO PROSPER FOR 

A WHILE.  HIS TOTAL RISE TO POWER AND COMPLETE DESTRUCTION 

OF HIMSELF AND ALL HIS FOLLOWERS WILL SPAN LESS THAN 7 

YEARS.



Psalms 93:1-2   PG 547

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is 

clothed with strength, [wherewith] he hath girded himself: 

the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from 

everlasting.

THE LORD REIGNS.  HE FIRMLY ESTABLISHED THE WORLD.  IT IS 

THE HEIGHT OF MAN'S VANITY AND FOOLISHNESS THAT WE COULD 

DESTROY GOD'S PLANET EARTH.  THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT WE 

SHOULD BE TRASHY.  CHRISTIANS NEED TO KNOW THAT ALL OF 

THIS ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMISM IS ONE OF THE VARIOUS METHODS 

BEING EMPLOYED TO BRING ABOUT THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT AND 

RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF THE ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness 

becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

WE NEED TO STRIVE FOR HOLINESS.  HOLINESS IS THE RESULT OF 

OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THE HOLY 

SPIRIT WILL NEVER FORCE US TO DO ANYTHING.  YET IF WE WILL 

SUBMIT TO HIS LEADING, HOLINESS WILL BE THE RESULT.  

HOLINESS IS WHAT WILL ATTRACT THE WORLD TO ASK THE REASON 

FOR THE HOPE THAT WE HAVE.



Psalms 94:8-13  PG 547 - 548

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, 

when will ye be wise?

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed 

the eye, shall he not see?

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he 

that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] 

vanity.

Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and 

teachest him out of thy law;

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, 

until the pit be digged for the wicked.

When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me 

up.

GOD DESIGNED EARS AND EYES.  HOW FOOLISH IS IT TO THINK 

ANYTHING CAN BE HID FROM GOD.  GOD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF 

ALL MEN.  REMEMBER HOW JESUS ALWAYS KNEW WHAT MEN AROUND 

HIM WERE THINKING.  THAT IS REALLY GREAT BECAUSE WE CAN BE 

CERTAIN THAT OUR SILENT PRAYERS ARE HEARD BY GOD AND THERE 

IS NO WAY OUR ADVERSARY CAN KNOW WHAT WE ARE PRAYING 

ABOUT.  WE ARE TESTED, CHASTENED, AND DISCIPLINED BY GOD.  

THIS IS A GOOD THING WHICH WILL WORK FOR OUR GOOD IN THE 

LONG RUN.  IF IT EVER SEEMS OVERWHELMING READ THE PSALMS 

AND MEDITATE ON GOD'S INFINITE MERCY AND LOVE FOR YOU.



Psalms 94:19   PG 548

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts 

delight my soul.

WHEN ANXIETY WELLS UP MEDITATE ON THE PSALMS AND THE 

CONSOLATION OF GOD WILL BRING JOY TO YOUR SOUL.



Psalms 94:22-23  PG 548

But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my 

refuge.

And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall 

cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our 

God shall cut them off.

IF THE LORD IS YOUR DEFENSE AND YOUR REFUGE THEN THERE 

WILL BE NO VALIDITY TO ANY FEAR.  DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR 

WICKED ENEMIES.  GOD CAN HANDLE THEM BETTER THAN WE CAN.



Psalms 97:9-12   PG 549

For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art 

exalted far above all gods.

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls 

of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the 

wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the 

upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the 

remembrance of his holiness.

IT IS GOD ABOVE ALL.  TO LOVE GOD IS TO HATE EVIL.  GOD IS 

WELL ABLE TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE FROM THE HANDS OF THE 

WICKED.  WISDOM IS FOR THE RIGHTEOUS AND JOY IS FOR THE 

UPRIGHT IN HEART.  BE GLAD IN THE LORD.



Psalms 98:1-3  PG 549

O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done 

marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath 

gotten him the victory.

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness 

hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the 

house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the 

salvation of our God.

THIS HAS BEEN PUT TO SONG.  A GOOD SONG TO SING.



Psalms 100:1-5  PG 550

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence 

with singing.

Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath 

made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and 

the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his 

courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his 

name.

For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and 

his truth [endureth] to all generations.

GOD'S KIDS KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.  THEY ARE FUN TO 

BE WITH.  NOTHING SHAKES THEM.  EVERYBODY HAS UPS AND 

DOWNS BUT GOD'S KIDS ARE JUST ABOUT ALWAYS UP.  THEY DON'T 

STAY DOWN LONG.  THEY KNOW WHO GOD IS.  THEY KNOW GOD IS 

WITH THEM.  THEY KNOW THAT WHEN GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE YOU 

WIN THE WAR EVEN IF YOU LOOSE A BATTLE ONCE IN A WHILE.







MAY 2   PSALM 103, 104, 113, 114, 117        PG 550 - 554



Psalms 103   PG 550 - 551  A Psalm of David.

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, 

[bless] his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his 

benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy 

diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee 

with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy 

youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that 

are oppressed.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the 

children of Israel.

The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and 

plenteous in mercy.

He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] 

for ever.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us 

according to our iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is 

his mercy toward them that fear him.

As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he 

removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD 

pitieth them that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] 

dust.

[As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the 

field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the 

place thereof shall know it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to 

everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness 

unto children's children;

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember 

his commandments to do them.

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his 

kingdom ruleth over all.

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, 

that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his 

word.

Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of 

his, that do his pleasure.

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his 

dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PSALM.  IF EVER YOU ARE DOWN OR 

DEPRESSED OR FACING ANY OF LIFE'S PROBLEMS - READ AND 

MEDITATE ON PSALM 103 READ IT OVER AND OVER.





Psalms 104:5   PG 551-552

[Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should 

not be removed for ever.

HERE IS A GOOD VERSE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMISTS.  

MAN CAN NEVER DESTROY GOD'S PLANET EARTH.  ALL OF THE 

NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF USA AND RUSSIA GOING OFF AT THE SAME 

TIME WILL NOT DESTROY THE PLANET.  THE HIDDEN AGENDA OF 

THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMISTS IS TO BRING ABOUT THE GLOBAL 

WORLD GOVERNMENT AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 104:33-34  PG 553

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing 

praise to my God while I have my being.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the 

LORD.

IT IS GOOD TO THINK ABOUT THE LORD.  IF YOU AND THE LORD 

ARE ON THE SAME TEAM IT WILL MAKE YOU GLAD WHENEVER YOU 

TAKE TIME TO THINK OR MEDITATE ABOUT HIM.



Psalms 113:4-5  PG 553

The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory 

above the heavens.

Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

GREAT QUESTION - WHO IS LIKE THE LORD?  THINK ABOUT IT.



Psalms 117:1-2  PG 554

O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye 

people.

For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the 

truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

THIS MAY BE THE SHORTEST PSALM.  IT MAY BE SHORT BUT IT IS 

FULL.  MAYBE A GOOD ONE TO PICK FOR MEMORIZING.





MAY 3   PSALM 119                       PG 554 - 562



Psalms 119:1   PG 554

ALEPH. Blessed <are> the undefiled in the way, who walk in 

the law of the LORD.

THIS IS THE LONGEST PSALM.  IT IS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF 

THE BIBLE IN OUR LIVES.  THIS PSALM GIVES MANY GOOD 

REASONS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET TO KNOW THE WORD OF 

GOD.



Psalms 119:4-6  PG  554

Thou hast commanded <us> to keep thy precepts diligently.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all 

thy commandments.

I HAVE BEEN ASHAMED MANY TIMES BECAUSE I HAVE NOT FOLLOWED 

GOD'S PRINCIPLES.  I HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT GOD GAVE THE 

10 COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE HE MADE US AND KNEW WHAT MESSES WE 

WOULD MAKE OF OUR LIVES IF HE DID NOT GIVE US THE DIRECT 

GUIDANCE FOUND IN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.  THEY ARE NOT THE 

10 SUGGESTIONS.



Psalms 119:9   PG 555

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by 

taking heed <thereto> according to thy word.

WE ALL NEED TO CLEAN UP OUR ACT.  WE ARE BORN SINNERS.  

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEACH A CHILD HOW TO LIE.  YOU NEED TO 

TEACH THEM HOW IMPORTANT IS TO TELL THE TRUTH.  HOW DO WE 

CLEAN UP OUR ACT?  GET TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BIBLE, AND 

LIVE BY GOD'S PRINCIPLES.



Psalms 119:11  PG 555

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin 

against thee.

MEMORIZE THIS VERSE OF SCRIPTURE.  A TIME MAY COME WHEN IT 

WILL BE ILLEGAL TO HAVE A BIBLE UNDER THE WORLD GOVERNMENT 

AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF THE ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 119:15-16   PG 555

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy 

ways.

I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget 

thy word.

PEOPLE NEED TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE URGENCY OF GETTING TO 

KNOW GOD'S WORD.



Psalms 119:17-18  PG 555

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, <that> I may 

live, and keep thy word.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out 

of thy law.

GOD'S WORD IS UNDERSTOOD SPIRITUALLY.  THE HOLY SPIRIT 

OPENS OUR UNDERSTANDING AND CAUSES US TO HUNGER FOR THE 

WORD OF GOD.  OFTEN OUR EDUCATION CAN BE A BLOCK TO 

UNDERSTANDING GOD'S WORD.  THIS IS CERTAINLY TRUE IN 

AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE 

NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION WHICH IS PHILOSOPHICALLY 

ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 119:24   PG 555

Thy testimonies also <are> my delight <and> my 

counsellors.

WHEN GOD'S PRINCIPLES GUIDE YOUR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BETTER 

DECISIONS.  GOD'S WORD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE BEST 

COUNSEL THAT THERE IS.



Psalms 119:25   PG 555

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me 

according to thy word.

SOMETIMES CIRCUMSTANCES CAN MAKE YOU FEEL LOWER THAN WHALE 

DUNG.  GOD'S WORD CAN GIVE YOU THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO KEEP 

GOING WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T.



Psalms 119:28-30  PG 555 - 556

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me 

according unto thy word.

Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law 

graciously.

I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid 

<before me>.

GOD'S WORD STRENGTHENS US AND HELPS OUR INTEGRITY.



Psalms 119:33-34  PG 556

HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall 

keep it <unto> the end.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I 

shall observe it with <my> whole heart.

UNDERSTANDING.  UNDERSTANDING.  KNOWLEDGE IS THE BEGINNING 

BUT THE GOAL IS UNDERSTANDING.  IF WE FULLY UNDERSTOOD 

GOD'S WAYS IT WOULD SATISFY EVERY NEED WE EVER HAD.  GOD 

GIVES THE UNDERSTANDING.



Psalms 119:40   PG 556

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in 

thy righteousness.

MANY PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A 

GIFT THAT GOD GIVES.  NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS.  SELF 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FOOLISHNESS AND SELF DELUSION.  THE TRUTH 

IS THAT NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS.  SOME MAY BE MORE RIGHTEOUS 

THAN OTHERS, BUT UNLESS GOD GIVES YOU RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU 

CAN'T BE RIGHTEOUS.



Psalms 119:41   PG 556

VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, <even> thy 

salvation, according to thy word.

GOD'S MERCY IS INFINITE.  I AM LIVING PROOF OF HIS 

INFINITE MERCY.  WE ARE SAVED AND GIVEN ABUNDANT, ETERNAL, 

POWERFUL LIFE BY GOD THROUGH WHAT JESUS DID FOR US BASED 

ON THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S WORD.  THE ONLY THING GOD CAN'T 

DO IS LIE.  HOW COULD GOD MAINTAIN HIS INTEGRITY AND 

DECLARE ME TO BE RIGHTEOUS?  THE ONLY WAY IS IF GOD 

HIMSELF PAID THE FULL PENALTY OF MY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS FOR 

ME.  THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID FOR ME.  DO YOU KNOW HE 

HAS DONE THAT FOR YOU?  HAVE YOU ALLOWED GOD TO PAY THE 

FULL PRICE OF YOUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS?  IF YOU ARE TRYING TO 

PAY IT YOURSELF BY DOING ENOUGH GOOD WORKS - GIVE UP, IT 

IS IMPOSSIBLE.  SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.



Psalms 119:49-50   PG 556

ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou 

hast caused me to hope.

This <is> my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath 

quickened me.

WHERE ELSE WILL YOU ANCHOR YOUR HOPE?  IF YOUR HOPE IS 

ANCHORED ANYWHERE ELSE BUT IN GOD AND THE INTEGRITY OF HIS 

WORD, THAN THERE WILL SURELY COME A STORM IN WHICH YOUR 

ANCHOR WILL NOT HOLD.



Psalms 119:57-58   PG 557

CHETH. <Thou art> my portion, O LORD: I have said that I 

would keep thy words.

I entreated thy favour with <my> whole heart: be merciful 

unto me according to thy word.

THE INFINITE MERCY OF GOD IS BASED ON THE INTEGRITY OF HIS 

WORD AND THE ONLY THING GOD CAN'T DO IS LIE.



Psalms 119:65   PG 557

TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, 

according unto thy word.

HOW HAS GOD DEALT WITH YOU LATELY?



Psalms 119:73   PG 558

JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me 

understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

GOD IS OUR CREATOR.  GOD GIVES UNDERSTANDING.



Psalms 119:81   PG 558

CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: <but> I hope in 

thy word.

THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF HOW GOD GIVES SALVATION AS A FREE 

GIFT IS SO FANTASTIC THAT IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE FACT THAT 

THIS GIFT OF SALVATION IS BASED ON THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S 

WORD IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE.



Psalms 119:89-90  PG 558

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Thy faithfulness <is> unto all generations: thou hast 

established the earth, and it abideth.

GOD'S WORD IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.  IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE.  

YOU MAY NOT LIKE TO AGREE WITH PARTS OF GOD'S WORD BUT IF 

YOU CHOOSE TO DISAGREE WITH IT YOU CHOOSE TO BE WRONG.  

GOD IS GOD.  WHETHER WE AGREE OR DISAGREE DETERMINES IF WE 

ARE RIGHT OR WRONG.  ALL THE NUKES MAN CAN MAKE CAN NOT 

DESTROY THE PLANET.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE HIDDEN 

AGENDA OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREMISTS.



Psalms 119:97-99

MEM. O how love I thy law! it <is> my meditation all the 

day.

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine 

enemies: for they <are> ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy 

testimonies <are> my meditation.

THERE IS GREAT KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE TODAY.  

KNOWLEDGE AND THE AVAILABILITY OF KNOWLEDGE IS INCREASING 

AT ALMOST AN EXPONENTIAL RATE.  WISDOM IS WHAT WE NEED.  

WISDOM IS KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE.  

THE GREATEST TEACHER OR COUNSELOR IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.  YOU 

CAN GET ALL THE DEGREES AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD AND 

EASILY BE OUTSMARTED BY A CERTIFIED IDIOT WHO IS GIVEN 

UNDERSTANDING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.



Psalms 119:105   PG 559

NUN. Thy word <is> a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto 

my path.

THE WORD OF GOD IS THE BEST WAY TO AVOID STUMBLING AND 

CONFUSION.



Psalms 119:113-114   PG 559

SAMECH. I hate <vain> thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Thou <art> my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy 

word.

DO I HATE VAIN THOUGHTS AS MUCH AS I LOVE GOD'S WORD?  

THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION.  DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S 

OWN HEART.  I HAVEN'T GROWN TO THAT POINT YET.  HAVING GOD 

FOR MY HOPE AND PROTECTION - I CAN SAY AMEN TO THAT!



Psalms 119:129-130  PG 560

PE. Thy testimonies <are> wonderful: therefore doth my 

soul keep them.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth 

understanding unto the simple.

AN IDIOT WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S WORD 

WILL CONFOUND THE GENIUS WHO ONLY HAS GREAT INTELLIGENCE 

AND MAN'S KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM TO WORK WITH.



Psalms 119:137   PG 560

TZADDI. Righteous <art> thou, O LORD, and upright <are> 

thy judgments.

GOD IS RIGHTEOUS AND JUDGES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.



Psalms 119:142   PG 560

Thy righteousness <is> an everlasting righteousness, and 

thy law <is> the truth.

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT GOD GIVES LASTS FOREVER.  SELF 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SELF DECEPTION.  LET YOUR STANDARD FOR 

ABSOLUTE TRUTH BE THE BIBLE.  A BETTER SOURCE OF ABSOLUTE 

TRUTH DOES NOT EXIST.



Psalms 119:145   PG 561

KOPH. I cried with <my> whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I 

will keep thy statutes.

IS MY WHOLE HEART SET TO KEEPING GOD'S LAWS?



Psalms 119:153

RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do 

not forget thy law.

ONLY GOD HAS THE CAPABILITY TO DELIVER US FROM ANY AND ALL 

AFFLICTIONS.  WHO ELSE CAN DELIVER US FROM DEATH AND GIVE 

US ABUNDANT, POWERFUL, ETERNAL LIFE?



Psalms 119:161   PG 561

SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my 

heart standeth in awe of thy word.

ONLY GOD IS WORTHY OF AWE.  IT BOTHERS ME THE WAY KIDS 

TODAY THROW AROUND THE WORD AWESOME.



Psalms 119:169   PG 562

TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me 

understanding according to thy word.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S 

WORD BUT WHATEVER UNDERSTANDING WE CAN GET WILL HELP US.







MAY 4   PSALM 122, 124, 133 THRU 136, 138  PG 562 - 566



Psalms 122:1   David  PG 562

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the 

house of the LORD.

DOES THE THOUGHT OF GOING TO CHURCH MAKE YOU GLAD?  IF NOT 

WHY NOT?



Psalms 122:6   PG 562

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that 

love thee.

GOD TOLD ABRAHAM I'LL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU AND I'LL 

CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU.  IF YOU SUPPORT ISRAEL YOU WILL 

BE BLESSED BY GOD.  JERUSALEM WILL HAVE EVERLASTING PEACE 

WHEN JESUS RETURNS.  THE JEWS WILL RECOGNIZE HIM AS 

MESSIAH WHEN HE COMES BACK IN FULL POWER AND GLORY.  IN 

THE MEAN TIME NO REAL CHRISTIAN CAN FAIL TO STAND UP AND 

BE COUNTED IN FAVOR OF THE JEWS AND ISRAEL.



Psalms 124:1-3  DAVID   PG 562-563

If <it had not been> the LORD who was on our side, now may 

Israel say;

If <it had not been> the LORD who was on our side, when 

men rose up against us:

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was 

kindled against us:

DAVID THE GREAT KING AND PSALM WRITER WAS ALSO A GREAT 

PROPHET.  OUR GENERATION IS WITNESSING THE FULFILLMENT OF 

THIS PROPHESY AS NO OTHER GENERATION IN HISTORY EVER HAS.  

ALL THE WORLD WILL TURN AGAINST ISRAEL.  ANTICHRIST WILL 

OFFER A PEACE TREATY TO ISRAEL.  GOD HAS LONG PROMISED 

THAT HE WOULD REGATHER ISRAEL IN THE HOMELAND HE GAVE TO 

ABRAHAM.  WE ARE SEEING THIS BEING FULFILLED.  ONCE ISRAEL 

IS REGATHERED GOD WILL BE FIGHTING IN ISRAEL'S BATTLES 

WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD.  LOOK WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 

1964 WAR, 6 DAYS, THE 1967 WAR, YOM KIPPUR.  IN 1982 THE 

GREATEST AIR BATTLE EVER FOUGHT TOOK PLACE.  THE WORLD MAY 

NEVER AGAIN WITNESS SUCH A DOGFIGHT.  ISRAEL IN 1 DAY 

WIPED OUT THE ENTIRE SYRIAN AIR FORCE WHICH WAS EQUIPPED 

WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUSSIAN MIGS.  WE DIDN'T HEAR MUCH 

ABOUT IT IN THE NEWS BUT THE RESULTS OF THAT GREATEST 

DOGFIGHT IN HISTORY WAS 92 TO O.  IF GOD DID NOT HAVE HIS 

HAND IN THAT DOGFIGHT SOME SYRIAN WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF A 

LUCKY SHOT.



Psalms 133:1   David  PG 563

Behold, how good and how pleasant <it is> for brethren to 

dwell together in unity!

THIS IS THE GREAT NEED OF THE CHURCH TODAY - UNITY?  

CHRISTIANS NEED TO STOP WASTING ENERGY FIGHTING AMONG 

THEMSELVES AND FIGHT THE COMMON ENEMY.  THE LEVEL OF 

SPIRITUAL WARFARE WITH SATAN AND ANTICHRIST IS RAPIDLY 

INCREASING.  ONE CAN PUT 1000 TO FLIGHT AND 2 OF US CAN 

PUT 10,000 TO FLIGHT.  WE NEED UNITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE.



Psalms 135:1-3  PG 563 - 564

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise 

<him>, O ye servants of the LORD.

Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of 

the house of our God,

Praise the LORD; for the LORD <is> good: sing praises unto 

his name; for <it is> pleasant.

IT IS RIGHT AND GOOD TO PRAISE THE LORD.  IT IS GOOD ANY 

TIME BUT IT IS BETTER WITH A GROUP OF FELLOW BELIEVERS.



Psalms 136:1-5  PG 564 - 565

O give thanks unto the LORD; for <he is> good: for his 

mercy <endureth> for ever.

O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy 

<endureth> for ever.

O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy 

<endureth> for ever.

To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy 

<endureth> for ever.

To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy 

<endureth> for ever.

THIS WHOLE PSALM IS FANTASTIC.  CAN YOU GET THE MESSAGE? 

GOD IS SO GREAT AND HIS MERCY ENDURES FOR EVER.



Psalms 138:1-3   David  PG 566

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods 

will I sing praise unto thee.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name 

for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast 

magnified thy word above all thy name.

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, <and> 

strengthenedst me <with> strength in my soul.

GOD CAN GIVE YOU STRENGTH WHERE YOU NEED IT THE MOST IN 

YOU SOUL.







MAY 5   PSALM 139, 145, 148, 150,          PG 566 - 569



Psalms 139:1-7   A Psalm of David  PG 566

O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known <me>.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou 

understandest my thought afar off.

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art 

acquainted <with> all my ways.

For <there is> not a word in my tongue, <but>, lo, O LORD, 

thou knowest it altogether.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand 

upon me.

<Such> knowledge <is> too wonderful for me; it is high, I 

cannot <attain> unto it.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I 

flee from thy presence?

THIS WHOLE PSALM IS FANTASTIC.  THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT WITH 

ALL OF ITS SUNDRY CULTS AND THE ANTICHRIST RELIGION WOULD 

HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS AN IMPERSONAL GOD OF FORCES.  

WE ALL OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER.  GOD IS ANYTHING BUT 

IMPERSONAL.  JESUS SAID THE FATHER EVEN KNOWS THE NUMBER 

OF HAIRS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR HEAD.  GOD KNOWS EACH OF US 

BETTER THAN WE EVEN KNOW OURSELF.  WE CAN'T HIDE ANYTHING 

FROM HIM.  THAT IS WHY IT IS FOOLISH TO BE A HYPOCRITE.  

WE MIGHT FOOL EVERY MAN ON EARTH AND EVEN FOOL OURSELF, 

BUT WE CAN'T PUT ANYTHING PAST GOD.



Psalms 139:13-14  PG 567

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in 

my mother's womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully <and> wonderfully 

made: marvellous <are> thy works; and <that> my soul 

knoweth right well.

HERE IS ANOTHER VERY STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST ABORTION.  

DAVID SAYS THAT GOD KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS A FETUS IN HIS 

MOTHER'S WOMB.  DAVID KNEW HOW WONDERFULLY GOD MADE THE 

HUMAN BODY.  DAVID KNEW THAT THE HUMAN BEING IS MADE IN 

THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD.  DAVID UNDERSTOOD THE 

INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAN AND ANY ANIMAL.  DAVID 

SAW THAT MEN WERE GIVEN THE FREE WILL CHOICE TO USE THEIR 

TALENTS FOR GOD'S GLORY OR TO MAKE THEMSELVES A gOD TO 

THEMSELVES AND PAY THE ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH A 

CHOICE.



Psalms 139:17-18  PG 567

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how 

great is the sum of them!

<If> I should count them, they are more in number than the 

sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

GOD'S WAYS AND GOD'S THOUGHTS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS AND 

THOUGHTS.  GOD DOES REVEAL HIMSELF AND HIS WAYS TO US 

THROUGH HIS CREATION AND HIS WORD.  HE REWARDS ANYONE WHO 

WILL SEEK TO KNOW HIM.  WE ALL NEED TO THINK ABOUT THINGS 

AS GOD THINKS ABOUT THEM.  FOR SURE WE WILL BE BLESSED.



Psalms 139:21-24   PG 567

Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I 

grieved with those that rise up against thee?

I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine 

enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my 

thoughts:

And see if <there be any> wicked way in me, and lead me in 

the way everlasting.

IT IS HIGH TIME FOR THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST TO QUIT 

FIGHTING AMONG ITSELF AND FIGHT THOSE WHO ARE ANTICHRIST.  

BEFORE WE GO INTO THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE WE NEED TO BE SURE 

THAT WE ARE READY FOR THE BATTLE.  IF GOD IS WITH US WE 

WIN.  IF NOT WE LOOSE.  IT IS ONLY OUR INIQUITY WHICH WILL 

SEPARATE US FROM GOD.  THEREFORE WE NEED TO ASK GOD TO 

SEARCH US BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY WICKED 

WAY THAT WE NEED TO TAKE TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS AND/OR 

CHANGING.



Psalms 145   David's <Psalm> of praise. PG 567 -568

I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy 

name for ever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name 

for ever and ever.

Great <is> the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his 

greatness <is> unsearchable.

One generation shall praise thy works to another, and 

shall declare thy mighty acts.

I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of 

thy wondrous works.

And <men> shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: 

and I will declare thy greatness.

They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great 

goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

The LORD <is> gracious, and full of compassion; slow to 

anger, and of great mercy.

The LORD <is> good to all: and his tender mercies <are> 

over all his works.

All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints 

shall bless thee.

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of 

thy power;

To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the 

glorious majesty of his kingdom.

Thy kingdom <is> an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion 

<endureth> throughout all generations.

The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all 

<those that be> bowed down.

The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their 

meat in due season.

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of 

every living thing.

The LORD <is> righteous in all his ways, and holy in all 

his works.

The LORD <is> nigh unto all them that call upon him, to 

all that call upon him in truth.

He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also 

will hear their cry, and will save them.

The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the 

wicked will he destroy.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all 

flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

DAVID REALLY KNEW GOD.  IT IS NO WONDER WHY IN Acts 13:22

IT SAYS THAT GOD ... raised up unto them [David] to be 

their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I 

have found [David] the <son> of Jesse, a man after mine 

own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.  IN THE HISTORY 

OF AMERICA THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN THE LEADERS OF 

AMERICA WERE GODLY MEN.  NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE 

CHRISTIANS, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME, TO 

HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS 

AND SEEK GOD.  DON'T BE CONTENT WITH THE STATUS QUO 

WAITING FOR THE RAPTURE RIDE.  SPIRITUAL WARRIORS ARE 

NEEDED TO OCCUPY TILL HE COMES AT THE END OF THE 

TRIBULATION.

Psalms 148:1-2  PG 568

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: 

praise him in the heights.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his 

hosts.

NO DOUBT THE ANGLES REALLY KNOW HOW TO PRAISE GOD.  THEY 

HAVE HAD MUCH MORE TIME TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE AND MUCH 

MORE PRACTICE AT PRAISING HIM.  IT WILL BE FANTASTIC TO 

SOME DAY JOIN IN WITH THEM IN PRAISING GOD.



Psalms 150:2  PG 569

Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to 

his excellent greatness.

Psalms 150:6

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise 

ye the LORD.

LET EVERYTHING THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD.







MAY 6   PSALM 4, 12, 20, 25, 32, 38        PG 570 - 574



Psalms 4:1   A Psalm of David  PG 570

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast 

enlarged me <when I was> in distress; have mercy upon me, 

and hear my prayer.

O ye sons of men, how long <will ye turn> my glory into 

shame? <how long> will ye love vanity, <and> seek after 

leasing? Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly 

for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart 

upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.  HOW 

LONG WILL WE TAKE THE GLORIOUS NAME OF CHRISTIAN AND BRING 

SHAME UPON THE NAME OF OUR LORD?  HOW LONG WILL WE PERSIST 

IN VANITY AND DECEIT?   A GREAT WAY OF PRAYING IS JUST TO 

COMMUNE WITH GOD WITH YOUR MIND AS YOU LIE STILL ON YOUR 

BED, JUST YOU AND GOD KNOW SUCH PRAYERS FROM YOUR HEART.



Psalms 12:1-3   A Psalm of David  PG 570

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful 

fail from among the children of men.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: <with> 

flattering lips <and> with a double heart do they speak.

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, <and> the 

tongue that speaketh proud things:

WHAT A PROPER PRAYER FOR OUR NATION TODAY.



Psalms 20:5  PG 571

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our 

God we will set up <our> banners: the LORD fulfil all thy 

petitions.

THIS WHOLE PSALM IS A GOOD PRAYER FOR YOUR FRIENDS.

Psalms 20:7  PG 571

Some <trust> in chariots, and some in horses: but we will 

remember the name of the LORD our God.

IN WHOM OR IN WHAT DO YOU PLACE YOUR TRUST?



Psalms 25:1-2  A <Psalm> of David  PG 571

Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not 

mine enemies triumph over me.

THESE FIRST 2 VERSES OF PSALM 25 HAVE BEEN PUT TO MUSIC IN 

A POPULAR CHRISTIAN MUSIC ALBUM.  HAVE YOU HEARD IT?



Psalms 25:11  PG 572

For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it 

<is> great.

NOW HERE IS A GOOD REASON FOR GOD TO FORGIVE US.  HE HAS 

ALLOWED US TO TAKE HIS NAME.  IT IS GOOD TO ASK HIS 

FORGIVENESS FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.  HE WANTS TO FORGIVE US 

MORE THAN WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN.  HE ALSO HAS A SEA OF 

FORGETFULNESS INTO WHICH OUR SINS GO WHEN WE CONFESS THEM.  

HE THROWS THEM AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST.  YOU 

CAN ASK HIM 2 MINUTES AFTER CONFESSING A SIN IF HE 

REMEMBERS THAT SIN YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT AND HE WILL 

SAY NO.  BECAUSE HE CHOOSES TO FORGET THEM AND HAS THE 

CAPABILITY TO FORGET THEM.  WE DON'T HAVE A SEA OF 

FORGETFULNESS.  WE CAN OFTEN FORGIVE OUR BROTHERS AND 

SISTERS BUT IT IS NOT EASY TO FORGET.  YET IF WE ARE TO 

LIVE GODLY WE NEED TO TRY TO FORGET THOSE THINGS.



Psalms 32:1-2  <A Psalm> of David  PG 572 - 573

Blessed <is he whose> transgression <is> forgiven, <whose> 

sin <is> covered.

Blessed <is> the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not 

iniquity, and in whose spirit <there is> no guile.

THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COVERING YOUR SIN AND 

HAVING YOUR SIN COVERED.  HERE DAVID IS TALKING ABOUT 

CONFESSING HIS SIN TO GOD AND THAT HAPPINESS COMES WHEN 

GOD COVERS HIS SIN.  GOD FORGIVES SIN BECAUSE THEY ARE 

COVERED BY THE BLOOD WHICH JESUS SHED ON CALVARY.  WE 

STILL NEED TO CONFESS THE SIN TO GOD FOR GOD TO COVER THE 

SIN.  WHEN WE COVER OUR SIN IT IS GUILE.  WHEN WE HIDE OUR 

SINS INSTEAD OF CONFESSING THEM TO GOD OUR SPIRIT IS 

FILLED WITH GUILE OR DECEIT.



Psalms 32:5   PG 573

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I 

not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the 

LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

HERE IS WHY DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.  HE DID 

NOT HIDE HIS SINS.  HE CONFESSED THEM.  SELAH - THINK 

ABOUT IT.



Psalms 38:1  A Psalm of David  PG 573

O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in 

thy hot displeasure.

GOD IS MORE THAN WILLING TO FORGIVE OUR SINS.  CHRIST HAS 

PAID THE FULL PENALTY OF ALL OF OUR SINS.  IT MAKES GOD 

ANGRY THAT WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US BY 

THE GREAT SACRIFICE WHICH HE MADE FOR US ON CALVARY.  IF 

WE REFUSE TO CONFESS OUR SINS AND DIE IN THEM RATHER THAN 

ACCEPTING THE FORGIVENESS HE OFFERS WE WILL FACE HIS 

WRATH.  THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY.  THE SALVATION OF GOD 

IN CHRIST JESUS IS SO FANTASTIC IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE.  WE 

CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE PRICE THAT JESUS PAID FOR US ON 

CALVARY.  IT IS NOT CHEAP GRACE THAT GOD OFFERS US.  IF IT 

IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND JUST REMEMBER THAT GOD IS GOD.  HE 

MAKES THE RULES.  WHETHER WE UNDERSTAND IT OR NOT WE HAVE 

GOT TO BELIEVE IT BECAUSE GOD SAID SO.  WHAT A CHOICE - 

THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF GOD'S GRACE IN JESUS CHRIST OR 

HELL.  WILL YOU CHOOSE GOD'S WAY OR SOME OTHER WAY?  JESUS 

IS THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.







MAY 7   PSALM 42, 53, 58, 81, 101            PG 574 - 578



Psalms 42:1  Korah  PG 574

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my 

soul after thee, O God.

AS THE DEER PANT IN THEIR THIRSTY SEARCH FOR A STREAM OF 

WATER - SO DOES MY SOUL THIRST FOR GOD.



Psalms 42:2   PG 574

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall 

I come and appear before God?

DO YOU LONG TO SEE GOD FACE TO FACE AND HAVE HIM TELL YOU 

THAT YOU MAY REMAIN WITH HIM FOR ETERNITY?  WE KNOW THAT 

WE WILL BE WITH HIM BECAUSE JESUS HAS PAID THE PRICE FOR 

US.  WE KNOW THIS ON THE BASIS OF THE INTEGRITY OF HIS 

WORD YET DON'T YOU STILL LONG TO SEE HIM FACE TO FACE AND 

HAVE HIM SAY IT TO YOU DIRECTLY.



Psalms 42:3   PG 574

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they 

continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?

COUNT ON IT, DON'T BE SURPRISED, EXPECT IT.  THE WORLD 

WILL PERSECUTE YOU.  YOU WILL BE TAUNTED - WHERE IS YOUR 

GOD?  JESUS SAID - Matthew 5:11&12 Blessed are ye, when 

[men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say 

all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.   

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward 

in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were 

before you.

PERSECUTION IS A PART OF THE LIFE OF THE CHRISTIAN.  WHEN 

YOU ARE PERSECUTED IT IS A CAUSE FOR REJOICING.  THAT IS 

HOW YOU MAY BE SURE YOU ARE A GOOD CHRISTIAN WHEN YOU ARE 

PERSECUTED.



Psalms 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] 

art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall 

yet praise him [for] the help of his countenance.

ARE YOU DOWN?   ARE YOU IN THE PITS?   PUT YOUR TRUST IN 

GOD AND PRAISE HIM.  PRAISING GOD IS THE QUICKEST WAY, THE 

BEST WAY, AND SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE PITS.



Psalms 42:8 [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness 

in the daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with 

me, [and] my prayer unto the God of my life.

THINK OF THE LORD AND HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU.  COMMUNE WITH 

HIM IN YOUR THOUGHTS AT NIGHT.  IT IS THE WAY OF ETERNAL 

ABUNDANT LIFE.



Psalms 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why 

art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I 

shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my 

countenance, and my God.

USUALLY DEPRESSION IS THE RESULT OF NOT BEING CLOSE TO 

GOD.  WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT SOMETIMES WE FORGET 

THAT IT IS GOD WHO IS THE SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD THING IN 

OUR LIFE.  SIN WILL SURELY SEPARATE US FROM GOD.  IF YOU 

ARE DEPRESSED SEARCH YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR ANY UNCONFESSED 

SIN AND IF YOU ARE HARBORING UNFORGIVNESS OR BITTERNESS 

TOWARD ANYONE.  IF YOU HAVE CONFESSED YOUR SINS AND 

FORGIVEN THOSE WHO HAVE HURT YOU, THEN START PRAISING GOD.  

GOD INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE.  WHEN YOU ARE 

CLOSE TO GOD YOU CAN'T BE DEPRESSED.  GETTING CLOSE TO GOD 

AND EXPERIENCING HIS PRESENCE IS THE SURE PROVEN WAY TO 

OVERCOME DEPRESSION.  THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH



Psalms 53:1 A Psalm of David   PG 575

The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. 

Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: 

[there is] none that doeth good.

HERE IS THE CLASSIC DEFINITION OF A FOOL.  THE FOOL SAYS 

IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 

GOOD FOOL.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD ATHEIST.  

FULL BLOWN CORRUPTION IS WHAT MAKES PEOPLE EMBRACE 

ATHEISM.



Psalms 53:2-3  PG 575 God looked down from heaven upon the 

children of men, to see if there were [any] that did 

understand, that did seek God.

Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become 

filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.

THIS IS THE TRUTH.  NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS.  NO ONE CAN BE 

RIGHTEOUS ON THEIR OWN.  SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SELF 

DECEPTION.  RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT OF GOD.  IF GOD 

DECLARES YOU RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR 

YOUR SINS ON CALVARY THAN YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS BY A GIFT OF 

GOD.  SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS STINKS.  A MARK OF HOLINESS IS 

THAT ONE BEGINS TO REALIZE HOW DISPARATELY WICKED HIS 

HEART REALLY IS.  THERE IS HOPE ONLY IN GOD'S INFINITE 

MERCY.



Psalms 58:1   David   PG 576

Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye 

judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

THESE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS.  THE TRUTH IS THAT OUR HEARTS 

ARE DISPARATELY WICKED?  WE CAN'T FIX THEM BUT GOD CAN.



Psalms 58:2-3  PG 576

Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of 

your hands in the earth.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as 

soon as they be born, speaking lies.

WE ARE ALL BORN LIARS.  WE NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN BY THE 

HOLY SPIRIT TO REALLY KNOW THE TRUTH AND FIND ABUNDANT, 

POWERFUL, ETERNAL LIFE.



Psalms 58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a 

reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth 

in the earth.

THERE TRULY IS A GREAT REWARD FOR THE RIGHTEOUS.  NO ONE 

WANTS THE REWARD OF THE SELF RIGHTEOUS.





Psalms 101  A Psalm of David  PG 577 -578

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will 

I sing.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt 

thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a 

perfect heart.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the 

work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a 

wicked [person].

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut 

off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not 

I suffer.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that 

they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, 

he shall serve me.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he 

that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I 

may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

DO WE PICK OUR FRIENDS LIKE DAVID DID?  A BETTER QUESTION 

IS - WOULD DAVID HAVE ME FOR A FRIEND?







MAY 8   PSALM 111, 130, 131, 141, 146        PG 578 - 580



Psalms 111:1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD 

with [my] whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and 

[in] the congregation.

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU PRAISED GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE 

HEART IN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH CONGREGATION?  MANY MAY HAVE 

DIFFICULTY IN RECALLING WHEN THEY PRAISED GOD WITH THEIR 

WHOLE HEART IN THEIR LOCAL CHURCH.  MANY CHURCHES HAVE 

VERY FORMAL AND PROPER WORSHIP SERVICES.  I RECALL THE 

SERVICE WHERE ONE OF OUR ELDERS, JERRY HENDRICKS, HAD BEEN 

MIRACULOUSLY HEALED.  THE PRAISE WAS WITH  THE WHOLE HEART 

OF THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY.  IT WAS NOT WILDLY EMOTIONAL YET IT 

WAS WITH THE WHOLE HEART BY THE WHOLE CONGREGATION.  IS 

THE PRESENCE AND POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT A PART OF YOUR 

LOCAL CHURCH WORSHIP EXPERIENCE?



Psalms 111:2 The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out 

of all them that have pleasure therein.

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION - HOW WONDERFUL ARE THE THINGS THE 

LORD DOES!  ALL WHO ARE DELIGHTED WITH THEM WANT TO 

UNDERSTAND THEM.



Psalms 111:4-5  PG 578

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the 

LORD [is] gracious and full of compassion.

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever 

be mindful of his covenant.

WE ALL SHOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME EACH DAY THINKING ABOUT 

GOD'S GREAT AND WONDERFUL WORKS.  IT IS HELPFUL TO LIVE IN 

THE HILL COUNTRY WHERE YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY TREES, WILD 

FLOWERS, DEER AND BIRDS INSTEAD OF CONCRETE AND ASPHALT.  

YET OUR MAGNIFICENT AND WONDERFUL CREATOR IS FULL OF 

COMPASSION.  HE PROMISES TO MEET ALL OF OUR NEEDS.  NOT 

NECESSARILY ALL OF OUR WANTS BUT SURELY ALL OF OUR NEEDS.  

HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES.



Psalms 111:7-10  PG 578

The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his 

commandments [are] sure.

They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth 

and uprightness.

He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his 

covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.

The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good 

understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: 

his praise endureth for ever.

EVERYTHING GOD DOES IS JUST, TRUE, RIGHT AND DEPENDABLE.  

GOD IS INFINITE IN HOLINESS, POWER, TRUTH, JUSTICE AND 

MERCY.  THE INFINITE REQUIREMENTS OF GOD'S JUSTICE AND 

MERCY WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER FOR US IN JESUS CHRIST.  ONLY 

JESUS CAN MAKE A WAY FOR US SINNERS TO FIND GOD'S ABSOLUTE 

JUSTICE AND INFINITE MERCY.  THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.



Psalms 130:3   PG 578

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who

shall stand?

THE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS THAT NO ONE COULD STAND.



Psalms 130:4   PG 578

But [there is] forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be 

feared.

BECAUSE GOD FORGIVES US WE SHOULD REVERENTLY OBEY HIM.



Psalms 130:5   PG 578

I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do 

I hope.

I EAGERLY WAIT FOR THE LORD'S HELP AND I TRUST IN HIS WORD



Psalms 131:1-2   David   PG 579

LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: 

neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in 

things too high for me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that 

is weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned 

child.

WHEN WE CAN GIVE UP OUR PRIDE AND ARROGANCE THEN WE CAN 

FIND PEACE.  GOD SUBJECTED THE WHOLE CREATION TO VANITY IN 

THE HOPE THAT WITH OUR SELF CONSCIEOUSNESS AND FREE WILL 

WE WOULD STILL CHOSE TO SUBMIT TO HIM.  IF WE WILL HUMBLE 

OURSELVES, WE CAN FIND PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING.  

THE BEST WAY DAVID COULD FIND TO EXPRESS THIS PEACE THAT 

PASSES UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WHICH A BABY HAS LYING 

QUIETLY IN THE ARMS OF ITS MOTHER.



Psalms 141:1  A Psalm of David.  PG 579 - 580

LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto 

my voice, when I cry unto thee.

THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY - CRY TO GOD.  OUR FRIENDS DON'T 

WANT TO HEAR US CRY.  OUR FRIENDS WANT US TO BE JOYFUL. 

BUT GOD KNOWS HOW WE FEEL AND HE IS ALWAYS LISTENING WHEN 

WE CRY TO HIM.  WE NEED TO TAKE OUR PROBLEMS TO HIM AS 

WELL AS OUR PRAISES.



Psalms 141:3   PG 579

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my 

lips.

WOW!  THIS NEEDS TO BE MY PRAYER!



Psalms 141:5   PG 579

Let the righteous smite me; [it shall be] a kindness: and 

let him reprove me; [it shall be] an excellent oil, 

[which] shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also 

[shall be] in their calamities.

LET THE GODLY SMITE ME!  IT WILL BE A KINDNESS!  IF THEY 

REPROOVE ME, IT IS MEDICINE!  DON'T LET ME REFUSE IT.  BUT 

I AM IN CONSTANT PRAYER AGAINST THE WICKED AND THEIR 

DEEDS.







MAY 9   PSALM 2, 22, 27,                   PG 580 - 580



Psalms 2:1-3  PG 580 - 581

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain 

thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take 

counsel together, against the LORD, and against his 

anointed, [saying],

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their 

cords from us.

THIS IS A PROPHETIC PSALM ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF THE 

LORD JESUS CHRIST.  WHAT IS THE VAIN THING THAT THE PEOPLE 

AND THEIR RULERS IMAGINE?  A GLOBAL WORLD GOVERNMENT WHICH 

CAN PROVIDE PEACE, AND FAIRNESS FOR ALL.  THIS GLOBAL 

WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL ACTUALLY BRING THE PERIOD OF HISTORY 

KNOWN AS 7 YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION.  THE CHRISTIAN WHO 

KNOWS HIS BIBLE ALSO KNOWS THAT ANY WORLD GOVERNMENT 

BEFORE JESUS RETURNS WILL BE THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OF THE 

ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 2:4-5  PG 581

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall 

have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them 

in his sore displeasure.

GOD IS SO POWERFUL AND MIGHTY THAT IT CAN ONLY MAKE HIM 

LAUGH WHEN THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD AND THEIR RULERS SET 

THEMSELVES AGAINST HIM TO BRING IN THE GLOBAL WORLD 

GOVERNMENT OF ANTICHRIST.



Psalms 2:6-9  PG 581

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, 

Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine 

inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] 

thy possession.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash 

them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

GOD WILL ALLOW THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT OF ANTICHRIST TO PLAY 

THEIR FOOLISHNESS 7 YEARS.  GOD MAKES IT CLEAR HIS KING 

JESUS WILL COME AGAIN TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES IN JERUSALEM.  

JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD IS KING OF 

KINGS.  HE SHALL RULE THE WORLD WITH A ROD OF IRON FOR THE 

1000 YEAR MILLENNIUM FROM ZION.  HE WILL CRUSH THE 

ASSEMBLED ARMIES OF ANTICHRIST WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS 

COMING AND THEY WILL ALL BE DESTROYED BY HIS WORD AT HIS 

RETURN.  EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS.



Psalms 2:10-12  PG 581

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye 

judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the 

way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] 

all they that put their trust in him.

IF YOU WOULD BE WISE - SERVE THE LORD WITH FEAR AND 

TREMBLING NOW.  KISS THE SON, CLING TO JESUS, PUT ALL YOUR 

TRUST IN JESUS AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY AND BLESSED.  NO ONE 

WILL BE ABLE TO STAND THE WRATH OF JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE 

RETURNS.



Psalms 22:1  A Psalm of David.   PG 581

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou 

so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my 

roaring?

IN THIS PSALM WE SEE DAVID THE GREAT PSALMIST KING AS THE 

GREAT PROPHET TALKING ABOUT JESUS.  THESE ARE THE EXACT 

WORDS OF JESUS AS HE WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS. SEE MATT. 

27:46 AND MARK 15:334



Psalms 22:14-18   PG 582

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of 

joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of 

my bowels.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue 

cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the 

dust of death.

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked 

have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.

They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my 

vesture.

IN POETRY OR PROSE IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND A MORE 

ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS.



Psalms 27:1-3  A Psalm of David.  PG 583 -584

The LORD [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I 

fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall 

I be afraid?

When the wicked, [even] mine enemies and my foes, came 

upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall 

not fear: though war should rise against me, in this 

[will] I [be] confident.

GOD IS MY SALVATION.  I CERTAINLY DON'T EVER WANT TO GET 

WHAT I DESERVE.  HELL IS WHAT I DESERVE.  BUT THANKS BE TO 

GOD, JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR ALL OF MY SINS.  BEFORE 

JESUS SAVED ME I HAD MANY FEARS.  NOW I ONLY FEAR GOD.  

ONLY GOD IS WORTHY OF ANYONE'S FEAR.  ALL OF MY CONFIDENCE 

IS IN HIM.  MY APPARENT STRONG SELF CONFIDENCE NOW IS A 

RESULT OF MY CONFIDENCE IN JESUS.



Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he 

shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

THIS IS THE HARDEST THING FOR ME TO DO.  I HATE TO WAIT.  

HOW WELL DO YOU WAIT ON THE LORD.  DO YOU HAVE ANY 

SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?

MAY 10   PSALM 45, 47, 48, 87, 110         PG 584 - 587



Psalms 45:1-4  sons of Korah  PG 584 -585

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things 

which I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the 

pen of a ready writer.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured 

into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy 

glory and thy majesty.

And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and 

meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall 

teach thee terrible things.

TALKING ABOUT THE GLORIOUS SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.  

MAYBE WE WILL BE ALIVE TO SEE IT.  IT WILL SURELY BE 

GLORIOUS.



Psalms 48:1-2  sons of Korah

Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city 

of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] 

mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the 

great King.

I CAN REMEMBER SINGING THE SONG COMPOSED FROM THESE 2 

VERSES.  HAVE YOU HEARD IT?



Psalms 110:1  A Psalm of David  PG 587

The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, 

until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

DAVID IS TALKING ABOUT JESUS AGAIN.  LOOK AT  THE 

FOLLOWING VERSES IN HEBREWS AND ACTS.

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any 

time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy 

footstool?

Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God 

had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his 

loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to 

sit on his throne;

Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection 

of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his 

flesh did see corruption.

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but 

he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on 

my right hand,

Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.



Psalms 110:4   PG 587

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a 

priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

JESUS IS THE GREAT ETERNAL HIGH PRIEST FOR EVERYONE.

I Timothy 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator 

between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;





MAY 11   1 KINGS 1:, 2:, 2 SAMUEL 23       PG 587 - 591



I Kings 1:1-2  PG 588

Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they 

covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought 

for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand 

before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie 

in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

THIS SOUNDS STRANGE BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ELECTRIC BLANKETS 

BACK THEN.



I Kings 1:5-7  PG 588

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, 

I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, 

and fifty men to run before him.

And his father had not displeased him at any time in 

saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also [was a] very 

goodly [man]; and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.

And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with 

Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped 

[him].

WHY WOULD JOAB HELP ADONIJAH?



I Kings 1:10   PG 590

But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, 

and Solomon his brother, he called not.

ADONIJAH KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS WRONG BECAUSE HE DID 

NOT CALL NATHAN THE PROPHET.  JOAB SHOULD HAVE INSISTED ON 

NATHAN'S ATTENDANCE.  NATHAN THE PROPHET WOULD KNOW GOD'S 

CHOICE TO OCCUPY THE THRONE OF DAVID.



I Kings 1:16-19   PG 588

And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And 

the king said, What wouldest thou?

And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD 

thy God unto thine handmaid, [saying], Assuredly Solomon 

thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my 

throne.

And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the 

king, thou knowest [it] not:

And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in 

abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and 

Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but 

Solomon thy servant hath he not called.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT JOAB MIGHT HAVE AGAINST SOLOMON 

BEING KING?  REMEMBER JOAB SENT BATHSHEBA'S HUSBAND URIAH 

TO BE KILLED AT DAVID'S REQUEST.



I Kings 1:24-27   PG 588 -589

And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah 

shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat 

cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the 

king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar 

the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, 

and say, God save king Adonijah.

But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and 

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath 

he not called.

Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not 

shewed [it] unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne 

of my lord the king after him?

NATHAN CONFIRMS BATHSHEBA'S REPORT TO DAVID AND ASKS DAVID 

WHY HE WOULD HAVE ABIATHAR DO THIS WITHOUT TELLING THEM.



I Kings 1:32-37   PG 589

And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan 

the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they 

came before the king.

The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants 

of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine 

own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him 

there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and 

say, God save king Solomon.

Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit 

upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I 

have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and 

said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so [too].

As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he 

with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne 

of my lord king David.

DAVID TOOK ACTION TO MAKE SOLOMON KING.  GOOD INTENTIONS 

WITHOUT ACTION DOESN'T PRODUCE GOOD RESULTS.



I Kings 1:46-53  PG 589 - 590

And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.

And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord 

king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better 

than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy 

throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.

And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God of 

Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this 

day, mine eyes even seeing [it].

And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were afraid, 

and rose up, and went every man his way.

And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and 

went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth 

king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of 

the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today 

that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, 

there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if 

wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the 

altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and 

Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.

SOLOMON SHOWS WISDOM AND MERCY IN DEALING WITH HIS 

BROTHER.  HE DID NOT HAVE HIM PUT TO DEATH.  BUT HE WOULD 

NOT MAKE AN UNCONDITIONAL PROMISE.  ADONIJAH WOULD HAVE TO 

PROVE HIS LOYALTY TO SOLOMON.  ANY REBELLION WOULD BE 

CRUSHED AND ADONIJAH WOULD HAVE TO KEEP A LOW PROFILE AND 

PUBLICLY PLEDGE LOYALTY TO SOLOMON.



II Samuel 23:1-7 the last words of David   PG 590

David the son of Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised 

up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the 

sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word [was] in 

my tongue.

DAVID KNEW THE HOLY SPIRIT GAVE HIM GOD'S WORD TO DELIVER 

TO ALL BELIEVERS.



II Samuel 23:3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel 

spake to me, He that ruleth over men [must be] just, 

ruling in the fear of God.

WHEN VOTING FOR YOUR RULERS IS THE FEAR OF GOD THE MAIN 

VIRTUE OF THE CANDIDATE WHO GETS YOUR VOTE.  HOW DOES ONE 

KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE ONE WITH THE FEAR OF GOD?  FRANCIS 

SCHAEFER SAID THAT IN OUR DAY IT WOULD BE THE CANDIDATE'S 

POSITION REGARDING ABORTION.  PRO LIFE FEARS GOD - PRO 

CHOICE DOES NOT FEAR GOD.



I Kings 2:1-3  PG 590

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he 

charged Solomon his son, saying,

I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, 

and shew thyself a man;

And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his 

ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his 

judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the 

law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou 

doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

SHOW THAT YOU ARE A MAN - DAVID AS HE DELIVERS HIS LAST 

WORDS TO SOLOMON.  HOW?  1)DO THE JOB GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.  

2)KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.  JUST DO THESE 2 THINGS TO SHOW 

THAT YOU ARE A MAN AND YOU WILL PROSPER IN EVERYTHING THAT 

YOU DO.



I Kings 2:5-6   PG 591

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah 

did to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the 

hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa 

the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war 

in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that 

[was] about his loins, and in his shoes that [were] on his 

feet.

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar 

head go down to the grave in peace.

I OWE YOU ALL AN APOLOGY FOR TELLING YOU THAT I THOUGHT 

JOAB WAS A GREAT HERO.  HIS BIG PROBLEM WAS BEING TOO 

QUICK TO TAKE THINGS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.  JOAB WAS A 

BLOODY MAN OF ACTION.  DAVID KNEW HE WOULD BE A POSSIBLE 

PROBLEM FOR SOLOMON AND MORE OR LESS TOLD SOLOMON TO 

DISPOSE OF JOAB.  JOAB KNEW DAVID SHOULD INSTALL ONE OF 

HIS SONS ON THE THRONE BEFORE WORD OF DAVID'S FAILING 

HEALTH AND WEAKNESS GOT TO THE POTENTIAL ENEMIES OF 

ISRAEL.  JOAB WAS FORCING DAVID'S HAND BY HELPING 

ADONIJAH.  THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS.  GOD ALWAYS 

PLACES US UNDER AUTHORITY, AND REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF 

WITCHCRAFT.  IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE 

AUTHORITY THAT GOD PLACES US UNDER AND TO SUBMIT TO THAT 

AUTHORITY.  IF THAT AUTHORITY IS IN ERROR DIRECTLY 

CONFRONT THE PERSON IN A LOVING UNCOMPROMISING WAY AND 

TRUST GOD TO DO WHATEVER FURTHER DEALING IS NECESSARY WITH 

THAT AUTHORITY.  DO NOT TAKE THINGS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS.  

TRUST GOD NOT YOURSELF.



I Kings 2:8-9  PG 591

And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, 

a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous 

curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down 

to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, 

saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou [art] a 

wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; 

but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.

SHIMEI THE BENJAMITE THAT CURSED DAVID IS FINALLY GOING TO 

GET HIS JUST REWARD AT THE HANDS OF SOLOMON.



I Kings 2:10-11  PG 591

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the 

city of David.

And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty 

years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and 

three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and 

his kingdom was established greatly.

DAVID RULED 40 YEARS, DIED AND WAS BURIED IN JERUSALEM.  

SOLOMON WAS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED AS KING AND THE KINGDOM 

PROSPERED GREATLY IN PEACE.







MAY 12   1 KINGS 2, 3,  2 CHRON. 1         PG 591 - 595



I Kings 2:17-25    PG 592

And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, 

(for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag 

the Shunammite to wife.

18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto 

the king.

21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to 

Adonijah thy brother to wife.

22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And 

why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask 

for him the kingdom also; for he [is] mine elder brother; 

even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab 

the son of Zeruiah.

23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so 

to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this 

word against his own life.

24 Now therefore, [as] the LORD liveth, which hath 

established me, and set me on the throne of David my 

father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, 

Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of 

Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

HEAVY POLITICS ARE INVOLVED HERE.  BATHSHEBA PROBABLY HAD 

NO GREAT LOVE LOSS FOR ABISHAG.  NO DOUBT SHE WAS NEVER 

CONSULTED REGARDING THIS SOLUTION TO DAVID'S NEED FOR AN 

ELECTRIC BLANKET.  SHE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT HER SON, 

KING SOLOMON, TO GET EYES FOR ABISHAG.  THIS REALLY SHOWS 

SOLOMON'S POLITICAL WISDOM.  HE HAD TOLD ADONIJAH THAT HIS 

LIFE WOULD ONLY BE SPARED IF HE BEHAVED HIMSELF.  IF 

ADONIJAH HAD BEEN GIVEN ABISHAG HE WOULD SOON HAVE 

DETHRONED SOLOMON.  ABISHAG WAS WITH DAVID IN HIS LAST 

DAYS.  SHE COULD HAVE TOLD THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL THAT 

DAVID HAD REALLY WANTED HIS OLDER SON ADONIJAH TO BE KING.  

SHE COULD HAVE DENIED THAT DAVID BOWED TO SOLOMON ON HIS 

BED.  SHE COULD HAVE TOLD THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL THAT 

SOLOMON, BATHSHEBA, AND NATHAN HAD CONSPIRED TO USURP THE 

THRONE FROM HER HUSBAND.  SOLOMON QUICKLY RECOGNIZED THE 

IMPLICATIONS AND KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ADONIJAH AND 

IMMEDIATELY HAD HIM EXECUTED.



I Kings 2:28-31  PG 593

Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after 

Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab 

fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on 

the horns of the altar.

And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the 

tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, [he is] by the altar. 

Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, 

fall upon him.

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said 

unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, 

Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king 

word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered 

me.

And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall 

upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the 

innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the 

house of my father.

SOLOMON HAD JOAB EXECUTED.  JOAB WAS A GREAT GENERAL AND 

HAD DONE MUCH GREAT SERVICE TO HIS KING DAVID.  HE WAS TOO 

QUICK TO TAKE THINGS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.  JOAB WAS THE MAN 

WHO EXECUTED THE ORDER FOR URIAH'S DEATH.  THEREFORE 

DAVID'S SON BY URIAH'S WIFE WOULD NOT BE JOAB'S NATURAL 

CHOICE FOR THE KING TO SUCCEED DAVID.  JOAB WAS THE MAN 

MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR A SON OF DAVID TO BE ON THE THRONE 

BEFORE DAVID'S DEATH TO BE SURE THAT THE SMOOTH TRANSITION 

OF POWER WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN ANY OPPORTUNITY TO THE 

ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.



I Kings 3:1   PG 594

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and 

took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of 

David, until he had made an end of building his own house, 

and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round 

about.

TAKING A FOREIGN WIFE WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ANY ISRAELITE 

AND CERTAINLY IT WAS A BAD EXAMPLE FOR THE KING TO SET FOR 

HIS PEOPLE.



I Kings 3:2  PG 594

Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there 

was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those 

days.

And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of 

David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in 

high places.

BURNING INCENSE IN THE HIGH PLACES MAY NOT HAVE BEEN 

ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP OF JEHOVAH BUT MAY HAVE BEEN A 

CANNANITE PRACTICE.



I Kings 3:5  In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a 

dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

GOD TOLD SOLOMON THAT HE COULD ASK HIM FOR ANYTHING.  WHAT 

WOULD YOU ASK FOR?



I Kings 3:9-10  PG 594 - 595

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge 

thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for 

who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked 

this thing.

SOLOMON ASKED FOR UNDERSTANDING.  WE NEED TO REVIEW SOME 

OF THE TEXT FROM APRIL 16 TO SEE WHY SOLOMON KNEW WHAT TO 

ASK FOR.

I Chronicles 22:7-14  PG 478 - 479

And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my 

mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast 

shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou 

shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast 

shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.  Behold, a son 

shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I 

will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for 

his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and 

quietness unto Israel in his days.  He shall build an 

house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I [will be] 

his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom 

over Israel for ever.  Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; 

and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, 

as he hath said of thee.  Only the LORD give thee wisdom 

and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, 

that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.  Then 

shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the 

statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with 

concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread 

not, nor be dismayed.

VERSE 12 "ONLY THE LORD GIVE THEE WISDOM AND 

UNDERSTANDING... WHEN GOD TOLD SOLOMON HE COULD ASK FOR 

ANYTHING - HIS FATHER DAVID HAD ALREADY TOLD HIM WHAT WAS 

THE MOST PRECIOUS THING TO ASK OF GOD.  WISDOM - GOD'S 

WISDOM.  ONLY GOD CAN GIVE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.  ALL 

THE KNOWLEDGE AND DEGREES IN THE WORLD IS NOT WORTH 

ANYTHING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.  KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD AND WE 

NEED TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE.  BUT WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING IS 

ALWAYS A GIFT FROM GOD AND GIVES VALUE TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE.  

WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING IS KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH THE 

KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ACQUIRE.  EVERYONE IS QUICK TO SAY THAT 

GOD'S LOVE AND PROMISES ARE UNCONDITIONAL.  THIS IS NOT 

TRUE.  MOST OF THEM ARE: IF YOU DO THIS, THEN I'LL DO 

THAT.  THERE ARE REALLY VERY FEW UNCONDITIONAL PROMISES.  

THE ONLY ONE I KNOW WHICH IS UNCONDITIONAL IS James 1:5 If 

any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to 

all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be 

given him.

WISDOM!  WISDOM!  GET WISDOM!  WHERE DO YOU GET IT?  ONLY 

FROM GOD.  NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE YOU ARE IN - ASK GOD FOR 

WISDOM AND HE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.  NOTHING YOU CAN SEEK 

IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.





I Kings 3:11-14  PG 595

And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, 

and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast 

asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine 

enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to 

discern judgment;

Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have 

given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that 

there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee 

shall any arise like unto thee.

And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, 

both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any 

among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and 

my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will 

lengthen thy days.

SOLOMON IS WIDELY REGARDED AS THE WISEST MAN WHO EVER 

LIVED.  BECAUSE OF THE UNSELFISH REQUEST FOR WISDOM AND 

UNDERSTANDING TO PROPERLY RULE GOD'S PEOPLE HE WAS ALSO 

PROBABLY THE WEALTHIEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED.  WE NEED TO BE 

CAREFUL TO NOTE THE "IF YOU - THEN I" NATURE OF THE 

PROMISES OF GOD.  GOD'S DEALS ARE ALWAYS GOOD DEALS FOR 

US.  HE WANTS TO BLESS US BUT THE BLESSINGS ARE GENERALLY 

CONTINGENT ON OUR OBEDIENCE.



I Kings 3:16, 22-28  PG 595

Then came there two women, [that were] harlots, unto the 

king, and stood before him.

22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living [is] my 

son, and the dead [is] thy son. And this said, No; but the 

dead [is] thy son, and the living [is] my son. Thus they 

spake before the king.

Then said the king, The one saith, This [is] my son that 

liveth, and thy son [is] the dead: and the other saith, 

Nay; but thy son [is] the dead, and my son [is] the 

living.

And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a 

sword before the king.

And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and 

give half to the one, and half to the other.

Then spake the woman whose the living child [was] unto the 

king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O 

my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay 

it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, 

[but] divide [it].

Then the king answered and said, Give her the living 

child, and in no wise slay it: she [is] the mother 

thereof.

And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had 

judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the 

wisdom of God [was] in him, to do judgment.

SOLOMON KNEW THAT THE ONE WHO WAS WILLING TO GIVE UP THE 

CHILD THAT IT MIGHT LIVE WAS THE TRUE PARENT.  I HAVE 

REALLY COME TO UNDERSTAND SOME DEEP TRUTH REGARDING 

DIVORCE FROM THESE PASSAGES.  MALACHI 2:16 SAYS THE LORD 

HATES DIVORCE.  THE REASON IS THAT THE CHILDREN BECOME THE 

VICTIMS.  THE PARENTS FIGHT EACH OTHER BY TEARING THE 

HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN.  THE TRUE PARENT WILL ALLOW THE 

OTHER TO HAVE THE CHILDREN.  THE LOVING PARENT WILL ALLOW 

THE OTHER TO HAVE THE CHILDREN SO THAT CHILDREN ARE NOT 

TORN.  HOW IT HURTS.   BUT GOD CAN GIVE GRACE EVEN TO 

COMFORT IN SUCH A SITUATION.  PARENTS IN A DIVORCE 

SITUATION NEED TO DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO SHIELD 

THE CHILDREN FROM THE HURT AND TEARING OF THEIR HEARTS.





MAY 13   1 KINGS 5,6,7  2 CHRON. 2,3,4     PG 596 - 602



II Chronicles 2:5-6  PG 596

And the house which I build [is] great: for great [is] our 

God above all gods.

But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven 

and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then, 

that I should build him an house, save only to burn 

sacrifice before him?

THE TEMPLE WAS THE MOST MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE WHICH MAN 

HAD EVER CONSTRUCTED.  YET SOLOMON'S QUESTIONS ARE VALID.  

WHO IS ABLE TO BUILD GOD A HOUSE?  EVEN THE HEAVENS CANNOT 

CONTAIN HIM.  GOD CANNOT BE PUT INTO ANY OF THE BOXES WE 

MIGHT TRY TO MAKE FOR HIM.  THE NEW TESTAMENT MAKES IT 

CLEAR THAT GOD BUILDS HIS OWN TEMPLE.  NEW JERUSALEM IS 

BEYOND MAN'S CONSTRUCTION CAPABILITIES.  AIRPLANES WILL 

HAVE TO FLY AROUND IT BECAUSE IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FLY 

OVER A 1500 MILE HIGH STRUCTURE.  TODAY OUR BODIES BECOME 

THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  WE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF 

GOD'S TEMPLE.  THEY SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN AND THE WEIGHT 

SHOULD BE KEPT IN CHECK.  CHURCHES SHOULD SPEND THEIR 

RESOURCES ON PEOPLE AND MISSIONS AND NOT ON BUILDINGS.



II Chronicles 2:11-16  PG 596 - 597

Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he 

sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, 

he hath made thee king over them.

Huram said moreover, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, 

that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the 

king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, 

that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for 

his kingdom.

And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with 

understanding, of Huram my father's,

The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father 

[was] a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in 

silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in 

purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also 

to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every 

device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, 

and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the 

wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his 

servants:

And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt 

need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to 

Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.

HURAM, KING OF TYRE WAS A FRIEND OF DAVID.  NOTICE THAT 

DAVID MUST HAVE SHARED HIS FAITH WITH HURAM.  HIS WORDS IN 

VERSE 12 BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL WHO MADE HEAVEN 

AND EARTH.  DAVID SHARED HIS FAITH WITH HIS PEERS.  DO WE?



I Kings 7:51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon 

made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the 

things which David his father had dedicated; [even] the 

silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among 

the treasures of the house of the LORD.

II Chronicles 8:16 Now all the work of Solomon was 

prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of 

the LORD, and until it was finished. [So] the house of the 

LORD was perfected.

THE TEMPLE WAS COMPLETED AND SOLOMON WAS FAITHFUL TO DO 

EVERYTHING THAT DAVID HAD INSTRUCTED HIM TO DO.





MAY 14   1 KINGS 8,   2 CHRON. 5,6,7     PG 602 - 606



II Chronicles 5:6 Also king Solomon, and all the 

congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before 

the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be 

told nor numbered for multitude.

WHEN THEY DEDICATED THE TEMPLE IT WAS QUITE A CELEBRATION.  

THE NUMBER OF SHEEP AND OXEN SACRIFICED COULD NOT BE 

NUMBERED.



II Chronicles 5:10   PG 602

[There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables which 

Moses put [therein] at Horeb, when the LORD made [a 

covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out 

of Egypt.

WASN'T THERE ALSO A JAR OF MANA AND AARON'S ROD THAT 

BUDDED ALSO IN THE ARK WHEN THEY CAME INTO CANAAN?  WHEN 

THE PHILISTINES CAPTURED THE ARK MAYBE THEY TOOK THE JAR 

OF MANA AND AARON'S ROD.



II Chronicles 5:13-14   PG 603

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers [were] 

as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and 

thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up [their] voice 

with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, 

and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his 

mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was 

filled with a cloud, [even] the house of the LORD;

So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason 

of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the 

house of God.

GOD INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE.  THIS IS THE KEY 

TO THE POWER FILLED, VICTORIOUS, CHRISTIAN LIFE.  NOW OUR 

BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  PRAISE GOD AND 

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE GOD'S PRESENCE, JOY, AND PEACE THAT 

PASSES UNDERSTANDING REGARDLESS HOW BAD YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES 

MAY BE.



II Chronicles 6:3-4  PG 603

And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole 

congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel 

stood.

And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who hath 

with his hands fulfilled [that] which he spake with his 

mouth to my father David, saying,

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.  HE EXPECTS US TO KEEP OURS TOO.



II Chronicles 6:14   PG 603

And said, O LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like 

thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest 

covenant, and [shewest] mercy unto thy servants, that walk 

before thee with all their hearts:

THERE IS ONE TRUE GOD.  HE IS A VERY PERSONAL GOD.  HE 

KNOWS OUR EVERY THOUGHT.  HE KNOWS THE NUMBER OF HAIRS WE 

HAVE ON OUR HEAD.  HE KNOWS US BETTER THAN WE KNOW 

OURSELVES.  HIS LOVE AND MERCY ARE BEYOND OUR 

UNDERSTANDING.  DO WE WALK BEFORE THE LORD WITH ALL OUR 

HEART SET TO GIVE HIM GLORY?



II Chronicles 6:18-19  PG 604

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? 

behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain 

thee; how much less this house which I have built!

Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and 

to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the 

cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

YES INDEED GOD WILL DWELL WITH MEN ON EARTH.  HE WILL 

BRING NEW JERUSALEM TO EARTH AND WILL DWELL WITH MEN ON 

EARTH.  NEW JERUSALEM - WHAT A PLACE.  IT IS 1500 MILES 

LONG, 1500 MILES WIDE AND GET THIS 1500 MILES HIGH.  THERE 

IS ROOM FOR EVERYONE.  JESUS SAID IN HIS FATHER'S HOUSE 

THERE ARE MANY APARTMENTS.  WITH 10' CEILINGS IT CONTAINS 

THE ENTIRE DRY LAND SURFACE AREA OF PLANET EARTH.  ONLY 

GOD COULD BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND HE IS BRINGING IT 

TO EARTH.



II Chronicles 6:24-25  PG 604

And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the 

enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall 

return and confess thy name, and pray and make 

supplication before thee in this house;

Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of 

thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land 

which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

IT IS GOD'S PEOPLE HOWEVER SMALL A MINORITY THEY MAY BE 

THAT MAKE ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE.  IF THE CHRISTIANS WILL 

HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND REPENT GOD WILL HEAR AND HEAL OUR 

LAND.  2 CHRONICLES 7:14.



II Chronicles 6:30-31  PG 604

Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and 

forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his 

ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the 

hearts of the children of men:)

That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as 

they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

WE CANNOT HIDE ANYTHING FROM GOD.  WE WILL BE REWARDED FOR 

THOSE THINGS WHICH WE DO TO GLORIFY GOD.  WHAT WE DO FOR 

OURSELVES WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE WITH US.  THAT IS 

WHY THE MOST PROFITABLE WORK IS TO WORK FOR THE GLORY OF 

GOD.



II Chronicles 6:36   PG 605

If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man which 

sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver 

them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away 

captives unto a land far off or near;

SOLOMON WAS WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT EVERYONE SINS EVERY 

DAY.  SOME JUST DON'T SEARCH THEIR CONSCIENCES DEEPLY 

ENOUGH TO SEE IT.  BUT THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL IS THAT 

WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE BOUND TO ANY SIN HABIT AND THAT JESUS 

PAID THE FULL PRICE FOR ALL THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND.



II Chronicles 6:38-39  PG 605

If they return to thee with all their heart and with all 

their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they 

have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, 

which thou gavest unto their fathers, and [toward] the 

city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I 

have built for thy name:

Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling 

place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain 

their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned 

against thee.

GOD WILL ALWAYS HEAR THE PRAYER OF REPENTANCE.  HE WANTS 

TO FORGIVE MORE THAN WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN.  CONFESSION 

IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.  SOUND MENTAL HEALTH IS IMPOSSIBLE 

WITHOUT THE CONFESSION OF SINS.  GOD THROWS THEM IN HIS 

SEA OF FORGETFULNESS AND REMEMBERS THEM NO MORE.  WE NEED 

TO FORGET THEM TOO WHEN WE HAVE CONFESSED THEM TO GOD.  

HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO BE FORGIVEN BY GOD!!!!



I Kings 8:56-58  PG 605

Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest unto his 

people Israel, according to all that he promised: there 

hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he 

promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: 

let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all 

his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, 

and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

NOT ONE WORD OF GOD'S PROMISES WILL EVER FAIL.  REMEMBER 

THAT GOD HAS PROMISED BAD THINGS AS WELL AS GOOD THINGS.  

IT IS BASED ON THE CHOICES WE MAKE.  HE WANTS TO BLESS US 

AND WILL BLESS US IF WE WILL BE OBEDIENT.



I Kings 8:60-61  PG 605 - 606

That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD 

[is] God, [and that there is] none else.

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, 

to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as 

at this day.

HERE IS ARE KEYS TO BEING BLESSED BY GOD.  HE ASKS THAT WE 

AND ISRAEL BE BLESSED SO THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW 

THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD.  GOD WANTS TO BLESS US 

MORE THAN WE WANT TO BE BLESSED.  THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST 

PEOPLE SAY HOW HARD THEY WORKED FOR THEIR BLESSINGS OR HOW 

SMART THEY ARE INSTEAD OF GIVING THE GLORY TO GOD.  THE 

OTHER KEY TO BEING BLESSED BY GOD IS TO BE OBEDIENT AND 

KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.



II Chronicles 7:1-3  PG 606

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came 

down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the 

sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

And the priests could not enter into the house of the 

LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S 

house.

And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came 

down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed 

themselves with their faces to the ground upon the 

pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, [saying], 

For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

SOLOMON CUT A DEAL WITH GOD THAT ISRAEL WOULD BE SO 

GREATLY BLESSED BY GOD THAT ALL THE WORLD WOULD KNOW THAT 

THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS THE ONLY TRUE GOD.  THEY PROMISED TO 

BE OBEDIENT TO GOD'S LAWS.  GOD SEALED HIS AGREEMENT TO 

KEEP HIS END OF THE DEAL BY SENDING FIRE DOWN FORM HEAVEN.  

THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY OF ISRAEL SAW GOD'S GLORY AND POWER.  

THE GLORY OF GOD SO FILLED THE TEMPLE THAT THE PRIESTS 

COULD NOT ENTER THE TEMPLE.







MAY 15   1 KINGS 4,9,10   2 CHRON. 7,8,10   PG 606 - 613



II Chronicles 7:14  PG 607

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble 

themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from 

their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will 

forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

MEMORIZE THIS VERSE.  LET ME SAY IT AGAIN - MEMORIZE AND 

MEDITATE ON THIS VERSE.  ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?  ARE YOU 

CALLED BY HIS NAME?  THEN REGARDLESS HOW SMALL OF A 

MINORITY YOU MAY BE, IF IT IS ONLY YOU - WHAT YOU DO MAKES 

ALL THE DIFFERENCE.  WHAT THE CHRISTIAN DOES MAKES ALL THE 

DIFFERENCE.  WILL WE HUMBLE OURSELVES?  WILL WE TURN FROM 

AWAY FROM OUR SINS?   IF - IF WE WILL, THEN GOD WILL HEAL 

OUR LAND.



II Chronicles 7:15-16  PG 607

Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the 

prayer [that is made] in this place.

For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my 

name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart 

shall be there perpetually.

THIS IS WHY THE JEWS WILL REBUILD THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.  

THIS MAY BE WHY JEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD FACE TOWARD 

JERUSALEM AS THEY HAVE PRAYED DURING THEIR 20OO YEAR 

DISPERSION.  IT IS ANTICHRIST WHO WILL BE DEMANDING 

WORSHIP AS GOD IN THIS REBUILT TEMPLE.  THIS WILL BE THE 

ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION SPOKEN OF BY THE PROPHET DANIEL.



II Chronicles 7:19-22  PG 607

But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my 

commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go 

and serve other gods, and worship them;

Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land 

which I have given them; and this house, which I have 

sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and 

will make it [to be] a proverb and a byword among all 

nations.

And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to 

every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why 

hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this 

house?

And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD 

God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the 

land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped 

them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this 

evil upon them.

SO MUCH IS SAID ABOUT THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD.  IS 

IT UNCONDITIONAL?  WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE.  GOD ONLY ASKS 

THAT WE CONFESS OUR SINS.  BUT WHAT IF WE HIDE OUR SINS?  

IS THE LOVE OF GOD UNCONDITIONAL?  GOD DOESN'T ASK MUCH 

FROM US.  IF WE MAKE A CORRECT RESPONSE TO HIS LOVE TO US 

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST HIS LOVE MAY SEEM UNCONDITIONAL.  BUT 

OBEDIENCE SHOULD BE A NATURAL RESPONSE TO HIS LOVE.  THE 

CONDITIONAL PART OF GOD'S LOVE IS THAT WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE 

HE FIRST LOVED US AND WE LOVE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS 

BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR US.  THE TRUTH IS THAT WHILE NOT 

MUCH IS REQUIRED OR EXPECTED FROM US IT IS NOT 

UNCONDITIONAL.



I Kings 4:30 & 32  PG 609

And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the 

children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

4:32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs 

were a thousand and five.

SOLOMON SPOKE 3,000 PROVERBS.  THE BEATLES, BARRY MANILOW, 

AND ELVIS, COMBINED DID NOT HAVE 1005 SONGS.



I Kings 10:14    PG 609

Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year 

was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

SOLOMON GOT 25 TONS OF GOLD PER YEAR.



I Kings 10:21  And all king Solomon's drinking vessels 

[were of] gold, and all the vessels of the house of the 

forest of Lebanon [were of] pure gold; none [were of] 

silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of 

Solomon.

SOLOMON WAS SO WEALTHY THAT SILVER WAS NOT EVEN COUNTED IT 

WAS A COMMON AS ROCKS IN JERUSALEM.



I Kings 10:23-24  PG 609

So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for 

riches and for wisdom.

And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, 

which God had put in his heart.

WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING COME FROM GOD.  IF YOU WANT 

KNOWLEDGE GO TO SCHOOL.  IF YOU WANT WISDOM GET ON YOUR 

KNEES IN PRAYER AND READ YOUR BIBLE.



I Kings 4:26    PG 610

And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his 

chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

HORSES = 40,000



I Kings 4:22-23  PG 610

And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of 

fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an 

hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, 

and fatted fowl.

SOLOMON'S DAILY BANQUETS REQUIRED 375 BUSHELS OF GRAIN, 10 

PRIME HEAD OF BEEF, 20 CHOICE HEAD OF BEEF, 100 SHEEP, AND 

AN UNSPECIFIED NUMBER OF DEER, AND POULTRY.



I Kings 10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame 

of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to 

prove him with hard questions.

THE QUEEN OF SHEBA PROBABLY FROM YEMEN WHICH WOULD HAVE 

REQUIRED A 1200 MILE CAMEL RIDE THROUGH WILD RUGGED 

DESERT.  SOLOMON'S WISDOM WAS LEGENDARY.  THE QUEEN HAD TO 

MAKE THE TRIP TO SEE IF HIS LEGENDARY WISDOM WAS FOR REAL.  

SHE CAME WITH HARD QUESTIONS.



I Kings 10:3    PG 611

And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not 

[any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

SOLOMON HAD NO DIFFICULTY ANSWERING ANY OF HER HARD 

QUESTIONS.



I Kings 10:6-7, & 9  PG 611

And she said to the king, It was a true report that I 

heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine 

eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the half was not told me: 

thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I 

heard.

Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to 

set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved 

Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do 

judgment and justice.

THE LEGENDS THAT THE QUEEN OF SHEBA HAD HEARD OF SOLOMON'S 

WISDOM ONLY TOLD THE HALF OF HOW GREAT SOLOMON'S WISDOM 

WAS.  SHE QUICKLY REALIZED THAT ONLY GOD COULD GIVE SUCH 

WISDOM TO ANYONE.



Psalms 72:18-19  PG PG 613

Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only 

doeth wondrous things.

And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the 

whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.

MUCH OF SOLOMON'S PSALM 72 SOUNDS LIKE BOASTING UNTIL YOU 

SEE HOW HE WRAPS IT UP.

Proverbs 8:35-36  PG 615

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour 

of the LORD.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all 

they that hate me love death.

PROVERBS 8:12-31 POINT TO HOW JESUS PERSONIFIES WISDOM.  

YOU FIND THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST.  IN 

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, 

and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE - NOT A WAY, NOT 

A TRUTH, BUT THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.  YOU CAN NOT FIND 

ABUNDANT LIFE APART FROM JESUS CHRIST.  EVERYONE KNOWS 

THAT AS SURELY AS THEY ARE BORN THEY WILL JUST AS SURELY 

DIE SOME DAY.  ONLY JESUS HAS THE ANSWER TO THAT PROBLEM.  

JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY TO PAY THE PRICE FOR 

YOU AND ME THAT WE COULD NOT HOPE TO PAY BY OURSELF.  

JESUS DID NOT STAY IN THE GRAVE.  HE IS ALIVE.  BECAUSE HE 

IS ALIVE - WE MAY BE CERTAIN OF OUR FUTURE IN HIM BEYOND 

THE DAY OF OUR DEATH.  IN FINDING JESUS YOU FIND ETERNAL 

ABUNDANT LIFE AND THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE WAY TO GOD.  

REJECTING JESUS WILL DESTROY YOUR SOUL AND BRING THE 

SECOND DEATH OF ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD.



Proverbs 2:6   PG 616

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] 

knowledge and understanding.

WE CAN ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE ON OUR OWN.  WE CAN READ AND 

STUDY AND JUST THE RIGORS OF LIVING WILL GIVE US 

KNOWLEDGE.  WISDOM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWLEDGE.  ALL 

THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD CAN BE WORTHLESS WITHOUT 

WISDOM.  WISDOM IS KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH OR HOW TO USE 

KNOWLEDGE.  GOD GIVES WISDOM.  IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET 

WISDOM APART FROM GOD YOU ARE A FOOL.  WISDOM IS A GIFT 

WHICH GOD WILL GIVE TO ANYONE WHO ASKS HIM FOR IT. James 

1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that 

giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it 

shall be given him.  NO STRINGS ATTACHED - JUST ASK GOD 

AND RECEIVE LIBERALLY.



Proverbs 3:13-17  PG 616-617

Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man 

[that] getteth understanding.

For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise 

of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things 

thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left 

hand riches and honour.

Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths 

[are] peace.

WISDOM IS MORE VALUABLE THAN WEALTH.  WISDOM WILL LEAD TO 

A FULL, PLEASANT, AND PEACEFUL LIFE.



Proverbs 1:28-29   PG 617

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they 

shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear 

of the LORD:

GOD IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF TRUE WISDOM.  IF WE CONTINUE TO 

REJECT GOD THERE WILL FINALLY COME A TIME WHEN YOU WILL BE 

IN TROUBLE AND NOT BE ABLE TO FIND HIM.



Proverbs 9:17-18  PG 618

Stolen waters are sweet, and bread [eaten] in secret is 

pleasant.

But he knoweth not that the dead [are] there; [and that] 

her guests [are] in the depths of hell.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND ADULTERY IN PARTICULAR ARE STUPID.  

IT PROVES A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING.



Proverbs 4:7   PG 618

Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: 

and with all thy getting get understanding.

WISDOM IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.  ONLY GOD CAN GIVE 

TRUE WISDOM.  WISDOM FOUND APART FROM GOD WILL ULTIMATELY 

TAKE YOU DOWN AND OUT.



Proverbs 4:13-14  PG 618

Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her; 

for she [is] thy life.

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the 

way of evil [men].

SEEK WISE COUNCIL AND WISE INSTRUCTION.  THERE IS NONE 

BETTER THAN WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN GIVE YOU AS YOU READ 

THE WORD OF GOD.  IT WILL KEEP YOU FROM ENTERING THE PATHS 

OF EVIL THE END OF WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.



Proverbs 4:23-24   PG 619

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the 

issues of life.

Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put 

far from thee.

GOD KNOWS WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS.  WE CAN HIDE WHAT WE 

THINK FROM PEOPLE.  WE CANNOT HIDE OUR THOUGHTS FROM GOD.  

IF WE WILL BE DILIGENT TO KEEP OUR HEART RIGHT ALL OF OUR 

WORDS AND ACTIONS WILL TEND TO BE RIGHT.  THE MEANING OF 

HEBREW WORD HERE TRANSLATED FROWARD MEANS CROOKED OR 

FALSE.  IN THE DICTIONARY THE WORD FROWARD MEANS 

HABITUALLY DISPOSED TO DISOBEDIENCE.  THE FROWARD MOUTH 

PROBABLY IS BEST THOUGHT OF AS CROOKED OR LYING WORDS.  

THE THOUGHT COMPLETION OF PERVERSE LIPS IS THAT THEY ARE 

TURNED AWAY FROM WHAT IS RIGHT OR GOOD.  IN SHORT - TELL 

THE TRUTH.

Proverbs 22:17-21   PG 619

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and 

apply thine heart unto my knowledge.

For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within 

thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to 

thee this day, even to thee.

Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels 

and knowledge,

That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of 

truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to 

them that send unto thee?

A LOVING FATHER IS POURING HIS HEART OUT TO HIS CHILDREN.  

HE SAYS WORK HARD TO GET KNOWLEDGE.  ABOVE ALL GET WISDOM 

SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO PUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO GOOD 

USE.  IT IS GOD WHO GIVES WISDOM.   OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET 

YOUR WISDOM FORM THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS.  TRUST IN THE 

LORD IS WISDOM.  TRUST PLACED ANYWHERE ELSE WILL LET YOU 

DOWN AND CAN BE VERY FOOLISH INDEED.



Proverbs 9:10   PG 620

The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the 

knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.  CONSIDER 

THE AWESOME POWER REQUIRED TO CREATE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.  

HONEST SCIENTISTS KNOW THAT THE UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING 

BECAUSE OF THE "BIG BANG".  THEY ALSO KNOW THAT THE SECOND 

LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS IS TRUE.  THE UNIVERSE IS WINDING 

DOWN NOT UP.  THESE FACTS POINT TO CREATION NOT EVOLUTION.  

THERE ARE, OF COURSE, MANY OTHER FACTS WHICH MAKE THE 

THEORY OF EVOLUTION PREPOSTEROUS AND ABSURD IN THE LIGHT 

OF HONEST SCIENCE.  THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO 

GOD.  IT IS SIMPLY AN EXCUSE FOR SINFUL BEHAVIOR.



Proverbs 14:2   PG 620

He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but 

[he that is] perverse in his ways despiseth him.

JESUS IS THE TRUTH (JOHN 14:6).  SATAN IS THE FATHER OF 

LIES.  YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS.  WILL YOU HAVE 

INTEGRITY AND LOVE THE TRUTH OR WILL YOU BE A LIAR?



Proverbs 15:33   PG 620

The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom; and 

before honour [is] humility.

THIS IS A GOOD VERSE UPON WHICH TO MEDITATE.



Proverbs 3:5-6  PG 620

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto 

thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy 

paths.

HAVE YOU EVER HEAD "GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES"?  

YOU WILL NOT FIND IT IN THE BIBLE.  THE TRUTH IS THAT WE 

NEED TO TRUST GOD AND NOT OUR OWN STRENGTH, TALENTS, AND 

EFFORTS.  IN ALL OUR WAYS, HE WILL DIRECT US IF WE 

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM.



Proverbs 3:7-8  PG 620

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart 

from evil.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

THERE IS NO END TO THE TROUBLE YOU MAY GET INTO IF YOU ARE 

WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES.  WE ALL NEED FRIENDS WHO WILL TELL 

US THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR SHORTCOMINGS AND BLIND SPOTS.  AN 

HONORABLE LIFE WITHOUT EVIL IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF 

GOOD HEALTH.



Proverbs 16:3   PG 621

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be 

established.

WHILE OUR BURDENS MAY CAUSE US ANXIETY, THEY ARE NOT TOO 

GREAT FOR GOD.  LET GOD HAVE YOUR BURDENS.  HE CAN HANDLE 

THEM BETTER THAN WE CAN.  THIS IS WILL ELIMINATE ANXIETY.



Proverbs 18:2  PG 621

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his 

heart may discover itself.

THE FOOL HAS NO DELIGHT IN WISDOM OR UNDERSTANDING.  

SATAN'S LIE IS STILL THE SAME - "YE SHALL BE AS GOD."  

SINCE THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF 

UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM THE FOOL SIMPLY HAS BOUGHT THE 

LIE AND FACTORED GOD OUT OF THE EQUATIONS OF HIS LIFE.  SO 

MUCH OF TODAYS MODERN EDUCATION IS DESIGNED TO MAKE ONE A 

FOOL.  MUCH OF MODERN EDUCATION CENTERS ON DISCOVERING 

ONE'S SELF.  DISCOVERING GOD AND DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP 

WITH HIM IS THE WISEST OF PURSUITS.



Proverbs 18:10  PG 621

The name of the LORD [is] a strong tower: the righteous 

runneth into it, and is safe.

THE NAME OF THE LORD IS JESUS!  WHAT A STRONG TOWER WE 

HAVE IN BEING ABLE TO USE THE NAME OF JESUS.  THE WORLD 

DOES NOT UNDERSTAND SUCH GREAT POWER AND AUTHORITY.

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee 

should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, 

and [things] under the earth;

Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] 

all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God 

and the Father by him.

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto 

God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

I Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the 

power of our Lord Jesus Christ,





Proverbs 26:12   PG 621

Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? [there is] more 

hope of a fool than of him.

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO IS WISE IN HIS OWN EYES?  PRAY FOR 

HIM BECAUSE THERE IS MORE HOPE FOR A FOOL THAN FOR HIM.



Proverbs 29:25   PG 621

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his 

trust in the LORD shall be safe.

NO ONE IS WORTHY OF YOUR FEAR OR TRUST BUT THE LORD JESUS 

CHRIST.  EVERYONE ELSE WILL LET YOU DOWN AND DISAPPOINT 

YOU BUT JESUS IS WORTHY.  ETERNAL SECURITY IS FOUND ONLY 

IN HIM.



Proverbs 26:8   PG 622

As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so [is] he that 

giveth honour to a fool.

IF YOU TIE A STONE IN A SLING YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF.  DO 

NOT GIVE HONOR TO A FOOL.  IT IS AS STUPID AS TYING A 

STONE IN A SLING.  IT WILL HURT YOU.



Proverbs 10:14   PG 623

Wise [men] lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish 

[is] near destruction.

IT IS MUCH BETTER TO SIT AND APPEAR IGNORANT THAN TO OPEN 

YOUR MOUTH AND PROVE IT.  THINK BEFORE SPEAKING.  WE LEARN 

BY LISTENING NOT BY SPEAKING.

Psalms 127:1   PG 661

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that 

build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman 

waketh [but] in vain.

GOD IS THE SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT.  IT IS 

GOD WHO GIVES THE INCREASE AND MAKES THE HOUSE, THE CITY, 

OR THE NATION SAFE AND STRONG.  MANS EFFORTS JUST END IN 

VANITY UNLESS GOD IS A FACTOR IN ALL THE EQUATIONS OF

Psalms 127:3-4  PG 661

Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the

As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man; so [are] 

children of the youth.

CHILDREN BELONG TO GOD AND ARE ON LOAN TO THE PARENTS NOT 

THE STATE.  THE MOST EXTREME FORM OF TYRANNY IS WHEN THE 

STATE TAKES CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS.  THE BLESSINGS OF 

CHILDREN ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST REWARDS OR GIFTS THAT GOD

                     SONG OF SOLOMON



MANY HAVE FOUND BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORIES IN THIS SONG OF LOVE.  

PERSONALLY IT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT BOOK IN THE BIBLE.  

THIS PERHAPS POINTS TO A PERSONAL LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF 

LOVE, AT LEAST UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.  PLEASE SHARE ANY 

INSIGHTS THAT GO BEYOND THE FOLLOWING SIMPLE SUMMARY.



SOLOMON WITH ALL OF HIS WISDOM, WEALTH, AND FLATTERY COULD 

NOT PERSUADE THE SHULAMITE GIRL TO COMPROMISE HER VIRTUOUS 

LOVE FOR HER BELOVED.  WE SEE IN THE EXAMPLE OF THE 

SHULAMITE THAT NOT ALL YOUNG WOMEN CAN BE WON BY FLATTERY, 

AND/OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN RICHES AND GLORY.  SOME 

WOMEN INDEED DO VALUE THEIR VIRTUE MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF.  

SOME WOMEN DO LOVE TRULY FROM THE HEART AND HAVE TOTAL 

DEDICATION TO THE HAPPINESS OF THEIR LIFE COMPANION AND 

HIS CHILDREN.  SOME WOMEN DO MAINTAIN A NATURAL AND 

UNSPOILED DISPOSITION REGARDLESS OF THEIR BEAUTY AND 

CHARM.  SOME WOMEN WILL NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR 

NATURAL BEAUTY TO FURTHER A SINFUL PURSUIT.  SOME WOMEN 

LIVE PURE AND UPRIGHT IN THE FACE OF GREAT TEMPTATIONS AND

I Kings 11:1-3  PG 672

But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with 

the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, 

Edomites, Zidonians, [and] Hittites;

Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the 

children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither 

shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn 

away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these 

in love.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three 

hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

SOLOMON'S WISDOM AND WEALTH WAS LEGENDARY.  SOLOMON WAS 

NOT ONLY A MAN OF WISDOM BUT A MAN OF FOLLY.  HE HAD 700 

WIVES AND 300 CONCUBINES.  THOUGH IT WAS EXPRESSLY 

FORBIDDEN TO TAKE FOREIGN WIVES HE MUST HOLD THE RECORD 

FOR DISOBEDIENCE AND FOLLY IN THIS REGARD.  SOME HAVE SAID 

THAT MORE OF SOLOMON'S WRITINGS MAY BE FOUND IN THE OCCULT 

LITERATURE THAN IN THE BIBLE.  IT IS NOT AT ALL CERTAIN 

THAT WE WILL SEE SOLOMON IN HEAVEN.



I Kings 11:4-6  PG 672-673

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his 

wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his 

heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the 

heart of David his father.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the 

Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the 

Ammonites.

And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went 

not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father.

HOW DO YOU THINK SOLOMON ENDED UP?  JESUS SAID IN - Mark 

8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the 

whole world, and lose his own soul?  COULD HE HAVE HAD 

SOLOMON IN MIND?   HOW WELL WOULD SOLOMON FIT THIS PICTURE 

OF HAVING GAINED THE WHOLE WORLD.



I Kings 11:9-13  PG 673

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was 

turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared 

unto him twice,

And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he 

should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which 

the LORD commanded.

Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is 

done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my 

statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend 

the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy 

father's sake: [but] I will rend it out of the hand of thy 

son.

Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; [but] will 

give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and 

for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

THE LORD BECAME ANGRY WITH SOLOMON AND TOLD HIM THAT THE 

LORD WOULD TAKE THE KINGDOM FROM HIS SON AND GIVE IT TO 

ONE OF HIS SERVANTS AFTER SOLOMON DIED.  FOR THE SAKE OF 

DAVID AND JERUSALEM ONE TRIBE WOULD REMAIN UNDER SOLOMON'S 

SON.

vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.

which he taketh under the sun?



CYCLICAL NATURE OF LIFE

Ecclesiastes 1:9 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

Ecclesiastes 1:10 Is there [any] thing whereof it may be

MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING

Ecclesiastes 6:11  Seeing there be many things that 

increase vanity, what [is] man the better?



MORTALITY OF ANIMALS AND MAN

Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men 

befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the 

one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one 

breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: 

for all [is] vanity.



Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the 

dust, and all turn to dust again.



Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth 

upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to

MORTALITY OF FOOLISH AND WISE

Ecclesiastes 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, 

as far as light excelleth darkness.

Ecclesiastes 2:14 The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; 

but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived

Ecclesiastes 2:16 For [there is] no remembrance of the 

wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now

MORTLITY OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND WICKED

Ecclesiastes 9:1 For all this I considered in my heart

knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before

Ecclesiastes 9:3 This [is] an evil among all [things] that

Ecclesiastes 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my

EMPTINESS OF LABOR

Ecclesiastes 2:24   [There is] nothing better for a man,

thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for

Ecclesiastes 5:12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, 

whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the 

rich will not suffer him to sleep.



Ecclesiastes 5:15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, 

naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take

Ecclesiastes 8:14 There is a vanity which is done upon the 

earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth 

according to the work of the wicked; again, there be 

wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work

remembered that same poor man.



Ecclesiastes 9:16 Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than 

strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] 

despised, and his words are not heard.



Ecclesiastes 9:17 The words of wise [men are] heard in 

quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.



Ecclesiastes 9:18 Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war: 

but one sinner destroyeth much good.

            MEMORY AND MEDITATION VERSES



VARIOUS PROVERBS

Ecclesiastes 7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: 

for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.



Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money 

[is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] 

wisdom giveth life to them that have it.



Ecclesiastes 7:20 For [there is] not a just man upon 

earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.



Ecclesiastes 7:21 Also take no heed unto all words that 

are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:



Ecclesiastes 7:22 For oftentimes also thine own heart 

knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.



Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man's heart [is] at his right 

hand; but a fool's heart at his left.



Ecclesiastes 10:12 The words of a wise man's mouth [are] 

gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.



Ecclesiastes 10:13 The beginning of the words of his mouth 

[is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous 

madness.



Ecclesiastes 10:17 Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy 

king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due 

season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!



Ecclesiastes 10:18  By much slothfulness the building 

decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house 

droppeth through.



Ecclesiastes 10:20  Curse not the king, no not in thy 

thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a 

bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath 

wings shall tell the matter.



WISDOM COMES FROM SORROW

Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name [is] better than precious 

ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's 

birth.



Ecclesiastes 7:2   [It is] better to go to the house of 

mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that 

[is] the end of all men; and the living will lay [it] to 

his heart.



Ecclesiastes 7:5 [It is] better to hear the rebuke of the 

wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.



DANGER OF EXTREMISM

Ecclesiastes 7:16 Be not righteous over much; neither make 

thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?



Ecclesiastes 7:18 [It is] good that thou shouldest take 

hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: 

for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.



FEW CHOOSE WISDOM

Ecclesiastes 7:27 Behold, this have I found, saith the 

preacher, [counting] one by one, to find out the account:



Ecclesiastes 7:28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find 

not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman 

among all those have I not found.



Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God 

hath made man upright; but they have sought out many 

inventions.

PURPOSE AND BALANCE IN LIFE

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a

Ecclesiastes 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a 

time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] 

planted;



Ecclesiastes 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a 

time to break down, and a time to build up;



Ecclesiastes 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a 

time to mourn, and a time to dance;



Ecclesiastes 3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to

refrain from embracing;



Ecclesiastes 3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time 

to keep, and a time to cast away;



Ecclesiastes 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time

Ecclesiastes 3:10 I have seen the travail, which God hath 

given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the 

beginning to the end.



Ecclesiastes 3:12 I know that [there is] no good in them, 

but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.



Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it

taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear 

before him.



ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE

Ecclesiastes 11:9  Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and 

let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and 

walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine 

eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things] God will 

bring thee into judgment.



Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of 

thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years 

draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in 

them;



WHERE LIFE FINDS ITS MEANING

Ecclesiastes 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the 

whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for 

this [is] the whole [duty] of man.



Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God shall bring every work into 

judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, 

or whether [it be] evil.













































JUN 1   1 KINGS 12,13  2 CHRON. 10,11      PG 690 - 694



I Kings 12:3-4  PG 690

That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the 

congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, 

saying,

Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou 

the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke 

which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL DID NOT WANT TO REBEL THEY JUST 

WANTED RELIEF FROM THE HEAVY TAX BURDENS WHICH SOLOMON HAD 

IMPOSED ON THEM.  APPARENTLY IN THE FOLLY OF HIS MANY 

FOREIGN WIVES SOLOMON HAD BECOME A TYRANNICAL TAXER.  GOD 

HAD BEEN ANGERED BY SOLOMON'S DISOBEDIENCE AND TOLD 

SOLOMON THAT THE KINGDOM EXCEPT FOR ONE TRIBE WOULD BE 

TAKEN FROM HIS SON.



I Kings 12:8   PG 691

But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had 

given him, and consulted with the young men that were 

grown up with him, [and] which stood before him:

REHOBOAM COULD HAVE MAINTAINED THE KINGDOM IF HE HAD 

LISTENED TO THE WISE ADVICE OF THE OLDER MEN INSTEAD OF 

THE FOOLISH ADVICE OF THE YOUNG MEN.



I Kings 12:11   PG 691

And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, 

I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with 

whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

REHOBOAM'S ARROGANT RESPONSE TO THE REASONABLE REQUEST OF 

HIS PEOPLE GUARANTEED A REBELLION.  THE ARROGANT CONGRESS 

OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF THIS.  TO PASS 

THE CLINTON TAX INCREASE WHEN AS MANY AS 80% OF THE 

CONSTITUENTS CALLED IN OPPOSITION TO THE TAX INCREASE 

SOUNDS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE RESPONSE OF REHOBOAM TO THE 

PEOPLE.



I Kings 12:18-19  PG 691

Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the 

tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he 

died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to 

his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this 

day.

REHOBOAM SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A BUNCH OF ROCK CONTROL LAWS 

BEFORE SENDING OUT HIS TAX COLLECTORS.



I Kings 12:24   PG 691-692

Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against 

your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to 

his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened 

therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, 

according to the word of the LORD.

THE MAN OF GOD PREVENTED CIVIL WAR IN ISRAEL.  WILL THE 

GOD FEARING PEOPLE OF AMERICA SEND MESSAGES TO THE 

CONGRESS THAT THEY WILL FINALLY UNDERSTAND.  VOTE THEM 

OUT.  KEEP VOTING THEM OUT.  DON'T ALLOW ANY OF THEM TO BE 

CORRUPTED BY A SECOND TERM.



I Kings 12:28-29    PG 692

Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves [of] 

gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up 

to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought 

thee up out of the land of Egypt.

And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in 

Dan.

SOLOMON HAD REALLY SENT THE NATION OF ISRAEL IN A TAILSPIN 

BY HIS FOLLY AND THE BAD EXAMPLE OF HIS MANY FOREIGN WIVES 

AND THE IDOLATRY WHICH THEY BROUGHT.  GOLDEN CALF WORSHIP 

BECOMES THE RELIGION OF ISRAEL.  DON'T LAUGH TOO HARD.  

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL 

EXTREMISM WORSHIPING MOTHER EARTH AND THE NEW AGE 

OCCULTISM?  THIS STUFF IS NOT NEW IT IS JUST A REVIVAL OF 

THE SAME AGE OLD OCCULTISM.  WHEN ANY NATION REJECTS THE 

TRUE GOD THE FALSE gODS ARE QUICK TO FILL THE VOID.



II Chronicles 11:16-17  PG 692

And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set 

their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to 

Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their 

fathers.

So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made 

Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three 

years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

SOME PEOPLE DID NOT GO ALONG WITH THE FALSE RELIGION AND 

LEFT ISRAEL FOR JUDAH.  AMERICA USED TO BE A GOD FEARING 

NATION.  LOOK AT YOUR MONEY.  IT SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST", 

IS THAT STILL TRUE OR AN OUTDATED SAYING SLATED FOR THE 

CLINTON POLITICS OF CHANGE?  WHEN AMERICA IS CHANGED AND 

COMPLETELY SOCIALIZED WHERE CAN PEOPLE SEEKING THE FREEDOM 

TO TRUST IN THE TRUE GOD GO?



I Kings 13:4-5  PG 693

And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying 

of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in 

Beth-el, that he put forth his hand from the altar, 

saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth 

against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in 

again to him.

The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the 

altar, according to the sign which the man of God had 

given by the word of the LORD.

WE NEED SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE 

ANTICHRIST POLITICAL LEADERS TODAY.  THE MAN OF GOD SURE 

DID GET JEREBOAM'S ATTENTION.



I Kings 13:8-9  PG 693

And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give 

will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, 

Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same 

way that thou camest.

THIS MAN OF GOD COULD NO MORE BE BOUGHT THAN COULD HE BE 

INTIMIDATED.  WHO HAS SUCH PRICELESS HOLY BOLDNESS TODAY?







JUN 2   1 KINGS 14,  2 CHRON. 11,12,13 PG 694 - 698



I Kings 13:33-34  PG 694

After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, 

but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the 

high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he 

became [one] of the priests of the high places.

And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even 

to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of 

the earth.

JEROBOAM SET UP IDOL WORSHIP AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY THAT 

GOES WITH IDOL WORSHIP IN ISRAEL.  ANYBODY WHO WANTED TO 

BE A PRIEST COULD PAY JEROBOAM THE FEE AND BE A PRIEST.  

THE LEVITES HAD FLED TO JUDAH.  THEREFORE ISRAEL 

ESSENTIALLY HAD NO PRIESTS OF THE TRUE GOD.



I Kings 14:7-10   PG 694

Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, 

Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and 

made thee prince over my people Israel,

And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and 

gave it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant 

David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with 

all his heart, to do [that] only [which was] right in mine 

eyes;

But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for 

thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten 

images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind 

thy back:

Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of 

Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth 

against the wall, [and] him that is shut up and left in 

Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of 

Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

GOD'S PROPHET TELLS THE TRUTH AND MOST OF THE TIME IT IS 

NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.  BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS 

GOING TO BE JUST AS GOD'S PROPHET SAYS.



I Kings 14:12 & 17  PG 694 -695

Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: [and] 

when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

:17  And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to 

Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, 

the child died;

THIS IS TYPICAL OF HOW ACCURATELY GOD'S PROPHETS PREDICT 

FUTURE EVENTS.  EVERY BIBLE PROPHESY THAT HAS COME TO PASS 

TO DATE HAS COME TO PASS WITH ABSOLUTE 100% ACCURACY.  

THERE ARE 2000 OLD TESTAMENT PROPHESIES THAT HAVE BEEN 

FULFILLED WITH THE SAME 100% ACCURACY AS WE SEE HERE.  NO 

OTHER RELIGION IN THE WORLD GIVES PREDICTIVE PROPHECIES.  

ONLY ORTHODOX JUDAISM AND ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY GIVE 

PREDICTIVE PROPHECY.  TYPICAL JEAN DIXON TYPE PROPHETS 

HAVE BATTING AVERAGES AS LOW AS O FOR 61.  COMPARE THE 

2000 FOR 2000 CORRECT BIBLE PROPHECIES WITH ANY OTHER 

PREDICTIONS.  FULFILLED PROPHECY BRINGS ONE TO CONCLUDE 

THE BIBLE IS TRUE.  IT ALSO BRINGS ONE TO CONCLUDE THAT 

THOSE PROPHECIES WHICH HAVE NOT YET BEEN FULFILLED WILL 

CERTAINLY BE FULFILLED.



I Kings 14:22-26  PG 695 -696

And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they 

provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had 

committed, above all that their fathers had done.

For they also built them high places, and images, and 

groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

And there were also sodomites in the land: [and] they did 

according to all the abominations of the nations which the 

LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, 

[that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, 

and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away 

all: and he took away all the shields of gold which 

Solomon had made.

IDOLATRY AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY GO HAND IN HAND.  THERE IS 

NO END TO SEXUAL IMMORALITY.  IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE 

UNTIL IT RESULTS IN THE PERVERSION OF SODOMY AND 

HOMOSEXUALITY.  WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO 

EVERY NATION IN HISTORY WHICH HAS TOLERATED AND GIVEN 

PREEMINENCE TO HOMOSEXUALITY - THE NATION IS CONQUERED.  

GOD HAS NEVER TOLERATED ANY NATION WHICH ALLOWED 

HOMOSEXUALITY TO BE PRACTICED OPENLY.  THE NEW AGE 

ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOT NEW AT ALL.  THE NEW POLITICAL 

CORRECTNESS IS NOT NEW AT ALL.  IT IS THE SAME OLD 

ULTIMATE DEPRAVITY WHICH HAS ALWAYS BROUGHT SWIFT JUDGMENT 

TO THE LAND WHICH HAS PRACTICED AND CONDONED AND ELEVATED 

SODOMITES.



II Chronicles 13:3-5  PG 697

And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant 

men of war, [even] four hundred thousand chosen men: 

Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with 

eight hundred thousand chosen men, [being] mighty men of 

valour.

And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which [is] in 

mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all 

Israel;

Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the 

kingdom over Israel to David for ever, [even] to him and 

to his sons by a covenant of salt?

ABIJAH IS GIVING JEROBOAM AND ISRAEL A CHANCE TO SURRENDER 

WHEN HE IS OUTNUMBERED 2 TO 1.  IT SOUNDED CRAZY TO ISRAEL 

BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE CHANCE TO SURRENDER.  GOD 

WAS ON THE SIDE OF ABIJAH AND 2 TO 1 ODDS ARE NO ODDS AT 

ALL WHEN GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE.



II Chronicles 13:12-18  PG 697

And, behold, God himself [is] with us for [our] captain, 

and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm 

against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against 

the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.

But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind 

them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment [was] 

behind them.

And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle [was] 

before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the 

priests sounded with the trumpets.

Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of 

Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam 

and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God 

delivered them into their hand.

And Abijah and his people slew them with a great 

slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred 

thousand chosen men.

Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that 

time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they 

relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.

HERE YOU SEE IT.  NOT ONLY ARE THEY OUTNUMBERED 2 TO 1 BUT 

THEY ARE SURROUNDED.  IT SEEMS HOPELESS - THEY CRIED TO 

THE LORD - AND THE LORD GAVE THEM THE VICTORY.  WHEN IT 

SEEMS HOPELESS - DON'T FORGET TO CRY OUT TO THE LORD.







JUN 3   1 KINGS 15,16  2 CHRON. 14,15,16 PG 698 - 704



II Chronicles 14:2-5  PG 698

And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes of 

the LORD his God:

For he took away the altars of the strange [gods], and the 

high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the 

groves:

And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, 

and to do the law and the commandment.

Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high 

places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before 

him.

ASA WAS A GOOD KING FOR JUDAH AND DID WHAT WAS RIGHT.

ISRAEL HAD BAD KINGS THAT LED THEM IN SIN, DEGRADATION, 

AND SLAVERY.



I Kings 15:29   PG 699

And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all 

the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that 

breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the 

saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah 

the Shilonite:

HERE IS ANOTHER TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE 100% ACCURACY WITH 

WHICH 2000 OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECIES HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.



II Chronicles 14:11-12   PG 699

And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, [it 

is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with 

them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we 

rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this 

multitude. O LORD, thou [art] our God; let not man prevail 

against thee.

So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before 

Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IS ASK GOD FOR HELP.  WHEN YOU HAVE 

BEEN FAITHFUL AND OBEDIENT AS ASA, GOD IS DELIGHTED TO 

HELP YOU AND GIVE YOU VICTORY.



II Chronicles 15:1-2  PG 700

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye 

me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with 

you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be 

found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

JOB 1 OF GOD'S PROPHETS IS TO PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS MUCH 

MORE THAN TO PREDICT THE FUTURE.  NOTICE THAT THE 

BLESSINGS OF GOD ARE CONDITIONAL.  OBEDIENCE IS BETTER 

THAN SACRIFICE.



II Chronicles 15:4   PG 700

But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God 

of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

WHEN YOU SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART YOU WILL FIND GOD.



II Chronicles 15:7   PG 700

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: 

for your work shall be rewarded.

WORK IS A BLESSING.  EVEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WE ARE 

ADMONISHED TO WORK.  "IF HE WILL NOT WORK - LET HIM NOT 

EAT."  BE STRONG!  BE COURAGEOUS!  PRAY HARD!  WORK HARD!



II Chronicles 15:12-13  PG 700

And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of 

their fathers with all their heart and with all their 

soul;

That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel 

should be put to death, whether small or great, whether 

man or woman.

JUDAH WAS SERIOUS ABOUT SEEKING GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEART.



II Chronicles 15:17   PG 700

But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: 

nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

AS SERIOUS AS THEY WERE THE DAMNABLE HIGH PLACES (SEXUAL 

IMMORALITY) WERE NOT TORN DOWN.



II Chronicles 16:7   PG 701

And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of 

Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the 

king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, 

therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of 

thine hand.

JUST LIKE ASA THIS IS MY DOWNFALL.  RUNNING AHEAD OF GOD.  

GOD PERMITS A LOT.  WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL TO SEEK GOD'S 

PERFECT WILL.  GOD'S PERFECT WILL FOR ASA WAS THAT HE 

WOULD HAVE MADE SYRIA SUBJECT TO ASA INSTEAD OF SYRIA 

BEING AN UNRELIABLE ALLY WHICH SOME DAY WILL TAKE ALL 

JUDAH AND ISRAEL CAPTIVE.  HERE IS WHERE THE COUNCIL OF 

FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN FRIENDS COULD SAVE MUCH UNNECESSARY 

TROUBLE IN OUR LIFE.  WILL YOU TRUST YOUR OWN STRENGTH OR 

WILL YOU TRUST GOD?



II Chronicles 16:9   PG 701

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the 

whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of 

[them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him. Herein thou 

hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt 

have wars.

THIS IS A VERSE TO MEMORIZE.  THINK ABOUT IT.



II Chronicles 16:10   PG 701

Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison 

house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this 

[thing]. And Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same 

time.

THIS IS USUALLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU TRY TO 

POINT OUT THE ERROR IN SOMEONE'S WAY.  EVEN GODLY KING ASA 

PUT THE PROPHET IN PRISON.  WISE PEOPLE WILL SEEK THE 

CONVICTING WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND CONCENTRATE ON 

GETTING THEIR OWN LIFE CENTERED IN GOD'S PERFECT WILL.  

WISE PEOPLE WILL NOT CORRECT OTHERS UNLESS THEY ASK FOR 

COUNSEL.  WISDOM REQUIRES THAT WE ARE BOLD TO WIN SOULS 

FOR CHRIST AND PRAY FOR THE CONVICTING WORK OF THE HOLY 

SPIRIT IN OUR OWN LIFE AND IN THOSE WE LOVE.



I Kings 16:12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of 

Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake 

against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,

FULFILLED BIBLE PROPHESY TO DATE IS 2000 FOR 2000 RIGHT 

WITH 100% ACCURACY.  WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THE 

PROPHESIES NOT YET FULFILLED WILL BE FULFILLED WITH THE 

SAME ACCURACY.  NO GENERATION HAS EVER HAD GREATER 

INCENTIVE TO STUDY BIBLE PROPHESY THAN OUR GENERATION.



I Kings 16:30-31  PG 703

And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD 

above all that [were] before him.

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for 

him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that 

he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of 

the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped 

him.

And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, 

which he had built in Samaria.

And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the 

LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel 

that were before him.

AHAB IS THE WORST OF ISRAEL'S BAD KINGS.  WHAT MADE HIM SO 

BAD IS HOW HE WAS DIRECTED BY JEZEBEL.



II Chronicles 17:3-6  PG 703-704

And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in 

the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto 

Baalim;

But sought to the [LORD] God of his father, and walked in 

his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and 

all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had 

riches and honour in abundance.

And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: 

moreover he took away the high places and groves out of 

Judah.

JEHOSHAPHAT WAS A VERY GOOD KING.  WHY?  THINK ABOUT IT.





II Chronicles 17:9-10

And they taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the law of 

the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the 

cities of Judah, and taught the people.

And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the 

lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no 

war against Jehoshaphat.

HERE IS THE KEY TO HEALING OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES, OUR 

CHURCHES, OUR CITIES, AND OUR NATION.







JUN 4   1 KINGS 17,18, 19                PG 704 - 709



I Kings 17:1-7  PG 705

And Elijah the Tishbite, [who was] of the inhabitants of 

Gilead, said unto Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel 

liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor 

rain these years, but according to my word.

And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself 

by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.

And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and 

I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: 

for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] 

before Jordan.

And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, 

and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the 

brook.

And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried 

up, because there had been no rain in the land.

ELIJAH WAS A MIGHTY PROPHET OF GOD.  NO RAIN WOULD FALL IN 

THE WHOLE LAND UNTIL ELIJAH WOULD CALL FOR RAIN AT GOD'S 

DIRECTION.  ELIJAH WILL BE ONE OF THE PROPHETS WHICH WILL 

WITHSTAND ANTICHRIST DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION.  THE RAVENS, AN UNCLEAN BIRD, BROUGHT FOOD TO 

ELIJAH IN THE WILDERNESS.  THIS WAS A HARD TEST FOR 

ELIJAH.  RAVENS EAT CARRION.  YUK!



I Kings 17:14-16  PG 705

For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal 

shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, 

until the day [that] the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: 

and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.

[And] the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse 

of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he 

spake by Elijah.

HERE IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO REMEMBER.  GOD WILL TAKE CARE 

OF HIS PEOPLE AND GOD WILL MULTIPLY FOOD SO THAT HIS 

PEOPLE WILL NOT STARVE.  WE NEED TO REMEMBER THIS IF WE 

WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUY OR SELL UNLESS WE ACCEPT A MARK 

ON OUR FOREHEAD OR RIGHT WRIST.



I Kings 17:22-24  PG 706

And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of 

the child came into him again, and he revived.

And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the 

chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: 

and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou 

[art] a man of God, [and] that the word of the LORD in thy 

mouth [is] truth.

IN ANSWER TO ELIJAH'S PRAYER GOD BROUGHT THE WIDOW'S SON 

BACK TO LIFE.  ELIJAH'S FAITH DID NOT BRING HIM BACK TO 

LIFE.  GOD WORKED THE MIRACLE IN RESPONSE TO ELIJAH'S 

PRAYER AND FAITH.  THERE IS NO POWER IN FAITH.  ALL POWER 

IS IN GOD.  HAVE FAITH IN GOD.  DON'T EVER BUY THE HERESY 

OF HAVING FAITH IN YOUR FAITH.  FAITH IN YOUR FAITH IS NOT 

THE SAME AS FAITH IN GOD.  FAITH IN YOUR FAITH IS FAITH 

ASTRAY.



I Kings 18:17-18  PG 707

And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said 

unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth Israel?

And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and 

thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the 

commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.

AHAB BLAMES ELIJAH FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS IN ISRAEL BECAUSE 

IT HAD NOT RAINED FOR 3 YEARS AND ISRAEL WAS REALLY 

HURTING.  IT MAY HAPPEN THAT THE WORLD WILL SOON FACE 

GREAT FAMINE AND ECONOMIC CHAOS AND JEWS AND CHRISTIANS 

WILL LIKELY BE THE TARGETS OF BLAME FOR THE PROBLEMS OF 

THE WORLD.  ELIJAH LETS AHAB KNOW THAT JUDGMENT OF ANY 

NATION IS A RESULT OF THAT NATION REJECTING GOD.  GOD'S 

PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.  IF THE CHRISTIANS WILL HUMBLE 

THEMSELVES AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, GOD WILL HEAL 

THEIR LAND.  2 CHRON. 7:14



I Kings 18:21-22  PG 707

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long 

halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD [be] God, follow 

him: but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the people 

answered him not a word.

THE DOUBLE MINDED MAN IS UNSTABLE IN ALL HIS WAYS.  IF 

JESUS IS NOT LORD OF ALL HE IS NOT LORD AT ALL.  THE 

PEOPLE WOULD NOT ANSWER.  HOW WILL I ANSWER?  IS JESUS IN 

TOTAL CONTROL OF MY LIFE?



I Kings 18:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I 

will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that 

answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people 

answered and said, It is well spoken.

IT WAS WELL SPOKEN THEN.  TODAY HOWEVER WE NEED TO BE 

CAREFUL OF SEEKING AFTER ANY SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS.  

JESUS WARNED US THAT IN THE END TIMES, WHEN SATAN IS CAST 

OUT OF HEAVEN FOR THE 7 YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION, THERE 

WILL BE MANY PRETENDED SIGNS AND WONDERS.  WE NEED TO GET 

TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD.  THE WORD OF GOD MUST MEAN MORE 

TO US THAN ALL THE MIRACLES IN THE WORLD.  A TRUE MIRACLE 

WILL ALWAYS GLORIFY THE TRUE GOD.  STEER CLEAR OF ANY 

SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS WHICH DO NOT GLORIFY JESUS.



I Kings 18:33-38  PG 707-708

And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in 

pieces, and laid [him] on the wood, and said, Fill four 

barrels with water, and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice, 

and on the wood.

And he said, Do [it] the second time. And they did [it] 

the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time. And 

they did [it] the third time.

And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the 

trench also with water.

And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the 

[evening] sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, 

and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let 

it be known this day that thou [art] God in Israel, and 

[that] I [am] thy servant, and [that] I have done all 

these things at thy word.

Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that 

thou [art] the LORD God, and [that] thou hast turned their 

heart back again.

Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt 

sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and 

licked up the water that [was] in the trench.

ELIJAH WATCHED THE 450 PROPHETS DANCE, SHOUT, CUT 

THEMSELVES AND EXHAUST THEMSELVES ALL DAY CRYING FOR FIRE 

FROM BAAL.  THEN HE SETS THE ALTER, THE WOOD AND THE 

OFFERING AND DOUSES THE WHOLE THING WITH WATER 3 TIMES 

UNTIL THE WHOLE THING IS IN AL LARGE POOL OF WATER.  THEN 

HE ASKS GOD TO LET THE PEOPLE KNOW WHO GOD IS BY SENDING 

FIRE.  GOD ANSWERS IMMEDIATELY AND THE FIRE OF GOD, NOT 

THE FIRE OF ELIJAH, (THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE FIRE OF 

ELIJAH), CONSUMES EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE POOL OF WATER.



I Kings 18:39-40   PG 708

And when all the people saw [it], they fell on their 

faces: and they said, The LORD, he [is] the God; the LORD, 

he [is] the God.

And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let 

not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah 

brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them 

there.

GOD SHOWED THE PEOPLE WHO THE TRUE GOD IS.  ELIJAH 

IMMEDIATELY HAD THE 450 PROPHETS OF BAAL EXECUTED.



I Kings 19:1-2  PG 708

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal 

how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let 

the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life 

as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.

WE SEE CLEARLY HERE WHO RULED THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL.  YOU 

MAY NOT LIKE THIS AND I'LL LIKELY GET SHOUTED DOWN FOR 

THIS BUT WOMEN RULING OVER MEN IS GENERALLY CONTRARY TO 

THE WORD OF GOD.  SOMETIMES HOWEVER THE MEN ARE SO GUTLESS 

THAT THE WOMEN HAVE TO TAKE THE LEAD SUCH AS JAEL AND 

DEBORAH IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES.



I Kings 19:4  But he himself went a day's journey into the 

wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: 

and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, 

It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] 

not better than my fathers.

WHY IS ELIJAH SO FRIGHTENED OF JEZEBEL?  WHY AFTER SUCH 

TREMENDOUS DEMONSTRATIONS OF GOD'S POWER IS HE HAVING A 

PITY PARTY UNDER THE JUNIPER TREE PRAYING TO DIE?



I Kings 19:11-13  PG 709

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the 

LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and 

strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the 

rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the 

wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD 

[was] not in the earthquake:

And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not 

in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it] that he wrapped 

his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the 

entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice 

unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

THERE IS A FANTASTIC MESSAGE HERE.  EVEN GREAT MIGHTY MEN 

OF GOD CAN BE OVERWHELMED BY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND 

PERSECUTION.  WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT ELIJAH DID NOT HAVE 

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN HIM.  OBVIOUSLY THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS 

WITH HIM BUT WE KNOW HE WAS NOT IN ELIJAH.  WHEN 

CIRCUMSTANCES OVERWHELM YOU, WHEN YOU GROW WEARY IN WELL 

DOING, WHEN GOD SEEMS DISTANT - GET ALONE AND GET QUIET.  

GOD WAS NOT IN THE STRONG WIND, OR THE EARTHQUAKE, OR THE 

FIRE.  GOD WAS IN THE STILL SMALL VOICE.  GOD'S QUESTION - 

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?  HAVE YOU HEARD GOD ASK YOU WHAT 

ARE YOU DOING HERE LATELY?  IS IT TIME TO GET QUIET?







JUN 5   1 KINGS 20, 21, 22               PG 709 - 715



I Kings 20:13-14  PG 710

And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of 

Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all 

this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine 

hand this day; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, 

[Even] by the young men of the princes of the provinces. 

Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, 

Thou.

GOD IS TRYING TO REACH AHAB AND BRING HIM TO REPENTANCE.  

GOD'S KINDNESS IS MEANT TO CALL US TO REPENTANCE.  GOD 

GIVES AHAB A MIRACULOUS VICTORY OVER SYRIA.



I Kings 20:28  PG 711 

And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of 

Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians 

have said, The LORD [is] God of the hills, but he [is] not 

God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this 

great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I 

[am] the LORD.

AHAB DID NOT REPENT.  GOD GIVES THE SECOND VICTORY OVER 

SYRIA TO AHAB TO SHOW GOD'S POWER AND GLORY TO THE SYRIANS 

AND ANSWER THE INSULT OF GOD BY THE SYRIANS WHEN THEY SAID 

THE GOD OF ISRAEL WAS A GOD OF THE HILLS AND DID NOT 

RECOGNIZE THE GOD OF ISRAEL AS THE ONLY TRUE GOD OF ALL.



I Kings 21:7  PG 712

And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern 

the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let 

thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of 

Naboth the Jezreelite.

JEZEBEL DOES HER THING TO GET NABOTH'S VINEYARD FOR AHAB.  

SHE HAS NABOTH KILLED.



I Kings 21:18-19  PG 713

Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in 

Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, 

whither he is gone down to possess it.

And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the 

LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And 

thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In 

the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs 

lick thy blood, even thine.

GOD SENDS ELIJAH TO PRONOUNCE JUDGMENT ON AHAB FOR HAVING 

NABOTH KILLED TO TAKE HIS VINEYARD.



I Kings 21:23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, 

The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

JEZEBEL WILL GET HER REWARD TOO.  AGAIN WE WILL SEE HOW 

ACCURATELY BIBLE PROPHESY IS FULFILLED WITH 100% ACCURACY.



I Kings 22:7-8   PG 714

And Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the 

LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There is] 

yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may 

inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not 

prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat 

said, Let not the king say so.

MOST TRUE PROPHETS USUALLY END UP BEING HATED AND 

THROUGHOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT WE SEE THEM BEING IMPRISONED 

AND KILLED BY THE KINGS WHO SOUGHT THE WORD OF THE LORD 

FROM THEM.



I Kings 22:19-23  PG 714-715

And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I 

saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of 

heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go 

up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, 

and another said on that manner.

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, 

and said, I will persuade him.

And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will 

go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all 

his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and 

prevail also: go forth, and do so.

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in 

the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath 

spoken evil concerning thee.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?  HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A PREACHER 

TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR INSTEAD OF THE TRUTH?  IN 

THE LAST DAYS SUCH PREACHERS THAT TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT 

TO HEAR INSTEAD OF THE TRUTH WILL FAR OUTNUMBER THE 

PREACHERS WHO WILL FAITHFULLY PREACH THE TRUTH.  IT IS 

POSSIBLE THAT PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE MAY BE SOME OF THAT 

TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR TEACHING.



I Kings 22:26-28  PG 715

And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him 

back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the 

king's son;

And say, Thus saith the king, Put this [fellow] in the 

prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with 

water of affliction, until I come in peace.

And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD 

hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, 

every one of you.

TYPICAL TREATMENT FOR THE TRUE PROPHET OF GOD.







JUN 6   2 CHRON. 19,20  2 KINGS 1,       PG 715 - 719



I Kings 22:38    PG 715

And [one] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and 

the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; 

according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.

DETAILED PROPHESY FULFILLMENT.



II Chronicles 19:2-3   PG 715

And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, 

and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the 

ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore [is] 

wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that 

thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast 

prepared thine heart to seek God.

AHAB WAS EVIL.  GOOD KING JEHOSHAPHAT HAD TO KNOW AHAB WAS 

TOTALLY CONTROLLED BY JEZEBEL.  WHY WOULD JEHOSHAPHAT MAKE 

AN ALLIANCE WITH HIM?



II Chronicles 20:2   PG 716

Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There 

cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea 

on this side Syria; and, behold, they [be] in 

Hazazon-tamar, which [is] En-gedi.

AS SOON AS JEHOSHAPHAT HEARS OF THE SERIOUS THREAT OF 

INVASION HE IMMEDIATELY DOES THE RIGHT THING.  HE 

ANNOUNCES A FAST FOR ALL JUDAH.  HE ASSEMBLES THE ENTIRE 

NATION OF JUDAH FOR A NATIONAL PRAYER MEETING.  DO YOU 

HAVE ANY GUESS WHAT BILL CLINTON WOULD DO IN A SIMILAR 

THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCE?



II Chronicles 20:5-12  PG 716

And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and 

Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

And said, O LORD God of our fathers, [art] not thou God in 

heaven? and rulest [not] thou over all the kingdoms of the 

heathen? and in thine hand [is there not] power and might, 

so that none is able to withstand thee?

[Art] not thou our God, [who] didst drive out the 

inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and 

gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary 

therein for thy name, saying,

If, [when] evil cometh upon us, [as] the sword, judgment, 

or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and 

in thy presence, (for thy name [is] in this house,) and 

cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and 

help.

And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount 

Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they 

came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, 

and destroyed them not;

Behold, [I say, how] they reward us, to come to cast us 

out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to 

inherit.

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might 

against this great company that cometh against us; neither 

know we what to do: but our eyes [are] upon thee.

THE PRAYER MEETING HAD BEEN PRECEDED BY FASTING.  

EVERYBODY WAS THERE AND JEHOSAPHAT LED THE PRAYER MEETING.  

HE KNEW GOD.  HE KNEW GOD RULES OVER ALL AND THAT NOTHING 

IS PERMITTED WHICH GOD DOES NOT ALLOW.  HE REMINDS GOD OF 

GOD'S GLORIOUS ACTS OF DELIVERANCE FOR THE DECEDENTS OF 

ABRAHAM.  HE REMINDS GOD OF HIS PROMISES TO HIS FRIEND 

ABRAHAM AND THAT HE KNOWS THAT HE IS A DESCENDENT OF GOD'S 

FRIEND ABRAHAM TO WHOM THE PROMISES THEREFORE APPLY.  HE 

REMINDS GOD OF HIS PROMISE TO ISRAEL WHEN SOLOMON 

DEDICATED THE TEMPLE.  HE TELLS GOD THAT FROM WHAT HE 

KNOWS OF GOD'S PROMISES THAT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT IS 

GOD'S WILL THAT THEY BE CONQUERED BY AMMON AND MOAB.  HE 

ASKS GOD TO DELIVER THEM AND CONFESSES THEIR WEAKNESS AND 

INABILITY TO BE SAVED WITHOUT GOD'S HELP.  HE SAYS THAT 

ALL OF THEIR HOPE AND TRUST IS IN GOD.



THE BOTTOM LINE IS HE KNEW GOD AND HE KNEW THE WORD OF 

GOD.  FROM THE WORD AND PROMISES OF GOD HE HAD DISCERNED 

GOD'S WILL.  GOD HONORS FAITH - YET FAITH IS AN ALMOST 

AUTOMATIC THING WHEN YOU HAVE RIGHTLY DIVIDED THE WORD TO 

DISCERN GOD'S WILL ON ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD TAKE TO HIM 

IN PRAYER.



II Chronicles 20:14-17  PG 717

Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of 

Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite 

of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the 

midst of the congregation;

And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of 

Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD 

unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this 

great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.

Ye shall not [need] to fight in this [battle]: set 

yourselves, stand ye [still], and see the salvation of the 

LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be 

dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD 

[will be] with you.

THE SPIRIT OF GOD GAVE AN IMMEDIATE ANSWER TO THE PRAYER.

GOD WOULD DELIVER JUDAH AND THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO 

ANYTHING BUT WATCH GOD DELIVER THEM.



II Chronicles 20:19  PG 717

And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of 

the children of the Koran, stood up to praise the LORD God 

of Israel with a loud voice on high.

THEY HAD THE ANSWER - NOW IT WAS TIME FOR PRAISING GOD.

NOTE AFTER THEY PRAYED AND BEFORE THE MIRACLE HAD BEEN 

SEEN THEY WERE IN PRAISE.  THIS IS THE WAY TO DEMONSTRATE 

YOUR FAITH.



II Chronicles 20:23  PG 718

For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the 

inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy 

[them]: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants 

of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

THE ATTACKING ARMIES OF THE AMMONITES AND MOABITES KILLED 

EACH OTHER.  THIS IS TYPICAL OF HOW GOD CAN WIN BATTLES 

FOR YOU.  YOUR ENEMIES USE THEIR WEAPONS ON THEMSELVES.  

THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE WAY GOD WILL DESTROY 

5/6'S OF ALL OF RUSSIA'S ARMY WHEN THEY INVADE ISRAEL.



II Chronicles 20:29   PG 718

And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of [those] 

countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought 

against the enemies of Israel.

THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL ARE ENEMIES OF GOD.  THE FRIENDS OF 

ISRAEL ARE BLESSED BY GOD.  GOD IS AGAINST YOU IF YOU ARE 

AGAINST ISRAEL.



II Chronicles 20:32-33  PG 718

And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed 

not from it, doing [that which was] right in the sight of 

the LORD.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet 

the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of 

their fathers.

JEHOSAPHAT WAS A GOOD KING BUT STILL THE HIGH PLACES WHERE 

SEXUAL IMMORALITY WAS PRACTICED WERE NOT TORN DOWN.



II Kings 1:10-17  PG 719

And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I 

[be] a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, 

and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire 

from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with 

his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of 

God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I [be] a man of 

God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and 

thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and 

consumed him and his fifty.

And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his 

fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came 

and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and 

said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and 

the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy 

sight.

Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the 

two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: 

therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.

And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with 

him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down 

with him unto the king.

So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah 

had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second 

year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; 

because he had no son.

ELIJAH WAS A MIGHTY MAN OF GOD.  I ONCE HAD A MAN OF GOD 

CALL THE FIRE OF ELIJAH DOWN ON ME.  I HAD NO DOUBT THAT 

HE WAS A MIGHTY MAN OF GOD.  LET ME TELL YOU THIS COULD BE 

VERY INTIMIDATING.  I WAS NOT INTIMIDATED AND HE MARVELED 

AT MY BOLDNESS.  I HAVE BEEN IN ERNEST PRAYER FOR THE MAN 

EVER SINCE BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ELIJAH FIRE HAS 

ANY PLACE WITHIN THE BODY OF CHRIST EVEN WHEN BROTHERS AND 

SISTERS DISAGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?



2 Kings 3:1-3   PG 719

Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in 

Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 

and reigned twelve years.

And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like 

his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image 

of Baal that his father had made.

Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son 

of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not 

therefrom.







JUN 7   2 KINGS 2, 4, 6, 8             PG 720 - 724



II Kings 2:8   PG 720

And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and 

smote the waters, and they were divided hither and 

thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

PRETTY NEAT MIRACLE.  SURE BEATS BUILDING A BRIDGE.  

REMEMBER THIS IT COULD COME IN HANDY SOME DAY.



II Kings 2:9    PG 720

And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah 

said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I 

be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let 

a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

ELISHA ASKED FOR A DOUBLE PORTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER  

OF GOD.  DO YOU REALIZE THAT TODAY JESUS BAPTIZES 

BELIEVERS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT SO THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS 

NOT JUST WITH SOMEONE LIKE ELIJAH AND ELISHA BUT ACTUALLY 

IN THEM.  BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS JUST THAT - THE HOLY 

SPIRIT.  POWER BEYOND COMPREHENSION - YET TWO THINGS ARE 

REQUIRED OF THE BORN AGAIN BELIEVER.  FIRST HOLINESS - IF 

THERE IS UNCONFESSED SIN IN YOUR LIFE YOU MUST TAKE IT TO 

THE CROSS.  SECOND YIELDEDNESS - THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A 

PERFECT GENTLEMAN.  HE WILL NEVER FORCE YOU TO DO ANYTHING 

THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO.  ALL BELIEVERS MUST GET THIS 

STRAIGHT BECAUSE IF THE RAPTURE OCCURS AT THE END OF THE 

TRIBULATION THAN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE THE 

ONLY MEANS OF SURVIVAL AND OVERCOMING.



II Kings 2:10   PG 720

And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], 

if thou see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so 

unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].

ELIJAH MAKES IT CLEAR TO ELISHA THAT THE POWER IS NOT HIS 

BUT GOD'S.  WE MUST BE CAREFUL TO ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE 

HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS THAT THE EXCELLENCY 

OF THE POWER MAY BE OF GOD AND NOT OF US.



II Kings 2:11   PG 720

And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, 

that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and 

horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah 

went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

ELIJAH WAS TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN BY GOD.  HE AND ENOCH ARE 

THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO LEFT THE EARTH WITHOUT DYING.  

BECAUSE OF THIS IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT ENOCH AND ELIJAH 

WILL BE THE TWO GREAT MEN OF GOD WHO WILL RESIST 

ANTICHRIST WITH TREMENDOUS POWER DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE 

TRIBULATION.



II Kings 2:19-22  PG 721

And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray 

thee, the situation of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord 

seeth: but the water [is] nought, and the ground barren.

And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. 

And they brought [it] to him.

And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast 

the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have 

healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any 

more death or barren [land].

So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the 

saying of Elisha which he spake.



II Kings 2:23-24  PG 721

And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was 

going up by the way, there came forth little children out 

of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, 

thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in 

the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears 

out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

THIS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND - OTHER THAN TOUCH NOT GOD'S 

ANOINTED.  IT COULD BE VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS TO RIDICULE 

OR BAD MOUTH AN ANOINTED MAN OF GOD.



II Kings 4:2-7  PG 721

And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell 

me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine 

handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of 

oil.

Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy 

neighbours, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.

And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon 

thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those 

vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon 

her sons, who brought [the vessels] to her; and she poured 

out.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she 

said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto 

her, [There is] not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, 

sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy 

children of the rest.

GOD MULTIPLIED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NO EXCESS.  IF WE CAN 

NOT BUY OR SELL WE CAN BE SURE THAT AS WE REMAIN FAITHFUL 

THAT GOD WILL MULTIPLY THE SMALL AMOUNTS OF RESOURCES WE 

HAVE TO EXACTLY MEET OUR NEEDS DAY BY DAY.



II Kings 4:32   PG 723

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child 

was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, 

and prayed unto the LORD.

ELISHA DID NOT RAISE THE BOY FROM THE DEAD.  GOD RAISED 

THE BOY FROM THE DEAD IN ANSWER TO ELISHA'S PRAYER.



II Kings 4:40-41  PG 722

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to 

pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried 

out, and said, O [thou] man of God, [there is] death in 

the pot. And they could not eat [thereof].

But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the 

pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may 

eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

THE STEW HAD BEEN COOKED WITH POISON GOURDS.  AS SOON AS 

THE MEN HAD EATEN JUST A SMALL AMOUNT THEY KNEW THEY WERE 

GOING TO BE SICK OR POSSIBLY EVEN DIE.  ELISHA SAID THROW 

IN SOME MEAL AND THE STEW THEN WAS NOT ONLY NOT POISON BUT 

HEALED THEM FROM THE POISON WHICH THEY HAD ALREADY 

INGESTED.  THE MESSAGE IS DON'T EVER FAIL TO ASK GOD TO 

BLESS YOUR FOOD.  ONCE THE FOOD HAD BEEN BLESSED IT HAD NO 

POWER TO POISON THE MEN.  Mark 16:18 They shall take up 

serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not 

hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they 

shall recover.



II Kings 6:4-7  PG 724

So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they 

cut down wood.

But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the 

water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was 

borrowed.

And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him 

the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in 

thither; and the iron did swim.

Therefore said he, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out 

his hand, and took it.

THE IRON AXE HEAD WHICH WAS BORROWED, LOST IN THE WATER, 

AND QUITE VALUABLE, WAS MADE TO FLOAT.  IT IS A MIRACLE TO 

MAKE SOLID IRON FLOAT.  DID ELISHA MAKE THE AXE HEAD 

FLOAT?  NO - GOD DID IT.  THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A BROKEN 

RECORD BUT WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET - II Corinthians 4:7 But 

we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the 

excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.









JUN 8   2 KINGS 3,  2 CHRON. 21          PG 724 - 726



II Kings 8:16  PG 724

And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of 

Israel, Jehoshaphat [being] then king of Judah, Jehoram 

the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

JEHOSAPHAT WAS A GOOD KING BUT HIS SON DID NOT FOLLOW IN 

THE WAY OF THE LORD.  HIS SON JEHORAM REJECTED GOD.



II Kings 8:18   PG 726

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did 

the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: 

and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

JEHORAM MARRIED THE DAUGHTER OF AHAB.  HE LED JUDAH TO 

BACKSLIDE AWAY FROM GOD.



II Chronicles 21:4    PG 724

Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his 

father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren 

with the sword, and [divers] also of the princes of 

Israel.

JEHORAM KILLED ALL OF HIS BROTHERS AND MANY OTHERS.



II Kings 3:14-18   PG 725

And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before 

whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the 

presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not 

look toward thee, nor see thee.

But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the 

minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of 

ditches.

For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither 

shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with 

water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and 

your beasts.

And this is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD: 

he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

ELISHA HAD RESPECT FOR JEHOSHAPHAT.  HE PROPHESIED THEIR 

VICTORY AND THE MIRACLE THAT THE LORD WOULD DO TO GIVE 

THEM THE VICTORY OVER MOAB.



II Chronicles 21:12-15  PG 726

And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, 

saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, 

Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat 

thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and 

hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a 

whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and 

also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, [which 

were] better than thyself:

Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy 

people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy 

goods:

And thou [shalt have] great sickness by disease of thy 

bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the 

sickness day by day.

THIS IS A MYSTERIOUS LETTER OF PROPHESY FROM ELIJAH WHICH 

WAS DELIVERED AFTER HE HAD BEEN TAKEN UP FROM THE EARTH BY 

GOD.  BECAUSE JEHORAM HAD LED THE NATION AWAY FROM GOD, 

AND KILLED HIS BROTHERS, HE DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH.  GOD 

STRUCK HIS PEOPLE, HIS FAMILY, AND JEHORAM HIMSELF DIED OF 

A BOWEL DISEASE THAT HAD TO BE AS HORRIBLE AS ANY DEATH 

ONE COULD IMAGINE.









JUN 9   OBEDIAH                           PG 727 - 729



Obadiah 1:1   PG 727

The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning 

Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an 

ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us 

rise up against her in battle.

OBADIAH, SERVANT OF GOD, PROPHESIES AGAINST EDOM.



Obadiah 1:3-4   PG 727

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that 

dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] 

high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to 

the ground?

Though thou exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou 

set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee 

down, saith the LORD.

PRIDE IS SOMETHING WHICH WE ALL STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME.  

SOME HAVE BEEN RAISED TO BELIEVE THAT PRIDE IS VIRTUE. 

PRIDE IS A SIN.  WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN FREE WILL AND SELF 

CONSCIOUSNESS AND THEREFORE WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO BE 

PROUD.  PRIDE IN SATAN STARTED ALL EVIL.  IF WE WILL 

HUMBLE OURSELVES GOD WILL LIFT US UP.  IF WE WILL NOT 

HUMBLE OURSELVES THAN GOD WILL HUMBLE US.









JUN 10  2 KINGS 5, 6, 7,                PG 729 - 734



II Kings 6:9-12  PG 729

And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, 

Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the 

Syrians are come down.

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of 

God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, 

not once nor twice.

Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled 

for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto 

them, Will ye not shew me which of us [is] for the king of 

Israel?

And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but 

Elisha, the prophet that [is] in Israel, telleth the king 

of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

ARAM IS SYRIA.  ELISHA WAS GIVING THE KING OF ISRAEL ALL 

OF THE MILITARY MANEUVER PLANS OF THE KING OF SYRIA.  THE 

KING OF SYRIA THOUGHT HE HAD A SPY AMONG HIS HIGHEST 

GENERALS.  HIS PEOPLE TOLD HIM THAT ELISHA WAS 

RESPONSIBLE.  HE FIGURED THAT HE SHOULD SEND PART OF HIS 

ARMY JUST TO WIPE OUT ELISHA.



II Kings 6:15-23  PG 730

And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, 

and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both 

with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, 

Alas, my master! how shall we do?

And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us 

[are] more than they that [be] with them.

And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his 

eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the 

young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] 

full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the 

LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with 

blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to 

the word of Elisha.

And Elisha said unto them, This [is] not the way, neither 

[is] this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the 

man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.

And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, 

that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these [men], that 

they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they 

saw; and, behold, [they were] in the midst of Samaria.

And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, 

My father, shall I smite [them]? shall I smite [them]?

And he answered, Thou shalt not smite [them]: wouldest 

thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy 

sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, 

that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

And he prepared great provision for them: and when they 

had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to 

their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the 

land of Israel.

THE KING OF SYRIA SENT AN ARMY TO COMPLETELY SURROUND THE 

CITY WHERE ELISHA WAS STAYING.  WHEN ELISHA'S SERVANT WOKE 

UP AND LOOKED IN THE MORNING, HE THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER.  

HE WENT TO ELISHA AND EXPRESSED HIS FEAR AND SAID WHAT ARE 

WE GOING TO DO NOW?  ELISHA SAID DON'T WORRY, AND ASKED 

GOD TO OPEN HIS SERVANTS EYES THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE 

ALL OF THE ANGELS WHICH GOD HAD SENT TO PROTECT ELISHA.  

ELISHA THEN ASKED GOD TO STRIKE THE SYRIAN ARMY WITH 

BLINDNESS.  HE THEN LED THEM INTO THE HANDS OF THE KING OF 

ISRAEL.  THE KING SAYS, WOW - CAN I KILL THEM?  ELISHA 

LETS HIM KNOW THAT THEY WERE ELISHA'S PRISONERS AND NOT 

THE KING'S.  ELISHA TELLS THE KING TO PREPARE A FEAST FOR 

THEM AND LET THEM GO.  THIS IS GOD'S WISDOM AND WOULD BE 

FOOLISH MILITARY STRATEGY - BUT AS A RESULT ISRAEL WAS NO 

LONGER ATTACKED BY SYRIA.



II Kings 5:1  PG 730-731

Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was 

a great man with his master, and honourable, because by 

him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also 

a mighty man in valour, [but he was] a leper.

SYRIA'S COMMANDER OF THE ARMY WAS GIVEN MILITARY SUCCESS 

BY GOD AND HE HAD LEPROSY.  HE WAS TOLD TO GO TO ELISHA 

THAT HE COULD BE HEALED.



II Kings 5:8-16    PG 731

And it was [so], when Elisha the man of God had heard that 

the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to 

the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? 

let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a 

prophet in Israel.

So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and 

stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash 

in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to 

thee, and thou shalt be clean.

But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I 

thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and 

call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand 

over the place, and recover the leper.

[Are] not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better 

than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and 

be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, 

My father, [if] the prophet had bid thee [do some] great 

thing, wouldest thou not have done [it]? how much rather 

then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in 

Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his 

flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, 

and he was clean.

And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, 

and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I 

know that [there is] no God in all the earth, but in 

Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy 

servant.

But he said, [As] the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I 

will receive none. And he urged him to take [it]; but he 

refused.

THIS IS FASCINATING.  ELISHA WOULD NOT COME OUT TO MEET 

THE GREAT SYRIAN COMMANDER.  LOOK WHAT PRIDE CAN DO.  HERE 

HE IS GOING TO ELISHA TO ASK HIM TO HEAL HIS LEPROSY AND 

BECAUSE HE WAS NOT GREETED BY ELISHA PERSONALLY HE GOES 

OFF IN A HUFF SAYING THAT THE RIVERS BACK HOME WERE BETTER 

THAN THE JORDAN WHICH ELISHA TOLD HIM TO DIP IN 7 TIMES 

FOR HEALING.  FORTUNATELY HE HAS WISE LOVING SERVANTS WHO 

WAIT TILL HE COOLS DOWN AND TELL HIM IT IS WORTH A TRY TO 

BE CURED.  HE DIPS IN THE JORDAN AND IS HEALED.  HE THEN 

RECOGNIZES THE GOD OF ELISHA AS THE ONLY TRUE GOD AND 

TRIES TO GIVE A REWARD TO ELISHA WHICH ELISHA REFUSES.



II Kings 5:20-23  PG 732

But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, 

Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not 

receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, [as] 

the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat 

of him.

So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw [him] 

running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to 

meet him, and said, [Is] all well?

And he said, All [is] well. My master hath sent me, 

saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount 

Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give 

them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of 

garments.

And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he 

urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, 

with two changes of garments, and laid [them] upon two of 

his servants; and they bare [them] before him.

ELISHA'S SERVANT GEHAZI RUNS AFTER NAAMAN TO TRY TO GET 

SOME OF THE REWARD THAT ELISHA REFUSED.  NAAMAN GLADLY 

GIVES HIM MORE THAN HE ASKED FOR.



II Kings 5:25-27  PG 732

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha 

said unto him, Whence [comest thou], Gehazi? And he said, 

Thy servant went no whither.

And he said unto him, Went not mine heart [with thee], 

when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? 

[Is it] a time to receive money, and to receive garments, 

and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and 

menservants, and maidservants?

The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, 

and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his 

presence a leper [as white] as snow.

WHEN GEHAZI RETURNS ELISHA LETS HIM KNOW THAT HE CANNOT 

HIDE HIS SIN AND BECAUSE OF IT HE GETS THE LEPERACY.



II Kings 7:3-7  PG 733

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the 

gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until 

we die?

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine 

[is] in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit 

still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us 

fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, 

we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of 

the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part 

of the camp of Syria, behold, [there was] no man there.

For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a 

noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, [even] the noise 

of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the 

king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the 

Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left 

their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the 

camp as it [was], and fled for their life.

ISRAEL WAS DONE FOR.  THEY WOULD EITHER SURRENDER OR 

STARVE TO DEATH.  GOD RESCUED THEM.  GOD MADE THE SYRIAN 

ARMY THINK THEY WERE BEING ATTACKED.  THEY FLED THEIR 

SIEGE CAMP AND LEFT EVERYTHING.



II Kings 7:16-20  PG 734

And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the 

Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was [sold] for a 

shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according 

to the word of the LORD.

And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to 

have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him 

in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who 

spake when the king came down to him.

And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the 

king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a 

measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow 

about this time in the gate of Samaria:

And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, 

behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might 

such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it 

with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him 

in the gate, and he died.

HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE 2000 VERY DETAILED AND 

EXACTLY FULFILLED BIBLE PROPHECIES.  IF THE FULFILLED 

BIBLE PROPHESY RECORD IS 2000 FOR 2000 RIGHT, ONLY A FOOL 

WOULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FEW REMAINING UNFULFILLED BIBLE 

PROPHECIES WILL NOT BE FULFILLED.  ONLY FOOLS WILL NOT 

BELIEVE THE BIBLE IF THEY WOULD EVER DILIGENTLY STUDY IT.  

THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.  IN LESS THAN 

100 YEARS THAT FOOL WILL KNOW FOR ALL ETERNITY WHAT A 

GREAT FOOL HE HAS BEEN NOT TO BELIEVE EVERY WORD OF THE 

BIBLE.







JUN 11  2 KINGS 8, 9, 10                PG 734 - 738



II Kings 8:7-13  PG 743 -735

And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of 

Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of 

God is come hither.

And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine 

hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD 

by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, 

even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' 

burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son 

Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, 

Shall I recover of this disease?

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest 

certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he 

shall surely die.

And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was 

ashamed: and the man of God wept.

And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, 

Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the 

children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on 

fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, 

and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with 

child.

And Hazael said, But what, [is] thy servant a dog, that he 

should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD 

hath shewed me that thou [shalt be] king over Syria.

GOD REVEALED EVERYTHING WHICH WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO 

ELISHA.  THE SYRIANS SOONER OR LATER SHOULD HAVE FIGURED 

OUT THAT ELISHA'S GOD WAS THE ONLY TRUE GOD.  JUST THINK 

ABOUT ELISHA'S PROPHECIES AND MIRACLES DONE TO THE SYRIAN 

KINGS AND NOBLES.  ACCORDING TO AMOS GOD DOES NOT DO 

ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT HE FIRST REVEAL IT TO HIS SERVANTS 

THE PROPHETS.  Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do 

nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the 

prophets.



II Kings 9:1-3  PG 735

And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the 

prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take 

this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead:

And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son 

of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him 

arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an 

inner chamber;

Then take the box of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and 

say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over 

Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

JEHU IS ANOINTED KING OF JUDAH.  HE WILL CLEAN OUT BOTH 

THE EVIL HOUSES OF THE KINGS OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL.



II Kings 9:7   PG 736

And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I 

may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the 

blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of 

Jezebel.

EVERY DETAIL OF THE HORRIBLE PROPHECIES THAT ELISHA HAD 

DELIVERED REGARDING THE HOUSE OF AHAB & JEZEBEL, AND 

JEHORAM WAS EXECUTED BY THE HAND OF JEHU.  JEHU PERSONALLY 

KILLED KING JORAM AND AHAZIAH AND ORDERED THE EXECUTION OF 

JEZEBEL, THE 70 SONS OF AHAB, AND THE 42 SONS OF AHAZIAH.  

YES IT WAS BLOODY.  THE DOGS ATE THE CARCASS OF JEZEBEL 

BEFORE IT COULD BE BURIED.









JUN 12  2 KINGS 11 & 2 CHRON 22 & 23        PG 739- 741



II Chronicles 22:10-12  PG 739

But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son 

was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of 

the house of Judah.

But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the 

son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons 

that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a 

bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, 

the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister 

of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him 

not.

And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: 

and Athaliah reigned over the land.

WOW - WHAT A NICE FAMILY.  WHEN SHE HEARD THAT HER SON 

KING AHAZIAH HAD BEEN KILLED BY JEHU, ATHALIAH PROCEEDED 

TO MURDER EVEN HER OWN CHILDREN TO TAKE THE THRONE OF 

JUDAH FOR HERSELF.  WOULDN'T JEZEBEL INDEED HAVE BEEN 

PROUD OF HER DAUGHTER ATHALIAH.  BUT ONE NEWBORN BABY BOY 

THAT ATHALIAH PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT WAS KEPT HIDDEN 

FROM HER BY JEHOIADA THE PRIEST.  NO WAY COULD ATHALIAH OR 

ANYONE ELSE KEEP ANY OF GOD'S PROPHECIES FROM BEING 

FULFILLED.



II Chronicles 23:3   PG 740

And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in 

the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the 

king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons 

of David.

WHEN JOASH WAS 7 YEARS OLD, JEHOIADA THE PRIEST LET THE 

PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY HAD A KING AND PREPARED TO OVERTHROW 

ATHALIAH.



II Chronicles 23:16-17  PG 741

And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all 

the people, and between the king, that they should be the 

LORD'S people.

Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake 

it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, 

and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

JUDAH IS BROUGHT BACK TO GOD BECAUSE OF THE FAITHFULNESS 

OF JEHOIADA.  HE TAUGHT JOASH WELL.  HE LED JUDAH TO 

FOLLOW THE LORD AND TO DESTROY THE TEMPLE OF BAAL.



II Chronicles 24:1-2  PG 741

Joash [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he 

reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also 

[was] Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of the 

LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

JOASH WAS A GOOD KING DOING WHAT WAS RIGHT IN GOD'S EYES.



II Kings 10:18-20   PG 739

And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto 

them, Ahab served Baal a little; [but] Jehu shall serve 

him much.

Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all 

his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: 

for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever 

shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did [it] in 

subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the 

worshippers of Baal.

And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And 

they proclaimed [it].

JEHU WAS BEING USED TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT IN ISRAEL AND HE 

PRETENDS TO BE A BAAL WORSHIPER TO EXECUTE THE PRIESTS AND 

WORSHIPERS OF BAAL.



II Kings 10:30-31  PG 740

And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well 

in executing [that which is] right in mine eyes, [and] 

hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that 

[was] in mine heart, thy children of the fourth 

[generation] shall sit on the throne of Israel.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God 

of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the 

sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

JEHU EXECUTED GOD'S JUDGMENT ON THE HOUSE OF JEZEBEL AND 

AHAB AND BROUGHT AN END TO BAAL WORSHIP IN ISRAEL.  NOW IT 

WOULD SEEM THE KINGDOMS OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL COULD HAVE AND 

SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BACK TOGETHER.  BUT JEHU WANTED 

TO BE KING.  HE DID NOT WANT TO ABDICATE HIS THRONE TO 

JOASH.  SO HE MAINTAINED THE CALF WORSHIP THAT JEROBOAM 

HAD ESTABLISHED IN ISRAEL WHEN THEY SPLIT FROM SOLOMON'S 

SON.









JUN 13  JOEL                                PG 741- 748



Joel 1:3   PG 742

Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children 

[tell] their children, and their children another 

generation.

MANY TIMES IN THE SCRIPTURES FATHERS ARE COMMANDED TO TELL 

THEIR CHILDREN ALL OF WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE AND 

EVERYTHING THE LORD HAS SAID.  ACCORDING TO GOD'S COMMANDS 

WE FATHERS ARE TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH TO OUR CHILDREN.  

THE MANY TEACHERS OF THE END TIMES WILL TICKLE THE EARS OF 

THEIR CONGREGATIONS WITH ALL GOD'S PROMISES OF BLESSINGS.  

THERE WILL BE LITTLE OR NO MENTION THAT WITH ALMOST EVERY 

PROMISE OF BLESSING FROM OBEDIENCE THERE IS A PROMISE OF 

CURSING FOR SIN AND DISOBEDIENCE.  WE NEED TO SEEK AND 

SHARE THE WHOLE TRUTH.  EMPHASIS MUST BE PLACED ON THAT 

HARD TRUTH THAT YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO HEAR JUST SITTING IN A 

CONGREGATION.  IT IS NOT GIVEN TO DISCOURAGE OR CAUSE 

FEAR.  IT IS GIVEN TO ENCOURAGE YOU RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS 

OF OBEDIENCE AND TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO AVOID THE CURSES OF 

SIN.  EVERYONE WHO ONLY KNOWS ABOUT BLESSINGS IS MUCH MORE 

LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE CURSES DUE TO IGNORANCE OF THE 

CURSES.



Joel 1:15   PG 743

Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [is] at hand, 

and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

HAS THERE EVER BEEN A GENERATION WHICH HAS MORE REASONS TO 

EXPECT TO SEE THE DAY OF THE LORD?  OBVIOUSLY NO.  

ACCORDING TO WHAT JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 24, LUKE 21, AND 

MARK 13, THE GENERATION WHICH WOULD SEE ISRAEL ESTABLISHED 

AND FLOURISHING AS A NATION WOULD BE THE GENERATION THAT 

WOULD SEE ALL END TIME EVENTS BEING FULFILLED.  WE HAVE 

EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT MUCH OF WHAT JOEL HAS WRITTEN 

IS FOR OUR GENERATION.



Joel 2:1  PG 744

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy 

mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for 

the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand;

THE TRUTH IS THAT IT IS OUR GENERATION WHICH MUST BE TOLD 

THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR AT HAND.  YOU MUST BE 

WARNED TO GET READY FOR THE DAY IS AT HAND.



Joel 2:11-13  PG 745

And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for 

his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that 

executeth his word: for the day of the LORD [is] great and 

very terrible; and who can abide it?

Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye [even] to me 

with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, 

and with mourning:

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto 

the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow 

to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the 

evil.

WE MUST HEAR JOEL SPEAKING TO US.  WHO CAN ENDURE THE DAY 

OF THE LORD?  ONLY THOSE WHOSE HEART IS TOTALLY COMMITTED 

TO THE LORD.  IS JESUS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN YOUR 

FRIENDS AND FAMILY?  WE MUST TURN TO THE LORD WITH ALL OUR 

HEART.  OUTWARD SHOWS WON'T BE WORTH A RIP.  WE NEED TO 

RIP OUR HEARTS IN REPENTANCE.  GOD IS GRACIOUS, AND 

MERCIFUL, AND SLOW TO ANGER, AND GREAT IN KINDNESS, AND 

DOES NOT WANT ANY TO PERISH.  BUT WE MUST HEAR JOEL 

TELLING US THAT GOD WILL FINALLY SAY ENOUGH AND BRING THE 

EVIL OF THIS WORLD TO AN END IN JUDGMENT.  YOU MUST BE 

TOLD THAT THE TIME IS AT HAND.  NO ONE IS TELLING YOU THE 

DAY OR THE HOUR.  BUT COULD IT BE LESS THAN 10 YEARS?  

COULD THE 7 YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION ALREADY HAVE BEGUN?  

THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL BE USHERED IN WITH SUCH SUBTLE 

GRADUAL CHANGES THAT NO ONE WILL KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR 

IN WHICH THE FINAL 7 YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION WILL HAVE 

STARTED.  WILL YOU TAKE THE MARK WHICH YOUR GOVERNMENT 

WILL REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE IN ORDER TO BUY OR SELL?  IT IS 

TIME TO GET SERIOUS.



Joel 2:18-21  PG 245 - 246

Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his 

people.

Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, 

I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be 

satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a 

reproach among the heathen:

But I will remove far off from you the northern [army], 

and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with 

his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward 

the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill 

savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will 

do great things.

WE WILL SEE IT IF WE ARE NOT TAKEN OUT BY A FIRST STRIKE 

NUCLEAR ATTACK BY RUSSIA.  THE WEAKNESS OF RUSSIA IS A 

MYTH.  THEIR STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ARSENAL IS INTACT.  PRIOR 

TO THE LYING "BREAK-UP" OF THE SOVIET UNION THERE WAS ONLY 

ONE FINGER ON THE BUTTON.  NOW - WHO KNOWS?  RUSSIA IS 

VERY PROMINENT IN END TIME PROPHESY.  RUSSIA IS JOEL'S 

NORTHERN ARMY.  AS LONG AS WE HAVE A 2ND AMENDMENT RUSSIA 

KNOWS THAT SHE CAN'T TAKE THE U.S.A..  IF SHE CAN'T TAKE 

IT SHE WILL LIKELY DESTROY IT.  WHOEVER STRIKES FIRST IN 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WAR WINS.  RUSSIA GROWS MORE AND MORE 

DISPARATE EVERY DAY.  IS GOD PUTTING THE HOOK IN RUSSIA'S 

JAW TO PUT HER ON THE MARCH TO WAR?  ISRAEL IS RUSSIA'S 

FINAL TARGET BUT THE U.S.A. IS LIKELY HER FIRST TARGET.  

ISRAEL HAS NOTHING TO FEAR BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF WILL 

DESTROY RUSSIA.  ISRAEL WILL NOT HAVE TO FIRE A SHOT AND 

83% OF ALL RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WILL BE KILLED SO THAT THE 

WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT THE GOD OF ISRAEL IS THE ONLY 

TRUE GOD.  THE LORD WILL DO GREAT THINGS FOR ISRAEL.



Joel 2:25-27  PG 746

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath 

eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the 

palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise 

the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously 

with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and 

[that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my 

people shall never be ashamed.

WHAT A GREAT PROMISE OF GOD - I WILL RESTORE THE YEARS 

THAT THE LOCUST AND CANKERWORM HAVE EATEN.  MAKE NO 

MISTAKE ISRAEL IS GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.  THE JEWS REJECTION 

OF MESSIAH JESUS IS THE ONLY REASON THAT WE GENTILES HAVE 

HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD.  

BUT THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES WILL COME TO AN END.  THE 

ARMY OF ISRAEL IS THE ONLY ARMY IN THE WORLD WHICH CANNOT 

EVER AGAIN BE DEFEATED.  IT TOOK 6 DAYS FOR THE 3 MILLION 

JEWS TO DEFEAT THE 20 MILLION ARABS IN 1963.  THEY WERE 

EVEN BETTER IN 1967.  IN THE BIGGEST AIR BATTLE IN 

HISTORY, ISRAEL WIPED OUT THE ENTIRE SYRIAN AIR FORCE 

EQUIPPED WITH THE LATEST RUSSIAN MIGS.  THE RESULTS OF THE 

DOG FIGHT WAS 92 TO 0 IN FAVOR OF ISRAEL.  SOMEBODY SHOULD 

HAVE GOTTEN OFF 1 LUCKY SHOT FOR SYRIA BUT GOD DID NOT LET 

IT HAPPEN.  ALWAYS BE ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL.  OTHERWISE 

GOD IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE.  GOD WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS 

ISRAEL AND GOD WILL CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE ISRAEL.  ISRAEL 

HAS BEEN PERSECUTED BUT NEVER AGAIN.  ANTICHRIST WILL MAKE 

A PEACE TREATY WITH ISRAEL.  PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO ANY 

PEACE TALKS INVOLVING ISRAEL.  NEVER BE AGAINST ISRAEL OR 

YOU WILL BE AGAINST GOD.



Joel 2:28-32  PG 746 - 747

And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour 

out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your 

daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, 

your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those 

days will I pour out my spirit.

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, 

blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into 

blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD 

come.

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on 

the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion 

and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath 

said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

THERE CANNOT BE ANY DOUBT ABOUT THESE PASSAGES PETER 

EXPLAINS THEM FOR US - Acts 2:14-24  But Peter, standing 

up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto 

them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at 

Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my 

words:  For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing  

it is [but] the third hour of the day.  But this is that 

which was spoken by the prophet Joel;  And it shall come 

to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my 

Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters 

shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and 

your old men shall dream dreams:  And on my servants and 

on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my 

Spirit; and they shall prophesy:  And I will shew wonders 

in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, 

and fire, and vapour of smoke:  The sun shall be turned 

into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great 

and notable day of the Lord come:   And it shall come to 

pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.  Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus 

of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles 

and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst 

of you, as ye yourselves also know:   Him, being delivered 

by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye 

have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: 

because it was not possible that he should be holden of 

it.  WAS PETER TELLING THEM WHAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR?  NO 

WAY!  HE GAVE THEM THE STRAIGHT HARD TRUTH.  IT WAS AT 

PENTECOST.  JESUS HAD SENT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO INDWELL 

THOSE WHO WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS HAD TURNED TO THE LORD 

JESUS CHRIST.  PETER DID NOT HESITATE TO TELL THE TRUTH 

THAT ONLY THOSE WHO CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS 

CHRIST AND HAVE THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT WOULD HAVE ANY 

HOPE IN THE DAY OF GOD'S JUDGMENT.  PETER'S EXPLANATION OF 

JOEL'S PROPHESY SHOULD MEAN MORE TO US THAN IT DID WHEN HE 

SPOKE.  Acts 2:37-38 Now when they heard [this], they were 

pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the 

rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we 

do?   Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized 

every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the 

remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the 

Holy Ghost.  Acts 2:41  Then they that gladly received his 

word were baptized: and the same day there were added 

[unto them] about three thousand souls.



Joel 3:12-17  PG 747

Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of 

Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen 

round about.

Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get 

you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for 

their wickedness [is] great.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the 

day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars 

shall withdraw their shining.

The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice 

from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: 

but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the  

strength of the children of Israel.

So shall ye know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in 

Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and 

there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

WE ARE LIKELY TO WITNESS THE GATHERING OF THE ARMIES OF 

ANTICHRIST TO THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT (ARMAGEDDON).  THE 

LORD SHALL ROAR OUT OF ZION.  CHRIST IS COMING BACK.  THIS 

TIME NOT AS THE LAMB OF GOD BUT AS THE ROARING LION OF 

JUDAH.  THE LORD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE AND STRENGTH.  WHAT 

PRIORITY DOES THE LORD NOW HAVE IN YOUR LIFE?





AN INTERESTING POINT IS THAT THE PROPHET JOEL WROTE THIS 

PROPHESY ABOUT 2800 YEARS AGO.  IN THE VOCABULARY OF 3000 

YEARS AGO HOW WOULD ONE DESCRIBE NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS?  

BLOOD AND FIRE AND PILLARS OF SMOKE - FIRE & BILLOWING 

PILLARS OF SMOKE.









JUN 14  2 CHRON 24  2 KINGS 10, 12, 13      PG 748- 752



II Chronicles 24:3   PG 748

And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and 

daughters.

JEHOIADA PROTECTED JOASH AND RAISED HIM RIGHT.  JEHOIADA 

CHOSE THE 2 WIVES FOR JOASH.



II Kings 12:5 & 14  PG 748 & 749

Let the priests take [it] to them, every man of his 

acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the 

house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.

12:14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired 

therewith the house of the LORD.

JOASH ORDERS THE TEMPLE TO BE RENOVATED.  IT SEEMS THAT 

JUDAH IS BACK ON TRACK TO SEEK AFTER THE LORD AND NOW HAS 

A GOOD KING.



II Kings 10:35  PG 749

And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in 

Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

MEANWHILE OVER IN ISRAEL JEHU DIES AND HIS SON JEHOAHAZ 

BECOMES KING OF ISRAEL.



II Kings 13:2-6  PG 750 - 751

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, 

and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which 

made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and 

he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, 

and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, all 

[their] days.

And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened 

unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the 

king of Syria oppressed them.

(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out 

from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of 

Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.

Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house 

of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, [but] walked therein: 

and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)

JEHU HAD EXECUTED THE JUDGMENT OF GOD ON JEZEBEL, AND HAD 

PURGED BOTH JUDAH AN ISRAEL OF THEIR EVIL KINGS AS WELL AS 

ELIMINATING BAAL WORSHIP FROM ISRAEL.  YET JEHU WOULD NOT 

ABDICATE HIS THRONE IN ORDER TO REUNITE THE NATION.  HE 

KEPT THE CALF WORSHIP THAT JEROBOAM HAD SET UP.  AS A 

RESULT ISRAEL WAS UNDER CONTINUAL ATTACK FROM SYRIA.  AS 

EVIL AS JEHOAHAZ WAS WHEN HE ASKED THE LORD TO DELIVER 

ISRAEL FROM THE SYRIAN OPPRESSION, THE LORD DELIVERED 

ISRAEL.  THE LORD GAVE ISRAEL A SAVIOR.  THEN IT WAS THE 

POWER OF GOD THRU ELISHA.  THE TRUE SAVIOR OF ISRAEL AND 

THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOD HIMSELF IN THE PERSON OF JESUS 

CHRIST.  THE NAME JESUS MEANS JEHOVAH IS SALVATION AND 

CHRIST MEAN MESSIAH OR KING.



II Chronicles 24:15-21  PG 750

But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; 

an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.

And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, 

because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and 

toward his house.

Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, 

and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened 

unto them.

And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, 

and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and 

Jerusalem for this their trespass.

Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the 

LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not 

give ear.

And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of 

Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and 

said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the 

commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because 

ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones 

at the commandment of the king in the court of the house 

of the LORD.

JEHOIADA THE PRIEST DIED AT AGE 130.  HE WAS BURIED WITH 

THE KINGS BECAUSE OF THE GOOD HE HAD DONE AND HAD ACTED AS 

KING BETWEEN THE TIME THAT ATHILEAH HAD BEEN REMOVED AND 

JOASH WAS OLD ENOUGH TO REIGN.  AS SOON AS JEHOIADA DIED 

JOASH ALLOWS THE SEXUAL IMMORALITY RELIGIONS BACK INTO 

JUDAH.  ZECHARIAH, JEHOIADA'S SON, PROPHESIED AND SPOKE 

OUT AGAINST THE PAGAN SEX RELIGIONS AND WAS KILLED FOR IT.  

GOD SENT THE GREAT PROPHETS BUT THE KINGS AND PEOPLE WOULD 

NOT LISTEN TO THEM AND KILLED THEM.  GOD'S PROPHETS 

HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR THEIR MINISTRY.  THEY 

USUALLY DON'T TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO 

HEAR.  PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THEIR SINS.  THEY 

DON'T WANT TO ASSOCIATE THEIR SINS WITH THEIR PROBLEMS.



II Chronicles 24:23-24  PG 751

And it came to pass at the end of the year, [that] the 

host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah 

and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people 

from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto 

the king of Damascus.

For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of 

men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their 

hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their 

fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

JOASH SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE PROPHETS THAT GOD HAD 

SENT TO HIM INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM KILLED.  SYRIA BECAME 

GOD'S INSTRUMENT OF JUDGMENT UPON JUDAH BECAUSE THEY 

TURNED AWAY FROM GOD AND WENT BACK INTO THE OLD SEX 

RELIGIONS WITH THE IDOLS AND ASHERAH POLES.



II Kings 12:18   PG 751

And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things 

that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, 

kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed 

things, and all the gold [that was] found in the treasures 

of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and 

sent [it] to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from 

Jerusalem.

LATER WE WILL SEE THAT APPEASEMENT OF AN HOSTILE NATION 

NEVER WORKS.  JOASH TOOK ALL OF THE VALUABLE SACRED 

OBJECTS AND THE GOLD OF THE TEMPLE AND BOUGHT OFF THE KING 

OF SYRIA.  JUST AS IT DIDN'T WORK WHEN THE WORLD TRIED TO 

APPEASE HITLER IT DOESN'T WORK FOR JOASH.  RIGHTEOUSNESS 

EXALTS A NATION - BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE.  

THE KEY TO ULTIMATE PEACE AND PROSPERITY IS RIGHTEOUSNESS. 

(Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin 

[is] a reproach to any people.)



II Kings 13:17-19  PG 751-752

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened [it]. 

Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The 

arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of 

deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians 

in Aphek, till thou have consumed [them].

And he said, Take the arrows. And he took [them]. And he 

said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And 

he smote thrice, and stayed.

And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou 

shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou 

smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed [it]: whereas now 

thou shalt smite Syria [but] thrice.

HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE 100% ACCURACY IN THE 

FULFILLMENT OF BIBLE PROPHESY.









JUN 15  2 CHRON 25  2 KINGS 13, 14          PG 752- 755



II Kings 14:1   PG 752

In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel 

reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.

AFTER A WHILE IT GETS HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF WHO IS KING OF 

WHAT AND WHEN.  AT ANY RATE AMAZIAH IS NOW KING OF JUDAH.



II Kings 14:3-5  PG 752-753

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the 

LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to 

all things as Joash his father did.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the 

people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed 

in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the 

king his father.

AMAZIAH WAS A GOOD KING YET HE STILL DID NOT TAKE DOWN THE 

HIGH PLACES WHICH WERE A LICENCE FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY.



II Kings 13:20-21  PG 753

And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the 

Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, 

behold, they spied a band [of men]; and they cast the man 

into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let 

down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and 

stood up on his feet.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?   EVEN AFTER ELISHA IS DEAD AND 

BURIED GOD WORKS A MIRACLE THROUGH ELISHA'S BONES.



II Kings 13:22-23   PG 753

But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of 

Jehoahaz.

And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on 

them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant 

with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy 

them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

ISRAEL HAD TURNED AWAY FROM GOD BUT WAS NOT JUDGED BECAUSE 

OF GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM.  GOD WAS HOPEFUL THAT 

ISRAEL WOULD REPENT.  THEY WERE NOT TAKEN CAPTIVE IN 

JUDGMENT - YET!  GOD IS SO PATIENT.  HE DOES NOT WANT TO 

DO ANYTHING BUT BLESS US YET IF WE ARE IN REBELLION WE 

WILL ULTIMATELY BE JUDGED.  JUST BECAUSE WE ARE NOT JUDGED 

IMMEDIATELY DOES NOT MEAN THAT JUDGMENT WILL NOT BE 

INEVITABLE WITHOUT REPENTANCE.



II Kings 13:25   PG 753

And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand 

of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had 

taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three 

times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of 

Israel.

JUST AS ELISHA HAD PROPHESIED SYRIA WAS BEATEN 3 TIMES BUT 

ULTIMATELY SYRIA WOULD BE THE VICTOR SINCE ISRAEL WOULD 

NOT REPENT.



II Chronicles 25:7-8  PG 753

But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let 

not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not 

with Israel, [to wit, with] all the children of Ephraim.

But if thou wilt go, do [it], be strong for the battle: 

God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath 

power to help, and to cast down.

BACK IN JUDAH THEY WERE AT LEAST HALF-HEARTEDLY FOLLOWING 

THE LORD.  AMAZIAH HAD HIRED 100,000 MERCENARIES FROM 

ISRAEL THAT THE PROPHET TOLD HIM WAS UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD.  

THE PROPHET EXPLAINED THAT IT IS GOD WHO GIVES THE 

VICTORY.  AMAZIAH WAS OBEDIENT AND GOD GAVE HIM THE 

VICTORY.  BUT THE MERCENARIES WHICH HE HAD SENT HOME 

ATTACKED HIS CITIES WHILE HE WAS FIGHTING THE EDOMITES.



II Chronicles 25:14-23  PG 754

Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the 

slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the 

children of Seir, and set them up [to be] his gods, and 

bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto 

them.

Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against 

Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto 

him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, 

which could not deliver their own people out of thine 

hand?

And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the 

king] said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? 

forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet 

forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to 

destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not 

hearkened unto my counsel.

Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, 

the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, 

saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.

And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, 

saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the 

cedar that [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to 

my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that 

[was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.

Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine 

heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why 

shouldest thou meddle to [thine] hurt, that thou shouldest 

fall, [even] thou, and Judah with thee?

But Amaziah would not hear; for it [came] of God, that he 

might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], 

because they sought after the gods of Edom.

So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one 

another in the face, [both] he and Amaziah king of Judah, 

at Beth-shemesh, which [belongeth] to Judah.

And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they 

fled every man to his tent.

And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, 

the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, 

and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of 

Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, 

four hundred cubits.

SINCE GOD HAD GIVEN HIM THE VICTORY IT IS CRAZY HOW HE 

COULD HAVE SET UP THE EDOMITE IDOLS.  MAD AT WHAT THE 

MERCENARIES HAD DONE AND FILLED WITH PRIDE FROM THE 

VICTORY OVER THE EDOMITES HE CHALLENGES ISRAEL.  HE IS 

DEFEATED BECAUSE OF HIS PRIDE AND SETTING UP THE IDOLS OF 

EDOM.



WAS IT IDOLATRY OR PRIDE THAT BROUGHT HIM DOWN?  IF IT WAS 

NOT FOR HIS PRIDE, HE COULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE PROPHET 

THAT GOD HAD SENT TO HIM.  WE ALL NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR 

PRIDE WHICH WILL CAUSE US ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.







JUN 16  JONAH                               PG 755- 758



Jonah 1:1-3  PG 755

Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of 

Amittai, saying,

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; 

for their wickedness is come up before me.

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence 

of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship 

going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went 

down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the 

presence of the LORD.

NINEVEH WAS THE CAPITAL OF SYRIA.  SYRIA WAS CONTINUALLY 

ATTACKING ISRAEL.  ISRAEL BECAME WEAK BECAUSE THEY HAD 

TURNED AWAY FROM GOD.  WHEN WE GET WEAK FROM BECOMING A 

GODLESS SOCIETY DON'T BE SURPRISED IF RUSSIA NUKES US.  

SUPPOSE YOU KNEW WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT RUSSIA WAS 

GOING TO LAUNCH A FIRST STRIKE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WAR 

AGAINST US.  THEN SUPPOSE GOD TOLD YOU TO GO TO MOSCOW AND 

TELL THEM GOD WAS GOING TO DESTROY THEM.  THIS IS EXACTLY 

THE SITUATION OF JONAH.  HE DID NOT WANT TO WARN HIS 

COUNTRY'S MORTAL ENEMY THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE 

DESTROYED BY GOD.  HE WANTED GOD TO DESTROY HIS COUNTRY'S 

ENEMY.  SO INSTEAD OF GOING TO NINEVEH HE TRIES TO RUN 

AWAY FROM GOD TO THE FARTHEST PART OF THE KNOWN WORLD OF 

HIS DAY - TARSHISH OR SPAIN AS WE KNOW IT TODAY.  CAN YOU 

RUN AWAY OR HIDE FROM GOD?  NO WAY, YOU ONLY FOOL 

YOURSELF.



Jonah 1:11-12 & 15  PG 756

Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that 

the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was 

tempestuous.

And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into 

the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know 

that for my sake this great tempest [is] upon you.

So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: 

and the sea ceased from her raging.

THE LORD CAUSED A TREMENDOUS STORM ON THE SEA.  JONAH TOLD 

THE SAILORS IT WAS HIS FAULT BECAUSE HE WAS RUNNING AWAY 

FROM GOD.  THE ONLY WAY ANY OF THEM COULD AVOID DROWNING 

WAS TO THROW HIM OVERBOARD.  THAT DID THE TRICK THE SEA 

BECAME CALM.



Jonah 1:16-17  PG 756

Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a 

sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.

Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up 

Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days 

and three nights.

AT THIS POINT MANY SAY THIS IS JUST A FABLE.  IT IS NOT A 

FABLE, IT IS AN ACTUAL HISTORICAL FACT.  ABOUT 10 YEARS 

AGO SOMEONE WAS SWALLOWED BY A WHALE.  REMEMBER, WHALES 

ARE AIR BREATHING MAMMALS.  IT IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT 

PROBABLE.  IS ANYTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD?   REMEMBER 

ALSO, JESUS TOLD US THIS IS TRUE.  Matthew 12:39, Matthew 

16:4, AND LUKE 11:29-30  And when the people were gathered 

thick together, he began to say, This is an evil 

generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be 

given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also 

the Son of man be to this generation.





Jonah 2:7-9  PG 756

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and 

my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of 

thanksgiving; I will pay [that] that I have vowed. 

Salvation [is] of the LORD.

HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN SO LOW THAT YOUR SOUL FAINTS?  

REMEMBER THE LORD.  PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.  NO MATTER WHAT 

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES THEY COULD NOT BE WORSE THAN THE 

CIRCUMSTANCE THAT JONAH WAS IN WHILE HE PRAYED THIS GREAT 

PRAYER.  SALVATION IS OF THE LORD.  NOBODY CAN BE GOOD 

ENOUGH TO MERIT ANYTHING BUT HELL.  GOD GIVES SALVATION AS 

A DEMONSTRATION OF HIS MERCY AND GRACE THROUGH JESUS 

CHRIST.  THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OF SALVATION.



Jonah 2:10    PG 756

And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah 

upon the dry [land].

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE WALKING ALONG THE SHORE AND HERE 

COMES THIS GREAT WHALE AND -  BLAAAHHH - THERE'S JONAH.   

GET THIS PICTURE STRAIGHT.  THE WHALE DEPOSITS JONAH ON 

SHORE AND HE WALKS INTO NINEVEH BLEACHED COMPLETELY WHITE 

BY BEING IN THE WHALE'S BELLY FOR 3 DAYS.  HE WALKS UP AND 

SAYS REPENT!  WHAT WOULD YOU DO?  JUST WHAT THEY DID IN 

NINEVEH.  THEY REPENTED.



Jonah 3:3-6  PG 757

So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the 

word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city 

of three days' journey.

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, 

and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall 

be overthrown.

So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a 

fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even 

to the least of them.

For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from 

his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered 

[him] with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

WHEN THESE PEOPLE SAW AND HEARD JONAH THEY GOT SERIOUS 

ABOUT THEIR REPENTANCE.  EVEN THE KING FASTED IN SACKCLOTH 

AND ASHES.  HE MADE A DECREE THAT THEY SHOULD QUIT THEIR 

EVIL WAYS AND THEIR VIOLENCE.  NO MORE ATTACKING OF 

ISRAEL.



Jonah 3:9-10  PG 757

Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn away 

from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil 

way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that 

he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.

THEY REPENTED AND THEY WERE NOT DESTROYED.



Jonah 4:1-4  PG 757

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very 

angry.

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O 

LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my 

country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew 

that thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to 

anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the 

evil.

Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from 

me; for [it is] better for me to die than to live.

Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

JONAH EXPLAINS WHY HE WAS FLEEING TO TARSHISH.  HE KNEW 

HOW MERCIFUL GOD IS.  HE WANTED GOD TO DESTROY NINEVEH.  

IF HE HAD GONE IMMEDIATELY NINEVEH MAY NOT HAVE REPENTED.  

THE BLEACH JOB OF HIS WHOLE BODY BY THE WHALE NO DOUBT 

MADE HIM MUCH MORE BELIEVABLE.



Jonah 4:9-11  PG 758

And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the 

gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto 

death.

Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for 

the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; 

which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein 

are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot 

discern between their right hand and their left hand; and 

[also] much cattle?

ME AND JONAH - WOW!  WHAT HARDHEADS.  GOD TOLD HIM THERE 

WERE MORE THAN 60,000 CHILDREN WHO WERE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW 

THEIR RIGHT FROM THEIR LEFT AND THEREFORE HAD TO BE 

INNOCENT.



II Kings 13:5 (And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that 

they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the 

children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.

OBVIOUSLY SYRIA DID REPENT OF THEIR VIOLENT WAYS BECAUSE 

THE ATTACKS ON ISRAEL STOPPED.



II Kings 14:25 He restored the coast of Israel from the 

entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to 

the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the 

hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the 

prophet, which [was] of Gath-hepher.

JONAH WAS FROM GALILEE.  PHARISEES WRONG IN JOHN 7:52.









JUN 17  HOSEA 1, 2, 3                       PG 758 - 762



Hosea 1:2   PG758

The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the 

LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms 

and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed 

great whoredom, [departing] from the LORD.

GOD TOLD HOSEA TO MARRY A PROSTITUTE.  HOSEA WAS TO BE 

GOD'S INSTRUMENT TO TELL ISRAEL HOW GOD FELT WHEN ISRAEL 

WORSHIPED BAAL AND TURNED TO IDOLATRY.



Hosea 1:3-5  PG 759

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which 

conceived, and bare him a son.

And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet 

a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel 

upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the 

kingdom of the house of Israel.

And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break 

the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

ISRAEL WAS TO LOOSE A DECISIVE BATTLE AT JEZREEL.  ISRAEL 

WAS TO GO INTO CAPTIVITY.



Hosea 1:6  PG 759

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And [God] 

said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no 

more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will 

utterly take them away.

THE DAUGHTER'S NAME MEANT NO PITY OR NO MERCY.  GOD WAS 

SAYING HE HAD ENOUGH OF ISRAEL'S HARLOTRY.  HE WOULD NO 

LONGER HAVE MERCY.  NO MATTER HOW THEY PLEADED HE WOULD 

NOT PITY ISRAEL.  THEIR CHANCES TO REPENT WERE GONE.  

THERE IS A SOBERING MESSAGE FOR US AS WELL.  GOD'S MERCY 

IS INFINITE AND ETERNAL.  I AM LIVING PROOF OF THAT.  YET 

THERE DOES FINALLY COME A TIME WHEN IT IS NO LONGER 

POSSIBLE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TO REPENT.  THERE IS NO 

GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL BE HERE TOMORROW.  IF WE DIE IN OUR 

SINS THERE IS NO LONGER ANY CHANCE TO REPENT.



Hosea 1:7  PG 759

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will 

save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by 

bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by 

horsemen.

GOD PROMISES THAT HE WOULD STILL HAVE MERCY ON JUDAH AND 

THEY WOULD AT LEAST FOR NOW BE SAVED FROM CAPTIVITY.  IT 

WOULD NOT BE BY THEIR MILITARY STRENGTH BUT BY GOD'S 

DIRECT INTERVENTION.



Hosea 1:9   PG 759

Then said [God], Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye [are] not 

my people, and I will not be your [God].

THE SECOND SON'S NAME WAS LOAMMI MEANING NOT MY PEOPLE.  

WHAT IF GOD WERE TO SAY THAT HE WAS NO LONGER GOING TO 

HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU?  WHAT IF YOU COULDN'T PRAY?  

HELL = ETERNAL, CONSCIOUS, HOPELESS, SEPARATION FROM GOD.





Hosea 2:13   PG 760

And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she 

burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her 

earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, 

and forgat me, saith the LORD.

ISRAEL REJECTED GOD AND THEREFORE HE WAS ALLOWING THEM TO 

SUFFER THE PUNISHMENT OF BEING CONQUERED AND TAKEN 

CAPTIVE.



Hosea 2:18   PG 761

And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the 

beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and 

[with] the creeping things of the ground: and I will break 

the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and 

will make them to lie down safely.

HERE IS THE GREAT MESSAGE OF HOPE.  SOME TIME IN THE 

DISTANT FUTURE, GOD WOULD AGAIN MAKE ISRAEL HIS COVENANT 

PEOPLE AND GIVE THEM EVERLASTING PEACE.  I BELIEVE WE ARE 

WITNESSING THE BEGINNING OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THIS 

PROMISE.  ISRAEL IS BEING REGATHERED FROM THE DISPERSION.  

THE PEACE TREATY WITH ANTICHRIST WILL COME FIRST, TO BE 

BROKEN IN 3 1/2 YEARS AND 3 1/2 YEARS LATER CHRIST WILL 

COME TO PUT DOWN THE ARMIES OF ANTICHRIST AND SET UP HIS 

MILLENNIAL KINGDOM HERE.  ISRAEL'S ARMY TODAY IS THE ONLY 

UNDEFEATABLE ARMY BECAUSE GOD IS ON ISRAEL'S SIDE AGAIN.



Hosea 2:23  PG 761

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have 

mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say 

to [them which were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; 

and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.

I BELIEVE THAT OUR GENERATION IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE 

GENERATION WHICH IS WITNESSING THE FULFILLMENT OF THIS 

PROPHESY.  WE ARE WITNESSING ISRAEL BEING REGATHERED IN 

THEIR HOMELAND AFTER 2000 YEARS OF DISPERSION.



Hosea 3:4-5  PG 762

For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a 

king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and 

without an image, and without an ephod, and [without] 

teraphim:

Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek 

the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear 

the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

IT HAS INDEED BEEN MANY DAYS SINCE ISRAEL HAS BEEN WITHOUT 

A KING, A PRINCE, OR A SACRIFICE.  AS I WRITE TODAY IT HAS 

BEEN 1,923 YEARS.  IS NOT OUR GENERATION INDEED THE 

GENERATION WHICH IS SEEING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BEING 

RETURNED.  ALL THAT REMAINS IS FOR ISRAEL TO RECOGNIZE 

THEIR MESSIAH - JESUS CHRIST.









JUN 18  HOSEA 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9            PG 762 - 769

Hosea 4:1-2  PG 762

Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the 

LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, 

because [there is] no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of 

God in the land.

By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and 

committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth 

blood.

IS THIS ALSO AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITIONS IN 

OUR LAND TODAY AS WELL?



Hosea 4:6  PG 762

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSE IN THE BOOK OF HOSEA.  

GOD'S PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.  THIS IS 

THE ONLY REASON THAT GOD'S PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED.  WHAT 

KNOWLEDGE IS GOD TALKING ABOUT?   THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S 

WORD.  WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE REJECT GOD'S WORD, THEN THEY HAVE 

REJECTED GOD AND THEY ARE DESTROYED.

because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject 

thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast 

forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy 

children.

WHEN ONE REJECTS THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S WORD AND FORGET 

THE LAWS OF GOD THEN YOU ARE HEADED FOR DESTRUCTION.



Hosea 4:18  PG 763

Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom 

continually: her rulers [with] shame do love, Give ye.

CLINTON IS PROMOTING SODOMITES AND ABORTION.  HOMOSEXUALS 

ARE SODOMITES AND SODOMY IS SIN.  ABORTION IS EXACTLY THE 

SAME AS SACRIFICING CHILDREN TO MOLECH.  ACCORDING TO WHAT 

THE WORD OF GOD CLEARLY TEACHES THESE ARE SERIOUS SINS.

WHEN A NATION'S RULERS DEARLY LOVE SHAMEFUL WAYS THAT 

NATION WILL BE SWEPT AWAY.



Hosea 5:4   PG 764

They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: 

for the spirit of whoredoms [is] in the midst of them, and 

they have not known the LORD.

THEIR DEEDS DO NOT  PERMIT THEM TO RETURN TO THEIR GOD.  A 

SPIRIT OF PROSTITUTION IS IN THEIR HEART AND THEY DO NOT 

ACKNOWLEDGE THE LORD.



Hosea 6:6   PG 765

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge 

of God more than burnt offerings.

GOD WANTS US TO BE MERCIFUL.  WE NEED TO HAVE FORGIVING 

AND COMPASSIONATE HEARTS.  THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT TO GOD 

THAN ANY FORM OF SACRIFICE.  THE PURSUIT OF THE KNOWLEDGE 

OF THE WORD OF GOD IS MORE DESIRABLE TO GOD THAN BURNT 

OFFERINGS.

Hosea 7:3   PG 766

They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the 

princes with their lies.

IT IS A LIE TO SAY THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS NATURAL FOR 

ANYONE.  IT IS A LIE TO SAY THAT ABORTION DOES NOT KILL A 

BABY.  YET OUR PRESIDENT IS GLAD TO PROMOTE THE RIGHTS OF 

SODOMITES AND THE RIGHT OF WOMEN TO KILL THEIR UNBORN 

BABIES.



Hosea 7:13   PG 766-767

Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction 

unto them! because they have transgressed against me: 

though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies 

against me.

WOE UNTO US!  IF THIS NATION CONTINUES TO FORSAKE GOD IT 

IS HEADED FOR DESTRUCTION.  YOU MUST FORCE YOURSELF TO SEE 

THE TRUTH THAT DESTRUCTION COULD COME AT ANY MOMENT THAT 

RUSSIA LAUNCHES A FIRST STRIKE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK.  

THE "BREAK-UP" OF THE SOVIET UNION HAS NO EFFECT OTHER 

THAN TO INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A FIRST STRIKE 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK.  THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO 

HEAR OR THINK ABOUT BUT IT IS THE TRUTH THAT YOU MUST BE 

TOLD.



Hosea 8:7   PG 767

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the 

whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: 

if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

IF YOU SOW THE WIND, YOU SHALL REAP THE WHIRLWIND.



Hosea 9:7   PG 769

The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence 

are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, 

the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thine 

iniquity, and the great hatred.

IN OUR LAND TODAY IS THE PROPHET CONSIDERED A FOOL?  

BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT WICKEDNESS HAS MULTIPLIED IN THIS 

NATION, AND THE REJECTION TO THE POINT OF HATRED OF GOD 

AND GOD'S PRINCIPLES, THE SPIRITUAL MAN OF GOD IS 

CONSIDERED CRAZY.



Hosea 9:17   PG 769

My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken 

unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

GOD DID CAST ISRAEL AWAY AND THEY HAVE BEEN WANDERERS 

THROUGHOUT ALL NATIONS WITHOUT A HOMELAND UNTIL OUR 

GENERATION.















JUN 19  HOSEA 10-14, 2 KINGS 15, 2 CHRON. 26 PG 762 - 769



Hosea 10:12   PG 771

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break 

up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, 

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

AMEN!  IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD.  HOW DO YOU SOW TO 

YOURSELF IN RIGHTEOUSNESS?   GET SERIOUS ABOUT STUDYING 

HIS WORD.  STUDYING GOD'S WORD WILL INCREASE YOUR FAITH 

AND YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  IT IS TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT 

GETTING READY FOR THE LORD'S RETURN.  BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW 

GROUND - PULL ALL THE STOPS, AND SEEK THE LORD WITH YOUR 

FULLEST POTENTIAL UNTIL HE RETURNS.  IT MAY BE SOON.



Hosea 10:13   PG 771

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye 

have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in 

thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

ALL OF US HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF WICKEDNESS IN ONE FORM OR 

ANOTHER.  WE HAVE ALL TRUSTED IN OUR OWN WAYS WHEN WE 

SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRUSTING GOD.  REPENTANCE MEANS TO AGREE 

WITH GOD THAT WE NEED TO REDIRECT OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO 

HIS WAYS AND NOT OUR OWN WAYS.



Hosea 11:1   PG 771

When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my 

son out of Egypt.

THIS IS A MESSIANIC PROPHECY WHICH JESUS FULFILLED.  

JOSEPH TOOK JESUS AND MARY TO EGYPT BEFORE HERROD HAD ALL 

MALE BABIES LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD KILLED.



Hosea 11:9-11  PG 772

I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will 

not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not 

man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not 

enter into the city.

They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: 

when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from 

the west.

They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove 

out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their 

houses, saith the LORD.

WHAT A FANTASTIC PROMISE TO GIVE GREAT HOPE TO ISRAEL.  

PRAISE GOD THAT HIS WAYS ARE NOT LIKE OUR WAYS.  GOD IS 

INFINITE IN HIS MERCY, COMPASSION, AND PATIENCE.  HE IS 

ALWAYS WANTING TO FORGIVE MORE THAN WE WANT TO BE 

FORGIVEN.  WITH GOD'S AWESOME POWER WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM 

EVERY DAY FOR HIS INFINITE MERCY IN JESUS CHRIST.  WHEN 

ALL NATIONS ARE GATHERED AGAINST ISRAEL AND THEY FINALLY 

RECOGNIZE MESSIAH JESUS, HE WILL THEN ROAR LIKE A LION AND 

ALL THE WORLD WILL TREMBLE IN FEAR OF HIM.



Hosea 12:6  PG 772

Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, 

and wait on thy God continually.

WE MUST REPENT AND TURN TO GOD AND HIS WAYS WITH ALL OUR 

HEART.  MAINTAIN LOVE AND JUSTICE.  WAIT CONTINUALLY FOR 

GOD.



Hosea 13:4   PG 773

Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and 

thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour 

beside me.

JESUS IS THE ONLY SAVIOR.  WE CANNOT SAVE OURSELVES.  NO 

ONE CAN EVER HAVE THE NECESSARY RIGHTEOUSNESS APART FROM 

JESUS.  SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT OF GOD THROUGH THE SHED 

BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST TO PAY THE PRICE THAT NONE OF COULD 

PAY OURSELVES.



Hosea 13:6  PG 773

According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were 

filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they 

forgotten me.

WATCH OUT WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING GREAT FOR YOU.  

THE NORMAL HUMAN TENDENCY WHEN WE ARE BLESSED BY GOD IS TO 

BECOME PROUD AND FORGET THAT GOD IS THE SOURCE OF OUR 

BLESSINGS.



Hosea 13:9   PG 774

O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] 

thine help.

WHEN ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD TURN AGAINST ISRAEL THEN GOD 

WILL FIGHT THEIR BATTLES.  WE ARE WITNESSING THIS TODAY.  

THE 6 DAY WAR IN 1963, AGAIN IN 1967, AND IN 1982 IN THE 

LARGEST DOGFIGHT IN HISTORY ISRAEL SHOT DOWN 92 SYRIAN 

MIGS AND NOT 1 ISRAELI PLANE WENT DOWN.  THERE CAN BE NO 

DOUBT THAT GOD IS HELPING ISRAEL.



Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the 

grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be 

thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: 

repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.

WE FIND ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST.  ETERNAL TORMENT AND 

SEPARATION FROM GOD IS THE PENALTY FOR REJECTING THE LOVE 

OF GOD IN JESUS CHRIST.



Hosea 14:9 Who [is] wise, and he shall understand these 

[things]? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of 

the LORD [are] right, and the just shall walk in them: but 

the transgressors shall fall therein.

ARE YOU WISE?  JESUS CHRIST IS WISDOM.  DO YOU UNDERSTAND 

WHAT IS AT STEAK REGARDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD IN 

JESUS CHRIST?











JUN 20  AMOS 1, 2, 3, 4                 PG 777 - 782



Amos 1:1   PG 777

The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, 

which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king 

of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash 

king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

AMOS IS A SHEPHERD.  TOTALLY UNEDUCATED, HE IS CALLED BY 

GOD TO REBUKE THE KING AND THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF 

ISRAEL.  AMOS PRONOUNCES GOD'S PENDING JUDGMENT ON THE 

NATIONS FOR THEIR SPECIFIC NATIONAL SINS.  GET SET FOR 

SOME EARTHY LANGUAGE AND HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED BOLDNESS 

FROM THE SHEPHERD AND SYCAMORE PRUNER AND DUNGER OF TEKOA.



Amos 1:2   PG 777

And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his 

voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds 

shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

WE ALL NEED TO BE ABOUT OUR PREPARATIONS TO HEAR THE LORD 

ROARING OUT OF ZION.  MESSIAH JESUS IS SOON TO RETURN AS 

THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.  JOB 1 FOR ALL OF US IS - 

GET READY!  HE IS COMING AGAIN AND EVERYONE WILL RECOGNIZE 

WHO HE REALLY IS THIS TIME.  NO LAMB-LIKE MEEKNESS AND 

GENTLENESS IS JESUS THIS TIME.  THE GREAT ROARING LION 

THAT NONE CAN WITHSTAND IS JESUS THIS TIME.



Amos 1:3   PG 777

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, 

and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] 

thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing 

instruments of iron:

THUS SIATH THE LORD; FOR THREE TRANSGRESSIONS AND FOR 

FOUR, I WILL NOT TURN AWAY THE PUNISHMENT.  THIS IS THE  

MESSAGE WHICH GOD CALLED AMOS TO DELIVER AGAINST SYRIA, 

PHILISTIA, TYRE, EDOM, JORDON, MOAB, JUDAH AND ISRAEL.



Amos 1:11    PG 778

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and 

for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; 

because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did 

cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and 

he kept his wrath for ever:

WHEN AMOS GETS TO EDOM, HE GETS TO ME.  MY PERSONALITY IS 

INTENSE.  MY BESETTING SINS ARE PRIDE AND ANGER, JUST LIKE 

ESAU.  I ACT IN ALMOST CONTINUAL ANGER EVEN TOWARD THE 

PEOPLE I LOVE MOST.  IT IS NOT NECESSARILY A SIN TO BE 

ANGRY.  IN FACT, WE SHOULD BE ANGRY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT 

MAKE GOD ANGRY.  ANGER BECOMES SIN WHEN IT IS NOT 

QUENCHED.  WE ARE NOT TO LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON OUR ANGER.  

WE ARE NOT TO HARBOR ANGER.  HARBORED ANGER WILL PRODUCE A 

DEEP STRONG ROOT OF BITTERNESS.  WE ARE TO BE QUICK TO 

HEAR AND SLOW TO SPEAK: QUICK TO FORGIVE, QUICK TO LOVE, 

AND SLOW TO ANGER.  I SEEM TO HAVE IT ALL BACKWARDS.  WILL 

YOU PRAY FOR ME?

Amos 2:4  PG 778

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, 

and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] 

thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, 

and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused 

them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

EVEN JUDAH WAS GOING TO BE JUDGED BY GOD FOR THIS.  EVEN 

WHEN JUDAH WAS JUDGED IT WAS NOT AGAINST THE LAW IN JUDAH 

TO DISPLAY THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN ANY CLASSROOM IN JUDAH.  

IS THERE ANY HOPE LEFT FOR AMERICA?  HOW CAN THIS NATION 

SO BLESSED BY GOD, SO UTTERLY HAVE REJECTED THE LAW OF THE 

LORD?  ONLY BY WIMPY CHRISTIAN COMPLACENCY.  LOVE, LOVE, 

LOVE THEY SAY.  I SAY GUTLESS BULLSHIT.  LOVE TAKES 

COURAGE.  IT WAS A MESSAGE OF LOVE WHEN JESUS, TO THEIR 

FACES, TOLD THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES THAT THEY WERE 

HYPOCRITES, A BUNCH OF SNAKES.  CHRISTIANS MUST RISE UP IN 

BOLDNESS AND CALL THIS NATION TO REPENTANCE.  THE LIES 

GLORIFYING SODOMY AND INFANTICIDE MUST BE BOLDLY EXPOSED.  

THE LIES GLORIFYING GLOBAL ANTICHRIST GOVERNMENT MUST BE 

BOLDLY EXPOSED.  THE LIES OF A GLOBAL ANTICHRIST ECONOMIC 

SYSTEM MUSTS BE BOLDLY EXPOSED.  THE LIES OF A NEW AGE 

ANTICHRIST SPIRITUALISM AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM MUST BE 

BOLDLY EXPOSED.



Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he 

revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSE IN AMOS.  SURELY THE LORD 

GOD WILL DO NOTHING, BUT HE REVEALETH HIS SECRET UNTO HIS 

SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.



HEAR THIS - DAVID WILKERSON - A MIGHTY PROPHET OF GOD IN 

OUR TIME, HAS HEARD GOD REVEAL HIS SECRET REGARDING 

AMERICA.  YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT BUT YOU MUST BE TOLD.  

AMERICA IS GOING TO GO UP IN SMOKE.  RUSSIA WILL LAUNCH A 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK FROM WHICH AMERICA WILL NOT 

SURVIVE.  IF YOU ARE NOT READY, GET READY.  GOD'S SECRET 

HAS BEEN REVEALED TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.  DON'T 

FEAR - GET RIGHT WITH GOD.  YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST IS 

ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS NOW.  TELL YOUR FAMILY.  TELL YOUR 

FRIENDS.  TELL YOUR GOVERNMENT.  GET BOLD NOW.  GET READY 

NOW.  IF YOU WILL JUST THINK LOGICALLY FOR A MOMENT, THERE 

IS LITTLE OR NO DIFFERENCE TO THE TRUE CHRISTIAN BETWEEN 

THE RAPTURE AND BEING THE TARGET OF A STRATEGIC NUCLEAR 

ATTACK.  IF YOU THINK THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 

THE RAPTURE AND STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK YOU BETTER THINK 

AGAIN IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN.



Amos 4:1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that [are] in 

the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which 

crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and 

let us drink.

HERE IS SOME OF THE MOST EARTHY LANGUAGE IN THE BIBLE.  

BASHAN WAS FAMOUS FOR ITS LUSH PASTURE LAND WHICH PRODUCED 

THE FATTEST COWS OF THE WORLD AT THAT TIME.  HERE AMOS 

SPEAKS TO THE WOMEN OF ISRAEL.  HEAR THIS YOU FAT COWS.  

YOU FAT COWS OPPRESS THE POOR.  YOU FAT COWS CRUSH THE 

NEEDY.  YOU FAT COWS ORDER YOUR HUSBANDS TO FATTEN YOU.









JUN 21   AMOS 5, 6, 7, 8, 9               PG 782 - 789



Amos 5:5-6  PG 782

But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not 

to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, 

and Beth-el shall come to nought.

Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like 

fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and [there 

be] none to quench [it] in Beth-el.

THERE IS ONLY ONE HOPE, ONLY ONE WAY TO AVOID THE 

DESTRUCTION WHICH IS COMING.  SEEK THE LORD, AND YE SHALL 

LIVE.  EVEN IF YOUR NATION IS THE TARGET OF A STRATEGIC 

NUCLEAR ATTACK FROM WHICH THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR ANYONE - 

IF YOU HAVE SOUGHT GOD AND FOUND HIM IN JESUS CHRIST, THEN 

YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.  THIS ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST 

MAKES THE EFFECT OF A NUCLEAR BLAST AND THE RAPTURE 

EXACTLY THE SAME FOR THE CHRISTIAN.  HAVE YOU SOUGHT THE 

LORD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART?  IS ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE MORE 

IMPORTANT THAN JESUS?



Amos 5:14-15  PG 783

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the 

LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have 

spoken.

Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment 

in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be 

gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

GOD LOVES US.  HE WANTS TO BLESS US.  ONLY OUR SINS 

SEPARATE US FROM GOD.  GOD IS A HOLY GOD.  SEEKING GOD 

MUST INVOLVE TURNING AWAY FROM OUR SINS.  WE DON'T HAVE 

THE POWER IN OURSELVES TO HATE EVIL AND LOVE THE GOOD.  

THIS IS WHY JESUS TOLD US THAT WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.  WE 

ARE BORN SINNERS.  IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT CONVICTS US 

OF OUR SINS AND GIVES THE POWER WE NEED TO OVERCOME OUR 

NATURAL TENDENCY TO SIN.  WE ARE BORN AGAIN WHEN WE MAKE 

JESUS CHRIST LORD OF OUR LIFE.  AT THAT POINT JESUS 

BAPTIZES US WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THE HOLY SPIRIT 

PROVIDES THE POWER WE NEED TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE AND 

MAINTAIN UNBROKEN FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD.



Amos 5:18-20  PG 783

Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end 

[is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and 

not light.

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or 

went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and 

a serpent bit him.

[Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not 

light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

WOE UNTO THOSE WHO DESIRE THE DAY OF THE LORD.  THE DAY OF 

THE LORD IS NOT FUN AND GAMES.  THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN 

SUCH EARTHQUAKES, 100 POUND HAIL STONES, TREMENDOUS 

PLAGUES, PEOPLE WILL WANT TO DIE AND NOT BE ABLE TO.  

Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and 

shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death 

shall flee from them.  AMOS' QUESTION NEEDS TO BE 

ANSWERED.  THE ETERNAL DESTINY OF YOUR SOUL WILL BE 

FINALIZED AT THE DAY OF THE LORD OR THE DAY YOU DIE WHICH 

EVER COMES FIRST.  AMOS' QUESTION DEMANDS AN ANSWER - 

WHERE IS YOUR SOUL GOING TO BE?



Amos 6:1 Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust 

in the mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the 

nations, to whom the house of Israel came!

ARE YOU AT EASE?  ARE YOU COMPLACENT?  IS YOUR GOVERNMENT 

GOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOU?  WOE TO THOSE WHO LIKE THEIR 

LIFE JUST AS IT IS.  Luke 14:26 If any [man] come to me, 

and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and 

children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life 

also, he cannot be my disciple.   Luke 16:13  No servant 

can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, 

and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and 

despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.



Amos 8:11-12  PG 786

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will 

send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a 

thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north 

even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the 

word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].

IN OUR LAND TODAY ARE WE TOO EXPERIENCING A FAMINE FOR THE 

WORD OF GOD?  THERE IS COMING A TIME WHEN IT WILL BE HARD 

TO FIND A COPY OF THE WORD OF GOD.  THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO 

MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE.  IT IS MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO MEMORIZE 

KING JAMES VERSION.  WE NEED TO BE GETTING AS MUCH OF THE 

WORD OF GOD STORED SECURELY IN OUR MINDS BEFORE THE FAMINE 

OCCURS WHICH AMOS TALKS ABOUT HERE.



Amos 9:13-15   PG 788

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman 

shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him 

that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, 

and all the hills shall melt.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of 

Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit 

[them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine 

thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit 

of them.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no 

more be pulled up out of their land which I have given 

them, saith the LORD thy God.

ISRAEL WOULD BE JUDGED.  GOD NEVER DID FORSAKE THEM.  

AFTER CAPTIVITY, PERSECUTION, AND DISPERSION GOD PROMISED 

THAT HE WOULD BRING THEM BACK TO THEIR HOMELAND AGAIN.  WE 

ARE WITNESSING THE REGATHERING.  GOD IS DOING A GREAT WORK 

IN ISRAEL THAT IS NOT BEING REPORTED IN OUR MEDIA.  ISRAEL 

IS HOME AGAIN.  GOD WILL NOT LET THEM BE REMOVED AGAIN.







JUN 22  AMOS 7. 2 KINGS 14 & 15. 2 CHRON 26 PG 788 - 790



Amos 7:12-13  PG 789

Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee 

away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and 

prophesy there:

But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it [is] 

the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.

AMAZIAH THE HIGH PRIEST TOLD AMOS TO GET OUT OF TOWN.  

THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH THAT GOD TOLD AMOS TO 

GIVE THEM.  PREACHERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS HAVE ALWAYS 

EXPERIENCED THIS TREATMENT.  IN THE LAST DAYS THEY WILL 

HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS HAVING ITCHING EARS.  IF YOUR 

PREACHER DOESN'T TICKLE YOUR EARS AND TRIES TO GIVE YOU 

THE HARD TRUTH THAT GOD IS A HOLY GOD AND REQUIRES 

HOLINESS FROM US HE WILL BE TOLD GET OUT.



Amos 7:14-15  PG 789

Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no 

prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an 

herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD 

said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

AMOS TELLS THE HIGH PRIEST THAT HE IS JUST A SHEPHERD.  

THE LORD TOLD HIM WHERE HE HAD TO GO AND WHAT HE HAD TO 

SAY.  THIS IS WHAT THE PREACHER MUST TELL THOSE WHO DO NOT 

WANT TO HEAR THE SOBERING TRUTH THAT JUDGMENT AWAITS THOSE 

WHO WILL NOT CHOOSE GOD'S WAYS.  MOST PEOPLE WANT THE 

PREACHER TO EXCUSE THEIR SINS.  EVERY YEAR MORE AND MORE 

PREACHERS GET MORE POLISHED IN DELIVERING SERMONS TO 

EXCUSE AND COVER SINS.  GOD HOLDS THE PREACHER RESPONSIBLE 

TO HIM.  THE PREACHER AND THE PARENT MUST GET THEIR 

MARCHING ORDERS FROM GOD AND FAITHFULLY PREACH 

RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, AND JUDGMENT ALONG WITH LOVE AND 

MERCY.



II Kings 15:12   PG 789

This [was] the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, 

saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto 

the fourth [generation]. And so it came to pass.

ANOTHER ONE OF OVER 2000 FULFILLED PROPHETIC PREDICTIONS.  

THE PROPHECIES GIVEN IN THE BIBLE WILL COME TO PASS WITH 

100% ACCURACY.  WITH THE WAY WE ARE SEEING PROPHECIES 

FULFILLED NOW THAT ISRAEL HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR 

HOMELAND WE NEED TO PAY CLOSER ATTENTION THAN EVER TO THE 

PROPHECIES REGARDING THE END TIMES.

II Chronicles 26:16  But when he was strong, his heart was 

lifted up to [his] destruction: for he transgressed 

against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the 

LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

WATCH OUT FOR PRIDE.  UZZIAH WAS A GOOD KING WHO WAS 

BLESSED.  AS HE PROSPERED HE FORGOT THAT IT WAS GOD WHO 

WAS MAKING HIM PROSPEROUS.  PRIDE IS A DANGEROUS SIN.  HE 

WAS GOING TO OFFER HIS OWN INCENSE.  THE PRIESTS TOLD HIM 

IT WAS WRONG AND HE GOT ANGRY AND WAS GOING TO DO IT 

ANYHOW.  HE CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE WITH LEPROSY AND WAS 

SEPARATED FROM THE TEMPLE AND HIS OFFICE AS KING UNTIL HE 

DIED.









JUN 23  ISAIAH 1, 2, 3, 5                   PG 791 - 798



Isaiah 1:1   PG 791

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw 

concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, 

Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

THIS ACCURATELY FIXES THE TIME THAT GOD SENT ISAIAH TO 

SPEAK THE WORD OF THE LORD TO JUDAH AT 800 - 730 BC.



Isaiah 1:2   PG 791

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath 

spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they 

have rebelled against me.

GOD WAS GRIEVING OVER JUDAH'S REJECTION OF HIM AS A FATHER 

GRIEVES OVER HIS CHILDREN WHEN THEY REBEL AGAINST HIM.  I 

KNOW OF THIS DEEP GNAWING RELENTLESS PAIN THAT GOD 

DESCRIBES REGARDING JUDAH'S REJECTION OF HIM.



Isaiah 1:3   PG 791

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: 

[but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

GOD HAD PROVIDED FOR AND PROTECTED JUDAH.  IN JUDAH'S 

PROSPERITY SHE FORGOT THAT IT WAS GOD WHO WAS PROVIDING 

HER PROSPERITY.  EVEN DUMB ANIMALS KNOW THAT THEIR MASTER 

PROVIDES FOR THEM.  IT IS WE HUMANS WHO FORGET THAT THE 

LORD IS THE SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT.  THE 

NATURAL HUMAN TENDENCY IS FOR US TO FORGET GOD WHEN THINGS 

ARE GOING WELL AND ONLY REMEMBER TO GO TO HIM WHEN WE ARE 

IN TROUBLE.



Isaiah 1:15-17  PG 793

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes 

from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: 

your hands are full of blood.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings 

from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, 

judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

THIS IS A SERIOUS WORD.  THERE COMES A TIME WHEN GOD SAYS 

HE WILL NOT HEAR US WHEN WE PRAY TO HIM.  WHAT COULD BE 

WORSE THAN TO THINK GOD WOULD NOT HEAR US WHEN WE CALL TO 

HIM?  ISAIAH TELLS THEM THAT REPENTANCE IS THE KEY.  IF WE 

ARE TO BE HEARD BY GOD WE MUST AGREE WITH GOD REGARDING 

OUR SINS.  WE MUST LEARN TO DO GOOD, RELIEVE THE 

OPPRESSED, CARE FOR THE FATHERLESS, AND FOR THE WIDOW.



Isaiah 1:23   PG 793

Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: 

every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they 

judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the 

widow come unto them.

DOES THIS DESCRIBE OUR LAND TODAY?  DO OUR RULERS REBEL 

AGAINST GOD?  DO OUR LAWMAKERS AND JUDGES TAKE BRIBES?  DO 

OUR COURTS PROVIDE JUSTICE FOR THE RICH AND OPPRESSION FOR 

THE POOR?



Isaiah 2:10-12  PG 794

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear 

of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the 

haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone 

shall be exalted in that day.

For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every 

[one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that 

is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

AT THE TIME OF THE DAY OF THE LORD THE PROUD AND THE 

MIGHTY WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN.  THEY WILL SEEK TO HIDE IN 

THE ROCKS AND EVEN SEEK TO DIE BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE.  

WE NEED TO HUMBLE OURSELVES AND SUBMIT TO GOD BEFORE HIS 

RETURN OTHERWISE IT WILL BE TOO LATE.  HIS COMING MAY BE 

VERY SOON.  WE NEED TO BE READY.  ARE YOU READY?



Isaiah 3:9-10  PG 799

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; 

and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. 

Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto 

themselves.

Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with 

him]: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

WE HAVE THIS HERE TODAY TOO.  THEY DECLARE THEIR SIN AS 

SODOM.  THE HOMOSEXUALS BLATANTLY AND OPENLY DEMONSTRATE 

THEIR SIN AND ARE DEMANDING SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.  DO YOU 

KNOW THAT THERE NEVER HAS BEEN A SOCIETY IN HISTORY THAT 

WAS NOT SUDDENLY DESTROYED WHEN HOMOSEXUALS IN THAT 

SOCIETY OPENLY AND BLATANTLY PARADED THEIR SIN?



Isaiah 3:12  PG 795

[As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and 

women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee 

cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

YOUNG PEOPLE JOIN LAWLESS GANGS, INTIMIDATING ELDERLY 

PEOPLE WITH NO REGARD FOR LIFE OR LAW.

Isaiah 5:8    PG 796

Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay field 

to field, till [there be] no place, that they may be 

placed alone in the midst of the earth!

GREED IS A CRUEL MASTER AND ITS SLAVE DOES NOT EVER FIND 

JOY.  ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD WAS ASKED HOW 

MUCH MONEY WAS ENOUGH.  HE RESPONDED A LITTLE MORE THAN 

WHAT I HAVE GOT.  CAN YOU SEE WHAT A TRAP HE IS IN.  WE 

NEED TO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE.  EVERYTHING WE OWN 

TAKES OUR TIME.  WE END UP BECOMING SLAVES TO OUR 

POSSESSIONS.



Isaiah 5:15-16  PG 797

And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man 

shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be 

humbled:

But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and 

God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

IN THE DAY OF THE LORD - GOD WILL BE EXULTED.  THERE WILL 

BE NO PLACE FOR THE PRIDE OF ANYONE.



Isaiah 5:20-22  PG 797

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put 

darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put 

bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and 

prudent in their own sight!

Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of 

strength to mingle strong drink:

WOE - GRIEF, REGRET, DISTRESS, LAMENTABLY BAD, DEEP 

SUFFERING, AFFLICTION.  THIS IS WHAT IS COMING TO THOSE 

WHO CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL.  SODOMY IS SIN, NOT AN 

ALTERNATE LIFESTYLE.  WHAT GOD SAYS IS RIGHT NO MATTER 

WHAT YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE THINKS.  ULTIMATELY IT IS WOE FOR 

THOSE WHO DO NOT AGREE WITH GOD.  YOU CAN APPARENTLY GET 

AWAY WITH IT FOR A TIME BUT ULTIMATELY IT IS WOE.  ARE YOU 

WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES OR DO YOU GET YOUR WISDOM FROM GOD?  

IS WHAT GOD SAID IMPORTANT TO YOU?











JUN 24  ISAIAH 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6             PG 798 - 803



Isaiah 5:24-25  PG 798

Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame 

consumeth the chaff, [so] their root shall be as 

rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because 

they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and 

despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his 

people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, 

and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and 

their carcases [were] torn in the midst of the streets. 

For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand 

[is] stretched out still.

GOD'S JUDGMENT WILL BE SEVERE.  JUDAH HAS PUSHED GOD'S 

PATIENCE TO THE LIMIT.  GOD'S ANGER IS THE MOST FEARSOME 

AND AWESOME THING IN THE UNIVERSE.  INTELLIGENCE WITHOUT 

WISDOM IS NOT WORTH MUCH.  KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT WISDOM IS NOT 

WORTH MUCH.  HERE IS A FORM OF WISDOM - LEARN AND DO THOSE 

THINGS WHICH PLEASE AND GLORIFY GOD; LEARN AND AVOID THOSE 

THINGS WHICH MAKE GOD ANGRY.  THE SOURCE OF JUDAH'S 

PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE INTELLIGENT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE 

PEOPLE EVERYWHERE WHO LACK TRUE WISDOM.  THEY HAVE CAST 

AWAY THE LAW OF THE LORD AND DESPISED THE WORD OF THE HOLY 

ONE OF ISRAEL.  WILL YOU SEEK WISDOM?  WILL YOU STUDY 

GOD'S WORD?

GOD WANTS TO BLESS YOU.  WE TIE HIS HANDS WHEN WE REJECT 

HIS WORD?  OUR HUMAN WISDOM IS NOT TRUE WISDOM.  WE NEED 

GOD'S WISDOM MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.  IT IS ONLY 

AVAILABLE IN THE BIBLE.



Isaiah 1:27-28  PG 798

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts 

with righteousness.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the 

sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the 

LORD shall be consumed.

AFTER THE AWESOME FURY OF GOD'S JUDGMENT, JUDAH WILL BE 

REDEEMED.  BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, GOD JUDGES RIGHTEOUSLY.  

SIN DOES NOT GO UNPUNISHED.  THE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE 

REDEEMED AND THOSE WHO FORSAKE THE LORD WILL BE CONSUMED 

IN DESTRUCTION.  NOW HEAR THE GOOD NEWS.  JESUS HAS PAID 

THE FULL PENALTY FOR YOUR SINS AND MY SINS AND THE SINS OF 

THE WHOLE WORLD.  JESUS OFFERS US RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A FREE 

GIFT.  WILL YOU RECEIVE, KEEP, NOURISH AND CHERISH THIS 

GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OR WILL YOU FORSAKE THE LORD?  YOU 

CAN'T FOOL GOD.



Isaiah 2:22   PG 799

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for 

wherein is he to be accounted of?

WHO DO YOU TRUST?  DON'T TRUST YOURSELF.  DON'T TRUST ANY 

HUMAN BEING WITH YOUR SOUL.  IT IS ONLY THE LORD JESUS 

CHRIST, GOD ALMIGHTY WHO CAN BE TRUSTED WITH YOUR SOUL.



Isaiah 1:18-20  PG 799-800

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: 

though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as 

snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as 

wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of 

the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the 

sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.  WILL YOU SEE HIS LOVE AND 

DESIRE TO BLESS YOU?  HE SAYS COME NOW - LET US REASON 

TOGETHER.  LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.  GOD SAYS LET ME HELP YOU 

FIGURE OUT WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.  NO MATTER HOW BAD 

AND BLOODY YOUR SINS MAY BE, GOD WANTS TO MAKE YOU AS 

THOUGH YOU HAD NEVER SINNED.  GOD CAN DO THAT.  YOU CAN'T 

DO THAT.  IT IS ONLY JESUS WHO HAS EVER LIVED A LIFE 

WITHOUT SIN.  WE HAVE ALL SINNED.  NONE OF US CAN EVER 

MAKE UP FOR ANY SIN.  IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HOW GREAT 

YOUR SIN MAY BE.  IN FACT JESUS POINTED OUT THAT THE ONE 

WHO HAS BEEN FORGIVEN MUCH GENERALLY LOVES GOD MORE THAN 

THE SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT BEEN FORGIVEN MUCH.  THOUGH YOUR 

SINS BE AS SCARLET THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH 

THEY BE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL.  GOD 

FORGIVES AND FORGETS JUST AS IF I'D NEVER SINNED.  COME 

NOW TO JESUS.  BE FORGIVEN.  BE JUSTIFIED BY GOD.



Isaiah 2:2-5  PG 800

And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the 

mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the 

top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the 

hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go 

up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of 

Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk 

in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and 

the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke 

many people: and they shall beat their swords into 

plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation 

shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they 

learn war any more.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of 

the LORD.

IN THE LAST DAYS WHEN THE LORD RETURNS AT THE END OF THE 7 

YEARS OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION, JESUS WILL ANNIHILATE THE 

ARMIES OF ANTICHRIST AND ALL OF THE UNRIGHTEOUS AND LEAD 

THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN BACK TO EARTH TO SET UP HIS 

MILLENNIAL KINGDOM.  JESUS WILL SET UP HIS KINGDOM IN 

JERUSALEM.  HE WILL RULE THE WORLD WITH A ROD OF IRON.  

THERE WILL BE NO MORE WARS.  THERE WILL BE NO MORE 

VIOLENCE.  EVERYONE WILL KNOW AND FOLLOW THE WAYS OF THE 

LORD.  IT WILL BE FANTASTIC JOYFUL PEACE AND PROSPERITY 

FOR EVERYONE.



II Kings 15:19  PG 801

[And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and 

Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his 

hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

MANAHEM LEVIED HEAVY TAXES ON THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WHICH 

HE USED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF ASSYRIA TO STOP PUL 

FROM ATTACKING ISRAEL.  THIS FIRMED UP HIS HOLD ON ISRAEL.



II Kings 15:24-25  PG 801

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: 

he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of 

Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired 

against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of 

the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty 

men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in 

his room.

MANAHEM WAS NEITHER A GOOD KING OR A POPULAR KING.  PEKAH 

USED HIS TRUSTED POSITION AS A CAPTAIN OF MANAHEM TO 

ASSASSINATE HIM AND BECAME KING AFTER THE ASSASSINATION.



II Kings 15:28   PG 801

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD: 

he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of 

Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

PEKAH SERVED HIMSELF, NOT THE LORD.  HE WAS AN EVIL KING.



II Chronicles 27:2  PG 801

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the 

LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit 

he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people 

did yet corruptly.

OVER IN JUDAH UZZIAH'S SON, JOTHAM, WAS A GOOD KING.



Isaiah 6:1-10  PG 802

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord 

sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train 

filled the temple.

Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with 

twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his 

feet, and with twain he did fly.

And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, 

[is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his 

glory.

And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that 

cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] 

a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a 

people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, 

the LORD of hosts.

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal 

in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off 

the altar:

And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath 

touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and 

thy sin purged.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I 

send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; 

send me.

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but 

understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears 

heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, 

and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, 

and convert, and be healed.

IN THE YEAR KING UZZIAH DIED ISAIAH HAS THE VISION OF THE 

LORD IN HIS TEMPLE WHICH GIVES HIM HIS MISSION OF 

PREACHING REPENTANCE TO THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH.  ISAIAH COULD 

NOT ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY AND MAJESTY OF THE LORD 

ON HIS THRONE.  THE LORD IS SURROUNDED BY MIGHTY SERAPHIM 

ANGELS WHO PROCLAIM - HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD, THE 

WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY.  ISAIAH WAS FILLED WITH 

AWE, FEAR, AND AWARENESS OF HIS OWN CORRUPTION AT THE 

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS AS HIS SPIRIT WITNESSED THE VISION OF 

THE LORD ON HIS THRONE.  HERE IS TRUE CONVICTION.  ISAIAH 

IS OVERWHELMED BY CONCERN OVER WHAT HE IS.  HIS CONCERN IS 

NOT SO MUCH WHAT HE HAS DONE OR WHAT HE HAS NOT DONE.  

WHAT A PERSON IS, IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT WHAT YOU HAVE 

DONE.  GOD IS MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN HIS SERVANTS, THAN 

IN WHAT THEY DO FOR HIM.  HOLINESS OF LIFE IS MUCH MORE 

IMPORTANT THAN HOLINESS OF DOCTRINE.  DOING RIGHT IS 

INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT THAN TALK ABOUT IT.  THE ANGEL 

FLIES WITH A HOT COAL IN TONGS FROM THE FIRE BEFORE THE 

LORD'S ALTER AND TOUCHES ISAIAH'S LIPS TO ASSURE HIM THAT 

HIS UNCLEANNESS WAS GOING TO BE CLEANSED BY GOD.  THIS IS 

THE ONLY WAY ANY SINS CAN BE CLEANSED.  GOD HAS TO DO IT 

FOR US.  WE CANNOT CLEANSE OURSELVES.  WHEN HE HEARS GOD 

SAY, "WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US?", ISAIAH 

IMMEDIATELY SAYS - HERE I AM, SEND ME.  ISAIAH GOT HIS 

MARCHING ORDERS FROM GOD.  NO WONDER HE HAD SUCH BOLDNESS 

BEFORE THE KINGS AND PRIESTS WHERE HE DELIVERED THE HARD 

MESSAGES THAT THEY DID NOT WANT TO HEAR.



II Chronicles 27:5-6  PG 803

He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and 

prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him 

the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten 

thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So 

much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the 

second year, and the third.

So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways 

before the LORD his God.

JOTHAM WAS A GOOD KING AND SOUGHT THE LORD AND DID NOT GET 

LIFTED UP WITH PRIDE AS HIS FATHER UZZIAH HAD DONE WHEN 

THE LORD BLESSED HIM.  THEREFORE THE LORD CONTINUED TO 

BLESS UZZIAH.









JUN 25  MICAH  1, 2                         PG 803 - 806



Micah 2:1   PG 805

Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their 

beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because 

it is in the power of their hand.

ARE YOU CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE?  WE MUST BE CONTENT 

WITH WHAT WE HAVE.  WE NEED TO THANK GO FOR WHAT WE HAVE.  

IF WE WANT SOMETHING WE SHOULD ASK GOD FOR IT AND WORK FOR 

IT.  WHEN YOU SEE OTHERS WHO HAVE DESIRABLE THINGS DO YOU 

PRAISE GOD FOR BLESSING THEM?  ARE YOU JEALOUS OF ANYONE?  

THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE.



Micah 2:6   PG 806

Prophesy ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy: they 

shall not prophesy to them, [that] they shall not take 

shame.

PROPHETS PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS.  PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO HAVE 

THEIR SINS EXPOSED.  TO EXPOSE THE SINS OF OTHERS IS ALL 

RIGHT.  BUT WHAT IF THE PROPHET TELLS YOU YOUR SINS?  YOU 

PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.  IN OUR LAND TODAY THE 

FAITHFUL BIBLE TEACHING OF THE PARENTS IS REGARDED AS 

MENTAL ABUSE OF THE CHILDREN.  PREACHING RIGHTEOUSNESS IS 

NEVER ABUSE BUT AN ACT OF LOVE.  PREACHING THE TRUTH OF 

THE DANGER OF JUDGMENT IS NEVER ABUSE BUT AN ACT OF LOVE.  

THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO BODY WANTS TO HEAR IT.  DO NOT TELL 

ME ABOUT THESE THINGS THEY SAY?  WHAT YOU SAY FRIGHTENS ME 

THEY SAY?  THAT IS WHY THE TRUTH OF A POST TRIBULATION 

RAPTURE HAS NOT BEEN PREACHED NOW FOR ALMOST 4 

GENERATIONS.  HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL LISTEN WHEN THE 

POSSIBILITY OF RUSSIA STARTING A STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WAR IS 

DISCUSSED?



Micah 2:7   PG 806

O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the spirit 

of the LORD straitened? [are] these his doings? do not my 

words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

IT IS ALWAYS TRUE THAT GOD'S WORDS ARE ACCEPTABLE WITH AND 

DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO WALK UPRIGHTLY.  BUT TO THOSE WHO SIN 

THEY ARE WORDS OF CONDEMNATION AND WORDS THAT THEY DO NOT 

WANT TO HEAR.



Micah 2:11   PG 806

If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, 

[saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong 

drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

PEOPLE ARE STILL FLOCKING TO THE FALSE LYING PROPHETS WHO 

WILL TELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.







JUN 26  MICAH  3, 4                         PG 806 - 810



Micah 3:1-2   PG 806

And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye 

princes of the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to 

know judgment?

Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their 

skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

WHERE HAS SOUND JUDGMENT GONE IN OUR LAND?  HOW IS IT THAT 

OUR LEADERS HATE THE GOOD AND LOVE THE EVIL?



Micah 3:4   PG 807

Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear 

them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, 

as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE FRIGHTENING THAN THIS?  WHEN 

YOU PRAY DO YOU KNOW GOD HEARS YOU?  WHAT COMFORT THERE IS 

IN PRAYER.  WHAT IF YOU WANTED TO PRAY AND GOD'S 

REPRESENTATIVE TOLD YOU THAT GOD WOULD NOT HEAR YOU?



Micah 3:8  PG 807

But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, 

and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his 

transgression, and to Israel his sin.

MICAH IS FULL OF THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THIS IS 

WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES.  HE GIVES US POWER, AND GOOD 

JUDGMENT, AND UNDERSTANDING.  HE CONVICTS US OF OUR SINS.  

HE DOES NOT CONDEMN US.  WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 

CONVICTION AND CONDEMNATION?



Micah 4:2-5  PG 808

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go 

up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the 

God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we 

will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of 

Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong 

nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into 

plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation 

shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall 

they learn war any more.

But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his 

fig tree; and none shall make [them] afraid: for the mouth 

of the LORD of hosts hath spoken [it].

For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, 

and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever 

and ever.

THIS IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO ISAIAH'S MESSAGE REGARDING THE 

MILLENNIAL KINGDOM WHICH JESUS WILL SET UP IN JERUSALEM.  

EVERY MAN SHALL HAVE HIS OWN WORK AND PROVISION IN THE 

KINGDOM.  THERE SHALL BE NOTHING TO FEAR FOR ANYONE IN THE 

KINGDOM.





Micah 4:10   PG 808

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, 

like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out 

of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou 

shalt go [even] to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; 

there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine 

enemies.

JUDAH WOULD GO INTO PAINFUL CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON.  THE 

LORD WOULD NOT LEAVE THEM THERE AND WOULD DELIVER THEM 

FROM THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY.



Micah 5:2   PG 809

But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little 

among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he 

come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose 

goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.

IT IS THE PROPHET MICAH WHO MADE IT CLEAR THAT JESUS WHO 

WAS FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING, THE LORD WOULD BE BORN 

IN BETHLEHEM.



Micah 5:15   PG 810

And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the 

heathen, such as they have not heard.

OLD TESTAMENT WAS LAW AND THE NEW TESTAMENT IS GRACE.  

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?  HAVE WE SEEN GRACE IN THE OLD 

TESTAMENT?  JUST AS THERE WAS GRACE UNDER THE LAW SO THERE 

IS LAW UNDER GRACE.  GOD IS A HOLY GOD AND WE NEED TO BE 

ABOUT THE WORK OF SANCTIFICATION WHICH IS GROWTH IN GRACE.  

THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES WILL BE FULFILLED AND THE 

ANTI-CHRIST WILL WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS FOR 7 YEARS OF 

GREAT TRIBULATION.  WE NEED TO BE DILIGENT AS WE LOOK 

FORWARD AND PREPARE FOR THE LORD'S RETURN.











JUN 27  MICAH  6, 7                         PG 810 - 813



Micah 6:3  PG 810

O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have 

I wearied thee? testify against me.

GOD ASKS WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?  IS THERE ANY GOOD 

REASON?  OF COURSE THERE IS NO GOOD REASON.



Micah 6:8   PG 811

He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth 

the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love 

mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MEMORY VERSE FROM MICAH.  IT IS SUMMED 

UP SO SIMPLY.  EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT GOD REQUIRES FROM 

US.  TO DO JUSTLY - TO LOVE MERCY - TO WALK HUMBLY WITH 

GOD.



Micah 7:2-3  PG 812

The good [man] is perished out of the earth: and [there 

is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for 

blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the 

prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and 

the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so 

they wrap it up.

MICAH MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSING THE UNRIGHTEOUS CONDITIONS IN 

JUDAH.  IT APPLIES TO OUR LAND JUST AS WELL TODAY.  OUR 

RULERS AND JUDGES ARE ON THE TAKE.  THE WEALTHY AND 

POWERFUL OPPRESS THE POOR.  THE RIGHTEOUS ARE RIDICULED AS 

EXTREME RELIGIOUS FANATICS.



Micah 7:5-7  PG 812

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a 

guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in 

thy bosom.

For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth 

up against her mother, the daughter in law against her 

mother in law; a man's enemies [are] the men of his own 

house.

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the 

God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

THESE TIMES ARE COMING WHEN DISCRETION WILL BE REQUIRED OF 

THOSE WHO REALLY ARE CHRISTIANS.  EVEN MEMBERS OF YOUR OWN 

FAMILY MAY TURN AGAINST YOU FOR FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST 

INSTEAD OF THE ANTI-CHRIST.  THE ANSWER IS IN VERSE 7.  

LOOK UNTO THE LORD.  JESUS THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION IS 

COMING AGAIN SOON.  LET GOD HEAR YOUR PRAYERS.  TRUST GOD 

NOT ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE.



Micah 7:15-16  PG 813

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of 

Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous [things].

The nations shall see and be confounded at all their 

might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, 

their ears shall be deaf.

IN THE END TIMES GOD WILL AGAIN MIRACULOUSLY DELIVER AND 

PROTECT ISRAEL.  OUR GENERATION IS WITNESSING TREMENDOUS 

MIRACLES OF DELIVERANCE AND PROTECTION OF ISRAEL.  THERE 

IS A GENERAL NEWS BLACKOUT REGARDING THESE MIRACLES, BUT 

THEY ARE SO SPECTACULAR THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH TOO 

HARD TO SEE THEM.  BIGGER ONES ARE COMING.  NO NATION CAN 

DEFEAT THE ARMY OF ISRAEL AGAIN BECAUSE GOD IS FIGHTING 

FOR THEM.





Micah 7:18-19  PG 813

Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, 

and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his 

heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he 

delighteth [in] mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he 

will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their 

sins into the depths of the sea.

GOD IS INFINITE IN HIS MERCY.  GOD DOES NOT STAY ANGRY.  

GOD DELIGHTS TO BE MERCIFUL.  WHEN WE CONFESS OUR SINS GOD 

FORGETS THEM AND IT IS AS THOUGH WE NEVER COMMITTED THE 

SIN.



JUN 28  2 KINGS 15 - 17  2 CHRON. 28        PG 813 - 815



II Kings 15:29   PG 813

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser 

king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and 

Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, 

all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to 

Assyria.

I Chronicles 5:25-26  PG 814

And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, 

and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the 

land, whom God destroyed before them.

And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of 

Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of 

Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, 

and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and 

brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the 

river Gozan, unto this day.

THE PEOPLE DID NOT REPENT AT THE MESSAGE GOD GAVE THEM BY 

THE PROPHETS AND THEREFORE THEY ARE BEING TAKEN CAPTIVE TO 

BABYLON.  GOD'S PROPHETS ARE ALWAYS 100% ACCURATE.  IT IS 

FOOLISH NOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THEM.



II Kings 15:38   PG 814

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his 

fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son 

reigned in his stead.

II Chronicles 28:2-3  PG 814

For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made 

also molten images for Baalim.

Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of 

Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the 

abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out 

before the children of Israel.

JOTHAM WAS THE LAST OF THE GOOD KINGS.  HE WAS A GOOD KING 

BUT NOT A GOOD FATHER.  HE DID NOT TELL HIS SON AHAZ TO 

FEAR THE LORD AND DISCIPLINE HIM TO WALK IN THE WAYS OF

THE LORD.  AHAZ EVEN SACRIFICED HIS CHILDREN TO MOLECH.









JUN 29  ISAIAH 7, 8, 9                      PG 815 - 819



Isaiah 7:2-3  PG 815

And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is 

confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the 

heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved 

with the wind.

Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, 

thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit 

of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;

ISRAEL WAS JOINING FORCES WITH SYRIA TO ATTACK JUDAH.  A 

TOTALLY HOPELESS SITUATION FOR JUDAH.



Isaiah 7:7  PG 815

Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall 

it come to pass.

GOD DID NOT LET IT HAPPEN YET.  THINGS CANNOT HAPPEN IF 

GOD DOES NOT PERMIT IT.  JUDAH WAS OUTMANNED AND OUTGUNNED 

1000 TO 1 BUT GOD DID NOT LET IT HAPPEN.  THIS SHOULD HAVE 

GOTTEN AHAZ AND JUDAH'S ATTENTION BUT IT DID NOT.



Isaiah 7:10-13  PG 816

Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,

Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the 

depth, or in the height above.

But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the 

LORD.

And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a 

small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God 

also?

ISAIAH TELLS AHAZ TO ASK GOD FOR ANY SIGN SO THAT HE WOULD 

BE ABLE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD WAS GOING TO DELIVER JUDAH.  

HYPOCRITE KING AHAZ SAYS HE WILL NOT ASK FOR A SIGN.  AHAZ 

WAS GIVING ISAIAH TROUBLE AND ISAIAH TELLS HIM HE CAN'T 

GIVE GOD A HARD TIME.  GOD WOULD GIVE THE SIGN HIMSELF.



Isaiah 7:14    PG 816

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, 

a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call 

his name Immanuel.

THE GREAT SIGN THAT GOD GIVES IS THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF 

JESUS.  WATCH OUT FOR SOME TRANSLATIONS HERE.  THE REVISED 

STANDARD VERSION HAS TRANSLATED VIRGIN AS YOUNG WOMAN.  

THAT WOULD NOT BE MUCH OF A SIGN WOULD IT?   THE HEBREW 

WORD FOR VIRGIN IS ALMAH AND THAT IS THE WORD USED IN THIS 

VERSE.  EMMANUEL - GOD WITH US.



Isaiah 8:13-14  PG 817

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] 

your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.

And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of 

stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of 

Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of 

Jerusalem.

FEAR GOD AND NOTHING OR NO ONE ELSE.  GOD IS THE ONLY 

TRUSTWORTHY PROTECTOR AND PROVIDER.



Isaiah 8:15-16  PG 817

And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be 

broken, and be snared, and be taken.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

THE REASON FOR STUMBLING AND FALLING IN LIFE IS LACK OF 

KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD.  GOD TOLD ISAIAH TO STOP 

PREACHING TO JUDAH IN GENERAL.  ISAIAH WAS TOLD TO TAKE 

GODS WORD TO GOD'S PEOPLE AND ONLY SHARE IT WITH GOD'S 

DISCIPLES.  SUCH A TIME MAY BE COMING FOR US AS WELL.  

HAVE YOU SEALED UP GOD'S LAW AND TESTIMONY IN YOUR HEART?



Isaiah 8:19-20  PG 818

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have 

familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that 

mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the 

living to the dead?

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not 

according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no 

light in them.

AS IT WAS FOR JUDAH JUST BEFORE THEY WERE TO EXPERIENCE 

GOD'S FIERY WRATH OF JUDGMENT SO IT IS FOR US TODAY.  SEEK 

THEM THAT HAVE FAMILIAR SPIRITS - WIZARDS THAT PEEP AND 

MUTTER.  WE HAVE REPORTS OF HILLARY CLINTON BOASTING OF 

HER CONVERSATIONS WITH ELEANOR ROOSEVELT.  HOW FAR FROM 

JUDGMENT ARE WE?  WHEN WE SEE SUCH THINGS HERE IS THE 

ANSWER - TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY.  IF THEY SPEAK 

NOT ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THEY ARE IN TOTAL DARKNESS.



Isaiah 9:2  PG 818

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great 

light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, 

upon them hath the light shined.

JESUS FULFILLED THIS PROPHESY OF ISAIAH ACCORDING TO 

Matthew 4:16  The people which sat in darkness saw great 

light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of 

death light is sprung up.



Isaiah 9:6-7  PG 818

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and 

the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name 

shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The 

everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall 

be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his 

kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment 

and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal 

of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

HOW ABOUT THIS!  DOES ISAIAH GIVE US AN ACCURATE PICTURE 

OF JESUS.  REMEMBER THIS WAS WRITTEN ABOUT 750 B.C..









JUN 30  ISAIAH 10, 11, 12,    2 CHRON. 28    PG 819 - 825



Isaiah 10:1-3   PG 819 -820

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that 

write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away 

the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be 

their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the 

desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye 

flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

WHAT IS THE STATE OF LAWS AND JUSTICE IN OUR COUNTRY 

TODAY?  ARE THE LAWS AND DECREES OF OUR PRESIDENT, 

CONGRESS, AND SUPREME COURT RIGHTEOUS OR UNRIGHTEOUS?  

DOES THE POOR MAN RECEIVE JUSTICE IN OUR COURTS OR DO THE 

RICH WHO HAVE THE EXPENSIVE LAWYERS WIN OVER THE POOR?



Isaiah 10:12-13  PG 820

Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord hath 

performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, 

I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of 

Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it], 

and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the 

bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and 

I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant [man]:

GOD USED THE KING OF ASSYRIA TO JUDGE JUDAH.  THE ASSYRIAN 

KING DID NOT SEE THAT GOD HAD ANY PART IN HIS VICTORY.  

THE KING WAS PUFFED UP WITH PRIDE.  GOD DID NOT ENTER INTO 

THE KING'S EQUATION.



Isaiah 10:15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that 

heweth therewith? [or] shall the saw magnify itself 

against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake 

[itself] against them that lift it up, [or] as if the 

staff should lift up [itself, as if it were] no wood.

GOD EXPLAINS THE WISDOM OF THE PRIDE OF THE ASSYRIAN KING.  

GOD SAYS IT IS LIKE THE AX BOASTING ABOUT ALL THE WOOD IT 

CHOPPED GIVING NO THOUGHT TO THE FACT THAT THE AX COULD 

NOT MOVE LET ALONE CHOP WITHOUT IT BEING IN THE HANDS OF 

THE ONE DOING THE CHOPPING.  GOD SAYS IT IS LIKE THE SAW 

BOASTING ABOUT EVERYTHING IT HAS CUT GIVING NO THOUGHT TO 

THE FACT THAT THE SAW COULD NOT BE MOVED LET ALONE CUT 

ANYTHING WITHOUT IT BEING IN THE HANDS OF THE CUTTER. WHEN 

WE THINK RIGHT WE REALIZE THAT WE CAN NOT EVEN TAKE A 

BREATH, OUR HEARTS CANNOT MAKE A BEAT.  WE LIKE THE AX, OR 

THE SAW , OR THE ROD, OR THE STAFF CANNOT EVEN MOVE IF GOD 

DOES NOT ALLOW IT.  ALL REASONS FOR BOASTING AND PRIDE 

BREAKS DOWN WHEN YOU THINK RIGHT REGARDING WHO WE ARE AND 

WHO GOD IS.  IT IS FOOLISH TO FAIL TO GIVE GOD GLORY.  

PRIDE IS A SIGN OF FOOLISHNESS AND A LACK OF WISDOM.



Isaiah 11:1-5  PG 822

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, 

and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit 

of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and 

might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the 

LORD;

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of 

the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his 

eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and 

reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he 

shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with 

the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and 

faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

ISAIAH HERE GIVES MESSIANIC PROPHESY.  HE TELLS US THAT 

JESUS COULD TRACE HIS FAMILY TREE AND FIND HIS ROOTS IN 

JESSE WHO IS THE FATHER OF KING DAVID.  IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 

1 AND LUKE CHAPTER 3 WE FIND THAT JESUS COULD MAKE A 

LEGITIMATE CLAIM TO THE THRONE OF DAVID.  ISAIAH MAKES A 

RAPID SHIFT FROM THE BIRTH OF JESUS TO THE MILLENNIAL 

REIGN OF KING JESUS.  ONLY GOD COULD DO THE THINGS THAT 

ISAIAH TELLS US THAT JESUS WILL DO.  JUDGING WITH ABSOLUTE 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOMETHING WHICH ONLY GOD CAN DO.  WITHOUT 

THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR JUDGMENT CANNOT BE SOUND 

IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.



Isaiah 11:6-10   PG 822 - 823

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard 

shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young 

lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall 

lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones 

shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like 

the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, 

and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' 

den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: 

for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, 

as the waters cover the sea.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which 

shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the 

Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

WILL YOU HAVE A PLACE IN THE REIGN OF KING JESUS?  THINK 

ABOUT THIS GLORIOUS KINGDOM WHICH JESUS WILL ESTABLISH.  

ALL ANIMALS WILL BE GENTLE.  ALL PEOPLE WILL BE KIND AND 

GENTLE.  EVERYONE WILL TRY TO FIND WAYS TO BE A BLESSING 

TO OTHERS.  THERE WILL BE NO VIOLENCE, NO SICKNESS, NO 

DEATH.  "HIS REST SHALL BE GLORIOUS."  WILL YOU BE THERE?



Isaiah 11:11-12  PG 823

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord 

shall set his hand again the second time to recover the 

remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, 

and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from 

Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the 

islands of the sea.

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall 

assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the 

dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

JESUS SAID WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS COME TO PASS KNOW 

THAT I AM NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOOR.  WE ARE LIVING IN THE 

MOST EXCITING TIME OF ALL HUMAN HISTORY.  JESUS HAS COME 

THE FIRST TIME AS THE SPOTLESS PERFECT LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN 

FOR ALL OF OUR SINS.  HE WAS RESURRECTED AND ASCENDED INTO 

HEAVEN.  HE IS COMING BACK AGAIN.  HIS 2ND COMING IS NEAR.  

HE DOES NOT MAKE ANY SECRET 2ND COMING.  HE WILL COME 

AGAIN IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY.  WE ARE SEEING THE 

PROPHESY WHICH TELLS US WHEN TO EXPECT HIS RETURN BEING 

FULFILLED BEFORE OUR EYES RIGHT NOW IN THE 1990'S.  

ISRAEL, THE DOWN TRODDEN JEWS WHO HAVE BEEN DISPERSED AND 

SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, ARE BEING GATHERED BACK TO 

THEIR HOMELAND.  IT IS HAPPENING NOW.  THERE IS NO SECRET 

2ND COMING.  A SECRET SECOND COMING IS NOT SCRIPTURAL, IT 

IS A MYTH DESIGNED FOR THE END TIMES TO LEAD AWAY EVEN THE 

ELECT IF IT WERE POSSIBLE.  WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN IT WILL 

NOT BE IN SECRET.  IT CAN ONLY BE THE POWERFUL AND 

GLORIOUS SECOND COMING.  EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM AT HIS 

2ND COMING.  ARE YOU READY?  IF YOU ARE NOT READY IT IS 

HIGH TIME TO GET READY.



Isaiah 12:1-6  PG 823 -824

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise 

thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is 

turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust, and not be 

afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] 

song; he also is become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of 

salvation.

And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon 

his name, declare his doings among the people, make 

mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: 

this [is] known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great [is] 

the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

SOME DAY SOON THE JEWS IN ISRAEL WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO SEE 

THAT JESUS IS THE LORD JEHOVAH.  SALVATION CAN ONLY BE 

FOUND IN JESUS, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME GIVEN UNDER 

HEAVEN BY WHICH MEN CAN BE SAVED.  Acts 4:10-12 Be it 

known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that 

by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye 

crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him 

doth this man stand here before you whole.  This is the 

stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is 

become the head of the corner.  Neither is there salvation 

in any other: for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, whereby we must be saved.   NO ONE KNOWS 

THE DAY OR THE HOUR THAT THE LORD WILL RETURN.  THERE ARE 

THINGS WHICH WE WILL RECOGNIZE AS WE ARE IN THE FINAL 7 

YEARS OF GREAT TRIBULATION.  SINCE THE GREAT TRIBULATION 

WILL START SO GRADUALLY THAT NO ONE WILL KNOW WHEN THE 

GREAT TRIBULATION STARTED, THEN EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 

GREAT TRIBULATION WE WILL NOT KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR OF 

THE LORD'S 2ND COMING.  WHAT WE WILL KNOW WHEN WE REALIZE 

WE ARE IN THE FINAL 7 YEARS IS THAT IN LESS THAN 7 YEARS 

OUR KING JESUS IS COMING.  THAT IS OUR BLESSED HOPE.  THE 

PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE IS NOT OUR BLESSED HOPE.  IN FACT, 

IT IS NOT SCRIPTURAL AND IS PART OF THE END TIME STRONG 

DELUSION.  KEEP YOUR ATTENTION FOCUSED ON WHAT THE BIBLE 

ACTUALLY SAYS AND NOT WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU IT SAYS.  ALSO 

KEEP YOUR ATTENTION FOCUSED ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN 

ISRAEL.  WHEN YOU SEE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL FINALLY 

RECOGNIZING JESUS, THEIR MESSIAH, THEN YOU MAY KNOW HIS 

RETURN IS VERY NEAR INDEED.  AT HIS 2ND COMING EVERYONE 

WILL RECOGNIZE HIM.  EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM.



II Chronicles 28:6   PG 824

For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and 

twenty thousand in one day, [which were] all valiant men; 

because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

THEY WERE DEFEATED BECAUSE THEY HAD FORSAKEN THE LORD.



II Chronicles 28:8-9  PG 824

And the children of Israel carried away captive of their 

brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, 

and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the 

spoil to Samaria.

But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name [was] 

Oded: and he went out before the host that came to 

Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God 

of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered 

them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage 

[that] reacheth up unto heaven.

ISRAEL WAS TAKING THEIR BROTHERS FROM JUDAH AS SLAVES.  

THE PROPHET ODED TOLD THEM TO RETURN THEIR BROTHERS FROM 

JUDAH.  FORTUNATELY FOR BOTH ISRAEL AND JUDAH THEY DID.



II Chronicles 28:19-21  PG 825

For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of 

Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore 

against the LORD.

And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and 

distressed him, but strengthened him not.

For Ahaz took away a portion [out] of the house of the 

LORD, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the 

princes, and gave [it] unto the king of Assyria: but he 

helped him not.

AHAZ WAS USED BY GOD TO HUMBLE JUDAH.  HE WAS AN 

INSTRUMENT OF GOD BUT HE WAS EVIL.  GOD CAN USE ANYONE.   

BEING USED BY GOD DOES NOT MAKE YOU RIGHTEOUS.





























JUL 1  ISAIAH 15, 16, 17,               PG 825 - 829



Isaiah 34:2   PG 825

For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and 

[his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly 

destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

THIS PROPHESY TELLS OF THE CONDITIONS IN THE WORLD AT THE 

LORD'S SECOND COMING.  ALL NATIONS WILL HAVE TURNED 

AGAINST HIM.  THERE WILL BE A NEW WORLD ORDER, WHICH WILL 

HAVE BEEN SET UP AGAINST GOD, HEADED BY THE ANTI-CHRIST.  

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR OUR CHILDREN 

TO HAVE A COPY OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS DISPLAYED IN THEIR 

PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSROOMS?  ALMOST ALL RELIGIONS ARE GOING 

AFTER A METAPHYSICAL SPIRITUALISM.  ONLY 2 RELIGIOUS 

BELIEFS WILL NOT FIT UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE NEW AGE OF 

RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.  BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY AND ORTHODOX 

JUDAISM WILL NOT BE DUPED INTO THIS NEW AGE SPIRITUALISM.  

WHY IS THE BIBLE, THE WORLD'S GREATEST COLLECTION OF 

LITERATURE, HISTORY, AND WISDOM SO RIDICULED THROUGHOUT 

THE WORLD?  EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT DILIGENTLY STUDIED THE 

BIBLE WILL LIKELY BE SUCKED INTO THIS NEW WORLD ORDER AND 

METAPHYSICAL RELIGION.  THOSE WHO KNOW THE TRUTH WILL BE 

THOUGHT TO BE INCURABLY MENTALLY ILL.  ANTI-CHRIST WILL 

HAVE POWER TO WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS.  THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN 

SUCKED INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER WILL BELIEVE THEY ARE 

DOING YOU A FAVOR BY KILLING YOU TO PUT YOU OUT OF THE 

MISERY OF YOUR INCURABLE MENTAL ILLNESS.



Isaiah 34:4   PG 825

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the 

heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all 

their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from 

the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree.

THERE WILL BE FANTASTIC WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS AT THE 

LORD'S RETURN.  THE LORD WILL ROLL UP THE HEAVENS AS A 

SCROLL.



Isaiah 14:27   PG 826

For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall 

disannul [it]? and his hand [is] stretched out, and who 

shall turn it back?

WHEN GOD ALMIGHTY HAS PURPOSED SOMETHING, WHO CAN STOP IT?  

WHEN JESUS RETURNS NOTHING CAN STOP HIM.



Isaiah 16:5   PG 827

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall 

sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, 

and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

THE MILLENNIAL THRONE OF JESUS SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IN 

MERCY, TRUTH, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.



Isaiah 17:7-8  PG 828

At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes 

shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his 

hands, neither shall respect [that] which his fingers have 

made, either the groves, or the images.

EVERYONE INCLUDING ALL THE JEWS WILL RECOGNIZE AND WORSHIP 

JESUS AT HIS SECOND COMING.  ARE YOU READY FOR HIS RETURN?



Isaiah 17:13   PG 829

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: 

but [God] shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, 

and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before 

the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL DECLARE HIMSELF TO BE GOD AND 

ASSEMBLE HIS ARMIES TO TRY TO STOP JESUS FROM RETURNING TO 

EARTH.  WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN THIS FINAL BATTLE?









JUL 2  ISAIAH 21, 23    2 KINGS 16, 18      PG 829 - 833



Isaiah 23:9   PG 829

The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of 

all glory, [and] to bring into contempt all the honourable 

of the earth.

ISAIAH PRONOUNCES GOD'S PENDING JUDGMENT AGAINST EDOM, 

ARABIA, AND TYRE.  ALL JUDGMENTS OF GOD BRING DOWN THE 

PRIDE AND GLORY OF MAN WHEN HE TURNS AWAY FROM GOD.  WE 

NEED TO WORK FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AS PRIORITY 1.  WE CAN 

HAVE OUR OWN PRIDE AND LIVE IN UNFORGIVENESS AND 

BITTERNESS FOR A WHILE BUT ULTIMATELY OUR PRIDE WILL BE 

JUDGED FOR THE SIN THAT IT IS.



II Kings 16:8   PG 832

And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the 

house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's 

house, and sent [it for] a present to the king of Assyria.

BACK IN JUDAH, KING AHAZ CONTINUES TO SINK DEEPER.  HE IS 

LEADING HIS PEOPLE AWAY FROM GOD AND INTO THE JUDGMENT OF 

CAPTIVITY.  HE TAKES THE GOLD AND SILVER FROM THE TEMPLE 

AND GIVES IT FOR TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF ASSYRIA.



II Kings 16:11&16   PG 832

And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that 

king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest 

made [it] against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

II Kings 16:16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to 

all that king Ahaz commanded.

NOT ONLY DID KING AHAZ TAKE THE GOLD AND SILVER FOR 

TRIBUTE TO THE KING OF ASSYRIA, BUT HE HAD ALTERS SET UP 

IN JUDAH TO FORSAKE GOD AND WORSHIP THE gods OF ASSYRIA.  

NOT TOO SMART.  BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR NATIONAL LEADERS - HAVE 

THEY NOT SET THE GOVERNMENT UP AS A god EMBRACING 

SOCIALISM, ABORTION (MOLECH), NECROMANCY (HILLARY 

CLINTON'S CONVERSATIONS WITH ELEANOR ROOSEVELT), SODOMY 

(HOMOSEXUAL SOCIAL STATUS ELEVATION)?  COULD WE NOT ALSO 

BE HEADED FOR JUDGMENT.  WISE PEOPLE TODAY REALIZE HOW 

NEAR WE ARE TO DISASTER AND ARE ORDERING THEIR LIVES TO 

SEEK GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEART IN TRUE REPENTANCE.  THE 

JUDGMENT OF A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IS MUCH NEARER THAN YOUR 

GOVERNMENT OR THE MEDIA WILL TELL YOU IT IS.



II Kings 18:3-7  PG 833

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the 

LORD, according to all that David his father did.

He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut 

down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent 

that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of 

Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him 

was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [any] 

that were before him.

For he clave to the LORD, [and] departed not from 

following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD 

commanded Moses.

And the LORD was with him; [and] he prospered 

whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the 

king of Assyria, and served him not.

AHAZ DIED.  HIS SON HEZEKIAH KNEW HOW WRONG HIS FATHER 

WAS.  HEZEKIAH SOUGHT THE LORD DILIGENTLY AND TORE DOWN 

ALL THE ALTERS THAT HIS FATHER AHAZ HAD SET UP.  HE EVEN 

TORE DOWN THE HIGH PLACES AND ASHERAH POLES OF THE SEXUAL 

IMMORALITY WHICH WAS RAMPANT IN THE LAND.  HEZEKIAH WAS A 

GOOD KING AND DELAYED THE JUDGMENT THAT WAS COMING ON 

JUDAH.  IF THE CHRISTIANS IN THIS LAND WILL BOLDLY STAND 

UP AND DECLARE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY THE 

JUDGMENT THAT OUR NATION FACES CAN POSSIBLY BE PREVENTED.

WHEN YOU STAND UP FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS BE PREPARED FOR EVEN 

YOUR FAMILY TO TURN AGAINST YOU.  YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS AND 

FAMILY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT JUDGMENT AND 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  THEY MAY LISTEN IF YOU TALK OF LOVE AND 

GRACE BUT THEY WILL TUNE YOU OUT AND THINK YOU ARE CRAZY 

OR EVEN EVIL IF YOU TALK OF JUDGMENT.  IF YOU LOVE THEM 

YOU MUST TRY TO TELL THEM.  GET READY AND STAY READY.  GET 

RIGHT AND STAY RIGHT.











JUL 3  ISAIAH 13, 14, 21                    PG 834 - 839



Isaiah 13:4-5   PG 834-835

The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a 

great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of 

nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the 

host of the battle.

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, 

[even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to 

destroy the whole land.

THERE IS A SPIRITUAL REALITY BEHIND WARS, INTERNATIONAL 

ECONOMICS, AND ALL THE PLANS OF THE NEW AGE AND NEW WORLD 

ORDER.  THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO ARE WORKING TO 

BRING ABOUT THIS NEW AGE OR NEW WORLD ORDER DO NOT REALIZE 

THE SOURCE OF THE GLOBAL WORLD ORDER IS SATAN.  THOSE AT 

THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE INNER ELITE DO RECOGNIZE LUCIFER 

AS THEIR GOD.  THE METAPHYSICAL AND SUPERNATURAL 

MANIFESTATIONS THAT SUCK IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE 

WORKERS FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER STOP SHORT OF IDENTIFYING 

LUCIFER AS THE PRIME DIRECTOR OF THIS NEW AGE MOVEMENT.  

LUCIFER IS THE SPIRIT OF ANTI-CHRIST WHO IS BEHIND IT ALL.  

THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD ARE COMING TOGETHER IN A SPIRIT 

OF ANTI-CHRIST.  IT IS NOT LUCIFER WHO WILL BE VICTORIOUS. 

ALTHOUGH, FOR A SHORT TIME, IT MAY APPEAR THAT HE AND THE 

ANTI-CHRIST ARE UNSTOPPABLE.  THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS 

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY.  ULTIMATE VICTORY CAN ONLY BE FOUND 

IN JESUS CHRIST.



Isaiah 13:11   PG 835

And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the 

wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy 

of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of 

the terrible.

THE END OF THE LEADERS AND PLANNERS OF THIS NEW AGE, NEW 

WORLD ORDER IS CLEARLY SPELLED OUT HERE.  THE UPPER ELITE 

OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER KNOWINGLY FOLLOW LUCIFER.  THE 

PROUD VAST MAJORITY HAVE BEEN SUCKED IN AND ARE DUPED INTO 

WORKING FOR THIS NEW AGE MOVEMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE 

IGNORANT AND/OR REBELLIOUS TOWARD THE WORD OF GOD.  THEY 

WILL ALL BE PUNISHED BY GOD.



Isaiah 13:19  PG 835

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the 

Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom 

and Gomorrah.

IN SCRIPTURE BABYLON IS MORE THAN JUST THE CAPITOL OF 

CHALDIA.  IT IS USED TO DESCRIBE TYRANNY OR CONFUSION.  

TYRANNY AND CONFUSION IS EXACTLY WHAT THE NEW AGE AND NEW 

WORLD ORDER IS.  TYRANNY IS THE OPPOSITE OF FREEDOM.  THE 

TRUTH IS WHAT SETS US FREE.  IF THE SON SETS US FREE WE 

ARE FREE INDEED.  THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO ANY 

OF THE VARIOUS BRANCHES OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT ARE INTO 

CONFUSION AND THE MOST HORRIBLE FROM OF TYRANNY WHICH 

KEEPS THEM FROM FINDING THE TRUE FREEDOM IN CHRIST.



Isaiah 14:1 PG 836

For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose 

Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers 

shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the 

house of Jacob.

THE WHOLE WORLD MAY BE TURNED AGAINST ISRAEL BUT THE LORD 

WILL BE ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL AND ISRAEL WILL NOT BE 

DEFEATED AGAIN.  ALIENS WILL JOIN THEM.  PEOPLE WHO KNOW 

THE ONE TRUE GOD WILL BE ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL.  PART OF 

BEING A CHRISTIAN IS TO BE ESPECIALLY COMPASSIONATE AND 

TENDER HEARTED TOWARD THE JEWS.  WE SEE TODAY HOW JEWS 

FROM ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD ARE RETURNING TO THEIR 

HOMELAND.  WE MUST SUPPORT ISRAEL.  IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO 

BE A TRUE CHRISTIAN AND HATE THE JEWS.  PART OF BEING A 

CHRISTIAN IS TO LOVE THE JEWS.



Isaiah 14:9-17  PG 836 - 837

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy 

coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, [even] all the 

chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their 

thrones all the kings of the nations.

All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also 

become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, [and] the noise of 

thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms 

cover thee.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the 

morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which 

didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into 

heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I 

will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the 

sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be 

like the most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of 

the pit.

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] 

consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the 

earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

[That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the 

cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his 

prisoners?

HERE IS SOME OF THE MOST ENLIGHTENING AND ENCOURAGING OF 

ALL SCRIPTURES.  WE SHALL OVERCOME THE DEVIL BY THE BLOOD 

OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY.  MAKE THESE 

VERSES PART OF YOUR TESTIMONY.  THESE FEW VERSES TELL YOU 

A GREAT DEAL ABOUT LUCIFER, THE DEVIL, OUR ADVERSARY.  

HELL FROM BENEATH IS THE DESTINY OF LUCIFER AND ALL THOSE 

WHO HAVE NOT FOUND SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST.  WHERE IS 

LUCIFER?  IN HEAVEN.  HE IS OUR ACCUSER.  HE IS STILL 

TRYING TO LEAD THE 2/3 OF THE FAITHFUL ANGELS IN REBELLION 

AGAINST GOD.  ONE DAY GOD WILL HAVE HAD ENOUGH.  HE WILL 

CAST LUCIFER AND THE 1/3 OF REBELLIOUS ANGELS OUT OF 

HEAVEN AND DOWN TO EARTH.  THE DEAD WILL HAVE BEEN STIRRED 

UP FOR LUCIFER'S COMING.  ALL ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD UNLESS 

THEY HAVE FOUND ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST.  EVERYONE 

EXCEPT BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS WILL HAVE BEEN STIRRED UP TO 

WELCOME SATAN AND HIS ANTI-CHRIST TO USHER IN THE NEW 

WORLD ORDER.  THIS NEW ORDER WILL BE CONFUSION AND 

TYRANNY.  SATAN HAS ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED.  IN REALITY HE 

IS MUCH WEAKER THAN WE ARE.  WHEN WE HAVE THE PRESENCE OF 

THE HOLY SPIRIT WE CAN TELL HIM TO GO TO HELL WHERE HE 

BELONGS.  WHEN THE ELITE OF THE EARTH, WHO FOLLOW LUCIFER, 

SEE HIM THEY WILL SAY - ARE YOU WEAK LIKE US?  ARE YOU 

JUST AS WEAK AS WE ARE?  HOW ART THOU FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, 

O LUCIFER.  HIS ANTI-CHRIST WILL HAVE USED HIS MASTERY OF 

DECEPTION TO HAVE WAGED WAR ON THE SAINTS.  HIS POWER IS 

ONLY IN HIS MASTERY OF DECEPTION AND ILLUSION.  WE HAVE 

ETERNAL LIFE.  HE CAN KILL US BUT HE CAN'T TAKE OUR 

ETERNAL LIFE.  ETERNAL TORMENT IS HIS DESTINY.  LUCIFER IS 

NOT A POWERFUL GOD.  HE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL.  HE 

CREATED EVIL WHEN HE SAID THE MOST FOOLISH THING EVER 

STATED - "I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH."   HOW MANY MOST 

HIGHS CAN THERE BE?  YET HE CONTINUES TO USE THIS SAME 

FOOLISH LIE TO DECEIVE MEN AND ANGELS.  THE VAST MAJORITY 

OF THE MORMONS DON'T KNOW THAT THE GOD THEY ARE WORSHIPING 

IS LUCIFER.  THE TEMPLE MORMONS FIND OUT, BUT BY THEN, 

THEY ARE SO FAR INTO IT THAT VERY FEW EVER COME OUT.  THE 

33RD DEGREE MASONS FIND OUT THAT THE MASON'S GOD IS 

LUCIFER, BUT BY THEN THEY ARE SO FAR INTO IT THAT FEW IF 

ANY WILL EVER COME OUT.  IF YOU WORK YOUR WAY UP THE 

LADDER OF THE NEW AGE YOU WILL FIND THAT LUCIFER IS THE 

GOD OF THE NEW AGE.  SATAN CAN COME AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.  

REMEMBER THE LIE HE GAVE ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN - YOU 

SHALL BE LIKE GOD.  PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING THAT LIE.  IT 

HAS THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT SUGAR COATINGS.  THE BOTTOM 

LINE IS - ARE YOU YOUR OWN GOD OR HAVE YOU SOUGHT 

SALVATION FROM THE TRUE GOD BY COMING UNDER THE LORDSHIP 

OF JESUS.  WILL YOU OBEY AND SUBMIT TO GOD UNDER THE 

LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST OR WILL YOU SEEK TO BE YOUR OWN 

GOD AND END UP WITH LUCIFER?  LUCIFER IS DESTINED FOR 

HELL.  WHEN THEY FINALLY SEE THEIR GOD LUCIFER THEY WILL 

SAY "IS THIS THE MAN THAT MADE THE EARTH TREMBLE AND THAT 

DID SHAKE KINGDOMS, THAT CAUSED THE NUCLEAR WARS TO MAKE 

VAST SECTIONS OF THE WORLD A WILDERNESS?"  LUCIFER IS ONLY 

POWERFUL IF WE ALLOW HIM TO DECEIVE US.  THE DEVIL WILL 

HAVE POWER OVER YOU IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WORD OF GOD.  

JESUS IS THE LOGOS - THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.  YOU WILL GET 

SUCKED INTO THE DECEPTION WITH THE MAJORITY OF HUMANITY IF 

YOU REJECT GOD AND DO NOT GET TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD.  IF 

YOU DON'T KNOW THE WORD OF GOD YOU WILL BE DECEIVED.  

DON'T TRUST YOUR PASTOR.  DON'T TRUST ME.  TRUST THE WORD 

OF GOD.  GET TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.  GET IN 

A HURRY ABOUT IT.  NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE 

TODAY.  ASK JESUS FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GIVE YOU 

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD.  BABYLON,  

THE NEW WORLD ORDER OF TYRANNY AND CONFUSION, WILL NOT 

STAND.  SEE Isaiah 21:9, BABYLON IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN.  

THE NEW WORLD ORDER WILL FALL IN LESS THAN 7 YEARS.













JUL 4  2 CHRON 29, 30, 31                   PG 839 - 843



II Chronicles 29:3    PG 839

He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, 

opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired 

them.

HEZEKIAH ACTED AS QUICKLY AS HE POSSIBLY COULD TO TURN HIS 

NATION BACK TO GOD.  AMERICANS SHOULD READ THE MAYFLOWER 

COMPACT.  IN IT YOU WILL FIND THIS NATION TO HAVE BEEN 

ESTABLISHED "FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF 

THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION".  OUR CONSTITUTION SPECIFIES "THAT 

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF 

RELIGION NOR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF."  ONLY 

IN MUSLIM EXTREMIST COUNTRIES COULD THE FREE EXERCISE OF 

CHRISTIANITY BE AS PROHIBITED AS IN AMERICA.  HOW CAN A 

NATION SO BLESSED BY GOD BE SO SET AGAINST GOD AND GOD'S 

PRINCIPLES?  ONLY IN AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS THE 

DISPLAY OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AGAINST THE LAW.  IT IS 

AGAINST THE LAW TO DISPLAY THE BEST MORAL CODE IN HUMAN 

HISTORY TO THE CHILDREN OF THIS LAND.  GOD HELP US!  CAN 

JUDGMENT BE VERY FAR OFF?  TEACHING OF GOD'S JUDGMENT IS 

NOT TOLERATED.  THE PARENT WHO WOULD TRY TO WARN HIS 

CHILDREN OF GOD'S JUDGMENT WILL LIKELY BE CONSIDERED 

GUILTY OF SEVERE MENTAL ABUSE.  EVEN CHRISTIAN FAMILIES 

ARE BROKEN BY MEN WHO WILL NOT LOVE THEIR WIFE AS CHRIST 

LOVED THE CHURCH, AND WOMEN WHO FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE 

IN OBEDIENT GODLY SUBMISSION TO THEIR HUSBANDS.



II Chronicles 30:6-9  PG 841

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his 

princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to 

the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of 

Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, 

and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that 

are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, 

which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, 

[who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] 

yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his 

sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve 

the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may 

turn away from you.

For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your 

children [shall find] compassion before them that lead 

them captive, so that they shall come again into this 

land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, 

and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return 

unto him.

HEZEKIAH SENT LETTERS TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AS WELL 

AS HIS KINGDOM OF JUDAH.  NOT ONLY WAS HE GOING TO DO 

EVERYTHING HE COULD TO TURN HIS KINGDOM OF JUDAH BACK TO 

THE LORD BUT ALSO HE WAS GOING TO ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE OF 

ISRAEL TO RETURN TO THE LORD.  WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT 

ISRAEL HAD BECOME THE ENEMY OF JUDAH.  HE DOES NOT 

COMPROMISE.  BE YE NOT STIFFNECKED!  REJECTING GOD IS THE 

SOURCE OF OUR PROBLEMS.  BY TURNING BACK TO GOD EVERYONE 

FINDS GRACE AND MERCY.



II Chronicles 30:10   PG 841

So the posts passed from city to city through the country 

of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they 

laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN ISRAEL LAUGHED THE KING'S 

MESSENGERS TO SCORN.  THIS IS JUST WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN 

OUR LAND TODAY WHEN YOU PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, 

AND TRY TO WARN OF GOD'S JUDGMENT.  YET THIS DID NOT STOP 

KING HEZEKIAH OR HIS MEN.  A VERY FEW PEOPLE IN ISRAEL DID 

RESPOND TO THE CALL FOR REPENTANCE.



II Chronicles 30:18-20  PG 842

For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and 

Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed 

themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than 

it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The 

good LORD pardon every one

[That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of 

his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to 

the purification of the sanctuary.

And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

EVEN UNDER THE LAW WE SEE GRACE HERE.  GOD LOOKS ON THE 

HEART AND NOT ON THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE.  ONLY GOD KNOWS 

THE HEART MOTIVES OF THOSE WHO MAY APPEAR TO US TO BE 

DOING WRONG.  WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IN THEIR HEARTS AND 

GOD COMMANDS US TO LET HIM BE THE JUDGE AND FOR US ALWAYS 

TO THINK THE BEST, AND ASSUME THE BEST, AND PRAY FOR THOSE 

WHO SEEM TO BE DOING WRONG.  WE ARE TO JUDGE OURSELVES AND 

LEAVE THE JUDGMENT OF OTHERS TO GOD.



II Chronicles 30:26-27  PG 842

So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of 

Solomon the son of David king of Israel [there was] not 

the like in Jerusalem.

Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: 

and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to 

his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH.  WHEN WE SEEK TO FIND 

OUR JOY APART FROM THE LORD THE JOY IS PASSING AND UNREAL.  

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS REAL AND CAN SUSTAIN YOU THROUGH 

LIFE'S MOST DIFFICULT STRUGGLES.  IF YOU WANT A GREAT 

SIMPLE FORMULA FOR JOY, MAKE PHILIPPIANS 4:8 A PART OF 

YOUR LIFE AND PRACTICE IT EVERY DAY - Philippians 4:8 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever 

things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, 

whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] 

lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there 

be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on 

these things.

JUL 5  ISAIAH  24, 25, 26, 32, 35           PG 844 - 849



Isaiah 24:1  PG 844

Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it 

waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad 

the inhabitants thereof.

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; 

as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, 

so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the 

seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with 

the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: 

for the LORD hath spoken this word.

NO MATTER HOW THE ANTI-CHRIST AND THE NEW AGE GLOBALISTS 

APPEAR TO PROSPER AND PERSECUTE THE PEOPLE OF GOD, BE 

CERTAIN THAT IT IS GOD WHO IS IN CONTROL.  WEALTH AND 

STATUS WILL PROVIDE NO SHELTER FROM GOD'S JUDGMENT.  THE 

LORD WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BRING ABOUT EVERLASTING 

LOVE, PEACE, JOY, RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND JUSTICE TO THE WORLD.



Isaiah 24:21   PG 845

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD 

shall punish the host of the high ones [that are] on high, 

and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

THERE IS AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN LUCIFER, DEMONS 

(FALLEN ANGELS), THE HIGH ONES THAT ARE ON HIGH, AND THE 

POWERFUL MEN ON EARTH.  THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE SUCKED 

INTO THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER OF GLOBAL 

GOVERNMENT, MONEY, AND RELIGION ARE SIMPLY IGNORANT OF THE 

BIBLE.  THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEIR SPIRIT GUIDES ARE 

DEMONS.  THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THE SUPERNATURAL 

METAPHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS COME FROM THESE DEMONS TO 

DECEIVE THEM.  GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE DESTROYED FOR ONLY ONE 

REASON - LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD - HOSEA 4:6.  

STAY SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR STUDY OF THE BIBLE ALL OF YOUR 

LIFE.  IT BECOMES MORE VITAL EVERY DAY.  GOD WILL 

ULTIMATELY PUNISH EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THIS UNHOLY 

ALLIANCE.  THIS PUNISHMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON EARTH.  SOME 

DAY LUCIFER AND ALL FALLEN ANGEL WILL BE CAST DOWN FROM 

HEAVEN TO EARTH TO WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS FOR THE LAST 7 

YEARS BEFORE THE 2ND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST.  NO ONE WILL 

KNOW THE DAY OR HOUR OF THE BEGINNING OF THESE FINAL 7 

YEARS; BUT, A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN DEMONIC SUPERNATURAL 

MANIFESTATIONS IS CERTAIN TO OCCUR.  CAREFULLY TEST AND 

CHECK ANY AND ALL SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS TO BE 

CERTAIN THAT IT IS FROM GOD.  HOW?  ONLY THE BIBLE LETS 

YOU KNOW FOR SURE.  IS JESUS CHRIST GLORIFIED BY THE WORK?



Isaiah 25:1   PG 845

O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will 

praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things; 

thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.

GOD IS SO GREAT.  HIS WORDS ARE FAITHFUL AND TRUE.

WE SHOULD CONTINUALLY PRAISE GOD IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

Isaiah 25:4  PG 846

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to 

the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a 

shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones 

[is] as a storm [against] the wall.

WHERE IS YOUR STRENGTH?  IS IT YOUR MONEY?  IS IT YOUR 

POSITION?  IS IT YOUR INTELLIGENCE?  IS IT YOUR EDUCATION?  

THE ONLY STRENGTH THAT WILL NOT FAIL IS GOD.



Isaiah 25:6-8  PG 846

And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all 

people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the 

lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees 

well refined.

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the 

covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread 

over all nations.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will 

wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his 

people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the 

LORD hath spoken [it].

IT WAS INDEED ON THIS MOUNT JERUSALEM WHERE GOD DID 

SWALLOW UP DEATH IN VICTORY BY THE DEATH, BURIAL, AND 

RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.  WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN 

JESUS CHRIST.  WE MAY DIE, WE MAY BE KILLED, YET WE SHALL 

LIVE AND OUR ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST CONTINUES.  PAIN 

AND SUFFERING IN THIS LIFE ARE REALITIES.  DEATH IS NOT A 

REALITY FOR THE TRUE BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST.  SURE WE 

GRIEVE AT THE LOSS AND SEPARATION OF OUR LOVED ONES.  THAT 

IS REAL.  BUT TO THAT BELIEVER WHO DIES IN CHRIST, DEATH 

IS NOT A REALITY AND HIS ETERNAL LIFE CONTINUES IN CHRIST. 

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST IS AGAIN TO THIS MOUNT 

JERUSALEM WHERE HE SHALL REMOVE ALL SATANIC DARKNESS AND 

POWER NOW COVERING ALL NATIONS.  THE INFLUENCE OF LUCIFER, 

THAT WORKS IN ALL SONS OF SIN, WILL BE REMOVED FROM ALL 

HEARTS AND MINDS.  THEN, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE ADAM 

SINNED IN THE GARDEN, MEN WILL BE FREE FROM ALL SATANIC 

INFLUENCE AND DEMONIC POWER.  SATAN IS THE RULER OF THE 

DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD.  JESUS WILL CONFINE HIM AND ALL OF 

HIS AGENTS TO THE ABYSS DURING THE MILLENNIUM.



Isaiah 25:9  PG 846

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God; 

we have waited for him, and he will save us: this [is] the 

LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice 

in his salvation.

DOES THIS EXPRESS YOUR DEEPEST FEELINGS?  ARE YOU WAITING 

FOR HIM?  IS THERE SOMETHING YOU MUST DO BEFORE HE 

RETURNS?  HOW WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE IF HE WERE COMING 

TOMORROW?









Isaiah 26:3   PG 846

Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] 

stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.

THE WAY TO HAVE PERFECT PEACE REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES.



Isaiah 26:4   PG 847

Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH 

[is] everlasting strength:

DON'T PUT YOUR TRUST ANYWHERE ELSE.  IT IS ONLY THE 

STRENGTH OF GOD WHICH WILL NEVER FAIL.



Isaiah 26:7-9  PG 847

The way of the just [is] uprightness: thou, most upright, 

dost weigh the path of the just.

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited 

for thee; the desire of [our] soul [is] to thy name, and 

to the remembrance of thee.

With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with 

my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy 

judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world 

will learn righteousness.

IS THE DEEPEST DESIRE OF YOUR HEART TO KNOW JESUS OR IS IT 

TO KNOW SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE?



Isaiah 26:12-14   PG 847

LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast 

wrought all our works in us.

O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had 

dominion over us: [but] by thee only will we make mention 

of thy name.

[They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, 

they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and 

destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

GOD GIVES US PEACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRESSES AND 

TRIALS OF THIS LIFE.  GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ANY GOOD WORK 

THAT WE WOULD DO.  HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW YOU WILL 

HAVE TOTAL HAPPINESS IN HEAVEN IF SOMEONE THAT YOU LOVE IS 

NOT THERE?  HERE IS A POSSIBLE ANSWER FOR YOU - YOU WILL 

NOT REMEMBER THEM - ALL MEMORY OF THEM WILL BE GONE.  ON 

THE OTHER HAND DON'T EVER WORRY ABOUT ANYBODY BEING THERE 

THAT YOU DON'T LIKE.  NO ONE KNOWS THE MOTIVATIONS OF THE 

HEART BEHIND AN APPEARANTLY EVIL ACTION.  THE TRUTH IS 

THAT WE ARE ALL HAVE DESPERATELY WICKED HEARTS AND ONLY 

JESUS CAN FIX OUR DESPERATELY WICKED HEARTS.  HE WILL HAVE 

FIXED ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND YOU'LL LOVE THEM WHEN JESUS 

FINISHES WITH THEM.



Isaiah 26:19   PG 848

Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body 

shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: 

for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall 

cast out the dead.

JESUS IS THE LIVING PROOF OF THIS VERSE.  JESUS IS THE 

RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.  John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto 

her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that 

believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. 

Believest thou this?  WHEN YOU TRUST JESUS YOU DON'T NEED 

TO BE AFRAID TO DIE.



Isaiah 32:1-2  PG 848

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes 

shall rule in judgment.

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a 

covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry 

place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

YOU MAY NOT LIKE SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO RULE OVER YOU NOW 

BUT WHEN JESUS COMES BACK YOU WILL LOVE EVERY RULER IN HIS 

KINGDOM.



Isaiah 35:3-4  PG 849

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble 

knees.

Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear 

not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] 

God [with] a recompence; he will come and save you.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAUSES YOU TO BE AFRAID?  

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT!  DON'T BE AFRAID OF 

ANYTHING.  BE STRONG.  BE COURAGEOUS.  JESUS WILL SAVE YOU 

AND PROTECT YOU.



Isaiah 35:5-6  PG 849

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears 

of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue 

of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break 

out, and streams in the desert.

JESUS DID THESE THING WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST TIME.  WAIT 

TILL YOU SEE HOW GREATLY HE FIXES THINGS WHEN HE RETURNS.



Isaiah 35:10   PG 850

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to 

Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they 

shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing 

shall flee away.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS VERSE PUT INTO A SONG?   IT IS A GOOD 

SONG TO SING.











JUL 6  ISAIAH  28, 29, 22, 33               PG 850 - 855



Isaiah 29:13   PG  851

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw 

near [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour 

me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their 

fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

HERE IS A VERSE WHICH OFTEN BRINGS ME UNDER CONVICTION.  

IT MAY BE EASY TO PUT SOMETHING OVER ON PEOPLE BUT GOD 

KNOWS OUR HEARTS BETTER THAN WE DO.  GOD ALWAYS KNOWS WHEN 

WHAT WE SAY IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE THINK.  THERE IS NO 

WAY TO GET AWAY WITH A LIE TO GOD.  WHY WOULD WE EVER BE 

SO FOOLISH AS TO TRY SUCH A THING.  WE CAN NOT HIDE ANY 

SECRET THOUGHT FROM GOD.



Isaiah 29:14-16

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work 

among this people, [even] a marvellous work and a wonder: 

for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the 

understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid.

Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from 

the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, 

Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

Surely your turning of things upside down shall be 

esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of 

him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing 

framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

WHAT FANTASTIC ILLUSTRATION TO POINT OUT THE FOOLISHNESS 

OF THOSE WHO PLOT EVIL.  THE NEW AGE MOVERS AND SHAKERS 

ARE SO DECEIVED BY LUCIFER AND HIS DEMONS INTO THINKING 

THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE UP TO WITH THEIR SCHEMES 

TO CONTROL, MANIPULATE, AND ENSLAVE THE WORLD.  THE PEOPLE 

MAY NOT FIGURE IT OUT BUT GOD SURELY KNOWS THEIR EVERY 

EVIL PLOT.  SHALL THE PIECE OF CLAY SAY TO THE POTTER THAT 

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING?  HOW FOOLISH CAN WE BE 

TO THINK WE KNOW A WAY BETTER THAN GOD'S WAY OR THAT WE 

CAN HIDE ANYTHING FROM GOD?



Isaiah 29:18-20  PG 855

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, 

and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and 

out of darkness.

The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD, and 

the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of 

Israel.

For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner 

is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

LUCIFER, HIS DEMONS, AND THE MEN THAT THEY CONTROL MAY 

HAVE A SHORT 7 YEAR SEASON WHERE THEY SEEM TO HAVE IT ALL 

GOING THEIR WAY.  BUT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING AGAIN AND HE 

WILL MAKE EVERYTHING THE WAY IT REALLY SHOULD BE.  OUR 

BLESSED HOPE IS THAT WE KNOW EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL 

RIGHT.  JESUS IS GOING TO RETURN.















JUL 7  ISAIAH  27, 29, 32, 33, 22           PG 855 - 859



Isaiah 27:2-3  PG 855

In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest 

[any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

WE ARE SEEING PART OF THE FULFILLMENT OF THIS PROPHESY.  

ISRAEL IS BEING REGATHERED.  AGAINST 10 TO 1 ODDS ISRAEL 

HAS SOUNDLY DEFEATED HER ARAB ATTACKERS.  ISRAEL IS GOD'S 

VINEYARD.  GOD IS ISRAEL'S PROTECTOR.  ISRAEL CANNOT BE 

DEFEATED THOUGH THE WHOLE WORLD IS TURNED AGAINST ISRAEL.  

ONLY A FOOL COULD FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD'S HAND IN THE 

MIRACULOUS DELIVERANCE WHICH GOD HAS GIVEN TO ISRAEL SINCE 

1963.  EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ALMOST A COMPLETE NEWS 

BLACKOUT SURROUNDING ISRAEL WE SHOULD TRY TO FIND OUT AS 

MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE.  ISRAEL IS 

THE FOCAL POINT FOR SO MUCH PROPHESY.



Isaiah 27:6   PG 856

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: 

Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the 

world with fruit.

HOW GLORIOUSLY THIS PROPHESY IS BEING FULFILLED IN OUR 

TIME.  THE LATTER RAINS ARE FALLING ON ISRAEL.  GOD IS 

BRINGING THE JEWS TO THEIR HOMELAND FROM ALL OVER THE 

WORLD.



Isaiah 33:2-3  PG 857

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be 

thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the 

time of trouble.

At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting 

up of thyself the nations were scattered.

GOD TRULY HAS BEEN THE SALVATION OF ISRAEL SINCE THE 

REGATHERING HAS STARTED.  THE 92 TO 0 AIR TO AIR COMBAT 

VICTORY IS TYPICAL OF THE MIRACULOUS MILITARY VICTORIES 

WHICH GOD HAS GIVEN ISRAEL.



Isaiah 33:5-6  PG 857

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath 

filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy 

times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD 

[is] his treasure.

THE LORD IS EXALTED IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW.  SOON HE WILL 

RETURN TO ZION.  WHEN JESUS COMES TO ZION THIS TIME 

EVERYONE WILL RECOGNIZE HIM AS LORD.  HE WILL REIGN FROM 

HIS THRONE IN JERUSALEM WITH RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.  THE FEAR 

OF THE LORD IS THE KEY TO HIS TREASURES, OF WISDOM AND 

KNOWLEDGE AND SALVATION.



Isaiah 33:15-16   PG 858

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he 

that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his 

hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from 

hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall be] 

the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his 

waters [shall be] sure.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE WHO WOULD DWELL 

WITH THE LORD FOR THE LORD IS A CONSUMING FIRE - WALKING 

RIGHTEOUSLY, SPEAKING THE TRUTH, DOES NOT OPPRESS THE 

POOR, WILL NOT TAKE BRIBES, WILL NOT TAKE PART IN ANY 

MURDEROUS PLOT, AND WILL NOT LOOK AT EVIL THINGS.



Isaiah 33:22   PG 858

For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, 

the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF UNRIGHTEOUS JUDGES.  DON'T EVER 

FORGET THAT THE LORD IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE OF EVERYONE AND 

HE KNOWS THE DEEPEST SECRETS OF EVERYONE.  NOTHING CAN 

ESCAPE HIS RIGHT JUDGMENTS.  ONLY JESUS OUR LORD AND KING 

CAN SAVE US.  WE CAN NOT SAVE OURSELVES.  NO ONE SHOULD 

EVER WANT WHAT HE DESERVES BECAUSE WE ALL DESERVE HELL.  

JESUS PAID A PRICE FOR US THAT WE COULD NEVER PAY OURSELF.



Isaiah 33:24   PG 858

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people 

that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.

THE LORD WILL HEAL ALL SICKNESS AND FORGIVE ALL SINS IF 

ONLY WE WILL AGREE WITH GOD THAT WE HAVE SINNED AND WANT 

TO TURN AWAY FROM OUR SINS AND LIVE THE WAY GOD WANTS US 

TO LIVE.











JUL 8  2 KINGS 17, 18                       PG 859 - 862



II Kings 18:11   PG 860

And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto 

Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river 

of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

THE KING OF ASSYRIA TOOK ALL ISRAEL INTO CAPTIVITY.



II Kings 17:7   PG 860

For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned 

against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out 

of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king 

of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

ISRAEL HAD TURNED AWAY FROM THE LORD.  THEY TOTALLY 

REJECTED THE LAW OF THE LORD AND WERE TOTALLY GIVEN OVER 

TO IDOLATRY AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY.  EVERYONE DID WHAT WAS 

RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES.  THERE WERE NO ETHICAL PEOPLE.



II Kings 17:14   PG 860

Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their 

necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not 

believe in the LORD their God.

GOD HAD SENT THEM PROPHETS TO PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THEM 

AND WARN THEM OF IMPENDING JUDGMENT.  BUT THEY HARDENED 

THEIR HEARTS AND WERE STIFFNECKED.



II Kings 17:18-19  PG 861

Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed 

them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe 

of Judah only.

Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their 

God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

JUDGMENT HAD NOT YET FALLEN ON JUDAH WHEN ISRAEL WAS TAKEN 

INTO CAPTIVITY.  JUDAH WAS EXPERIENCING REVIVAL UNDER GOOD 

KING HEZEKIAH.  THE CORRUPT KINGS WHICH JUDAH HAD BEFORE 

HEZEKIAH HAD LED JUDAH DOWN THE SAME PATH AWAY FROM GOD 

THAT ISRAEL HAD TAKEN.  AS LONG AS THEY WERE RETURNING AND 

REPENTING AND TRYING TO FOLLOW GOD THEY WERE PROTECTED BY 

GOD.



II Kings 17:25   PG 861

And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, 

[that] they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent 

lions among them, which slew [some] of them.

AFTER THE KING OF ASSYRIA HAD TAKEN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL 

INTO CAPTIVITY HE SENT OTHER PEOPLE IN TO INHABIT THE 

CITIES AND TOWNS OF ISRAEL.  THESE PEOPLE DID NOT KNOW THE 

GOD OF ISRAEL AND GOD THEN SENT LIONS INTO THE LAND AND 

PUT THE NEW INHABITANTS INTO GREAT FEAR.



II Kings 17:28  PG 861

Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from 

Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how 

they should fear the LORD.

THE ASSYRIAN KING THEN SENT ONE OF THE PRIESTS OF ISRAEL 

TO TEACH THE NEW INHABITANTS ABOUT JEHOVAH.



II Kings 17:33   PG 861

They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the 

manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear 

not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or 

after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment 

which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he 

named Israel;

IT DID NOT REALLY MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THEY KEPT 

RIGHT ON MAKING AND WORSHIPING THEIR OWN IDOLS.



II Kings 18:7-8  PG 862

And the LORD was with him; [and] he prospered 

whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the 

king of Assyria, and served him not.

He smote the Philistines, [even] unto Gaza, and the 

borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the 

fenced city.

BACK IN JUDAH THINGS WERE GOING MUCH BETTER.  GOOD KING 

HEZEKIAH HAD CALLED HIS NATION TO REPENTANCE AND GOD WAS 

BLESSING JUDAH.  THE LORD CAUSED HEZEKIAH TO PROSPER IN 

EVERYTHING HE DID.  HE REBELLED AND REFUSED TO PAY TRIBUTE 

TO ASSYRIA.  ASSYRIA HAD ALREADY CONQUERED THE LARGER 

NATION OF ISRAEL.  IT WOULD BE 125 YEARS LATER THAT JUDAH 

WOULD ALSO BE TAKEN INTO CAPTIVITY.  IT WAS THE POLICY OF 

THE ASSYRIANS TO CONQUER A LAND AND MOVE ITS PEOPLE TO 

ANOTHER CONQUERED LAND TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF 

REBELLION AND EASILY CONTROL THEIR VAST EMPIRE.











JUL 9   ISAIAH 18, 19, 20, 30, 31            PG 863 - 869



Isaiah 18:3   PG 864

All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the 

earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the 

mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

JEHOVAH GOD COMMANDS ALL MEN TO LOOK WHEN HE LIFTS UP A 

SIGN FOR ALL MEN IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ZION.  ALL MEN MUST 

LOOK TO CALVARY FOR THEIR SALVATION.  ANYONE WHO REFUSES 

TO LOOK TO THIS ENSIGN OF GOD WILL NOT BE SAVED.  WHEN GOD 

COMMANDS THE TRUMPET AT THE 2ND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST, 

EVERYONE WILL HEAR IT EVEN THOUGH THE MAJORITY WILL NOT 

WANT TO HEAR IT.  EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE WITH HOW THEY VIEW 

THE ENSIGN OF GOD.  HOW THEY HAVE LOOKED TO THE ENSIGN OF 

GOD WILL DETERMINE WHETHER THEY HEAR THE TRUMPET WITH A 

RAPTUROUS JOY OR DISPARATE FEAR.  HOW WILL YOU HEAR THE 

TRUMPET?  THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION BECAUSE YOU WILL 

MOST CERTAINLY HEAR THE TRUMPET.



Isaiah 19:1   PG 864

The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift 

cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt 

shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt 

shall melt in the midst of it.

THE 19TH CHAPTER OF ISAIAH FINDS MUCH OF ITS FULFILLMENT 

IN THE TRIBULATION AND MILLENNIUM.



Isaiah 19:2 And I will set the Egyptians against the 

Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his 

brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against 

city, [and] kingdom against kingdom.

IT IS NOT CLEAR WHEN THIS EGYPTIAN CIVIL WAR WILL OCCUR.  

MOST OF EGYPT TODAY IS MUSLIM.  SOME MUSLIMS MAY NOT GO 

ALONG WITH THE ANTI-CHRIST WORLD RELIGION.  THIS MAY BE 

WHAT PRECIPITATES THE EGYPTIAN CIVIL WAR.  IT WILL MOST 

LIKELY HAVE A TRIBULATION FULFILLMENT.



Isaiah 19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the 

hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over 

them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

THIS FIERCE KING IS THE ANTI-CHRIST.



Isaiah 19:8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they 

that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they 

that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

WE HAVE SEEN FULFILLMENT OF THIS PROPHESY.  IT CAME WITH 

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ASWAN DAM.  PRIOR TO THE 

CONSTRUCTION OF THIS DAM THE WATERS OF THE NILE WERE 

ALWAYS MUDDY AND TURBID WHICH MADE THEM EASY TO FISH 

COMMERCIALLY WITH NETS.  NOW THEY HAVE BECOME RELATIVELY 

CLEAR AND THERE ARE OVER 30,000 EGYPTIAN COMMERCIAL 

FISHERMEN WHO LOST THEIR LIVELIHOOD.





Isaiah 19:17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto 

Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be 

afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of 

hosts, which he hath determined against it.

WE HAVE ALSO SEEN AT LEAST A PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THIS 

PROPHESY.  ISRAEL HAS SOUNDLY DEFEATED EGYPTIAN FORCES IN 

ALL BATTLES SINCE THE 6 DAY WAR OF 1963.  ISRAEL TOOK VAST 

LAND AREAS OF EGYPT ALL THE WAY TO THE SUEZ CANAL IN THIS 

WAR.  THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE CARTER PEACE TREATY 

BETWEEN SADAT AND BEGIN WHEN ISRAEL RETURNED MUCH OF THIS 

TERRITORY BACK TO EGYPT.



Isaiah 19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness 

unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they 

shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he 

shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall 

deliver them.

EGYPT'S SAVIOR IS NONE OTHER THEN THE SAVIOR OF ALL 

MANKIND.  IT IS JESUS CHRIST AND THIS PROPHESY LIKELY WILL 

BE FULFILLED IN THE MILLENNIUM.



Isaiah 20:2-4  PG 866

At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, 

saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and 

put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking 

naked and barefoot.

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked 

naked and barefoot three years [for] a sign and wonder 

upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians 

prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, 

naked and barefoot, even with [their] buttocks uncovered, 

to the shame of Egypt.

GOD MADE ISAIAH A SIGN AND A WONDER TO HIS PEOPLE BY HIS 

WALKING NAKED AND BAREFOOTED FOR 3 YEARS.  HE WAS NOT 

NUDE, BUT HAD TAKEN OFF HIS SACKCLOTH PROPHET CLOTHES AS 

SAUL DID IN 1 SAM. 19:24.  PETER ALSO PUT OFF HIS OUTER 

GARMENTS SO THAT HE COULD FISH JOHN 21:7.  NO DOUBT THIS 

WAS AN EMBARRASSING HARDSHIP FOR ISAIAH, NEVERTHELESS HE 

WAS OBEDIENT.  ISAIAH WAS VERY GRAPHICALLY LETTING THE 

PEOPLE OF JUDAH KNOW THAT THEIR HELP WOULD ONLY BE FOUND 

IN GOD AND NOT IN ANY ALLIANCE WITH ETHIOPIA OR EGYPT.



Isaiah 30:15   PG 867

For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In 

returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in 

confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

IN REPENTANCE AND REST IS YOUR SALVATION.  IN QUIETNESS 

AND TRUST IN GOD IS YOUR STRENGTH.  WILL YOU TRUST YOUR 

OWN SCHEMES OR WILL YOU TRUST GOD?  THIS IS THE CHOICE WE 

MAKE IN LIVING EVERY DAY.





Isaiah 30:16   PG 867

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore 

shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore 

shall they that pursue you be swift.

I HAVE TO CONFESS THAT FAR TOO OFTEN I HAVE TRIED TO 

FIGURE OUT A WAY OF MY OWN.  I HAVE FAILED TO TRUST GOD TO 

WORK OUT THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TRIED TO 

SOLVE IT MYSELF AND FAILED.  FINALLY YOU WILL COME TO 

PROBLEMS THAT ARE SO GREAT THAT ONLY TRUST IN GOD CAN GIVE 

YOU ANY PEACE.



Isaiah 30:18  PG 868

And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious 

unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may 

have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: 

blessed [are] all they that wait for him.

GOD LONGS TO BE GRACIOUS TO US AND WAITS FOR US TO CALL.



Isaiah 30:19-21   PG 868

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou 

shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at 

the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will 

answer thee.

And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and 

the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be 

removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see 

thy teachers:

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This 

[is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right 

hand, and when ye turn to the left.

THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN JERUSALEM WILL WEEP NO MORE.  HOW 

GRACIOUS THE LORD IS.  GOD IS PROTECTING ISRAEL.  THEY 

HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT AFFLICTION AND ADVERSITY SINCE THEY 

REJECTED MESSIAH JESUS AND WERE DESTROYED BY ROME IN 70 

AD.  NOW GOD IS REGATHERING THEM AND GOD IS PROVIDING FOR 

THEM AND PROTECTING THEM.  GOD IS ON ISRAEL'S SIDE.  THE 

ARMIES OF ISRAEL CAN NOT BE DEFEATED EVER AGAIN.  ISRAEL 

STILL NEEDS TO LEARN THE MESSIAH'S IDENTITY.  THEY WILL 

NOT ALL FLOCK TO ANTI-CHRIST EVEN THOUGH THEIR NATION WILL 

MAKE A PEACE TREATY WITH HIM.  ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED 

WHEN MESSIAH JESUS RETURNS TO JERUSALEM.  IN ONE DAY THEY 

SHALL ALL BE SAVED.



Isaiah 31:1   PG 869

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on 

horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; 

and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they 

look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the 

LORD!

WHERE DO WE GO FOR HELP?  SOME TRUST IN MILITARY STRENGTH 

AS THE EGYPTIANS TRUSTED IN THEIR HORSES AND CHARIOTS.  

THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO IS WORTHY OF OUR TRUST.  IT IS 

MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.











JUL 10  ISAIAH 38   2 KINGS 18, 19, 20       PG 870 - 877



II Kings 20:4-6  PG 870

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the 

middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, 

saying,

Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, 

Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have 

heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will 

heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the 

house of the LORD.

And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will 

deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of 

Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, 

and for my servant David's sake.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.  HEZEKIAH WAS GOING TO DIE.  HE WAS 

A GOOD KING AND HAD DONE MUCH TO BRING HIS NATION BACK TO 

GOD.  ISAIAH HAD ALREADY TOLD HIM THAT HIS ILLNESS WAS 

TERMINAL AND TO GET HIS HOUSE IN ORDER.  HEZEKIAH PRAYS 

AND ASKS GOD TO HEAL HIM AND BEFORE ISAIAH LEAVES THE 

COURTYARD GOD TELLS HIM TO GO BACK AND TELL HEZEKIAH THAT 

GOD HAS HEARD HIS PRAYER AND THAT HE WILL BE HEALED AND 

HAVE 15 MORE YEARS BEFORE HE DIES.  GOD ALSO TELLS HIM 

THAT HE WILL SAVE JUDAH FROM THE ASSYRIANS BECAUSE IT 

WOULD GLORIFY GOD AND FOR THE SAKE OF DAVID.



II Kings 20:10-11  PG 871

And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow 

to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return 

backward ten degrees.

And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought 

the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down 

in the dial of Ahaz.

IT WOULD BE A MUCH GREATER MIRACLE FOR THE EARTH TO 

SUDDENLY SKIP BACKWARD IN ITS ROTATION 10 DEGREES.  THE 

ENTIRE INERTIA OF THE PLANET WAS OPPOSING THIS GREAT 

MIRACLE.  IT WAS THIS PHENOMENAL MIRACLE THAT LIKELY 

CAUSED THE KING OF BABYLON TO SEND HEZEKIAH A GIFT AND 

HEAR ABOUT HIS ILLNESS.  GOD HAD STOPPED THE EARTH'S 

ROTATION FOR 24 HOURS WHEN JOSHUA WAS ROUTING HIS ENEMY.  

THE 10 DEGREE SKIP BACK OF THE PLANET IS 40 MINUTES.  I 

HAVE HEARD THAT THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR CELESTIAL 

NAVIGATION WHICH PLOT THE COURSES OF ALL CELESTIAL BODIES 

REQUIRE A 24 HOUR AND 40 MINUTE CORRECTION TO MAKE ALL OF 

THESE POSITION CALCULATIONS WORK OUT EXACTLY.



II Chronicles 32:25-26  PG 872

But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit 

[done] unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore 

there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of 

his heart, [both] he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so 

that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days 

of Hezekiah.

EVEN GOOD HEZEKIAH WAS NOT ABLE TO AVOID THE SIN OF PRIDE.  

AFTER THIS GREAT MIRACLE SIGN WAS DONE BY GOD FOR HIM HE 

"RENDERED NOT AGAIN ACCORDING TO THE BENEFIT DONE UNTO 

HIM;".  THANKSGIVING, PRAISE, AND GREATFULNESS TO GOD IS 

OUR FIRST LINE DEFENSE AGAINST THE BESETTING SIN OF PRIDE.  

PRIDE IS A SIN WHICH IS OFTEN PRESENTED BY THE WORLD AS A 

VIRTUE.  PRIDE IS A SIN WHICH WILL GET US INTO ALL SORTS 

OF TROUBLE.  TAKING PRIDE IN YOUR WORK IS NOT SMART.  WORK  

IS A BLESSING.  DOING A GOOD JOB BRINGS JOY AND 

SATISFACTION.  HERE ARE A COUPLE OF KEYS TO HELP IN THE 

BATTLE WE ALL HAVE WITH PRIDE  -  Luke 17:10 So likewise 

ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are 

commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have 

done that which was our duty to do.  AND  I Peter 4:11..if 

any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which 

God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified 

through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for 

ever and ever. Amen.  WHY ARE WE TALENTED?  DOES GOD GIVE 

US TALENTS THAT WE MAY GET PUFFED UP?  WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN 

TALENTS THAT WE MIGHT USE THEM FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.  IF 

OUR TALENTS ARE USED FOR OUR OWN GLORY THEN THEY GO TO THE 

GRAVE WITH US.  IF OUR TALENTS ARE USED FOR THE GLORY OF 

GOD THEN THEIR VALUE AND GLORY TAKE ON AN ETERNAL 

EVERLASTING VALUE.



II Kings 20:13-17   PG 872

And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the 

house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, 

and the spices, and the precious ointment, and [all] the 

house of his armour, and all that was found in his 

treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his 

dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.

Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said 

unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they 

unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far 

country, [even] from Babylon.

And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And 

Hezekiah answered, All [the things] that [are] in mine 

house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures 

that I have not shewed them.

And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.

Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thine house, 

and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this 

day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, 

saith the LORD.

IT WAS HEZEKIAH'S PRIDE THAT CAUSED HIM TO SHOW OUT TO THE 

SPIES FROM BABYLON.  WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL, ESPECIALLY IN 

THESE DANGEROUS TIMES NOT TO BE TOO FLASHY.  WOMEN CAN 

REDUCE THEIR CHANCES OF BEING ASSAULTED OR RAPED BY 

DRESSING MODESTLY.  BE CLEAN AND BE MODEST.  DO NOT BE 

OVERLY ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE IN THESE DANGEROUS TIMES YOU MAY 

ATTRACT AN ASSAULT.  HEZEKIAH SHOULD HAVE HIDDEN HIS 

TREASURES FROM THE DANGEROUS BABYLONIANS.  OUR DAUGHTERS 

MUST BE TAUGHT TO DRESS AND ACT MODESTLY.



II Chronicles 32:7-8  PG 873

Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for 

the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is] 

with him: for [there be] more with us than with him:

With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the LORD 

our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the 

people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king 

of Judah.

THESE WERE THE RIGHT WORDS FOR THE DANGER FACING JUDAH.  

THEY ARE THE RIGHT WORDS FOR AMERICAN CHRISTIANS TODAY.  

CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE NEED TO MEDITATE ON THESE WORDS AS 

WE SEE THIS JUGGERNAUT OF ANTI-CHRIST MOVING TOWARD WORLD 

DOMINATION.



II Kings 18:22, 25, 26, & 36   PG 873 - 874

But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is] 

not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah 

hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye 

shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

18:25 Am I now come up without the LORD against this place 

to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this 

land, and destroy it.

18:26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, 

and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy 

servants in the Syrian language; for we understand [it]: 

and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of 

the people that [are] on the wall.

18:36 But the people held their peace, and answered him 

not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer 

him not.

THE KING OF ASSYRIA SENT TARTAN, RABSARIS, AND RABSHAKAH 

(COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, CHIEF OF HEADS, AND CHIEF OF 

CAPTAINS) TO DEMORALIZE JUDAH.  THE PLAN WAS TO SHOUT TO 

THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH IN THEIR LANGUAGE AND WITH THE VAST 

ARMY OF 185,000 THAT IT WAS HOPELESS TO FIGHT ASSYRIA.  

WHAT RABSHAKAH DID NOT REALIZE IS THAT HE WAS INSULTING 

THE TRUE GOD.  VERSE 25 INDICATES THEY HAD HEARD THE 

PROPHECIES OF ISAIAH 10:5-19.  RABSHAKAH THOUGHT HIS GOD, 

WHOSE ALTERS HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY HEZEKIAH, WAS AS GOOD 

OR BETTER THAN JEHOVAH.  THIS WAS HIS FATAL MISTAKE.  THIS 

WAS AN INSULT WHICH GOD WOULD NOT ALLOW.  HEZEKIAH HAD 

GIVEN THE RIGHT WORDS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS PEOPLE.  THE 

PEOPLE OF JUDAH DID NOT RUSH TO SURRENDER AND GAVE NO 

RESPONSE TO RABSHAKAH.



II Kings 19:5-7  PG 875

So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your 

master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words 

which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king 

of Assyria have blasphemed me.

Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a 

rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause 

him to fall by the sword in his own land.

GOD SENDS WORD TO KING HEZEKIAH AND THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH BY 

HIS PROPHET ISAIAH REGARDING WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO.  Amos 

3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth 

his secret unto his servants the prophets.  AMOS TOLD US 

THAT GOD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT FIRST REVEALING HIS 

SECRET TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.  THIS IS WHY IN THIS 

DANGEROUS TIME, AS GOD'S PEOPLE DID THEN, WE NEED TO VERY 

EARNESTLY STUDY PROPHESY.  IT IS ALL THERE IN OUR BIBLES 

IF WE WILL ONLY DILIGENTLY LOOK FOR IT.  GOD HAS TOLD US 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND HOW WE CAN OVERCOME ANTI-CHRIST AND 

HIS ARMY BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND BY THE WORD OF OUR 

TESTIMONY.  IF WE ARE DESTROYED IT WILL ONLY BE BECAUSE WE 

HAVE NEGLECTED THIS KNOWLEDGE THAT GOD HAS SO GRACIOUSLY 

OFFERED US.  HAVE YOU STUDIED END TIME PROPHESY?  DON'T 

YOU THINK YOU SHOULD?  IF YOU ARE TEMPTED TO SAY IT IS TOO 

HARD TO UNDERSTAND REMEMBER THAT ALL SCRIPTURE IS 

SPIRITUALLY UNDERSTOOD.  PRAY AND ASK GOD BY HIS HOLY 

SPIRIT TO GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING.



II Kings 19:14-19  875

And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the 

messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the 

house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God 

of Israel, which dwellest [between] the cherubims, thou 

art the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the 

earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine 

eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which 

hath sent him to reproach the living God.

Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the 

nations and their lands,

And have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no 

gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: 

therefore they have destroyed them.

Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou 

us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may 

know that thou [art] the LORD God, [even] thou only.

THE MESSAGE OF RABSHAKEH WAS WRITTEN AND DELIVERED TO KING 

HEZEKIAH.  IMMEDIATELY HE WENT TO GOD IN PRAYER.  HIS 

PRAYER WAS THAT GOD SEE AND HEAR HOW ASSYRIA WAS INSULTING 

GOD.  HE ASKS GOD TO SAVE JUDAH SO THAT THE WHOLE WORLD 

WILL KNOW THAT ONLY JEHOVAH IS GOD.



II Kings 19:22-23  PG 875 - 876

Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom 

hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on 

high? [even] against the Holy [One] of Israel.

By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord,...

GOD SENDS ISAIAH TO LET HEZEKIAH KNOW HOW TO ANSWER 

ASSYRIA.  GOD THEN IN ONE NIGHT WIPES OUT 185,000 ASSYRIAN 

SOLDIERS.  THE KING OF ASSYRIA WENT HOME DEFEATED AND WAS 

KILLED JUST AS ISAIAH HAD PROPHESIED.









JUL 11     2 KINGS 20, 21               PG 877 - 878



II Kings 20:21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and 

Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.



II Kings 21:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he 

began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in 

Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Hephzibah.



II Kings 21:2 And he did [that which was] evil in the 

sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, 

whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.



II Kings 21:10  And the LORD spake by his servants the 

prophets, saying,



II Kings 21:11 Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done 

these abominations, [and] hath done wickedly above all 

that the Amorites did, which [were] before him, and hath 

made Judah also to sin with his idols:



II Kings 21:12 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of 

Israel, Behold, I [am] bringing [such] evil upon Jerusalem 

and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears 

shall tingle.



II Kings 21:13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line 

of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I 

will wipe Jerusalem as [a man] wipeth a dish, wiping [it], 

and turning [it] upside down.



II Kings 21:14 And I will forsake the remnant of mine 

inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their 

enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all 

their enemies;



II Kings 21:15 Because they have done [that which was] 

evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the 

day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this 

day.



THE TEXT PRETTY WELL SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.  MANASSEH WAS AS 

BAD OF A KING AS HIS FATHER HEZEKIAH HAD BEEN GOOD.  EVERY 

NATION IS ONLY ONE GENERATION AWAY FROM DEMORALIZATION.  

IT IS THE FATHER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TEACH THE CHILDREN TO 

SEEK GOD AND TO LIVE THEIR LIVES IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S 

PRINCIPLES.  THAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS BOOK WHICH I HAVE 

WRITTEN FOR MY DAUGHTERS.











JUL 12   ISAIAH 40, 41                  PG 878 - 883



Isaiah 40:1-2  PG 879

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that 

her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is 

pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double 

for all her sins.

WHERE DO YOU GO TO FIND PEACE?  ISRAEL HAS PAID A GREAT 

PRICE FOR THEIR REBELLION AGAINST GOD AND THE REJECTION OF 

MESSIAH.  NOW HOWEVER, IN OUR TIME, THE TIMES OF THE 

GENTILES ARE COMING TO AN END.  GOD IS REGATHERING HIS 

PEOPLE ISRAEL.  HE IS PROTECTING THEM.  SOON MESSIAH WILL 

RETURN AND ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED IN JUST 1 DAY.



Isaiah 40:3    PG 879

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye 

the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway 

for our God.

ISAIAH HERE DESCRIBES THE MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.  

Matthew 3:3, Mark 1:3, Luke 3:4, John 1:19  And this is 

the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites 

from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?  John 1:23 He 

said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 

Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet 

Esaias.



Isaiah 40:5   PG 880

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh 

shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath 

spoken [it].

AT THE SECOND COMING OF MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST ALL FLESH 

WILL SEE THE GLORY OF THE LORD AND IN THAT SAME DAY ALL 

ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED.



Isaiah 40:7-8   PG 880

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit 

of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of 

our God shall stand for ever.

COMPARED WITH ETERNITY THE HUMAN LIFE SPAN IS SO VERY 

SHORT THAT IT IS LIKE GRASS.  WE QUICKLY GROW UP AND IT 

SEEMS THAT NO SOONER THAN WE FLOURISH AS ADULTS THAT WE 

BEGIN WITHERING AND AGING AND OUR STRENGTH FADES.  WHAT DO 

WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO FOREVER?  WE HAVE THE WORD OF GOD 

WHICH SHALL STAND FOREVER.



Isaiah 40:10-11  PG 880

Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong [hand], and his 

arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, 

and his work before him.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather 

the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, 

[and] shall gently lead those that are with young.

LOOK, MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD GOD IS COMING SOON 

WITH GREAT STRENGTH, POWER, AND GLORY.  EVEN WITH SUCH 

GREAT POWER AND GLORY HE SHALL LEAD HIS PEOPLE LIKE A 

GENTLE SHEPHERD.  ONLY THE LORD JESUS IS PICTURED IN 

SCRIPTURE AS THE GOOD SHEPHERD.  ALL THE OTHERS ARE WOLVES 

IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.



Isaiah 40:28-29  PG 882

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the 

everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the 

earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no 

searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no 

might he increaseth strength.

DON'T YOU KNOW?  HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?  THE LORD GOD, WHO 

CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, NEVER GETS TIRED OR 

WEARY!  THE HUMAN MIND IS NOT CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING HOW 

GREAT IS GOD'S WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING.  GOD 

WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH YOU NEED TO MEET THE TRIALS OF 

LIFE.  YOUR OWN STRENGTH WILL FAIL YOU.  LOOK TO THE LORD 

FOR STRENGTH THAT WILL NOT FAIL.



Isaiah 40:31   PG 882

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] 

strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they 

shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and 

not faint.

TRUST GOD!  WAIT FOR HIM TO HELP YOU.  DON'T BE 

OVERWHELMED.  WHEN GOD IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR STRENGTH, YOU 

MAY GET KNOCKED DOWN, YOU MAY GET WEARY, BUT GOD WILL 

RENEW YOUR STRENGTH AND HELP YOU SOAR ABOVE YOUR PROBLEMS.



Isaiah 41:9-10  PG 883

[Thou] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and 

called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto 

thee, Thou [art] my servant; I have chosen thee, and not 

cast thee away.

Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for 

I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help 

thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my 

righteousness.

ISRAEL IS GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.  WITH ALL OF THEIR 

PERSECUTIONS OVER THE COURSE OF HISTORY IT MAY HAVE AT 

TIMES SEEMED THAT THEY WERE CURSED BY GOD.  BUT TODAY, OUR 

GENERATION IS SEEING THEM BEING REGATHERED TO THE HOMELAND 

WHICH GOD GAVE THEM.  WE SEE THEM BEING GIVEN MIRACULOUS 

MILITARY VICTORIES BY NOTHING LESS THAN GOD'S OWN HAND.  

SOON THEY WILL RECOGNIZE THEIR MESSIAH.  ISRAEL HAS 

NOTHING TO FEAR.  GOD IS WITH THEM AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT 

WILL BE FOREVER AS SOON AS THEY FINALLY RECOGNIZE THEIR 

MESSIAH.











JUL 13   ISAIAH 41, 42, 43              PG 883 - 887



Isaiah 41:11   PG 883

Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be 

ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they 

that strive with thee shall perish.

ANYBODY WHO DOES NOT LIKE THE JEWS IS IN DEEP DOODOO!  WE 

MUST SUPPORT ISRAEL AND WE MUST BLESS THE JEWS AND 

BEFRIEND THEM.



Isaiah 41:13-14  PG 883

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying 

unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will 

help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One 

of Israel.

THE JEWS DON'T HAVE IT FIGURED OUT YET BUT IT IS THEIR 

MESSIAH WHO IS HELPING THEM.  IT IS JESUS WHO IS BRINGING 

THEM HOME AND PROTECTING THEM.  WHO IS NOW SITTING AT THE 

RIGHT HAND OF GOD?  IT IS JESUS CHRIST, THE REDEEMER OF 

ALL MANKIND, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.



Isaiah 41:16   PG 883

Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, 

and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt 

rejoice in the LORD, [and] shalt glory in the Holy One of 

Israel.

MOST JEWS STILL REJECT THEIR MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST.  SOON 

THEY WILL GLORY IN JESUS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.



Isaiah 42:1-4  PG 884

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my 

soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall 

bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be 

heard in the street.

A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax 

shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto 

truth.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set 

judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his 

law.

IN ISAIAH WE FIND SOME OF THE MOST DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS 

OF JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH.  IT IS A WONDER HOW THEY CAN 

CONTINUE TO FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THEIR MESSIAH.  GOD HAS 

BLINDED THEIR EYES THAT WE GENTILES MIGHT ENTER INTO THE 

FAMILY OF GOD.  THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES ARE ALMOST 

FULFILLED AND SOON MORE AND MORE IN ISRAEL WILL BEGIN TO 

SEE JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR MESSIAH.



Isaiah 42:7-8  PG 885

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from 

the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the 

prison house.

I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I 

not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

LOOK AT THE ANSWER JESUS GAVE TO THOSE WHO JOHN THE 

BAPTIST SENT TO JESUS WHEN KING HEROD HAD JOHN LOCKED IN 

PRISON. Luke 7:19-22  And John calling [unto him] two of 

his disciples sent [them] to Jesus, saying, Art thou he 

that should come? or look we for another?  When the men 

were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us 

unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look 

we for another?  And in that same hour he cured many of 

[their] infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and 

unto many [that were] blind he gave sight.  Then Jesus 

answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what 

things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the 

lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the 

dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

JESUS RESPONDED TO JOHN'S DISCIPLES BY TELLING THEM IN NO 

UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT HE INDEED WAS THE MESSIAH. THEY HAD 

SEEN WITH THEIR OWN EYES HOW JESUS WAS DOING THE MIRACLES 

THAT ISAIAH HAD PROPHESIED THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD BE ABLE 

TO DO.  JESUS NEVER REFUSED TO RECEIVE WORSHIP.  WORSHIP 

IS DUE HIM FOR JESUS IS LORD, JESUS IS THE HOLY ONE OF 

ISRAEL.  ISAIAH IS PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF THE BIBLE TO 

RECOMMEND TO ANY JEW WHO DOES NOT KNOW JESUS.



Isaiah 43:1-3  PG 886 - 887

But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, 

and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have 

redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou 

[art] mine.

When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with 

thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow 

thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not 

be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy 

Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba 

for thee.

NO ONE BUT JESUS CAN REDEEM ANYONE FROM THE PENALTY OF 

SIN.  WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD, THERE IS NO REMISSION 

OF SIN.  THE BLOOD OF THE SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD, JESUS 

CHRIST IS REQUIRED FOR GOD TO PASSOVER US IN JUDGMENT.  

HAVE YOU BEEN REDEEMED?  DO YOU BELONG TO THE LORD?  IF 

YOU BELONG TO THE LORD YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.  WHEN WE 

PASS THROUGH THE DEEP WATERS JESUS PROMISES TO BE WITH US.  

WHEN WE WALK THROUGH THE FIERY TRIALS OF LIFE JESUS WILL 

BE WITH US JUST AS HE WAS WITH SHADRACK, MESHACK, AND 

ABEDNIGO AND WE SHALL NOT BE BURNED.  JESUS IS THE LORD.  

JESUS IS GOD.  JESUS IS THE SAVIOR.  JESUS IS THE HOLY ONE 

OF ISRAEL.



Isaiah 43:5-7  PG 887

Fear not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from 

the east, and gather thee from the west;

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep 

not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from 

the ends of the earth;

[Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have 

created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have 

made him.

WE ARE THE GENERATION TO SEE ALL OF THESE GREAT PROPHESIES 

BEING FULFILLED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.  JESUS IS BRINGING 

THE JEWS HOME.  THEY COME FROM THE SOUTH IN ETHIOPIA, FROM 

THE NORTH OUT OF RUSSIA, AND FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.  

WHEN YOU SEE ISRAEL REGATHERED AND FLOURISHING AS A NATION 

JESUS SAID TO KNOW THAT HE IS NEAR EVEN AT THE DOOR.  

THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS OUR GENERATION 

WHO WILL WITNESS THE LORD'S SECOND COMING IN POWER AND 

GREAT GLORY.  ARE YOU READY?











JUL 14   ISAIAH 43, 44, 45              PG 887 - 893



Isaiah 43:10   PG 887

Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom 

I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and 

understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God 

formed, neither shall there be after me.

WE ARE GOD'S WITNESSES AND HIS CHOSEN SERVANTS.  THERE IS 

ONLY ONE GOD.  JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD.



Isaiah 43:11   PG 887

I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no 

saviour.

JESUS IS THE LORD.  JESUS IS THE ONLY SAVIOR.  WE CANNOT 

SAVE OURSELVES.  IF JESUS DOES NOT SAVE US THEN WE WILL 

NOT BE SAVED.



Isaiah 43:12-13   PG 887

I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when 

[there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] 

my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.

Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none 

that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who 

shall let it?

GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH THE NATION 

OF ISRAEL.  WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTIONS OF LUKE AND 

HEBREWS ALL 66 BOOKS OF OUR BIBLES WERE WRITTEN BY JEWS.  

GOD DECLARED TO THESE MEN WHAT THEY WERE TO WRITE.  THE 

MIRACULOUS DELIVERANCE OF THE JEWS IS AN HISTORICAL FACT.  

WHENEVER THE NATION OF ISRAEL WAS FAITHFUL TO GOD AND HAD 

NO STRANGE GODS IN THEIR MIDST THEY COULD NOT BE DEFEATED 

BY ANY ARMY NO MATTER HOW THEY WERE OUTNUMBERED AND 

OUTGUNNED.  GOD IS STILL REVEALING HIMSELF TO THE WORLD 

THROUGH THE NATION OF ISRAEL.  ISRAEL HAS THE ONLY ARMY 

WHICH CAN NOT EVER AGAIN BE DEFEATED.  OUR GENERATION HAS 

WITNESSED THE REGATHERING AND BLOSSOMING OF THE NATION OF 

ISRAEL.  NO FORCE CAN MOVE ISRAEL OUT OF THEIR HOMELAND 

WHICH GOD GAVE THEM FOREVER AS LONG AS GOD IS ON THEIR 

SIDE.  NO ONE CAN STOP GOD FROM DOING WHATEVER HE WANTS TO 

DO AND PROPHESY MAKES IT VERY CLEAR HE INTENDS TO REGATHER 

ISRAEL TO THEIR HOMELAND AND HE DOES NOT INTEND TO LET 

ANYONE EVER AGAIN CONQUER THIS NATION.  WE ALSO SHOULD BE 

GOD'S WITNESSES TO THIS.  WATCH WHAT HAPPENS IN ISRAEL.  

TRY TO FIND WAYS TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL.  SO 

MUCH END TIMES PROPHESY RELATES TO ISRAEL.  YOU WILL NOT 

GET THE REAL NEWS YOU NEED ON T.V..



Isaiah 43:18-19  PG 888

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the 

things of old.

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; 

shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the 

wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.

A NUMBER OF THINGS ARE POSSIBLE HERE.  FIRST WE ALL NEED 

TO BE CONSCIOUS THAT WE CANNOT CHANGE THE PAST.  WE ALL 

HAVE SINNED AND WE WILL ALL DO THINGS THAT IF WE HAD THE 

CHANCE TO DO OVER WE WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY.  I LOST MY 

FAMILY.  DIVORCE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO CHRISTIANS.  YET IT 

HAPPENS AND IT IS NOT THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.  IF I HAD DONE 

THINGS DIFFERENTLY PERHAPS IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.  

TWO OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND MOST TALENTED OF GODS 

CHILDREN WILL BE SCARRED FOR LIFE BECAUSE I COULD NOT MAKE 

THE MARRIAGE WITH THEIR MOTHER WORK.  THEY HAVE NO 

EXPERIENTIAL UNDERSTANDING OF A FATHERS LOVE BECAUSE OF 

THE BROKEN FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.  IT TAKE 2 TO MAKE A 

MARRIAGE AND ONLY 1 TO MAKE A DIVORCE.  THE CHILDREN ARE 

ALWAYS THE MOST DAMAGED VICTIMS.  BEYOND THE NECESSITY OF 

FORGETTING THE PAST WHAT IS THE NEW THING THAT GOD WILL 

DO?  HE IS GOING TO MAKE A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH THAT 

SO FANTASTIC THAT NO ONE WILL EVEN THINK ABOUT THE OLD.  

HE SENT JESUS TO COMPLETE THE LAW AND MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR 

US DISPARATELY WICKED HUMANS TO UNDERSTAND LOVE AND GRACE.  

WHAT OTHER NEW THINGS CAN YOU THINK OF THAT GOD WILL DO ?



Isaiah 43:24-25  PG 888

Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast 

thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou 

hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me 

with thine iniquities.

I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions 

for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

OUR SINS ARE A BURDEN TO GOD.  WHEN WE SIN WE FRUSTRATE 

GOD.  WE BLOCK THE FLOW OF HIS GRACE TO US.  HE WANTS TO 

BLESS US AND OUR SINS BURDEN HIM BECAUSE IT OFTEN SEEMS 

THAT THE MORE HE BLESSES US THE LESS WE THINK OF HIM AND 

THE MORE WE SIN.  OUR SINS ARE TOO BIG OF A PROBLEM FOR US 

TO HANDLE.  GOD AND ONLY GOD CAN SOLVE OUR SIN PROBLEM FOR 

US.  IT IS ONLY GOD, THROUGH THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS 

CHRIST, WHO CAN BLOT OUT OUR TRANSGRESSION.  GOD, FOR HIS 

OWN SAKE, BLOTS OUR SINS.  GOD LOVES US SO MUCH.  IT 

BURDENS HIM THAT HE CANNOT BLESS US AND HAVE FELLOWSHIP 

WITH US BECAUSE OF OUR SINS.  WE CANNOT PAY THE REQUIRED 

PRICE TO TAKE AWAY ANY ONE OF OUR SINS.  SO GOD DOES IT 

FOR US, AND FOR HIS OWN SAKE HE DOES NOT REMEMBER OUR 

SINS.  WE MAY REMEMBER OUR SINS BUT GOD DOES NOT.  THE 

ONLY THING WE MUST DO IS AGREE WITH GOD THAT WE HAVE 

SINNED AND ASK HIM TO FORGIVE US.  WE ALSO MUST BE 

PREPARED TO FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN AGAINST US.  WHAT IF GOD 

EVER DID ANSWER THAT PART OF THE PRAYER WHERE WE ASK HIM 

TO "FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO 

TRESPASS AGAINST US"?  HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO PRAY THAT 

PRAYER IF WE REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT WE ARE ASKING HIM?  

THANK GOD THAT HE SOMETIMES SAYS NO TO OUR PRAYER 

REQUESTS.  IS THERE SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS HARD FOR 

YOU TO FORGIVE?  THINK ABOUT IT?





Isaiah 44:3  PG 889

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods 

upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, 

and my blessing upon thine offspring:

GOD PROMISES TO GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.  THIS COULD NOT BE 

FULFILLED UNTIL JESUS HAD SHED HIS BLOOD, BEEN RESURRECTED 

AND BE ASCENDED TO TAKE HIS GLORIFIED POSITION AT THE 

RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD THE FATHER.  THERE IS 

COMING A FUTURE FULFILLMENT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE 

POURED FORTH ON THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.  THIS WILL HAPPEN 

WHEN ALL ISRAEL IN ONE DAY WILL RECOGNIZE THEIR MESSIAH 

JESUS CHRIST.

Isaiah 44:24-26  PG 889

Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee 

from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; 

that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth 

abroad the earth by myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh 

diviners mad; that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh 

their knowledge foolish;

That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth 

the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, 

Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye 

shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places 

thereof:

GOD IS GOING TO HAVE HIS PROPHET ISAIAH SPEAK TO A KING 

NAMED CYRUS WHO HAS NOT YET BEEN BORN.  ISAIAH WILL NEED 

TO LIST A FEW OF GOD'S CREDENTIALS SO THAT THIS KING CYRUS 

WILL KNOW WHY HE MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS.  GOD IS THE MAKER 

OF ALL THINGS.  HE MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND 

EVERYTHING THAT IS CONTAINED THEREIN.  THESE ARE GOOD 

CREDENTIALS BUT PROBABLY THE ONE WHICH GOT CYRUS' 

ATTENTION IS THE FACT THAT THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 712 BC AND 

CYRUS BEGAN TO REIGN 176 YEARS LATER IN 536 BC.



Isaiah 44:28   PG 891

That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall 

perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou 

shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be 

laid.

ONLY GOD COULD KNOW CYRUS 200 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS BORN.



Isaiah 45:1-5  PG

Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right 

hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I 

will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two 

leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places 

straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and 

cut in sunder the bars of iron:

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden 

riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the 

LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of 

Israel.

For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have 

even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though 

thou hast not known me.

I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no 

God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known 

me:

GOD TELLS ISAIAH TO WRITE TO CYRUS 200 YEARS BEFORE CYRUS 

IS BORN.  HE TELLS HIM THE EXACT MEANS BY WHICH HE WILL 

CONQUER BABYLON.  GOD CAUSED THE RIVER TO DRY UP SO THAT A 

FEW OF CYRUS'S SOLDIERS COULD GO IN THE DRY RIVER BED AND 

OPEN THE BRONZE LEAF GATES OF BABYLON FROM THE INSIDE TO 

LET IN THE ARMIES OF CYRUS.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE 

CYRUS.  MOST LIKELY YOU WOULD DO WHAT CYRUS DID AND DO 

WHAT GOD TOLD YOU.



Isaiah 45:9-11  PG 892

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the 

potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall 

the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? 

or thy work, He hath no hands?

Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest 

thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his 

Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and 

concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

HERE IS ONE OF THE FEW CASES WHERE YOU WILL FIND THE KJV 

TO BE IN ERROR.  THERE SHOULD BE A "?" AT THE END OF VERSE 

11.  THE NIV, REVISED STANDARD, AND LIVING BIBLE HAVE THE 

REQUIRED "?".  I HAVE HEARD FAITH PREACHERS TRY TO SAY 

THIS VERSE TELLS US TO COMMAND GOD TO DO WHAT WE WANT HIM 

TO DO.  WOW!  WOULD YOU BUY THAT?  I HOPE NOT.  THE VERSE 

NEEDS A "?" TO MAKE IT CLEAR.  HOW DARE YOU COMMAND GOD?  

HE IS THE CREATOR AND WE ARE HIS CREATURES.  WOE TO HIM 

WHO STRIVES WITH HIS MAKER.  DOES THE CLAY DARE TO SAY TO 

THE POTTER YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT RIGHT?  WE DO NOT EVER 

DARE TO COMMAND GOD WHAT TO DO!  GOD GRACIOUSLY ACCEPTS 

OUR QUESTIONS - HE KNOWS WE CAN'T HELP THAT.  BUT NO WAY 

WILL HE ACCEPT US TRYING TO COMMAND HIM.



Isaiah 45:12-13  PG 892 - 893

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] 

my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their 

host have I commanded.

I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct 

all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go 

my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of 

hosts.

WOULD ANY KING TURN LOOSE OF MILLIONS OF SALVES FOR 

NOTHING?  YET THAT IS JUST EXACTLY WHAT CYRUS DID.  PRAISE 

THE LORD!









JUL 15   ISAIAH 46, 47, 48              PG 893 - 898



Isaiah 45:17-19  PG 893

[But] Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an 

everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor 

confounded world without end.

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God 

himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath 

established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to 

be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: 

I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I 

the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are 

right.

SOME DAY ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST 

WITH AN EVERLASTING SALVATION.  ALREADY WE SEE HOW HE IS 

REGATHERING ISRAEL FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.  WE SEE HOW HE 

IS PROTECTING THEM FROM OVERWHELMING MILITARY ODDS.  

ISRAEL CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED AGAIN.  WE ARE NEARING THE 

CONCLUSION OF HISTORY.  WHAT AN EXCITING TIME IN WHICH TO 

BE LIVING HERE ON PLANET EARTH.  GOD CREATED THE EARTH TO 

BE INHABITED.  WHEN RUSSIA LAUNCHES ITS STRATEGIC NUCLEAR 

WAR ON THE UNITED STATES TO PRECEDE ITS INVASION OF ISRAEL 

THEN GOD HIMSELF WILL WIPE OUT 5/6THS OF ALL RUSSIAN 

SOLDIERS.  WITHOUT GOD'S DIRECT INTERVENTION ALL LIFE ON 

EARTH COULD BE DESTROYED WITH TODAY'S NUCLEAR 

CAPABILITIES.  THE UNITED STATES MAY BE TOTALLY DESTROYED 

BUT GOD WILL PUT AN END TO RUSSIA WHEN SHE TRIES TO INVADE 

ISRAEL.  GOD HAS NOT TOLD US THESE THINGS IN SECRET.  HE 

DOES NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE THAT HE FIRST REVEALS HIS 

SECRETS TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.  WHAT GOD SAYS IS 

RIGHT.  WHAT GOD SAYS WILL HAPPEN - WILL HAPPEN.



Isaiah 45:23-24  PG 894

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth 

[in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me 

every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness 

and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that 

are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

GOD HAS SWORN BY HIMSELF.  THERE CAN BE NOTHING MORE 

CERTAIN THAN WHEN GOD SWEARS BY HIMSELF.  HE IS THE MOST 

HIGH.  ISAIAH IS TALKING ABOUT JESUS CHRIST.  Philippians 

2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and 

given him a name which is above every name:  That at the 

name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in 

heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the 

earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus 

Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

THERE SIMPLY IS NO OTHER WAY IN WHICH WE CAN HAVE 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  RIGHTEOUSNESS MUST BE GIVEN TO US BY GOD.  

THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS MUST HUMBLE US BECAUSE WE DON'T DESERVE 

IT.  ALL OF THE SACRIFICES WHICH GOD INSTRUCTED MOSES TO 

HAVE THE NATION OF ISRAEL OFFER WERE ONLY A SIGN AND A 

SYMBOLIC WAY TO POINT TO THE ONCE FOR ALL PERFECT 

SACRIFICE OF THE ONLY SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD ON CALVARY.  IF 

THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD HAD KNOWN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE 

CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY.  HE WHO KNEW NO SIN WAS MADE 

TO BE SIN FOR US THAT WE MIGHT BECOME RIGHTEOUS.  THE 

OFFICIAL DESIGNATED HIGH PRIEST OF ISRAEL HAD THE ONLY 

PERFECT LAMB OF GOD SLAIN ON CALVARY TO POUR OUT HIS BLOOD 

FOR THE REMISSION OF ALL SINS FOR ALL MANKIND.  TRYING TO 

FIND RIGHTEOUSNESS ANY OTHER WAY WILL TAKE YOU TO HELL.  

GOD GRANTS RIGHTEOUSNESS ONLY THRU THE BLOOD OF JESUS.  IF 

THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS APPLIED TO YOUR SINS GOD WILL PASS 

OVER YOU IN JUDGMENT.  ANY ISRAELITE WHO DID NOT APPLY THE 

BLOOD OF THE LAMB TO HIS HOUSE WAS NOT PASSED OVER AND THE 

JUDGMENT OF DEATH CAME UPON HIS HOUSE.  LIKE IT OR NOT,  

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT IS GOD'S ONLY PROVISION FOR YOU TO 

BE PASSED OVER IN JUDGMENT.  OTHERWISE THERE IS HELL TO 

PAY.



Isaiah 46:8-10  PG 895

Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring [it] again 

to mind, O ye transgressors.

Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and 

[there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like 

me,

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient 

times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My 

counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

GOD IS GOD.  BELIEVE IT OR GO TO HELL.  IT IS JUST THAT 

SIMPLE.  WE ARE ALL SINNERS.  JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR OUR 

RANSOM.  WE CAN NEVER PAY THAT PRICE OURSELVES.  ONLY GOD 

DECLARES THE END FORM THE BEGINNING.  ALL OF GOD'S 

PROPHECIES WILL COME TO PASS WITH 100% ACCURACY.  WILL YOU 

LIVE FOR GOD OR WILL YOU LIVE FOR YOURSELF?  WILL YOU DO 

IT GOD'S WAY OR WILL YOU DO IT YOUR OWN WAY?  THESE ARE 

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WHICH ALL WILL SOON ANSWER IN THE 

GREAT TRIBULATION.  GOD'S WORD WILL STAND.  GOD WILL DO 

WHAT EVER HE SAYS HE WILL AND NO ONE CAN PREVENT HIM.  WE 

ARE EITHER OUR OWN BOSS OR WE LET JESUS BE LORD OF OUR 

LIFE.  EVERYONE WILL MAKE A FINAL CHOICE DURING THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION.  ARE YOU READY?  HAVE YOU MADE THE RIGHT 

CHOICE?  THERE IS STILL TIME TO CHANGE YOUR MIND IF YOU 

HAVE NOT MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE 

READ THE ENTIRE WORD OF GOD FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION.  

DON'T DEPEND ON ANY PREACHER.  READ IT FOR YOURSELF AND 

HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVE YOU THE NECESSARY UNDERSTANDING 

OF GOD'S WORD.



Isaiah 48:9-12   PG 897

For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my 

praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have 

chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do 

[it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not 

give my glory unto another.

Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; 

I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.

ISRAEL HAS MADE GOD ANGRY.  WE HAVE ALL MADE GOD ANGRY 

WITH OUR REJECTION AND LOW REGARD FOR GOD AND GOD'S WORD.  

GOD EXPLAINS THAT IT IS FOR HIS OWN SAKE THAT HE HAS NOT 

TOTALLY DESTROYED US IN HIS ANGER.  YOU SEE HIS LOVE IS 

GREATER THAN HIS ANGER.  GOD COULD MOST CERTAINLY BE 

JUSTIFIED IN DESTROYING EVERY ONE OF US.  PRAISE GOD THAT 

HIS LOVE AND MERCY IS GREATER THAN HIS ANGER.  WE CANNOT 

BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S LOVE AND MERCY UNTIL WE BEGIN TO 

UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR US IN CHRIST JESUS.  ONE 

DAY ISRAEL WILL WAKE UP AND LOOK UPON HIM WHOM THEY HAVE 

PIERCED.  IN ONE DAY THEY WILL SEE JEHOVAH THROUGH JESUS 

CHRIST THE MESSIAH.  WHO IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA?  WHO IS 

THE BEGINNING AND THE END?  WHO IS THE FIRST AND THE LAST?

Revelation 1:1 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:

Revelation 1:3 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 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,

Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God 

and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever 

and ever. Amen.

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every 

eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and 

all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even 

so, Amen.

Revelation 1:8 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 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first 

and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and 

send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto 

Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto 

Thyatira, and unto Sardis, unto Philadelphia, and unto 

Laodicea.

Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as 

dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, 

Fear not; I am the first and the last:

Revelation 1:18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, 

behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys 

of hell and of death.

Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and 

the end, the first and the last.

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify 

unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and 

the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star.











JUL 16   ISAIAH 48, 49, 50              PG 898 - 902



Isaiah 48:17-18  PG 898

Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; 

I [am] the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, 

which leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldest go.

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had 

thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the 

waves of the sea:

IT CAN ONLY BE THE REDEEMER, JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY ONE OF 

ISRAEL, WHO CAN GIVE US THE DIRECTION WE NEED.  HE CAME TO 

FULFILL THE LAW WITH THE PERFECT LAW OF LOVE.  IF WE WOULD 

PAY ATTENTION TO HIS WAYS WE CAN HAVE PERFECT PEACE AND 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.



Isaiah 48:20   PG 898

Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a 

voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to 

the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his 

servant Jacob.

LEAVE BABYLON, FLEE FROM THE BABYLONIANS!  BABYLON WAS THE 

PLACE TO WHICH ISRAEL WAS TAKEN CAPTIVE.  IT IS VERY 

IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE WORD BABYLON IS USED IN 

SCRIPTURE TO DESCRIBE TYRANNY AND CONFUSION.  IN THEIR 

CAPTIVITY THE JEWS HAD BLENDED INTO THE BABYLONIAN 

SOCIETY.  WHEN THEY WOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY BY 

CYRUS TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND MANY WHO WOULD BE 

COMFORTABLE IN BABYLON WOULD PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY.  

THEIR HOMELAND HAD BECOME A FOREIGN LAND.  YET GOD TELLS 

THEM, AND HE TELLS US LEAVE BABYLON, FLEE THE BABYLONIANS!  

THE NEW WORLD ORDER, NEW AGE MOVEMENT, WORLD GOVERNMENT, 

GLOBAL WHATEVER, IS ANTI-CHRIST.  THIS NEW WORLD ORDER 

WILL INDEED BE THE GOVERNMENT, ECONOMIC SYSTEM, AND 

RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF ANTI-CHRIST.  ITS TRUE LEADER IS SATAN 

OR LUCIFER.  IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE UNITED STATES WILL BE 

DESTROYED BY A RUSSIAN PREEMPTIVE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR 

ATTACK.  SOME SCRIPTURES POINT TO SUCH A SCENARIO.  ISRAEL 

WILL LIKELY BE THE ONLY PLACE ON EARTH WHICH IS ABLE TO 

STAND WITH ANY DEGREE OF RELIEF FROM THE TYRANNY AND 

CONFUSION OF THE ANTI-CHRIST SYSTEM.



Isaiah 49:6-7  PG 899

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my 

servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore 

the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light 

to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the 

end of the earth.

Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, [and] his 

Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the 

nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see 

and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD 

that is faithful, [and] the Holy One of Israel, and he 

shall choose thee.

MESSIAH JESUS WAS SENT TO, AND REJECTED BY, ISRAEL.  HE IS 

THE REDEEMER OF ISRAEL AS WELL AS THE WHOLE WORLD.  HE HAS 

BEEN A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES FOR ALMOST 2000 YEARS BUT THE 

TIMES OF THE GENTILES ARE RAPIDLY COMING TO AN END.  YET 

ISRAEL REMAINS GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.



Isaiah 49:14-16  PG 900

But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath 

forgotten me.

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not 

have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may 

forget, yet will I not forget thee.

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of [my] hands; 

thy walls [are] continually before me.

IN ITS MANY AFFLICTIONS ISRAEL HAS SAID THAT THE LORD HAS 

FORSAKEN THEM.  GOD VERY EMPHATICALLY SAYS NO.  IT WOULD 

BE MUCH MORE LIKELY FOR A WOMAN TO FORGET HER NURSING BABY 

THAN FOR GOD TO FORGET OR FORSAKE ISRAEL.  GOD LOVES 

ISRAEL AND WE HAD BETTER LOVE THE JEWS TOO!  WE MUST TAKE 

THE SIDE OF ISRAEL OR WE STAND AGAINST GOD.  THE CHRISTIAN 

MUST TAKE STRONG STANDS AGAINST ANY FORM OF ANTI-SEMITISM.



Isaiah 50:1-2  PG 901

Thus saith the LORD, Where [is] the bill of your mother's 

divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my 

creditors [is it] to whom I have sold you? Behold, for 

your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your 

transgressions is your mother put away.

Wherefore, when I came, [was there] no man? when I called, 

[was there] none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, 

that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? 

behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a 

wilderness: their fish stinketh, because [there is] no 

water, and dieth for thirst.

GOD MAKES IT CLEAR WHY ISRAEL HAS BEEN AFFLICTED.  IT IS 

BECAUSE OF THEIR NATIONAL SIN.  THE GREATEST OF THEIR 

NATIONAL SINS WAS THE REJECTION OF THEIR MESSIAH.  THIS 

MUST, AND SOME DAY WILL, CHANGE.  EVERYONE WILL RECOGNIZE 

MESSIAH JESUS WHEN HE COMES THIS TIME.



Isaiah 50:5-10  PG 901 -902

The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not 

rebellious, neither turned away back.

I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that 

plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and 

spitting.

For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be 

confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and 

I know that I shall not be ashamed.

[He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? 

let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him 

come near to me.

Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who [is] he [that] 

shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; 

the moth shall eat them up.



Who [is] among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the 

voice of his servant, that walketh [in] darkness, and hath 

no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay 

upon his God.

HERE IS ANOTHER OF ISAIAH'S WORD PICTURES OF JESUS.  

ENCOURAGE YOUR JEWISH FRIENDS TO STUDY THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.  

THIS IS THE BOOK OF THE JEWS WHICH IS MOST LIKELY TO HELP 

THEM RECOGNIZE THEIR MESSIAH.  IF YOUR JEWISH FRIEND WERE 

TO BE TOTALLY HONEST HE WOULD ADMIT TO A CERTAIN DARKNESS 

OR LACK OF MEANING WITHIN HIS FAITH.  ISAIAH IS HIS BOOK 

WHICH CAN HELP HIM FINALLY FIGURE OUT THE NAME OF HIS 

LORD, AND BRING LIGHT TO ALL THE DARK CORNERS OF HIS 

FAITH.











JUL 18   ISAIAH 54, 55, 56                PG 908 -911



Isaiah 54:9-10  PG 908

For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I 

have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over 

the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with 

thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; 

but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall 

the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that 

hath mercy on thee.

GOD IS RENEWING HIS COVENANT WITH ISRAEL AS HE DID WITH 

NOAH AFTER THE FLOOD.  THE JEWS ARE BEING REGATHERED FROM 

THEIR AFFLICTION AND THE DISPERSION TO THEIR HOMELAND.  

THE KINDNESS OF GOD IS EASILY SEEN IN ISRAEL TODAY.  

ISRAEL IS ESTABLISHED FOREVER AND GOD'S KINDNESS AND MERCY 

TO ISRAEL WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE EVIDENT TO THE WORLD 

NO MATTER HOW THE NEWS IS MANIPULATED AND BLACKED OUT BY 

SATAN.



Isaiah 54:14-15   PG 908 - 909

In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be 

far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from 

terror; for it shall not come near thee.

Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by 

me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall 

fall for thy sake.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AND HOW YOU GET IT?  NO 

ONE IS RIGHTEOUS BUT GOD.  IF WE ARE HONEST WE WILL ALL 

ADMIT THAT WE ARE SINNERS.  SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS STINKS TO 

HIGH HEAVEN.  RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN ONLY COME FROM GOD BECAUSE 

ONLY GOD IS TRULY RIGHTEOUS.  ONLY GOD HAS TRUE 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IN AND OF HIMSELF.  RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GIVEN 

TO MEN WHEN GOD DECLARES THEIR SINS COVERED AND FORGIVEN.  

GOD CAN EVEN FORGET THAT THE SINS WERE EVER COMMITTED.  

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T DO BUT GOD CAN DO.  

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE RESULT OF GOD COVERING, AND 

REMITTING, AND FORGETTING OUR SINS.  WE CAN ONLY STAY 

RIGHTEOUS WITH GOD'S HELP.  HOW WILL ISRAEL BE ESTABLISHED 

IN RIGHTEOUSNESS?  WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS 

NO REMISSION OF SINS.  ISRAEL HAS NOT HAD BLOOD SACRIFICES 

SINCE THEY WERE DISPERSED IN 70AD.  WILL THEY REBUILD THE 

TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM?  PROBABLY THEY WILL.   BUT THIS WILL 

NOT BRING THEM RIGHTEOUSNESS ANY MORE THAN IT EVER DID.  

YET THEY WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.  HOW?  AN 

EARTHQUAKE OCCURRED IN 33 AD IN JERUSALEM.  THIS 

EARTHQUAKE TORE THE VEIL WHICH SEPARATED ALL BUT THE HIGH 

PRIEST ONCE A YEAR FROM GOD'S PRESENCE.  GOD USED THAT 

EARTHQUAKE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THEIR SEPARATION FROM HIM 

DID NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE UNLESS THEY WANTED TO BE 

SEPARATED FROM HIM.  THE FINAL BLOOD SACRIFICE, TO WHICH 

ALL PREVIOUS BLOOD SACRIFICES OF ISRAEL HAD SYMBOLICALLY 

POINTED, HAD JUST BEEN COMPLETED.  THE ONLY PERFECT AND 

ACCEPTABLE LAMB OF GOD HAD JUST BEEN SLAIN BY THE HIGH 

PRIEST.  THE LAMB'S BLOOD HAD JUST BEEN SHED TO COVER THE 

SINS OF ALL HUMANKIND FOR ALL TIME.  GOD WAS OFFERING 

RIGHTEOUSNESS TO ALL.  ONCE THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD HAD 

BEEN SLAIN AND GOD HIMSELF HAD TORN DOWN THE VEIL OF 

SEPARATION THE IMPERFECT SACRIFICES BECAME SUCH AN 

ABOMINATION TO GOD THAT HE BROUGHT THE ARMY OF ROME UNDER 

TITUS TO DESTROY THE TEMPLE AND DISPERSE ISRAEL IN 70AD.  

NOW GOD IS REGATHERING ISRAEL.  NEVER AGAIN WILL GOD BRING 

AN ENEMY AGAINST ISRAEL.  NOW ISRAEL'S ENEMIES ARE GOD'S 

ENEMIES.  ANY ENEMY THAT COMES AGAINST ISRAEL NOW WILL BE 

AGAINST GOD HIMSELF AND WILL SURELY BE DEFEATED BY GOD.  

ISRAEL HAS NOT FOUND RIGHTEOUSNESS YET.  BUT THEY WILL 

SOON.



Isaiah 54:17    PG 909

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 

every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment 

thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants 

of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the 

LORD.

WE ARE THE GENERATION TO SEE THE FULFILLMENT OF THIS 

PROPHESY.  HOW ABOUT THE 92 TO 0 AIR TO AIR COMBAT VICTORY 

OF ISRAEL?  IN 1982 SYRIA SENT ITS 200 MIGS AGAINST THE 

130 PLANES OF ISRAEL.  SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN OFF A 

LUCKY SHOT FOR SYRIA.  EVEN A FOOL OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO SEE 

THAT SUCH VICTORIES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY LIKE IT 

SINCE 1963, MEAN THAT WE ARE SEEING THIS PROPHESY BEING 

FULFILLED BEFORE OUR EYES.  NO MATTER HOW THE NEWS IS 

BLACKED OUT AND MANIPULATED BY THE MEDIA AND THE PRINCE OF 

THE POWER OF THE AIR, THE TRUTH OF GOD NOW STANDING WITH 

ISRAEL CANNOT BE SUPPRESSED.  THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES 

HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.  ISRAEL HAS NOT YET FOUND THEIR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  ANY JEW WHO IS HUNGERING AND THIRSTING FOR 

THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL FIND IT SOON.  ALL THEY NEED TO DO 

IS TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THEIR MESSIAH.  DO YOU KNOW THE 

NAME AND IDENTITY OF THE MESSIAH?



Isaiah 55  PG 909 - 910

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and 

he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, 

buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? 

and your labour for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken 

diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and 

let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul 

shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with 

you, [even] the sure mercies of David.

Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a 

leader and commander to the people.

Behold, thou shalt call a nation [that] thou knowest not, 

and nations [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee 

because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of 

Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him 

while he is near:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man 

his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he 

will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will 

abundantly pardon.

For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] 

your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my 

ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your 

thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and 

returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh 

it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the 

sower, and bread to the eater:

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it 

shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish 

that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] 

whereto I sent it.   

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: 

the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you 

into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap 

[their] hands.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and 

instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it 

shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign 

[that] shall not be cut off.

HOW I PRAY THAT OUR JEWISH FRIENDS COULD HEAR THE CALL OF 

MESSIAH FROM THE 55TH CHAPTER OF ISAIAH.   THE MESSIAH IS 

CALLING TO ALL HUMANKIND.  ARE YOU HUNGERING AND THIRSTING 

FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS?  IT IS FREE.  GOD WANTS TO GIVE IT TO 

YOU.  YOU CAN'T BUY IT.  YOU CAN'T EARN IT.  ONLY GOD CAN 

GIVE IT TO YOU.  WHY DO YOU WORK SO HARD FOR THAT WHICH 

DOES NOT SATISFY YOU, SAYS THE MESSIAH.  COME TO YOUR 

MESSIAH AND YOU SHALL HAVE IT ALL.  LISTEN TO YOUR 

MESSIAH.  THE MESSIAH IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.  DO YOU 

KNOW HIM?  DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME?  HOW CAN YOU SEEK HIM IF 

YOU DON'T KNOW HIS NAME?  HE HAS MANY TITLES SUCH AS KING 

OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS, ANGEL OF THE LORD, PRINCE OF 

PEACE.  SEEK HIM WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND.  HE WAITS SO 

PATIENTLY FOR YOU TO FIND HIM.  HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON 

FORGIVING ALL OF YOURS SINS, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.  HE 

IS COMING SOON AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM.  BUT I MUST 

WARN YOU THAT IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND HIM AND COME TO KNOW 

HIM BEFORE HE RETURNS IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY IT WILL BE 

TOO LATE.  SEEK HIM WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND.  GET RID OF 

YOUR RELIGION AND GET A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MESSIAH.

MEMORIZE ISAIAH 55:11.  So shall my word be that goeth 

forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, 

but shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall 

prosper in the thing whereunto I have sent it.  NEVER HOLD 

BACK FROM SPEAKING SCRIPTURE.  GOD'S WORD IS POWERFUL AND 

WILL NEVER RETURN VOID.  GOD WILL CAUSE HIS WORD TO WORK 

WHAT GOD WILLS IN ANY SITUATION.  THINK WHAT THIS IMPLIES.











JUL 19   ISAIAH 57, 58, 59                PG 911 -916



Isaiah 57:1-2   PG 911

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: 

and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that 

the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, 

[each one] walking [in] his uprightness.

THE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE DIE TO SPARE THEM FROM EVIL.  THE 

RIGHTEOUS ENTER PEACE, REST, AND JOY UNSPEAKABLE WITH THE 

LORD WHEN THEY DIE.  ARE YOU RIGHTEOUS?  DO YOU KNOW HOW 

TO BECOME RIGHTEOUS?  DO YOU KNOW HOW TO STAY RIGHTEOUS?



Isaiah 57:11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, 

that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid 

[it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, 

and thou fearest me not?

IT IS TRUE THAT IN OUR TIMES OF TROUBLE AND DISASTER IS 

WHEN WE TURN TO THE LORD MOST EARNESTLY.  IT WOULD BE MUCH 

BETTER TO GO TO HIM WITH JOY AND PRAISE.



Isaiah 57:13    PG 912

When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the 

wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: 

but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the 

land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;

PUTTING TRUST IN ANYTHING OR ANYONE OTHER THAN THE LORD 

WILL LEAD TO DISAPOINTMENT.   ONLY GOD IS WORTHY OF OUR 

TRUST.



Isaiah 57:15   PG 912

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth 

eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and 

holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and 

humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to 

revive the heart of the contrite ones.

GOD WILL ALWAYS REACH DOWN TO PICK US UP WHEN WE HUMBLE 

OURSELVES BEFORE HIM AND CONFESS OUR WEAKNESS AND SIN.  ON 

THE OTHER HAND IF WE ARE PUFFED UP AND DO NOT RECOGNIZE 

THAT HE IS THE ONE BLESSING US AND NOT WE OURSELVES HE 

WILL JUST AS SURELY LET US GET HUMBLED.



Isaiah 57:17-19  PG 913

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and 

smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on 

frowardly in the way of his heart.

I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him 

also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that 

is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; 

and I will heal him.

WHEN WE COVET WHAT OUR NEIGHBOR HAS IN STEAD OF PRAISING 

GOD FOR BLESSING OUR NEIGHBOR IT MAKES GOD ANGRY.  GOD 

WILL HEAL US ALL AND GIVE US PEACE.  PRAISE THE LORD!



Isaiah 58:5-7  PG 913 - 914

Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to 

afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a 

bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? 

wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the 

LORD?

[Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the 

bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let 

the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

[Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou 

bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou 

seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide 

not thyself from thine own flesh?

WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLEASE GOD?  DO WHAT PLEASES HIM AND 

KEEP IT JUST BETWEEN YOU AND GOD SO THAT GOD GETS THE 

PRAISE.  WHAT DOES GOD NEED FORM US?  NOTHING!  YET IF YOU 

REALLY WANT TO PLEASE GOD HERE IS THE KEY - FIND SOMEONE 

IN NEED AND HELP THEM.  PERHAPS SOMEONE IS PRAYING RIGHT 

NOW BECAUSE THEY NEED HELP WITH SOMETHING.  HOW GREAT IS 

IT IF YOU BECOME THE INSTRUMENT BY WHICH GOD ANSWERS THAT 

PRAYER.  THAT PLEASES GOD.  SHARING YOU FOOD WITH THOSE 

WHO ARE HUNGRY.  SHARING YOUR MONEY WITH THOSE WHO HAVE A 

REAL NEED WHICH THEY CANNOT AFFORD.  THIS IS FANTASTIC.    

HELPING OTHERS WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE IS THE WAY TO PLEASE 

GOD.  CONCERNING YOURSELF WITH THE NEEDS OF OTHERS IS THE 

WAY TO FREEDOM FROM YOUR OWN CONCERNS.  LISTEN TO WHAT 

HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONCERN YOURSELF WITH THE NEEDS OF OTHERS 

-

Isaiah 58:8-11  PG 914

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine 

health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness 

shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy 

rereward.

Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou 

shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take 

away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of 

the finger, and speaking vanity;

And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy 

the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in 

obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noon day:

And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy 

soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be 

like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose 

waters fail not.

YOU SHALL HAVE STRENGTH, HEALTH, JOY, AND PROTECTION FROM 

GOD.  WHEN YOU CALL OUT TO GOD, GOD WILL SAY HERE I AM.  

IF WE CARRY THE BURDENS OF OTHERS GOD CARRIES OUR BURDENS.  

IF WE ARE COMPASSIONATE WE FIND GOD'S COMPASSION.  THE 

MORE WE ARE CONCERNED FOR OTHERS THE MORE GOD WILL MAKE 

OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.  GOD WILL GUIDE US CONTINUALLY.  

HE WILL CAUSE US TO RIDE ON THE HIGH PLACES AND BLESS US 

BEYOND ALL OUR NEEDS.





Isaiah 59:1-2    PG 914

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot 

save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

But your iniquities have separated between you and your 

God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he 

will not hear.

GOD HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER TO GIVE VICTORY IN ANY 

SITUATION.  IT IS ONLY OUR SINS WHICH PUT GOD AT A 

DISTANCE.  WE SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM GOD.  IF WE WILL 

CONFESS OUR SINS TO HIM, HE WANTS TO FORGIVE US MORE THAN 

WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN.  SOMETIMES WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO 

PRAY AS WE OUGHT TO PRAY.  SOMETIMES WE HAVE CONFESSED ALL 

OF OUR SINS.  WHAT THEN?  PRAISE GOD EVEN WHEN YOU CAN'T.  

PRAISE GOD EVEN IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.  IF YOUR SINS 

ARE CONFESSED START READING THE PSALMS AND MAKE THEM YOUR 

PRAISES TO GOD WHEN YOU FEEL TOO OVERWHELMED TO MUSTER UP 

PRAISES AND THANKSGIVING FROM WITHIN YOURSELF.  GOD 

INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE AND IT IS ONLY 

UNCONFESSED SIN WHICH WILL KEEP GOD AT A DISTANCE.



Isaiah 59:16-17  PG 915 - 916

And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that 

[there was] no intercessor: therefore his arm brought 

salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained 

him.

For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an 

helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the 

garments of vengeance [for] clothing, and was clad with 

zeal as a cloak.

WHEN THE APOSTLE PAUL TAUGHT THE EPHESIANS ABOUT THE WHOLE 

ARMOUR OF GOD HE TOOK THE HELMET OF SALVATION AND THE 

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM RIGHT HERE.  WHAT ARE 

THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD?  Ephesians 

6:13-17 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and 

having done all, to stand.

:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with 

truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel 

of peace;

:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye 

shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the 

Spirit, which is the word of God:





Isaiah 59:19-20  PG 916

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and 

his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall 

come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up 

a standard against him.

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that 

turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

ARE YOU READY?   THE REDEEMER IS COMING.











JUL 20   ISAIAH 60, 61, 62, 63, 64        PG 916 - 923



Isaiah 60:1-3  PG 916

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the 

LORD is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross 

darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, 

and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the 

brightness of thy rising.

THERE IS GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE TIMES OF THE 

GENTILES HAVE BEEN FULFILLED BECAUSE OF THE MIGHTY THINGS 

GOD IS AGAIN DOING IN ISRAEL.  THE WORLD AS A WHOLE IS 

SWIFTLY MOVING TO A NEW DARK AGE OR A NEW BABYLONIAN WORLD 

ORDER OF TYRANNY AND CONFUSION.  IN SUCH WORLD DARKNESS 

THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LORD AND HIS GLORY WILL BE SEEN IN 

ISRAEL.



Isaiah 60:12   PG 917

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall 

perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

WOE TO THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY THAT IS NOT 

ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL.  GOD IS ON ISRAEL'S SIDE AND ANY 

NATION THAT IS AGAINST ISRAEL IS AGAINST GOD.  THOSE 

NATIONS SHALL BE UTTERLY DESTROYED.



Isaiah 60:18   PG 917

Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor 

destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy 

walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

IT WILL BE THE RETURN OF MESSIAH JESUS OF NAZARETH WHICH 

BRINGS THIS TO FULFILLMENT.



Isaiah 61:1-3  PG 918

The spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD 

hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he 

hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim 

liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to 

[them that are] bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day 

of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them 

beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment 

of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be 

called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, 

that he might be glorified.

THEY TRIED TO KILL JESUS WHEN HE PREACHED THIS ONE SABBATH 

DAY IN HIS HOME TOWN SYNAGOGUE IN NAZARETH - Luke 4:18 The 

Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed 

me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to 

heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the 

captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at 

liberty them that are bruised,

Luke 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Luke 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again 

to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them 

that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

Luke 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this 

scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Luke 4:28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard 

these things, were filled with wrath,

Luke 4:29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and 

led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was 

built, that they might cast him down headlong.

Luke 4:30 But he passing through the midst of them went 

his way,

THE LAMB OF GOD HAD MORE WORK TO DO AND THE HIGH PRIEST 

WAS NOT IN THE CONGREGATION SO HE JUST WALKED RIGHT 

THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE MOB AND THEY COULDN'T TOUCH HIM.



Isaiah 63:7-9  PG 921

I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, [and] the 

praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath 

bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of 

Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his 

mercies, and according to the multitude of his 

lovingkindnesses.

For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that] 

will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of 

his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he 

redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the 

days of old.

IT HAS GRIEVED GOD TO HAVE TO AFFLICT HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE 

FOR THEIR REJECTION OF HIM.  YET WE SEE HIS LOVE FOR 

ISRAEL BEING DEMONSTRATED TODAY.  HE IS BRINGING ISRAEL 

HOME FROM THEIR DISPERSION.  HE HAS MADE THEIR ARMY 

INVINCIBLE.  ISRAEL WILL NOT REJECT THEIR MESSIAH WHEN HE 

COMES THIS TIME.  JESUS WILL SAVE ISRAEL FROM ALL OF THE 

ARMIES OF ANTI-CHRIST WHICH WILL GATHER IN MEGIDDO.  IN 

ONE DAY ALL ISRAEL WILL GET IT.  ALL ISRAEL WILL KNOW 

THEIR MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST.  HE WILL SAVE THEM.  HE IS 

WORKING IT OUT RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.  WOULD IT NOT BE 

GLORIOUS TO BE IN ISRAEL AND BE ABLE TO SEE FIRST HAND THE 

JOY THAT WILL BREAK FORTH AS MORE AND MORE JEWS BEGIN TO 

RECOGNIZE THEIR MESSIAH.



Isaiah 64:6   PG 922

But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our 

righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade 

as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken 

us away.

THIS IS SO HARD FOR US TO ACCEPT.  WE ARE ALL UNCLEAN.  WE 

ARE ALL SINNERS.  THERE IS NO WAY ANY OF US COULD DO 

ENOUGH GOOD WORKS TO MAKE UP FOR ANY SINS.  ALL OF OUR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A STINKING FILTHY MESS TO GOD.  SELF 

RIGHTEOUSNESS STINKS.  RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN ONLY COME AS A 

GIFT TO US FROM GOD.  ONLY GOD CAN GIVE US WHAT IT TAKES 

TO BE RIGHTEOUS.  THE BAD NEWS OF THIS TRUTH FINALLY MUST 

CAUSE US TO CRY OUT - HOW CAN WE BE SAVED?  THEN COMES THE 

GOOD NEWS THAT JESUS CHRIST THE MESSIAH, THE HOLY ONE OF 

ISRAEL, THE ONLY TRULY PERFECT SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD HAS 

PAID THE FULL PRICE FOR US ALL.  PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!!

DO YOU GET IT?  HAVE YOU GOT IT?  ARE ALL OF YOUR SINS, 

PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB 

SO THAT GOD IS FREE TO PASS OVER YOU IN JUDGMENT?



Isaiah 64:7   PG 922

And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that 

stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast 

hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our 

iniquities.

THIS IS STILL THE APPARENT CONDITION IN ISRAEL.  BUT IT IS 

CHANGING.  IN ONE DAY THEY WILL ALL CALL UPON HIS NAME.  

IN ONE DAY THEY WILL ALL KNOW IT IS JESUS WHO IS BOTH LORD 

AND MESSIAH.



Isaiah 64:8   PG 923

But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, 

and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy 

hand.

IF JESUS IS NOT LORD OF ALL HE IS NOT LORD AT ALL.  WHAT 

IS IT THAT I NEED TO SURRENDER IN MY LIFE TO HIS LORDSHIP?  

THE SOONER I CAN BE LIKE CLAY BEING FORMED IN THE MASTER'S 

SKILLFUL HANDS THE BETTER.  WHY DO I DO THINGS MY WAY 

INSTEAD OF THE LORD'S WAY?  WHY DO I RESIST HIS MOLDING ME 

INTO SOMETHING USEFUL AND PLEASING TO HIM?



JUL 21   ISAIAH 65, 66, 2 CHRON. 19       PG 923 - 928

Isaiah 65:1-2   PG 923

I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am found 

of [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold 

me, unto a nation [that] was not called by my name.

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious 

people, which walketh in a way [that was] not good, after 

their own thoughts;

GOD EXPLAINS WHY ISRAEL AND JUDAH ARE GOING TO BE JUDGED 

AND GO INTO THE CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON.  IF HE DID JUDGE 

ISRAEL WITH GREAT AFFLICTION, WHAT MAKES AMERICANS THINK 

WE ARE NOT ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH GOD'S JUDGMENT.  ARE 

WE NOT A REBELLIOUS PEOPLE.  REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF 

WITCHCRAFT.  THE YOUNG PEOPLE BRAG OF THEIR REBELLION AS 

THOUGH IT IS A VIRTUE.  THIS NATION WALKS IN A WAY NOT 

GOOD.  POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN THIS CORRUPT NATION IS 

ANTICHRIST AND DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO GOD'S PRINCIPLES.  

EVERYONE WALKS AFTER THEIR OWN THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE NO 

PLACE FOR GOD AND HIS PRINCIPLES.  GET READY FOR JUDGMENT.



Isaiah 65:5   PG 923

Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am 

holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire 

that burneth all the day.

THIS MAY BE THE MOST OFFENSIVE AND OBNOXIOUS OF SINS.  

"STAY AWAY FROM ME - I AM HOLIER THAN YOU ARE."  WOW, HOW 

REPULSIVE THIS MUST BE TO GOD.  WE ARE ALL SINNERS.  ALL 

OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY RAGS TO GOD.  THE TRUE MARK 

OF HOLINESS IS THE REALIZATION OF THE DESPERATE WICKEDNESS 

WHICH EVERYONE HIDES DEEPLY IN THEIR INNERMOST BEING.  GOD 

LOVES THE UNLOVABLE.  I AM LIVING PROOF OF THIS.  I WILL 

REACH OUT TO THE OUTCAST.  EVERYONE IS MORE HOLY THAN I.  

HOLY PEOPLE, WHO THINK THEY ARE HOLY, STINK TO HIGH 

HEAVEN.



Isaiah 65:11-12  PG 924

But ye [are] they that forsake the LORD, that forget my 

holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and 

that furnish the drink offering unto that number.

Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all 

bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did 

not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil 

before mine eyes, and did choose [that] wherein I 

delighted not.

GOD IS CALLING AMERICA.  WILL AMERICA HEAR?  WILL AMERICA 

REPENT?  WILL THIS NATION WHICH WAS FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY 

OF GOD AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION 

CONTINUE ITS COLLISION COURSE WITH GOD'S JUDGMENT?  GOD IS 

CALLING.  THE GREATEST SLAUGHTER OF ALL TIME IS IMMINENT.  

GOD IS CALLING.  WILL YOU ANSWER?  WILL YOU CONTINUE GOING 

YOUR OWN WAY?  WILL YOU IGNORE THE CALL OF GOD.





Isaiah 65:17-18  PG 924 - 925

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the 

former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I 

create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and 

her people a joy.

GOD HAS PROMISED A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH THAT IS SO 

FANTASTIC THAT NO ONE WILL EVEN REMEMBER THIS OLD EARTH.  

ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A PLACE IN THIS FANTASTIC NEW HEAVEN 

AND NEW EARTH?  IN THIS NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH IS ONLY 

GLADNESS AND JOY AND REJOICING FOR EVER.  I WANT TO SEE 

YOUR FACE THERE.  DO YOU WANT TO SEE ME THERE?



Isaiah 65:24   PG 925

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will 

answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion 

shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust [shall be] the 

serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my 

holy mountain, saith the LORD.

BEFORE THEY CALL, I WILL ANSWER - SAYS THE LORD.  GOD 

WANTS TO FORGIVE MORE THAN WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN.  HOW 

MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN GOD GIVE US ANSWERS BEFORE WE EVEN 

HAD SENSE ENOUGH TO ASK FOR HIS HELP.  WHEN IT COMES TO 

FORGIVENESS HE IS ALWAYS READY TO ANSWER BEFORE WE EVEN 

ASK.  THERE COMES A TIME WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.  BUT UNTIL 

THAT TIME, BEFORE WE CALL TO HIM FOR FORGIVENESS, HE WANTS 

TO FORGIVE.  AND EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FORGET 

- HE CAN AND DOES.  PRAISE THE LORD!  SUCH A FANTASTIC NEW 

HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH IS AVAILABLE IF WE CAN BE FORGIVEN 

AND LEARN TO BE FORGIVING.



Isaiah 66:1-2  PG 925

Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the 

earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye 

build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?

For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those 

[things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will 

I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite 

spirit, and trembleth at my word.

GOD IS SO MAGNIFICENT AND POWERFUL.  ONLY GOD IS WORTHY OF 

THE WORD AWESOME.  HOW SAD IT IS TO HEAR YOUNG PEOPLE 

DEBASE THIS WORD WHICH IS ONLY FITTING FOR THE DESCRIPTION 

OF GOD AND HIS ATTRIBUTES.  THIS ONLY TRULY AWESOME GOD 

LOOKS AFTER THE POOR.  THIS AWESOME GOD LOOKS FOR THE MEEK 

AND HUMBLE WHOSE HEART IS REPENTANT.  THIS AWESOME GOD 

LOOKS FOR THOSE WHO TAKE HIS WORDS SO SERIOUSLY THAT THEY 

TREMBLE ONLY AT THE THOUGHT OF HIS AWESOME POWER AND HOW 

THEY HAVE VIOLATED HIS WORD.



Isaiah 66:4   PG 926

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their 

fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; 

when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before 

mine eyes, and chose [that] in which I delighted not.

GOD HAS BEEN CALLING.  HAVE YOU ANSWERED?  HAVE YOU EVEN 

HEARD HIM CALL?  IF YOU HAVE NOT ANSWERED HIS CALL YOU 

WILL HAVE MUCH TO FEAR.  YOUR FEARS WILL COME UPON YOU IF 

YOU WILL NOT HEAR GOD.



Isaiah 66:8  PG 926

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? 

Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] 

shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion 

travailed, she brought forth her children.

ISRAEL WAS BORN AGAIN IN ONE DAY IN 1948.  GOD IS 

REGATHERING THEM HOME FROM THE FAR CORNERS OF THE WORLD.  

NEVER AGAIN WILL GOD BE SENDING A NATION AGAINST THEM TO 

JUDGE THEM AND AFFLICT THEM.  GOD IS ON THE SIDE OF 

ISRAEL.  ANY PERSON NOW OR ANY NATION NOW WHO STANDS 

AGAINST ISRAEL STANDS AGAINST GOD.  IF YOU ARE NOT 

ISRAEL'S SIDE YOU ARE NOT ON GOD'S SIDE.  DO YOU LOVE THE 

JEWS?  IF NOT PRAY FOR GOD TO CHANGE YOUR HEART NOW!



Isaiah 66:10   PG 926

Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye 

that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn 

for her:

REJOICE AT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN ISRAEL.  PRAY FOR THE 

PEACE OF JERUSALEM.  DO NOT SUPPORT ANY POLITICAL LEADER 

WHO OPPOSES ISRAEL.  TO OPPOSE ISRAEL TODAY IS TO OPPOSE 

GOD.  FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ISRAEL.  PRAISE GOD 

FOR THE MIRACLES HE IS PREFORMING IN ISRAEL.



Isaiah 66:22  PG 927

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will 

make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall 

your seed and your name remain.

THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH WHICH GOD MAKES WILL LAST 

FOREVER.  IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE?  

ARE THE NAMES OF YOUR CHILDREN WRITTEN IN THE LAMBS BOOK 

OF LIFE?  THIS IS SO VERY IMPORTANT AS WE CONTINUE ON THIS 

COLLISION COURSE WITH GOD'S JUDGMENT.  WILL YOU BE BOLD TO 

SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF THE ABUNDANT, ETERNAL 

LIFE WHICH JESUS CHRIST CONTINUES TO OFFER?  THE TIME IS 

SHORT.  WILL WE STAND UP AND BE BOLD FOR JESUS?



II Chronicles 33:12-13  PG 928

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his 

God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his 

fathers,  And prayed unto him: and he was entreated of 

him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to 

Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the 

LORD he [was] God.

JUDAH'S MOST WICKED KING REPENTED AND WAS FORGIVEN.  NO 

ONE CAN BE SO WICKED THAT GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE THEM.  TO 

DIE REJECTING JESUS IS THE ONLY UNPARDONABLE SIN.  FORGIVE 

AND BE FORGIVEN.  JESUS LOVES YOU AND SO DO I.

JUL 22   NAHUM                            PG 929 - 933



Nahum 1:1   PG 929

The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the 

Elkoshite.

NAHUM'S LITTLE BOOK IS SELDOM GIVEN MUCH CONSIDERATION.  

IT IS A PROPHESY AGAINST NINEVEH.  MAYBE IT IS TIME TO 

TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THIS LITTLE BOOK.  NINEVEH IS THE 

CAPITOL OF BABYLON.  REMEMBER, IN SCRIPTURE, BABYLON MEANS 

TYRANNY AND CONFUSION.  SUPPOSE THAT THE PRESENT CAPITOL 

OF TYRANNY AND CONFUSION IS AMERICA.  WHAT COUNTRY NOW IS 

LEADING THE WAY TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER OF TYRANNY AND 

CONFUSION TO BE HEADED BY THE ANTICHRIST?



Nahum 1:2-3   PG 929

God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD 

revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance 

on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his 

enemies.

The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power, and will 

not at all acquit [the wicked]: the LORD hath his way in 

the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds [are] the 

dust of his feet.

NAHUM SAYS IT THRICE - THE LORD REVENGES.  THE LORD WILL 

HAVE THE LAST WORD.  THE LORD WILL TAKE FINAL VENGEANCE.  

DO YOU SUPPOSE THE LORD IS FURIOUS REGARDING THE NATIONAL 

SINS OF AMERICA?  JUST BECAUSE THE LORD IS SO VERY MUCH 

SLOWER TO ANGER THAN WE ARE, WE CANNOT THINK HIS PATIENCE 

MEANS THERE WILL NOT BE JUDGMENT.



Nahum 1:7   PG 929 -930

The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; 

and he knoweth them that trust in him.

WHEN GOD'S JUDGMENT FALLS ONLY GOD CAN PROVIDE REFUGE.  

WHATEVER ELSE YOU TRUST WILL DO YOU NO GOOD IN JUDGMENT.



Nahum 1:9   PG 930

What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter 

end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

ARE YOU AGAINST GOD IN ANY AREA OF YOUR LIFE OR THOUGHTS?  

GOD WILL BRING THIS TO AN UTTER END.



Nahum 1:11  PG 930

There is [one] come out of thee, that imagineth evil 

against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.

IN RECENT HISTORY WE SAW A MAN NAMED HITLER WHO FIT THIS 

DESCRIPTION.  THE WORLD STAGE NOW IS SET FOR THE 

ANTICHRIST.  HIS NEW WORLD ORDER IS MUCH MORE SEVERE THAN 

HITLER'S.  KNOW FOR SURE THAT WORLD GOVERNMENT BEFORE THE 

RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST WILL BE HEADED BY SATAN, THE 

ANTICHRIST, AND HIS FALSE PROPHET.



Nahum 3:4   PG 932

Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the 

wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that 

selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families 

through her witchcrafts.

WHO IS IT THAT NAHUM IS TALKING ABOUT HERE?  TODAY I 

BELIEVE HE IS TALKING ABOUT AMERICA.  THIS DOES NOT MEAN 

THAT I DO NOT LOVE MY COUNTRY.  I AM GRIEVING OVER WHAT IT 

HAS BECOME.  THE WELLFAVOURED HARLOT, THE RICHEST NATION 

IN THE WORLD, IN OUTWARD APPEARANCE, FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY 

OF GOD WHICH NOW HOLDS THE BANNER OF ANTICHRIST HIGHER 

THAN RUSSIA.  THE MISTRESS OF WITCHCRAFTS, LEADING THE 

WORLD IN WIVES REBELLING AGAINST THE GOD GIVEN AUTHORITY 

OF THEIR HUSBANDS.  LEADING THE WORLD IN THE NEW AGE 

MOVEMENT.  LEADING THE WORLD IN THE EXULTATION OF 

HOMOSEXUALITY.  LEADING THE WORLD IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF 

ANTICHRIST.  LEADING THE WORLD ON THE PATH TO JUDGMENT AND 

DESTRUCTION.   SELLING NATIONS THROUGH HER WHOREDOMS AND 

FAMILIES THROUGH HER WITCHCRAFTS.  WITCHCRAFT IS THE 

ATTEMPT TO CONTROL OTHERS BY ANY MEANS OTHER THAN DIRECT 

CONFRONTATION.  THE WOMEN OF AMERICA ARE THE MOST 

CONTROLLING OF THE WORLD.  THE WOMEN OF AMERICA WILL NOT 

LIVE WITH A HUSBAND THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL.  LEADING THE 

WORLD IN BROKEN HOMES.  LEADING THE WORLD IN FATHERLESS 

FAMILIES.  LEADING THE WORLD IN WITCHCRAFT.



Nahum 3:19   PG 933

[There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is 

grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the 

hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness 

passed continually?

IF NAHUM IS SPEAKING OF AMERICA TODAY, THEN THERE IS NO 

ESCAPE OF TOTAL DESTRUCTION.  HOW COULD THIS BE?  IF YOU 

WILL FORCE YOURSELF TO BE LOGICAL YOU CAN EASILY SEE IT.  

THE "BREAK-UP" OF THE SOVIET UNION IS A MYTH.  IS RUSSIA 

PAYING MONEY TO AMERICA OR IS AMERICA PAYING MONEY TO 

RUSSIA?  HAS A SINGLE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPON OF RUSSIA 

BEEN DISMANTLED?  BEFORE THE "BREAK-UP" THERE WAS ONLY ONE 

FINGER ON THE BUTTON.  HOW MANY FINGERS AND WHOSE FINGERS 

ARE NOW ON RUSSIA'S STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS?  MAKE NO 

MISTAKE ABOUT IT, RUSSIA HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR STRATEGIC 

NUCLEAR WAR FOR 40 YEARS.  RUSSIA IS DESPERATE.  WHEN SHE 

GETS DESPERATE ENOUGH, AMERICA GOES UP IN SMOKE.  THE 

WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WARFARE.  NOW HERE 

IS THE GOOD NEWS - II Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which 

are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, 

and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then 

will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and 

will heal their land.

EVEN IF THE LAND OF AMERICA IS NOT HEALED - EVEN IF IT IS  

DESTROYED BY STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS - FOR THE CHRISTIAN 

THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DIFFERENCE IN WHAT HAPPENS TO 

THEM WHEN THE NUCLEAR STRIKE OCCURS OR WHEN THE RAPTURE 

OCCURS.  FOR THE CHRISTIAN WHO IS IN RIGHT STANDING WITH 

GOD THE EFFECT OF EITHER IS IDENTICAL - INSTANTLY WITH THE 

LORD.  THE SERIOUS QUESTION - ARE YOU READY?  PLEASE GET 

SERIOUS, AND STAY READY.  FORCE YOURSELF TO THINK SOBERLY.







JUL 23   2 KINGS 21, 22, 23  2 CHRON 33     PG 934 - 935



II Chronicles 33:22-23                            PG 934

But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, 

as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all 

the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and 

served them;

And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his 

father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and 

more.

AMON WAS WORSE THAN HIS FATHER MANASSEH.  YOU WOULD HAVE 

THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM THE 

GREAT SINS AND SUBSEQUENT AFFLICTION OF HIS FATHER.



II Kings 22:1-2                                PG 934

Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and 

he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his 

mother's name [was] Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of 

Boscath.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the 

LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and 

turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

HOW DOES SUCH AN EVIL KING AS AMON HAVE SUCH A GODLY SON 

AS JOSIAH?  HE WAS PERHAPS THE MOST RIGHTEOUS KING JUDAH 

EVER HAD.



II Kings 23:25-27                           PG 935

And like unto him was there no king before him, that 

turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his 

soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of 

Moses; neither after him arose there [any] like him.

Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of 

his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against 

Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had 

provoked him withal.

And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my 

sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this 

city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which 

I said, My name shall be there.

YET THE EVIL OF HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER HAD PROVOKED 

THE LORD TO THE POINT THAT JUDAH WOULD BE JUDGED EVEN 

THOUGH JOSIAH IS TRYING HARD TO RENEW JUDAH ACCORDING TO 

THE LAW OF GOD.

THIS IS VERY SOBERING IN THE LIGHT OF NAHUM'S PROPHESY.  

EVEN IF THE CHRISTIANS OF AMERICA HUMBLE THEMSELVES THE 

JUDGMENT OF NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION AT THE HANDS OF RUSSIA MAY 

ALREADY HAVE BEEN SETTLED IN HEAVEN.  LET US NOT DELAY IN 

RETURNING TO THE LORD.  IT IS THE ONLY WAY OF ESCAPE.  

WILL YOU PLEASE SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART?   FORGET THE 

PETTY PURSUITS.  WHAT WOULD PLEASE GOD TODAY?  CONFESS 

YOUR SINS.  FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU.







JUL 24    ZEPHANIAH                         PG 935 - 941



Zephaniah 1:2-3  PG 935

I will utterly consume all [things] from off the land, 

saith the LORD.

I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of 

the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the 

stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man 

from off the land, saith the LORD.

HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED?  NO.  IT WILL INDEED HAPPEN 

BECAUSE GOD HAS SAID THAT IT WILL HAPPEN.  DO YOU REALIZE 

THAT OUR GENERATION IS THE FIRST GENERATION IN HISTORY TO 

UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH DESTRUCTION COULD HAPPEN?  ZEPHANIAH 

IS TALKING ABOUT STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS.



Zephaniah 1:7-8  PG 936

Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the 

day of the LORD [is] at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a 

sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S 

sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's 

children, and all such as are clothed with strange 

apparel.

THIS IS THE MESSAGE OF ZEPHANIAH - THE DAY OF THE LORD IS 

AT HAND.  IT WAS A MESSAGE OF OBSCURITY UNTIL OUR 

GENERATION.  ONLY THE JEWS ARE NOT CLOTHED WITH STRANGE 

APPAREL.  GOD IS NOW ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL.  ALL OTHER 

NATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO DESTRUCTION EXCEPT ISRAEL.  THE 

DESTRUCTION OF WHICH ZEPHANIAH SPEAKS CAN APPLY TO ANY 

NATION EXCEPT ISRAEL.



Zephaniah 1:14-18  PG 936 -937

The great day of the LORD [is] near, [it is] near, and 

hasteth greatly, [even] the voice of the day of the LORD: 

the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

That day [is] a day of wrath, a day of trouble and 

distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of 

darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick 

darkness,

A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, 

and against the high towers.

And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk 

like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: 

and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their 

flesh as the dung.

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to 

deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole 

land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he 

shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell 

in the land.

YOU MUST HEAR THIS.  THE MESSAGE OF ZEPHANIAH IS FOR US.  

THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR, IT IS NEAR, AND 

HASTENETH GREATLY.  THE MESSAGE IS FOR US.  WHEN STRATEGIC 

NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE USED KINGS AND PRINCES ARE DESTROYED 

ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.  NOTHING CAN PROTECT OR SAVE 

YOU EXCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.  ONLY THE CHRISTIAN IN 

RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD CAN LOOK AT A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION 

AND SEE IT HAVING THE SAME EFFECT ON HIM AS THE RAPTURE.  

ARE YOU READY?  IF WE ARE NUKED TOMORROW - WHERE WILL YOU 

SPEND ETERNITY?  WILL A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION HAVE THE SAME 

EFFECT FOR YOU AS THE RAPTURE?



Zephaniah 2:3  PG 937

Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have 

wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: 

it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.

MEEKNESS IS NOT WEAKNESS.  MEEKNESS IS STRENGTH AND POWER 

UNDER CONTROL.  MEEK PEOPLE ARE STRONG PEOPLE.  THE PROUD 

PEOPLE ARE THE WEAK PEOPLE.  MEEK PEOPLE ARE MERCIFUL 

PEOPLE.  MEEK PEOPLE ARE FORGIVING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY 

KNOW HOW MUCH GOD HAS FORGIVEN THEM.  MEEK PEOPLE CAN 

ENDURE INJURY WITH PATIENCE AND WITHOUT RESENTMENT.  HOW 

DO YOU SEEK MEEKNESS?  YOU SEEK MEEKNESS BY SEEKING TO 

FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE INJURED YOU.



Zephaniah 3:1-6  PG 938 - 939

Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing 

city!

She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she 

trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.

Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges 

[are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the 

morrow.

Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her 

priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done 

violence to the law.

The just LORD [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do 

iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to 

light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I 

made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their 

cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there 

is none inhabitant.

WHO IS ZEPHANIAH TALKING ABOUT.  HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT 

ISRAEL.  HE IS TALKING ABOUT AMERICA.  AMERICA, THE NATION 

FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, HAS TURNED TO ANTICHRIST.  

NOTHING CAN PROTECT ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY FROM RUSSIA'S 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK.  IT IS A FARCE HOW AMERICA'S 

MONEY SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST."  THIS JUDGMENT IS COMING TO 

AMERICA, NOT ISRAEL.  THE TOWERS OF ISRAEL CAN NOT FALL 

FOR IT IS GOD WHO STRENGTHENS THEM.  ISRAEL CAN NEVER 

AGAIN BE DESTROYED BECAUSE IT IS GOD WHO IS REGATHERING 

AND PROTECTING ISRAEL.  HE IS TALKING ABOUT THAT OTHER 

NATION, AMERICA, WHICH WAS ALSO FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY OF 

GOD.



Zephaniah 3:14-18  PG 940

Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and 

rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out 

thine enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in 

the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.

In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: 

[and to] Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will 

save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in 

his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

NOW ZEPHANIAH IS TALKING ABOUT ISRAEL.  THE LORD THY GOD 

IN THE MIDST OF THEE IS MIGHTY.  THIS IS ISRAEL.











JUL 25    JEREMIAH  1, 2                   PG 941 - 947



Jeremiah 1:4-5   PG 942

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before 

thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] 

I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

HOW ABOUT VERSE 5 FOR A CLEAR VIEW OF GOD'S PERSPECTIVE ON 

ABORTION?  GOD TOLD JEREMIAH THAT HE KNEW HIM AND SET HIM 

APART FOR HIS PROPHETIC MINISTRY WHILE HE WAS STILL BEING 

FORMED IN THE WOMB.  ABORTION KILLS A BABY THAT GOD KNOWS.  

GOD'S PERSPECTIVE IS THAT ABORTION IS MURDER.



Jeremiah 1:7-9   PG 942

But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for 

thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and 

whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to 

deliver thee, saith the LORD.

Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. 

And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in 

thy mouth.

JEREMIAH TOLD THE LORD HE WAS ONLY A CHILD AND THEREFORE 

NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE PROPHET MINISTRY.  HERE IS THE POINT 

- GOD QUALIFIES HIS SERVANTS.  GOD'S STRENGTH IS MADE 

PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.  OFTEN OUR QUALIFICATIONS DISQUALIFY 

US FROM GOD'S SERVICE.  ALL GOD NEEDS IS SOMEONE WHO IS 

WILLING TO BE OBEDIENT.  IF IT IS OUR TRAINING AND OUR 

INTELLIGENCE THAT GIVES THE QUALIFICATION THEN HOW IS GOD 

GLORIFIED?  THIS DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD NOT WORK AS HARD 

AS WE CAN TO GROW THE TALENTS THAT GOD GIVES US.  BUT THE 

MOST IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION IS OBEDIENCE AND A MIND SET 

TO GLORIFY GOD.



Jeremiah 1:13-14  PG 943

And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, 

saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; 

and the face thereof [is] toward the north.

Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall 

break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

THE NORTHERN FORCE OF BABYLON DID CONQUER AND TAKE ISRAEL 

AND JUDAH CAPTIVE.  THE GREAT NORTHERN FORCE OF RUSSIA 

WILL TRY TO INVADE ISRAEL IN THE LAST DAYS.  BUT GOD WILL 

WIPE OUT 5/6THS OF ALL THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS AND ISRAEL MAY 

NOT EVEN HAVE TO FIRE A SHOT.  GOD WILL DO IT HIMSELF TO 

SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD THAT HE ALONE IS GOD.  BEFORE RUSSIA 

TRIES THIS SHE WILL LIKELY HAVE FIRST DESTROYED THE UNITED 

STATES WITH A STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK.  AMERICANS MUST 

WAKE UP TO THEIR PERIL AND TURN TO THE LORD IN REPENTANCE 

WITH ALL THEIR HEART.



Jeremiah 1:19   PG 943

And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not 

prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the 

LORD, to deliver thee.

THESE ARE HARD THINGS THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR.  WHERE 

ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO HEAR THE HARD TRUTH.  YOU MUST HEAR 

THE TRUTH EVEN THE HARD TRUTH.  YOU CAN GET YOUR EARS 

TICKLED IN ALMOST ANY CHURCH SERVICE YOU ATTEND.  YOU ARE 

NOT LIKELY TO HEAR THE HARD TRUTH YOU NEED TO HEAR 

ANYWHERE.



Jeremiah 2:5   PG 943

Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found 

in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked 

after vanity, and are become vain?

IT IS NOT GOD'S FAULT THAT PEOPLE REJECT HIM.  IT IS THE 

PRIDE AND VANITY AND LUST OF THE PEOPLE WHICH CAUSE THEM 

TO TURN AWAY FROM GOD.  PROCLAIMING THEMSELVES TO BE WISE 

THEY BECOME FOOLS AND LEAVE THE GLORY OF GOD TO WORSHIP 

AND SERVE THEMSELVES AS A GOD.  THEY BUY SATAN'S SAME OLD 

LIE - "YE SHALL BE AS GOD".



Jeremiah 2:7   PG 944

And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the 

fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye 

entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an 

abomination.

COULD THIS NOT BE SAID JUST AS ACCURATELY ABOUT AMERICA?



Jeremiah 2:11-13   PG 944

Hath a nation changed [their] gods, which [are] yet no 

gods? but my people have changed their glory for [that 

which] doth not profit.

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly 

afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken 

me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed them out 

cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

AMERICA'S MONEY SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST".  IT IS A FARCE.  

AMERICA HAS SET ITS MEDIA AND THE STATE AS ITS GOD.  

AMERICA IS LEADING THE WAY TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER OF 

ANTICHRIST.  WE HAVE TRADED TRUST IN GOD FOR TRUST IN 

ANYTHING BUT GOD.  AMERICA IS ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH

THE JUDGMENT OF GOD.



Jeremiah 2:17 & 19  PG 944

Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou 

hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the 

way?

Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy 

backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see 

that [it is] an evil [thing] and bitter, that thou hast 

forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear [is] not in 

thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

WE BRING JUDGMENT ON OURSELVES BY FORSAKING GOD.  ALMOST 

EVERYONE CAN SAY GOD IS LOVE.  FEW TODAY UNDERSTAND THAT 

THE ONLY HEALTHY FEAR IS THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

Jeremiah 2:29   PG 946

Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed 

against me, saith the LORD.

TO BLAME GOD FOR OUR PROBLEMS IS FOOLISH.  WE HAVE ALL 

SINNED.  OUR SINS ARE USUALLY THE SOURCE OF OUR PROBLEMS.  

LIKE ALCOHOLICS WE DENY THAT OUR SINS CAUSE OUR PROBLEMS.  

YOU CAN'T PLANT BEANS AND EXPECT TO HARVEST CORN.



Jeremiah 2:31-32  PG 946

O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a 

wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say 

my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?

Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire? 

yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

HOW CAN HUMAN CREATURES SO EASILY FORGET THEIR CREATOR.  

GOD IS THE SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT.  HOW 

EASILY WE STILL BUY SATAN'S LIE THAT WE CAN BE OUR OWN 

gOD.



Jeremiah 2:35   PG 946

Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger 

shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, 

because thou sayest, I have not sinned.

WE ARE LIARS WHEN WE SAY WE ARE INNOCENT.  WE HAVE ALL 

SINNED.















JUL 26    JEREMIAH  3, 4                   PG 947 - 953



Jeremiah 3:8   PG 947

And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding 

Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given 

her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah 

feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

JUDAH DID NOT LEARN ANYTHING WHEN ISRAEL WENT INTO 

CAPTIVITY AS A RESULT OF ISRAEL'S UNFAITHFULNESS TO GOD.  

JUDAH KEPT RIGHT ON BACKSLIDING AWAY FROM GOD.



Jeremiah 3:12-13  PG 947

Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, 

Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; [and] I 

will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I [am] 

merciful, saith the LORD, [and] I will not keep [anger] 

for ever.

Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast 

transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered 

thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye 

have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

JUDAH FOLLOWED GOD IN PRETENSE AND NOT WITH THEIR HEART.  

THEREFORE GOD CHOSE TO SEND HIS PROPHET TO FAITHLESS 

ISRAEL AND EXTEND HIS OFFER OF MERCY TO ISRAEL.  ONLY 

ACKNOWLEDGE THINE INIQUITY.  ALL GOD ASKED WAS FOR ISRAEL 

TO ADMIT WHAT THEY HAD DONE WAS WRONG.  GOD KNEW THE 

TOTALLY FAITHLESS NATION IN CAPTIVITY WAS MORE LIKELY TO 

RECEIVE HIS OFFER OF MERCY THAN THE HOLY HYPOCRITES IN 

JUDAH.  NO ONE IS HARDER TO REACH THAN THE SELF RIGHTEOUS 

HOLY HYPOCRITES IN THE CHURCH.



Jeremiah 3:16-18  PG 948

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and 

increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they 

shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: 

neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember 

it; neither shall they visit [it]; neither shall [that] be 

done any more.

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the 

LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to 

the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they 

walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house 

of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of 

the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance 

unto your fathers.

IT SEEMS LIKE THIS PROPHESY APPLIES TO ISRAEL MORE TODAY 

THAN IT EVER DID.  JER 3:16 HAS THE LAST OLD TESTAMENT 

REFERENCE TO THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.  Revelation 11:19 

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was 

seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there 

were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an 

earthquake, and great hail.  THIS IS THE ONLY REFERENCE IN 

SCRIPTURE WHICH GIVES THE PRESENT LOCATION OF THE ARK OF 

THE COVENANT.  INDIANA JONES CERTAINLY DID NOT FIND IT.  

ONE DOES NOT HEAR IF ISRAEL IS GOING TO TRY TO RECONSTRUCT 

AN ARK.  NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ARK WHEN TITUS 

DESTROYED THE TEMPLE IN 70 AD.  REVELATION 11:19 WOULD 

INDICATE THAT GOD TOOK IT FROM THE TEMPLE TO HEAVEN.  AT 

ANY RATE, WE ARE WITNESSING THE JEWS OF ALL TRIBES BEING 

GATHERED FROM THE NORTH AND ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.  WHAT 

GOOD WOULD IT DO FOR THE JEWS TO RECONSTRUCT THE TEMPLE 

WITHOUT THE ARK TO BE INSIDE THE HOLY OF HOLYS?  HAVE YOU 

HEARD ANY NEWS REGARDING THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE?



Jeremiah 3:20  PG 948

Surely [as] a wife treacherously departeth from her 

husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house 

of Israel, saith the LORD.

TREACHEROUS DEALING FROM A SPOUSE REALLY HURTS.  THERE ARE 

A LOT OF SUCH HURTS IN OUR LAND.  MEMORY OF COMING HOME TO 

FIND THE WIFE, THE KIDS, THE DOG, THE MONEY AND THE 

FURNITURE ALL GONE HURTS ALMOST 4 YEARS REMOVED.  

REBUILDING TRUST AFTER TREACHERY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.  

GOD CAN DO IT BUT MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT REBUILD TRUST AFTER 

TREACHERY.  THE CHILDREN ARE THE REAL VICTIMS.  THIS SORT 

OF SITUATION IS PART OF THE LEGACY OF THE WOMEN'S 

LIBERATION MOVEMENT.  WERE WOMEN NOT REALLY MUCH BETTER 

OFF UNDER CHIVALRY?  CERTAINLY THE CHILDREN WERE MUCH 

BETTER OFF.  THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE USED TO KEEP THEIR 

VOWS AND HANG IN THERE THROUGH DIFFICULTIES.  OUR NATION 

IS IN CONFUSION.



Jeremiah 3:22   PG 948

Return, ye backsliding children, [and] I will heal your 

backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou [art] 

the LORD our God.

GOD IS ALWAYS MORE READY TO FORGIVE THAN WE ARE EVEN READY 

TO BE FORGIVEN.



Jeremiah 4:3-4    PG 949

For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, 

Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the 

foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants 

of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn 

that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your 

doings.

BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND MEANS IT IS TIME TO PULL ALL 

THE STOPS.  DON'T HOLD ANYTHING BACK.  USE EVERY RESOURCE 

THAT YOU HAVE.  SOW NOT AMONG THORNS - MEANS DON'T WASTE 

ANY OF YOUR EFFORT.  IT IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SEEK THE 

LORD WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH BECAUSE JUDGMENT IS COMING.  

THIS PROBABLY APPLIES MORE TO AMERICANS TODAY THAN IT DID 

TO JUDAH IN 600BC.



Jeremiah 4:10   PG 950

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly 

deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have 

peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

PEACE!  THE COLD WAR IS OVER.  HOW IS IT THAT THE SUPPOSED 

WINNER OF THE COLD WAR IS PAYING THE SUPPOSED LOOSER OF 

THE COLD WAR 24 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR?  PEACE THEY SAY.  

HOW IS IT THAT THE SUPPOSED WINNER OF THE COLD WAR IS 

DISARMING WHILE THE WEAPONS AND MILITARY OF THE SUPPOSED 

LOOSER REMAINS INTACT?  THEY CAN SAY PEACE, PEACE, BUT THE 

SWORD IS AT OUR THROATS.  HAVE ANY SOVIET STRATEGIC 

NUCLEAR WEAPONS BEEN DISMANTLED?  HOW MANY SOVIET MILITARY 

BASES HAVE BEEN CLOSED?  PEACE, PEACE, THEY SAY WHEN THE 

TRUTH SAYS GREATER PERIL EVERY DAY.  GOD HELP US!



Jeremiah 4:14   PG 950

O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou 

mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge 

within thee?

THE SITUATION WAS DESPERATE FOR JERUSALEM.  THE ANSWER FOR 

JERUSALEM THEN IS THE SAME AS THE ANSWER FOR AMERICA 

TODAY.  WASH OUR HEARTS FROM WICKEDNESS.  THEIR PERIL WAS 

ONLY CAPTIVITY.  HOW MUCH GREATER IS OUR PERIL?  HOW LONG 

WILL WE CONTINUE IN VANITY.  IT WAS GOD'S PROVIDENCE, AND 

GRACE WHICH BUILT AMERICA.  THE PRIDE, ARROGANCE, AND 

VANITY OF OUR LEADERS IS ASTOUNDING.



Jeremiah 4:18-19  PG 951

Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto 

thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, 

because it reacheth unto thine heart.

My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my 

heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, 

because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the 

trumpet, the alarm of war.

JUDAH WAS CORRUPT TO THE HEART.  JEREMIAH BURSTS OUT WITH 

GREAT DISTRESS AND PAIN IN HIS HEART FOR THE DISASTER 

COMING ON HIS COUNTRY.  MANY CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA ARE 

FEELING THIS DEEP HEART PAIN FOR THEIR COUNTRY BEING ON A 

COLLISION COURSE WITH THE DISASTER OF GOD'S JUDGMENT.



Jeremiah 4:22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not 

known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none 

understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good 

they have no knowledge.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM AND 

UNDERSTANDING.  IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO DISPLAY THE 10 

COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL CLASSROOMS IN AMERICA.  GIVE 

THEM CONDOMS AND SEX EDUCATION AND THEN WONDER HOW THEY 

ARE WISE TO DO EVIL AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE TO DO GOOD?  HOW 

STUPID AND FOOLISH CAN WE GET?



Jeremiah 5:1-2  PG 952

Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and 

see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, 

if ye can find a man, if there be [any] that executeth 

judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear 

falsely.

WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS HERE TODAY.  IN AMERICA IF YOU 

ARE NOT A JEW YOU MUST BE A CHRISTIAN.  HOW DOES THE 

CHRISTIAN'S DISHONESTY, DRUNKENNESS, AND LUST DISHONOR THE 

LORD OF GLORY?



Jeremiah 5:12-13  PG 953

They have belied the LORD, and said, [It is] not he; 

neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see 

sword nor famine:

And the prophets shall become wind, and the word [is] not 

in them: thus shall it be done unto them.

WOW!  HOW THIS APPLIES TO AMERICA TODAY!  THEY THINK YOU 

ARE CRAZY IF YOU TELL THEM THE COUNTRY IS ON A COLLISION 

COURSE WITH GOD'S JUDGMENT?  YOU ARE WRONG IF YOU THINK 

THIS COUNTRY IS IN ANY LESS DANGER BECAUSE OF THE MYTH OF 

THE "BREAK-UP" OF THE SOVIET UNION AND ITS DESPERATE 

ECONOMIC STATUS.  YOU ARE WRONG IF YOU THINK THIS COUNTRY 

WHICH KILLS 1.5 MILLION BABIES PER YEAR WILL NOT COME TO 

HARM.  THOSE WHO SAY PEACE, PEACE, ARE FALSE PROPHETS.  IS 

GOD'S WORD IN DAN RATHER, TOM BROKAW OR PETER JENNINGS?









JUL 27    JEREMIAH  5, 6                   PG 953 - 957



Jeremiah 5:18-18  PG 953

Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not 

make a full end with you.

And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore 

doeth the LORD our God all these [things] unto us? then 

shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and 

served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve 

strangers in a land [that is] not yours.

GOD WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE A FULL END OF JUDAH.  THEY WOULD 

GO INTO CAPTIVITY.  WHEN THEY WOULD ASK THEMSELVES WHY 

THEY WERE IN SUCH A PLIGHT THEY WOULD THEN CONCLUDE IT WAS 

BECAUSE THEY HAD FORSAKEN GOD.  TODAY AMERICA FACES A FULL 

END.  THERE MAY BE NO TIME TO REPENT WHEN JUDGMENT FALLS 

ON AMERICA.



Jeremiah 5:21-25  PG 954

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without 

understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have 

ears, and hear not:

Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my 

presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of 

the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and 

though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not 

prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; 

they are revolted and gone.

Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD 

our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, 

in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of 

the harvest.

Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your 

sins have withholden good [things] from you.

GOD WANTS ONLY THE BEST FOR US.  GOD WANTS TO BLESS US.  

BUT WE ARE SO FOOLISH.  WE WILL NOT HEAR HIM.  HOW DO WE 

HEAR GOD?  READ HIS WORD AND LET HIM MAKE HIS WORD COME 

ALIVE FOR US BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT.  WE SHOULD FEAR GOD.  HIS 

POWER IS BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING.  BUT WE KEEP DOING IT 

OUR OWN WAY.  WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT GOD HAS A BETTER 

WAY - A WAY OF REST IN TRUSTING HIM.  WHEN GOD BLESSES 

PEOPLE THEY USUALLY TEND TO FORGET GOD.  IT IS OUR SINS 

WHICH SEPARATE US FROM GOD.  IF WE WOULD BE OBEDIENT AND 

GIVE GOD THE GLORY WHEN WE ARE BLESSED, ONLY GOD KNOWS HOW 

MUCH WE COULD BE BLESSED.



Jeremiah 5:30-31  PG 954

A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule 

by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and 

what will ye do in the end thereof?

THEIR PROPHETS PROPHESY FALSELY.  RATHER, BROKAW AND 

JENNINGS SOMETIMES SEEM TO THINK THEIR JOB IS TO DUPE THE 

DOPES.  THANK GOD FOR RUSH LIMBAUGH.



Jeremiah 6:10-11  PG 955

To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may 

hear? behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they 

cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them 

a reproach; they have no delight in it.

Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary 

with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children 

abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for 

even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged 

with [him that is] full of days.

I HAVE AGONIZED OVER MANY OF THE THINGS WHICH I HAVE BEEN 

WRITING.  TO WHOM SHALL I SPEAK?  NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR OR 

THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS.  BUT TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD I MUST 

GIVE THIS INFORMATION TO MY CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF ALL 

OPPOSITION.  MANY OF THE THINGS I FEEL COMPELLED TO SHARE 

ARE NO DELIGHT AND IN FACT ARE A REPROACH.  YOU DON'T WANT 

TO BE REPROACHED BY THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE, YET LOVE REQUIRES 

THE TRUTH.  I AM WEARY OF HOLDING THESE THINGS IN AND YET 

COMPELLED TO TELL THE TRUTH.



Jeremiah 6:13-19  PG 955 - 956

For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them 

every one [is] given to covetousness; and from the prophet 

even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my 

people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no 

peace.

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? 

nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they 

blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at 

the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, 

saith the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and 

ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk 

therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they 

said, We will not walk [therein].

Also I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the 

sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.

Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what 

[is] among them.

Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, 

[even] the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not 

hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

TAKE THIS TO HEART.  THESE VERSES APPLY TO AMERICA TODAY.











JUL 28    JEREMIAH  7, 8, 9                PG 957 - 963



Jeremiah 7:11   PG 957

Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of 

robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it], saith 

the LORD.

THE LORD EXPECTS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME TO 

SET THE EXAMPLE FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE.  THERE IS NO WAY TO 

HIDE ANYTHING FROM GOD.  WHEN THE PEOPLE WHO PUBLICLY 

PROCLAIM THAT THEY KNOW GOD LIE, CHEAT, AND STEAL, THEN 

THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE LORD WILL NOT WANT TO KNOW THE 

LORD.  THEY ARE NOT HYPOCRITES.  IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL THAT 

ANY SHOULD PERISH.  GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE 

HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM 

SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.  CHRISTIAN 

HYPOCRITES ARE SATAN'S MOST EFFECTIVE TOOL TO TAKE SOULS 

TO HELL.  CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO LIVE AND LOVE IN SUCH A 

WAY AS TO CAUSE UNBELIEVERS TO ASK THE REASON OF THE HOPE 

THAT IS WITHIN THEM.



Jeremiah 7:23-24   PG 958

But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, 

and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and 

walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it 

may be well unto you.

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked 

in the counsels [and] in the imagination of their evil 

heart, and went backward, and not forward.

OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE.  OBEDIENCE IS THE 

IDENTIFYING MARK OF GOD'S PEOPLE.  EVEN TODAY THIS IS A 

MESSAGE GOD'S PEOPLE ARE INCLINED TO REJECT.  LOVE, LOVE 

THEY SAY.  GRACE, GRACE THEY SAY.  OBEDIENCE? - THAT IS 

LEGALISM.  NO!   THAT'S LOVING GOD.



Jeremiah 7:27   PG 958

Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but 

they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto 

them; but they will not answer thee.

THROUGH DISOBEDIENCE AND REBELLION, HYPOCRISY WILL GROW TO 

BLOCK OFF THE EARS FROM HEARING.  CURSED SELF 

RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN TAKES HOLD.  

AMEN, FOLLOWS AMEN, BUT THE GOOD PREACHING BRINGS NO 

CHANGES TO THE LIFE.  THAT IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T READ THEIR 

BIBLES EVERY DAY.  EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT IS THE 

GREATEST COLLECTION OF TRUTH, KNOWLEDGE, AND WISDOM TO 

BRING UNBOUNDED JOY AND HOPE TO MANKIND.  THEY REFUSE TO 

HEAR THE CONVICTING VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  YOU SIMPLY 

CANNOT READ THE SCRIPTURES EVERY DAY WITHOUT GETTING YOUR 

HEART CLEANSED.  SOMETIMES THIS IS PAINFUL AND CAUSES 

PEOPLE TO BECOME LAX IN THEIR DAILY READING.  WILL I HEAR 

THE CONVICTING VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?



Jeremiah 8:5-7  PG 957

Why [then] is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a 

perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse 

to return.

I hearkened and heard, [but] they spake not aright: no man 

repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? 

every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into 

the battle.

Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; 

and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the 

time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment 

of the LORD.

JEREMIAH SPEAKS JUST AS CLEARLY TODAY TO ANOTHER NATION 

FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.  JEREMIAH IS SPEAKING TO 

AMERICA EVEN MORE PROFOUNDLY THAN HE SPEAKS TO ISRAEL.  

WHY THIS PERPETUAL BACKSLIDING?  CAN'T YOU SEE THE 

IMMINENT JUDGMENT?  NO ONE REPENTS OF THEIR OWN 

WICKEDNESS.  SURE WE CAN SEE THE SINS OF OTHERS.  YET NO 

ONE IS CRYING OUT TO GOD IN THE FACE OF JUDGMENT - WHAT 

HAVE I DONE?  PLEASE NOTE THE WORDS WHAT HAVE I DONE.  NOT 

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.  WHAT HAVE I DONE?  EVEN THE STORK 

KNOWS WHEN WINTER IS COMING.  EVEN THE TURTLE AND THE 

SWALLOW OBSERVE THE TIME.  BUT GOD'S PEOPLE KNOW NOT THE 

JUDGMENT OF THE LORD.  IT IS NEAR.



Jeremiah 8:9   PG 959

The wise [men] are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: 

lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what 

wisdom [is] in them?

WHEN YOU REJECT THE WISDOM OF THE LORD YOU BECOME WISE IN 

YOUR OWN EYES AND END UP BEING A FOOL.  Romans 1:22 

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

KNOWLEDGE IS WORTHLESS WHEN YOU HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF 

GOD.



Jeremiah 8:11   PG 959

For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people 

slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.

PEACE, PEACE, THEY SAY WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE.  WE HAVE 

NEVER BEEN IN GREATER PERIL THAN WE ARE TODAY.  EVERY 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPON EVER BUILT TO BE AIMED AT AMERICA 

IS STILL IN PLACE AND IN THE HANDS OF A PEOPLE WHO GROW 

MORE DESPARATE EVERY DAY.  PEACE, PEACE THEY SAY WHEN 

THERE IS NO PEACE BUT HORRENDOUS IMPENDING FIREY JUDGMENT.



Jeremiah 8:12   PG 959 - 960

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? 

nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they 

blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in 

the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, 

saith the LORD.

IS BILL CLINTON ASHAMED OF HIS LIES?  IS HILLARY CLINTON 

ASHAMED OF CONSULTING FAMILIAR SPIRITS OF ELEANOR 

ROSEVELT?  THEY DON'T EVEN BLUSH.  DO THE CONGRESSMEN WHO 

WRITE BAD CHECKS BLUSH?  ITS THEIR PRIVILEGE.



Jeremiah 9:3-6  PG 961

And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies: 

but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for 

they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, 

saith the LORD.

Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not 

in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, 

and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will 

not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to 

speak lies, [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through 

deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

WHAT A VIVID WORD PICTURE OF AMERICA TODAY.  CONTINUING 

LIES, PROCEEDING FROM EVIL TO EVIL, THEY DON'T KNOW THE 

LORD.  THEY BAN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD FROM THE 

CLASSROOMS OF AMERICA.  DO YOU TRUST ANY OF YOUR NEIGHBORS 

IN WASHINGTON D.C.?



Jeremiah 9:13-14  PG 962

And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law 

which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, 

neither walked therein;

But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, 

and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE LAW OF THE LORD.  THEY HAVE BANNED 

THE LAW OF THE LORD FROM THEIR CHILDREN.  THEY HAVE BOUGHT 

THE LIE OF LUCIFER.  THEY PROFESS THE LIE OF LUCIFER.  

THEY FOLLOW AFTER LUCIFER AS THEIR GOD.  LUCIFER IS THE 

GOD OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER.  HE 

IS THE GOD OF AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION TODAY.



Jeremiah 9:23-24  PG 963

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his 

wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, 

let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:

But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he 

understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which 

exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in 

the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the 

LORD.

IN WHAT DO YOU GLORY?  IS IT YOUR KNOWLEDGE?  YOUR WISDOM?  

YOUR STRENGTH?  YOUR RICHES?  GOD SAYS TO GLORY IN THIS - 

THAT YOU KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD.  GOD DELIGHTS IN LOVE, 

KINDNESS, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.  PRAISE GOD THAT WE CAN STILL 

READ HIS WORD AND GET TO KNOW HIM AND UNDERSTAND HIM.  HOW 

LONG BEFORE OUR BIBLES WILL BE OUTLAWED?  WE MUST GET 

SERRIOUS ABOUT HIDING HIS WORD IN OUR HEARTS.  WE MUST BE 

SERIOUS ABOUT TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT COMES FROM KNOWING 

AND UNDERSTANDING GOD.  WE MUST GET RID OF THE GARBAGE OF 

OUR SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.









JUL 29    JEREMIAH  10, 11, 12                PG 963 - 968



Jeremiah 10:6-7   PG 963

Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD; thou 

[art] great, and thy name [is] great in might.

Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee 

doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise [men] 

of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none 

like unto thee.

WHO WOULD NOT FEAR GOD?  ONLY A CLASSIC FOOL WOULD NOT 

FEAR GOD.  THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD.  

FOR SOME IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LORD 

WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN JUST A TINY GLIMPSE OF HIS LOVE.  FEAR 

OF THE LORD IS THE ONLY HEALTHY FEAR.  GOD IS SO GREAT, SO 

POWERFUL, SO MAJESTIC THAT IT IS REALLY IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO 

FEAR HIM.  PERHAPS TO THINK OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD AS 

REVERENCE WOULD BE HELPFUL.  FEAR OF GOD IS A MOTIVE OF 

OBEDIENCE.  LOVE OF GOD IS A BETTER MOTIVE.  HOWEVER, IF 

YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LOVE OF GOD TO OVERCOME A BIG TRIAL 

OR TEMPTATION, FEAR OF THE LORD COULD BE QUITE HELPFUL.



Jeremiah 10:8  PG 964

But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock 

[is] a doctrine of vanities.

THEY ARE ALL SENSELESS AND FOOLISH WHO DO NOT FEAR THE 

LORD.  ONE WILL EITHER CHOOSE TO FEAR GOD OR HE WILL WASTE 

AWAY IN VANITY.  WE ARE BORN IN VANITY.  THE WHOLE 

CREATION WAS SUBJECTED TO VANITY IN GOD'S HOPE THAT WITH 

THIS SELF CONSCIOUS VANITY MAN WOULD CHOOSE TO LOVE GOD 

FROM HIS OWN FREE WILL.  Romans 8:20-21 For the creature 

was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason 

of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,  Because the 

creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage 

of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of 

God.



Jeremiah 10:10   PG 964

But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God, 

and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall 

tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his 

indignation.

ALL THOSE WHO WORSHIP LUCIFER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WILL 

END UP FACING THE WRATH OF GOD.  NOTHING CAN BE MORE 

FEARFUL THAN TO FACE THE WRATH OF GOD.  REFERRING TO 

INDIRECT WORSHIP OF LUCIFER SPEAKS OF THOSE WHO ARE 

UNWITTINGLY SUCKED INTO CONTACT WITH SPIRIT GUIDES, 

ASCENDED MASTERS, FAMILIAR SPIRITS, THE OCCULT, ASTROLOGY, 

THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, AND VARIOUS 

OTHER ORDERS WHICH WILL ALL FALL IN LINE UNDER ANTICHRIST.  

IT IS ALL QUICKLY BOILING DOWN TO FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST 

OR ANTICHRIST.



Jeremiah 10:15   PG 964

They [are] vanity, [and] the work of errors: in the time 

of their visitation they shall perish.

ALL BELIEFS EXCEPT ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM WILL 

FALL IN LINE UNDER ANTICHRIST'S REGIME.  IT IS ALL VANITY 

UNDER LUCIFER, THE FATHER OF LIES.  WHEN JESUS CHRIST 

RETURNS THEY SHALL ALL PERISH WHILE THE FAITHFUL BELIEVERS 

IN JESUS CHRIST ARE BEING RAPTURED TO MEET THE LORD IN THE 

AIR AS HE PROCEEDS TO DESTROY ALL OTHERS WITH THE 

BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING AND THE POWER OF HIS WORD.



Jeremiah 10:23-24  PG 965

O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: 

[it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, 

lest thou bring me to nothing.

OUR LIFE IS A GIFT FROM GOD.  DON'T BLAME YOUR PARENTS FOR 

BRINGING YOU INTO A CORRUPT WORLD OR A BAD SITUATION.  

THANK GOD FOR YOUR LIFE.  FIND ABUNDANT, POWERFUL, ETERNAL 

LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST RIGHT HERE AND NOW.  JESUS CHRIST IS 

COMING BACK SOON TO SET THIS WHOLE WORLD THE WAY IT SHOULD 

BE.  DON'T THINK YOUR GOVERNMENT OR ANY WORLD GOVERNMENT 

CAN DO WHAT ONLY JESUS CHRIST CAN DO.  HE IS GOING TO MAKE 

EVERYTHING RIGHT AND IT MAY BE COMING TO PASS SOONER THAN 

YOU THINK.  THERE MAY BE AS MANY AS 7 YEARS OF GREAT 

TRIBULATION BUT HANG IN THERE - JESUS, OUR BLESSED HOPE IS 

COMING SOON.



Jeremiah 11:1   PG 965

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

JEREMIAH IS NOT JUST MAKING IDLE CHATTER.  THE LORD IS 

TELLING HIM EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY.



Jeremiah 11:3   PG 965

And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; 

Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not the words of this 

covenant,

THINK ABOUT THIS.  IT IS VERY SERIOUS TO BE CURSED BY GOD.  

THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE WORDS OF THE COVENANT ARE GOING 

TO BE CURSED.  THE COVENANT IS THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.  IN 

AMERICA THE LAW FORBIDS A COPY OF THE COVENANT TO BE 

DISPLAYED IN ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE LAND.  COULD WE 

ALREADY BE IN THE 7 LAST YEARS AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT?



Jeremiah 11:14   PG 966

Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a 

cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the 

time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

DO YOU KNOW A TIME COMES WHEN IT IS TOO LATE TO PRAY?  LET 

US HOPE THAT WE HAVE NEVER COME TO THAT POINT IN GOD'S 

TIMETABLE AND LONGSUFFERING PATIENCE.



Jeremiah 11:20   PG 966

But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that 

triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance 

on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT VENGEANCE IS THE LORD'S BUSINESS 

AND NOT OUR BUSINESS.



Jeremiah 12:1-3  PG 967

Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet 

let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth 

the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they 

happy that deal very treacherously?

Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they 

grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in 

their mouth, and far from their reins.

But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried 

mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the 

slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

IT IS GOOD TO ASK GOD WHY?  WE MUST NOT LET OUR WHY'S 

BECOME A WHINE.  JEREMIAH ASKS WHY DO THE WICKED PROSPER.  

THE WICKED WILL PROSPER FOR A SHORT TIME.  ANTICHRIST WILL 

BE GIVEN POWER TO WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS.  BUT WHAT IS 

SEVEN YEARS OF THE PROSPERING OF WICKEDNESS COMPARED TO 

ETERNITY?  IF JUDGMENT BEGINS WITH THE HOUSE OF GOD, HOW 

SHALL THE WICKED STAND?  NONE SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND THE 

WRATH OF THE LAMB.



Jeremiah 12:7   PG 967

I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I 

have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of 

her enemies.

THIS IS GOD TALKING.  GOD IS GREATLY GRIEVED WHEN HE IS 

FORCED TO PUNISH HIS REBELLIOUS CHILDREN.  IT HURTS LIKE 

IT HURTS ANY PARENT TO DISCIPLINE A REBELLIOUS CHILD.  

GOD'S PERFECT WILL IS TO SHOWER US WITH THE BLESSINGS OF 

OBEDIENCE.  WE FORCE HIM TO GIVE US THE JUDGMENT OF 

REBELLION AND IT GRIEVES HIM.



Jeremiah 12:10-11  PG 967

Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden 

my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion 

a desolate wilderness.

They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it 

mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because 

no man layeth [it] to heart.

HOW MANY PASTORS TODAY EXCUSE IF NOT OUTRIGHT ENCOURAGE 

THEIR PEOPLE TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THEIR SINS.  THERE ARE 

EVEN "CHRISTIAN" PASTORS WHO SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH GLOBAL 

GOVERNMENT OR THE NEW WORLD ORDER.  SOME EVEN THINK THAT 

GETTING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR SPIRIT GUIDE OR ASCENDED MASTER 

IS OK.  SOME WOULD SAY ABORTION IS A WOMAN'S RIGHT.  HELL, 

FIRE, AND BRIMSTONE PREACHERS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND 

UNPOPULAR TO SAY THE LEAST.  THIS LAND CAN BE MADE UTTERLY 

DESOLATE VERY QUICKLY.











JUL 30    JEREMIAH  13, 14, 15                PG 968 - 973



Jeremiah 13:15-16   PG 969

Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath 

spoken.

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, 

and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, 

while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of 

death, [and] make [it] gross darkness.

WHAT IS IT THAT PREVENTS US HEARING GOD?  IT IS VANITY AND 

OUR PRIDE?  WE CANNOT HELP HAVING VANITY AND PRIDE.  WE 

ARE BORN WITH THIS AFFLICTION.  BUT IT IS ONLY BY HEARING 

GOD THAT WE CAN BREAK FREE OF OUR VANITY AND PRIDE.  WE 

RECEIVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A GIFT OF GOD BY FAITH.  HOW DO 

YOU GET FAITH?  Romans 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by 

hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  FAITH COMES BY 

HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.  THIS IS NOT A 

CATCH 22 SITUATION.  IT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE WHICH 

EVERY HUMAN BEING WILL MAKE.  WILL WE CHOOSE TO HUMBLE 

OURSELF AND LISTEN TO GOD OR WILL WE PERSIST IN OUR VANITY 

AND DIE IN OURS SINS.  GIVE GLORY TO GOD BEFORE THE 

DARKNESS OF DEATH OVERTAKES YOU.  YOU DON'T KNOW THE DAY 

OR THE HOUR WHEN DEATH WILL OVERTAKE YOU.  WILL YOU LET 

THE TRUE GOD BE GOD OR WILL YOU PERSIST IN THE FUTILE VAIN 

ATTEMPT TO BE YOUR OWN GOD?



Jeremiah 13:23    PG 970

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his 

spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to 

do evil.

CAN THE LEOPARD CHANGE HIS SPOTS?  OF COURSE HE CAN NOT.  

IT IS THE SAME WITH MAN AND HIS VANITY.  IT IS JUST AS 

IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MAN TO OVERCOME HIS VANITY.  HE CAN PUT 

ON A GOOD SHOW BUT GOD KNOWS THE VANITY CONDITION OF THE 

HEART.  THE MORE A MAN TRIES TO DO ENOUGH GOOD WORKS TO 

COVER HIS SINS THE MORE THE VANITY GROWS IN HIS HEART.  IT 

WILL GROW INTO SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HYPOCRISY WHICH 

STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.  WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?????

Romans 7:24-8:2  O wretched man that I am! who shall 

deliver me from the body of this death?  I thank God 

through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I 

myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of 

sin.  [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them 

which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, 

but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life 

in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and 

death.  YOU SEE THE LEOPARD CANNOT CHANGE HIS SPOTS.  BUT 

GOD CAN CHANGE THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS FOR HIM.  WE CANNOT 

COVER OR MAKE UP TO GOD FOR ANY OF OUR SINS.  BUT GOD CAN 

COVER OUR SINS FOR US.



Jeremiah 14:7    PG 971

O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou 

[it] for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; 

we have sinned against thee.

THIS IS POWERFUL PRAYER.  DO IT FOR YOUR NAME'S SAKE.  GOD 

IDENTIFIED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD AS THE GOD OF ISRAEL.  

JEREMIAH ASKS GOD TO SAVE ISRAEL FOR THE SAKE OF GOD'S 

NAME, THE GOD OF ISRAEL.



Jeremiah 14:11-12  PG 971

Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for 

[their] good.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they 

offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept 

them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the 

famine, and by the pestilence.

GOD TELLS JEREMIAH THAT IT IS TOO LATE.  THIS NATION IS SO 

BAD.  THEY HAVE BEEN SO BAD FOR SO LONG GOD, THE HOLY GOD,  

CANNOT STAND ANY LONGER TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH THEM.  WHAT 

ABOUT AMERICA - THAT OTHER NATION FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY OF 

GOD WHOSE MONEY EVEN SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST"?  IS IT TOO 

LATE?  WHICH gOD IS THE GOD OF AMERICA?  IS IT THE ONE 

WHOSE COVENANT HAS BEEN BANNED FROM ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF 

THE LAND?  THE GODLY CULTURE PECULIAR TO AMERICA'S 

FOUNDING FATHERS IS SYSTEMATICALLY BEING DESTROYED.  IS IT 

TOO LATE FOR AMERICA?  CHRISTIAN, WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT 

IT?



Jeremiah 14:13-14   PG 971

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto 

them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have 

famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in 

my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, 

neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false 

vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the 

deceit of their heart.

PEACE, PEACE THEY SAY.  THE SOVIET UNION IS NO LONGER A 

THREAT, THEY SAY.  THE PROPHETS PROPHESY LIES.  ARE THE 

PEOPLE WHO ARE TELLING US THESE THINGS GETTING THEIR 

INFORMATION FROM THE TRUE GOD?  Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in 

time past ye walked according to the course of this world, 

according to the prince of the power of the air, the 

spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

THE TRUTH IS THAT THEIR INFORMATION COMES FROM THE PRINCE 

OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, LUCIFER.  OUR MEDIA PROPHETS ARE 

TELLING US THINGS OUT OF THE DECEIT OF THEIR HEART.  THEIR 

INFORMATION COMES FROM LUCIFER AND HIS ANTICHRIST - THE 

GODS OF THE NEW AGE.



Jeremiah 14:22   PG 972

Are there [any] among the vanities of the Gentiles that 

can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not 

thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: 

for thou hast made all these [things].

DO ANY OF THE gODS OF THE NEW AGE HAVE POWER LIKE THE 

LORD?



Jeremiah 15:1  PG 973

Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood 

before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this 

people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go 

forth.

MOSES WAS ABLE TO STOP GOD'S TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF ALL 

ISRAEL EXODUS 32:9-14.  ISRAEL HAD BECOME SUCH A STINKING 

EVIL THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THE HOLY GOD COULD PREVENT 

THEIR DESTRUCTION.











JUL 31    JEREMIAH  15, 16, 17                PG 973 - 978



Jeremiah 15:16   PG 974

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was 

unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am 

called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

ARE YOU DELIGHTED TO READ GOD'S WORD EVERY DAY?  HAVE I 

NEGLECTED TO READ THE WORD OF GOD?  WHEN YOU LOVE GOD YOU 

LOVE TO READ HIS WORD.  IT IS A DELIGHT TO FEED YOUR 

SPIRIT AND IT WILL MAKE YOUR HEART REJOICE.  THE CHRISTIAN 

WHO EXPECTS TO BE FED BY HIS PASTOR IS A BABY CHRISTIAN.  

SOME CHRISTIANS DIE AS BABIES.  THEY NEVER GROW ENOUGH TO 

FEED THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY MAY GROW STRONG ENOUGH TO 

EVEN PARTICIPATE IN THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE.  IN THE LAST 

DAYS THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE BECOMES TOTAL WAR.  BABIES ARE 

NOT CAPABLE OF FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.  WE ALL NEED TO 

GROW AND GROW QUICKLY.  YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS NOT YOUR 

PASTOR'S JOB.  IT IS YOUR JOB.

Jeremiah 15:19-21  PG 974

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I 

bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if 

thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be 

as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not 

thou unto them.

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen 

wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall 

not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save 

thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and 

I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

JEREMIAH HAS BEEN HAVING A PITY PARTY BEFORE THE LORD.  

HIS PEOPLE WILL NOT LISTEN TO HIM GIVE THEM GOD'S 

WARNINGS.  GOD SAYS GRIT UP YOUR GUT.  DON'T EVEN TRY TO 

REACH OUT TO YOUR PEOPLE ANY MORE.  MAKE THEM COME TO YOU 

IF THEY WANT ANY MORE TRUTH.  THERE COMES A TIME NO MATTER 

HOW MUCH YOU MAY LOVE SOMEONE, THAT YOU MUST LET THEM GO 

AND EXPERIENCE THE PAINS THAT THEIR REBELLION WILL BRING 

THEM.  GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF HIS PEOPLE JUST AS HE 

PROMISED AND DID TAKE CARE OF JEREMIAH DURING THE PERIOD 

OF JUDAH'S JUDGMENT.



Jeremiah 16:19-21   PG 976

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the 

day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from 

the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers 

have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there 

is] no profit.

Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no 

gods?

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I 

will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they 

shall know that my name [is] The LORD.

IS GOD YOUR STRENGTH AND FORTRESS FOR THE DAYS OF 

AFFLICTION WHICH ARE COMING?  THIS NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND 

NEW WORLD ORDER OF ANTICHRIST COMING UPON THE WORLD IS 

BEING BROUGHT IN THROUGH LIES AND VANITY.  PEOPLE ARE 

IGNORANT OF GOD'S WORD AND THEREFORE WILL BE SUCKED INTO 

THIS COMING SYSTEM OF DESTRUCTION.



Jeremiah 17:5  PG 977

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in 

man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth 

from the LORD.

IN THIS DAY AND AGE EVERYONE KNOWS A MAN WHO COULD NOT 

TRUST HIS WIFE OR A WIFE WHO COULD NOT TRUST HER HUSBAND.  

CHILDREN IN THESE SITUATIONS CAN NOT TRUST THEIR PARENTS.  

WERE CAN YOU TRUST WITHOUT DISAPPOINTMENT - ONLY IN THE 

LORD.  SET YOUR HEART TOWARD THE LORD.



Jeremiah 17:9-10  PG 977

The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and 

desperately wicked: who can know it?

I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to 

give every man according to his ways, [and] according to 

the fruit of his doings.

HERE IS THE WHOLE STORY IN A NUTSHELL.  THE HEART IS 

DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS AND DESPERATELY WICKED.  WHO 

CAN KNOW IT?  WE CAN'T EVEN KNOW THE DESPERATE WICKEDNESS 

OF OUR OWN HEARTS WITHOUT GOD'S HELP.  OUR HEARTS ARE SO 

DECEITFUL WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS TRUTH.  THE WORLD 

WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU NEED A BETTER SELF IMAGE.  IT IS A 

LIE.  WE ALL NEED GOD TO HELP US SEE THE DESPERATE 

WICKEDNESS OF OUR TRUE CONDITION.  IT IS ONLY THEN THAT WE 

CAN ALLOW GOD TO HELP US WITH THIS PROBLEM.  IT IS A 

PROBLEM THAT IS OVERWHELMING FOR EVERYONE.  ONLY GOD CAN 

HELP WITH THIS MOST OVERWHELMING OF ALL PROBLEMS.



Jeremiah 17:11   PG 977

[As] the partridge sitteth [on eggs], and hatcheth [them] 

not; [so] he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall 

leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall 

be a fool.

DON'T EVEN CONSIDER UNRIGHTEOUS MEANS OF GAINING RICHES.  

IT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD.  IT WILL TURN YOU AWAY FROM GOD 

AND CAUSE YOU TO DIE A FOOL.



Jeremiah 17:13-14  PG 977 -978

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be 

ashamed, [and] they that depart from me shall be written 

in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the 

fountain of living waters.

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I 

shall be saved: for thou [art] my praise.

HEAL ME, O LORD, AND I SHALL BE HEALED OF MY DESPERATELY 

WICKED HEART.  THE LORD CAN SAVE US.  IN NO WAY ARE WE 

CAPABLE OF SAVING OURSELF.  PRAISE THE LORD.



AUG 1    JEREMIAH  18, 19, 20                PG 978 - 983



Jeremiah 17:22-23  PG 982

Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the 

sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the 

sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made 

their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive 

instruction.

MAN NEEDS A DAY OF REST.  A STORY WAS TOLD ABOUT THE WAGON 

TRAINS HEADING WEST ABOUT 150 YEARS AGO.  SOME IN THE 

TRAIN WERE GOING TO REST ON THE SABBATH.  THE TRAIN LEFT 

THEM BEHIND.  BEFORE THE TRAIN HAD REACHED THEIR 

DESTINATION THE GROUP WHO HAD RESTED THAT ONE DAY IN SEVEN 

HAD LONG PASSED THEM.  THE LIVESTOCK WHICH THOSE WHO HAD 

RESTED WERE IN GOOD CONDITION BRINGING TOP DOLLAR.  WHILE 

THOSE WHO DROVE THEIR STOCK EVERY DAY WERE IN SUCH POOR 

CONDITION THAT SOME COULD NOT BE SOLD.  JESUS EXPLAINED 

IT.  THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN AND NOT MAN FOR THE 

SABBATH.  WE MUST HAVE REST AND THAT REST OFTEN CAN ONLY 

BE FOUND AS WE WORSHIP GOD.  OUR SOULS NEED REST AND 

REFRESHMENT.



Jeremiah 18:5-6  PG 979

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? 

saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay [is] in the potter's 

hand, so [are] ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

GOD AS CREATOR HAS THE RIGHT TO DO WITH ALL OF HIS 

CREATION JUST AS HE CHOOSES.



Jeremiah 18:8-10  PG  979

If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from 

their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do 

unto them.

And [at what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, 

and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant [it];

If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then 

I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would 

benefit them.

GOD RESPONDS TO THE FREE WILL CHOICES WE MAKE.  THERE IS 

LITTLE DOUBT THAT AMERICA HAS BEEN BLESSED GREATLY BY GOD.  

NO OTHER NATION HAS BEEN SO BLESSED.  THE FOUNDERS OF THIS 

NATION SOUGHT TO FOUND THE NATION FOR GOD'S GLORY.  THIS 

NATION HAS TURNED ITS BACK ON THE TRUE GOD AND SEEKS THE 

gODS OF LUCIFER AND ANTICHRIST.  WITHOUT REPENTANCE WE MAY 

BE SURE OF JUDGMENT ON THIS GREAT LAND SO BLESSED BY GOD.



Jeremiah 18:12   PG 982

And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after 

our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination 

of his evil heart.

WE ALL HAVE EVIL HEARTS.  ONLY GOD CAN FIX THEM.  WHEN 

EVERYONE KEEPS DOING THEIR OWN THING - THERE IS NO HOPE.

Jeremiah 20:7  PG 982

O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou 

art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision 

daily, every one mocketh me.

EVEN GOD'S ANOINTED PROPHETS GET DEPRESSED.  IT IS SO EASY 

TO WALLOW IN SELF PITY.  THAT WILL NOT HELP ANYTHING.  

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY OUT OF DEPRESSION AND SELF PITY FOR 

YOU?



Jeremiah 20:9   PG 982

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any 

more in his name. But [his word] was in mine heart as a 

burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with 

forbearing, and I could not [stay].

JEREMIAH SAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS FEELINGS OF SELF PITY 

AND BETRAYAL THAT HE WILL NOT SPEAK ANY MORE OF GOD'S 

WORDS.  BUT THERE WAS NO WAY THAT HE COULD DO SUCH A 

THING.  THE WORD OF GOD BURNED WITHIN HIM.  THERE WAS NO 

WAY HE COULD HOLD IT IN.  I CAN REALLY RELATE TO THE WAY 

JEREMIAH FEELS.  NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR.  BUT IT BURNS 

WITHIN YOU TO THE POINT THAT YOU MUST LET IT OUT.



Jeremiah 20:11 & 13  PG 982 -983

But the LORD [is] with me as a mighty terrible one: 

therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not 

prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not 

prosper: [their] everlasting confusion shall never be 

forgotten.

Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath 

delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

JEREMIAH KNOWS THE WAY OUT OF THE PITS OF DEPRESSION AND 

SELF PITY.  HE THINKS ABOUT HIS WONDERFUL MIGHTY GOD.  HIS 

WAY OUT IS OUR WAY OUT.  PRAISE GOD!  PRAISE GOD!  PRAISE 

GOD!  IF YOU FEEL TOO BADLY TO PRAISE HIM ON YOUR OWN READ 

THE PSALMS.  HERE ARE SOME GOOD ONES THAT I HAVE HAD TO 

RELY ON HEAVILY - PS 103, PS 34, PS 46, PS 23, PS 1, PS 3, 

PS 8, PS 91, PS 4, PS 33, PS 42.  PRAISE GOD!  TRY TO PUT 

A FAVORITE PSALM TO MEMORY.  LEARN TO SING PRAISE SONGS IN 

YOUR MIND.  IT IS THE WAY OUT OF THE PITS NO MATTER HOW 

DEEP THOSE PITS MAY BE.









AUG 2    2 KINGS 22, 23   2 CHRON 34, 35      PG 983 - 987



II Chronicles 34:10  PG 983

And they put [it] in the hand of the workmen that had the 

oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to 

the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to 

repair and amend the house:

JOSIAH WAS PERHAPS THE MOST GODLY KING THAT THE JEWS EVER 

HAD.  HIS FATHER AMON AND HIS GRANDFATHER MANASSEH WERE 

TWO OF THE MOST WICKED OF JUDAH'S KINGS.  DR. SMITH'S 

COMMENTS ARE VERY GOOD.  JEREMIAH'S WEEPING, HELL, FIRE, 

AND BRIMSTONE PREACHING MUST HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE 

THAN JEREMIAH REALIZED.  IT IS NEVER IN VAIN THAT WORD OF 

GOD IS BROUGHT FORTH.



II Chronicles 34:15   PG 984

And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I 

have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. 

And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.

THE BOOK OF THE LAW AND THE COVENANT HAD BEEN COLLECTING 

DUST IN THE TEMPLE FOR GENERATIONS.  THE KINGS OF THE JEWS 

WERE REQUIRED NOT ONLY TO READ FROM THIS LAW EVERY DAY BUT 

ALSO TO WRITE IN THEIR OWN HAND THE BOOKS OF GENESIS, 

EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, AND DEUTERONOMY.  JOSIAH WAS 

PERHAPS THE ONLY ONE OF THE KINGS BESIDES DAVID WHO EVER 

DID WHAT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO REGARDING THIS LAW.



II Chronicles 34:18-19 & 21  PG 984

Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the 

priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before 

the king.

And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of 

the law, that he rent his clothes.

Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left 

in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book 

that is found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that 

is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept 

the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in 

this book.

JOSIAH DID EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING HE TORE HIS CLOTHES.  

HE MOURNED IN REPENTANCE AND SOUGHT GOD'S DIRECTIONS.



II Chronicles 34:23-28  PG 984

And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, 

Tell ye the man that sent you to me,

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this 

place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the 

curses that are written in the book which they have read 

before the king of Judah:

Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense 

unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with 

all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be 

poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of 

the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD 

God of Israel [concerning] the words which thou hast 

heard;

Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble 

thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against 

this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and 

humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, 

and weep before me; I have even heard [thee] also, saith 

the LORD.

Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt 

be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine 

eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, 

and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the 

king word again.

HULDAH THE PROPHETESS GIVES THE BAD NEWS AND THE GOOD NEWS 

FROM GOD TO THE KING.  BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HAVE BROKEN 

EVERY PART OF THE COVENANT GOD WAS GOING TO JUDGE THE 

PEOPLE.  SINCE JOSIAH WAS HUMBLING HIMSELF BEFORE THE LORD 

GOD PROMISED NOT TO BRING THIS JUDGMENT OF DESTRUCTION ON 

THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN THE LIFE OF JOSIAH.



II Chronicles 34:30-31   PG 984 -985

And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all 

the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and 

the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great 

and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the 

book of the covenant that was found in the house of the 

LORD.

And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant 

before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his 

commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with 

all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words 

of the covenant which are written in this book.

THE KING IMMEDIATELY CALLED ALL THE PEOPLE TOGETHER TO LET 

THEM KNOW WHAT WAS IN STORE FOR THEM AND WHAT GOD HAD 

EXPECTED OF THEM.  THE KING MADE A COVENANT WITH ALL HIS 

HEART TO FOLLOW WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF 

GOD.



II Chronicles 34:33   PG 985

And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the 

countries that [pertained] to the children of Israel, and 

made all that were present in Israel to serve, [even] to 

serve the LORD their God. [And] all his days they departed 

not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.

JOSIAH MEANT WHAT HE SAID.  HE CLEANED HOUSE.  HE WASTED 

NO TIME, EFFORT OR EXPENSE TO GET ALL OF HIS COUNTRY TO 

GET THEIR ACT CLEANED UP.  WE NEED TO PRAY FOR THIS KIND 

OF GODLY LEADERSHIP.  HE DID EVERYTHING A KING COULD 

POSSIBLY DO TO TURN HIS COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.



II Chronicles 35:7   PG 986

And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and 

kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were 

present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three 

thousand bullocks: these [were] of the king's substance.

GOOD KING JOSIAH GAVE 30,000 PASSOVER LAMBS FROM HIS OWN 

FLOCKS SO THAT THE POOR PEOPLE OF JUDAH COULD PROPERLY 

CELEBRATE THE PASSOVER.



II Chronicles 35:18   PG 987

And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from 

the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings 

of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the 

priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that 

were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

NOT SINCE KING DAVID HAD THE NATION OF JUDAH BEEN SO 

FAITHFUL IN ITS OBEDIENCE.  JEREMIAH'S HARD PREACHING HAS 

HAD A GOOD EFFECT.  HOWEVER, DR. SMITH POINTS OUT, THAT 

THREE CENTURIES OF SINNING HAVE SET IN MOTION CERTAIN 

CONSEQUENCES THAT THIS NATIONAL RENEWAL AND REPENTANCE 

CANNOT STOP.









AUG 3    2 KINGS 23   JEREMIAH 22, 26        PG 987 - 991



II Chronicles 35:21-22   PG 988

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do 

with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee 

this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for 

God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from 

[meddling with] God, who [is] with me, that he destroy 

thee not.

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but 

disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and 

hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of 

God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

HERE IS A CURIOUS THING.  GOD SENT PHARAOH NECHO TO ATTACK 

BABYLON.  WHY WAS JOSIAH COMPELLED TO GO FIGHT AGAINST 

HIM?  JOSIAH COULD NOT ACCEPT THAT GOD COULD BE USING 

PHARAOH NECHO HIS INSTRUMENT.  WHAT SHOULD JOSIAH HAVE 

DONE?  PERHAPS THIS CAN BE A LESSON TO US THAT GOD WILL 

CHOOSE HIS OWN INSTRUMENTS TO ACCOMPLISH HIS OWN PURPOSES.  

WE NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR BEING PREJUDICED AGAINST ANYONE 

WHOM THE LORD MAY BE USING.  NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT 

JOSIAH SOUGHT COUNCIL FROM THE PRIESTS OR PROPHETS BEFORE 

GOING TO BATTLE WITH PHARAOH NECO.



II Chronicles 35:25  PG 988

And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men 

and the singing women spake of Josiah in their 

lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in 

Israel: and, behold, they [are] written in the 

lamentations.

THE LAMENTATIONS REFERRED TO HERE ARE NOT THE LAMENTATIONS 

WHICH WE HAVE IN SCRIPTURE.  THEY WERE WRITTEN ABOUT 35 

YEARS PRIOR TO THE LAMENTATIONS WHICH ARE IN THE BIBLE.



II Kings 23:34   PG 988

And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in 

the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to 

Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, 

and died there.

PHARAOH TAKES JEHOAHAZ, THE SON OF JOSIAH THAT THE PEOPLE 

HAD ANOINTED KING, TO EGYPT AND EXECUTES HIM.  PHARAOH 

NECHO SETS HIS HALF-BROTHER ELIAKIM OR JEHOIAKIM ON THE 

THRONE OF JUDAH.  BOTH OF THESE SONS OF JOSIAH WERE EVIL.  

THE SPIRITUAL RENEWAL WHICH JOSIAH HAD STARTED IN JUDAH 

WAS SHORT LIVED.  THERE WAS A PERIOD OF 13 YEARS BETWEEN 

WHEN THE LAW WAS FOUND AND READ TO JOSIAH AND WHEN HE 

DIED.  SINCE THERE HAD BEEN 300 YEARS OF BACKSLIDING AND 

ONLY 13 YEARS OF REVIVAL FOLLOWED BY EVIL KINGS IT WAS NO 

WONDER THAT JUDAH WAS GOING TO BE JUDGED AND GO INTO 

CAPTIVITY.



Jeremiah 22:13  PG 989

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, 

and his chambers by wrong; [that] useth his neighbour's 

service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

THE WORKMAN IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE.  DON'T EVER CONSIDER 

CHEATING ANY LABORER OUT OF HIS JUST WAGES.  UNRIGHTEOUS 

GAIN WILL NEVER GIVE YOU ANY SATISFACTION.



Jeremiah 22:16   PG 989

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] 

well [with him: was] not this to know me? saith the LORD.

JEREMIAH PRAISES JOSIAH FOR HIS GOOD WORKS.  THERE IS A 

VERY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE HERE.  DO YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD?  

DO YOU KNOW THERE IS A WAY IN WHICH WE CAN TRULY TOUCH 

GOD'S HEART AND PROVE OUR LOVE FOR HIM?  IN FACT, GOD SAYS 

THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO KNOW HIM.  TO HELP THE POOR.  TO 

GIVE TO THOSE IN NEED PROVES YOUR LOVE FOR GOD.  IT IS THE 

MOST CERTAIN PATH TO RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS OF GOD.



Jeremiah 26:2-3   PG 989

Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S 

house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come 

to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I 

command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his 

evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I 

purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their 

doings.

JEREMIAH DID NOT TICKLE THE PEOPLE'S EARS WITH HIS 

PREACHING.  IF THE PEOPLE WOULD HEAR JEREMIAH'S HARD 

PREACHING AND TAKE IT TO HEART THEY COULD REPENT AND GOD'S 

JUDGMENT OF JUDAH COULD BE AVOIDED.  GOD RESPONDS TO OUR 

FREE WILL CHOICES.  HE WANTS TO BLESS US.  WE FORCE HIM TO 

BRING JUDGMENT ON US BY CHOOSING EVIL.



Jeremiah 26:7-8  PG 990

So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard 

Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of 

speaking all that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak 

unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and 

all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

IT IS THE SAME WAY TODAY.  IF A PREACHER PREACHES 

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGMENT HE WILL BE VOTED OUT OF THE 

CHURCH EVEN BEFORE THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING.  IN FACT THIS 

IS ONE OF THE END TIME SIGNS THAT SURELY HAS COME TO PASS 

THAT THEY WOULD HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS TO SCRATCH AND 

TICKLE THEIR EARS.  THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT GOING TO JUST 

TELL JEREMIAH TO GO SOMEPLACE ELSE.  THEY ARE GOING TO 

KILL HIM.



Jeremiah 26:12-16   PG 990

Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the 

people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this 

house and against this city all the words that ye have 

heard.

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey 

the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent 

him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as 

seemeth good and meet unto you.

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye 

shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and 

upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a 

truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these 

words in your ears.

Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests 

and to the prophets; This man [is] not worthy to die: for 

he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.

WHAT COURAGE AND BOLDNESS IS AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO WOULD 

BE IN TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO GOD.  JEREMIAH SAYS - THE LORD 

TOLD ME TO SPEAK ALL THESE WORDS.  IF YOU REPENT YOU WILL 

NOT HAVE TO RECEIVE GOD'S JUDGMENT.  YOU HAVE ME IN YOUR 

HANDS.  IF YOU WANT TO KILL ME, GO AHEAD.  JUST KNOW THIS, 

YOU WILL BE SHEDDING THE INNOCENT BLOOD OF SOMEONE WHO IS 

DOING JUST WHAT THE LORD TOLD HIM TO DO.



Jeremiah 26:20 & 23   PG 990 - 991

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of 

the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, 

who prophesied against this city and against this land 

according to all the words of Jeremiah:

And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought 

him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, 

and cast his dead body into the graves of the common 

people.

URIJAH PROPHESIED THE SAME MESSAGE THAT JEREMIAH GAVE.  HE 

HAD TO FLEE TO EGYPT.  KING JEHOIAKIM HAD HIM BROUGHT BACK 

AND KILLED URIJAH HIMSELF.











AUG 4   JEREMIAH 46                         PG 991 - 994



Jeremiah 46:27  PG 993

But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not 

dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from 

afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; 

and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and 

none shall make [him] afraid.

GOD TELLS HIS PEOPLE THAT HE WILL NOT FORGET THEM EVEN 

THOUGH THEY HAVE FORCED HIM TO GIVE THEM THE JUDGMENT OF 

CAPTIVITY.  HE WILL MIRACULOUSLY BRING THEM BACK FROM 

CAPTIVITY TO THEIR HOMELAND.



Jeremiah 46:28   PG 993

Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I 

[am] with thee; for I will make a full end of all the 

nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a 

full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I 

not leave thee wholly unpunished.

THIS COULD BE AN EXCEEDINGLY SERIOUS MESSAGE FOR AMERICA 

AND THE OTHER NATIONS OF THE WORLD.  GOD IS NOT GOING TO 

MAKE A FULL END OF ISRAEL.  GOD'S JUDGMENT WILL BE GIVEN 

TO ISRAEL IN MEASURE.  GOD IS GOING TO JUDGE ISRAEL BUT 

NOT IN WRATH.  GOD WILL CONTROL THE JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL.  

ALL NATIONS WHERE THE JEWS HAVE BEEN DISPERSED GOD WILL 

MAKE A FULL END.  FULL END - TOTAL DESTRUCTION.  THIS IS 

NOT DISCIPLINE OR CONTROLLED JUDGMENT.  THIS VERSE SPEAKS 

OF THE WRATH OF GOD BEING POURED OUT ON ALL NATIONS WHERE 

THE JEWS HAVE BEEN DISPERSED.  WHAT ABOUT AMERICA?  

AMERICA HAS MORE JEWS THAN ANY NATION ON EARTH INCLUDING 

ISRAEL.  WE MUST THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF 

THIS VERSE AND THE FACT THAT ISRAEL IS BEING REGATHERED TO 

DWELL WITHOUT FEAR UNDER THE LORD'S PROTECTION.











AUG 5   HABAKKUK                            PG 994 - 999



Habakkuk 1:1-3  PG 995

The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! 

[even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not 

save!

Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold 

grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and 

there are [that] raise up strife and contention.

HABAKKUK ASKS SOME HARD QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE PROBABLY 

ALL WONDERED ABOUT.  HOW LONG SHALL I CRY?  DOES GOD SEEM 

DISTANT?  DOES HE SOMETIMES SEEM NOT TO HEAR OUR PRAYERS?  

WHY DO WE SEE SUCH AN INCREASE OF WICKEDNESS AND VIOLENCE?  

WHY DO WE SEE STRIFE AND CONTENTION EVEN IN THE CHURCH AND 

IN OUR FAMILY?  THESE ARE GOOD TOUGH QUESTIONS THAT GOD 

WANTS US TO ASK.  HAVE YOU FOUND THE ANSWERS TO ANY OF 

THESE QUESTIONS?  HABAKKUK COMES TO THE RIGHT CONCLUSION.  

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION AND EVEN TRY TO MEMORIZE THE 

CONCLUSION OF HABAKKUK'S LITTLE BOOK.



Habakkuk 1:5-6  PG 995

Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder 

marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, 

[which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you].

For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty 

nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, 

to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.

EVEN IF GOD TOLD THE PEOPLE THAT IT WAS HIS HAND LIFTING 

UP THE BABYLONIANS NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE IT.  THESE PEOPLE 

WERE RUTHLESS AND THE BADDEST OF THE BAD.  EVERYONE WOULD 

THINK GOD COULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SUCH AN EVIL BUNCH 

OF PEOPLE.  BUT IT WAS GOD'S CHOICE TO USE THESE WICKED 

BABYLONIANS AS HIS INSTRUMENT OF JUDGMENT.  IF GOD WERE 

SET AGAINST THE POWERFUL BABYLONIANS THEY COULD NOT STAND.  

THE HEATHEN COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS TRUTH.



Habakkuk 1:13   PG 996

[Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst 

not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them 

that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the 

wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he?

HERE IS ANOTHER OF HABAKKUK'S HARD QUESTIONS.  WHY DO THE 

WICKED SEEM TO TRIUMPH OVER THE RIGHTEOUS?  HAVE YOU 

REACHED ANY CONCLUSIONS TO THIS QUESTION?  HABAKKUK COMES 

TO THE RIGHT CONCLUSION.  WE NEED TO KNOW IT.  PAY 

ATTENTION TO HABAKKUK'S CONCLUSION.



Habakkuk 2:1-4  PG 996

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and 

will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I 

shall answer when I am reproved.

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and 

make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth 

it.

For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the 

end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for 

it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in 

him: but the just shall live by his faith.

HABAKKUK HAS POURED THE QUESTIONS OF HIS SOUL TO THE LORD.  

HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO WAIT FOR GOD TO ANSWER HIM.  HE 

EXPECTS TO BE REPROVED FOR HIS DARING QUESTIONS.  BUT GOD 

WILL ALWAYS WELCOME OUR HONEST QUESTIONS.  WE JUST MUST BE 

CAREFUL NOT TO LET OUR WHY'S BECOME A WHINE.  HABAKKUK HAS 

ASKED GOD SOME VERY TOUGH QUESTIONS.  GOD ANSWERS HABAKKUK 

WITH A VISION.  GOD SAYS YOU JUST WAIT.  GOD IS INDEED 

ALWAYS IN CONTROL.  NOW GET HOLD OF THIS PROFOUND ANSWER - 

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.  DO YOU GET IT?  THE JUST 

SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.  THIS IS NOT THE FULL CONCLUSION, BUT 

THIS IS WHERE WE MUST ALL START TO EVER FIND THE ANSWERS.  

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.



Habakkuk 2:12-16  PG 997

Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and 

stablisheth a city by iniquity!

Behold, [is it] not of the LORD of hosts that the people 

shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary 

themselves for very vanity?

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the 

glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest 

thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that 

thou mayest look on their nakedness!

Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and 

let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right 

hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing 

[shall be] on thy glory.

GOD LETS HABAKKUK KNOW THAT GOD IS MORE KEENLY AWARE OF 

AND GRIEVED BY EVIL THAN WE COULD EVER BE.  GOD'S KINDNESS 

IS MEANT TO LEAD US TO REPENTANCE.  GOD WILL NOT ALLOW 

EVIL TO CONTINUE WITHOUT GOD HIMSELF BRINGING AN END TO 

EVIL.  SOME DAY THE WHOLE EARTH WILL BE FILLED WITH THE 

KNOWLEDGE AND GLORY OF GOD.  THE SMART PEOPLE WILL SEEK 

GOD'S KNOWLEDGE AND GLORY NOW EVEN WHILE THE UNGODLY 

APPEAR TO PROSPER.



Habakkuk 2:20   PG 998

But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth 

keep silence before him.

HABAKKUK IS GETTING IT FIGURED OUT.  THE LORD IS IN HIS 

HOLY TEMPLE.  THE LORD IS GOD.  THE LORD IS IN CONTROL.  

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE HOW OUT OF CONTROL YOU SEE 

THE WORLD TO BE.  GOD IS GOD.  GOD IS IN CONTROL.  LET ALL 

THE EARTH KEEP SILENCE BEFORE HIM.  GOD WILL SOME DAY SHUT 

EVERY VAIN AND PROUD MOUTH.  GET READY FOR HABAKKUK'S 

CONCLUSION.  MAKE IT YOUR CONCLUSION AND YOU WILL FIND 

PEACE FOR YOUR SOUL.



Habakkuk 3:17-18  PG 999   HABAKKUK'S CONCLUSION

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] 

fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall 

fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall 

be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in 

the stalls:

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of 

my salvation.

IF THE FIG TREE DOESN'T BLOSSOM,

IF THERE IS NO FRUIT IN THE VINES,

IF THE OLIVE TREE FAILS,

IF ALL CROPS OF THE FIELD FAIL,

IF ALL THE CATTLE ARE GONE,

IF I AM STARVING TO DEATH - YET WILL I REJOICE IN THE 

LORD.  I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION.



DO YOU GET IT?  THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.  I WILL 

PRAISE GOD IF I AM STARVING TO DEATH.  I WILL NOT TAKE THE 

SCANNER MARK TATTOO OF ANTICHRIST IN MY RIGHT HAND OR 

FOREHEAD.  I WILL PRAISE THE LORD.  THE LORD MAY LET HIM 

APPEAR TO PROSPER FOR SEVEN YEARS BUT THE LORD IS IN 

CONTROL.  I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION - NO 

MATTER WHAT.  IF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS HATE ME - I WILL 

REJOICE IN THE LORD.  IF MY CHILDREN TURN AGAINST ME - I 

WILL STILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION.  IF I AM TAKEN 

TO BE EXECUTED - I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION.  

HABAKKUK FINISHES HIS CONCLUSION IN VERSE 19.



Habakkuk 3:19   PG 999

The LORD God [is] my strength, and he will make my feet 

like hinds' [feet], and he will make me to walk upon mine 

high places. To the chief singer on my stringed 

instruments.

THE LORD GOD IS MY STRENGTH.  NO MATTER WHAT - THE LORD 

GOD IS MY JOY AND STRENGTH.  THE LORD GOD WILL ULTIMATELY 

LIFT ME UP.  NO MATTER WHAT.







AUG 6   JEREMIAH 25, 35  2 KINGS 24         PG 999 - 1003



Jeremiah 25:1   PG 1000

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people 

of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah 

king of Judah, that [was] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar 

king of Babylon;

HERE IS JUST ONE OF HUNDREDS OF VERSES WHICH HAVE VERIFIED 

THE BIBLE'S HISTORICAL RECORDS TO BE THE MOST ACCURATE OF 

ALL ANCIENT WRITINGS.  HISTORY TRULY IS HIS STORY.  THE 

ONLY THING WE SEEM TO LEARN FROM HISTORY IS THAT WE 

CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO LEARN FROM HISTORY.



Jeremiah 25:4   PG 1000

And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the 

prophets, rising early and sending [them]; but ye have not 

hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

IT NEVER SEEMS TO CHANGE.  WE COULD BE SAVED FROM SO MUCH 

GRIEF AND HARDSHIP IF WE WOULD LISTEN TO GOD AND 

DILIGENTLY STUDY THE BIBLE.



Jeremiah 25:8-9   PG 1000

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have 

not heard my words,

Behold, I will send and take all the families of the 

north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of 

Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this 

land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all 

these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, 

and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and 

perpetual desolations.

NEBUCHADREZZAR TOOK JUDAH INTO CAPTIVITY BECAUSE THE 

PEOPLE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO GOD.  HOW DO YOU HEAR GOD?  

READ THE BIBLE AND MAKE THE CORRECTIONS IN YOUR LIFE THAT 

GOD WILL MOST CERTAINLY LET YOU HEAR IF YOU ARE WILLING TO 

HEAR.  IT IS VERY HUMBLING BECAUSE ALL OF OUR HEARTS ARE 

DESPERATELY WICKED AND IT IS OFTEN PAINFUL WHEN THE LIGHT 

OF GOD'S TRUTH SHINES ON THE DARKNESS OF OUR HEARTS.



Jeremiah 25:11-12  PG 1001

And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an 

astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of 

Babylon seventy years.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are 

accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, 

and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and 

the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual 

desolations.

THE CHILDREN GOING INTO CAPTIVITY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL 

THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THAT THEIR FREEDOM AND 

RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND WAS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO 

WITH CERTAINTY.  GOD HAS ALSO LET OUR GENERATION KNOW A 

SIMILAR THING TO GIVE US A BLESSED HOPE.  WE DO NOT KNOW 

WHEN THE 7 YEARS OF GREAT TABULATION BEGINS BECAUSE IT      

WILL BEGIN SO GRADUALLY.  WHENEVER WE DO HOWEVER REALIZE 

THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, WE WILL KNOW THAT IN LESS 

THAN 7 YEARS OUR BLESSED HOPE WILL BE REALIZED.  JESUS IS 

COMING, NOT IN SECRET, BUT IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY.  

EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM.  THOSE WHO HAVE REMAINED FAITHFUL 

IN TRIBULATION AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST 

ANTICHRIST WILL BE RAPTURED WHEN THEIR EYES SEE HIM 

RETURNING.  THOSE WHO HAVE NOT REMAINED FAITHFUL AND HAVE 

TAKEN THE MARK OF THE BEAST WILL WANT TO DIE AND NOT BE 

ABLE TO DIE.



Jeremiah 25:29-31  PG 1001

For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called 

by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall 

not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all 

the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and 

say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter 

his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar 

upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that 

tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the 

earth.

A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for 

the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will 

plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked 

to the sword, saith the LORD.

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 WORLD WARS.  YET EVEN IN THE SECOND 

WORLD WAR THERE WERE PLACES ON EARTH WHERE BULLETS WERE 

NOT FIRED AND BOMBS WERE NOT DROPPED.  WHEN GOD CALLS FOR 

A SWORD UPON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH, MUST REFER 

TO THE 2ND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.  THE LORD 

SHALL ROAR FROM ON HIGH AGAINST ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE 

EARTH.  HE WILL HAVE A CONTROVERSY WITH THE NATIONS WHO 

HAVE ALL FALLEN UNDER THE REIGN OF ANTICHRIST AND HIS NEW 

WORLD ORDER.  HE WILL DESTROY ALL THE WICKED WITH THE 

SWORD OF THE POWER OF HIS WORD AT HIS POWERFUL AND 

GLORIOUS RETURN TO EARTH.



Jeremiah 35:6-7  PG 1002

But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son 

of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink 

no wine, [neither ye], nor your sons for ever:

Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant 

vineyard, nor have [any]: but all your days ye shall dwell 

in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye 

[be] strangers.

THE RECHABITES HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED NEVER TO BUILD HOUSES 

AND NEVER TO DRINK WINE.  THEY HAD ALWAYS REMAINED 

FAITHFUL TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS OF THEIR FATHER.  AS A 

RESULT WHEN THE LAND WHERE THEY WERE DWELLING WAS BEING 

ATTACKED BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR, THEY WERE ABLE TO PICK UP AND 

GO TO JERUSALEM.



Jeremiah 35:13-14  PG 1003

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and 

tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 

Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? 

saith the LORD.

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded 

his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this 

day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: 

notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and 

speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.

THE LORD HAD JEREMIAH TEST THEM AND SEE FOR HIMSELF THAT 

THE RECHABITES WERE FAITHFUL TO THE INSTRUCTION OF THEIR 

FATHER NOT TO DRINK WINE.  JEREMIAH TELLS JUDAH HOW BAD IT 

IS THAT THE RECHABITES COULD OBEY THEIR FATHER AND THAT NO 

MATTER HOW MUCH THEY WERE WARNED THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH WOULD 

NOT OBEY GOD.



Jeremiah 35:18-19   PG 1003

And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus 

saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye 

have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and 

kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he 

hath commanded you:

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; 

Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand 

before me for ever.

OVER AND OVER WE SEE HOW GOD BLESSES AND REWARDS OBEDIENCE 

AND HOW REBELLION IS PUNISHED.  FEW REALIZE THAT REBELLION 

IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT AND THAT OBEDIENCE IS BETTER 

THAN SACRIFICE.  THE RECHABITES DID NOT GO INTO CAPTIVITY 

WITH THE REST OF JUDAH.  THEY SIMPLY PICKED UP AND MOVED 

AGAIN OUT OF THE PATH OF THE ARMIES OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR.







AUG 8   DANIEL 1, 2                     PG 1006 -1010



Daniel 1:1-2  PG 1006

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah 

came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and 

besieged it.

And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, 

with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he 

carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; 

and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his 

god.

COMPARING THESE VERSES WITH JEREMIAH 36:1-3 WE SEE THAT IT 

WAS A YEAR AFTER NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD DEFEATED JEHOIAKIM AND 

TAKEN CAPTIVES AND TREASURES BACK TO BABYLON THAT GOD TOLD 

JEREMIAH TO WRITE THE SCROLL WITH ALL OF THE PROPHECIES.  

GOD WAS GIVING THE REMAINING PEOPLE OF JUDAH AND KING 

JEHOIAKIM A LAST CHANCE TO REPENT.  IN HIS ABSOLUTELY 

HOPELESS SITUATION JEHOIAKIM INSULTS GOD AND BURNS THE 

SCROLL PERSONALLY PAGE BY PAGE.



Daniel 1:4   PG 1006

Children in whom [was] no blemish, but well favoured, and 

skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and 

understanding science, and such as [had] ability in them 

to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach 

the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

THE BABYLONIANS WERE RUTHLESS.  YET THEY WERE WISE EMPIRE 

BUILDERS.  THE KING SOUGHT OUT THE BRIGHTEST AND STRONGEST 

OF THE CHILDREN WHO WERE TAKEN CAPTIVE AND SOUGHT TO 

PREPARE THEM TO BE VASSAL RULERS OF THE CAPTIVES.  THIS IS 

A TIME PROVEN MEANS OF QUELLING POSSIBLE INSURRECTION.



Daniel 1:6-7   PG 1006

Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, 

Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he 

gave unto Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to 

Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to 

Azariah, of Abed-nego.

AMONG THESE OUTSTANDING YOUNG CAPTIVES WERE DANIEL AND HIS 

THREE FRIENDS SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO OF FIERY 

FURNACE FAME.



Daniel 1:9-10   PG 1006

Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love 

with the prince of the eunuchs.

And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my 

lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your 

drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than 

the children which [are] of your sort? then shall ye make 

[me] endanger my head to the king.

DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS KNEW THE WORD OF GOD.  THEY DID NOT 

WANT TO DRINK THE KING'S WINE AND EAT THE PORK AND OTHER 

NON KOSHER FOODS.  THE PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS WAS GOING TO 

LOOSE HIS LIFE IF HE DID NOT FOLLOW ORDERS TO SEE THAT 

THESE CHOSEN CHILDREN BE PROPERLY INDOCTRINATED INTO THE 

BABYLONIAN CULTURE INCLUDING DRUNKENNESS AND RICH FOODS 

EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN AND HELD TO BE ABOMINABLE BY THE JEWS.



Daniel 1:12   PG 1006

Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them 

give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

DANIEL PROPOSES A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION.  JUST CHECK US OUT 

AFTER 10 DAYS AND SEE IF WE HAVE NOT GAINED MORE WEIGHT 

AND ARE IN BETTER PHYSICAL CONDITION THAN THE OTHER 

PRIVILEGED CHILDREN WHO WERE IN COMPETITION WITH THEM.



Daniel 1:15-17 & 19-21  PG 1006

And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared 

fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did 

eat the portion of the king's meat.

Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the 

wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and 

skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had 

understanding in all visions and dreams.

And the king communed with them; and among them all was 

found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 

therefore stood they before the king.

And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the 

king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than 

all the magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his 

realm.

And Daniel continued [even] unto the first year of king 

Cyrus.

GOD HONORED THE OBEDIENCE OF DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS.  THEY 

EXCELLED IN EVERY ASPECT BEYOND THEIR PEERS.  WHENEVER WE 

ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN OBEYING GOD OR OBEYING MEN WE 

SHOULD CHOOSE TO OBEY GOD.  WE SHOULD ALSO NOTICE HOW 

DANIEL GAVE A DIPLOMATIC AND CREATIVE ALTERNATIVE CHOICE 

TO THE AUTHORITY PLACED OVER HIM.  HIS WAY WAS NOT THAT OF 

DEFIANT REBELLION.  HE OFFERED A CREATIVE ALTERNATIVE AND 

AVOIDED REBELLION.  REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT 

AND MUST BE AVOIDED.



Daniel 2:4-5  PG 1006

Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, 

live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will 

shew the interpretation.

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is 

gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, 

with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in 

pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR KNEW THE CHALDEAN WIZARDS WOULD COME UP 

WITH SOME SORT OF ANSWER TO INTERPRET HIS DREAM.  HE KNEW 

THE DREAM WAS IMPORTANT.  THE DREAM MADE A TREMENDOUS 

IMPRESSION ON HIM.  THE IMAGE WAS PROBABLY MADE IN HIS 

LIKENESS.  HE TOLD THE MAGICIANS THAT THEY MUST BOTH TELL 

HIM THE DREAM AND THE INTERPRETATION.  HE WANTED A SURE 

ANSWER FROM GOD REGARDING THE INTERPRETATION OF THIS 

DREAM.  HE ALSO KNEW THAT IF THE DREAM WAS FROM GOD THAT 

GOD WOULD REVEAL THE DREAM TO SOMEONE TO GIVE HIM THE 

INTERPRETATION.  IF SOMEONE KNEW THE DREAM THEN AND ONLY 

THEN COULD HE TRUST THE INTERPRETATION.



Daniel 2:9-12  PG 1007 -1008

But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there is 

but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and 

corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be 

changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know 

that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is 

not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: 

therefore [there is] no king, lord, nor ruler, [that] 

asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or 

Chaldean.

And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and 

there is none other that can shew it before the king, 

except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and 

commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.

THE KING IN HIS WISDOM REALLY GOT TO THE CHALDEAN WIZARDS.  

HE KNEW THAT SUPERNATURAL POWER WOULD BE INVOLVED IN 

INTERPRETING THE DREAM CORRECTLY.  THE WIZARDS COULD 

EASILY FAKE ANY KIND OF INTERPRETATION.  THERE WAS NO WAY 

THEY COULD FAKE TELLING THE KING THE DREAM ITSELF.  THE 

KING KNEW THE ONLY WAY TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE 

INTERPRETATION.



Daniel 2:16-20   PG 1008

Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would 

give him time, and that he would shew the king the 

interpretation.

Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to 

Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven 

concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should 

not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.

Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night 

vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for 

ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

NOTICE HOW DANIEL SOUGHT HIS FRIENDS TO PRAY WITH HIM.  WE 

SHOULD SEEK FAITHFUL PEOPLE TO GO TO GOD AND BE IN PRAYER 

AGREEMENT.  NOTICE HOW CAREFUL DANIEL IS TO GIVE GOD THE 

GLORY.  WISDOM AND POWER ARE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD.  NO WISDOM 

CAN COMPARE WITH GOD'S WISDOM.  NO POWER IS COMPARABLE TO 

GOD'S POWER.



Daniel 2:25-30   PG 1008 - 1009

Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, 

and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives 

of Judah, that will make known unto the king the 

interpretation.

The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was] 

Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the 

dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The 

secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], 

the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto 

the king;

But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and 

maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in 

the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head 

upon thy bed, are these;

As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] 

upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he 

that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall 

come to pass.

But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] 

wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] 

sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the 

king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy 

heart.

THE KING GIVES DANIEL A GREAT CHANCE TO PROMOTE HIMSELF - 

ARE YOU ABLE TO TELL ME THE DREAM?  DANIEL SAYS THAT ONLY 

GOD CAN DO IT AND IT IS GOD WHO HAS GIVEN HIM THE DREAM.  

DANIEL IS SO VERY CAREFUL TO GIVE ALL GLORY TO GOD.



Daniel 2:31-33   PG 1009

Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great 

image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before 

thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.

This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his 

arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

AT THIS POINT THE KING IS CERTAIN OF AN ACCURATE 

INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM BECAUSE OF THE ACCURACY OF THE 

DESCRIPTION OF THE DREAM ITSELF WHICH GOD HAS GIVEN 

DANIEL.  HOW MUCH MORE CERTAIN CAN WE BE OF THE ACCURACY 

OF DANIEL'S INTERPRETATION HAVING ALMOST 2600 YEARS OF 

HISTORY PROVING THE ABSOLUTE ACCURACY OF DANIEL'S 

PROPHETIC INTERPRETATION.  PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO 

THIS AND ALL OF DANIEL'S PROPHECIES BECAUSE IT IS INDEED 

LIKELY THAT IT IS OUR GENERATION WHICH WILL WITNESS THE 

CULMINATION OF DANIEL'S PROPHECIES.  NO GENERATION WHOSE 

FEET HAVE EVER WALKED THIS PLANET ARE WITNESSING PROPHESY 

BEING FULFILLED MORE THAN OURS.  DANIEL'S PROPHECIES HERE 

AND IN THE REST OF DANIEL'S BOOK MUST GET YOUR ATTENTION.  

WAKE UP!!  GET READY!!  MOST IMPORTANTLY - STAY READY!!!!



Daniel 2:34-35  PG 1009

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, 

which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron 

and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and 

the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the 

chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried 

them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone 

that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled 

the whole earth.

LET'S TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT WHAT ELSE THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT 

THIS STONE.  Psalms 118:22 The stone [which] the builders 

refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.  Isaiah 

8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of 

stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of 

Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of 

Jerusalem.  Isaiah 28:16  Therefore thus saith the Lord 

GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a 

tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: 

he that believeth shall not make haste.  Zechariah 3:9 For 

behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one 

stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the 

graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will 

remove the iniquity of that land in one day.  Matthew 

21:44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be 

broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him 

to powder.   Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this 

scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become 

the head of the corner:  Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, 

and said, What is this then that is written, The stone 

which the builders rejected, the same is become the head 

of the corner?  Luke 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that 

stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it 

will grind him to powder.   Ephesians 2:20 And are built 

upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus 

Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];  I Peter 

2:4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed 

indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,  I Peter 

2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, 

Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, 

precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be 

confounded.  I Peter 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe 

[he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the 

stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the 

head of the corner,  I Peter 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, 

and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the 

word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were 

appointed.  WE MAY BE CONFIDENT THIS STONE OF WHICH DANIEL 

SPEAKS IS JESUS CHRIST.   JESUS IS COMING SOON TO PUT DOWN 

AND DESTROY FOREVER THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OF ANTICHRIST.  

JESUS WILL RULE AND REIGN OVER THE WHOLE EARTH FOR 1000 

YEARS AFTER HE DESTROYS ALL OTHER WORLD GOVERNMENT.



Daniel 2:36-38   PG 1009

This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation 

thereof before the king.

Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven 

hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of 

the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into 

thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou 

[art] this head of gold.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS THE KING WHO BROUGHT BABYLON TO BE THE 

FIRST GREAT WORLD EMPIRE.  THUS IT WAS NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S 

BABYLON WHICH WAS THE HEAD OF GOLD.



Daniel 2:39-40  PG 1009

And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to 

thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear 

rule over all the earth.

And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch 

as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and 

as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces 

and bruise.

THE SUBSEQUENT WORLD EMPIRES WERE THE SILVER EMPIRE OF THE 

MEDO-PERSIANS.  THIS WOULD BE FOLLOWED BY THE BRASS EMPIRE 

OF THE GREEKS UNDER ALEXANDER THE GREAT.  THIS WOULD BE 

FOLLOWED BY THE MIGHTY IRON RULE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE.  ITS 

DIVISION TO THE EASTERN AND WESTERN EMPIRES BEING 

SIMULATED BY THE TWO LEGS OF THE IMAGE.



Daniel 2:41-44  PG 1009

And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of 

potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be 

divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the 

iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry 

clay.

And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and 

part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and 

partly broken.

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they 

shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they 

shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed 

with clay.

And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set 

up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the 

kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall 

break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it 

shall stand for ever.

THE FEET AND TOES LIKELY REFER TO THE WORLD EMPIRE TO 

CONTROL OUR GENERATION.  THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE OF A 10 

NATION CONFEDERACY WILL FORM THE NEW WORLD ORDER UNDER 

ANTICHRIST.  DEMONIC UNIONS AND A TREMENDOUS REVIVAL OF 

DARK AGE OCCULTISM WILL MARK THIS FINAL WORLD EMPIRE WHICH 

IMMEDIATELY PRECEDES THE RETURN OF MESSIAH KING JESUS.  

GOD WILL FINALLY KICK SATAN AND THE ONE THIRD OF ALL 

FALLEN ANGELS OUT OF HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH.  THESE DEMONS 

ARE SPIRIT BEINGS WHO WILL INDWELL THE LEADERS OF THIS NEW 

WORLD ORDER AND SUCK IN ALL NEW AGE MOVEMENT FOLLOWERS WHO 

WILL BE GETTING THEIR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THEIR SPIRIT 

GUIDES AND/OR ASCENDED MASTERS.  THESE PEOPLE WILL BE KEPT 

IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT THESE SPIRIT ENTITIES ARE 

ACTUALLY DEMON FALLEN ANGELS.  THIS SYSTEM WILL PROSPER 

AND WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS WHO ARE INDWELT BY THE HOLY 

SPIRIT.  BUT GOD HIMSELF IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST 

WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN AND TOTALLY CRUSH THIS NEW WORLD 

ORDER OF ANTICHRIST.  JESUS CHRIST WILL THEN ESTABLISH AN 

EVERLASTING KINGDOM OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE.



Daniel 2:45  PG 1009

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the 

mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the 

iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the 

great God hath made known to the king what shall come to 

pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the 

interpretation thereof sure.

IF THE KING COULD BE CONVINCED OF THE CERTAINTY OF THE 

INTERPRETATION, HOW MUCH MORE CERTAIN SHOULD WE BE.  WE 

HAVE SEEN THE EXACT FULFILLMENT OVER THE SPAN OF HISTORY 

OF THE FIRST FOUR WORLD EMPIRES.  WE ARE SEEING THIS 

MIXTURE OF MEN AND DEMONS WORKING TO ESTABLISH A NEW WORLD 

ORDER OR EMPIRE IN OUR TIME.



Daniel 2:46-49  PG 1009 -1010

Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and 

worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an 

oblation and sweet odours unto him.

The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it 

is], that your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of 

kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest 

reveal this secret.

Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many 

great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of 

Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise 

[men] of Babylon.

Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, 

Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province 

of Babylon: but Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king.

DANIEL WAS MADE A GREAT MAN.  HE DID NOT FORGET HIS 

FRIENDS AND PRAYER PARTNERS.  KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR KNEW THE 

TRUTH OF DANIEL'S PROPHECIES.  HE FELL ON HIS FACE.  WE 

SHOULD BE ON OUR FACE IN REPENTANCE FOR OUR SINS AS WE SEE 

THIS FINAL NEW WORLD ORDER WHICH IMMEDIATELY PRECEDES THE 

RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST BEING FORMED.  CHRISTIANS MUST BE 

IN THE WORD DAILY IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING SUCKED INTO THE 

DEMONIC NEW WORLD ORDER AND NEW AGE MOVEMENT OF 

ANTICHRIST.  IF YOU ARE IGNORANT OF THE BIBLE YOU WILL 

LIKELY BE SUCKED INTO THIS SYSTEM OF TYRANNY, CONFUSION, 

AND ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION.









AUG 9   JEREMIAH 48, 49,  2 KINGS 24       PG 1010 -1018



II Kings 24:1-3   PG 1010

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and 

Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned 

and rebelled against him.

And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and 

bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands 

of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to 

destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he 

spake by his servants the prophets.

Surely at the commandment of the LORD came [this] upon 

Judah, to remove [them] out of his sight, for the sins of 

Manasseh, according to all that he did;

JEHOIAKIM MUST HAVE BEEN INSANE.  HE HAD ALREADY BEEN 

DEFEATED BY THE MOST POWERFUL NATION OF HIS DAY WHEN 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR MADE HIM SURRENDER AND TOOK CAPTIVES AND 

TREASURE TO BABYLON.  JEHOIAKIM WAS BEING ATTACKED BY 

EVERY SURROUNDING NATION.  HIS DECISION TO REBEL AGAINST 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS NOTHING SHORT OF MADNESS.  WE SEE THE 

EXPLANATION - SURELY AT THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD CAME 

THIS UPON JUDAH BECAUSE THE PEOPLE LED BY THEIR EVIL KINGS 

REBELLED AGAINST THE LORD.



Jeremiah 48:10   PG 1011

Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD 

deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth back his 

sword from blood.

IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU COME UNDER A CURSE FOR 

BEING LAX IN THE WORK OF THE LORD OR BEING DECEITFUL IN 

GOD'S WORK.  IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND CURSED BE HE THAT 

KEEPETH BACK HIS SWORD FROM BLOOD?  WHAT GOD IS TELLING US 

HERE IS HE WILL CURSE THE COWARD.  OVER AND OVER GOD TELLS 

US TO BE STRONG AND BE COURAGEOUS.  IF YOU ARE DOING GOD'S 

WORK DO NOT BE AFRAID OF ANYTHING BUT GOD.  BOLDLY STAND 

YOUR GROUND.  TAKE UP AND USE THE SWORD OF THE WORD OF 

GOD.  SATAN ROAMS AS A ROARING LION SEEKING WHOM HE MAY 

DEVOUR. THE ROARING LION IS THE OLD TOOTHLESS LION WITH 

THE LOUD VOICE AND NO REAL POWER OR STRENGTH.  RUN RIGHT 

AT THE ROARING LION.  THE ROARING LION CAN BE TRAMPLED IF 

YOU RUN RIGHT AT HIM.  RUNNING AWAY FROM THE ROARING LION 

WILL CAUSE YOU TO RUN RIGHT INTO THE AMBUSH OF THE YOUNG 

STRONG POWERFUL LIONS.  DO NOT BE COWARDLY IN SPIRITUAL 

WARFARE.



Jeremiah 49:12  PG 1015

For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment [was] 

not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and [art] 

thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt 

not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].

JEREMIAH GIVES GOD'S PRONOUNCEMENT OF JUDGMENT ON MOAB, 

AMMON, EDOM, AND DAMASCUS IN CHAPTERS 48 & 49.   GOD 

SWEARS BY HIMSELF.  NOTHING CAN BE MORE CERTAIN.  THE 

JUDGMENT DID HAPPEN JUST AS HE SAID.









AUG 10   2 KINGS 24  2 CHRON 36           PG 1018 -1020



II Kings 24:8-14  PG 1018 - 1019

Jehoiachin [was] eighteen years old when he began to 

reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his 

mother's name [was] Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of 

Jerusalem.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, 

according to all that his father had done.

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of 

Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was 

besieged.

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, 

and his servants did besiege it.

And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of 

Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his 

princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took 

him in the eighth year of his reign.

And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house 

of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and 

cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king 

of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD 

had said.

And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, 

and all the mighty men of valour, [even] ten thousand 

captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, 

save the poorest sort of the people of the land.



II Kings 24:17-19  PG 1019

And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's 

brother king in his stead, and changed his name to 

Zedekiah.

Zedekiah [was] twenty and one years old when he began to 

reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his 

mother's name [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of 

Libnah.

And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, 

according to all that Jehoiakim had done.



II Chronicles 36:14-16  PG 1019 -1020

Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, 

transgressed very much after all the abominations of the 

heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had 

hallowed in Jerusalem.

And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his 

messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had 

compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his 

words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the 

LORD arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy.



Jeremiah 37:2   PG 1020

But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the 

land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he 

spake by the prophet Jeremiah.



II Kings 24:20   PG 1020

For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in 

Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his 

presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of 

Babylon.



HOW COULD ONE FIND A MORE ACCURATE HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF 

THE FALL OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL.  WE SEE GOD SENDING HIS 

PROPHETS TO TRY TO GET HIS PEOPLE TO REPENT.  WE SEE A 

PEOPLE WHO MOCK GOD AND HIS PROPHETS AND HIS WORD.  WILL 

AMERICANS LEARN ANYTHING FROM THIS ACCOUNT.  AMERICANS 

MUST RETURN TO THE BIBLE.  WE MUST DILIGENTLY STUDY IT 

DAILY AND STAND UP AND BOLDLY PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL.  EACH 

OF US MUST MAKE A RIGHT RESPONSE TO THE CONVICTING WORK OF 

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND REPENT OF OUR SINS.  HOW FAR AWAY CAN 

THE JUDGMENT OF AMERICA BE?







AUG 11   JEREMIAH 24, 29, 27, 28      PG 1020 - 1024



Jeremiah 24:5-7  PG 1020

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good 

figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away 

captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into 

the land of the Chaldeans for [their] good.

For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will 

bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and 

not pull [them] down; and I will plant them, and not pluck 

[them] up.

And I will give them an heart to know me, that I [am] the 

LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their 

God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

EVEN THOUGH THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL HAD BEEN TAKEN 

CAPTIVE TO BABYLON THE LORD DID NOT FORGET THEM.  GOD 

NEVER WANTS TO DO ANYTHING BUT BLESS HIS PEOPLE BUT WHEN 

THEY TURN AGAINST HIM HE IS FORCED TO JUDGE THEM.  HE 

PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM IN BABYLON AND THEN TO BRING 

THEM BACK TO THEIR HOMELAND WHEN THEIR HEART WAS FINALLY 

SET TO FOLLOW THE LORD AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS GOD AND LORD 

OF ALL.



Jeremiah 29:7-14  PG 1021

And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you 

to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for 

it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let 

not your prophets and your diviners, that [be] in the 

midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams 

which ye cause to be dreamed.

For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not 

sent them, saith the LORD.

For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be 

accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my 

good word toward you, in causing you to return to this 

place.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the 

LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an 

expected end.

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto 

me, and I will hearken unto you.

And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search 

for me with all your heart.

And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will 

turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all 

the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven 

you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the 

place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THIS.  SOMETIMES IT SEEMS THAT THE 

LEADERSHIP OF OUR LAND IS SO GODLESS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT 

TO PRAY FOR THEM.  IT WOULD BE HARD TO IMAGINE A MORE 

GODLESS LOT THAN THE BABYLONIANS.  HERE WERE THE PEOPLE OF 

ISRAEL HAVING BEEN TAKEN CAPTIVE AND GOD INSTRUCTS THEM TO 

PRAY FOR THE PROSPERITY OF BABYLON.  NO MATTER HOW GODLESS 

OUR LEADERS APPEAR GOD, STILL TELLS US TO PRAY FOR OUR 

LEADERS.  THE OTHER IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS THAT WE 

NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL REGARDING WHO WE MIGHT LISTEN TO 

THAT IS BRINGING US THE WORD OF GOD.  JESUS SAID THAT IN 

THE LAST DAYS THERE WOULD BE MANY FALSE PROPHETS.  THE 

ONLY INSURANCE AGAINST BEING LED ASTRAY BY FALSE PROPHETS 

IS TO READ THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF.  READ IT OVER AND OVER.  

GET TO KNOW IT ALL FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION.  COMPARE 

EVERYTHING YOU HEAR WITH THE WORD OF GOD.  IN THESE TIMES, 

JUST AS IN JEREMIAH'S TIMES, YOU WILL BE MISLED IF YOU 

DON'T GET TO KNOW THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.  DON'T 

TRUST ME.  DON'T EVEN TRUST YOUR PASTOR.  TEST EVERYTHING 

YOU HEAR BY THE WORD OF GOD.  IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE, LET 

ALONE PROSPER, YOU MUST GET TO KNOW THE FULL WORD OF GOD 

FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION.



Jeremiah 28:10 & 15-16 PG 102

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the 

prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, 

Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou 

makest this people to trust in a lie.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee 

from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, 

because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.

HANANIAH WAS A FALSE PROPHET.  JEREMIAH PRONOUNCES THAT 

HANANIAH WILL DIE THIS YEAR.  THIS IS OLD TESTAMENT.  IS 

THERE ANY PLACE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST FOR SUCH DISASTROUS 

PROPHECIES AGAINST MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST?





AUG 12   JEREMIAH 23                  PG 1024 - 1026



Jeremiah 23:11-12  PG 1024

For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house 

have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery [ways] 

in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall 

therein: for I will bring evil upon them, [even] the year 

of their visitation, saith the LORD.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS 

TO PRECEDE THE LORD'S RETURN.  WE HAVE BEEN WARNED THAT IN 

THE LAST DAYS THAT THE CHURCHES WOULD HEAP TO THEMSELVES 

TEACHERS HAVING ITCHING EARS, AND THAT THERE WOULD BE MANY 

FALSE TEACHERS AND FALSE CHRISTS.  HOW MANY CHURCHES TODAY 

WILL YOU HEAR THE FULL GOSPEL?  YOU WILL HEAR OF LOVE, 

PEACE, POWER AND POSITIVE CONFESSION.  HOW OFTEN WILL YOU 

HEAR OF JUDGMENT, THE REALITY OF HELL, AND THE 

CONSEQUENCES OF SIN?  OCCULT AND METAPHYSICAL MIND SCIENCE 

TECHNIQUES ARE EVEN FINDING TEACHING PLATFORMS IN THE 

CHURCH.  THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE CALLED TO WAKE UP IN 

REPENTANCE AND GET BACK TO THE WORD AND TO THE FULL GOSPEL 

OF HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.  DO NOT SOW SEEDS OF 

REBELLION IN THE CHURCH.  ALL ARE BEING CALLED TO GET TO 

KNOW THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.  KNOW WHEN YOU HEAR 

SOMETHING THAT IS AGAINST GOD'S WORD.  GO TO YOUR PASTOR 

ONE ON ONE.  DO NOT BACKBITE.  PRAY FOR HIM.  IT IS GOD'S 

BUSINESS TO DISCIPLINE THE PASTOR.  DON'T EXPECT YOUR 

PASTOR TO FEED YOU.  THAT IS FOR BABIES.  FEED YOURSELF.  

READ THE BIBLE FOR YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL FOOD EVERY DAY.  IF 

NECESSARY GET OUT OF AN APOSTATE CHURCH.



Jeremiah 23:14   PG 1024 - 1025

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible 

thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they 

strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth 

return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me 

as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF AN APOSTATE CHURCH.  THE LEADERS 

COMMIT ADULTERY.  THEY WALK IN LIES.  THEY SURROUND 

THEMSELVES WITH AND STRENGTHEN THE HANDS OF EVILDOERS.  

THEY DO NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO TURN AWAY FROM THEIR SINS. 

THEY MAKE EXCUSES FOR THE SINS OF THE EVILDOERS WITH WHOM 

THEY SURROUND THEMSELVES.  IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOUR CHURCH 

THEN PERHAPS YOU NEED TO BE IN A DIFFERENT CHURCH.



Jeremiah 23:16 PG 1025

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words 

of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you 

vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not 

out of the mouth of the LORD.

THE NEED TODAY IS NOT TO HEAR PROPHESY.  THE JOB OF THE 

PROPHET IS TO FORTH TELL MUCH MORE THAN TO FORETELL.  THE 

PROPHET IS FIRST OF ALL A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.  YOU 

DO NOT NEED TO HEAR OF FUTURE EVENTS.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO 

HEAR OF DREAMS.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO HEAR OF VISIONS.  YOU 

NEED TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD.  YOU NEED TO HEAR SCRIPTURE.  

EVERYTHING THAT IS REALLY WORTHWHILE IS THERE AND YOU 

DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ITS CORRECTNESS OR ACCURACY.



Jeremiah 23:22-26  PG 1025 - 1026

But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my 

people to hear my words, then they should have turned them 

from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

[Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar 

off?

Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see 

him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith 

the LORD.

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in 

my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets that 

prophesy lies? yea, [they are] prophets of the deceit of 

their own heart;

ARE YOU SEEKING AFTER DREAMS AND VISIONS?  THAT IS NOT THE 

WAY.  IN TODAY'S WORLD OF CULTS, OCCULT, AND APOSTACY THE 

ONLY RELIABLE SOURCE IS THE BIBLE ITSELF.  IF THE 

PREACHERS THEMSELVES WERE RIGHTEOUS AND FAITHFUL THEY 

WOULD ACCURATELY BRING FORTH THE WORD OF GOD.  TODAY YOU 

ARE MORE LIKELY TO HEAR A SOCIALIST GOSPEL OR A GOSPEL OF 

A NEW WORLD ORDER.  GO TO THE BIBLE.  IT IS YOUR ONLY 

SOURCE OF ABSOLUTE TRUTH IN A WORLD OF CONFUSION.  NO ONE 

CAN HIDE ANYTHING FROM GOD.  GOD IS SO NEAR TO YOU AND 

EVEN IN YOU IF YOU HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN BY THE HOLY 

SPIRIT.  THE WORLD IS FULL OF LIES.  LIES MAY EVEN BE 

BROUGHT FORTH FROM THE PULPIT.  YOUR SECURITY FROM THE 

DECEPTION OF THE LAST DAYS IS ONLY TO BE FOUND IN THE WORD 

OF GOD.  IN HOSEA 4:6 WE LEARNED THAT GOD'S PEOPLE ARE 

ONLY DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WORD.



Jeremiah 23:28-29    PG 1026

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and 

he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. 

What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.

[Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like 

a hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces?

GET A HANDLE ON THIS.  GOD TELLS US SO CLEARLY HOW TO 

SEPARATE THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF REGARDING TRUTH AND 

LIES.  GOD SAYS "IS NOT MY WORD LIKE AS A FIRE?"  THE FIRE 

WILL SEPARATE THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF INSTANTLY.  IF YOU 

KNOW THE WORD OF GOD YOU WILL SEPARATE LIES AND TRUTH 

INSTANTLY.  THERE IS NO OTHER CERTAIN WAY.  IT IS SAFE TO 

LISTEN TO THE PROPHET AND THE PREACHER IF YOU HAVE THE 

FIRE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD.  IF YOU DO NOT 

KNOW THE WORD OF GOD IT IS DANGEROUS TO LISTEN TO THE 

PROPHET AND DREAMER.







AUG 13   JEREMIAH 50                  PG 1026 - 1030



Jeremiah 50:20   PG 1028

In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the 

iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and [there shall 

be] none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be 

found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

THE JEWS HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED ALIENS WHEREVER THEY HAVE 

BEEN DISPERSED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.  GOD SAYS THAT 

THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN ISRAEL'S SINS WILL BE COVERED.  

GOD WILL FULLY PARDON ISRAEL.  ISRAEL WILL SET WORLD 

STANDARDS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  THERE IS GOOD REASON TO 

BELIEVE WE ARE SEEING THE FULFILLMENT OF THIS PROPHESY.



Jeremiah 50:31 Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most 

proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, 

the time [that] I will visit thee.

GOD IS ALWAYS AGAINST THE PROUD.  BABYLON IS GIVEN THE 

DUBIOUS TITLE OF "MOST PROUD."   WE MUST RID OURSELF OF 

THE NOTION THAT PRIDE IS A VIRTUE.  PRIDE IS A BESETTING 

SIN WHICH WILL GET YOU IN ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE.  WE ALL 

MUST WIN THE BATTLE WITH PRIDE.  IT IS ONLY BY COMING TO 

THE CROSS AND CONFESSING THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN US WORTH 

SAVING AND GETTING RID OF ALL OF OUR STINKING 

SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT WE CAN EVER HOPE TO WIN THE BATTLE 

WITH PRIDE.  THE WHOLE CREATION IS SUBJECT TO VANITY.  

WITH THIS VANITY AND SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS WE MAKE THE FREE 

WILL CHOICE TO HUMBLE OURSELF BEFORE GOD AND BEG HIS 

MERCIFUL FORGIVENESS OR ELSE FACE THE WRATH OF HIS 

JUDGMENT.  IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STAND BEFORE GOD IN 

SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.  WE WILL FACE JUDGMENT AS SURELY AS 

MOST PROUD BABYLON IF WE WILL NOT HUMBLE OURSELF BEFORE 

GOD THROUGH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.



Jeremiah 50:34   PG 1030

Their Redeemer [is] strong; the LORD of hosts [is] his 

name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may 

give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of 

Babylon.

THE LORD OF HOSTS, JESUS CHRIST, IS THE ONLY STRONG 

REDEEMER.  IF YOU ARE TRUSTING ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE TO 

REDEEM YOU, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.  IT IS ONLY WHEN 

JESUS CHRIST, YOUR STRONG REDEEMER AND ADVOCATE PLEADS 

YOUR CASE THAT YOU WILL FIND MERCY IN GOD'S JUDGMENT.







AUG 14   JEREMIAH 51 & 34             PG 1030 - 1038



Jeremiah 51:5   PG 1031

For Israel [hath] not [been] forsaken, nor Judah of his 

God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled 

with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

ISRAEL HAS NOT BEEN FORSAKEN EVEN THOUGH THE JEWS HAVE 

BEEN THE TARGET OF PERSECUTION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.  

THE CHRISTIAN MUST BE TENDERHEARTED TOWARD THE JEW.  GOD 

WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS THE JEWS AND CURSE THOSE WHO 

CURSE THE JEWS.  THIS WORD AND PROMISE OF GOD TO ABRAHAM 

STANDS FOREVER.



Jeremiah 51:6   PG 1031

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man 

his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this [is] 

the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her 

a recompence.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT BABYLON IN SCRIPTURE CAN 

OFTEN MEAN TYRANNY AND CONFUSION AS WELL AS THE CAPITAL OF 

CHALDEA.  IN THE LAST DAYS IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO 

FLEE OUT OF THE MIDST OF THE TYRANNY AND CONFUSION OF THE 

ANTICHRIST SYSTEM.



Jeremiah 51:7   PG 1032

Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that 

made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of 

her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

THIS HAS AN END TIMES FULFILLMENT AS WELL AS THE 

FULFILLMENT IN JEREMIAH'S TIME.  BABYLON WAS THE FIRST 

WORLD EMPIRE WHICH CAME BEFORE MEDO-PERSIA, GREECE, ROME 

AND THE END TIME GLOBAL NEW WORLD ORDER OF ANTICHRIST.  IN 

FACT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PHRASE "MADE ALL THE EARTH 

DRUNKEN" THE MORE ACCURATE REFERENCE IS THE TYRANNY AND 

CONFUSION OF THE ANTICHRIST WORLD GOVERNMENT AND RELIGIOUS 

SYSTEM.  IT IS MADNESS TO THINK THAT WORLD GOVERNMENT WILL 

BRING ANYTHING BUT TYRANNY AND CONFUSION UNLESS IT IS 

UNDER THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST.



Jeremiah 51:8   PG 1032

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; 

take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

MYSTERY BABYLON WITH WHICH ALL THE MERCHANTS OF THE WORLD 

WERE MADE RICH WITH THE TRAFFICKING OF HER HARLOTRIES WILL 

BE DESTROYED VERY SUDDENLY, IN ONE HOUR.  THIS DESTRUCTION 

IS STRATEGIC NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION.  Revelation 17:4-6 And 

the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and 

decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a 

golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness 

of her fornication: And upon her forehead [was] a name 

written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS 

AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.  And I saw the woman 

drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood 

of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered 

with great admiration.

Revelation 18:2-4 And he cried mightily with a strong 

voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and 

is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every 

foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her 

fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed 

fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are 

waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of 

her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and 

that ye receive not of her plagues.

Revelation 18:8-11 Therefore shall her plagues come in one 

day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be 

utterly burned with fire: for strong [is] the Lord God who 

judgeth her.  And the kings of the earth, who have 

committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, 

shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see 

the smoke of her burning,  Standing afar off for the fear 

of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city 

Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment 

come.  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn 

over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

MYSTERY BABYLON DRESSED IN SCARLET, PEARLS, AND PURPLE IS 

QUITE LIKELY AMERICA.  MOST WOULD NOT LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE 

THE POSSIBILITY OF A PREEMPTIVE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK 

OF THE UNITED STATES BY RUSSIA.  LOGIC FORCES THIS 

CONCLUSION AS THE LEADERS OF THE CRUMBLING SOVIET EMPIRE 

BECOME MORE DESPERATE.  IF IT HAPPENS, OR WHEN IT HAPPENS, 

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY?  DO YOU ALSO 

REALIZE THAT FOR THE CHRISTIAN THE BOTTOM LINE EFFECT OF 

SUCH AN ALL OUT STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK WOULD BE 

IDENTICAL TO THE RAPTURE.  INSTANTLY VAPORIZED AND 

INSTANTLY WITH THE LORD.  IT IS ONLY THE TOTALLY COMMITTED 

CHRISTIAN WHO CAN LOOK AT THE COLD FACTS OF LOGIC SQUARE 

ON WITHOUT FEAR.  IF IT CAUSES YOU TO FEAR - GET IT 

STRAIGHTENED OUT WITH THE LORD.  IF YOU CANNOT FACE THE 

TRUTH WITHOUT FEAR, EXAMINE AND ASSESS YOUR PRIORITIES.



Jeremiah 51:9   PG 1032

We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: 

forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: 

for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up 

[even] to the skies.

THE ABUNDANCE OF HER DELICACIES CAUSES AMERICA TO BE THE 

NUMBER ONE DESIRED DESTINATION OF THE WORLD'S ALIENS AND 

REFUGEES.  THE GOD OF AMERICA HAS BECOME HER GOVERNMENT. 

CAN AMERICA BE HEALED OF HER GOVERNMENT WORSHIP?  THE 

JUDGMENT OF AMERICA WILL BE WITH NUCLEAR MUSHROOM SHAPED 

PILLARS OF FIRE AND SMOKE REACHING TO THE HEAVENS.  DO NOT 

BE FRIGHTENED - REPENT.  GET RIGHT WITH GOD WHILE THERE IS 

TIME.





Jeremiah 51:10   PG 1032

The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and 

let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

IF THE LORD DOES NOT GIVE YOU RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU HAVE NO 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  HOW COME THE GOSPEL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BEING 

GIVEN AS A FREE GIFT OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST 

IS NOT MORE BOLDLY PROCLAIMED IN ISRAEL?  WHAT CAN WE DO 

TO AID THE CAUSE OF SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS IN ISRAEL?



Jeremiah 51:20   PG 1033

Thou [art] my battle axe [and] weapons of war: for with 

thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee 

will I destroy kingdoms;

WE ARE WITNESSING THIS BEING FULFILLED TODAY.  ISRAEL IS 

THE ONLY UNDEFEATABLE ARMY IN THE WORLD.  ISRAEL IS THE 

LORD'S BATTLE AXE.  THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH WILL 

SOON COME AND BREAK THE NATIONS IN PIECES AND DESTROY THE 

KINGDOMS OF EARTH.



Jeremiah 51:50   PG 1035

Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: 

remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into 

your mind.

SO FAR WE HAVE ESCAPED THE SWORD.  SHOULD WE GO AWAY?  

WHERE WOULD YOU GO?  THE PLACE YOU MUST GO IS THE CROSS OF 

CALVARY.  IF YOU ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB 

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RAPTURE AND 

A NUCLEAR STRIKE.  WHAT ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES?  PERHAPS 

THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO.  KEEP WHAT IS GOING ON IN 

JERUSALEM CONSTANTLY IN MIND.  THE CENTER OF GOD'S 

PROPHETIC CLOCK IS JERUSALEM.









AUG 15   EZEKIEL  1 - 7               PG 1038 - 1045



Ezekiel 1:1   PG 1039

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth 

[month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was] among 

the captives by the river of Chebar, [that] the heavens 

were opened, and I saw visions of God.

EZEKIEL SAW VISIONS OF GOD.  THE GLORY OF GOD DEFIES HUMAN 

DESCRIPTION.  EZEKIEL GIVES IT HIS BEST EFFORT.  AS YOU 

READ THE DESCRIPTION OF GOD'S GLORY YOU WILL CONCLUDE THAT 

IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE.  SOME HAVE THOUGHT THE FIRST 

CHAPTER OF EZEKIEL DESCRIBES A SPACE SHIP LANDING.  HAVE 

EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS VISITED EARTH?  WHO ARE THESE 

ALIENS?  THEY ARE DEMONS, FALLEN ANGELS.  YOU MAY KNOW 

THIS BY THE CONSISTENCY OF THEIR MESSAGE.  WHAT IS THEIR 

MESSAGE AND PURPOSE?  THEIR MESSAGE ALWAYS IS SOME FORM OF 

THE LIE THAT "YE SHALL BE AS GODS."  THEIR PURPOSE IS TO 

DECEIVE MANKIND AND LEAD THEM AWAY FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF 

THE TRUE GOD.  IN THE END TIMES GOD WILL SEND A STRONG 

DELUSION TO LEAD AWAY THE VERY ELECT IF IT WERE POSSIBLE.  

YOU WILL NEVER HEAR OF A EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIEN VISITOR 

GIVING GLORY TO THE TRUE GOD.  THERE IS A STRONG 

POSSIBILITY THESE DECEPTIVE BEINGS MAY PLAY A ROLE IN 

TELLING THE PEOPLE OF EARTH TO FORM A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT TO 

END THE THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR.  YOU MUST HAVE IT FIRMLY 

SETTLED IN YOUR MIND THAT ANY WORLD OR GLOBAL GOVERNMENT 

BEFORE THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST WILL BE HEADED BY THE 

ANTICHRIST.  YOU CAN TAKE AUTHORITY OVER THESE 

EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS.  HOWEVER, 

YOU MUST BE IN A RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.



Ezekiel 2:2-7  PG 1040

And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and 

set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.

And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the 

children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath 

rebelled against me: they and their fathers have 

transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day.

For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do 

send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus 

saith the Lord GOD.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will 

forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall 

know that there hath been a prophet among them.

And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be 

afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with 

thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid 

of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though 

they [be] a rebellious house.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will 

hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most 

rebellious.

IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR EZEKIEL TO DESCRIBE WHAT HE HAD SEEN 

OF GOD'S GLORY.  HE DID THE BEST HE COULD, BUT GOD'S GLORY 

IS OVERWHELMING.  HE FAINTED AT THE VISION OF GOD.  

EZEKIEL OF COURSE HAD NO DIFFICULTY IN HEARING OR 

REMEMBERING OR RECORDING GOD'S WORDS BECAUSE AS GOD SPOKE 

TO HIM THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME INTO HIM.  GOD COMMISSIONED 

HIM TO DELIVER HIS WORD TO THE REBELLIOUS CHILDREN OF 

ISRAEL.  EVERY FATHER HAS SUCH A COMMISSION.  EVEN IF OUR 

CHILDREN ARE REBELLIOUS.  THAT DOES NOT RELIEVE US OF THE 

RESPONSIBILITY THAT EVERY FATHER HAS BEEN GIVEN BY GOD.  

JUST AS EZEKIEL WAS COMMISSIONED, EVERY FATHER IS 

COMMISSIONED TO GIVE HIS BEST EFFORT TO DELIVER THE WORD 

OF GOD TO HIS CHILDREN.  THESE BOOKS ARE MY BEST EFFORT TO 

FULFILL THIS GOD GIVEN COMMISSION.  MY CHILDREN MAY NEVER 

READ THEM.  IF THESE HUMBLE EFFORTS COULD HELP ANY FATHER 

TO FULFILL HIS COMMISSION TO DELIVER THE WORD OF GOD TO 

HIS CHILDREN, THEN I WILL SEE BEAUTY FOR ASHES.  EVERY 

FATHER IS A GOD COMMISSIONED PROPHET TO HIS CHILDREN.  THE 

PRIMARY JOB OF THE PROPHET HAS LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO 

WITH PREDICTING FUTURE EVENTS.  THE PRIMARY JOB OF THE 

PROPHET IS TO PREACH RIGHTEOUSNESS.  WHETHER THE CHILDREN 

WANT TO HEAR IT OR NOT, THE FATHER IS OBLIGATED BY GOD TO 

PREACH IT.  THE FATHER OUGHT TO LIVE WHAT HE PREACHES AS 

WELL.  I MUST CONFESS TO ALL, MY FAILURE TO LIVE OUT WHAT 

I WOULD PREACH TO MY CHILDREN.  GOD CAN AND WILL FORGIVE 

THIS FAILURE EVEN IF MY CHILDREN CAN NOT OR WILL NOT.



Ezekiel 3:2-3  PG 1040

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, 

and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then 

did I eat [it]; and it was in my mouth as honey for 

sweetness.

HERE IS A MOST GRAPHIC EXAMPLE THAT OUR SPIRITUAL FOOD IS 

THE WORD OF GOD.  JESUS IS THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.  THAT 

WAS THE MEANING JESUS INTENDED WHEN HE SAID John 6:47-51 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me 

hath everlasting life.  I am that bread of life.  Your 

fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.  

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a 

man may eat thereof, and not die.  I am the living bread 

which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, 

he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is 

my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.  WE 

ARE SPIRIT BEINGS CONTAINED IN A PHYSICAL BODY.  WE ARE 

SPIRITUALLY DEAD UNTIL WE ARE BORN AGAIN BY THE SPIRIT OF 

GOD BY RECEIVING JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.  WE ARE 

BORN AGAIN AS SPIRITUAL BABIES.  WE WILL STAY BABIES AND 

EVEN DIE AS SPIRITUAL BABIES IF WE DO NOT EAT SPIRITUAL 

FOOD.  THE SPIRITUAL FOOD WE MUST EAT TO SUSTAIN OUR 

SPIRITUAL LIFE AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS THE WORD OF GOD.



Ezekiel 3:7-9  1040 - 1041

But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for 

they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel 

[are] impudent and hardhearted.

Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, 

and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: 

fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though 

they [be] a rebellious house.

JUST AS GOD STRENGTHENED AND GAVE COURAGE TO EZEKIEL, WE 

TOO SHOULD BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS REGARDING THE TRUTH OF 

THE WORD OF GOD.  WE NEED TO BE FEARLESS, BOLD AND 

UNWAVERING REGARDING THE TRUTH.  IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO 

GIVES THIS UNWAVERING COURAGE.  YOU CAN AFFORD TO BE 

NARROW MINDED WHEN YOU ARE RIGHT.  WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR 

STAND ON THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD YOU ARE 

RIGHT.  BE STRONG, COURAGEOUS, BOLD, AND NARROW MINDED.

BEING WRONG AND BROADMINDED OR PLURALISTIC IS FOOLISH.  BE 

RIGHT, KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT, AND TAKE YOU STAND WITH GOD.



Ezekiel 3:17-21  PG 1041

Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of 

Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them 

warning from me.

When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and 

thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the 

wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same 

wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will 

I require at thine hand.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his 

wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his 

iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his 

righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a 

stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast 

not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his 

righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; 

but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that the 

righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely 

live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy 

soul.

DO YOU REALIZE THAT EVERY FATHER IS A GOD ORDAINED 

WATCHMAN TO HIS CHILDREN.  MOST FATHERS ARE KEENLY AWARE 

OF THEIR GOD GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR 

FAMILIES.  MOST OF THE PROBLEMS IN AMERICA TODAY MAY BE 

TRACED TO THE FACT THAT FATHERS HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE 

THAT GOD HAS CALLED THEM TO BE PROPHET AND WATCHMEN TO 

THEIR CHILDREN.  THE SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP AND TRAINING OF 

THE CHILDREN IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FATHER.  THE 

FATHER IS PASTOR AND SHEPHERD OF HIS FAMILY.  PASTORAL 

RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY DOES NOT END AT THE 

CHURCH.  THE FAMILY IS ALSO THE CHURCH.  MANY WOMEN ARE 

FORCED TO TRY TO TAKE UP THE SLACK FROM THE FATHER WHO 

DOES NOT REALIZE OR ACCEPT HIS RESPONSIBILITY AS SPIRITUAL 

WATCHMAN FOR THE CHILDREN.  HOWEVER, WOE TO THE WOMAN WHO 

USURPS THAT RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE FATHER.









AUG 16   EZEKIEL  8 - 11               PG 1045 - 1049



Ezekiel 8:3-4  PG 1045 - 1046

And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a 

lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the 

earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God 

to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh 

toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of 

jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there, 

according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

THE LORD SHOWED EZEKIEL THAT HIS GLORY WAS STILL IN THE 

TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.  WHAT PATIENCE GOD HAS.  HIS GLORY 

WAS STILL IN THE TEMPLE AFTER ALMOST 400 YEARS OF ISRAEL'S 

BACKSLIDING AND IDOLATRY.  THE POINT, HOWEVER, IS THAT GOD 

WAS GOING TO SHOW EZEKIEL THAT THE GLORY OF GOD WOULD BE 

TAKEN UP FROM THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM NEVER TO RETURN 

UNTIL THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST.



Ezekiel 8:11-12  PG 1045 - 1046

And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of 

the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood 

Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in 

his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the 

ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man 

in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD 

seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.

GOD SHOWED EZEKIEL HOW THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL WERE 

WORSHIPING THEIR IDOLS.  THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING THIS 

IN SECRET.  THE POINT IS THAT NONE OF US CAN HIDE ANY SIN 

FROM GOD.  WHY NOT GO AHEAD AND CONFESS THAT SECRET SIN 

AND GET GOD'S HELP IN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM.  THERE IS 

NO SUCH THING AS A SECRET SIN.  WE CAN FOOL ALL OF THE 

PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO HIDE ANYTHING 

FROM GOD.  ONCE WE CONFESS THE SIN, NO ONLY IS IT FORGIVEN 

BUT IT IS ALSO FORGOTTEN BY GOD.



Ezekiel 8:17-18  PG 1046

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? 

Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit 

the abominations which they commit here? for they have 

filled the land with violence, and have returned to 

provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their 

nose.

Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not 

spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in 

mine ears with a loud voice, [yet] will I not hear them.

WHENEVER THE MORAL STANDARDS OF GOD ARE FORSAKEN IT IS 

INEVITABLE THAT THE LAND WILL BE FILLED WITH VIOLENCE.  WE 

ARE SEEING THIS COMING TO PASS IN AMERICA TODAY.  THE 

MORAL ABSOLUTES OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED 

FROM ALL THE PUBLIC CLASSROOMS OF AMERICA.  IT IS AGAINST 

THE LAW TO PRAY.  VIOLENCE FILLING THE LAND WILL BE THE 

RESULT.  THE POLITICALLY CORRECT SOCIALIST ENGINEERS WHO 

REJECT GOD WILL BRING IN TYRANNY, CONFUSION, AND VIOLENCE.

HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE GOD DEALS WITH FURY ON AMERICA?  

CHRISTIAN IT IS UP TO YOU AND ME.  WE MAKE ALL THE 

DIFFERENCE IF WE WILL HUMBLE OURSELF, PRAY, STUDY GOD'S 

WORD, (THAT IS HOW YOU SEEK HIS FACE), GOD WILL HEAR AND 

HEAL OUR LAND.  IF WE CONTINUE REJECTING GOD WE WILL FACE 

THE FURY OF HIS JUDGMENT.



Ezekiel 9:4   PG 1046

And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the 

city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon 

the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all 

the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

ARE YOU GROANING AND SIGHING OVER THE 1,500,000 BABIES PER 

YEAR BEING KILLED BY ABORTIONS IN AMERICA?  DOES IT MAKE 

YOU FEEL LIKE CRYING THAT THE CHILDREN OF AMERICA ARE 

SYSTEMATICALLY BEING INDOCTRINATED TO BE ATHEISTS, 

SOCIALISTS, AND TO MOCK THE FAITH OF OUR FATHERS?  EVEN IN 

JUDGMENT GOD WOULD CARE FOR HIS PEOPLE.  CHRISTIAN YOU ARE 

CALLED TO BE AN OVERCOMER IN TRIBULATION.  THE RAPTURE 

RIDE IS SCHEDULED TO OCCUR AT THE END OF THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION.  I MUST GIVE YOU THE WORST CASE SCENARIO.  

PREPARE FOR THE WORST, AND PRAISE GOD IF YOU FIND THAT I 

AM WRONG.  BUT DON'T BE UNPREPARED FOR THE TRIBULATION.  

KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN YOUR 

RIGHT HAND OR FOREHEAD.  YOU MUST NOT TAKE THAT SCANNER 

MARK SYMBOL NO MATTER WHAT.  GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU 

SUPERNATURALLY.  YOU MUST HAVE FAITH TO SURVIVE.  HOW DO 

YOU GET FAITH?  IT COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE 

WORD OF GOD.  WE MUST READ OUR BIBLES DAILY.



Ezekiel 9:7-9   PG 1047

And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the 

courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, 

and slew in the city.

And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I 

was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, 

Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel 

in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel 

and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of 

blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, 

The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

HOW MUCH GREATER ARE THE NATIONAL SINS OF AMERICA?  WAS 

ANCIENT ISRAEL KILLING 1,500,000 BABIES PER YEAR?  WERE 

THE HOMOSEXUALS OPENLY DEMONSTRATING FOR SPECIAL 

PRIVILEGES AND OPENLY RECRUITING YOUNG PEOPLE INTO THEIR 

PERVERSION?  "AH LORD GOD!"  WILL YOU DESTROY THE 

RIGHTEOUS IN AMERICA WITH THE WICKED AS YOU POUR OUT THE 

FURY OF YOUR JUDGMENT ON AMERICA?   CHRISTIANS IT IS HIGH 

TIME THAT WE GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL WAR THAT IS 

RAGING ABOUT US IN THIS LAND.  WE NEED TO PUT ON THE FULL 

ARMOUR AND STAND.



Ezekiel 10:18-19  PG 1048

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold 

of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up 

from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels 

also [were] beside them, and [every one] stood at the door 

of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the 

God of Israel [was] over them above.

THE GLORY OF THE LORD DEPARTED FROM THE TEMPLE IN ISRAEL 

AND IT WILL NOT RETURN AGAIN UNTIL THE RETURN OF JESUS 

CHRIST AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION WHEN HE WILL RETURN 

FOR HIS SAINTS AND TO PUT DOWN THE ARMIES OF THE 

ANTICHRIST WHO WILL HAVE BEEN WAGING WAR ON HIS SAINTS 

DURING THE TRIBULATION.  THERE ARE MANY GOOD REASONS TO 

BELIEVE THAT WE WILL BE THE GENERATION TO SEE THE RETURN 

OF THE LORD IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY.



Ezekiel 11:5  PG 1048

And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, 

Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of 

Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, 

[every one of] them.

GOD KNOWS OUR EVERY THOUGHT.  THIS IS VERY COMFORTING.  WE 

CAN ALWAYS PRAY IN OUR HEARTS TO GOD AND KNOW THAT HE 

HEARS US WHEN NO ONE ELSE CAN POSSIBLY HEAR WHAT WE ARE 

PRAYING.  IN TIME TO COME THIS MAY INDEED BE VERY 

COMFORTING.



Ezekiel 11:19-21  PG 1049

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new 

spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of 

their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine 

ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and 

I will be their God.

But [as for them] whose heart walketh after the heart of 

their detestable things and their abominations, I will 

recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord 

GOD.

JEREMIAH LETS US KNOW THAT ALL HUMAN HEARTS ARE 

DESPERATELY WICKED.  THIS NEEDS TO BE OUR PRAYER - THAT 

GOD WOULD SOFTEN OUR HARD HEARTS AND FILL US WITH HIS HOLY 

SPIRIT.  THAT HE WOULD MAKE OUR WILL CONFORM TO HIS WILL.  

THIS ENABLES US TO CONSISTENTLY WALK IN GOD'S STATUTES.











AUG 17   EZEKIEL 12 - 14               PG 1049 - 1053



Ezekiel 12:21-25   PG 1050

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the 

land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every 

vision faileth?

Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make 

this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a 

proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at 

hand, and the effect of every vision.

For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering 

divination within the house of Israel.

For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I 

shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more 

prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I 

say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

GOD HAS SUCH AMAZING PATIENCE.  HE SENT HIS PROPHETS TO 

WARN THE PEOPLE TO REPENT.  WHILE THEY TESTED HIS PATIENCE 

AS GOD WAITED AND THEY FAILED TO REPENT, THEY THEN 

INSULTED GOD AND HIS PROPHETS BY MAKING IT A PROVERB THAT 

WHAT THE PROPHETS WARNED WOULD NOT COME TO PASS.



Ezekiel 13:1-3  PG 1051

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that 

prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of 

their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, 

that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

IT IS VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS TO SPEAK IN THE NAME OF THE 

LORD.  IN EZEKIEL'S TIME THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SCRIPTURES 

READILY AVAILABLE AS WE DO TODAY.  WE DO NOT NEED THE 

VISIONS OR DREAMS.  WE NEED TO GO TO OUR BIBLES AND ASK 

GOD BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO SPEAK TO US DIRECTLY FROM HIS 

WORD.  WE NEED TO EACH DEAL WITH THE DESPERATELY WICKED 

CONDITION OF OUR HEARTS.  WE NEED TO PAY NO ATTENTION TO 

THE SINS OF OTHERS AND DEVOTE ALL OF OUR ATTENTION TO THE 

PURSUIT OF HOLINESS IN OUR OWN LIFE.  GOD SAYS - WOE TO 

THE FOOLISH PROPHETS WHO FOLLOW THEIR OWN SPIRIT.  WHEN 

SOMEONE COMES TO YOU WITH SPIRITUAL REVELATION, DREAMS, 

VISIONS, PROPHECIES, KNOW HOW TO CHECK THE WORD OF GOD IN 

YOUR BIBLE TO DETERMINE THE ACCURACY OF WHAT THEY ARE 

BRINGING YOU.  KNOW HOW TO TEST THE SPIRITS AND SEE IF 

THEY ARE OF GOD.  YOUR ONLY SOURCE OF ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS 

YOUR BIBLE.  WITH ALL OF THE WARNINGS THAT JESUS CHRIST 

GAVE US REGARDING THE CONDITIONS OF THE LAST DAYS, IT CAN 

NOT POSSIBLY BE OVERSTRESSED HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET TO 

KNOW GOD'S WORD FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION FOR YOURSELF 

AND STUDY IT EVERY DAY.  IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN 

RECORD - PRAISE THE LORD.



Ezekiel 13:6-8  PG 1051

They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The 

LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have 

made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.

Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a 

lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; 

albeit I have not spoken?

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken 

vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against 

you, saith the Lord GOD.

BECAUSE YOU HAVE SPOKEN VANITY AND SEEN LIES THEREFORE GOD 

SAYS THAT HE IS AGAINST THE FALSE PREACHER THE FALSE 

PROPHET.  IT IS SUCH VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS TO INSTRUCT OR 

LEAD THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  IS YOUR PREACHER PERFORMING FOR 

HIS AUDIENCE OR IS HE ACTING IN OBEDIENCE AND UNDER THE 

LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?  THIS IS SUCH A SERIOUS 

QUESTION.  I HAVE LISTENED TO A PASTOR WHO WAS PERFORMING.  

WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT?  FIRST, PRAY FOR HIM.  HE 

PROBABLY HAS NO IDEA OF HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO TREAT THE 

MINISTRY OF GOD'S WORD AS SOME SORT OF PERFORMANCE.  

SECOND, REALIZE THAT THE PREACHER'S PERFORMANCE IS NOT 

YOUR PROBLEM BUT GOD'S PROBLEM.  THIS IS WHY IT IS SO 

IMPORTANT TO PRAY FOR THE PREACHER WHO SUFFERS FROM PRIDE 

AND VANITY.  THIRDLY, KNOW THE WORD WELL ENOUGH THAT THE 

PERFORMING PREACHER WILL KNOW YOU ARE PREPARED TO BOLDLY 

SHOUT HIM DOWN IF TRUTH IS NOT DELIVERED.  FORTH, GO TO 

HIM ONE ON ONE AND ENCOURAGE HIM TO YIELD TO THE 

CONVICTING WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  FIFTH, DO NOT EVER 

FALL TO THE TEMPTATION TO POOR MOUTH HIS PERFORMANCE TO 

ANYONE BUT THE PERFORMER HIMSELF.  REBELLION IS AS THE SIN 

OF WITCHCRAFT.  PRAY HIM OUT OF HIS MESS, AND NEVER, 

NEVER, FALL TO THE TEMPTATION TO GOSSIP OR BACKBITE EVEN 

UNDER THE GUISE OF FINDING PRAYER PARTNERS ON THE PROBLEM.



Ezekiel 13:10   PG 1051

Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, 

Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, 

and, lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:

AH SOVEREIGN LORD!  HOW WE HEAR THIS TODAY.  WE ARE TOLD 

THERE IS PEACE.  WE ARE TOLD THE THREAT OF THE EVIL SOVIET 

EMPIRE IS ENDED.  HAS A SINGLE NUCLEAR WEAPON TARGETED AT 

THE UNITED STATES BEEN REMOVED?  NO!  THE LEADERS OF THIS 

EVIL EMPIRE ARE SIMPLY MORE DESPERATE AND MORE LIKELY TO 

LAUNCH A SURPRISE ATTACK.  TALK ABOUT WHITE WASH JOBS TO 

COVER UP DIRT AND LACK OF SUBSTANCE AND TRUTH - JUST THINK 

ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SODOM ON THE POTOMAC, AS OLIVER 

NORTH REFERS TO WASHINGTON D.C..



Ezekiel 13:22  PG 1051 - 1052

Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous 

sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands 

of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked 

way, by promising him life:

DO THE LIES OF PREACHERS WHO ADVOCATE TOLERANCE FOR 

HOMOSEXUALS AND ABORTIONS MAKE YOU SAD?  DOES YOUR 

PREACHER EXCUSE YOUR SINS OR TELL OF THE REALITY OF HELL?



Ezekiel 14:3-8  PG 1052

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their 

heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before 

their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith 

the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that 

setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the 

stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh 

to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh 

according to the multitude of his idols;

That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, 

because they are all estranged from me through their 

idols.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the 

Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; 

and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger 

that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from 

me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the 

stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh 

to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD 

will answer him by myself:

And I will set my face against that man, and will make him 

a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the 

midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the 

LORD.

WHAT IS MY IDOL?  WHAT IS THE SIN WHICH IS BREAKING THE 

PERFECT FELLOWSHIP WITH CHRIST?  THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ON 

THIS SIDE OF GLORY SOMETHING FROM WHICH TO REPENT.  IT IS 

A DAILY THING.  THERE IS NO WAY TO ARRIVE THIS SIDE OF 

GLORY.  THE WORK WHICH CHRIST HAS BEGUN IN ME HE WILL 

SURELY FINISH - THE QUESTION MUST ALWAYS BE - HOW AM I 

FRUSTRATING HIS WORK IN ME?  WHAT SWEET FELLOWSHIP THERE 

IS WHEN WE WILL REPENT AND AGREE WITH THE GENTLE 

CONVICTING VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.



Ezekiel 14:12-14   PG 1053

The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by 

trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand 

upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, 

and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and 

beast from it:

Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, 

they should deliver [but] their own souls by their 

righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.

THIS IS SUCH A SOBERING MESSAGE.  IT ALMOST SEEMS TO 

CONTRADICT 2 CHRONICLES 7:14.  THIS IS AN EXTREMELY 

SOBERING MESSAGE.  THERE COMES A POINT REGARDING NATIONAL 

SINS WHEN THERE IS AN END TO GOD'S PATIENCE.  GOD SAYS 

EVEN PEOPLE LIKE NOAH, DANIEL, AND JOB IN THEIR PRAYERS 

FOR DELIVERANCE WOULD NOT CAUSE THEIR LAND TO BE HEALED 

BUT WOULD ONLY DELIVER THEMSELVES.  HAS AMERICA GONE THIS 

FAR IN ITS REJECTION OF GOD AND ITS NATIONAL SINS?









AUG 18   EZEKIEL 15 - 18               PG 1053 - 1060



Ezekiel 16:14-15  PG 1054

And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy 

beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which 

I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the 

harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy 

fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

DO YOU SEE THE PARALLEL BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE UNITED 

STATES OF AMERICA.  ISRAEL WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE GLORY 

OF GOD.  WHEN YOU READ THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT YOU WILL FIND 

THAT AMERICA WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE 

ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.  AMERICA WAS 

FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY AND DEVELOPED A UNIQUELY 

CHRISTIAN CULTURE.  IT WAS MADE A GREAT LAND BY ITS HARD 

WORKING, RISK TAKING, GOD FEARING PEOPLE.  GOD'S BLESSING 

WAS UPON THE LAND OF AMERICA JUST A SURELY AS IT WAS UPON 

ISRAEL.  ONLY THESE 2 NATIONS WERE FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY 

OF THE TRUE GOD.  AMERICA HAS PLAYED THE HARLOT.  TODAY 

AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD IN THE RUSH TO THE GLOBAL NEW 

WORLD ORDER WHICH WILL BE HEADED BY THE ANTICHRIST.  THE 

NATIONAL AGENDA OF AMERICA IS SPIRITUAL HARLOTRY FORM 

GOD'S PERSPECTIVE.  WITHOUT NATIONAL REPENTANCE AND A 

GREAT REVIVAL GOD'S JUDGMENT OF AMERICA IS CERTAIN.



Ezekiel 16:20-21   PG 1054 - 1055

Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom 

thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed 

unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a 

small matter,

That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to 

cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?

AMERICA IS GUILTY OF SACRIFICING 1,500,000 OF THEIR BABIES 

EVERY YEAR.  ABORTION IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS 

SACRIFICING CHILDREN TO MOLECH.  DO YOU SUPPOSE ISRAEL, 

THE OTHER NATION FOUNDED FOR THE GLORY OF THE TRUE GOD, 

WHICH WAS BEING WARNED OF GOD'S IMPENDING JUDGMENT, WAS  

SACRIFICING EVEN 1% OF THE CHILDREN AMERICA IS SACRIFICING 

EVERY YEAR?  AMERICA - WAKE UP!  JUDGMENT IS INEVITABLE IF 

THE NATIONAL COURSE OF ANTICHRIST AND ANTI GOD CONTINUES 

IN AMERICA.



Ezekiel 16:48-49  PG 1056

[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not 

done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and 

thy daughters.

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, 

fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and 

in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of 

the poor and needy.

WHAT A DESCRIPTION OF AMERICA.  AMERICA IS LEADING THE WAY 

TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER OF THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT OF 

ANTICHRIST.  CAN YOU SEE HOW THIS APPLIES TO US?



Ezekiel 16:60    PG 1056

Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the 

days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an 

everlasting covenant.

HERE IS WHERE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF IMPENDING JUDGMENT TO 

ISRAEL AND THE PROBABLE JUDGMENT OF AMERICA ARE DIFFERENT.  

AMERICA HAS NO SUCH PROMISE OF LIMITED DESTRUCTION AND THE 

SAVING OF EVEN REMNANTS OR ANYTHING SHORT OF TOTAL 

ANNIHILATION BY STRATEGIC NUCLEAR WAR.  AMERICA'S NATIONAL 

SINS ARE ON A MUCH GREATER SCALE.  GOD HAS NOT GIVEN HIS 

WORD SO CLEARLY THAT AMERICA WILL EVEN EXIST IN THE LAST 

DAYS WHEN HE WILL HAVE REGATHERED ISRAEL AND WILL DEFEND 

THEM FROM THE RUSSIAN INVASION.



Ezekiel 16:62-63  PG 1056

And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt 

know that I [am] the LORD:

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never 

open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am 

pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith 

the Lord GOD.

ISRAEL HAS SUCH GLORIOUS PROMISES OF GOD TO SEE THEM 

SURVIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.  ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY SUCH 

PROMISES WHICH WOULD GUARANTEE THAT AMERICA WILL EVEN 

EXIST IN THE LAST DAYS?



Ezekiel 18:4   PG 1058

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so 

also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, 

it shall die.

AS CREATOR, GOD IS THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF EVERYTHING AND 

EVERYONE.  YOU ARE FREE TO REJECT THIS IDEA UNTIL YOU DIE.  

THEN EVERYONE WILL KNOW THIS TRUTH.  GOD MAKES THE RULES.  

YOU CAN BREAK THEM UNTIL YOU DIE.  BEYOND DEATH NO ONE 

WILL BREAK ANY RULE OF GOD.  GOD IS SOVEREIGN OVER ALL.  

SOME PEOPLE ARE TOO FOOLISH TO FIGURE IT OUT WHILE THEY 

LIVE.



Ezekiel 18:20-23  PG 1059

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not 

bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father 

bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the 

righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the 

wicked shall be upon him.

But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath 

committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is 

lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall 

not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he 

hath done he shall live.

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? 

saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from 

his ways, and live?

MANY DENOMINATIONAL DEBATES COULD POSSIBLY BE STARTED AND 

ENDED WITH THESE VERSES.  ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED?  

BACKSLIDING?  PERHAPS HE WAS NEVER REALLY SAVED IN THE 

FIRST PLACE?  THESE VERSES HAVE SOME STRONG MEAT ANSWERS 

TO SOME QUESTIONS THAT HAVE CAUSED DENOMINATIONAL 

DIFFERENCES.  THERE SHOULD BE TRUTH HERE TO UNIFY THE BODY 

OF CHRIST.  THE SOUL THAT SINNETH IT SHALL DIE.  WE ARE 

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SINS OF OUR FATHERS OR OUR 

CHILDREN.  WE ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR 

OWN SINS.  JESUS CHRIST HAS PAID THE FULL PRICE FOR ALL 

THE SINS OF ALL MANKIND.  HOWEVER, WE CAN EITHER CONFESS 

OUR SINS AND ACCEPT AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS FOR OUR SINS 

OR ELSE WE WILL DIE IN THEM.  GOD PROVIDES NO OTHER WAY 

FOR MAN TO BE PASSED OVER IN JUDGMENT UNLESS THEIR SINS 

HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE BLOOD.  THE WICKED MUST TURN AWAY 

FROM HIS SINS AND THE RIGHTEOUS MUST CONTINUE IN 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  THE WALK ALWAYS HAS A DIRECTION.  YOU 

CANNOT STAND STILL IN THE WALK WITH GOD.  YOU EITHER WALK 

WITH AND TOWARD HIM OR YOU WALK AWAY AND APART FORM HIM.  

IT IS THE DIRECTION THAT WE ARE WALKING WHEN WE DIE THAT 

SETS OUR DIRECTION FOR ETERNITY.  GOD HAS NO PLEASURE IN 

THE SECOND DEATH OF ANYONE.  HOWEVER, GOD DOES ALLOW ALL 

MANKIND TO MAKE A FREEWILL CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM AND HIS 

LOVE AND HIS GRACE OR TO REJECT HIM AND HAVE THE ETERNAL 

TORMENT THAT COMES FROM HOPELESS ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM 

GOD.  IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT 

ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE.  THE KEY WORD IS 

REPENTANCE.  WE MUST REPENT.  OH DEARLY BELOVED OF GOD! - 

WILL YOU REPENT?  ANY OF US COULD DIE AT ANY SECOND.  DO 

YOU KNOW WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY WHERE YOU WILL SPEND 

ETERNITY?



Ezekiel 18:25-28   PG 1059

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O 

house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways 

unequal?

When a righteous [man] turneth away from his 

righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; 

for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his 

wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is 

lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his 

transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely 

live, he shall not die.

WOULD YOU SAY GOD IS NOT FAIR TO MAKE THE ACCEPTANCE OF 

JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR THE ONLY CRITERIA FOR 

ETERNAL LIFE OR DEATH?  THE FACT IS THAT EVERY HUMAN BEING 

IS A BORN SINNER.  SINNING IS AS NATURAL AS BREATHING.  

WHETHER WE SIN BIG OR WE SIN LITTLE NONE OF US CAN EVER 

MAKE UP TO GOD FOR ANY SIN.  GOD MUST PAY THE PRICE OF SIN 

FOR US.  WE ARE MUCH TOO PUNY AND OUR SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS 

STINKS.  GOD HAS PAID THE REQUIRED PRICE OF OUR SINS FOR 

US IN THE SHED BLOOD OF THE SPOTLESS PERFECT LAMB OF GOD.  

GOD COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE MORE FAIR OR MORE GRACIOUS.  

WILL YOU BELIEVE IT AND LIVE ACCORDINGLY OR WILL YOU DIE 

IN YOUR SINS?  GOD IS GOD.  HIS PROVISION IS THE ONLY 

PROVISION THAT CAN SAVE US.



Ezekiel 18:30b-32  PG 1060

Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your 

transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye 

have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new 

spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, 

saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live 

ye.

THIS IS WORTH MEMORIZING.  TURN AWAY FROM ALL YOUR 

OFFENSES; THEN SIN WILL NOT BE YOUR DOWNFALL.  RID 

YOURSELVES OF ALL THE OFFENSES YOU HAVE COMMITTED, AND GET 

A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT.  WHY WILL YOU DIE.  FOR I 

TAKE NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF ANYONE, DECLARES THE 

SOVEREIGN LORD.  REPENT AND LIVE!



THE TRUTH IS THAT WE NEED A NEW HEART AND NEW SPIRIT.  HOW 

DO WE GET A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT?  REPENT.  AGREE 

WITH GOD WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES YOU AWARE OF SINS.







AUG 19   EZEKIEL 19 - 22               PG 1060 - 1067



Ezekiel 20:22  PG 1062

Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my 

name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight 

of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.

GOD DID NOT DESTROY ISRAEL AS THEY CAME OUT OF EGYPT AND 

IMMEDIATELY REBELLED WITH THE GOLDEN CALF IDOL LICENSING 

THEIR SEXUAL IMMORALITY IN THE DESERT BECAUSE OF HIS OWN 

NAME'S SAKE.



Ezekiel 20:33-38  PG 1063

[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty 

hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured 

out, will I rule over you:

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather 

you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a 

mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury 

poured out.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, 

and there will I plead with you face to face.

Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of 

the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the 

Lord GOD.

And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will 

bring you into the bond of the covenant:

And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them 

that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of 

the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter 

into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I [am] the 

LORD.

THIS LOOKS TO THE FUTURE WHEN GOD WILL HAVE REGATHERED 

ISRAEL AND WILL PURGE THE REBELS WHO INSIST ON CONTINUING 

TO REJECT MESSIAH JESUS.  THE ONLY UNPARDONABLE 

TRANSGRESSION IS TO DIE REJECTING THE SALVATION WHICH 

JESUS HAS PURCHASED FOR ALL AT CALVARY.  THE DAY IS SOON 

COMING WHEN ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED.  ALL ISRAEL WILL 

SOME DAY KNOW JESUS AS LORD.



Ezekiel 21:25-27   PG 1065

And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is 

come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off 

the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that 

is] low, and abase [him that is] high.

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be 

no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will 

give it [him].

ZEDEKIAH WAS THE LAST KING OF JUDAH.  ISRAEL HAS HAD SOME 

PUPPET KINGS LIKE HEROD SET UP BY ROME BUT ZEDEKIAH WAS 

THE LAST KING ON THE THRONE OF DAVID.  THE GENEALOGIES IN 

MATTHEW 1 AND LUKE 3 PROVE JESUS' BIRTHRIGHT TO THE THRONE 

OF DAVID.  PILATE INSISTED THE INSCRIPTION "JESUS OF 

NAZARETH KING OF THE JEWS" BE ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY.  

GOD SAID THAT ZEDEKIAH WOULD BE OVERTHROWN AND THAT THE 

THRONE WOULD REMAIN EMPTY UNTIL HE COMES TO WHOM IT 

RIGHTFULLY BELONGS.  JESUS IS COMING AGAIN SOON AND HE 

WILL TAKE HIS RIGHTFUL POSITION ON THIS THRONE WHICH HAS 

BEEN VACANT AND IN RUINS SINCE ZEDEKIAH.  JESUS CHRIST 

WILL RULE THE WORLD FROM JERUSALEM AS KING OF KINGS AND 

LORD OF LORDS FOR 1000 YEARS.  WILL YOU HAVE A PLACE IN 

THIS SOON COMING WONDERFUL KINGDOM?



Ezekiel 22:6-12  PG 1066

Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to 

their power to shed blood.

In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the 

midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the 

stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the 

widow.

Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my 

sabbaths.

In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in 

thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee 

they commit lewdness.

In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in 

thee have they humbled her that was set apart for 

pollution.

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's 

wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; 

and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's 

daughter.

In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast 

taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of 

thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith 

the Lord GOD.

SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE AMERICAN SOAP OPERA THIS LIST OF SINS 

OF THE PRINCES OF ISRAEL.







AUG 20   EZEKIEL 23  2 CHRON 36        PG 1067 - 1070



Ezekiel 23:46-49   PG 1069

For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company 

upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.

And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch 

them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and 

their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that 

all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye 

shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that 

I [am] the Lord GOD.

THIS CONCLUDES THE ALMOST OFFENSIVE EXPOSURE OF THE TWO 

PROMISCUOUS SISTERS REPRESENTING ISRAEL AND JUDAH.  GOD 

WOULD BRING AN END TO THE SHAME OF ISRAEL'S SPIRITUAL 

ADULTERY.



II Chronicles 36:13   PG 1070

And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had 

made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and 

hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of 

Israel.

II Kings 25:1-2  PG 1070

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the 

tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] 

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, 

against Jerusalem, and pitched against it: and they built 

forts against it round about.

And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king 

Zedekiah.

ONE WOULD HAVE TO QUESTION THE SANITY OF KING ZEDEKIAH TO 

THINK OF REBELLING AGAINST KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR.  

INCIDENTALLY, KING ZEDEKIAH HAD SWORN BY GOD TO 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR THAT HE WOULD NOT REBEL.  THE SIEGE OF 

JERUSALEM LASTED 2 YEARS IN WHICH NO FOOD COULD COME INTO 

THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.  THUS EVERY HORRIBLE DETAIL OF THE 

PROPHECIES OF JUDGMENT ON JERUSALEM CAME TO PASS.









AUG 21   EZEKIEL 24                    PG 1070 - 1072



Ezekiel 24:1-2  PG 1070

Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth 

[day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, 

saying,

Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this 

same day: the king of Babylon set himself against 

Jerusalem this same day.

SEE DR. SMITH'S COMMENT.



Ezekiel 24:16-24   PG 1071-1072

Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of 

thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor 

weep, neither shall thy tears run down.

Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the 

tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon 

thy feet, and cover not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread 

of men.

So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my 

wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what 

these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so]?

Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, 

saying,

Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; 

Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of 

your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which 

your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom 

ye have left shall fall by the sword.

And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] 

lips, nor eat the bread of men.

And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes 

upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall 

pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward 

another.

Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he 

hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know 

that I [am] the Lord GOD.



THE COMMENTS OF DR. SMITH ARE FANTASTIC REGARDING THIS 

DAY'S STUDY.  THE ONLY THING THAT ONE MIGHT ADD IS THAT 

GOD WAS TAKING CARE OF THE JEWS IN CAPTIVITY IN BABYLON.  

IF THEY HAD PUBLICLY MOURNED THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM 

THEN IT WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE BEEN VIEWED BY 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR AS AN INDICATION OF DISLOYALTY BRINGING 

MOST CERTAIN REPRISALS.  THERE PROBABLY WAS NOTHING LESS 

DRAMATIC THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO KEEP THE PEOPLE IN 

THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY FROM BRINGING SUCH REPRISALS UPON 

THEMSELVES.  THE POINT WE SEE HERE IS THAT WE OUGHT TO 

THINK OF THE SACRIFICE OF EZEKIEL THE NEXT TIME WE THINK 

GOD MAY BE REQUIRING TOO MUCH OF US.









AUG 22   JEREMIAH 21-22 & 32-34       PG 1072 - 1077



Jeremiah 21:8-9  PG 1073

And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; 

Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of 

death.

He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and 

by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth 

out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he 

shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

JEREMIAH TELLS THE PEOPLE OF JERUSALEM THAT IF THEY WANT 

TO LIVE THEY MUST SURRENDER TO THE ARMY OF BABYLON.



Jeremiah 22:3    PG 1073

Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and 

righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of 

the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the 

stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed 

innocent blood in this place.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS IN ONE VERSE.  COMPARE THIS 

TO - Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; 

and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, 

and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?



Jeremiah 32:17-19  PG 1075

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the 

earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] 

there is nothing too hard for thee:

Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and 

recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of 

their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the 

LORD of hosts, [is] his name,

Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes [are] 

open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every 

one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of 

his doings:

NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD.  THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT 

GOD CAN NOT DO.  THAT IS LIE.  NOTHING CAN BE MORE CERTAIN 

THAN THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S WORD.  YOU CAN NOT HIDE 

ANYTHING FROM GOD.  GOD WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT JUSTICE IS 

ULTIMATELY SERVED.



Jeremiah 32:37-42  1076

Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I 

have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in 

great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, 

and I will cause them to dwell safely:

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may 

fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their 

children after them:

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I 

will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will 

put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart 

from me.

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will 

plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and 

with my whole soul.

For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this 

great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all 

the good that I have promised them.

IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL THAN ANY SHOULD PERISH.  GOD TAKES NO 

PLEASURE IN THE SUFFERING AND DEATH OF ANYONE.  GOD ONLY 

WANTS TO BLESS US.  THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE REFUSE TO 

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS GOD AND FOLLOW AFTER OUR OWN REBELLIOUS 

WAYS OF SIN RATHER THAN GOD'S WAY OF OBEDIENCE AND 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  GOD PROMISES TO REGATHER ISRAEL AND 

REJOICE OVER THEM AND BLESS THEM AND PROSPER THEM.  IF WE 

REBEL AGAINST GOD WE END UP WITH CURSES INSTEAD OF 

BLESSINGS.  MAN IN HIS PRIDE AND VANITY NATURALLY FALLS 

INTO REBELLION SO THAT JUDGMENT RATHER THAN BLESSINGS 

RESULTS.



Jeremiah 33:6-9  PG 1077

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure 

them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and 

truth.

And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity 

of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby 

they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their 

iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they 

have transgressed against me.

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an 

honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall 

hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear 

and tremble for all the goodness and for all the 

prosperity that I procure unto it.

WHAT TREMENDOUS ENCOURAGEMENT GOD GIVES IN THE FACE OF 

JUDGMENT.  ISRAEL IS GOING INTO CAPTIVITY BUT GOD PROMISES 

TO HEAL THEM AND RETURN THEM AND GIVE THEM PEACE.  ALL 

THEIR SINS WILL BE PARDONED.  THERE IS SOON COMING THE 

FULFILLMENT THAT ISRAEL WILL BE BLESSED BEFORE ALL THE 

NATIONS OF THE EARTH WHEN THE LORD RETURNS.







AUG 23   JEREMIAH 30, 31, & 33        PG 1077 - 1082



Jeremiah 30:10-11   PG 1078

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the 

LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save 

thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their 

captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, 

and be quiet, and none shall make [him] afraid.

For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though 

I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered 

thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will 

correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee 

altogether unpunished.

GOD SAYS THAT HE WILL MAKE A FULL END OF ALL THE NATIONS 

WHITHER I HAVE SCATTERED THEE.  WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?  HE 

WOULD NOT MAKE A FULL END OF ISRAEL.  THE NATIONS WHERE 

THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WOULD BE TAKEN CAPTIVE AND LIVE AS 

ALIENS WOULD SOME DAY BE TOTALLY DESTROYED.  THE NATIONAL 

SINS OF AMERICA ARE ON A MUCH GREATER SCALE THAN THE 

NATIONAL SINS OF ISRAEL FOR WHICH THEY WERE JUDGED.  THE 

CAPABILITY FOR THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA BY SOVIET 

NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS A VERY REAL AND PRESENT DANGER.  THEY 

ARE FALSE PROPHETS WHO SAY PEACE, PEACE, WHEN THERE IS NO 

PEACE.  WHAT CAN WE DO TO BRING ABOUT NATIONAL REPENTANCE 

AND REVIVAL IN AMERICA?



Jeremiah 30:16-17   PG 1079

Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and 

all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into 

captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and 

all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee 

of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an 

Outcast, [saying], This [is] Zion, whom no man seeketh 

after.

IT IS FANTASTIC AND FASCINATING TO SEE HOW GOD IS 

REGATHERING AND DEFENDING ISRAEL IN OUR TIME.  PROBABLY 

THE ONLY REASON WHY AMERICA HAS NOT YET BEEN JUDGED FOR 

OUR NATIONAL SINS OF ABORTION AND NATIONAL REBELLION 

AGAINST GOD IS THE SUPPORT WE GIVE TO ISRAEL.  IF AMERICAN 

POLICY EVER CHANGED REGARDING AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL 

THERE WOULD LIKELY NO LONGER BE A STAY IN THE EXECUTION OF 

JUDGMENT OF AMERICA.  THE DESTRUCTION WOULD BE FULL 

DESTRUCTION.  CHRISTIANS MUST GET READY AND STAY READY.



Jeremiah 31:3-4  PG 1080

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I 

have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with 

lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin 

of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, 

and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

GOD'S LOVE FOR ISRAEL IS AN EVERLASTING LOVE.  AMERICA 

MUST STAND UNITED WITH ISRAEL.

Jeremiah 31:10-11   PG 1080

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] 

in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel 

will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his 

flock.

For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from 

the hand of [him that was] stronger than he.

HOW COULD ANYONE WHO WOULD LOOK AT THE MODERN HISTORY OF 

ISRAEL SINCE 1948 AND FAIL TO SEE HOW GOD IS GATHERING AND 

SHEPHERDING ISRAEL?



Jeremiah 31:15  PG 1081

Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, 

lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her 

children refused to be comforted for her children, because 

they [were] not.

THIS VERSE IS QUOTED IN MATTHEW 2:18 TO REFER TO THE GRIEF 

OF THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN WHO WERE EXECUTED BY HEROD 

WHEN JESUS WAS BORN AND THE KINGS OF THE EAST DID NOT TELL 

HEROD THE LOCATION OF THE CHILD.  JOSEPH HAD TAKEN JESUS 

TO EGYPT BEFORE HEROD'S SLAUGHTER OF THE INFANTS.  RACHEL 

COULD BE CONSIDERED THE MOTHER OF ALL ISRAEL SINCE 

BENJAMIN REPRESENTED THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM AND EPHRAIM THE 

NORTHERN KINGDOM.



Jeremiah 31:19-20   PG 1081

Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that 

I was instructed, I smote upon [my] thigh: I was ashamed, 

yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of 

my youth.

[Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] a pleasant child? for 

since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him 

still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will 

surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.

EPHRAIM REPRESENTS ALL THE NORTHERN KINGDOM.  ISRAEL IS 

SEEN BY THE PROPHET JEREMIAH TO COME TO FULL REPENTANCE 

DURING THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY.  THERE ISRAEL PRAYS TO 

GOD FOR RESTORATION AND IS FULLY REPENTANT OF THEIR 

NATIONAL SIN OF REBELLION AGAINST GOD.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO 

SEE HOW GOD IN VERSE 20 YEARNS FOR EPHRAIM AS A PARENT 

YEARNS FOR HIS CHILD.  IN ALL OF GOD'S CURSING OF ISRAEL 

FOR THEIR SINS, GOD STILL LOVES ISRAEL AND PROMISES TO BE 

MERCIFUL TO ISRAEL.  THE MERCY OF GOD IS INFINITE AND 

EVERLASTING.  PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!









AUG 24   JEREMIAH 23, 31, & 33        PG 1082 - 1085



Jeremiah 23:1-2   PG 1083

Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep 

of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the 

pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, 

and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I 

will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the 

LORD.

WHEN GOD SAYS - WOE! - TO YOU, YOU BETTER LISTEN.  OH 

PASTOR, DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS IS THE CHARGE OF THE CARE 

OF GOD'S SHEEP?  OH FATHER, DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS IS THE 

CHARGE TO PROVIDE SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION ABOUT GOD TO YOUR 

CHILDREN?  IN THE LAST DAYS THEY WOULD HEAP TO THEMSELVES 

TEACHERS HAVING ITCHING EARS.  IS YOUR PASTOR TELLING YOU 

THE TRUTH OF THE NEED FOR REPENTANCE AND REVIVAL?  IS HE 

SAYING PEACE, PEACE, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE?  PEACE WILL 

NOT COME UNTIL THE PRINCE OF PEACE BRINGS IT AT HIS 

RETURN.  UNTIL THEN ANTICHRIST WILL BE GAINING MORE POWER 

AND CONTROL OVER ALL WHO ARE NOT TOTALLY COMMITTED TO GOD.  

GOD WILL REQUIRE THE BLOOD OF PASTORS WHO FAIL TO WARN 

THEIR CONGREGATIONS WHEN THE ENEMY IS ATTACKING?  PASTOR, 

ARE YOU PREPARING YOUR CONGREGATION TO GO THROUGH THE 

TRIBULATION?  PASTORS MUST PREPARE THEIR CONGREGATIONS FOR 

TRIBULATION?  PRAISE GOD IF WE ESCAPE TRIBULATION, BUT 

DON'T FAIL TO PREPARE FOR IT.  OUR BLESSED HOPE IS THE 

RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST, NOT THE RAPTURE WHICH WILL OCCUR 

COINCIDENTALLY WITH HIS RETURN.  THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE 

BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY.  ARE 

YOU HAVING FREQUENT TESTIMONY SERVICES?  HOW ELSE DO WE 

ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER?  HOW ELSE WILL THE PASTOR GAGE THE 

SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND MATURITY OF HIS CONGREGATION?



Jeremiah 23:5-6  PG 1083

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise 

unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and 

prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the 

earth.

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell 

safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, 

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS - ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.  OUR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.  IF WE FIND OUR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS ANYWHERE ELSE, IT IS SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS 

WHICH STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.  WHEN YOU SEE VERSES LIKE 

THIS YOU WONDER WHY THE JEWS CONTINUE TO FAIL TO RECOGNIZE 

THE IDENTITY OF MESSIAH.  JESUS IS THAT RIGHTEOUS BRANCH 

FROM THE LINE OF DAVID.  JESUS IS THAT RIGHTEOUS KING WHO 

WILL SOON RETURN TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT AND JUSTICE IN ALL 

THE EARTH.  ISRAEL CANNOT BE SAVED AS A NATION AND DWELL 

IN TOTAL SAFETY UNTIL MESSIAH JESUS IS RECOGNIZED AT HIS 

RETURN TO DESTROY THE ARMIES OF ANTICHRIST.



Jeremiah 33:14-16  PG 1083

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform 

that good thing which I have promised unto the house of 

Israel and to the house of Judah.

In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch 

of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall 

execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall 

dwell safely: and this [is the name] wherewith she shall 

be called, The LORD our righteousness.

GOD SAYS LOOK, WAKE UP, AND PAY ATTENTION!  THE DAYS ARE 

COMING WHEN GOD WILL PERFORM THAT GOOD THING.  WHAT IS 

THAT GOOD THING?  IT IS WHEN MESSIAH KING JESUS CHRIST, 

THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, FROM THE ROOTS OF DAVID, WILL 

EXECUTE JUDGMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.  JESUS CHRIST IS 

COMING SOON TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE ANTICHRIST NEW WORLD 

ORDER GLOBAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM WITH ONE FELL SWOOP.  THIS 

IS THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH JUDAH, THE JEWS, OR ANYONE ELSE 

WILL BE SAVED AND DWELL IN SAFETY.  MESSIAH JESUS IS THE 

LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.   IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE 

RIGHTEOUSNESS APART FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST - ALL YOU 

HAVE IS FILTHY, STINKING, SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS.



Jeremiah 31:31-34   PG 1084-1085

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a 

new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house 

of Judah:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their 

fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring 

them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they 

brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the 

LORD:

But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the 

house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will 

put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their 

hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my 

people.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and 

every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they 

shall all know me, from the least of them unto the 

greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their 

iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

WHAT IS THE NEW COVENANT?  IT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE 

CONDITIONAL OLD COVENANT GIVEN TO MOSES WHICH NO MAN COULD 

POSSIBLY KEEP.  THE NEW COVENANT IS WHERE GOD PUTS HIS LAW 

IN OUR HEARTS RATHER THAN WRITING IT ON TABLETS OF STONE.  

NO ONE WILL TEACH OR SAY TO ANYONE - "KNOW THE LORD."  

WHEN MESSIAH KING JESUS RETURNS EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM.  

EVERYONE WILL KNOW HIM FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE 

GREATEST OF THEM.  WILL YOU BE FILLED WITH DREAD OR 

RAPTUROUS JOY WHEN YOU SEE HIM COMING?  KING JESUS WILL 

SOLVE OUR SIN PROBLEM.







AUG 25   EZEKIEL  25, 29 -31          PG 1085 - 1091



Ezekiel 25:6-7   PG 1086

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped 

[thine] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in 

heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;

Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, 

and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I 

will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee 

to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and 

thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

GOD GIVES EZEKIEL HIS PRONOUNCEMENTS OF JUDGMENT ON AMMON, 

MOAB, EDOM, PHILISTA, AND EGYPT.  GOD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING 

IN THE WAY OF JUDGMENT EXCEPT HE FIRST REVEAL HIS SECRET 

TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS. (AMOS 3:7)  THESE PEOPLE 

WERE CELEBRATING THE JUDGMENT OF ISRAEL BEING DESTROYED 

AND GOING INTO CAPTIVITY.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER 

THAT GOD TAKES NO DELIGHT IN JUDGMENT.  ISRAEL'S REBELLION 

AGAINST GOD FORCED GOD TO JUDGE THEM.  GOD ALWAYS WANTS TO 

BLESS.  GOD CHOSE TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH 

ISRAEL.  THEY BECAME A NATION WHEN GOD DEMONSTRATED HIS 

MIGHTY POWER TO THE WORLD IN LEADING THEM OUT OF BONDAGE 

IN EGYPT.  GOD WANTED THE JEWS TO BE SO BLESSED THAT ALL 

THE WORLD WOULD BE JEALOUS TO HAVE ISRAEL'S GOD BE THEIR 

GOD.  GOD GAVE ISRAEL HIS LAW.  ISRAEL WAS TO SET THE 

WORLD'S STANDARDS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  GOD BLESSED THEM 

MIGHTILY.  AS SOON AS THEY WERE BLESSED THEY BECAME PUFFED 

UP IN SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND REBELLED AGAINST GOD AND HIS 

LAW.  IN STEAD OF SETTING THE STANDARDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS 

THEY WERE SETTING THE STANDARDS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.  THEY 

MADE GOD ASHAMED TO BE IDENTIFIED AS THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND 

FORCED GOD TO JUDGE THEM.  HOWEVER, WHEN THEY WERE JUDGED, 

IT DID NOT MEAN THAT GOD DID NOT LOVE THEM OR THAT HE HAD 

FORGOTTEN THEM.  WHEN THE NATIONS REJOICED OVER ISRAEL'S 

JUDGMENT THEY BROUGHT JUDGMENT UPON THEMSELVES.  WE SHOULD 

NEVER REJOICE OVER THE SUFFERINGS OF ANYONE.  ALL 

SUFFERING IS THE RESULT OF SIN.  SINCE JESUS CHRIST HAS 

OPENED THE WAY FOR ALL MANKIND TO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO 

GOD, WE SEE THAT THE LAW OF GOD, WHICH NO MAN COULD KEEP, 

HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE LAW OF LOVE AND GOD'S GRACE.  

TODAY ALL SUFFERING IS STILL THE RESULT OF SIN.  HOWEVER, 

TODAY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THE SUFFERING ARE GENERALLY 

NOT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THE SINNING.  WHEN WE SIN OUR 

ADVERSARY GETS A LICENCE TO CAUSE SUFFERING.  MOST PEOPLE 

DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THIS, BUT THE HIGHEST CALLING OF GOD 

TODAY IS TO BE COUNTED WORTHY OF SUFFERING FOR THE NAME OF 

JESUS CHRIST.  MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY ARE NOT SPIRITUALLY 

STRONG ENOUGH TO SUFFER.



Ezekiel 29:14-16   PG 1087

And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will 

cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the 

land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base 

kingdom.

It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it 

exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will 

diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the 

nations.

And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of 

Israel, which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance, 

when they shall look after them: but they shall know that 

I [am] the Lord GOD.

EGYPT WAS GOING TO BE CONQUERED BY BABYLON.  THEY WOULD 

NEVER AGAIN HAVE PROMINENCE AS A NATION.  ONE SIMPLY 

CANNOT AVOID SEEING GOD'S TRUTH IN PROPHESY.  ONE HAS TO 

WONDER AT THE TESTIMONY OF THE PYRAMIDS AND OTHER GRAND 

EVIDENCE OF EGYPT'S PROMINENCE AS A CIVILIZATION AND HOW 

THIS GREAT CIVILIZATION HAS NEVER AGAIN BEEN ANYTHING 

GREAT AS A NATION.









AUG 26   EZEKIEL  26 - 28               PG 1091 - 1096



Ezekiel 28:2  PG 1094

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the 

Lord GOD; Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou 

hast said, I [am] a God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in 

the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a man, and not God, 

though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SINS AND JUDGMENT OF TYRE 

EZEKIEL ALSO USES THE KING OF TYRE TO PERSONIFY AND GIVE 

US INFORMATION ABOUT SATAN.  THE HEBREW WORDS TRANSLATED 

GOD IN VERSE 2 ARE JEHOVAH, EL, ELOHEIM, EL, AND ELOHEIM 

IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY APPEAR IN THE VERSE.  HERE IS A 

SITUATION WHERE THE NIV IS HELPFUL IN SEPARATING THE TRUE 

GOD FROM THE FALSE gODS. THE 5 PLACES WHERE THE WORD GOD 

IS USED IN THIS VERSE SHOULD BE AS FOLLOWS G,g,G,g,G.  

THIS WAS THE SIN OF SATAN WHEN HE SAID IN HIS HEART "I 

SHALL BE LIKE UNTO THE MOST HIGH."   HOW STUPID - HOW MANY 

MOST HIGH'S CAN THERE BE?  AN ADAPTATION OF THE SIN AT THE 

HEART OF SATAN IS THE LIE WHICH HE GAVE ADAM AND EVE IN 

THE GARDEN.  HE HAS BEEN PUTTING NEW SUGAR COATINGS ON THE 

LIE EVER SINCE.  WE MUST BE HYPER SENSITIVE TO RECOGNIZE 

THIS LIE OF SATAN IN ALL ITS FORMS - "YE SHALL BE AS GOD", 

IS THE LIE DESIGNED TO TAKE ALL MEN TO HELL.



Ezekiel 28:3  PG 1095

Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret 

that they can hide from thee:

HERE EZEKIEL MAY BE TALKING ABOUT SATAN.



Ezekiel 28:4-5  PG 1095

With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast 

gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into 

thy treasures:

By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou 

increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because 

of thy riches:

HERE THE KING OF TYRE IS LIKELY THE SUBJECT.  IT IS VERY 

EASY FOR ONE'S HEART TO BE LIFTED UP WITH PRIDE THROUGH 

WEALTH.  WE MUST BE CAREFUL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD IS THE 

SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT.  GOD GIVES US 

WISDOM.  EVERY TALENT WE HAVE IS A GIFT FROM GOD.



Ezekiel 28:12-19  PG 1085-1086

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, 

and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up 

the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious 

stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the 

diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the 

sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the 

workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared 

in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have 

set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; 

thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of 

fire.

Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou 

wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the 

midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: 

therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain 

of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from 

the midst of the stones of fire.

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast 

corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will 

cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, 

that they may behold thee.

Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of 

thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; 

therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of 

thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes 

upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

All they that know thee among the people shall be 

astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never 

[shalt] thou [be] any more.

THERE IS NO CONFUSION HERE.  SATAN IS DEFINITELY THE 

SUBJECT.   COMPARE THIS WITH ISAIAH CHAPTER 14.  HE WAS 

CREATED PERFECT UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN HIS HEART.  HE 

WAS CREATED TO BE THE ANOINTED CHERUB WHO DELIVERED THE 

GIFTS AND PRAISES OF ALL THE ANGELS BEFORE THE THRONE OF 

GOD.  HE WAS CREATED PERFECT IN BEAUTY AND SONG AND FULL 

OF WISDOM.  PRIDE WAS HIS SIN AND HE BROUGHT VIOLENCE 

THROUGH HIS SIN OF PRIDE TO HEAVEN AND EARTH.  HE WILL BE 

BROUGHT TO ASHES IN THE SIGHT OF ALL MEN.  WE ARE ALL 

SUBJECT TO PRIDE AND VANITY.  WE ALL NEED TO CAREFULLY 

GUARD OUR HEARTS AGAINST THIS SOURCE OF ALL SIN AND EVIL, 

WHICH IS PRIDE.  IF WE WILL HUMBLE OURSELVES, GOD WILL 

LIFT US UP.



Ezekiel 28:25-26    PG 1096

Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the 

house of Israel from the people among whom they are 

scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of 

the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I 

have given to my servant Jacob.

And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build 

houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with 

confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those 

that despise them round about them; and they shall know 

that I [am] the LORD their God.

WE ARE QUITE LIKELY TO BE THE GENERATION TO WITNESS THE 

FULFILLMENT OF THIS PROPHESY.  GOD IS UNQUESTIONABLY 

REGATHERING ISRAEL FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.  ARE THEY YET 

DWELLING SAFELY?  YES AND NO.  WE SEE HOW GOD IS FIGHTING 

WITH THEM IN SUCH THINGS AS THEIR 92 TO 0 AIR TO AIR 

COMBAT VICTORY IN 1982.  DWELLING IN SAFETY PROBABLY WILL 

NOT OCCUR UNTIL THE LORD RETURNS.  IT COULD BE VERY SOON.







AUG 27   JEREMIAH 37 - 38               PG 1097 - 1099



Jeremiah 37:14-15  PG 1097

Then said Jeremiah, [It is] false; I fall not away to the 

Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took 

Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote 

him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the 

scribe: for they had made that the prison.

IF YOU ARE BOLD TO PROCLAIM THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD YOU 

NEED TO EXPECT TO BE PERSECUTED.  JEREMIAH WAS ACCUSED OF 

TREASON FOR GIVING THE WORD OF THE LORD AND IRIJAH HAD HIM 

BEATEN AND IMPRISONED.



Jeremiah 37:17-18   PG 1098

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the 

king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there 

[any] word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: 

for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the 

king of Babylon.

Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I 

offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against 

this people, that ye have put me in prison?

KING ZEDEKIAH HAD JEREMIAH RELEASED.  JEREMIAH TELLS HIM 

THAT HE WILL BE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY THE BABYLONIANS.



Jeremiah 38:3-6   PG 1098

Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into 

the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take 

it.

Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, 

let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the 

hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the 

hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: 

for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but 

the hurt.

Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he [is] in your hand: 

for the king [is] not [he that] can do [any] thing against 

you.

Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of 

Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that [was] in the court of 

the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in 

the dungeon [there was] no water, but mire: so Jeremiah 

sunk in the mire.

THE PRINCES WANTED TO KILL JEREMIAH AND ZEDEKIAH WOULD NOT 

GIVE JEREMIAH PROTECTION FROM THEM.  THEY THREW JEREMIAH 

INTO A CISTERN WHICH HAD NO WATER BUT JEREMIAH SANK INTO 

THE MUD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CISTERN.



Jeremiah 38:12-13  PG 1098-1099

And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now 

[these] old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine 

armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out 

of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the 

prison.

EBED-MELECH THE ETHIOPIAN PULLED JEREMIAH OUT OF THE MUD 

AND RELEASED HIM FROM THE CISTERN.



Jeremiah 38:20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver 

[thee]. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which 

I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy 

soul shall live.

AFTER ALL THE TRIALS WHICH HE HAD BEEN THROUGH JEREMIAH 

STILL TRIES TO ENCOURAGE ZEDEKIAH TO OBEY THE WORD OF THE 

LORD.  WHAT ABOUT US?  WILL WE OBEY THE WORD OF THE LORD?



Jeremiah 38:28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the 

prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was 

[there] when Jerusalem was taken.

JEREMIAH WAS PUT IN PRISON AND REMAINED THERE UNTIL THE 

CITY WAS FINALLY CAPTURED BY THE BABYLONIANS.





AUG 28   JEREMIAH 39, 40, 52   2 KINGS 25  PG 1100 - 1103



Jeremiah 52:9-11  PG 1100

Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king 

of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave 

judgment upon him.

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before 

his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of 

Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, 

and put him in prison till the day of his death.

JEREMIAH HAD PROPHESIED TO ZEDEKIAH THAT HE WOULD BE TAKEN 

CAPTIVE TO BABYLON AND DIE THERE IN CAPTIVITY AFTER 

WITNESSING THE DEATH OF HIS SONS.  IT HAPPENED EXACTLY 

THAT WAY.  THE ONLY DETAIL THAT JEREMIAH DID NOT GIVE 

ZEDEKIAH WAS THAT HE WOULD BE BLINDED.



Jeremiah 39:18   PG 1102

For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by 

the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: 

because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

JEREMIAH WAS FAITHFUL TO DELIVER THE WORD THAT GOD TOLD 

HIM.  IT MEANT HIS LIFE WAS CONTINUALLY THREATENED.  HE 

HAD BEEN BEATEN AND IMPRISONED MANY TIMES.  ALMOST 

EVERYONE IN HIS COUNTRY THOUGHT HE WAS A TRAITOR AND 

WANTED TO KILL HIM?  COULD WE HAVE HAD SUCH GREAT TRUST IN 

GOD?   JEREMIAH WAS NO QUITTER.  HE HAD ABSOLUTE TRUST AND 

OBEDIENCE TO GOD.



Jeremiah 40:1-6  PG 1102-1103

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that 

Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from 

Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among 

all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, 

which were carried away captive unto Babylon.

And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto 

him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this 

place.

Now the LORD hath brought [it], and done according as he 

hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and 

have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come 

upon you.

And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains 

which [were] upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to 

come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto 

thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into 

Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land [is] before thee: 

whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, 

thither go.

Now while he was not yet gone back, [he said], Go back 

also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, 

whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the 

cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or 

go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So 

the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, 

and let him go.

Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to 

Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left 

in the land.

HOW DO YOU THINK NEBUZAR-ADAN KNEW THAT IT WAS THE LORD 

WHO HAD BROUGHT THIS JUDGMENT ON JEREMIAH'S NATION?  THIS 

MAN WAS COMMANDER OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD.  BY NOW DANIEL 

WAS A VERY GREAT MAN IN KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S COURT.  

DANIEL HAD BEEN WITNESSING TO THIS COMMANDER OF THE 

IMPERIAL GUARD.  IT IS LIKELY THAT DANIEL HAD TOLD THIS 

COMMANDER OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD TO LOOK FOR JEREMIAH AND 

CARE FOR HIM.







AUG 29   LAMENTATIONS 1 - 2                PG 1103 - 1109

Lamentations 1:5   PG 1104

Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for 

the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her 

transgressions: her children are gone into captivity 

before the enemy.

IN HIS LAMENTATIONS JEREMIAH MAKES IT CLEAR THAT ISRAEL 

WAS DESTROYED BECAUSE OF THE MULTITUDE OF HER 

TRANSGRESSIONS.  IT IS NEVER GOD'S WILL TO BRING 

DESTRUCTIONS.  IT IS THE SINS OF MEN WHICH FORCES GOD'S 

JUDGMENT.  IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT 

THAT ALL WOULD COME TO REPENTANCE AND RECEIVE HIS 

BLESSINGS.



Lamentations 1:18 & 20  PG 1105-1106

The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his 

commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my 

sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into 

captivity.

Behold, O LORD; for I [am] in distress: my bowels are 

troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have 

grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home 

[there is] as death.

GOD IS ALWAYS JUSTIFIED IN WHATEVER HE DOES.  HE IS GOD.  

IT IS ALWAYS OUR REBELLION WHICH FORCES GOD'S JUDGMENT.  

GOD PLACES A VERY HIGH PRIORITY ON BEING UNDER AUTHORITY.  

IT WAS REBELLION WHICH BROUGHT ABOUT THE SOURCE OF EVIL.  

SATAN WAS A PREFECT BEING UNTIL HE SET HIS HEART TO REBEL 

AGAINST GOD.  WE MUST ACCEPT AND SUBMIT TO THE AUTHORITY 

WHICH GOD PLACES OVER US.  OUR REBELLION IS NOT A VIABLE 

OPTION.  WHEN WE ARE IN OBEDIENCE THE AUTHORITY OVER US 

WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY GOD.  WHEN WE REBEL WE HAVE 

TAKEN THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE AUTHORITY OVER US OUT OF 

GOD'S HANDS.  IT MAY AT TIMES SEEM LIKE A VIABLE OPTION 

BUT IT IS NOT THE RIGHT OR WISE OPTION.  WHEN WE STAY IN 

OBEDIENCE AND SUBMISSION, THAT AUTHORITY OVER US BECOMES 

DIRECTLY ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.  GOD IS WILL FIX OR REMOVE 

WRONG AUTHORITY OVER US IF WE STAY IN OBEDIENCE.



Lamentations 2:6   PG 1107

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it 

were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the 

assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and 

sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the 

indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

GOD HAD BEEN WITH THE NATION OF ISRAEL SINCE ABRAHAM 

ENTERED INTO COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.  GOD HAD 

PROMISED TO BLESS AND PROSPER THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.  

WHEN HE MADE THEM A GREAT NATION BY HIS MIGHTY MIRACLES 

THAT BROUGHT THEM OUT OF BONDAGE IN EGYPT HE GAVE THEM THE 

TABERNACLE.  GOD EFFECTIVELY PUT A HEDGE OR A FENCE AROUND 

THE NATION TO PROTECT IT AN ALLOW IT TO FLOURISH.  IT WAS 

HOW WE PUT A FENCE AROUND OUR GARDEN TO PROTECT IT FROM 

BEING EATEN BY THE WILD CRITTERS AROUND IT.   BECAUSE WHAT 

WAS GROWING IN THE GARDEN WAS NOT WHAT HE HAD PLANTED AND 

WAS A STINKING MESS, GOD REMOVED HIS PROTECTIVE BARRIERS 

AND ALLOWED THE WILD ANIMALS (THE BABYLONIANS) TO REMOVE 

AND DESTROY THE GARDEN.



Lamentations 2:11   PG 1107

Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my 

liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the 

daughter of my people; because the children and the 

sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

JEREMIAH HAD SUFFERED A GREAT DEAL IN HIS FAITHFULNESS TO 

DELIVER THE MESSAGES OF IMPENDING JUDGMENT.  HE TRIED HARD  

TO GET HIS NATION TO REPENT AND AVOID GOD'S JUDGMENT.  

JEREMIAH WAS THE WEEPING PROPHET.  FIRST HE WAS OBEDIENT 

TO GOD NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT WOULD CAUSE HIM TO SUFFER 

PERSONALLY.  SECOND, HE WANTED HIS NATION TO PROSPER AND 

BE BLESSED RATHER THAN BE JUDGED BY GOD.  THE LAST THING 

JEREMIAH EVER WOULD THINK OF IS GLOATING OVER THE HORRIBLE 

SUFFERING OF THE REBELLIOUS ISRAELITES.  GOD WANTED TO 

BLESS ISRAEL.  BLESSINGS COME FROM OBEDIENCE TO GOD.  

REBELLION AGAINST GOD BROUGHT HARDSHIP AND SUFFERING.  

SINCE THE NEW COVENANT IT IS NOT QUITE SO SIMPLE.  UNDER 

THE NEW COVENANT THOSE WHO SIN GIVE SATAN A LICENCE TO 

ATTACK THE BODY OF CHRIST.  IT IS USUALLY NOT THE ONE WHO 

DOES THE SINNING WHO DOES THE SUFFERING.  IF WE UNDERSTOOD 

THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR SINS CAUSING OTHERS TO SUFFER WE 

WOULD STOP THE SINNING.









AUG 30   LAMENTATIONS 3 - 5                PG 1109 - 1115



Lamentations 3:5   PG 1109

He hath builded against me, and compassed [me] with gall 

and travail.

SOME HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE MENTION OF GALL MAKES THIS 

PORTION OF JEREMIAH'S LAMENTATION A MESSIANIC REFERENCE.  

IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT JEREMIAH IS SIMPLY RECOUNTING HIS 

OWN SUFFERING AND REPROACH FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE.  NEVER 

FORGET WHAT JESUS SAID REGARDING SUFFERING FOR 

RIGHTEOUSNESS'S SAKE - Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed [are] they 

which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs 

is the kingdom of heaven.  Blessed are ye, when [men] 

shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all 

manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.  Rejoice, 

and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in 

heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were 

before you.  IT IS NOT NATURAL TO WANT TO SUFFER.  YET IF 

YOU DARE TO BE TOTALLY OBEDIENT AND BOLD IN YOUR WITNESS 

FOR JESUS CHRIST YOU MUST EXPECT SUFFERING AND REPROACH 

FROM EVERYONE INCLUDING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  IF YOU 

SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE - REJOICE.  EXPECT IT.  DO 

NOT BE OVERWHELMED WHEN IT HAPPENS.  REJOICE WHEN IT 

HAPPENS.

Lamentations 3:6 PG 1109

He hath set me in dark places, as [they that be] dead of 

old.

JEREMIAH IS LIKELY REFERRING TO HIS STAY IN THE DUNGEONS 

AND MUDDY CISTERN.



Lamentations 3:8   PG 1109

Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

GOD HEARS OUR PRAYERS.  GOD KNOWS OUR EVERY THOUGHT.  

SOMETIMES IT MAY SEEM LIKE HE IS NOT LISTENING TO OUR 

PRAYERS BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE.  ALL WE SEE IS OUR PRESENT 

CIRCUMSTANCES.  GOD KNOWS THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.  GOD 

HAS OMNISCIENT KNOWLEDGE OF OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.  FOR OUR 

GOOD, HE WILL OFTEN ANSWER OUR PRAYERS WITH NO, OR WAIT.  

THE KEY IS THAT WE TRUST HIM.  DON'T EVER FALL IN THE TRAP 

THAT JEREMIAH SUGGESTS HERE THAT GOD DOES NOT HEAR OUR 

PRAYER.  GOD HEARS EVERY PRAYER, KNOWS EVERY THOUGHT, 

EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE, AND IS WORKING ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR 

OUR GOOD IF OUR HEARTS ARE SET RIGHT TOWARD HIM.



Lamentations 3:14   PG 1110

I was a derision to all my people; [and] their song all 

the day.

IN HIS FAITHFULNESS TO DELIVER THE WORD OF GOD TO HIS 

PEOPLE HE WAS HATED, BEATEN, IMPRISONED, MOCKED, AND 

PERSECUTED.  IT IS NOT NATURAL TO REJOICE ABOUT SUCH 

THINGS.  WE NEED TO LEARN TO EXPECT PERSECUTION AND 

REJOICE IN IT.



Lamentations 3:18-26   PG 1110

And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the 

LORD:

Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood 

and the gall.

My soul hath [them] still in remembrance, and is humbled 

in me.

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

[It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, 

because his compassions fail not.

[They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.

The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I 

hope in him.

The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the 

soul [that] seeketh him.

[It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly 

wait for the salvation of the LORD.

EVEN THOUGH JEREMIAH DID NOT KNOW TO EXPECT AND REJOICE IN 

PERSECUTION HE KNEW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.  JEREMIAH 

KNEW OF GOD'S INFINITE MERCY.  MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER 

JUDGMENT.  MERCY IS SOMETHING THAT DELIGHTS GOD.  JUDGMENT 

IS SOMETHING WHICH OUR CHOICE OF SIN CAUSES GOD TO DO IN 

ORDER TO MAINTAIN HIS INTEGRITY.  GOD TAKES NO DELIGHT IN 

JUDGMENT.  GOD DELIGHTS IN MERCY.  JEREMIAH KEEPS HIS HOPE 

AND TRUST IN GOD NO MATTER WHAT.

Lamentations 3:27   PG 1110

[It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

WISE PEOPLE WORK FOR THE LORD WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG AND HAVE 

MORE STRENGTH AND ENERGY.  OUR DESTINY OF HEAVEN OR HELL 

IS NOT DETERMINED BY WHAT WE HAVE DONE OTHER THAN 

ACCEPTING OR REJECTING WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US.  WE 

WILL HOWEVER HAVE ETERNAL EVERLASTING REWARDS FOR EVERY 

GOOD WORK THAT WE DO STRICTLY FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.  

EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE DO, IF IT IS NOT SINGLY DONE TO 

GLORIFY GOD, WILL PERISH FROM US WHEN WE DIE.  THAT IS WHY 

IT IS SO VERY WISE TO SET YOUR HEART TOTALLY TO DO GOD'S 

WILL WHEN YOUR ARE YOUNG AND HAVE MORE STRENGTH AND 

ENERGY.



Lamentations 3:31-33  PG 1110

For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion 

according to the multitude of his mercies.

For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children 

of men.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PROFOUND TRUTH IS EXPRESSED HERE.  READ 

IT SEVERAL TIMES.  MEDITATE ON THIS.  IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL 

THAT ANYONE SHOULD PERISH OR SUFFER.  GOD RESPECTS OUR 

FREE WILL TO CHOOSE AND ALLOWS THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN IN 

ORDER TO MAINTAIN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND INTEGRITY.



Lamentations 3:39-41  PG 1111

Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the 

punishment of his sins?

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the 

LORD.

Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the 

heavens.

NO ONE SHOULD EVER WANT TO GET WHAT WE DESERVE.  THE SAD 

TRUTH IS THAT WE ALL DESERVE TO GO TO HELL.  THE GOOD NEWS 

OF THE GOSPEL IS THAT NONE OF US, EXCEPT THOSE WHO REJECT 

JESUS CHRIST, HAVE TO GET WHAT WE DESERVE.  SIN HAS 

CONSEQUENCES.  WE NEED TO READ GOD'S WORD EVERY DAY AND 

DEVELOP A SENSITIVITY TO THE QUIET, GENTLE, CONVICTING 

VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTING US TO MAKE OUR WAYS 

BETTER ALIGNED WITH GOD'S PERFECT WILL FOR OUR LIFE.  

HOLINESS IS WHAT WE MUST BE STRIVING FOR EVERY DAY.  THIS 

IS WHY PEOPLE DO NOT READ GOD'S WORD EVERY DAY.  WE DON'T 

WANT TO BE CONVICTED OF OUR SINS.  YET THIS IS OUR 

GREATEST NEED.  WE ARE NOT TALKING CONDEMNATION BUT 

CONVICTION.  WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO OUR SOUL FROM 

THE WORD OF GOD, THEN IT IS PAINFUL DECISION TIME.  WILL 

IT BE GOD'S WAY OR MY WAY?  THAT IS THE QUESTION.  HOW 

HAVE I ANSWERED THE QUESTION TODAY?  HAVE I AVOIDED THE 

QUESTION TODAY BY FAILING TO READ GOD'S WORD AND LISTEN TO 

THE GENTLE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTING ME OF THE ERROR IN MY 

WAY?  THIS IS THE WAY OF HOLINESS.  IT IS SO EASY TO 

DECEIVE OUR SELF AND OUR FRIENDS.  IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO 

DECEIVE GOD.

Lamentations 3:55-58   PG 1111-1112

I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my 

breathing, at my cry.

Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon thee: 

thou saidst, Fear not.

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast 

redeemed my life.

GOD SAYS FEAR NOT.  FEAR IS THE OPPOSITE OF FAITH AND 

TRUST.  IF YOU TRUST GOD, WHY FEAR ANYTHING?  GOD HAS 

REDEEMED YOU.  JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR YOUR LIFE THAT YOU 

COULD NOT PAY.  DO YOU TRUST HIM?  IF YOU TRUST HIM, WHY 

DO YOU FEAR ANYTHING?  FEAR IS SATAN'S BIG GUN.  IF YOU 

WILL NOT FEAR,  YOU CAN RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE 

FROM YOU.



Lamentations 4:6  PG 1112

For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my 

people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, 

that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on 

her.

THE PUNISHMENT OF SODOM WAS LIKE A NUCLEAR WEAPON 

DESTROYS.  DEATH IN AN INSTANT.  BUT WAS THE PUNISHMENT OF 

JUDAH GREATER?  WHERE DID THE SODOMITES GO FOR ETERNITY?  

WHO KNOWS THE EXTENT OF THEIR ETERNAL SUFFERING?  GOD WAS 

GIVING THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH A CHANCE TO REPENT DURING THEIR 

PROLONGED SUFFERING.  IF YOU DRAW YOUR LAST BREATH RIGHT 

NOW WILL YOU BE SPENDING ETERNITY IN JOY OR TORMENT?  HOW 

CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT A CERTAIN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION?  

DO YOU AVOID THE QUESTION?  IF THE QUESTION TROUBLES YOU, 

TAKE IT TO JESUS.  ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE YOU THE ASSURANCE 

OF THE ANSWER.  HE HAS THE ANSWER.   HE IS THE ANSWER.



Lamentations 4:12-13  PG 1113

The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the 

world, would not have believed that the adversary and the 

enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

For the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her 

priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst 

of her,

JUST AS EVERYONE THOUGHT JERUSALEM COULD NOT FALL, SO MANY 

AMERICANS THINK AMERICA IS SAFE.  HAS ANY RUSSIAN 

STRATEGIC WEAPON AIMED AT AMERICA BEEN DISMANTLED?  THE 

THREAT GROWS GREATER EVERY DAY THAT THE RUSSIAN LEADERS 

GROW MORE DESPERATE.  HAVE AMERICA'S PREACHERS BEEN 

WARNING OF NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION OR ARE THEY PREACHING A 

PRE-TRIB RAPTURE?  IS REPENTANCE AND HOLINESS BEING 

PREACHED IN YOUR CHURCH?  WOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR CHURCH IF 

IT WERE BEING PREACHED?  ARE YOU SO IN LOVE WITH THIS 

WORLD THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT SUCH THINGS?



Lamentations 5:21   PG 1115

Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; 

renew our days as of old.

WILL WE HAVE RENEWAL AND REVIVAL IN AMERICA?  IT IS UP TO 

YOU AND ME.  WILL WE READ OUR BIBLE EVERY DAY?   WILL I 

REPENT?  WILL IT BE GOD'S WAY OR MY WAY?  IT IS MY WAY 

AUTOMATICALLY IF I WILL NOT READ GOD'S WORD.  WILL WE TURN 

TO GOD OR CONTINUE IN OUR OWN WAY TO DESTRUCTION?







AUG 31   JEREMIAH 40 -45                  PG 1115 - 1120



Jeremiah 40:9   PG 1115

And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware 

unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the 

Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of 

Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

GEDALIAH WAS A GOOD MAN WHO PROBABLY HAD BEEN APPOINTED 

GOVERNOR OF JUDAH BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR AT THE RECOMMENDATION 

OF DANIEL.



Jeremiah 41:2-3   PG 1116

Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men 

that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 

the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the 

king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [even] 

with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were 

found there, [and] the men of war.

JONANAN HAD WARNED GEDALIAH ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION PLOT 

OF ISHMAEL.  GEDALIAH KNEW IT WOULD BE VERY FOOLISH FOR 

ANYONE TO ASSASSINATE A GOVERNOR APPOINTED BY KING 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR.  SURE ENOUGH THE RUTHLESS FOOL ISHMAEL DID 

KILL GEDALIAH.  THIS WOULD CERTAINLY BRING REPRISALS TO 

THE FEW JEWS LEFT IN JUDAH.



Jeremiah 41:7-8   PG 1116

And it was [so], when they came into the midst of the 

city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, [and 

cast them] into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that 

[were] with him.

But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, 

Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, 

and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, 

and slew them not among their brethren.

THIS ISHMAEL HAD KILLED THE GOVERNOR WHO WAS APPOINTED BY 

THE MOST POWERFUL KING IN THE WORLD.  THIS WOULD PLACE HIS 

COUNTRYMEN IN HARMS WAY OF ALMOST CERTAIN REPRISAL BY THE 

KING.  HE HAD ALSO KILLED ABOUT 80 OF HIS COUNTRYMEN.  TEN 

WERE NOT KILLED WHO TOLD ISHMAEL THAT IF HE KILLED THEM HE 

WOULD NOT KNOW THE LOCATIONS OF THEIR TREASURED STORES OF 

GRAIN.  IF JOHANAN KILLS ISHMAEL THAT WOULD MAKE HIM A 

HERO TO LEAD THE FEW JEWS LEFT IN JUDAH, RIGHT?  WRONG!



Jeremiah 42:1-2 & 5-6  PG 1116

Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son 

of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the 

people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,

And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, 

our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us 

unto the LORD thy God, [even] for all this remnant; (for 

we are left [but] a few of many, as thine eyes do behold 

us:)

Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and 

faithful witness between us, if we do not even according 

to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send 

thee to us.

Whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will 

obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; 

that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the 

LORD our God.

SO JOHANAN KILLED ISHMAEL AND GOES TO JEREMIAH TO GET 

DIRECTION FROM GOD.  IT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE HE IS A GOOD 

MAN TO LEAD THE FEW REMAINING JEWS IN JUDAH, RIGHT?  

WHATEVER GOD SAYS IS WHAT WE WILL DO, RIGHT?  WRONG!



Jeremiah 42:9-12  PG 1117

And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of 

Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication 

before him;

If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build 

you, and not pull [you] down, and I will plant you, and 

not pluck [you] up: for I repent me of the evil that I 

have done unto you.

Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are 

afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I [am] 

with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy 

upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.

GOD SAYS DON'T BE AFRAID OF REPRISALS FROM NEBUCHADNEZZAR.  

STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND I WILL PROTECT YOU AND BLESS 

YOU.  GOD IS PREPARED TO SHOW HIS GREAT MERCY AND POUR OUT 

HIS GREAT BLESSINGS ON THESE FEW REMAINING JEWS.  SURELY, 

THIS GOOD NEWS FROM THE LORD WILL CAUSE THE FEW REMAINING 

JEWS TO LIVE IN PRAISE AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD, RIGHT?  

WRONG!



Jeremiah 42:15-18  PG 1117 - 1118

And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of 

Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If 

ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to 

sojourn there;

Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword, which ye 

feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and 

the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close 

after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.

So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go 

into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, 

by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them 

shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring 

upon them.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As 

mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the 

inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth 

upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be 

an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a 

reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.

CAN YOU SHOW ME THE UNCONDITIONAL BLESSING PROMISES OF 

GOD?  HERE, AS IN ALMOST EVERY PROMISE OF BLESSING, THE 

CONDITION OF OBEDIENCE IS COUPLED WITH THE PROMISE OF 

CURSES WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT UPON OURSELVES FROM REBELLION 

AND/OR DISOBEDIENCE.  GOD'S PROMISES ARE ALL CERTAIN.  

NOTHING IS MORE CERTAIN THAN THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S WORD.  

SOMEHOW WE SEEM TO MISS THE FACT THAT THE BLESSINGS ARE 

ALMOST INVARIABLY CONDITIONAL BASED ON OBEDIENCE.



Jeremiah 43:2   PG 1118

Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the 

son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto 

Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not 

sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

HERE NOW WE SEE OUR HERO JOHANAN NUMBERED AMONG THE PROUD 

MEN.  WHY IS PRIDE TAUGHT AS SOME SORT OF VIRTUE?  IT IS A 

SERIOUS BESETTING SIN WHICH WILL GET US IN TO ALL SORTS OF 

TROUBLE.  IT IS ONLY BY HUMBLING OURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD 

THAT WE ARE LIFTED UP OUT OF THE MIRE OF OUR PRIDE AND 

VANITY.  ARE YOU PROUD OF YOUR HUMILITY?



Jeremiah 44:16   PG 1119

[As for] the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the 

name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.

WHEN THE MAN OF GOD EXPLAINS THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE 

AND THE CURSES THAT FOLLOW REBELLION AND DISOBEDIENCE WILL 

I PAY ATTENTION OR NOT?



Jeremiah 44:18-19  PG 1119

But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of 

heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have 

wanted all [things], and have been consumed by the sword 

and by the famine.

And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and 

poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes 

to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, 

without our men?

THIS IS INTERESTING.  THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOING GOOD   

AS LONG AS THEY WERE WORSHIPING THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN????  

THEREFORE THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION IS THAT GOD IS THE QUEEN 

OF HEAVEN OR THAT THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN IS GOD.  DON'T LAUGH 

AT THIS.  THERE ARE SOME MAIN LINE DENOMINATIONS WHICH ARE 

TRYING TO TEACH THIS GARBAGE AS DOCTRINE TODAY.  MOTHER 

EARTH AND THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN CAN TAKE YOU ON A FAST TRACK 

TO HELL AND DESTRUCTION.  THE BIBLE HAS NOTHING GOOD TO 

SAY REGARDING DEVOTIONS TO THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN.  I Timothy 

2:5 - For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God 

and men, the man Christ Jesus;





SEP 1   EZEKIEL 33 - 36                  PG 1121 - 1126



Ezekiel 34:1-6  PG 1122

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, 

prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto 

the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do 

feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill 

them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.

The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye 

healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that 

which was] broken, neither have ye brought again that 

which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which 

was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled 

them.

And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd: 

and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when 

they were scattered.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon 

every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the 

face of the earth, and none did search or seek [after 

them].

JESUS GIVES THE EXAMPLE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD WHO LAYS DOWN 

HIS LIFE FOR HIS SHEEP.  WHEN GOD SAYS WOE, YOU KNOW IT IS 

VERY SERIOUS INDEED.  PASTORSHIP OR SHEPHERDING IS THE 

MOST SERIOUS WORK.  IT IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST DELIVERING A 

GOOD SERMON ONCE A WEEK.  THE PASTOR MUST BE INVOLVED WITH 

THE CONCERNS, NEEDS, HURTS AND PROBLEMS OF THOSE IN HIS 

FLOCK.  HE DOES NOT STOP TRYING TO GET THE LOST SHEEP BACK 

INTO THE FOLD.



Ezekiel 34:10   PG 1122

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the 

shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and 

cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall 

the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver 

my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for 

them.

IF GOD IS AGAINST YOU IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHO 

IS FOR YOU, YOU ARE IN MORE TROUBLE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE.  

GOD PROMISES TO DELIVER HIS FLOCK FROM THE PASTOR WHO IS 

NOT GENUINELY CONCERNED WITH THE WELFARE OF HIS FLOCK.  IF 

THE PASTOR VIEWS HIS WORK AS JUST A JOB TO PROVIDE HIM A 

LIVING, GOD PROMISES TO DELIVER THE FLOCK AWAY FROM HIM.



Ezekiel 34:21-24  PG 1123

Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and 

pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have 

scattered them abroad;

Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be 

a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall 

feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, 

and he shall be their shepherd.

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a 

prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].

THIS IS DEFINITELY A MESSIANIC PROPHESY.  JESUS IS THE ONE 

GREAT GOOD SHEPHERD WHO WILL BE THE SHEPHERD OF ALL.



Ezekiel 34:28-31  PG 1123

And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither 

shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall 

dwell safely, and none shall make [them] afraid.

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they 

shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither 

bear the shame of the heathen any more.

Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am] with 

them, and [that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] 

my people, saith the Lord GOD.

And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] 

I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.

DURING THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES THE JEWS HAVE BEEN THE 

TARGET OF POLITICAL REPRISALS IN MOST OF THE LANDS WHERE 

THEY HAVE BEEN SCATTERED.  SOME DAY THEY SHALL COME TO 

KNOW THEIR MESSIAH AND GOD SHALL DWELL WITH THEM.  ALL 

READY WE ARE SEEING THE PROMISED REGATHERING AND HOW GOD 

IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN PROTECTING THEM AND DEFENDING 

THEM.



Ezekiel 36:24-28  PG 1125

For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you 

out of all countries, and will bring you into your own 

land.

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be 

clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, 

will I cleanse you.

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I 

put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out 

of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk 

in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do 

[them].

And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your 

fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your 

God.

IT IS EXCITING TO KNOW THAT WE ARE THE GENERATION TO SEE 

THIS REGATHERING PROPHESY BEING FULFILLED.  WHAT WILL BE 

MOST EXCITING IS WHEN WE SEE THIS NEW HEART AND NEW SPIRIT 

BEING PUT INTO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.  THE NEW HEART AND 

NEW SPIRIT COMES TO ALL WHO RECEIVE MESSIAH JESUS.  THIS 

IS COMING AND THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE WILL BE THE 

GENERATION TO SEE IT ALTHOUGH WE MAY HAVE TO OVERCOME 7 

YEARS OF TRIBULATION FIRST.  HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE NEW 

HEART AND NEW SPIRIT?  WE ARE ALL STONE HEARTED UNTIL WE 

RECEIVE THE NEW HEART AND SPIRIT.





SEP 2   EZEKIEL 37 - 39                  PG 1126 - 1130



Ezekiel 37:1-3  PG 1126

The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in 

the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of 

the valley which [was] full of bones,

And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, 

[there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they 

were] very dry.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And 

I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

THIS WAS A TOUGH QUESTION FOR EZEKIEL.  UNTIL JESUS ROSE 

AGAIN FROM THE DEAD NONE OF US COULD BE CERTAIN OF LIFE 

AFTER DEATH.  THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS IS ONE OF THE MOST 

ACCURATELY DOCUMENTED FACTS OF HISTORY.  I Corinthians 

15:4-6 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the 

third day according to the scriptures:  And that he was 

seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:  After that, he was 

seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the 

greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen 

asleep.  THERE IS NO WAY 500 PEOPLE COULD HAVE THE SAME 

HALLUCINATION AT THE SAME TIME.



Ezekiel 37:10  PG 1126

So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came 

into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, 

an exceeding great army.

TODAY ISRAEL HAS THE ONLY INVINCIBLE ARMY IN THE WORLD.  

GOD IS ON THE SIDE OF ISRAEL AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE 

DEFEATED AGAIN.





Ezekiel 37:12-14  PG 1127

Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord 

GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and 

cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you 

into the land of Israel.

And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened 

your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your 

graves,

And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I 

shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that 

I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the 

LORD.

GOD HAS INDEED RESURRECTED THE NATION OF ISRAEL.  IT IS 

OUR GENERATION WHICH HAS SEEN ISRAEL ESTABLISHED AND 

BLOSSOM AS A NATION.  FOR 25OO YEARS THIS PROPHESY 

REMAINED IN OBSCURITY AND IN 1948 WE SEE ISRAEL AS A 

NATION AGAIN IN THE LAND THAT GOD GAVE THEM.



Ezekiel 38:1-6  PG 1128

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, 

the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy 

against him,

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against 

thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, 

and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses 

and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of 

armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, 

all of them handling swords:

Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with 

shield and helmet:

Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the 

north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with 

thee.

THESE NAMES GOG, MEGOG, MESHECH, TUBAL ALL POINT TO A 

NORTHERN INVASION OF ISRAEL BY THE CHIEF PRINCE (HEBREW = 

ROSHE) OR RUSSIA.  THE BREAK-UP OF THE SOVIET UNION IS A 

MYTH.  SOONER OR LATER RUSSIA WILL INVADE ISRAEL AFTER THE 

SPOIL OF THE MIDDLE EAST OIL.   GOG AND MEGOG REFER TO THE 

NORTHERN BARBAROUS SONS OF JAPHETH.  SOME HAVE THOUGHT GOG 

REFERS TO A NAME OF ANTICHRIST BUT IT SIMPLY REFERS TO 

RUSSIA.  SOME HAVE SAID MESHECH IS AN ANCIENT NAME OF 

MOSCOW AND TUBAL IS AN ANCIENT NAME OF TUBALSK.





Ezekiel 38:10-12  PG 1128

Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, 

[that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind, 

and thou shalt think an evil thought:

And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled 

villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell 

safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having 

neither bars nor gates,

To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand 

upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and 

upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, 

which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the 

midst of the land.

I REMEMBER WRITING PAPERS WHICH WERE GRADED FOR SPELLING 

MISTAKES WITH THE ABBREVIATION SP.  WHAT IS THE SPOIL THAT 

RUSSIA WILL INVADE ISRAEL TO OBTAIN?  SP. OIL, IT IS THE 

OIL OF THE MIDDLE EAST.  CONTROL OF THE MIDDLE EAST OIL 

MEANS CONTROL OF THE INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS.  RUSSIA WILL 

PROBABLY WAIT FOR CHAOS, COLLAPSE, OR DESTRUCTION OF THE 

U.S.A. BEFORE ATTACKING ISRAEL.  THIS IS ALL THE MORE 

REASON TO BE SURE YOU ARE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD.  THE 

UNITED STATES COULD GO UP IN THE SMOKE OF A PREEMPTIVE 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK AT ANY TIME.  FOR THE CHRISTIAN 

IN RIGHT STANDING WITH THE LORD THE EFFECT OF THE RAPTURE 

AND A NUCLEAR BLAST IS IDENTICAL - INSTANTLY WITH THE 

LORD.  THE SITUATION SHOULD HELP US KEEP OUR PRIORITIES IN 

LINE.  ARE YOUR LOVED ONES SAVED AND WALKING WITH THE 

LORD?  DO YOU LOVE YOUR SITUATION IN THIS WORLD SO MUCH 

THAT YOU ARE MISERABLE WHEN YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF A 

STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK?  WE NEED TO BREAK UP OUR FALLOW 

GROUND AND PULL ALL THE STOPS IN OUR EFFORT TO SPREAD THE 

GOOD NEWS AND HOPE OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.



Ezekiel 38:14-16   PG 1128 - 1129

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus 

saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel 

dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know [it]?

And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, 

thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon 

horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a 

cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, 

and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen 

may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, 

before their eyes.

GOD WAS GLORIFIED WHEN PHARAOH HARDENED HIS HEART.  GOD 

DEMONSTRATED HIS POWER TO THE WORLD AS HE PLAGUED EGYPT TO 

DELIVER ISRAEL,  IT WILL BE THE SAME THING AS GOD HIMSELF 

DESTROYS THE INVADING RUSSIAN ARMIES.  IN THE LATTER DAYS 

GOD WILL DEMONSTRATE HIS MIGHTY POWER TO THE WORLD BY 

DESTROYING THE RUSSIAN ARMY TO DELIVER ISRAEL.



Ezekiel 38:18-23  PG 1129

And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall 

come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, 

[that] my fury shall come up in my face.

For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I 

spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking 

in the land of Israel;

So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the 

heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping 

things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that 

[are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my 

presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the 

steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the 

ground.

And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my 

mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be 

against his brother.

And I will plead against him with pestilence and with 

blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and 

upon the many people that [are] with him, an overflowing 

rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I 

will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall 

know that I [am] the LORD.

GOD TELLS US HERE HOW HE IS GOING TO DESTROY THE INVADING 

RUSSIAN ARMIES.  THERE WILL BE A GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN 

ISRAEL WHILE RUSSIA IS INVADING.  MUCH OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY 

WILL BE DESTROYED BY THIS EARTHQUAKE.  THE RUSSIAN TROOPS 

WILL ALSO KILL EACH OTHER AND TURN THEIR WEAPONS UPON 

THEMSELVES MUCH LIKE THE VICTORY WHICH GOD GAVE GIDEON 

OVER THE MIDIANITES.  GOD WILL ALSO STRIKE THIS MASSIVE 

INVADING RUSSIAN ARMY WITH PESTILENCE.  GREAT HAILSTORMS 

AND FIRE AND BRIMSTONE DESTRUCTION SIMILAR TO THE 

DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GAMORAH.  OF ALL OF THE SOLDIERS 

OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE OVER 83% WILL DIE IN THIS ATTACK OF 

ISRAEL.  GOD WILL DO IT HIMSELF AND ISRAEL MAY NOT EVEN 

FIRE A SHOT.  MANY NATIONS WILL THEN HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE 

GOD OF ISRAEL AS THE ONE TRUE MIGHTY GOD OF ALL.



Ezekiel 39:1-2  PG 1129

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O 

Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of 

thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, 

and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

HAS ANY ARMY IN MODERN HISTORY EVER SEEN 83% OF ALL THIER 

SOLDIERS KILLED AT ONE TIME?



Ezekiel 39:4-8  PG 1129

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and 

all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will 

give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] 

the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken 

[it], saith the Lord GOD.

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell 

carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] 

the LORD.

So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my 

people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy 

name any more: and the heathen shall know that I [am] the 

LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; 

this [is] the day whereof I have spoken.

ALL THE WORLD WILL FEAR THE GOD OF ISRAEL WHEN GOD 

FINISHES WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.



Ezekiel 39:10-17  PG 1129 - 1130

So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither 

cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the 

weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled 

them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give 

unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of 

the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop 

the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury 

Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The 

valley of Hamon-gog.

And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of 

them, that they may cleanse the land.

Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and it 

shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be 

glorified, saith the Lord GOD.

And they shall sever out men of continual employment, 

passing through the land to bury with the passengers those 

that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: 

after the end of seven months shall they search.

And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when 

[any] seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by 

it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of 

Hamon-gog.

And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus 

shall they cleanse the land.

And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto 

every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, 

Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every 

side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, [even] a 

great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may 

eat flesh, and drink blood.

HAMON SIMPLY MEANS MULTITUDE.  THIS DESTRUCTION IS GOING 

TO BE SO MASSIVE THAT IT WILL TAKE 7 MONTHS TO BURY ALL 

THE DEAD SOLDIERS IN MASS GRAVES.  PEOPLE WILL BE 

PERMANENTLY EMPLOYED IN THE CLEANUP OF THE CARNAGE OF THIS 

DESTRUCTION.  ALL THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO KNOW THE GOD OF 

ISRAEL IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD.  SOME, WITH GOOD REASON 

BELIEVE THIS IS THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, IT IS MORE 

LIKELY THAT THIS DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA PROVIDES THE POWER 

VACUUM FROM WHICH ANTICHRIST COMES TO FULL POWER AND 

CONTROL.  NO MENTION IS MADE OF THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE 

200,000,000 MAN ARMY OF THE KINGS OF THE EAST.  THE MORE 

LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT RUSSIA TAKES OUT THE U.S.A. WITH A 

PREEMPTIVE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ATTACK AND THEN FOLLOWS WITH 

THIS ATTACK OF ISRAEL.  WHEN GOD DESTROYS THEM THEN THE 

POWER VACUUM LEFT BY THE DESTRUCTION OF BOTH THE U.S.A. BY 

RUSSIA AND THE DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA BY GOD HIMSELF LEAVES 

THE POWER VACUUM WHICH ANTICHRIST OUT OF THE REVIVED ROMAN 

EMPIRE TAKES FULL CONTROL.



Ezekiel 39:21-23  PG 1130

And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the 

heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my 

hand that I have laid upon them.

So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD 

their God from that day and forward.

And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went 

into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed 

against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave 

them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by 

the sword.

AT THIS TIME ISRAEL WILL KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.



Ezekiel 39:25  PG 1130

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again 

the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole 

house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

THROUGH ALL OF THE JUDGMENTS AND TRIALS OF ISRAEL THEY 

HAVE NEVER BEEN FORSAKEN BY GOD.  GOD AT THIS TIME WILL BE 

REVELING HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH THE NATION OF 

ISRAEL.



Ezekiel 39:27-29   PG 1130

When I have brought them again from the people, and 

gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am 

sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, which 

caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: 

but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have 

left none of them any more there.

Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have 

poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the 

Lord GOD.

AT THIS TIME ISRAEL WILL BE LEADING THE CHURCH OF JESUS 

CHRIST.  THEY WILL ALL KNOW MESSIAH JESUS AND HAVE BEEN 

FILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.









SEP 3   EZEKIEL 32 - 33                  PG 1130 - 1134



Ezekiel 33:1-6   PG 1133

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say 

unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the 

people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him 

for their watchman:

If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the 

trumpet, and warn the people;

Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and 

taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, 

his blood shall be upon his own head.

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; 

his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning 

shall deliver his soul.

But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the 

trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, 

and take [any] person from among them, he is taken away in 

his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the 

watchman's hand.

MEN, ALL FATHERS ARE APPOINTED WATCHMEN FOR THEIR 

FAMILIES.  ARE YOU THE SPIRITUAL LEADER AND FAITHFUL 

WATCHMAN THAT YOU SHOULD BE?  HAVE YOU ABDICATED THE 

SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP OF YOUR FAMILY TO YOUR WIFE.  WOMEN, 

HAVE YOU EVER REBELLED AGAINST THE LEADERSHIP OF YOU 

HUSBAND?  DO YOU SUPPORT OR DO YOU CHALLENGE YOU HUSBAND'S 

LEADERSHIP?  Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will 

greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow 

thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] 

to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.   ALL MEN AND 

WOMEN WILL CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE RESULTS OF THIS 

CURSE UNTIL THE LORD RETURNS.   WE ALL NEED TO SEEK THE 

LORD'S HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE.  MEN MUST BE SUCH 

LOVING AND GIVING LEADERS THAT THEIR WIFE IS NOT TEMPTED 

TO REBEL AGAINST HIS LEADERSHIP.  THE WOMAN'S DESIRE IS TO 

BE THE LEADER.  THE MAN MUST BE SO LOVING THAT THE WOMAN 

CAN PRAISE GOD FOR THE MAN'S LEADERSHIP AND NOT BE TEMPTED 

TO TAKE CONTROL OR REBEL.



Ezekiel 33:7-9  PG 1133

So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the 

house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my 

mouth, and warn them from me.

When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt 

surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from 

his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but 

his blood will I require at thine hand.

Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn 

from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in 

his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

WHAT A TREMENDOUS HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY THIS IS FOR EVERY 

PASTOR.  HE IS GOD'S APPOINTED WATCHMAN FOR THE SAFETY OF 

THE FLOCK.  WHEN YOU COME UNDER CONVICTION REGARDING SOME 

SIN IN YOUR LIFE, OFTEN YOU WILL BE LED TO DISCUSS THE 

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PASTOR.  WHAT IF YOUR PASTOR TELLS YOU 

THAT IT IS NOT SO BAD.  "DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF - 

EVERYBODY DOES THAT."  IF HE WERE TO TELL YOU SUCH THINGS 

HE WOULD NOT BE A FAITHFUL WATCHMAN.  IT WOULD BE MUCH 

EASIER FOR HIM TO HELP YOU MAKE EXCUSES FOR YOUR SINS.  IN 

THE LAST DAYS MOST PREACHERS WILL PREACH EXCUSES FOR SIN 

RATHER THAN REPENTANCE.  YOUR PASTOR MUST PREACH 

REPENTANCE AND NOT EXCUSES FOR SIN.  OTHERWISE HE WILL 

SHARE IN THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR SINS.  THE WAGES OF SIN 

IS DEATH.  WE MUST UNDERSTAND AND EXPECT THAT OUR PASTOR 

HAS A HEAVY RESPONSIBLY FROM GOD TO WARN US OF THE 

CONSEQUENCES OF OUR SINS AND NOT EXCUSE OR IGNORE THEM.  

YOUR PASTOR CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.  HE 

MUST TELL YOU THE TRUTH THAT YOU NEED TO HEAR.  IF YOU 

HAVE A HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE PREACHER PRAISE GOD AND 

PRAY FOR HIM, AND SUPPORT HIM.



Ezekiel 33:11-16  PG 1133 - 1134

Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no 

pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked 

turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your 

evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy 

people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not 

deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the 

wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the 

day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the 

righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the 

day that he sinneth.

When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely 

live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit 

iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; 

but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die 

for it.

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; 

if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and 

right;

[If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had 

robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing 

iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned 

unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he 

shall surely live.

THERE IS NO STANDING STILL IN THE WALK WITH GOD.  YOU 

EITHER WALK WITH HIM OR AWAY FROM HIM.  WE ARE SAVED BY 

GRACE.  NO ONE CAN TAKE US OUT OF THE LORD'S HAND.  

HOWEVER, WE CAN STILL JUMP OUT IF WE WANT.  WE NEVER LOOSE 

OUR FREE WILL.  EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY TO WALK GOD'S WAY 

OR MY WAY.  ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FILTHY RAGS TO 

GOD.  SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.  EVERY 

GOOD THING THAT YOU DO IS WITHOUT ETERNAL VALUE IF IT IS 

NOT DONE STRICTLY TO GLORIFY GOD.  IT IS JUST SEMANTICS TO 

SAY "HE BACKSLID" OR "HE PROBABLY WAS NOT REALLY SAVED IN 

THE FIRST PLACE."  THE DIRECTION WE ARE GOING MEANS 

EVERYTHING.  ARE WE TRYING TO SERVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART 

OR ARE WE MORE CONCERNED WITH OUR OWN GLORY, OUR OWN 

PLANS, OUR OWN PRIORITIES.  THERE IS NO STANDING STILL IN 

THE WALK WITH GOD.  THE DIRECTION IS ALL IMPORTANT.  AM I 

WALKING TOWARD GOD OR AWAY FROM HIM?  AM I WALKING IN 

OBEDIENCE OR REBELLION.



Ezekiel 33:20    PG 1134

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house 

of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

SOME THINK THAT IT IS NOT FAIR THAT ETERNAL LIFE OR 

ETERNAL DEATH IS DETERMINED BY WHETHER OR NOT YOU ACCEPT 

JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR.  YET GOD IS GOD.  GOD MAKES THE 

RULES.  THE TRUTH IS THAT WE ALL ARE SINNERS AND ALL 

DESERVE TO GO TO HELL.  GOD IS SO MUCH MORE THAN FAIR IT 

IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES.  HE PAID A PRICE FOR US 

THAT WE COULD NEVER PAY OURSELF.  IF WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT 

HIS GRACIOUS PAYMENT OF THE RANSOM THAT WE CANNOT PAY 

OURSELF WE WILL GO TO HELL.









SEP 4   DANIEL 3                         PG 1134 - 1136



Daniel 3:1 PG 1134

Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose 

height [was] threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof 

six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the 

province of Babylon.

RECALL THE DREAM GOD GAVE TO NEBUCHADNEZZAR THAT ONLY 

DANIEL WAS ABLE TO INTERPRET.  KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS THE 

HEAD OF GOLD WHICH REPRESENTED THE FIRST AND GREATEST 

WORLD EMPIRE.  THE BREASTPLATE OF SILVER REPRESENTED THE 

EMPIRE OF THE MEDO-PERSIANS.  KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR MADE THE 

WHOLE IMAGE OF GOLD.  HE DID NOT WANT ANY OF THE OTHER 

EMPIRES OF THE IMAGE TO SUCCEED HIS EMPIRE.  HE WANTED HIS 

GOLDEN BABYLONIAN EMPIRE TO LAST FOREVER.  BY NOW DANIEL 

HELD THE HIGHEST POSITION IN THE EMPIRE AND HIS FRIENDS 

SHADRACH, MESHECH, AND ABED-NEGO HAD HIGH POSITIONS AS 

WELL.  NO DOUBT MANY BABYLONIAN NOBLES WERE JEALOUS OF THE 

HIGH POSITIONS WHICH THESE JEWS HAD IN THE EMPIRE.  

WORSHIPING THE GOLDEN IMAGE OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS A 

LOYALTY OATH.  THE BABYLONIAN NOBLES KNEW THE JEWS COULD 

NOT GO ALONG WITH THIS TYPE OF LOYALTY OATH AND IT WAS A 

SLICK WAY FOR THEM TO GET RID OF THESE JEWS WHO WERE 

HOLDING COVETED POSITIONS IN THE EMPIRE.  IT WAS EASY FOR 

THEM TO GET NEBUCHADNEZZAR TO IMPOSE THE DEATH PENALTY FOR 

NOT GOING ALONG WITH THE LOYALTY OATH BECAUSE 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR SAW IT AS A WAY TO HELP KEEP THE PEACE IN 

THE EMPIRE AND PERHAPS BE A WAY TO QUELL POSSIBLE 

INSURRECTION AND REBELLION.



Daniel 3:2-3  PG 1134

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the 

princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the 

treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the 

rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the 

image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, 

the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the 

rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the 

dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had 

set up; and they stood before the image that 

Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

ALL OF THE RULERS FROM ALL OVER THE EMPIRE WERE BROUGHT IN 

FOR THE DEDICATION OF THE IMAGE AND TO WORSHIP IT AND TO 

PLEDGE THEIR LOYALTY TO THE KING.



Daniel 3:4-6   PG 1134

Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O 

people, nations, and languages,

[That] at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, 

flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of 

music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that 

Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:

And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same 

hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

THE DEATH PENALTY WAS ON ANYONE WHO WOULD NOT PROVE THEIR 

LOYALTY TO THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OF KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR.

LOOK FOR THIS SAME SORT OF WORSHIP OF THE IMAGE OF THE 

ANTICHRIST TO HAVE A DEATH PENALTY TIED TO IT.  JEWS AND 

CHRISTIANS WILL BE THE TARGET THEN AS IT WAS WHEN BABYLON 

RULED THE WORLD.



Daniel 3:12   PG 1135

There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs 

of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and 

Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they 

serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which 

thou hast set up.

THE BABYLONIAN ASTROLOGERS WERE QUICK TO SEIZE THE 

OPPORTUNITY TO GET RID OF THE JEWS WHO WERE HOLING COVETED 

POSITIONS IN THE EMPIRE.   IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN YOU NEED 

TO EXPECT THIS SAME TYPE OF TREATMENT AT THE HANDS OF YOUR 

PEERS IN THE WORKPLACE.



Daniel 3:14-15   PG 1135

Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, [Is it] true, O 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, 

nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of 

the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, 

and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image 

which I have made; [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall 

be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery 

furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you out 

of my hands?

HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER THE MOST POWERFUL KING IN THE WORLD?  

WE NEED TO MEDITATE ON EXACTLY HOW THESE MEN ANSWERED THE 

KING.



Daniel 3:16  PG 1135

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the 

king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer 

thee in this matter.

FIRST OF ALL THEY DID NOT HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.  THEIR 

ANSWER WAS IMMEDIATE.  WOULD I BE ABLE TO ANSWER SUCH A 

QUESTION OF LIFE OR DEATH SO READILY WITHOUT HAVING TO 

THINK ABOUT IT AT ALL?  MEDITATE ON THEIR PERFECT ANSWER.



Daniel 3:17-18  PG 1135

If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us 

from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] 

out of thine hand, O king.

But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will 

not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which 

thou hast set up.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT THAT OUR GOD IS ABLE TO 

DELIVER US OUT OF THIS SITUATION.  MY GOD IS MORE THAN 

ABLE TO DELIVER US FROM ANY DIFFICULTY.  AND HE WILL 

DELIVER.  NOW WE SEE THE GREAT FAITH OF THESE MEN.  OUR 

GOD WILL DELIVER US.  THEY DID NOT ONLY KNOW THAT GOD WAS 

ABLE BUT THEIR FAITH TOLD THEM THAT GOD WOULD DELIVER 

THEM.  HOW MANY BLESSINGS DO WE MISS BECAUSE WE FAIL TO 

BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL DELIVER US?  BUT IF GOD DOESN'T SAVE 

US WE STILL WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WE CERTAINLY WOULD 

RATHER DIE THAN TO DISOBEY OUR GOD.  THEY STILL WERE 

LETTING GOD BE GOD.  THEY WERE NOT DEMANDING OR COMMANDING 

GOD TO DELIVER THEM.  THEY HAD TOTAL CONFIDENCE THAT GOD 

WOULD DELIVER THEM BUT THEY WERE TOTALLY COMMITTED TO 

GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY.  THEY WERE TOTALLY WILLING TO DIE 

RATHER THAN TO DISOBEY GOD.  THEY WOULD OBEY GOD RATHER 

THAN TO TRY TO SAVE THEIR LIVES BY OBEYING THE KING.  

WOULD I BE THIS BRAVE WHEN MY LIFE IS ON THE LINE?



Daniel 3:19-22  PG 1135

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his 

visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and 

Abed-nego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they 

should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was 

wont to be heated.

And he commanded the most mighty men that [were] in his 

army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to 

cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.

Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and 

their hats, and their [other] garments, and were cast into 

the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and 

the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew 

those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.

THE KING WAS FURIOUS.  HE COMMANDED THE FURNACE TO BE MADE 

SEVEN TIMES HOTTER THAN IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE.  THE KINGS 

MEN WERE SO NERVOUS OVER HIS FURY THAT THE MEN WHO WERE 

STOKING THE FURNACE WERE KILLED BY THE FLAMES.



Daniel 3:23-25  PG 1135

And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 

fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery 

furnace.

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in 

haste, [and] spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not 

we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They 

answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in 

the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form 

of the fourth is like the Son of God.

THE FURIOUS KING KNEW WHO WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FURNACE 

WITH SHADRACK, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO.  THE KING SAID THAT 

HE WAS LIKE THE SON OF GOD.  HE WAS RIGHT.  THAT IS 

EXACTLY WHO IT WAS.  JESUS HIMSELF WAS RIGHT THERE IN THE 

MIDDLE OF THE FIRE WITH SHADRACK, MESHACH, AND ABED-NEGO.  

WHAT TREMENDOUS ENCOURAGEMENT THERE IS HERE FOR US.  WHEN 

WE ARE IN TRIBULATION JESUS, IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS HOLY 

SPIRIT PROMISES TO BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR 

TRIBULATION.  IF GOD IS WITH US, WHAT SHOULD WE FEAR?  IF 

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE ANTICHRIST THREATENS TO KILL YOU IF 

YOU WILL NOT WORSHIP HIS IMAGE WILL WE BE LIKE THESE MEN.  

WILL WE BE STRONG, COURAGEOUS, AND FAITHFUL IN 

TRIBULATION?



Daniel 3:26-29   PG 1135   Then Nebuchadnezzar came near 

to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, [and] spake, 

and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of 

the most high God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst 

of the fire.

And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's 

counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon 

whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of 

their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor 

the smell of fire had passed on them.

[Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed [be] the 

God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his 

angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and 

have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, 

that they might not serve nor worship any god, except 

their own God.

Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and 

language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of 

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, 

and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there 

is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

CAN YOU SEE HOW GOD WAS PROTECTING HIS PEOPLE.   THE JEWS  

HAD BEEN TAKEN CAPTIVE AND WERE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE 

WORLD.  THEY WERE NO DOUBT BEING PERSECUTED FOR THEIR 

PECULIAR CULTURE, SABBATH WORSHIP, AND DIET.  THE KING'S 

DECREE GAVE THEM PROTECTION AND TOTAL FREEDOM TO BE 

OBEDIENT AND OPENLY WORSHIP GOD.   THE REPRISALS WERE 

ENDED FOR THEM.



Daniel 3:30  Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and 

Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.

WHAT A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR THE LORD HAS.  HOW DO YOU 

THINK THE BABYLONIAN ASTROLOGERS LIKED IT WHEN THE FIERY 

FURNACE MEN GOT PROMOTED?







SEP 5   EZEKIEL 40 - 43                  PG 1137 - 1143



Ezekiel 40:2   PG 1137

In the visions of God brought he me into the land of 

Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which 

[was] as the frame of a city on the south.

GOD TRANSLATED EZEKIEL IN THE SPIRIT BACK TO ISRAEL.



Ezekiel 40:39    PG 1138

And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this 

side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the 

burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass 

offering.

HE COULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE HERE 

BECAUSE OF THE SIN AND TRESPASS OFFERINGS.  IN THE WORSHIP 

OF THE MILLENNIUM EVERYONE WILL HAVE COME TO KNOW OF THE 

ONCE FOR ALL PERFECT SACRIFICE OF JESUS ON CALVARY AS THE 

ALL SUFFICIENT SACRIFICE FOR SINS.  SINCE THE TEMPLE IS SO 

MUCH BIGGER THAN THE TEMPLE WHICH ZERUBBABEL BUILT IT IS 

HARD TO UNDERSTAND OTHER THAN THESE DESCRIPTIONS COULD 

POSSIBLY REFER TO 3 DIFFERENT TEMPLES.  THE ONE ZERUBBABLE 

BUILT, THE ONE THE JEWS ARE PREPARING TO BUILD RIGHT NOW, 

AND THEN SOME REFERENCES MAY REFER TO THE WORSHIP OF THE 

LORD AFTER HIS RETURN IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY.



Ezekiel 43:4-7  PG 1141

And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way 

of the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east.

So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner 

court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the 

house.

And I heard [him] speaking unto me out of the house; and 

the man stood by me.

And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, 

and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell 

in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my 

holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, 

[neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by 

the carcases of their kings in their high places.

THE GLORY OF THE LORD RETURNED TO THE TEMPLE.  WHICH 

TEMPLES DO WE KNOW FOR SURE HAD THE GLORY OF THE LORD?  

DID THE ONE THAT ZERUBBABLE CONSTRUCTED HAVE IT?  WILL THE 

ONE THE JEWS ARE NOW PREPARING IN ISRAEL HAVE IT?  SURELY 

THE MILLENNIUM WORSHIP WILL BE FULL OF THE GLORY OF THE  

LORD.  IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW FOR CERTAIN PERHAPS BECAUSE 

HE IS REFERRING TO ALL 3 TEMPLES.









SEP 6   EZEKIEL 44 - 48                  PG 1143 - 1150





Ezekiel 44:9  PG 1143

Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in 

heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my 

sanctuary, of any stranger that [is] among the children of 

Israel.

NO ONE WHO HAS NOT HAD THEIR WICKED HEART CHANGED MAY 

ENTER INTO THE MILLENNIAL SANCTUARY OF GOD.  UNLESS WE ARE 

BORN AGAIN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD AND RECEIVE THE GIFT 

OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM JESUS CHRIST WE WILL BE EXCLUDED 

FROM GOD FOR ALL ETERNITY.



Ezekiel 44:24   PG 1144

And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and] 

they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they 

shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; 

and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS WERE 

NOT TO GO TO THE CIVIL COURTS FOR THE SETTLEMENTS OF THEIR 

DISAGREEMENTS.  THEY WERE TO GO TO THE PRIESTS OR PASTORS 

FOR JUDGMENT IN THEIR DISPUTES.  IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT 

THE FIRST PROFESSION TO BE ELIMINATED WHEN THE LORD 

RETURNS WILL BE THE LAWYERS.



Ezekiel 44:28   PG 1144

And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am] their 

inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in 

Israel: I [am] their possession.

THE LEVITES GOT NO INHERITANCE IN THE LAND BUT THEY GOT 

THE BEST DEAL.  THE LORD WAS THEIR INHERITANCE.  THAT DEAL 

IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF US UNDER THE NEW COVENANT.  JESUS 

CHRIST IS THE BEST POSSIBLE ANSWER TO THE BONDAGE AND 

SLAVERY OF MATERIALISM.



Ezekiel 45:9-12  PG 1144 - 1145

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of 

Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment 

and justice, take away your exactions from my people, 

saith the Lord GOD.

Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just 

bath.

The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the 

bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah 

the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be 

after the homer.

And the shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, 

five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your 

maneh.

CHEATING IS AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD.  GOD WANTS US TO 

BE HONEST AND FAIR IN ALL OF OUR BUSINESS DEALINGS.



Ezekiel 47:6-12  PG 1147

And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]? 

Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink 

of the river.

Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river 

[were] very many trees on the one side and on the other.

Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the 

east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the 

sea: [which being] brought forth into the sea, the waters 

shall be healed.

And it shall come to pass, [that] every thing that liveth, 

which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall 

live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, 

because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be 

healed; and every thing shall live whither the river 

cometh.

And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall stand 

upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a 

[place] to spread forth nets; their fish shall be 

according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, 

exceeding many.

But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall 

not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and 

on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf 

shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be 

consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his 

months, because their waters they issued out of the 

sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and 

the leaf thereof for medicine.

WE GET A MUCH CLEARER PICTURE OF THIS FANTASTIC RIVER AND 

TREES FOR FOOD AND HEALING IN Revelation 22:1-7 And he 

shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of 

the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve 

[manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the 

nations.

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God 

and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall 

serve him:

And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in 

their foreheads.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no 

candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth 

them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and 

true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel 

to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be 

done.

Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth the 

sayings of the prophecy of this book.

IT IS SO FANTASTIC TO SEE HOW THE WHOLE 66 BOOKS OF THE 

BIBLE FIT TOGETHER.  THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY 40 DIFFERENT 

WRITERS SPANNING OVER 2000 YEARS WITH SUCH AMAZING 

AGREEMENT ONLY BEING POSSIBLE BECAUSE GOD INSPIRED AND 

REVEALED WHAT THEY WERE TO RECORD FOR US - GOD'S TRUTH.  

THE LAWS OF SIMPLE AND COMPOUND PROBABILITY OF ANY 

INDIVIDUAL EVER BEING ABLE TO FULFILL THE 333 SPECIFIC 

PROPHECIES WHICH JESUS CHRIST FULFILLED IS ONE IN 

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

00,000,000,000.  ONLY GOD COULD HANDLE ODDS LIKE THAT.

HOW COULD AN INTELLECTUALLY HONEST PERSON EVER READ THE 

ENTIRE BIBLE AND NOT BE A BELIEVER.  THE PROBLEM IS THAT 

SO FEW EVER ACTUALLY DO READ AND STUDY THE WHOLE BIBLE FOR 

THEMSELVES.  FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE 

WORD OF GOD.  MOST PEOPLE REJECT THE BIBLE BECAUSE THEY 

CANNOT STAND THE LIGHT OF GOD'S TRUTH SHINING INTO THEIR 

LIVES.  YET HOW COULD ANYONE CLAIM TO BE WELL EDUCATED 

WITHOUT HAVING READ THE MOST REMARKABLE LITERARY 

COMPOSITION EVER MADE?  THE APOSTLE PAUL PROBABLY 

EXPLAINED IT BEST IN Romans 1:16-32 For I am not ashamed 

of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto 

salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, 

and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from 

faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by 

faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all 

ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth 

in unrighteousness;

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in 

them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the 

world are clearly seen, being understood by the things 

that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so 

that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not 

as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their 

imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an 

image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and 

fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the 

lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies 

between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped 

and served the creature more than the Creator, who is 

blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for 

even their women did change the natural use into that 

which is against nature:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the 

woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with 

men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in 

themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] 

knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do 

those things which are not convenient;

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, 

wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, 

murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, 

inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural 

affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit 

such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but 

have pleasure in them that do them.



Ezekiel 48:35  PG 1150

...... and the name of the city from [that] day [shall 

be], The LORD [is] there.

THE ANCIENT CITY OF DAVID, JERUSALEM, IS FIXING TO GET A 

NEW NAME WHEN JESUS RETURNS TO SET UP HIS MILLENNIAL 

KINGDOM.  "THE LORD IS THERE"









SEPT 7   DANIEL 4     EZEKIEL 29          PG 1150 - 1154



Ezekiel 29:18-21  PG 1150

Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army 

to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] 

made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no 

wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he 

had served against it:

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the 

land of Egypt unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he 

shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her 

prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour 

wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for 

me, saith the Lord GOD.

In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel 

to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the 

mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I 

[am] the LORD.

HERE IS A GOOD PASSAGE TO READ IF YOU ARE EVER WONDERING 

IF GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL.  HISTORY TRULY IS HIS STORY.



Daniel 4:1-9  PG 1152

Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and 

languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be 

multiplied unto you.

I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the 

high God hath wrought toward me.

How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his 

wonders! his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his 

dominion [is] from generation to generation.

I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon 

my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise [men] 

of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me 

the interpretation of the dream.

Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the 

Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream 

before them; but they did not make known unto me the 

interpretation thereof.

But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] 

Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom 

[is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told 

the dream, [saying],

O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know 

that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no 

secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream 

that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR IS DOING THE TALKING DANIEL IS JUST DOING 

THE WRITING.  THE KING HAS INDEED COME TO KNOW THE TRUE 

GOD AND HE IS TELLING THE WORLD ABOUT HIM.



Daniel 4:13-37  PG 1152-1153

I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, 

a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;

He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut 

off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his 

fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the 

fowls from his branches:

Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, 

even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of 

the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and 

[let] his portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the 

earth:

Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's 

heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over 

him.

This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the 

demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that 

the living may know that the most High ruleth in the 

kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and 

setteth up over it the basest of men.

Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonied 

for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king 

spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the 

interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar 

answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that 

hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine 

enemies.

The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, 

whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight 

thereof to all the earth;

Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much, and 

in it [was] meat for all; under which the beasts of the 

field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the 

heaven had their habitation:

It [is] thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: 

for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and 

thy dominion to the end of the earth.

And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming 

down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and 

destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in 

the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the 

tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew 

of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts of 

the field, till seven times pass over him;

This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the 

decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the 

king:

That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling 

shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make 

thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with 

the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, 

till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of 

men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree 

roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that 

thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, 

and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine 

iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a 

lengthening of thy tranquillity.

At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the 

kingdom of Babylon.

The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that 

I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of 

my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a 

voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to 

thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling 

[shall be] with the beasts of the field: they shall make 

thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over 

thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the 

kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: 

and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and 

his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs 

were grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like 

birds' [claws].

And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine 

eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, 

and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured 

him that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an 

everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation 

to generation:

And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as 

nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of 

heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none 

can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the 

glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned 

unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; 

and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty 

was added unto me.

Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King 

of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways 

judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to 

abase.

DOES KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR HUMBLE HIMSELF AND GIVE GLORY TO 

GOD, OR WHAT?  REMEMBER THIS KING OF THE WORLD IS DOING 

THE TALKING AND DANIEL IS JUST DOING THE WRITING.  

FANTASTIC!



Jeremiah 52:31  And it came to pass in the seven and 

thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of 

Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth 

[day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon 

in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of 

Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of 

prison,



SEPT 8   JOB 1 - 3                        PG 1156 - 1158



Job 1:3   PG 1156

His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three 

thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five 

hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that 

this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

JOB WAS THE GREATEST AND WEALTHIEST MAN IN ALL OF THE 

EAST.  HIS INTEGRITY AND WEALTH WERE LEGENDARY.



Job 1:5    PG 1156

And it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were gone 

about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up 

early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings 

[according] to the number of them all: for Job said, It 

may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their 

hearts. Thus did Job continually.

BECAUSE OF THEIR GREAT WEALTH JOB'S 7 SONS AND 3 DAUGHTERS 

WOULD PARTY ON A REGULAR BASIS .  AFTER THEIR PARTIES JOB 

WOULD OFFER SACRIFICES ON THEIR BEHALF IN CASE THEY MAY 

HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF CURSING GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.  WHAT 

DOES IT MEAN TO CURSE GOD IN YOUR HEART?



Job 1:6-12  PG 1156 - 1157

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present 

themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among 

them.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then 

Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro 

in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my 

servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a 

perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and 

escheweth evil?

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God 

for nought?

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his 

house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast 

blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is 

increased in the land.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, 

and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath 

[is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine 

hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

HERE WE SEE PERHAPS THE MOST PROFOUND EXPLANATION FOR 

SUFFERING THAT EXISTS THIS SIDE OF GLORY.  SATAN STOLE 

DOMINION OF THIS PLANET FROM MANKIND WHEN HE GOT ADAM AND 

EVE TO DISOBEY GOD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.  HE HAS 

CONTINUED TO TRY TO GET THE FAITHFUL ANGELS TO REBEL 

AGAINST GOD.  HE HAS BEEN VERY GOOD AT DESTROYING MEN 

BECAUSE AS CHILDREN OF ADAM, EVERYONE IS BORN WITH A 

NATURAL BIAS AND INCLINATION TO SIN.  HE IS STILL IN 

HEAVEN TODAY AS THE ONE WHO ACCUSES ALL OF US OF OUR SINS 

BEFORE GOD.  THE FAITHFUL ANGELS WHO DO NOT HAVE THIS 

NATURAL INCLINATION TO SIN, HAVE GOT TO BE AMAZED AT GOD'S 

PATIENCE AND MERCY BY THIS TIME.  GOD WOULD HAVE BEEN 

TOTALLY JUSTIFIED IN ANNIHILATING SATAN THOUSANDS OF YEARS 

AGO.  SATAN IS THE SOURCE OF ALL SUFFERING.  WE ALSO SEE 

THAT THERE IS A PURPOSE FOR SUFFERING WHICH WE WILL NOT BE 

ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS SIDE OF GLORY.  WHEN SATAN WAS 

GOING TO AND FRO IN THE EARTH HE WAS TELLING GOD THAT 

GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION OF MANKIND WOULD NEVER WORK.  HE 

WAS TELLING GOD AND THE FAITHFUL ANGELS THAT HIS 

LEADERSHIP OF REBELLION OF ALL MANKIND AGAINST GOD WAS 

TOTALLY SUCCESSFUL IN THE EARTH.  HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET 

FAITHFUL ANGELS TO JOIN IN HIS REBELLION.  IF GOD HAD 

ANNIHILATED SATAN EARLY ON, THE FAITHFUL ANGELS WOULD 

ALWAYS HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT SOMEHOW MESSING UP AND BEING 

DESTROYED ON THE SPOT.  BY NOW THEY MUST BE TOTALLY AMAZED 

AT GOD'S INFINITE PATIENCE AND MERCY.  GOD LET SATAN KNOW 

HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION OF MANKIND AND PLANET EARTH COULD 

NOT BE DEFEATED.  HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB?  

THIS QUESTION NAILED SATAN IN HIS LIE.  ALL THE EARTH WAS 

NOT IN REBELLION UNDER SATAN AGAINST GOD.  THERE WOULD BE 

NO STOPPING OF GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION.  BY HIS PATIENCE 

IN SUFFERING, JOB WAS PARTICIPATING IN GOD'S PLAN OF 

REDEMPTION.  UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE TIME, JOB HAD NO WAY OF 

KNOWING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS SUFFERING ANY MORE THAN WE 

CAN UNDERSTAND IT ALL THIS SIDE OF GLORY.  ALL SUFFERING 

IS THE RESULT OF SIN.  IT IS NOT THE ONE WHO DID THE 

SINNING WHO DOES THE SUFFERING.  THIS UNFAIRNESS AND 

INJUSTICE CONTINUES BECAUSE SATAN STILL HAS FREEDOM TO DO 

HIS EVIL WORK ON EARTH.  THE THING WE KNOW FOR SURE IS 

THAT SATAN IS THE SOURCE OF THE SUFFERING.  HE IS THE 

FATHER OF LIES AND COMES ONLY FOR TO STEAL, KILL AND 

DESTROY.  GOD ONLY WANTS TO BLESS US.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE 

MANKIND IS NATURALLY SINFUL, THE BLESSINGS ARE CONTINGENT 

UPON OBEDIENCE TO GOD.  GOD WILL SOMETIMES DISCIPLINE US 

BECAUSE HE LOVES US.  WE ARE THE ONES WHO FORCE HIM TO 

DISCIPLINE US AND HIS PERFECT WILL IS ALWAYS TO BLESS OUR 

OBEDIENCE.  SATAN CAN ONLY DO WHAT GOD PERMITS HIM TO DO.  

GOD IS MORE THAN ABLE TO PROTECT US FROM ANY SATANIC 

ATTACK.  SUFFERING PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE 

SINS OF OTHERS.  WHEN WE SIN, WE GIVE SATAN A LICENCE TO 

ATTACK THOSE WHOM WE LOVE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OF FAITH.  

SATAN DOES NOT ATTACK THE ONE WHO IS GIVING HIM THE 

LICENCE TO PENETRATE THE HEDGE SURROUNDING OUR COMMUNITY 

OF FAITH.  IF WE WERE TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL CONSEQUENCES 

OF OUR SINS, AS IT RELATES TO THE SUFFERING WITHIN THE 

BODY OF CHRIST, WE WOULD BE MUCH LESS INCLINED TO SIN.



Job 1:20-21  PG 1155

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, 

and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked 

shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath 

taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.   ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND 

IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  FAITH IS 

BELIEF AND TRUST IN, AND LOYALTY TO SOMEONE.  IT IS OUR 

FAITH IN GOD THAT MAKES US RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE OF THE 

ABSOLUTE INTEGRITY OF OUR GOD.  OUR GOD MUST HAVE THE 

POWER AND INTEGRITY TO DECLARE US RIGHTEOUS.  HOW COULD MY 

GOD MAINTAIN HIS INTEGRITY AND DECLARE ME TO BE RIGHTEOUS?  

IT WOULD ONLY BE BY AGREEING TO PAY THE DEBT OF MY 

UNRIGHTEOUSNESS FOR ME.  MY GOD HAS PAID THE FULL PRICE 

REQUIRED TO COVER THE DEBT OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF EVERY 

HUMAN BEING.  MY GOD IS THE GOD IN WHOM JOB TRUSTED.  MANY 

PEOPLE HAVE FAITH IN, AND TRUST IN, AND ARE LOYAL ONLY TO 

THEMSELVES.  IN THIS SITUATION THEY HAVE TOTALLY BOUGHT 

INTO SATAN'S FUNDAMENTAL LIE THAT "YE SHALL BE AS GOD."   

ONLY GOD IS GOD.  WHO IS YOUR GOD?  IS YOUR GOD THE TRUE 

GOD?  CONSIDER THE FAITH OF JOB.  SATAN HAD JUST KILLED 

JOB'S 7 SONS AND 3 DAUGHTERS AND HAD DESTROYED EVERY 

POSSESSION THAT HE HAD.  HE KNEW THAT THIS COULD NOT HAVE 

HAPPENED IF HIS GOD DID NOT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.  IS IT AT 

ALL POSSIBLE FOR US TO IMAGINE OURSELF IN THE POSITION OF 

JOB HAVING LOST ALL OF OUR CHILDREN AND LOST EVERY EARTHLY 

POSSESSION?  IF ONE COULD POSSIBLY VISUALIZE JOB'S GRIEF 

AND LOSS, COULD ANYONE SAY BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE ONE 

WHO HAS ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN?  HERE IS FAITH IN GOD.  

HERE IS TRUST IN GOD.  HERE IS LOYALTY TO GOD.



Job 2:3-6  pg 1157

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my 

servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a 

perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and 

escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, 

although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him 

without cause.

And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, 

all that a man hath will he give for his life.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his 

flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he [is] in thine 

hand; but save his life.

SATAN SAID JOB WOULD NOT KEEP HIS FAITH IN GOD IF GOD 

ALLOWED SATAN TO AFFLICT HIS BODY WITH PAINFUL DISEASE.  

GOD ALLOWED IT BUT RESTRAINED SATAN FROM KILLING JOB.



Job 2:9  PG 1158

Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine 

integrity? curse God, and die.

IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS GRIEF AND PAIN HIS LOVING WIFE TELLS 

HIM TO CURSE GOD AND DIE.  WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?



Job 2:10   PG 1158

But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish 

women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of 

God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not 

Job sin with his lips.

IN ALL OF HIS GRIEF AND AFFLICTION JOB MAINTAINED HIS 

TRUST IN GOD.  HE PROVED THAT SATAN WAS A LIAR AND THAT 

THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO WOULD KEEP THEIR FAITH AND 

TRUST IN GOD REGARDLESS OF THE GRIEF AND SUFFERING WHICH 

THEY WOULD ENDURE.



Job 2:13   PG 1158

So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and 

seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw 

that [his] grief was very great.

THESE "FRIENDS OF JOB" WERE PUTTING ON A SHOW THAT THEY 

WANTED TO COMFORT THEIR FRIEND HOWEVER WHAT THEY REALLY 

WERE DOING IS GLOATING OVER HIS MISFORTUNE AND GIVING US 

AN EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT TO TRY TO COMFORT SOMEONE IN DEEP 

GRIEF AND SUFFERING.



Job 3:25   PG 1159

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and 

that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT SATAN'S BIG GUN IS FEAR.  THE 

PERFECT LOVE OF GOD CAN CAST OUT ALL OF OUR FEARS.  IF GOD 

IS FOR YOU - WHO CAN STAND AGAINST YOU.  THE WORST ANYONE 

CAN DO TO YOU IS KILL YOU.  IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL 

IMMEDIATELY BE WITH THE LORD, EVEN THE FEAR OF DEATH IS 

DISARMED.









SEPT 9   JOB 4 - 7                        PG 1159 - 1164



Job 5:17-27   PG 1161

Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore 

despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his 

hands make whole.

He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there 

shall no evil touch thee.

In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from 

the power of the sword.

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither 

shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt 

thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: 

and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [shall be] in 

peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not 

sin.

Thou shalt know also that thy seed [shall be] great, and 

thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a 

shock of corn cometh in in his season.

Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and 

know thou [it] for thy good.

JOB'S "FRIEND" ELIPHAZ DELIVERS SOME SOLID TRUTH HERE.  

THE PROBLEM IS THE HEART INTENT OF ELIPHAZ.  HE IS USING 

THIS TRUTH AS A CLUB ON JOB.  ALL OF JOB'S CHILDREN HAD 

BEEN KILLED.  ELEPHAZ TELLS JOB HIS REPENTANCE WILL CAUSE 

HIS CHILDREN TO BE MANY AND HIS GRANDCHILDREN TO NUMBER AS 

THE GRASS OF THE EARTH.  IT REALLY HAD TO HIT JOB HARD IN 

THE MIDDLE OF HIS GRIEF AND PAIN.



Job 6:10   PG 1162

Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself 

in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the 

words of the Holy One.

JOB COMES BACK AT ELEPHAZ AND LETS HIM KNOW THAT HE WAS 

MAINTAINING HIS INTEGRITY.









SEPT 10    JOB 8 - 10                     PG 1164 - 1168



Job 9:1-4  PG 1165

Then Job answered and said,

I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just 

with God?

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a 

thousand.

[He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath 

hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered?

JOB ANSWERED HIS "FRIEND" BILDAD WITH SOME GOOD QUESTIONS.

HOW CAN A MAN BE RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD?  IT IS ONLY BY 

TRUSTING GOD.  IT IS ONLY BY ALLOWING GOD TO PAY THE PRICE 

OF YOUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS FOR YOU.  THIS IS NOT A LICENCE TO 

BE UNRIGHTEOUS BUT IT IS THE ONLY HOPE ANYONE HAS TO STAND 

BEFORE GOD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.  NO ONE EVER WILL HAVE ENOUGH 

RIGHTEOUSNESS TO COVER THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.  MANY 

DECEIVE THEMSELVES WITH THIS LIE.  SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A 

LIE.  IN FACT, IT IS THE LIE.  IF GOD HIMSELF DOES NOT PAY 

THE PRICE OF YOUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS THAN YOU WILL NOT HAVE 

ANY HOPE OF TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS.  ALL YOU WILL HAVE IS THE 

LIE OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.











SEPT 11    JOB 11 - 14                    PG 1168 - 1173



Job 13:9   PG 1170

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man 

mocketh another, do ye [so] mock him?

JOB REALLY NAILS HIS "FRIEND" HERE - WOULD IT TURN OUT 

WELL IF GOD EXAMINED YOU?



Job 13:15-16  PG 1171

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will 

maintain mine own ways before him.

He also [shall be] my salvation: for an hypocrite shall 

not come before him.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?  THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I 

TRUST HIM.  THERE IS FAITH.  HE IS MY SALVATION.  NOW THE 

HEAVY HIT - AN HYPOCRITE SHALL NOT COME BEFORE HIM.



Job 14:14-17  PG 1172

If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my 

appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a 

desire to the work of thine hands.

For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over 

my sin?

My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest 

up mine iniquity.

IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH.  JOB REALLY COULDN'T KNOW FOR 

SURE BUT WE CAN.  DO YOU KNOW THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS 

CHRIST IS ONE OF THE BEST DOCUMENTED FACTS OF HISTORY?  

JOSH MCDOWELL HAS A FANTASTIC LITTLE BOOK TITLED "MORE 

THAN A CARPENTER."  EVERYONE SHOULD READ THAT LITTLE BOOK.









SEP 12    JOB 15 - 17                    PG 1173 - 1176



Job 16:1-5  PG 1174

Then Job answered and said,

I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] 

ye all.

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee 

that thou answerest?

I also could speak as ye [do]: if your soul were in my 

soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake 

mine head at you.

[But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving 

of my lips should asswage [your grief].

JOB PUTS ELIPHAZ IN HIS PLACE.  YOU ARE ALL MISERABLE 

COMFORTERS.  JOB LETS THEM KNOW HE WOULD BE BETTER OFF 

WITHOUT THEIR HYPOCRITICAL VAIN ATTEMPTS TO COMFORT HIM.  

JOB TELLS THEM IF THEY WERE IN HIS PLACE THAT INSTEAD OF 

HAMMERING ON THEM HE WOULD STRENGTHEN THEM AND TRY TO 

CONSOLE THEIR GRIEF.  JOB SEES RIGHT THROUGH THEIR 

HYPOCRISY.



Job 16:19-21  PG 1175

Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record 

[is] on high.

My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] 

unto God.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man 

[pleadeth] for his neighbour!

JOB'S TRUST IS ABSOLUTELY ON GOD.  HIS FRIENDS SCORN HIM 

RATHER THAN COMFORT HIM IN HIS GRIEF.  JOB KNEW THAT MEN 

NEED TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD.  HE KNEW THAT ALL 

MEN NEEDED AN INTERCESSOR WITH GOD.









SEP 13    JOB 18 - 21                    PG 1176 - 1182



Job 19:1-3   PG 1177

Then Job answered and said,

How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with 

words?

These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed 

[that] ye make yourselves strange to me.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE JOB HAD YOU SURE DON'T NEED ENEMIES.  WE 

NEED TO LEARN HOW TO COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE GRIEVING.  HOW 

WOULD YOU HAVE TRIED TO COMFORT JOB?   WHAT COULD YOU SAY 

TO SOMEONE WHO IS GRIEVING OVER A GREAT LOSS?





Job 19:17-20  PG 1178

My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for 

the children's [sake] of mine own body.

Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake 

against me.

All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved 

are turned against me.

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am 

escaped with the skin of my teeth.

JOB HAS LOST HIS 10 CHILDREN, ALL HIS MATERIAL POSSESSIONS 

AND HAS LOST HIS HEALTH.  HIS WIFE WILL NOT HAVE ANYTHING 

TO DO WITH HIM.  THE LOCAL CHILDREN MAKE FUN OF HIM.  HE 

IS WASTING AWAY FROM PAINFUL DISEASE.  HE HAS ESCAPED 

DEATH BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH.  WHAT KEEPS HIM HANGING IN 

THERE?



Job 19:25-27  PG 1178

For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall 

stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:

And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], 

yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, 

and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.

THIS IS WHAT KEEPS JOB GOING.  JOB KNOWS GOD IS HIS 

REDEEMER.  JOB KNOWS THAT HIS REDEEMER LIVES.  JOB KNOWS 

THAT AFTER DEATH HE WILL SEE GOD.  NO MATTER WHAT JOB 

HOLDS STEADFAST TO HIS TRUST IN GOD.







SEP 14    JOB 22 - 24                    PG 1182 - 1185



Job 23:11-12  PG 1182

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not 

declined.

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; 

I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my 

necessary [food].

ELIPHAZ HAS BEEN HAMMERING ON JOB TELLING HIM THAT ALL OF 

HIS PROBLEMS ARE A RESULT OF JOB'S SINS.  JOB TELLS 

ELIPHAZ THAT HE HAS KEPT THE WAY OF GOD.  JOB LETS THE 

HYPOCRITE ELIPHAZ KNOW THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS MORE 

IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN FOOD.  THIS IS THE TYPE OF REGARD 

FOR THE WORD OF GOD THAT WE NEED TO HAVE.  IS YOUR 

SPIRITUAL FOOD, THE WORD OF GOD, MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU 

THAN YOUR PHYSICAL FOOD.  Romans 16:18 For they that are 

such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; 

and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of 

the simple.  Philippians 3:19 Whose end [is] destruction, 

whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in 

their shame, who mind earthly things.)  THE APOSTLE PAUL 

ALSO HAD SOME STRONG WORDS FOR HYPOCRITES LIKE ELIPHAZ.



Job 23:15-16  PG 1184

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, 

I am afraid of him.

For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth 

me:

JOB HAS LOST EVERYTHING FOR WHICH HE MIGHT HAVE FEAR OF 

LOOSING.  HE IS IN SUCH PAINFUL MISERABLE HEALTH THAT HE 

WELCOMES DEATH.  THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT HE FEARS.  

JOB FEARS GOD.  THERE IS ONLY ONE HEALTHY FEAR.  THAT IS 

THE FEAR OF GOD.  CONSIDERING HIS AWESOME POWER ONLY A 

FOOL WOULD NOT FEAR HIM.  THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THIS 

AWESOME POWERFUL GOD LOVES US SO MUCH THAT HE SUFFERED TO 

PAY THE DEBT OF OUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.  THE FEARFUL THING IS 

THAT HE KNOWS OUR HEARTS BETTER THAN WE DO.  THERE IS NO 

WAY TO DECEIVE THIS AWESOMELY POWERFUL GOD.  THAT IS WHY 

THE HYPOCRITE CANNOT STAND BEFORE GOD.  GOD KNOWS YOUR 

HEART.  WE CANNOT KNOW THE HEART OF ANYONE BUT OURSELF.  

JUDGING OUR OWN HEART IS A FULL TIME JOB FOR EVERY ONE OF 

US.  WE MAY HAVE DISCERNMENT BUT IT IS STILL NOT GOOD TO 

EVER TRY TO JUDGE ANOTHER BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW THEIR 

HEART.  WE AND GOD ONLY KNOW OUR MOTIVES.  WE MAY CONCEAL 

OUR MOTIVES FROM ALL THE PEOPLE WE KNOW BUT WE CANNOT 

CONCEAL THEM FROM GOD.  WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTING 

US AND TROUBLING OUR HEATS.  WE NEED GOD TO SOFTEN OUR 

HARD HEARTS.







SEP 15    JOB 25 - 31                    PG 1185 - 1193



Job 27:1-6  PG 1185

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and 

the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;

All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God 

[is] in my nostrils;

My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter 

deceit.

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will 

not remove mine integrity from me.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my 

heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.

ALL THE WHILE THAT RIGHTEOUS JOB IS ALIVE GOD'S SPIRIT IS 

WITH HIM.  JOB HAS CHOSEN GOD'S WAY AND NOT HIS OWN WAY.  

JOB WILL NOT LIE, HE WILL TELL THE TRUTH THAT HE IS NOT 

SUFFERING BECAUSE HE HAS SINNED.



Job 28:12-13 But where shall wisdom be found? and where 

[is] the place of understanding?

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in 

the land of the living.

Job 28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where [is] the 

place of understanding?

Job 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he 

knoweth the place thereof.

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the 

Lord, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] 

understanding.

THE MOST VALUABLE THING TO SEEK IS WISDOM.  WHERE DO YOU 

GET WISDOM.  YOU CAN GET IT FROM THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS 

BY LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES.  THIS IS THE EXPENSIVE AND 

PAINFUL WAY TO GET WISDOM.  THE WAY OF THE WISE IS TO GET 

THEIR WISDOM FOR THE TRUE SOURCE WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.  

GOD IS THE SOURCE OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.  THE FEAR 

OF THE LORD IS WISDOM AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL IS 

UNDERSTANDING.



Job 31:33-34  PG 1193

If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine 

iniquity in my bosom:

Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of 

families terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not 

out of the door?

HIDING YOUR SIN IS THE WORST THING THAT YOU CAN DO AND YET 

IT IS THE NATURAL HUMAN THING TO DO.  WE ALL MUST CONTEND 

WITH HYPOCRISY.  THE WAY TO OVERCOME HYPOCRISY IS TO KEEP 

IN MIND THAT NOTHING CAN BE HIDDEN FROM GOD.  SURE YOU CAN 

HIDE ANYTHING FROM ANYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF; BUT, YOU 

CAN'T HIDE IT FROM GOD.









SEP 16    JOB 32 - 37                    PG 1193 - 1202

Job 32:2-9  PG 1193

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel 

the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his 

wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than 

God.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, 

because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned 

Job.

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they 

[were] elder than he.

When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of 

[these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and 

said, I [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was 

afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should 

teach wisdom.

But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the 

Almighty giveth them understanding.

Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged 

understand judgment.

ELIHU WAS A WISE YOUNG MAN.  HE EXPRESSES WISDOM FAR 

GREATER THAN ALL OF JOB'S OTHER 3 "FRIENDS."  THERE IS AN 

IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE WHICH HE EXPRESSED AND LIVED OUT.  

ELIHU HAD WAITED TILL ALL THE ELDER PEOPLE HAD FINISHED 

SPEAKING.  WE SHOULD SHOW PROPER RESPECT FOR OUR ELDERS.  

MANY YEARS DOES NOT GUARANTEE WISDOM BUT DUE RESPECT FOR 

ELDERS IS ALWAYS PROPER.



Job 33:14-18  PG 1195

For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it 

not.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep 

falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their 

instruction,

That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide 

pride from man.

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from 

perishing by the sword.

LIFE WAS SIMPLE THEN BUT IT WAS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND 

UNCERTAIN IN JOB'S TIME TO KNOW GOD.  TODAY THERE IS A 

MUCH BETTER WAY TO HAVE GOD'S DIRECTION THAN DREAMS AND 

VISIONS.  WE NEED TO LOOK TO THE BOOK OF HEBREWS TO SEE 

HOW GOD NOW GIVES US MUCH CLEARER DIRECTION.  Hebrews 

1:1-5 AND Hebrews 2:1-15  -   God, who at sundry times and 

in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by 

the prophets,

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom 

he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made 

the worlds;

Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express 

image of his person, and upholding all things by the word 

of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat 

down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by 

inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art 

my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will 

be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

Hebrews 2 - Therefore we ought to give the more earnest 

heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time 

we should let [them] slip.

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every 

transgression and disobedience received a just recompence 

of reward;

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; 

which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was 

confirmed unto us by them that heard [him];

God also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and 

wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy 

Ghost, according to his own will?

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the 

world to come, whereof we speak.

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, 

that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou 

visitest him?

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou 

crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him 

over the works of thy hands:

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For 

in that he put all in subjection under him, he left 

nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not 

yet all things put under him.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the 

angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and 

honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for 

every man.

For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom 

[are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to 

make the captain of their salvation perfect through 

sufferings.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified 

[are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to 

call them brethren,

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the 

midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I 

and the children which God hath given me.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and 

blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him that had the power 

of death, that is, the devil;

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their 

lifetime subject to bondage.  HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE 

NEGLECT SO GREAT SALVATION.  JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR THE 

SINS OF ALL MANKIND FOR ALL TIME.  BECAUSE OF HIS 

RESURRECTION WE KNOW THAT WE ALSO MAY HAVE ETERNAL 

ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST.  WE DO NOT NEED TO BE IN 

FEAR OF DEATH.  WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN FEAR OF ANYTHING.  

BUT WE SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WORD OF GOD WHICH 

HE MAKES UNDERSTANDABLE AND COME ALIVE FOR US BY HIS HOLY 

SPIRIT.  MEN WILL ONLY BE DESTROYED IF THEY REJECT GOD'S 

TRUTH.



Job 33:23-28  PG 1196

If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one 

among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from 

going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return 

to the days of his youth:

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto 

him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will 

render unto man his righteousness.

He looketh upon men, and [if any] say, I have sinned, and 

perverted [that which was] right, and it profited me not;

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his 

life shall see the light.

ELIHU DID NOT KNOW HOW WELL HE WAS DESCRIBING JESUS.  NOT 

JUST ONE AMONG A THOUSAND BUT ONE AMONG 10 E96. TEN TO THE 

96TH POWER IS THE ODDS AGAINST ANYONE FILLING THE 333 

MESSIANIC PROPHECIES WHICH JESUS FULFILLED.  JESUS SHOWS 

US THE WAY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.  JESUS IS GRACIOUS TO US.  

JESUS HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE PIT.  JESUS HAS PAID OUR 

RANSOM.  JESUS RENEWS US AND GIVES US ETERNAL LIFE.  JESUS 

INTERCEDES WITH US TO GOD THE FATHER.  JESUS OBTAINS GOD'S 

FAVOR FOR US.  JESUS GIVES US JOY.  JESUS GIVES US HIS 

RIGHTEOUSNESS.  IF WE WILL JUST CONFESS OUR SINS JESUS 

DELIVERS US FROM HELL.  JESUS GIVES US THE LIGHT OF OUR 

LIVES.  WHAT A PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF JESUS FROM ELIHU.









SEP 17    JOB 38 - 42                    PG 1202 - 1209



Job 38:1-4  PG 1202

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without 

knowledge?

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of 

thee, and answer thou me.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? 

declare, if thou hast understanding.

ENOUGH - NOW GOD WILL ASK THE QUESTIONS.  HE ASKS JOB 

WHERE JOB WAS WHEN GOD LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH?

GOD CAN ASK MANY QUESTIONS THAT NO MAN CAN ANSWER.  IT IS 

GOOD TO REVIEW THE QUESTIONS THAT REVEAL THE EXCEEDING 

GREATNESS OF GOD IN CHAPTERS 38 AND 39.



Job 40:1-7  PG 1205

Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? 

he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay 

mine hand upon my mouth.

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but 

I will proceed no further.

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and 

said,

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, 

and declare thou unto me.

JOB IMMEDIATELY REPENTS.   IT IS OK TO QUESTION GOD BUT IT 

IS THE MOST FOOLISH THING TO CHALLENGE GOD.  GOD EXPECTS 

US TO ASK WHY.  THE PROBLEM COMES WHEN OUR WHYS BECOME A 

WHINE.



Job 42:1-6  PG 1208

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no 

thought can be withholden from thee.

Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? 

therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too 

wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of 

thee, and declare thou unto me.

I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now 

mine eye seeth thee.

Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.

JOB'S REPENTANCE IS FULL AND COMPLETE.  HE ALLOWS GOD TO 

BE GOD.



Job 42:8-13  PG 1208

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, 

and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a 

burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for 

him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] 

folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which 

is] right, like my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] 

Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD 

commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed 

for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as 

he had before.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his 

sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance 

before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they 

bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the 

LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece 

of money, and every one an earring of gold.

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his 

beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six 

thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a 

thousand she asses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

THE LORD REBUKES JOB'S 3 HYPOCRITE "FRIENDS."  HE TELLS 

THEM THAT IF JOB DOES NOT PRAY FOR THEM THEY ARE SURELY 

GOING TO BE PUNISHED GREATLY.  NOTICE THAT THE YOUNG MAN 

ELIHU IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPRIMAND.  GOD THEN GAVE JOB 

BACK TWICE AS MUCH AS HE HAD BEFORE.









SEP 18   PSALMS 44, 79, 85, 89           PG 1209 - 1217



Psalms 44:4-8  PG 1209

Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy 

name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword 

save me.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them 

to shame that hated us.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for 

ever. Selah.

PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD.  MAKE YOUR BOASTS IN GOD.  PRAISE 

HIS NAME FOREVER.  SELAH - THINK ABOUT IT.



Psalms 79:9-11  PG 1212

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy 

name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy 

name's sake.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? 

let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the 

revenging of the blood of thy servants [which is] shed.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; 

according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou 

those that are appointed to die;

IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN YOU HAVE GOD'S NAME.  YOUR ACTIONS 

DRAW PEOPLE TO GOD OR REPEL THEM FROM HIM.  HOW VERY WISE 

IT IS TO PRAY THAT GOD WILL GLORIFY HIS NAME, TO HELP US 

OVERCOME THE SIN PROBLEMS IN OUR LIFE FOR THE GLORY OF HIS 

NAME.  TO ASK GOD TO MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL TO GIVE GLORY TO 

HIM IS GOOD.  TO ASK HIM TO MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL SO THAT 

YOU WOULD BECOME VAIN, PROUD, AND FORGET HIM IS NOT LIKELY 

TO BE ANSWERED.  GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART MOTIVATIONS.



Psalms 85:1-3  PG 1214

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.} 

LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast 

brought back the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast 

covered all their sin. Selah.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned 

[thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.

ALL OF US ARE BORN CAPTIVES TO SIN.  GOD'S FORGIVENESS AND 

MERCY IS SO AMAZING.  WILL WE BE LIKE HIM AND FORGIVE 

THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US?



Psalms 89:1   PG 1214

{Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.} I will sing of the 

mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make 

known thy faithfulness to all generations.

THIS FIRST VERSE OF PSALM 89 IS A POPULAR CHRISTIAN SONG.  

HAVE YOU HEARD IT?





Psalms 89:9   PG 1215

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof 

arise, thou stillest them.

HAS ANYONE OTHER THAN JESUS EVER DONE THIS?



Psalms 89:14-16  PG 1215

Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: 

mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they 

shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy 

righteousness shall they be exalted.

DO YOU HAVE RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD 

THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OR DO YOU HAVE SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS?

DO YOU REJOICE IN YOUR OWN NAME OR IN THE NAME OF JESUS?









SEP 19   PSALMS 102, 106, 137            PG 1217 - 1221



Psalms 102:25-28  PG1218

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the 

heavens [are] the work of thy hands.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them 

shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou 

change them, and they shall be changed:

But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.

The children of thy servants shall continue, and their 

seed shall be established before thee.

GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.  GOD WILL NOT 

CHANGE EVEN THOUGH HE WILL CREATE A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW 

EARTH.



Psalms 106:47-48  PG 1220

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the 

heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to 

triumph in thy praise.

Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to 

everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye 

the LORD.

WE ARE SEEING THIS FULFILLED BEFORE OUR EYES.  GOD IS 

REGATHERING ISRAEL FROM AMONG THE HEATHEN.  LET ALL THE 

PEOPLE PRAISE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL.



Psalms 137:1-4   PG 1221

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, 

when we remembered Zion.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us 

a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, 

[saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.

How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?

THE JEWS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR JOYFUL FOLK 

SONGS AND MELODIES.  KING DAVID HAD ELEVATED JEWISH FOLK 

SONGS OF PRAISE TO THE MOST WELL KNOWN MELODIES IN THE 

WORLD.  IN THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY THE JEWS WERE TAUNTED 

TO SING THESE UPBEAT PRAISE SONGS.  IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT 

TO SING THESE UPBEAT PRAISE SONGS IN CAPTIVITY.  WE SHOULD 

DO IT ANYWAY.  SOMETIMES WE FIND OURSELVES IN DEPRESSING 

AND DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.  SINGING SONGS SUCH AS 

JEHOVAH JIREH WILL HELP IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND 

LIFT YOU IN TIMES OF DEPRESSION.  THE JOY OF THE LORD IS 

OUR STRENGTH AND SINGING PRAISE SONGS HELPS RESTORE AND 

MAINTAIN JOY.









SEP 20   DANIEL 7 & 8                    PG 1222 - 1225



Daniel 7:1-3  PG 1222

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had 

a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he 

wrote the dream, [and] told the sum of the matters.

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, 

behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great 

sea.

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one 

from another.

DANIEL'S PROPHETIC DREAMS ARE SO ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE THAT 

MEN HAVE HAD TO TRY TO RESORT TO SAYING THEY WERE WRITTEN 

AFTER THE FACT.  VARIOUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS AND BECAUSE 

OF THE WAY IN WHICH JEWISH SCRIPTURES GAVE SO MANY NAMES 

OF VARIOUS CONTEMPORARY RULERS FIRMLY FIX THE ACCURACY OF 

THE DATE OF THESE PROPHECIES AT 552 BC.  IT IS OUR 

GENERATION WHICH IS MOST LIKELY TO SEE THE LAST PIECES OF 

DANIEL'S PROPHECY FULFILLED.  REMEMBER THAT JESUS HIMSELF 

TOLD US TO PAY PARTICULARLY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DANIEL'S 

PROPHECIES AS THEY RELATE TO HIS RETURN.  SEE Matthew 

24:15 AND Mark 13:14 WHERE JESUS SOLEMNLY WARNS AND 

ENCOURAGES US TO GET UNDERSTANDING OF DANIEL'S PROPHECY.

AS WE SHALL SEE, SOME PARTS WERE TO BE SEALED UP FOR A 

GENERATION SUCH AS OURS AT THE TIME OF THE RETURN OF THE 

KING OF KINGS.  NO GENERATION IN HISTORY HAS EVER HAD 

GREATER INCENTIVE TO CAREFULLY STUDY THE FOLLOWING 

SCRIPTURES.  READ THEM OVER AND OVER WITH PRAYER.  

MEMORIZE THEM IF YOU CAN.  GET UNDERSTANDING OF THESE 

SCRIPTURES.  THERE IS NO LONGER REASON FOR THEM TO BE 

SEALED.



Daniel 7:4-28  PG 1222 - 1223

The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I 

beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was 

lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as 

a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it 

raised up itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in 

the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said 

thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which 

had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast 

had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth 

beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and 

it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, 

and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it [was] 

diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it; and it 

had ten horns.

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among 

them another little horn, before whom there were three of 

the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in 

this horn [were] eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth 

speaking great things.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient 

of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and 

the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was 

like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: 

thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand 

times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, 

and the books were opened.

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words 

which the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was 

slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning 

flame.

As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their 

dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a 

season and time.

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the 

Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the 

Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a 

kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should 

serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, 

which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which 

shall not be destroyed.

I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my] 

body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him 

the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the 

interpretation of the things.

These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings, 

[which] shall arise out of the earth.

But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, 

and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was 

diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose 

teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] 

devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with 

his feet;

And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the 

other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] 

that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great 

things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and 

prevailed against them;

Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to 

the saints of the most High; and the time came that the 

saints possessed the kingdom.

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom 

upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and 

shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and 

break it in pieces.

And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings 

[that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and 

he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue 

three kings.

And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, 

and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think 

to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his 

hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his 

dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto the end.

And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the 

kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the 

people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] 

an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and 

obey him.

Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my 

cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed 

in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

DANIEL SAW HOW BABYLON WOULD BE SUCCEEDED BY THE 

MEDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE.  THEY WOULD BE SUCCEEDED BY ALEXANDER 

THE GREAT ESTABLISHING THE GREEK EMPIRE WHICH WAS DIVIDED 

BY HIS FOUR GENERALS.  THEY WERE SUCCEEDED BY ROME.  IN 

THE LAST DAYS THERE WOULD FINALLY BE ANOTHER WORLD EMPIRE 

OF THE SHORT REIGN OF THE ANTICHRIST WHO WOULD MAKE WAR ON 

THE SAINTS.  PRAISE GOD!  THE KING OF KINGS RETURNS TO SET 

UP HIS EVERLASTING KINGDOM IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HIS SAINTS 

SHALL BE PART OF THIS GLORIOUS WONDERFUL EVERLASTING 

KINGDOM.  PLEASE GET UNDERSTANDING OF THIS.  IT IS QUITE 

LIKELY FOR OUR GENERATION TO SEE THE CONCLUSION.  I HAVE 

SO MUCH TO SHARE REGARDING THIS BUT SEEK IT FOR YOURSELF.  

PRAY AND ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LET YOU SEE THESE 

FANTASTIC TRUTHS FOR YOURSELF.  DISCUSSING AND SHARING THE 

REVELATIONS CONTAINED IN THESE SCRIPTURES IS A SOURCE OF 

TREMENDOUS JOY AND ENCOURAGEMENT.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT 

YOU FIND AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.  LOOK FOR THE WORLD TO 

SEE THE RISE OF 10 GREAT NATIONS OR TO BE DIVIDED INTO 10 

REGIONS.  LOOK FOR SOMEONE TO OVERCOME THREE GREAT NATIONS 

OR WORLD REGIONS.  MOST OF ALL LOOK TO SEE HOW NEAR IS THE 

RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO PUT DOWN THE WORLD 

RULER WHO MAKES WAR WITH HIS SAINTS.  LOOK UP FOR YOUR 

REDEMPTION DRAWS NEIGH.



Daniel 8:1-27  PG 1224 - 1225

In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision 

appeared unto me, [even unto] me Daniel, after that which 

appeared unto me at the first.

And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, 

that I [was] at Shushan [in] the palace, which [is] in the 

province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the 

river of Ulai.

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there 

stood before the river a ram which had [two] horns: and 

the [two] horns [were] high; but one [was] higher than the 

other, and the higher came up last.

I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and 

southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, 

neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his 

hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the 

west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the 

ground: and the goat [had] a notable horn between his 

eyes.

And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had 

seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the 

fury of his power.

And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved 

with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his 

two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand 

before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and 

stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver 

the ram out of his hand.

Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was 

strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four 

notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which 

waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the 

east, and toward the pleasant [land].

And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it 

cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the 

ground, and stamped upon them.

Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the 

host, and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and 

the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

And an host was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] 

by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to 

the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said 

unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] 

the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the 

transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary 

and the host to be trodden under foot?

And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred 

days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen the 

vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there 

stood before me as the appearance of a man.

And I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] Ulai, 

which called, and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to 

understand the vision.

So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was 

afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, 

Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end 

[shall be] the vision.

Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on 

my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me 

upright.

And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be 

in the last end of the indignation: for at the time 

appointed the end [shall be].

The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns [are] the 

kings of Media and Persia.

And the rough goat [is] the king of Grecia: and the great 

horn that [is] between his eyes [is] the first king.

Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four 

kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his 

power.

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the 

transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce 

countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand 

up.

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: 

and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and 

practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy 

people.

And through his policy also he shall cause craft to 

prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his 

heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also 

stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be 

broken without hand.

And the vision of the evening and the morning which was 

told [is] true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it 

[shall be] for many days.

And I Daniel fainted, and was sick [certain] days; 

afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I 

was astonished at the vision, but none understood [it].

DANIEL WAS GIVEN MORE DETAIL TO REVEAL THE SAME PROPHECY 

MOST OF WHICH IS NOW HISTORY.  THERE WORLD BE WORLD 

EMPIRES OF BABYLON, MEDO-PERSIA, GREECE, ROME AND FINALLY 

ANTICHRIST.  WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF 

THIS TOTAL WAR OF ANTICHRIST ON THE SAINTS YOU MAY KNOW IN 

LESS THAN 2300 DAYS JESUS WILL BE BACK TO PUT AN END TO 

ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.  IT BRINGS TO MIND THE RUSH 

LIMBAUGH'S DAILY COUNTDOWN OF THE DAYS REMAINING IN THE 

CLINTON PRESIDENCY.  UNDERSTAND THIS, IF JESUS IS YOUR 

LORD, YOU WIN.  THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO WILL RIDICULE AND 

PERSECUTE YOU FOR KNOWING THE TRUTH.  THE APOSTLE JOHN 

GIVES MORE LIGHT TO THE SHORT REIGN OF ANTICHRIST IN THE 

BOOK OF REVELATION.  REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAYS IN 

Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] 

he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk 

naked, and they see his shame.

Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he 

that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my 

reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his 

work shall be.









SEP 21   DANIEL 5 & 9                    PG 1225 - 1229



Daniel 5:1-6  PG 1225

Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of 

his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring 

the golden and silver vessels which his father 

Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which [was] in 

Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and 

his concubines, might drink therein.

Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out 

of the temple of the house of God which [was] at 

Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and 

his concubines, drank in them.

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of 

silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and 

wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the 

wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of 

the hand that wrote.

Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts 

troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, 

and his knees smote one against another.

KING BELSHAZZAR HAD GONE TOO FAR WHEN HE DECIDED TO USE 

THE VESSELS WHICH WERE TAKEN FROM THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD 

IN JERUSALEM TO USE IN HIS DRUNKEN PARTY.  A HAND APPEARED 

(JUST A HAND) AND WROTE ON THE WALL.  THIS FRIGHTENED THE 

KING TO THE POINT THAT HIS LEGS GAVE WAY AS HE FAINTED IN 

FEAR.  IS IT TIME FOR AMERICAN CHRISTIANS TO SEE THE 

HANDWRITING ON THE WALL?



Daniel 5:23-31  PG 1227

But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and 

they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, 

and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, 

have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of 

silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which 

see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy 

breath [is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not 

glorified:

Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this 

writing was written.

And this [is] the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, 

TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

This [is] the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath 

numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found 

wanting.

PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and 

Persians.

Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with 

scarlet, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and 

made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the 

third ruler in the kingdom.

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans 

slain.

And Darius the Median took the kingdom, [being] about 

threescore and two years old.

HAVE NOT THE RULERS OF AMERICA DONE AS BELSHAZZAR WITH 

THEIR ANTICHRIST POLITICAL CORRECTNESS?  HOW ARROGANT ARE 

AMERICA'S RULERS WHO SET THEMSELVES AGAINST THE WORD OF 

GOD?  GOD HAD NUMBERED THEIR DAYS OF PREEMINENCE AND THEY 

WERE FINISHED.  GOD'S JUDGMENT WAS UPON THEM.  THAT SAME 

NIGHT BELSHAZZAR WAS KILLED AND THE MEDO-PERSIAN EMPIRE 

BEGAN.



Daniel 9:20-23   PG 1229

And whiles I [was] speaking, and praying, and confessing 

my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my 

supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain 

of my God;

Yea, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man 

Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, 

being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of 

the evening oblation.

And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O 

Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and 

understanding.

At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came 

forth, and I am come to shew [thee]; for thou [art] 

greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and 

consider the vision.

WHEN YOU READ DANIEL'S PRAYER IN VERSES 4-19 IS EASY TO 

SEE WHY DANIEL WAS ADDRESSED BY THE ANGEL GABRIEL AS 

GREATLY BELOVED.  GOD SENT THE ANGEL GABRIEL TO GIVE 

DANIEL UNDERSTANDING.  DANIEL HAD ASKED GOD TO GLORIFY 

HIMSELF BY RESTORING ISRAEL BECAUSE THE CITY AND THE 

PEOPLE WERE THE CITY AND PEOPLE OF JEHOVAH.  DANIEL WAS 

NOT ASKING ANYTHING FOR HIMSELF.  HE WAS JEALOUS FOR GOD'S 

GLORY.  HE NEVER LEFT THE LAND OF CAPTIVITY WHERE HE WAS 

THE HIGHEST RULER UNDER THE KING WHETHER THE KING BE 

BABYLONIAN OR MEDE.  PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THIS 

FANTASTIC PROPHECY WHICH GOD SENT TO DANIEL BY THE ANGEL 

GABRIEL.



Daniel 9:24-27  PG 1229

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy 

holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end 

of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to 

bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the 

vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth 

of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto 

the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and 

threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, 

and the wall, even in troublous times.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut 

off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince 

that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; 

and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the 

end of the war desolations are determined.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: 

and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice 

and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of 

abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the 

consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the 

desolate.

70 WEEKS ARE DETERMINED TO WRAP UP EVERYTHING (HEBREW = 

SEVENTY 7'S = 490 YEARS).  FROM THE GOING FOURTH OF THE 

COMMAND TO REBUILD JERUSALEM UNTIL MESSIAH WOULD BE 7 AND 

62 WEEKS (7'S) OR IN EXACTLY 483 YEARS.  WHAT WAS TO 

HAPPEN 483 YEARS FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE COMMAND TO 

REBUILD JERUSALEM?  MESSIAH THE PRINCE WOULD COME!  THIS 

PROPHECY PREDICTED ALMOST TO THE DAY WHEN JESUS WOULD 

ENTER JERUSALEM ON THE FIRST PALM SUNDAY.  THAT IS WHY 

JESUS TOLD THE PHARISEES EVEN THE VERY ROCKS WOULD CRY OUT 

IF THE PEOPLE WERE TO REMAIN SILENT.  WHAT WAS MESSIAH 

GOING TO DO?  MESSIAH WOULD MAKE AN END OF SINS!  MESSIAH 

WOULD MAKE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY!  MESSIAH WOULD 

BRING EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS!  CAN YOU SEE IT?  HAD THE 

PRINCES OF THIS WORLD KNOWN, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED 

THE LORD OF GLORY.  THEY DIDN'T SEE IT BUT YOU CAN.  HE 

WHO KNEW NO SIN, WAS MADE TO BE SIN FOR US.  CAN YOU SEE 

IT?  WE ARE FREE FROM SIN - ALLELUIA!  JESUS MADE AND END 

OF SINS.  THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR US BECAUSE MESSIAH MADE 

THE RECONCILIATION FOR INIQUITY WHICH NONE OF US COULD 

EVER MAKE NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRIED!  ALL WE HAVE TO DO 

IS AGREE WITH GOD AND ACCEPT HIS FORGIVENESS AND THAT SIN 

IS THROWN INTO THE SEA OF FORGETFULNESS AND WE ARE 

JUSTIFIED.  "JUST AS IF I'D" NEVER SINNED.  CAN YOU GET 

HOLD OF THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GABRIEL GAVE TO DANIEL?

MESSIAH WAS KILLED 483 YEARS AFTER THE COMMAND WAS ISSUED 

BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF.  HE DID IT FOR US.  THAT IS THE BIG 

UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU MUST GET.  THERE IS ANOTHER 

UNDERSTANDING WHICH YOU ALSO MUST GET AS A POSSIBLE MEMBER 

OF THAT GENERATION WHICH WILL JOIN THE pRINCE (LITTLE p 

pRINCE SIGNIFYING ANTICHRIST) IN MAKING WAR ON THE SAINTS.  

IF YOU DON'T BECOME KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE WORD OF GOD YOU 

WILL BE SUCKED INTO THE ANTICHRIST'S GLOBAL NEW WORLD 

ORDER AND NEW AGE MOVEMENT.  YOU WILL BE GUIDED AND 

CONTROLLED BY A DEMONIC SPIRIT GUIDE, ASCENDED MASTER, 

MASTER OF WISDOM, OR WHATEVER ELSE YOUR HIGHER 

CONSCIOUSNESS LEADER DEMON DIRECTS.  THE TRIBULATION 

PRECEDES THE RAPTURE AND ONLY JESUS AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF 

HIS WORD CAN KEEP YOU AND MAKE YOU AN OVERCOMMER IN 

TRIBULATION.  YOU NEED TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT MAKING YOUR 

FAITH GROW STRONG.  HOW DO YOU GET MORE FAITH?  FAITH 

COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.  

CLINTON BROUGHT YASSER ARIFAT TO WASHINGTON TO MAKE A 

PEACE TREATY WITH ISRAEL.  WATCH OUT IF THE TREATY IS 

BROKEN NEAR THE END OF CLINTON'S FIRST TERM.









SEPT 22  DANIEL 6                         PG 1230 - 1232



Daniel 6:3   PG 1230

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and 

princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the 

king thought to set him over the whole realm.

DANIEL'S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WISDOM WERE LEGENDARY.  

Proverbs 11:30 - The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of 

life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.  HE SERVED 

UNDER AT LEAST 4 KINGS WHO LITERALLY RULED THE WORLD OF 

HIS DAY.  HE BECAME THE TOP MAN IN THEIR ADMINISTRATIONS.  

HE SHARED THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS GOD WITH ALL OF THEM.  

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR AND DARIUS CAME TO 

ACCEPT DANIEL'S GOD AS THE TRUE GOD.  THE CAPTAIN OF THE 

IMPERIAL GUARD WHO WAS SENT TO SEEK OUT AND CARE FOR 

JEREMIAH AMONG THE CAPTIVES OF JUDAH HAD COME TO BELIEVE 

IN DANIEL'S GOD.  THIS IS AN IMPORTANT KEY TO 

UNDERSTANDING HOW THE BOOK OF DANIEL APPLIES TO CHRISTIANS 

AS WELL AS JEWS IN THE LAST DAYS.  DR. FRANKLIN D. WATTS 

SAYS THAT ALL HUMANITY CAN BE PLACED IN THE 3 CATEGORIES 

OF JEW, GENTILE, AND CHRISTIAN.  ANYONE WHO ACCEPTS JESUS 

CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD BECOMES A SAINT, A CHILD OF GOD, 

A PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, A CHRISTIAN.  THE JEW OR 

GENTILE WHO ACCEPTS JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD 

BECOMES A SAINT.  IF YOU ASKED DANIEL IF NEBUCHADNEZZAR, 

THE CAPTAIN OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD, OR DARIUS WAS ONE OF 

HIS PEOPLE, A CHILD OF GOD, OR A SAINT HE WOULD MOST 

DEFINITELY HAD SAID YES.  UNDERSTANDING THIS WILL HELP YOU 

UNDERSTAND THAT DANIEL'S END TIME PROPHESIES HAVE MUCH 

BROADER APPLICATION THAN JUST THE JEWS AND NATION OF 

ISRAEL.  THERE IS INFORMATION WHICH WE MUST UNDERSTAND.    

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT NOT ALL JEWS WERE DANIEL'S 

PEOPLE.  DANIEL'S PEOPLE WERE THE PEOPLE OF HIS GOD.  THE 

ANGEL WHO TOLD DANIEL WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO "THY" PEOPLE 

WAS TELLING WHAT WILL BE FOR YOU AND ME IF OUR GOD IS 

DANIEL'S GOD.  ONE SHOULD NOT LIMIT THE APPLICATION OF 

DANIEL'S END TIME PROPHESIES TO ISRAEL.  WE SHOULD KEEP 

OUR MIND OPEN AND SEEK THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN 

THE INTERPRETATION OF DANIEL'S END TIME PROPHESIES.



Daniel 6:5   PG 1230

Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion 

against this Daniel, except we find [it] against him 

concerning the law of his God.

EVERYONE WAS JEALOUS OF DANIEL'S POSITION.  ALL OF THE 

KING'S OTHER LEADERS CONSPIRED TO GET RID OF HIM.  THE 

ONLY POSSIBLE WAY THAT THEY COULD ENTRAP HIM WOULD BE IN 

REGARD TO HIS GREAT LOYALTY AND FAITHFULNESS TO HIS GOD.



Daniel 6:7   PG 1230

All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the 

princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted 

together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm 

decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or 

man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be 

cast into the den of lions.

DANIEL'S ENEMIES ENTRAPPED THE KING TO HARM DANIEL BY A 

VERY DEVIOUS PLOT PLAYING UPON HIS PRIDE AND EVEN HIS 

CONFIDENCE IN THEM.



Daniel 6:11   PG 1230

Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and 

making supplication before his God.

IT DID NOT TAKE LONG FOR THE CONSPIRATORS TO BRING THE 

DEATH PENALTY CHARGE AGAINST DANIEL.



Daniel 6:13-14   PG 1230

Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, 

which [is] of the children of the captivity of Judah, 

regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast 

signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

Then the king, when he heard [these] words, was sore 

displeased with himself, and set [his] heart on Daniel to 

deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the 

sun to deliver him.

THE KING REALIZED THAT HE HAD BEEN ENTRAPPED BY THE 

CONSPIRATORS.  HE WAS DISPLEASED WITH HIMSELF FOR FALLING 

INTO THE TRAP THESE CONSPIRATORS HAD SET JUST TO KILL HIS 

MOST TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND AND SERVANT.



Daniel 6:16-20  PG 1231

Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast 

[him] into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said 

unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he 

will deliver thee.

And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the 

den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with 

the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be 

changed concerning Daniel.

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night 

fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before 

him: and his sleep went from him.

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in 

haste unto the den of lions.

And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable 

voice unto Daniel: [and] the king spake and said to 

Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, 

whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from 

the lions?

THINK ABOUT WHAT THE KING SAID WHEN DANIEL WAS PUT IN WITH 

THE LIONS.  "THY GOD, WHOM THOU SERVEST CONTINUALLY, HE 

WILL DELIVER THEE."   THIS KING HAS GREAT FAITH IN 

DANIEL'S GOD.  DO WE EVEN HAVE THIS MEASURE OF FAITH IN 

GOD AS THE KING EXPRESSES HERE.  THIS KING WAS A SAINT.  

THIS KING HAD COME TO KNOW THE TRUE GOD FROM HIS FRIEND 

DANIEL.  HE WAS ONE OF "THY PEOPLE" THOUGH HE WAS NOT A 

JEW.  THE KING SEALED THE LION'S DEN WITH HIS SIGNET TO BE 

SURE THE CONSPIRATORS WOULD NOT DISTURB THE LIONS OR KILL 

DANIEL TO HELP THE LIONS.  EARLY IN THE MORNING, AFTER A 

SLEEPLESS NIGHT OF CONCERN AND POSSIBLY PRAYER FOR DANIEL, 

THE KING COMES TO THE LIONS DEN.  "DANIEL, OH DANIEL, 

SERVANT OF THE LIVING GOD, IS THY GOD, WHOM THOU SERVEST 

CONTINUALLY, ABLE TO DELIVER THEE FROM THE LIONS?"



Daniel 6:22-24   PG 1230

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' 

mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before 

him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O 

king, have I done no hurt.

Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded 

that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel 

was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was 

found upon him, because he believed in his God.

And the king commanded, and they brought those men which 

had accused Daniel, and they cast [them] into the den of 

lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the 

lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones 

in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

ALWAYS CAREFUL TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD, DANIEL REPORTS THAT 

GOD HAS DELIVERED HIM.  THE KING WAS EXCEEDING GLAD.  IN 

VERSE 23 WE FIND WHY DANIEL WAS NOT HURT BY THE LIONS - 

BECAUSE HE BELIEVED IN HIS GOD.  WE CAN BE SURE THAT 

DANIEL KNEW THE PROMISE GOD GAVE TO NOAH AND HOW THAT 

PROMISE WOULD APPLY TO HIS PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE WITH THE 

LIONS.  DO YOU RECALL WHAT GOD PROMISED NOAH AFTER THE 

FLOOD IN Genesis 9:2 - And the fear of you and the dread 

of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon 

every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth [upon] the 

earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand 

are they delivered.  DANIEL KNEW THAT GOD HAD PUT THE FEAR 

OF MEN IN THE HEARTS OF ALL ANIMALS.  DANIEL WAS NOT 

AFRAID OF THE LIONS BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT FAITH IN THE 

INTEGRITY OF GOD.  IF DANIEL HAD HAD ANY FEAR THE LIONS 

WOULD HAVE SENSED HIS FEAR IMMEDIATELY.  THE ANGEL WAS 

PROBABLY SENT SO THAT DANIEL COULD GET A GOOD NIGHTS 

SLEEP.  IF YOU KNOW THIS PROMISE OF GOD AND DO NOT HAVE 

FEAR YOU CAN BACK DOWN EVEN A LION.  THE PROBLEM IS 

WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE ANY FEAR BECAUSE MOST ANIMALS SEEM 

TO BE ABLE TO SENSE FEAR.  IF YOU HAVE FEAR, YOU EITHER 

DON'T KNOW OR BELIEVE THE PROMISE OF GOD AND YOU WILL BE 

IN TROUBLE.  THIS COULD BE VERY IMPORTANT DURING THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION WHEN ANIMALS MAY EVEN BE POSSESSED BY DEMONS.



Daniel 6:26-28  PG 1231

I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men 

tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he [is] the 

living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom [that] 

which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion [shall be 

even] unto the end.

He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and 

wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel 

from the power of the lions.

So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in 

the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

IS KING DARIUS A BELIEVER, A CHILD OF GOD, ONE OF DANIEL'S 

PEOPLE?  HE WAS NOT A JEW BUT HE WAS ONE OF "THY PEOPLE" 

MORE THAN THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN JEWS AND HAD REJECTED 

THE GOD OF THEIR FATHERS.  THOSE WHO HAD OBEDIENT FAITH IN 

DANIEL'S GOD WERE DANIEL'S PEOPLE.  DANIEL'S END TIME 

PROPHESIES APPLY TO THE SAINTS.  THERE IS EMPHASIS ON 

ISRAEL BUT IT IS UNWISE TO SAY THEY ONLY APPLY TO ISRAEL 

TO ASSUAGE FEAR OF GREAT TRIBULATION.  WE NEED TO CAUSE 

OUR FAITH TO GROW TO ASSUAGE OUR FEAR OF TRIBULATION.  

Romans 10:17 - So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and 

hearing by the word of God.  THE PERIOD OF GREAT 

TRIBULATION PROMISES TO BE THE MOST EXCITING TIME IN WHICH 

ANY BELIEVER HAS EVER HAD OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE.  THE PEOPLE 

LIVING DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION WILL SEE THE BLESSED 

HOPE OF THE LORD'S TRIUMPHAL RETURN IN GREAT POWER AND 

GLORY.  WE WILL LIVE SUPERNATURALLY BY GOD'S MIRACULOUS 

PROVISION.  IT WILL REQUIRE GREAT FAITH.  THAT IS WHY WE 

MUST ALL MAKE STUDY OF GOD'S WORD OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY.  

THIS IS THE WAY TO GREAT FAITH THAT ASSUAGES FEAR OF GREAT 

TRIBULATION.









SEPT 23  EZRA 1 -4                        PG 1233 - 1238



Ezra 1:1-2  PG 1233

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the 

word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be 

fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of 

Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his 

kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven 

hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath 

charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which [is] 

in Judah.

IT DOES NOT TAKE DANIEL LONG.  IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE 

REIGN OF KING CYRUS DANIEL HAS BEEN EFFECTIVELY WITNESSING 

TO KING CYRUS.  IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT CYRUS HAS ALREADY 

BECOME A BELIEVER IN THE GOD OF DANIEL.  AT LEAST DANIEL 

HAS MADE CYRUS AWARE OF THE WORDS OF Isaiah 44:28 - 45:6 

That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall 

perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou 

shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be 

laid.

Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right 

hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I 

will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two 

leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places 

straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and 

cut in sunder the bars of iron:

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden 

riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the 

LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of 

Israel.

For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have 

even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though 

thou hast not known me.

I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no 

God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known 

me:

GOD HAD HIS PROPHET ISAIAH SPEAK TO A KING NAMED CYRUS WHO 

HAD NOT YET BEEN BORN.  THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 712 BC AND 

CYRUS BEGAN TO REIGN 176 YEARS LATER IN 536 BC.  ONLY GOD 

COULD KNOW CYRUS 200 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS BORN.  GOD TELLS 

ISAIAH TO WRITE TO CYRUS 200 YEARS BEFORE CYRUS IS BORN.  

HE TELLS HIM THE EXACT MEANS BY WHICH HE WILL CONQUER 

BABYLON.  GOD CAUSED THE RIVER TO DRY UP SO THAT A FEW OF 

CYRUS'S SOLDIERS COULD GO IN THE DRY RIVER BED AND OPEN 

THE BRONZE LEAF GATES OF BABYLON FROM THE INSIDE TO LET IN 

THE ARMIES OF CYRUS.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE CYRUS.  

MOST LIKELY YOU WOULD DO WHAT CYRUS DID AND DO WHAT GOD 

TOLD YOU.

WOULD ANY KING TURN LOOSE OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND SLAVES AND 

POSSIBLY MILLIONS OF SALVES LATER FOR NOTHING?  YET THAT 

IS JUST EXACTLY WHAT CYRUS DID.  HE EVEN TURNED THEM LOOSE 

AND GAVE THEM A GIFT OF ABOUT 10 MILLION DOLLARS.



Ezra 1:7  PG 1234

Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house 

of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of 

Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;

CYRUS RETURNED ALL OF THE LOOT FROM THE TEMPLE WHICH 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD DESTROYED.  IN ADDITION HE ENCOURAGED 

EVERYONE TO GIVE TO THE SUPPORT OF THE JEWS WHOM HE WAS 

SENDING HOME TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.



Ezra 2:64   PG 1234

The whole congregation together [was] forty and two 

thousand three hundred [and] threescore,

INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN THERE HAD TO BE OVER 100,000 

WHO LEFT BABYLON TO GO BACK TO JERUSALEM TO REBUILD THE 

TEMPLE.



Ezra 3:3  PG 1237

And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear [was] upon 

them because of the people of those countries: and they 

offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, [even] 

burnt offerings morning and evening.

THE PEOPLE WHO NOW INHABITED PALESTINE WERE HOSTILE TO THE 

JEWS.  THEY BUILT AN ALTER ON THE TEMPLE SITE AND BEGAN TO 

OFFER THE SACRIFICES OF THE LAW OF MOSES.



Ezra 3:8   PG 1238

Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of 

God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel 

the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and 

the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, 

and all they that were come out of the captivity unto 

Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years 

old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of 

the LORD.

IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND THEY HAVE NOT YET LAID THE 

FOUNDATIONS OF THE TEMPLE.  WHAT IS WRONG?  OBVIOUSLY MY 

BROTHER BOB WAS NOT THE SUPERINTENDENT ON THE PROJECT.  

THEY WERE BUSY BUILDING THEIR OWN HOMES.  SOMEHOW THE JOB 

WHICH THEY WERE SENT BY THE KING TO PERFORM FOR GOD WAS 

NOT GETTING THEIR TOP PRIORITY.  THEY NEEDED LEADERSHIP.  

ZERUBBABEL, EZRA, HAGGAI, ZECHARIAH, AND LATER NEAMIAH 

WOULD PROVIDE THE LEADERSHIP THAT THE PEOPLE NEEDED.



Ezra 3:10-11  PG 1237

And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of 

the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with 

trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, 

to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of 

Israel.

And they sang together by course in praising and giving 

thanks unto the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy 

[endureth] for ever toward Israel. And all the people 

shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, 

because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

THEY WERE MOVING SLOWLY BUT THEY HAD THE GOOD SENSE TO 

PRAISE THE LORD.  GOD INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE.



Ezra 4:3-5  PG 1237 - 1238

But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of 

the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to 

do with us to build an house unto our God; but we 

ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, 

as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.

Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the 

people of Judah, and troubled them in building,

And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their 

purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until 

the reign of Darius king of Persia.

WHEN THE PEOPLE HEARD THE JEWS CELEBRATING AND PRAISING 

GOD THEY BECAME FEARFUL OF THE JEWS.  THEY SOUGHT TO JOIN 

IN THE TEMPLE REBUILDING PROJECT BUT ZERUBBABLE RIGHTLY 

AND BOLDLY SAID NO WAY!  THE PEOPLE THEN COVERTLY TRIED TO 

IMPEDE THE PROGRESS.











SEPT 24  DANIEL 10 - 12                   PG 1238 - 1242



Daniel 10:5-6  PG 1238 - 1239

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a 

certain man clothed in linen, whose loins [were] girded 

with fine gold of Uphaz:

His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the 

appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, 

and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished 

brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a 

multitude.

WHO WAS THIS THAT DANIEL SAW?  WAS IT JESUS?  COMPARE THIS 

DESCRIPTION WITH JOHN'S DESCRIPTION OF JESUS ON THE ISLE 

OF PATMOS.  Revelation 1:13-15 And in the midst of the 

seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed 

with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps 

with a golden girdle.  His head and [his] hairs [were] 

white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as 

a flame of fire;  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if 

they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of 

many waters.  COULD IT BE THAT DANIEL WAS SO BELOVED OF 

GOD THAT JESUS HIMSELF WOULD COME TO GIVE HIM THE ANSWERS 

TO HIS PRAYERS?



Daniel 10:10-14  PG 1239

And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my 

knees and [upon] the palms of my hands.

And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, 

understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand 

upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had 

spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first 

day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to 

chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and 

I am come for thy words.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one 

and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief 

princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the 

kings of Persia.

Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall 

thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision [is] for 

[many] days.

COULD IT BE THAT JESUS HIMSELF HAD PERSONALLY BEEN WORKING 

TO SOFTEN THE HEART OF CYRUS FOR 21 DAYS SINCE DANIEL 

BEGAN HIS ERNEST PRAYER.  IT SEEMS LOGICAL THAT DANIEL HAD 

SHOWN CYRUS THE SCRIPTURES OF ISAIAH.  PERHAPS CYRUS' 

INITIAL REJECTION OF THOSE SCRIPTURES IS WHAT CAUSED 

DANIEL TO BEGIN HIS MOURNING AND ERNEST PRAYER.  PERHAPS 

CYRUS WAS RESISTING AND JESUS HIMSELF WAS REASONING WITH 

CYRUS DURING THOSE 21 DAYS?  WHAT DO YOU THINK?



Daniel 10:18-21  PG 1239

Then there came again and touched me [one] like the 

appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,

And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace [be] unto 

thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken 

unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; 

for thou hast strengthened me.

Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and 

now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and 

when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture 

of truth: and [there is] none that holdeth with me in 

these things, but Michael your prince.

FEAR NOT, PEACE BE UNTO THEE, BE STRONG, YEA BE STRONG.  

GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO FEAR.  HE WANTS US TO BE STRONG.



Daniel 11:2-4  PG 1239

And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall 

stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall 

be far richer than [they] all: and by his strength through 

his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of 

Grecia.

And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with 

great dominion, and do according to his will.

And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, 

and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and 

not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which 

he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for 

others beside those.

THE LORD TELLS DANIEL OF THE RISE AND FALL OF THE PERSIAN 

EMPIRE WHICH WILL BE OVERTHROWN BY ALEXANDER THE GREAT WHO 

WILL FALL AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS CONQUESTS AND HAVE HIS 

KINGDOM DIVIDED IN FOUR PARTS.  ALEXANDER WAS REPORTED TO 

HAVE ONLY ABOUT 35,000 SOLDIERS AND ABOUT $75,OOO TO START 

THE WAR WITH PERSIA WHILE THE PERSIAN KING HAD AN ANNUAL 

INCOME OF ABOUT $11,000,000 AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 

SOLDIERS.  ALL OF ALEXANDER'S 3 WIVES, 2 SONS, HIS BROTHER 

AND HIS MOTHER WERE MURDERED.  PTOLEMY, ALEXANDER'S 

GENERAL, KING OF THE SOUTH BECAME STRONG BY ADDING 

CYPRESS, PHONECIA, CARIA AND CORINTH TO HIS KINGDOM OF 

EGYPT.  THE WARS BETWEEN THE NORTH (SYRIA) AND SOUTH ENDED 

BY THE MARRIAGE OF BERENICE WHO WAS PTOLEMY II'S DAUGHTER 

TO ANTIOCHUS II, KING OF SYRIA.  THE MARRIAGE REQUIRED 

ANTIOCHUS TO DIVORCE HIS WIFE LAODICE.  AFTER THE MARRIAGE 

ANTIOCHUS BROUGHT BACK LAODICE.  LAODICE THEN POISONED 

BOTH ANTIOCHUS AND BERENICE AND PUT HER SON SELEUCUS II ON 

THE THRONE.  THE EGYPTIAN WOMEN WHO HAD COME WITH BERENICE 

TRIED TO DEFEND BERENICE WHEN SHE WAS KILLED, AND MANY OF 

THEM WERE KILLED.  THEN BERNEICE'S BROTHER PTOLEMY III 

INVADED SYRIA.  HE KILLED SELEUCUS WHO WAS ALSO KNOWN AS 

ANTIOCHUS.  THIS WHOLE SECTION IN DANIEL 11:5-30 WHILE 

RATHER CONFUSING IS ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE IN EVERY 

HISTORICAL DETAIL.



Daniel 11:21   PG 1240

And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom 

they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he 

shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by 

flatteries.

MANY BELIEVE THAT THIS VERSE STRONGLY INDICATES THAT THE 

ANTICHRIST WILL BE A SYRIAN.  THE HISTORICAL PERSON IN 

THIS VERSE WAS ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES.  WHEN ROME MADE HIM 

STOP SHORT OF CONQUERING EGYPT ANTIOCHUS EPIPHANES 

ATTACKED JERUSALEM.  HE KILLED 40,000 JEWS AND SOLD MANY 

AS SLAVES.  HE BOILED PIGS AND SPRINKLED THIS PIG SOUP IN 

THE TEMPLE AND ON THE ALTER.  HE BROKE INTO THE HOLY OF 

HOLIES AND LOOTED THE GOLDEN VESSELS.  HE STOPPED THE 

JEWISH WORSHIP AND DEDICATED THE TEMPLE TO JUPITER.  HIS 

CONTEMPTIBLE AND ABOMINABLE DEEDS CAUSED THE MACCABEEAN 

REVOLT OF THE JEWS.



Daniel 11:32-39  PG 1241

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he 

corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their 

God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

And they that understand among the people shall instruct 

many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by 

captivity, and by spoil, [many] days.

Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a 

little help: but many shall cleave to them with 

flatteries.

And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try 

them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to 

the time of the end: because [it is] yet for a time 

appointed.

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall 

exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and 

shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and 

shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for 

that that is determined shall be done.

Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the 

desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify 

himself above all.

But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a 

god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, 

and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange 

god, whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: 

and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall 

divide the land for gain.

HERE IS WHERE THE TRANSITION IS MADE TO END TIME LAST DAYS 

PROPHECY WHICH HAS NOT HAD HISTORICAL FULFILLMENT.  WE 

NEED TO BE CAREFULLY WATCHING TO SEE THE DETAILS OF THESE 

PROPHECIES UNFOLDING.  THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD WILL 

BE STRONG AND DO EXPLOITS.  CAN YOU BE CORRUPTED BY 

FLATTERIES?  DOES WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU MAKE ANY 

DIFFERENCE TO YOU?  DO YOU SEEK THE PRAISE OF PEOPLE OR 

THE APPROVAL OF GOD?  WILL YOU BE CORRUPTED BY FLATTERIES 

AND BE SUCKED INTO THE GLOBAL NEW AGE GOVERNMENT AND 

RELIGIOUS SYSTEM?  WILL YOU GET SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING 

SOULS FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?  THEY THAT HAVE TRUE 

UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM WILL TRY WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT TO 

INSTRUCT MANY IN THE WAY OF SALVATION.  IT WILL COST THEM 

THEIR FAMILIES AND POSSESSIONS.  IT WILL COST THEM THEIR 

FREEDOM.  IT WILL COST MANY OF THESE SAINTS THEIR LIFE.  

THOSE WHO HAVE TRUE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING WILL BE TRIED 

AND TESTED IN GREAT TRIBULATION.  ALL THE SAINTS, NOT JUST 

ISRAEL, WILL EXPERIENCE GREAT TRIBULATION UNLESS PERHAPS 

THEY ARE NUKED.  FEAR NOT, BE STRONG, AND DO EXPLOITS IN 

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  DON'T FEAR IT, GET HOLD OF 

GOD'S PURPOSE AND POWER TO DO EXPLOITS FOR HIS GLORY.  

ANTICHRIST WILL EXALT HIMSELF AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE 

EVERY GOD.  HE WILL SAY UNHEARD-OF THINGS AGAINST ALMIGHTY 

GOD.



Daniel 11:44-45  PG 1241

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall 

trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury 

to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between 

the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come 

to his end, and none shall help him.

FOR A TIME ANTICHRIST WILL APPEAR TO BE UNSTOPPABLE.  BUT 

HE WILL BE TROUBLED BY REPORTS FROM THE NORTH AND EAST.  

THE KINGS OF THE EAST, RED CHINA, TODAY BOASTS OF AN ARMY 

OF 200,000,000 SOLDIERS.  THIS IS THE EXACT SIZE OF THE 

EASTERN ARMY JOHN TELLS US ABOUT TO COME AGAINST 

ANTICHRIST.  THE TIME IS DEFINITELY AT HAND.  ANTICHRIST 

WILL SET UP HIS PALACE IN JERUSALEM.  OUR BLESSED HOPE, 

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL DESTROY HIM AND HIS ARMIES WITH 

THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORIOUS POWERFUL RETURN.



Daniel 12:1  PG 1242

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince 

which standeth for the children of thy people: and there 

shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there 

was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time 

thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be 

found written in the book.

WHO ARE DANIEL'S PEOPLE AT THE TIME OF THE END?  THEY ARE 

JEWS WHO KNOW MESSIAH JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR.  WHAT 

ABOUT NEBUCHADNEZZAR, CYRUS, AND NEBUZARADAN ARE THEY NOT 

ALSO DANIEL'S PEOPLE?  THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT JEWS BUT 

DANIEL WON THEM TO HIS GOD BY HIS WITNESS.  THEY TOO ARE 

DANIEL'S PEOPLE.  EVERYONE WHO SHALL BE FOUND WRITTEN IN 

THE BOOK SHALL BE DELIVERED.  WHAT BOOK IS THIS?  

Philippians 4:3 ......and [with] other my fellowlabourers, 

whose names [are] in the book of life.

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be 

clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name 

out of the book of life, but I will confess his name 

before my Father, and before his angels.

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall 

worship him, whose names are not written in the book of 

life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in 

the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it 

any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh 

abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

MUCH MORE THAN ISRAEL IS REFERRED TO IN THESE VERSES.  

WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT IN REALITY IS THE BODY OF CHRIST.  

JESUS SAID HE WOULD ALWAYS BE WITH US TILL THE END AND 

EVEN THE GATES OF HELL COULD NOT PREVAIL AGAINST HIS 

CHURCH.  WHEN ANY JEW ACCEPTS JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND 

LORD HE BECOMES PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST AND HIS NAME IS 

THEN ENTERED INTO THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE.  CHRISTIANS, 

SOMEHOW YOU MUST BE MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY AND 

PROBABILITY THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION.  IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF 

LIFE?  WILL THE GREAT TRIBULATION CAUSE IT TO BE BLOTTED 

OUT?  HOW WILL ANTICHRIST WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS?  YOU 

CAN'T VERY WELL WAGE WAR ON SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN RAPTURED 

OUT.  THE RAPTURE WILL OCCUR AT THE END OF THE GREAT 

TRIBULATION COINCIDENTALLY WITH THE GLORIOUS POWERFUL 

RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.  IS YOUR FAITH GREATER 

THAN YOUR FEAR OF TRIBULATION?  IS YOUR FAITH GROWING OR 

SHRINKING?  WILL YOU BE STRONG, COURAGEOUS, AND DO 

EXPLOITS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD BY THE POWER OF HIS HOLY 

SPIRIT?  WILL YOU BE SUCKED INTO THE GLOBAL NEW AGE 

GOVERNMENT AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF ANTICHRIST?



Daniel 12:2-4  PG 1242

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall 

awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] 

everlasting contempt.

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the 

firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the 

stars for ever and ever.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, 

[even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, 

and knowledge shall be increased.

THE APOSTLE PAUL TOLD ABOUT THIS MYSTERY WHEN THE DEAD IN 

CHRIST WOULD RISE.  IT HAPPENS AT THE TIME OF THE END JUST 

BEFORE THE RAPTURE COINCIDENT WITH OUR BLESSED HOPE THE 

POWERFUL GLORIOUS RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.  IT IS 

HIGH TIME TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING SOULS.  WE MAY BE 

THE FIRST IN FACT ONLY PEOPLE WHO COULD EVER FULLY 

UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE BOOK OF DANIEL.  DANIEL WAS TOLD TO 

SEAL UP THE BOOK UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END.  DON'T PUT TOO 

MUCH CONFIDENCE IN OLD COMMENTARIES ON DANIEL.  PARTS OF 

DANIEL'S BOOK WERE SEALED TO ALL BUT THOSE READING IT WHEN 

IT WAS THE TIME OF THE END.  READ IT FREQUENTLY FOR 

YOURSELF ASKING GOD BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO OPEN IT FOR YOU 

IF IT IS THE TIME OF THE END.  AT THE TIME OF THE END MANY 

SHALL RUN TO AND FRO AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED.  

THAT IS MORE TRUE TODAY THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN.



Daniel 12:8-12  PG 1242

And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, 

what [shall be] the end of these [things]?

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] 

closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the 

wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall 

understand; but the wise shall understand.

And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be 

taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set 

up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety 

days.

Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand 

three hundred and five and thirty days.

THE WORDS ARE CLOSED AND SEALED UP TILL THE TIME OF THE 

END.  WE ARE TO BE TRIED AND PERHAPS GIVE OUR LIFE TO TRY 

TO BRING PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THE WAY OF SALVATION.  WHEN 

ANTICHRIST SETS UP THE ABOMINATION IN THE TEMPLE THERE 

WILL BE 1290 DAYS.  GOD WOULD HAVE US NOT FEAR AND BE 

STRONG AND PATIENT IN TRIBULATION.









SEPT 25   EZRA 4 - 6                    PG 1242 - 1246



Ezra 4:14-15  PG 1244

Now because we have maintenance from [the king's] palace, 

and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, 

therefore have we sent and certified the king;

That search may be made in the book of the records of thy 

fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, 

and know that this city [is] a rebellious city, and 

hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved 

sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was 

this city destroyed.

THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE AREA OF JERUSALEM WERE FEARFUL OF 

THE JEWS.  EVERYONE HAD HEARD SOME REPORTS RELATIVE TO THE 

POWER OF THE GOD OF THE HEBREWS.  THAT IS WHY THESE PEOPLE 

WANTED TO HELP IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.  WHEN 

ZERUBBABEL RIGHTLY REFUSED THEIR HELP THEY SOUGHT TO STOP 

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.  THEY WROTE TO THE KING 

THAT THIS CITY WAS A REBELLIOUS CITY AND IF THE TEMPLE AND 

THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM WERE CONSTRUCTED THAT THE JEWS 

WOULD BE ABLE TO WAR AGAINST THE KING.



Ezra 4:21-22  PG 1244

Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and 

that this city be not builded, until [another] commandment 

shall be given from me.

Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should 

damage grow to the hurt of the kings?

THE KING WROTE BACK TO HAVE THEM STOP THE CONSTRUCTION OF 

THE TEMPLE.  THIS STOPPED THE ALREADY SLOW PROGRESS OF THE 

TEMPLE CONSTRUCTION.



Ezra 5:1-2  PG 1244 - 1245

Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the 

son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that [were] in Judah 

and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, [even] 

unto them.

Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua 

the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God 

which [is] at Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets 

of God helping them.

HAGGAI AND ZECHARIAH TOLD THE PEOPLE THAT GOD HAD NOT 

CHANGED HIS MIND REGARDING THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE IN 

JERUSALEM.  ZERUBBABEL STOOD UP TO LEAD THE JEWS TO BEGIN 

AGAIN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.  THE KING HAD 

ORDERED THE CONSTRUCTION TO STOP.  THERE DOES COME TIMES 

WHEN WE DO NEED TO OBEY GOD RATHER THAN OBEY THE 

GOVERNMENT.  WE SHOULD CAREFULLY STUDY HOW THE JEWS 

RESPONDED.  FIRST THERE WAS A NEW KING.  GOD ALLOWED THE 

CONSTRUCTION TO STOP UNTIL GOD REPLACED KING GUAMATA 

(ARTAXERXES) WITH KING DARIUS.  HE DID NOT SUBJECT HIS 

PEOPLE TO UNNECESSARY RISK ASSOCIATED WITH DIRECT 

CONFRONTATION WITH KING GUAMATA.



Ezra 5:13-15 & 17  PG 1245

But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon [the 

same] king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.

And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of 

God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that 

[was] in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of 

Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple 

of Babylon, and they were delivered unto [one], whose name 

[was] Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;

And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into 

the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and let the house of 

God be builded in his place.

Now therefore, if [it seem] good to the king, let there be 

search made in the king's treasure house, which [is] there 

at Babylon, whether it be [so], that a decree was made of 

Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, 

and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this 

matter.

THE JEWS TOLD THEIR ACCUSERS THAT KING CYRUS COMMISSIONED 

THEM TO BUILD THE TEMPLE.  THEIR ACCUSERS PROBABLY THOUGHT 

THIS WAS A LIE THAT WOULD CAUSE KING DARIUS TO WIPE THEM 

OUT.  IT WAS THE TRUTH.  THE NEW KING DID SEARCH THE 

RECORDS AND UPON FINDING THE JEWS WERE TELLING THEIR 

ACCUSERS THE TRUTH NOT ONLY ALLOWED THE CONSTRUCTION TO 

CONTINUE BUT ORDERED THE ACCUSERS NOT TO INTERFERE.  THE 

POINT HERE IS THAT IF THE AUTHORITY OVER YOU IS WRONG GOD 

WILL REMOVE THIS AUTHORITY AND WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL 

OF REBELLING AGAINST AUTHORITY.



Ezra 6:8-12  PG 1246

Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of 

these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of 

the king's goods, [even] of the tribute beyond the river, 

forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be 

not hindered.

And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and 

rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of 

heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the 

appointment of the priests which [are] at Jerusalem, let 

it be given them day by day without fail:

That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the 

God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of 

his sons.

Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this 

word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being 

set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be 

made a dunghill for this.

And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there 

destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand 

to alter [and] to destroy this house of God which [is] at 

Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done 

with speed.

THE JEW'S ACCUSERS EVEN HAD TO PAY THEM TO DO THE WORK.  

DO YOU SUPPOSE DANIEL HAD TALKED WITH DARIUS ABOUT GOD?









SEPT 26   HAGGAI 1 -2                   PG 1247 - 1250



Haggai 1:3-8  PG 1247

Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, 

saying,

[Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled 

houses, and this house [lie] waste?

Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your 

ways.

Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye 

have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with 

drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that 

earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with 

holes.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the 

house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be 

glorified, saith the LORD.

CONSIDER YOUR WAYS.  THE REAL REASON THAT THE TEMPLE 

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WAS DRAGGING IS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE 

WERE MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH BUILDING THEIR OWN HOUSES 

AND FARMS THAN IN BUILDING GOD'S TEMPLE.  THEY WERE SENT 

TO BUILD THE TEMPLE.  THEY COLLECTED MONEY FROM THEIR 

FRIENDS IN BABYLON AND FROM THE KING TO BUILD THE TEMPLE 

AND THEY WERE USING THESE FUNDS TO BUILD THEIR OWN HOUSES 

AND FARMS.  FOR THIS REASON GOD WOULD NOT ALLOW THEIR 

CROPS TO PROSPER.  THEY WERE ROBBING FROM GOD, THEIR 

FELLOW JEWS IN BABYLON, AND THE KING.  THEY WERE NOT 

KEEPING THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.  THIS IS ALWAYS JOB 

1 - KEEP THE MAIN THING THE MAIN THING.  AS A CHRISTIAN DO 

YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? 

WHAT IS THE MAIN THING FOR THE CHURCH TO DO?  THE MISSION 

OF THE CHURCH IS MISSIONS.  WE ARE TO COME TOGETHER TO 

ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER AND AS WE ARE ENCOURAGED WE BECOME 

BETTER EQUIPPED TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL WITH 

OUR NEIGHBORS.  WE ARE NOT A SOCIAL CLUB - WE ARE THE BODY 

OF CHRIST.  WE ARE ALSO TO RAISE MONEY TO SUPPORT 

MISSIONARIES AND THOSE WITHIN OUR FELLOWSHIP WHO ARE IN 

FINANCIAL NEED.  GOD IS THE SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD THING WE 

HAVE.  GOD EXPECTS US TO PUT A MINIMUM OF 10% OF OUR 

INCREASE INTO MISSIONS AND THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL.  IF 

YOU DON'T YOU ARE ROBBING FROM GOD.  IT IS NOT SMART TO 

STEAL FROM GOD.  IF YOU ARE GIVING AT LEAST 10% OF YOUR 

INCREASE TO GOD THEN YOU MAY TRUST HIM TO PROSPER YOU.  

OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WITH ALL 

FINANCIAL ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE.  YOU EARN WAGES AND THEY 

FALL THROUGH HOLES IN YOUR POCKETS FASTER THAN YOU CAN 

EARN IT.



Haggai 2:4-9  PG 1248

Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be 

strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be 

strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and 

work: for I [am] with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

[According to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye 

came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear 

ye not.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it [is] a 

little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, 

and the sea, and the dry [land];

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all 

nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, 

saith the LORD of hosts.

The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the 

LORD of hosts.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of 

the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place 

will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

BE STRONG, BE STRONG SAYS THE LORD AND WORK FOR GOD IS 

WITH YOU.  BECAUSE THE ALMIGHTY POWER OF GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT 

IS WITHIN US WE ARE STRONG AND WE SHOULD HAVE NO FEAR.  WE 

CAN CHOOSE NOT TO BELIEVE THIS AND BE WEAK WIMPS FROM WHOM 

SATAN WILL STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY.  WHAT WILL YOU DO?  

WILL YOU BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND CHOOSE TO LIVE A LIFE 

WITHOUT FEAR?  YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  

ARE YOU READING THE WORD OF GOD EVERY DAY AND GROWING IN 

GRACE, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, AND FAITH.  IS THE HOLY 

SPIRIT'S TEMPLE OF YOUR BODY STRONGER AND MORE GLORIOUS IN 

FAITH TODAY THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY?  ARE YOU NEGLECTING 

GOD'S WORD AND ALLOWING THE GLORIOUS FAITH IN GOD TO 

DIMINISH, AND WITHER?



Haggai 2:15  PG 1249

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, 

from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of 

the LORD:

THINK ABOUT IT EVERY DAY.  WE HAVE A CHOICE OF FAITH OR 

FEAR.  OUR FAITH WILL GROW IF WE FEED IT.  FAITH COMES BY 

HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.  FAITH MAY GROW BY 

TESTIMONIES, PREACHING, PRAYER AND MIRACLES.  IN THE LONG 

RUN THERE IS NO TRUE EASY SHORT CUT.  FAITH COMES BY 

HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.  PRAYER IS 

IMPORTANT.  WHEN WE PRAY WE TALK TO GOD.  YET GOD TALKS TO 

US WHEN WE READ HIS WORD.  IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE 

CONVERSATION A 2 WAY CONVERSATION.  IT IS MORE IMPORTANT 

FOR US TO HEAR FROM GOD THAN FOR GOD TO HEAR FROM US.  

MAKE IT A TOP PRIORITY IN YOUR LIFE TO READ GOD'S WORD 

EVERY DAY.



Haggai 2:17-19  PG 1249

I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in 

all the labours of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, 

saith the LORD.

Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and 

twentieth day of the ninth [month, even] from the day that 

the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider 

[it].

Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the 

fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath 

not brought forth: from this day will I bless [you].

FROM THIS DAY AND FROM NOW ON OUT GOD PROMISES TO BLESS 

YOU.  IS THERE ANY CONDITION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROMISE 

OF BLESSING?  THEY WERE PUTTING THEIR MONEY IN PURSES WITH 

HOLES IN THEM.  THEY WERE LOOSING IT FASTER THAN THEY 

COULD MAKE IT BECAUSE THEIR OWN PERSONAL PRIORITIES WERE 

MORE IMPORTANT THAN GOD'S PRIORITIES.  OBEDIENCE IS THE 

CONDITION OF BLESSING.  GOD DESERVES TOP PRIORITY IN OUR 

LIFE.  DOES HE HAVE TOP PRIORITY IN MY LIFE?  WE NEED TO 

THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY.  WILL I GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO 

TALK TO ME EVERY DAY BY READING HIS WORD?  GOD ONLY WANTS 

TO BLESS US.  WE CAN NOT TURN OUR BACKS ON GOD AND EXPECT 

TO BE BLESSED.  THIS DOES NOT MEAN OUR LIFE WILL BE 

TOTALLY FREE OF ANY PROBLEMS OR TRIALS.  IT DOES MEAN THAT 

GOD WILL BLESS US EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR LOSS, OUR 

GRIEF, AND OUR TRIALS.  HE WILL BE WITH US AND BRING US 

THROUGH THE TRIAL.







SEPT 27   ZECHARIAH 1 - 6               PG 1250 - 1254



Zechariah 1:14-16

So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, 

saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for 

Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

And I am very sore displeased with the heathen [that are] 

at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they 

helped forward the affliction.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem 

with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the 

LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon 

Jerusalem.

GOD LOVES THE JEWS.  THE JEWS ARE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.  

GOD CHOOSE TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH THE 

JEWS.  JESUS IS A JEW.  GOD ALWAYS WILL BLESS THOSE WHO 

BLESS THE JEWS AND CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE THE JEWS.  GOD IS 

AGAIN WITH THE NATION OF ISRAEL TO FIGHT THEIR BATTLES.  

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TENDER HEART TOWARD THE JEWS, PRAY AND 

ASK GOD TO HEAL YOU.  JESUS WILL RULE THE WORLD IN 

RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR A 1000 YEARS FROM HIS THRONE IN 

JERUSALEM.



Zechariah 2:4-5  PG 1251

And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, 

Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for 

the multitude of men and cattle therein:

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire 

round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

GOD IS DEFENDING AND PROSPERING ISRAEL.  ISRAEL'S ARMY IS 

THE ONLY UNDEFEATABLE ARMY IN THE WORLD TODAY.  GOD IS ON 

THE SIDE OF ISRAEL AND IF YOU ARE AGAINST ISRAEL YOU ARE 

GOING AGAINST GOD.



Zechariah 2:7-11  PG 1251

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter 

of Babylon.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he 

sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that 

toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they 

shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that 

the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and 

I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.

And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, 

and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of

thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent 

me unto thee.

WHO EVER GOES AGAINST ISRAEL GOES AGAINST THE APPLE OF 

GOD'S EYE.  GOD TELLS HIS PEOPLE TO FLEE BABYLON AND 

RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND.  REMEMBER THE WORD BABYLON MEANS 

TYRANNY AND CONFUSION.  IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE 

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OF AMERICA'S NATIONAL LEADERSHIP 

TODAY YOU WILL SEE THE TYRANNY AND CONFUSION OF BABYLON.  

WOE TO AMERICA IF THIS NATION EVER FAILS TO CONTINUE 

SUPPORTING ISRAEL.  ISRAEL IS AMERICA'S BEST AND ONLY 

SIGNIFICANT ALLY.



Zechariah 3:1-2  PG 1252

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before 

the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right 

hand to resist him.

And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O 

Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke 

thee: [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

IT IS NOT COINCIDENCE THAT JOSHUA WAS HIGH PRIEST.  THE 

NAME JOSHUA IN HEBREW MEANS JEHOVAH SAVES.  THE NAME JESUS 

IN HEBREW IS JOSHUA.  JEHOVAH SAVES US.  WE CANNOT SAVE 

OURSELVES.  THIS IS MESSIANIC PROPHESY.  JESUS CHRIST THE 

ANOINTED HIGH PRIEST MESSIAH IS STILL BEING OPPOSED BY 

SATAN.  ISRAEL HAD BEEN SAVED OUT OF THE FIRE OF THE 

BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY.  WILL YOU ALLOW JESUS TO RESCUE YOU 

FROM THE TYRANNY AND CONFUSION THAT YOU WILL HAVE WITHOUT 

HAVING JESUS CHRIST AS LORD OF YOUR LIFE?  SATAN IS THE 

ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN.  ALL OF HIS ACCUSATION BECOMES 

NULL AND VOID WHEN WE ARE COVERED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS 

AND GOD WILL PASS OVER US IN JUDGMENT AND SHOW US HIS 

INFINITE MERCY.  PRAISE THE LORD!



Zechariah 3:8-9  PG 1252

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows 

that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, 

behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon 

one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave 

the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will 

remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

JOSHUA (JESUS) IS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST AND KING.  JESUS 

IS THE BRANCH OF DAVID. Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come 

forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall 

grow out of his roots:  Jeremiah 23:5-6  Behold, the days 

come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a 

righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and 

shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.  In his 

days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: 

and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE 

LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  Jeremiah 33:15  In those days, 

and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness 

to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and 

righteousness in the land.

JESUS IS THE BRANCH.  IN ONE DAY ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED.  

THEY WILL BE SAVED THE SAME WAY THAT EVERYONE ELSE GETS 

SAVED - BY ACCEPTING JESUS AS SAVIOR AND LORD OF THEIR 

LIFE.  JESUS IS THE PRECIOUS CORNER STONE, THE STUMBLING 

STONE, THE ROCK OF OFFENSE, THE GREAT STONE CUT WITHOUT 

HANDS TO COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO SMASH THE WORLD 

GOVERNMENT AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM OF ANTICHRIST.



Zechariah 4:6   PG 1252

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the 

word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, 

nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

IF YOU WANT TO BE STRONG AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE POWER 

NEVER FORGET THAT IT WILL NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED BY OUR OWN 

MIGHT OR BY OUR OWN POWER.  REMEMBER THAT IT WILL BE 

ACCOMPLISHED BY THE AWESOME POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF 

GOD.



Zechariah 5:7 & 10 - 11  PG 1253

And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and 

this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do 

these bear the ephah?

And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of 

Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon 

her own base.

WICKEDNESS IS PERSONIFIED AS A WOMAN IN A BASKET, MYSTERY 

BABYLON, THE WHORE WHO CAUSED PEOPLE TO TURN AWAY FROM THE 

TRUE GOD TO THE FALSE GODS OF SELF AND/OR ANTICHRIST.



Zechariah 6:11-13  PG 1254

Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them] 

upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high 

priest;

And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of 

hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; 

and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build 

the temple of the LORD:

Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall 

bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; 

and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel 

of peace shall be between them both.

JOSHUA (JESUS) THE HIGH PRIEST WILL ALSO BE CROWNED KING 

OF KINGS.  JESUS IS THE MAN WHOSE NAME IS THE BRANCH.  

JESUS ESTABLISHED HIS CHURCH WHICH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST.  

SOME DAY ALL JEWS WILL BECOME PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.  

INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY WE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD'S 

HOLY SPIRIT.  JESUS WILL SET UP HIS THRONE IN AWESOME 

POWER AND GLORY AS THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST AND KING OF KINGS 

TO BRING EVERLASTING PEACE AND JOY.







SEPT 28   ZECHARIAH 7 - 8,  EZRA 6      PG 1255 - 1257



Zechariah 7:9-10  PG 1255

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true 

judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his 

brother:

And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the 

stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil 

against his brother in your heart.

WHAT DOES GOD WANT US TO DO?  DON'T IMAGINE EVIL IN YOUR 

HEART AGAINST YOUR BROTHER.  DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD 

HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.  AS GOD IS MERCIFUL AND 

COMPASSIONATE TO YOU, BEING GODLY MEANS THAT YOU ARE 

MERCIFUL AND COMPASSIONATE TO YOUR BROTHERS.  HELPING THE 

POOR, WIDOWS AND ORPHANS GREATLY PLEASES GOD.



Zechariah 7:12-13  PG 1255

Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest 

they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of 

hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: 

therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, and they 

would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith 

the LORD of hosts:

WHEN WE HARDEN OUR HEARTS AGAINST GOD'S WORD AND REFUSE TO 

LISTEN TO HIM WE ARE ASKING FOR BIG TROUBLE.  THERE CAN 

EVEN COME A TIME WHEN WE CRY TO HIM AND HE CHOOSES NOT TO 

HEAR US.  NOTHING COULD BE WORSE.  THAT SOUNDS LIKE HELL.



Zechariah 8:7-8  PG 1256

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my 

people from the east country, and from the west country;

And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst 

of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be 

their God, in truth and in righteousness.

WE ARE WATCHING THIS PROPHESY BEING FULFILLED BEFORE US.  

GOD IS REGATHERING JEWS FROM THEIR DISPERSION TO THEIR 

HOMELAND.  THEY ARE DWELLING AGAIN IN JERUSALEM AFTER 

ALMOST 2000 YEARS OF DISPERSION.



Zechariah 8:16-17  PG 1256

These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every 

man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of 

truth and peace in your gates:

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against 

his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are 

things] that I hate, saith the LORD.

SPEAK THE TRUTH.  LOVE PEACE AND TRUTH.  THINK GOOD THINGS 

ABOUT OTHERS.  GOD HATES FALSE WITNESSES AND STINKING 

THINKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.



Ezra 6:14   PG 1247

And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered 

through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and 

Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished 

[it], according to the commandment of the God of Israel, 

and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and 

Artaxerxes king of Persia.

WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE PROPHETS HAGGAI AND 

ZECHARIAH THE PEOPLE GOT BUSY WITH GOD'S WORK AND FINISHED 

IT.  IT IS IMPLIED THAT ONCE THEY STOPPED WORKING ON THEIR 

OWN INTERESTS AND STARTED DOING WHAT GOD HAD ASKED THEM TO 

DO THAT GOD PROSPERED THEIR HOMES AND CROPS.









SEPT 29   PSALM 78                      PG 1258 - 1261



Psalms 78:3-8  PG 1258

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told 

us.

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.

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:

That the generation to come might know [them, even] the 

children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and 

declare [them] to their children:

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the 

works of God, but keep his commandments:

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.

IT IS THE FATHERS WHO ARE CHARGED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY 

BEFORE GOD TO EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT GOD'S MIGHTY 

POWER, HIS WONDERFUL WORKS, HIS LAW, HIS GRACE, HIS LOVE, 

AND HIS MERCY.  THAT IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE BEHIND THESE 

MANUSCRIPTS.  F. LaGARD SMITH'S DAILY BIBLE IN 

CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER GIVES AN IDEAL WAY TO HAVE FAMILY 

DEVOTIONS WHERE THE FATHER MAY LEAD A DISCUSSION OF THE 

DAILY READING.



Psalms 78:18-19   PG 1259

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for 

their lust.

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a 

table in the wilderness?

HOW DO WE TEMPT GOD?  OUR FAITH AND TRUST IN GOD PLEASES 

HIM.  WHEN WE GRUMBLE AND COMPLAIN IT IS NOT PLEASING TO 

GOD OR ANYONE ELSE AROUND US.  IT IS SO EASY TO FIND FAULT 

AND COMPLAIN.  IT IS HARD WORK AND REQUIRES MENTAL 

DISCIPLINE TO FIND VIRTUE.  Philippians 4:8 Finally, 

brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things 

[are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever 

things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, 

whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any 

virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these 

things.  THIS IS A TREMENDOUS VERSE TO MEMORIZE AND MAKE A 

PART OF YOUR LIFE.  IT WILL KEEP YOU FROM TEMPTING GOD.  

IT WILL CAUSE YOUR FAITH TO INCREASE BECAUSE GOD IS THE 

SOURCE OF EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT.  IT WILL HELP YOU 

TO BE HAPPY REGARDLESS OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.



Psalms 78:32-39  PG 1259 - 1260

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his 

wondrous works.

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their 

years in trouble.

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned 

and inquired early after God.

And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the 

high God their redeemer.

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and 

they lied unto him with their tongues.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they 

stedfast in his covenant.

But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their] 

iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time 

turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his 

wrath.

For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that 

passeth away, and cometh not again.

THIS IS NOT JUST A COMMENTARY ON THE JEWS CONDITION AS 

THEY WERE BEING LED BY MOSES IN THE DESERT.  IT IS THE 

HUMAN CONDITION OF ALL WHO DO NOT PLACE GOD FIRST IN THEIR 

LIFE.  NOT EVEN THE ATHEIST CAN PLEAD IGNORANCE OF GOD'S 

WONDROUS MIGHTY POWER.  THE EVIDENCE OF THE CREATION IS 

EVIDENCE OF THE CREATOR.  ONE MUST BE WILLFULLY IGNORANT 

OF GOD'S POWER.  EVEN THOSE WHO KNOW AND ACKNOWLEDGE GOD 

UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT SEEK GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEART UNTIL 

THEY ARE IN TROUBLE.  HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRAY?  DO YOU ALLOW 

GOD TO TALK TO YOU BY READING HIS WORD EVERY DAY?  WITHOUT 

GOD HAVING PRIORITY IN A LIFE, THAT LIFE WILL BE CONSUMED 

IN VANITY AND TROUBLE OF ONE FORM OR ANOTHER.  WHEN GOD 

DOES HAVE PRIORITY IN A LIFE THAT LIFE TAKES ON AN ETERNAL 

SIGNIFICANCE AS GOD IS GLORIFIED BY THAT LIFE.  GOD'S 

GLORY OR YOUR OWN GLORY - WHICH HAS TOP PRIORITY IN YOUR 

LIFE?







SEPT 30   PSALM 107, 116, 118, 125      PG 1261 - 1266



Psalms 107:1   PG 1261

O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his 

mercy [endureth] for ever.

IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS 

AND HIS EVERLASTING MERCY.



Psalms 107:8-9  PG 1261 -1262

Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, 

and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry 

soul with goodness.

WHEN YOU GET DOWN - PRAISE THE LORD!  WHEN THINGS ARE 

GOING GREAT - PRAISE THE LORD!  LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS 

BREATH PRAISE THE LORD.  YOU WILL FEEL BETTER REGARDLESS 

OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN YOU PRAISE THE LORD!



Psalms 116:1-2  PG 1263

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my 

supplications.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I 

call upon [him] as long as I live.

GOD HEARS OUR PRAYERS.  HE KNOWS OUR EVERY THOUGHT.



Psalms 116:15  PG 1264

Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his 

saints.

SAINTS HAVE BEEN MARTYRED THROUGHOUT HISTORY.  ANTICHRIST 

WILL BE GIVEN POWER TO WAGE WAR ON THE SAINTS.  WHEN 

SAINTS ARE PUT TO DEATH BECAUSES OF THEIR FAITH IN GOD YOU 

MAY BE VERY CERTAIN THAT IT IS NOT BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T 

CARE.  THE HIGHEST CALLING OF ANY SAINT IS TO BE COUNTED 

WORTHY TO SUFFER AND EVEN DIE FOR THEIR FAITH IN GOD.  HOW 

STRONG IS YOUR FAITH IN GOD?



Psalms 118:6-10  PG 1264

The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do 

unto me?

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore 

shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence 

in man.

[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence 

in princes.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the 

LORD will I destroy them.

The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my 

salvation.

IF GOD IS FOR YOU NO ONE CAN STAND AGAINST YOU.  THERE IS 

NO REASON FOR FEAR IF GOD IS FOR YOU.  IT IS BETTER TO PUT 

YOUR TRUST IN GOD RATHER THAN TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN MAN.  

IT IS BETTER TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO PUT 

CONFIDENCE IN PRINCES.  IT IS SAD TO SEE HOW AMERICA'S 

TRUST IN GOD IS BEING PUT IN THE GOVERNMENT.  AMERICA'S 

MONEY SAYS "IN GOD WE TRUST".  AMERICA'S POLITICAL AND 

EDUCATIONAL LEADERS HAVE TRIED TO REPLACE THE PEOPLE'S 

FAITH IN GOD WITH A FAITH IN GOVERNMENT.  MOST OF 

AMERICA'S POLITICAL AND EDUCATIONAL LEADERS WOULD HAVE 

AMERICA'S MONEY SAY "WE TRUST IN GOVERNMENT".   WHO DO YOU 

TRUST?   IS THE LORD YOUR STRENGTH?  IS THE LORD YOUR 

SALVATION?



Psalms 118:22-24  PG 1265

The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head 

[stone] of the corner.

This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes.

This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will 

rejoice and be glad in it.

JESUS IS THE HEAD CORNERSTONE WHOM THE BUILDERS HAVE 

REFUSED.  IT IS MARVELOUS HOW GOD HAS PAID THE PRICE OF 

OUR REDEMPTION THROUGH THE SACRIFICE WHICH JESUS CHRIST 

MADE FOR US ALL ON CALVERY.  WHEN YOU SEE HOW MANY 

DETAILED MESSIANIC PROPHESY SCRIPTURES WHICH JESUS 

FULFILLED IT IS A WONDER WHY THE HEAD CORNERSTONE IS STILL 

A STUMBLING STONE TO SO MANY JEWS.  ONE DAY, HOWEVER, ALL 

ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED.  GOD MAKES EVERY DAY IN WHICH WE CAN 

EITHER CHOOSE TO REJOICE AND BE GLAD OR CHOOSE NOT TO BE 

JOYFUL.  IT IS A CHOICE.  THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR 

STRENGTH.





OCT 1   PSALM 126, 128, 129, 132, 147    PG 1266 - 1269



Psalms 126:5-6  PG1266

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, 

shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his 

sheaves [with him].

IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL 

SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH 

JESUS CHRIST.  DOES IT MAKE YOU SAD THAT THERE ARE THOSE 

WHO DO NOT KNOW THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL?  THE GOSPEL 

IS PRECIOUS SEED INDEED.  THE ONLY THING WE CAN TAKE OUT 

OF THIS WORLD IS THOSE TO WHOM WE HAVE SHARED THE GOOD 

NEWS.  HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU INTRODUCED TO JESUS?  IS 

IT JUST A STALK OR TWO OR IS IT SHEAVES?



Psalms 132:11   PG 1267

The LORD hath sworn [in] truth unto David; he will not 

turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy 

throne.

GOD WILL SET DESCENDANTS OF DAVID ON THE THRONE OF ISRAEL.  

IT IS NOT JUST SOLOMON, REHOBOAM, ABIJAH, ASA, 

JEHOSHAPHAT, ETC., MOST SPECIFICALLY IT IS JESUS CHRIST TO 

WHOM THIS VERSE REFERS.  JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK TO 

RULE THE WORLD FROM THIS THRONE IN JERUSALEM.



Psalms 147:6   PG 1268

The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down 

to the ground.

WHAT DOES MEEK MEAN?  IT IS SAD TO SEE HOW SOME NEW 

DICTIONARIES ARE CHANGING THE MEANING OF THIS WORD FROM A 

WORD OF STRENGTH TO A WORD OF WEAKNESS IN SOME OF THE 

SECONDARY DEFINITIONS.  MEEKNESS IS NOT WEAKNESS.  TO BE 

MEEK IS TO ENDURE INJURY WITH PATIENCE AND WITHOUT 

RESENTMENT.  THIS REQUIRES TREMENDOUS STRENGTH.  WHEN WE 

WILL ENDURE THE INJURIES THAT OTHERS PUT UPON US WITHOUT 

RESENTMENT GOD WILL LIFT US UP.



Psalms 147:11   PG 1268

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those 

that hope in his mercy.

GOD IS PLEASED BY THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.  WHAT DOES IT MEAN 

TO FEAR THE LORD?  THIS IS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT BUT ALSO 

VERY IMPORTANT.  ONE WOULD INDEED BE A FOOL TO LOOK AT THE 

CREATION AND NOT FEAR THE POWER OF THE CREATOR.  YET FEAR 

IS THE BIG GUN OF OUR ADVERSARY, LUCIFER.  GOD CERTAINLY 

DOES NOT WANT US TO FEAR.  GOD WANTS US TO LIVE BY FAITH 

AND TRUST IN HIM.  GOD WANTS US TO LIVE COMPLETELY FREE OF 

FEAR.  WHAT THEN DOES IT MEAN TO FEAR THE LORD?  BETTER 

WORDS WOULD BE AWE, ADMIRATION, REVERE, ADORE, VENERATE, 

REGARD, AND WORSHIP.  TO FEAR GOD MEANS TO REGARD GOD 

WORTHY OF GREAT HONOR, TO ADORE HIM, TO WORSHIP HIM, AND 

TO PROFOUNDLY ADMIRE AND RESPECT GOD.  GOD IS PLEASED WHEN 

WE SHOW TRUST IN HIM.

Psalms 147:19-20   PG 1268

He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his 

judgments unto Israel.

He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his] 

judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO THE WORLD THROUGH HIS WRITTEN 

WORD AND HIS PRECIOUS LIVING WORD VIA ISRAEL.  ALL THE 

WORLD IS INDEBTED TO ISRAEL FOR THEIR PRESERVATION AND 

CARE OF HIS HOLY WRITTEN WORD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.  ALSO 

IT WAS PART OF GOD'S PLAN FOR ISRAEL TO PARTICIPATE IN 

GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION.  HAD THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD 

KNOWN, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY.  

THE DESIGNATED HIGH PRIEST OF ISRAEL PASSED THE JUDGMENT 

WHICH WAS REQUIRED FOR THE PRICE OF OUR REDEMPTION TO BE 

PAID.  WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE HIGH PRIEST OF ISRAEL 

HAD TO DO WHAT HE DID TO BE IN ACCORD WITH GOD'S PLAN OF 

REDEMPTION.  THIS SAME MESSIAH AND LORD WILLINGLY GAVE HIS 

LIFE AND POURED OUT HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD TO PAY THE PRICE TO 

REDEEM EVERY ONE OF US FROM HELL.  THE SAD PART IS THAT 

THE NATION OF ISRAEL HAS NEVER FIGURED OUT THAT THIS 

PRECIOUS LAMB OF GOD WHOM THEY DELIVERED TO PAY THE ONCE 

FOR ALL SACRIFICE PAID THE REQUIRED PRICE FOR THEM TOO.  

SOME DAY, PERHAPS SOON, THEY TOO WILL FIGURE IT OUR.







OCT 2   ZECHARIAH 9 - 14                 PG 1269 - 1276



Zechariah 9:9   PG 1270

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of 

Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] 

just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, 

and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

WHAT IS ZECHARIAH TALKING ABOUT?  HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE 

FIRST PALM SUNDAY.  John 12:12-15  On the next day much 

people that were come to the feast, when they heard that 

Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm 

trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: 

Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of 

the Lord.  Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat 

thereon; as it is written,  Fear not, daughter of Sion: 

behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.  THE 

PEOPLE OF JERUSALEM WERE RECEIVING THEIR KING AS HE 

ENTERED THE CITY RIDING ON THE FOAL OF AN ASS.  THEY WERE 

REJOICING GREATLY.  THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WHO SHOULD HAVE 

KNOWN BETTER TOLD JESUS TO REBUKE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE 

REJOICING OVER HIM AS THEIR KING.  Luke 19:39-40 And some 

of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, 

Master, rebuke thy disciples.  And he answered and said 

unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their 

peace, the stones would immediately cry out.  THE PROPHET 

ZECHARIAH HAD SAID MESSIAH WOULD CAUSE THE PEOPLE OF 

JERUSALEM TO GREATLY REJOICE WHEN THEY SAW THEIR KING 

ENTERING THE CITY RIDING ON THE FOAL OF AN ASS.  BECAUSE 

THE WORD OF GOD IS ALWAYS TRUE JESUS TELLS THEM THAT EVEN 

IF THE PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE REJOICING AT THAT TIME THE VERY 

ROCKS WOULD IMMEDIATELY TAKE UP THE REJOICING.  THE WORD 

OF GOD IS ALWAYS TRUE.



Zechariah 10:3-4   PG 1271-1272

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I 

punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his 

flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly 

horse in the battle.

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out 

of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor 

together.

THOSE WHO ARE CHARGED WITH THE CARE OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD 

HAD BETTER TAKE SUCH WORK MOST SERIOUSLY.  MANY TIMES WE 

SEE IN SCRIPTURE HOW GOD'S ANGER IS KINDLED AGAINST 

PASTORS WHO DO NOT GENUINELY CARE FOR THEIR FLOCK.  WE 

ALSO SEE MORE MESSIANIC PROPHESY WHICH JESUS WILL FULFILL.  

JESUS IS THE CHIEFTAIN (CORNER) WHO WILL DESTROY ALL OF 

ISRAEL'S OPPRESSORS AND THE ARMIES OF ANTICHRIST WITH THE 

BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORIOUS RETURN AS KING OF KINGS AND 

LORD OF LORDS.



Zechariah 11:4-5   PG 1273

Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the 

slaughter;

Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not 

guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the 

LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them 

not.

THE JEWS HAVE BEEN DISPERSED FOR OVER 2000 YEARS.  OTHER 

PEOPLE HAVE POSSESSED THEM AND KILLED THEM AND MADE THEM 

SLAVES.  EVEN THEIR OWN SHEPHERDS HAVE NOT HAD PITY ON 

THEM.  THERE IS A WARNING HERE AGAINST ANYONE WHO WOULD 

MISTREAT OR FAIL TO HELP THE JEWS.  THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER 

WARNING TO PASTORS THAT THEY MUST BE GENUINELY CONCERNED 

WITH THE WELFARE OF THEIR FLOCK.



Zechariah 11:12-13  PG 1273

And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my 

price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price 

thirty [pieces] of silver.

And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a 

goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the 

thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in 

the house of the LORD.

THE PRICE JUDAS WAS PAID FOR JUDAS TO DELIVER JESUS TO BE 

KILLED WAS 30 PIECES OF SILVER. Matthew 26:14-15 Then one 

of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief 

priests,  And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and 

I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him 

for thirty pieces of silver.  Matthew 27:3-10 Then Judas, 

which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, 

repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of 

silver to the chief priests and elders,  Saying, I have 

sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And 

they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].  And 

he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and 

departed, and went and hanged himself.  And the chief 

priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful 

for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price 

of blood.  And they took counsel, and bought with them the 

Potter's field, to bury strangers in.  Wherefore that 

field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.  Then 

was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, 

saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the 

price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of 

Israel did value;  And gave them for the Potter's field, 

as the Lord appointed me.  ONE HAS TO WONDER HOW JESUS 

REMAINS A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE JEWS WITH SUCH SCRIPTURES 

AS THESE.



Zechariah 11:17  PG 1273

Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword 

[shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm 

shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be 

utterly darkened.

WHEN THE LORD SAYS WOE IT IS VERY SERIOUS.  PASTORS HAVE A 

VERY SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE FOR THE FLOCK GOD 

PLACES IN THEIR HANDS.

Zechariah 12:2-5  PG 1273-1274

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all 

the people round about, when they shall be in the siege 

both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone 

for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall 

be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be 

gathered together against it.

In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with 

astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open 

mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every 

horse of the people with blindness.

And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The 

inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the 

LORD of hosts their God.

GOD SAID THAT WHEN RUSSIA AND ALL OF HER VAST ARMY INVADES 

ISRAEL THAT GOD HIMSELF WOULD WIPE OUT 5 OF 6 OF EVERY ONE 

OF THEIR SOLDIERS.  THIS SUPERNATURAL DESTRUCTION WOULD BE 

SO THAT THE WORLD WOULD KNOW THAT THE GOD OF ISRAEL IS 

ALMIGHTY GOD.  THESE VERSES MAY GIVE INSIGHT INTO THE TYPE 

OF DESTRUCTION WHICH GOD WILL USE.  IT WILL BE A CALVARY 

INVASION.  RUSSIA HAS BEEN BUYING HORSES FOR YEARS.  THE 

HORSES WILL BE STRUCK WITH BLINDNESS AND THE RIDERS WITH 

MADNESS.  THEY WILL LIKELY KILL EACH OTHER.  IT WILL TAKE 

7 MONTHS TO BURY THEM ALL.



Zechariah 12:10   PG 1274

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the 

inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of 

supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have 

pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourn for 

[his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as 

one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.

HERE IS PERHAPS THE MOST BLESSED OF THE PROMISES TO 

ISRAEL.  IN ONE DAY ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED AS THEY LOOK 

UPON JESUS WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED AND MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE 

THAT IS IN BITTERNESS FOR HIS FIRSTBORN.



Zechariah 13:1   PG1274

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house 

of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and 

for uncleanness.

IN THAT DAY THEY SHALL ALL BE CLEANSED FROM THEIR SINS AS 

WE ALL ARE CLEANSED FROM OUR SINS.  WHAT IS THIS AMAZING 

FOUNTAIN?  NOTHING OTHER THAN THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS 

WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN SHED TO CLEANSE EVERYONE WHO WILL 

ONLY RECEIVE THIS PARDON FROM JESUS.



Zechariah 13:9   PG 1275

And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will 

refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as 

gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear 

them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, 

The LORD [is] my God.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE IS REFERRED TO IN THIS VERSE?

THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF TRIBULATION.  TO REFINE THE SAINTS 

AS GOLD AND SILVER ARE REFINED BY THE FIRES SO ARE THE 

SAINTS REFINED BY THE FIRES OF TRIBULATION.



Zechariah 14:3-7  1275

Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those 

nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of 

Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the 

mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward 

the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very 

great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward 

the north, and half of it toward the south.

And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for 

the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye 

shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in 

the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God 

shall come, [and] all the saints with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the light 

shall not be clear, [nor] dark:

But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, 

not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, [that] at 

evening time it shall be light.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN IN GREAT POWER AND GLORY 

AND WITH HIS WORDS WILL TOTALLY DESTROY THE ARMIES OF 

ANTICHRIST ASSEMBLED IN THE VALLEY OF MEGEDDO.  HE SHALL 

TOUCH THE EARTH ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES WHICH WILL BE SPLIT 

BY A GREAT EARTHQUAKE.  THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL BE A DAY 

LIKE NO OTHER EVER.  HIS GLORY SHALL LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS 

OF THE THICK CLOUDS THAT DAY.



Zechariah 14:9   PG 1275

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day 

shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

JESUS WILL THEN BEGIN HIS REIGN AS KING OVER ALL THE 

EARTH.



Zechariah 14:12-13  PG 1275

And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite 

all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their 

flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, 

and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and 

their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a great 

tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall 

lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his 

hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR A NUCLEAR PHYSICIST TO GIVE A 

MORE GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF HOW A HUMAN BODY CAN BE 

CONSUMED BY NUCLEAR RADIATION.  THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO 

UNDERSTAND UNTIL OUR GENERATION.





Zechariah 14:16-17  PG 1275

And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left 

of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even 

go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of 

hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all] 

the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the 

King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

ALL NATIONS WILL COME TO WORSHIP THE LORD IN JERUSALEM.









OCT 3   ESTHER 1 - 4                     PG 1276 - 1280



ESTHER IS ONE OF EVERYONE'S FAVORITE STORIES IN ALL OF THE 

OLD TESTAMENT.  AS YOU READ IT YOU WILL SEE HOW VASHTI MAY 

BE REGARDED AS THE MOTHER OF THE WOMEN'S LIBERATION 

MOVEMENT.  ESTHER SHOWS HOW THROUGH GRACE, CHARM, AND 

COURAGE THAT ONE WOMAN WAS ABLE TO SAVE AN ENTIRE NATION.







OCT 4   ESTHER 5 - 10                    PG 1281 - 1285



HAMAN'S HATRED FOR MORDECAI DOES HIM IN.  THIS STORY 

ILLUSTRATES GOD'S WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR AND HOW HE 

CAUSES WHAT GOES AROUND TO COME AROUND.  IT WILL BE ONE OF 

YOUR FAVORITE STORIES FOR JUST GOOD FUN LIGHT ENCOURAGING 

READING.







OCT 5   MALICHI                          PG 1287 - 1290



Malachi 1:1-2  PG 1287

The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast 

thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the 

LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

MALACHI IS A SHORT BOOK NORMALLY FOUND AT THE END OF THE 

OLD TESTAMENT IN YOUR BIBLE.  MALICHI GIVES PERHAPS THE 

BEST TEACHING TO US REGARDING TWO VERY DIFFICULT TOPICS OF 

DIVORCE AND TITHING.  HIS DISTINCTIVE QUESTION AND ANSWER 

STYLE POWERFULLY ILLUSTRATES GOD'S PERSPECTIVE ON THESE 

TWO TOPICS.  VERSES TO COMMIT TO MEMORY FROM MALICHI ARE 

2:16 AND 3:8-10.



Malachi 1:6-8  PG 1287

A son honoureth [his] father, and a servant his master: if 

then I [be] a father, where [is] mine honour? and if I 

[be] a master, where [is] my fear? saith the LORD of hosts 

unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, 

Wherein have we despised thy name?

Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, 

Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table 

of the LORD [is] contemptible.

And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil? 

and if ye offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? offer 

it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or 

accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.

A SON HONORS HIS FATHER AND A SERVANT HIS MASTER BUT YOU 

PRIESTS DESPISE GOD'S NAME.  HOW?  BY BRINGING SPOILED AND 

LAME AND SICK OFFERINGS.  WHAT WOULD THE GOVERNOR SAY IF 

YOU BROUGHT HIM SUCH GIFTS?  GOD DESERVES OUR BEST.



Malachi 2:13-16  PG 1289

And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the 

LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, 

insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or 

receiveth [it] with good will at your hand.

Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness 

between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou 

hast dealt treacherously: yet [is] she thy companion, and 

the wife of thy covenant.

And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the 

spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly 

seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none 

deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth 

putting away: for [one] covereth violence with his 

garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to 

your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

THE LORD GOD HATES DIVORCE?  WHY?  NOT ONLY IS TREACHERY 

AND BROKEN VOWS ALWAYS INVOLVED; BUT, CHILDREN BECOME THE 

VICTIMS.  THE PARENTS FIGHT EACH OTHER BY TEARING THE 

HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN.  THE TRUE PARENT WILL OFTEN BE THE 

ONE TO ALLOW THE OTHER TO HAVE THE CHILDREN.  SEE 1 KINGS 

3:24-27.  THE LOVING PARENT WILL ALLOW THE OTHER TO HAVE 

THE CHILDREN SO THAT THE CHILDREN ARE NOT TORN.  HOW IT 

HURTS.  BUT GOD CAN GIVE GRACE TO COMFORT IN SUCH 

SITUATIONS.  DIVORCE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO CHRISTIANS.  YET 

IT DOES HAPPEN AND IT IS NOT THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.  TWO OF 

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND MOST TALENTED OF GOD'S CHILDREN 

WILL BE SCARRED FOR LIFE BECAUSE I COULD NOT MAKE THE 

MARRIAGE WITH THEIR MOTHER WORK.  THEY HAVE NO 

EXPERIENTIAL UNDERSTANDING OF A FATHER'S LOVE BECAUSE OF 

THE BROKEN FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.  IT TAKES 2 TO MAKE A 

MARRIAGE AND ONLY 1 TO MAKE A DIVORCE.  THE CHILDREN ARE 

ALWAYS THE MOST DAMAGED VICTIMS.  PARENTS IN A DIVORCE 

SITUATION NEED TO DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO SHIELD 

THE CHILDREN FROM THE HURT AND TEARING OF THEIR HEARTS.



Malachi 3:2   PG 1288

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall 

stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's 

fire, and like fullers' soap:

WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO ABIDE AND STAND IN THE DAY OF HIS 

COMING?  WILL HIS APPEARANCE CAUSE YOU JOY OR DREAD?



Malachi 3:5-6  PG 1289

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a 

swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the 

adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those 

that oppress the hireling in [his] wages, the widow, and 

the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his 

right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of 

Jacob are not consumed.

OFTEN AMERICAN JUSTICE MAY BE SUMMARIZED BY WHO CAN AFFORD 

THE BEST LAWYER.  BUT THERE IS A JUDGE WHO ALWAYS JUDGES 

RIGHTLY.  IF JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR ADVOCATE WITH THIS JUDGE 

THE IS CASE DISMISSED.  IF NOT, IT IS HELL TO PAY.  GOD IS 

GOD AND HE DOES NOT CHANGE.



Malachi 3:8-11  PG 1289

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, 

Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, 

[even] this whole nation.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there 

may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, 

saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the 

windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that 

[there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he 

shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall 

your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, 

saith the LORD of hosts.

HOW DO YOU ROB GOD?  IF YOU DON'T GIVE HIM THE TOP 10% YOU 

ARE ROBBING HIM.  THAT IS STUPID.  IF YOU ARE GOING TO ROB 

SOMEONE DON'T PICK ON SOMEONE WITH THE POWER TO CREATE OR 

DESTROY THE UNIVERSE.  THE TITHES PREDATE THE LAW.  EVEN 

UNDER GRACE NOT PAYING TITHES IS ROBBING GOD.  THE LEVITES 

RECEIVED TITHES AND PAID A TITHE OF THE TITHE.  IN THE NEW 

TESTAMENT PAUL WOULD NEVER RECEIVE A GIFT FOR HIS MINISTRY 

BUT HE ALWAYS HAD THOSE CHURCHES COLLECTING MONEY FOR THE 

JERUSALEM CHURCH WHICH WOULD HAVE PROBABLY STARVED TO 

DEATH WITHOUT THE CHURCHES THAT PAUL FOUNDED TITHING THE 

TITHE FOR PAUL TO TAKE BACK TO THE JERUSALEM CHURCH.  IT 

IS EITHER IGNORANCE OR STUPIDITY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR A 

CHURCH NOT TO TITHE.  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IGNORANCE AND 

STUPIDITY IS THAT IGNORANCE IS CURABLE.  YOU WILL NEVER 

HAVE SUFFICIENT MEANS IF YOU DON'T TITHE.  YOU WILL EARN 

MONEY WHICH WILL FALL THROUGH THE HOLES IN YOU PURSES.

Haggai 1:5-7

Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your 

ways.  Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but 

ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with 

drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that 

earneth wages earneth wages <to put it> into a bag with 

holes.  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

WE ARE NOT TO PUT GOD TO THE TEST EXCEPT IN THIS ONE AND 

ONLY REGARD OF TITHING.  IN MALICHI 3:10 GOD SAYS TO TEST 

HIM WITH THE TITHE AND SEE IF HE DOES NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS 

OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT A BLESSING SO GREAT THAT YOU CAN'T 

HOLD IT ALL.  IT IS JUST PLAIN SMART TO TITHE.  THAT IS 

10% OFF THE TOP BEFORE TAXES AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE 

OFFERINGS IF YOU WANT TO REALLY GET BLESSED.  AS IMPORTANT 

AS TITHING IS TO YOUR OWN FINANCIAL WELL BEING, IT IS NOT 

BY ANY MEANS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.  JESUS SAID IN

Matthew 23:23 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, 

hypocrites! for ye pay [tithe] of mint and anise and 

cummin, and have omitted the weightier <matters> of the 

law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have 

done, and not to leave the other undone.









OCT 6   EZRA 7 - 8                       PG 1290 - 1293



Ezra 7:5-6  PG 1290

The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of 

Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:

This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he [was] a ready 

scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel 

had given: and the king granted him all his request, 

according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.

EZRA WAS A GREAT STUDENT OF THE WORD OF GOD.  SINCE FAITH 

COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD WE CAN BE 

SURE THAT EZRA WAS ALSO A MAN OF GREAT FAITH.  EZRA COULD 

TRACE HIS GENEALOGY BACK TO AARON THE HIGH PRIEST.  NOTE 

THAT THE KING GRANTED HIM ALL OF HIS REQUESTS.  WHAT PART 

DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT NEHEMIAH MAY HAVE PLAYED IN THE KING 

GRANTING ALL OF EZRA'S REQUESTS?



Ezra 7:15   PG 1291

And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his 

counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, 

whose habitation [is] in Jerusalem,

HERE IS THE KING AND HIS COUNSELLORS MAKING FREEWILL 

OFFERINGS OF SILVER AND GOLD TO REBUILD JERUSALEM AND 

REESTABLISH THE WORSHIP OF GOD IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM.  

WAS THE KING A BELIEVER?  WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE 

KING'S COUNSELLORS WHO MADE A FREEWILL OFFERING OF GOLD 

AND SILVER?



Ezra 7:18 & 20-12  PG 1291

And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy 

brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, 

that do after the will of your God.

And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy 

God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow [it] 

out of the king's treasure house.

And I, [even] I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to 

all the treasurers which [are] beyond the river, that 

whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the 

God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,

EZRA HAD A GOOD REPUTATION TO HAVE THE KING PLACE SUCH 

UNRESTRAINED TRUST IN HIM.



Ezra 7:23   PG 1291

Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be 

diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for 

why should there be wrath against the realm of the king 

and his sons?

THE KING CERTAINLY HAD SOME MEASURE OF FAITH IN THE GOD OF 

EZRA AND NEHEMIAH.



Ezra 7:27    PG 1291

Blessed [be] the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put 

[such a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify 

the house of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem:

IT IS AMAZING REGARDLESS OF THE LEVEL OF FAITH WHICH KING 

ARTAXERXES HAD,  HOW GOD HAD MOVED HIM TO SUPPORT THE 

REBUILDING OF JERUSALEM.  ESPECIALLY AMAZING IS THE 

REESTABLISHMENT OF THE WORSHIP OF GOD IN THE TEMPLE.  

JERUSALEM MAY HAVE BEEN A GREAT STRATEGIC BUFFER AGAINST 

EGYPT BUT THE MONEY FOR THE TEMPLE AND SACRIFICES CAN NOT 

BE EXPLAINED BY ANY SUCH MILITARY STRATEGY.



Ezra 8:22   PG 1292

For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of 

soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the 

way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand 

of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek him; but 

his power and his wrath [is] against all them that forsake 

him.

IT IS GREAT THAT EZRA WOULD NOT TAKE A CHANCE IN WEAKENING 

THE FAITH OF ARTAXERXES BY REQUESTING SOLDIERS FROM THE 

KING.  IF GOD'S HAND WAS UPON EZRA'S PEOPLE WHY INDEED 

WOULD THEY NEED MILITARY PROTECTION.







OCT 7   EZRA 9 - 10                      PG 1293 - 1296



Ezra 9:9   PG 1294

For we [were] bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in 

our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight 

of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up 

the house of our God, and to repair the desolations 

thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

EZRA THANKS GOD FOR THE TREMENDOUS BLESSING OF THE FAVOR 

OF THE KINGS OF PERSIA TO ALLOW ISRAEL TO RETURN AND 

REBUILD.



Ezra 9:13-14  PG 1294

And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and 

for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast 

punished us less than our iniquities [deserve], and hast 

given us [such] deliverance as this;

Should we again break thy commandments, and join in 

affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest 

not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed [us], 

so that [there should be] no remnant nor escaping?

EZRA ACKNOWLEDGES GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND MERCY IN JUDGING 

ISRAEL'S SIN.  ALREADY THE FIRST GROUP OF ISRAELITES TO 

RETURN HAD MARRIED FOREIGN WIVES.  EZRA KNEW SOMETHING HAD 

TO BE DONE TO STOP THIS FORBIDDEN PRACTICE.



Ezra 10:3-5 & 11 PG 1295

Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put 

away all the wives, and such as are born of them, 

according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that 

tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done 

according to the law.

Arise; for [this] matter [belongeth] unto thee: we also 

[will be] with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].

Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, 

and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to 

this word. And they sware.

Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your 

fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from 

the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT EZRA MAKING THE MEN OF ISRAEL WHO 

HAD MARRIED FOREIGN WIVES DIVORCE THEM IN LIGHT OF - 

Malachi 2:16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that 

he hateth putting away: for [one] covereth violence with 

his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed 

to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. ?







OCT 8   NEHEMIAH 1 - 3                   PG 1297 - 1300



Nehemiah 1:3-5  PG 1297

And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the 

captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction 

and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, 

and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat 

down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and 

prayed before the God of heaven,

And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great 

and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them 

that love him and observe his commandments:

AS SOON AS NEHEMIAH HEARS OF HOW POORLY THE PEOPLE ARE 

DOING BACK IN JERUSALEM HE GOES INTO FASTING AND PRAYER.  

NEHEMIAH KNEW HOW TO PRAY.  NEHEMIAH WAS A MAN OF ACTION 

AND A MAN OF INSTANT PRAYER.  ALMOST ALL OF HIS ACTIONS 

WERE FIRST LIFTED TO THE LORD IN PRAYER.  HOW MANY OF OUR 

PROBLEMS COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER SOLVED IF WE TOO WERE TO 

FIRST LIFT OUR PLANS UP TO GOD FOR HIS DIRECTION AND 

BLESSING ON OUR ACTIONS.  NEHEMIAH KNEW THAT OBEDIENCE WAS 

THE KEY TO THE BLESSINGS OF GOD.  THIS IS NOT LEGALISM.



Nehemiah 1:7   PG 1297

We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not 

kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the 

judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.

NEHEMIAH DID NOT HIDE HIS SINS OR THE SINS OF HIS NATION.



Nehemiah 1:11   PG 1298

O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to 

the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy 

servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray 

thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the 

sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

THE KING'S CUPBEARER WAS THE KING'S MOST TRUSTED SERVANT.  

MOST KINGS IN THAT TIME WERE REMOVED FROM THE THRONE BY 

BEING POISONED.  THE KING'S CUPBEARER WAS THE POSITION OF 

HIGHEST CONFIDENCE AND INFLUENCE WITH THE KING.



Nehemiah 2:1-7  PG 1298

And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth 

year of Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine [was] before him: 

and I took up the wine, and gave [it] unto the king. Now I 

had not been [beforetime] sad in his presence.

Wherefore the king said unto me, Why [is] thy countenance 

sad, seeing thou [art] not sick? this [is] nothing [else] 

but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,

And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why 

should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place 

of my fathers' sepulchres, [lieth] waste, and the gates 

thereof are consumed with fire?

Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make 

request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if 

thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou 

wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' 

sepulchres, that I may build it.

And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by 

him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt 

thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set 

him a time.

Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let 

letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, 

that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;

NEHEMIAH WAS THE KING AND QUEEN'S FRIEND.  THE KING 

NOTICED HIS FALLEN COUNTENANCE.  LIKELY NEHEMIAH HAD 

SHARED HIS FAITH IN THE TRUE GOD WITH THE KING AND QUEEN.  

NOTICE HOW HE WAS INSTANT IN PRAYER BEFORE HE ANSWER THE 

KING'S QUESTION.  HOW MUCH TROUBLE COULD WE AVOID IF WE 

WERE TO PRAY BEFORE WE ANSWERED PEOPLE?



Nehemiah 2:11-12  PG 1298

So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; 

neither told I [any] man what my God had put in my heart 

to do at Jerusalem: neither [was there any] beast with me, 

save the beast that I rode upon.

WHEN HE GOT TO JERUSALEM HE TOOK SOME TIME TO LOOK THINGS 

OVER AND KEPT HIS PLANS SECRET.  A MARK OF LEADERSHIP IS 

TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT THINGS.  HE KEPT A LOW 

PROFILE UNTIL HE HAD A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE 

SITUATION.



Nehemiah 2:16  PG 1299

And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; 

neither had I as yet told [it] to the Jews, nor to the 

priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the 

rest that did the work.

WE PROBABLY COULD ALL LEARN FROM NEHEMIAH'S DISCRETION IN 

LEADERSHIP.



Nehemiah 2:20   PG  1299

Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of 

heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will 

arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor 

memorial, in Jerusalem.

HOW ABOUT THIS EXPRESSION OF NEHEMIAH'S FAITH?  HE LET THE 

ENEMIES OF ISRAEL KNOW THAT THEY WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL 

BECAUSE GOD WAS ON THEIR SIDE.  HE ALSO LET THEM KNOW THAT 

THEY WOULD HAVE NO INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROJECT.







OCT 9   NEHEMIAH 4 - 6                   PG 1300 - 1304



Nehemiah 4:1   PG 1300 - 1301

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we 

builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great 

indignation, and mocked the Jews.

SANBALLAT AND TOBIAH WERE NEHEMIAH'S CHIEF ENEMIES.  

CONTRAST THEIR INDISCRETION AND LOW TACTICS WITH 

NEHEMIAH'S.



Nehemiah 4:4   PG 1301

Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their 

reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in 

the land of captivity:

THE FIRST PLACE THAT NEHEMIAH GOES WITH ANY PROBLEM IS TO 

THE LORD.  I SURE NEED TO PRACTICE THIS.



Nehemiah 4:9   PG 1301

Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a 

watch against them day and night, because of them.

HE PRAYED AND THEN HE USED THE BRAINS THAT GOD GAVE HIM.  

GOD WANTS US TO HAVE FAITH BUT HE DOES NOT WANT US TO BE 

STUPID AND FAIL TO USE THE INTELLIGENCE HE HAS GIVEN US.  

THEY POSTED A GUARD.



Nehemiah 4:13-17  PG 1301

Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, [and] 

on the higher places, I even set the people after their 

families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and 

to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye 

afraid of them: remember the Lord, [which is] great and 

terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your 

daughters, your wives, and your houses.

And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was 

known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to 

nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one 

unto his work.

And it came to pass from that time forth, [that] the half 

of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of 

them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and 

the habergeons; and the rulers [were] behind all the house 

of Judah.

They which builded on the wall, and they that bare 

burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with one of 

his hands wrought in the work, and with the other [hand] 

held a weapon.

NEHEMIAH HAD EVERYONE ARMED.  HE TOLD THEM TO REMEMBER THE 

LORD AND FIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY.  THEY DID NOT STOP THE 

WORK.  HALF OF THE MEN GUARDED WHILE THE OTHER HALF 

WORKED.  THEY ALL HAD WEAPONS WHILE THEY WORKED.



Nehemiah 4:21  PG 1301

So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the 

spears from the rising of the morning till the stars 

appeared.

THEY WORKED AS HARD AND AS LONG AS THEY COULD AND KEPT 

THEIR WEAPONS WITH THEM.



Nehemiah 5:6-12  PG 1302

And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these 

words.

Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, 

and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every 

one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against 

them.

And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed 

our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; 

and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold 

unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing [to 

answer].

Also I said, It [is] not good that ye do: ought ye not to 

walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the 

heathen our enemies?

I likewise, [and] my brethren, and my servants, might 

exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off 

this usury.

Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, 

their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also 

the hundredth [part] of the money, and of the corn, the 

wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.

Then said they, We will restore [them], and will require 

nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I 

called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they 

should do according to this promise.

NEHEMIAH GOT RIGHT IN THE FACE OF THE NOBLES WITH WHOM HE 

HAD A PROBLEM.  HE TOLD THEM RIGHT TO THEIR FACE THAT THEY 

WERE DOING WRONG.  THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY HOWEVER MOST 

PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO CONFRONT PEOPLE DIRECTLY.



Nehemiah 5:15   PG 1302

But the former governors that [had been] before me were 

chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread 

and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their 

servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, 

because of the fear of God.

NEHEMIAH DID NOT MAKE THE PEOPLE PAY FOR HIS SERVICES AS 

GOVERNOR AS THOSE WHO WERE BEFORE HIM HAD DONE.  WHAT A 

TREMENDOUS MAN OF INTEGRITY.



Nehemiah 6:2-3  PG 1303

That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let 

us meet together in [some one of] the villages in the 

plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I [am] doing a 

great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the 

work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?

NEHEMIAH COULD SEE RIGHT THROUGH THE PLOTS OF HIS ENEMIES.

HE TOLD THEM - NO WAY!



Nehemiah 6:7-9  PG 1303

And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at 

Jerusalem, saying, [There is] a king in Judah: and now 

shall it be reported to the king according to these words. 

Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things 

done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine 

own heart.

For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be 

weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now 

therefore, [O God], strengthen my hands.

NEHEMIAH WOULD NOT BE INTIMIDATED OR RATTLED BY HIS 

ENEMIES.  HE GOT RIGHT IN THEIR FACE AND PRAYED FOR GOD TO 

STRENGTHEN HIM.





Nehemiah 6:11-13   PG 1303

And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who [is 

there], that, [being] as I [am], would go into the temple 

to save his life? I will not go in.

And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that 

he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and 

Sanballat had hired him.

Therefore [was] he hired, that I should be afraid, and do 

so, and sin, and [that] they might have [matter] for an 

evil report, that they might reproach me.

HOW ABOUT THE COURAGE AND DISCERNMENT OF NEHEMIAH.  HE 

COULD NOT BE INTIMIDATED.



Nehemiah 6:15-16  PG 1304

So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of 

[the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.

And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard 

[thereof], and all the heathen that [were] about us saw 

[these things], they were much cast down in their own 

eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our 

God.

WHAT EVERYONE ELSE COULDN'T DO IN 14 YEARS NEHEMIAH DID IN 

52 DAYS.  WHAT A GREAT ILLUSTRATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF 

GODLY LEADERSHIP.  WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF 

LEADERSHIP THAT NEHEMIAH DEMONSTRATED?   INSTANT IN 

PRAYER, FEARLESS, SINGLE MINDED, HARD WORKING, HIGH 

INTEGRITY, CONCERN FOR HIS WORKERS, DISCERNMENT, 

INTELLIGENT, DIRECTLY CONFRONTED HIS OPPONENTS.

Nehemiah 4:1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat 

heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took 

great indignation, and mocked the Jews.



Nehemiah 4:4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and 

turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for 

a prey in the land of captivity:



Nehemiah 4:9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, 

and set a watch against them day and night, because of 

them.



Nehemiah 4:13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind 

the wall, [and] on the higher places, I even set the 

people after their families with their swords, their 

spears, and their bows.



Nehemiah 4:14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the 

nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, 

Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, [which is] 

great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your 

sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.



Nehemiah 4:15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard 

that it was known unto us, and God had brought their 

counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, 

every one unto his work.



Nehemiah 4:16 And it came to pass from that time forth, 

[that] the half of my servants wrought in the work, and 

the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, 

and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers [were] 

behind all the house of Judah.



Nehemiah 4:17 They which builded on the wall, and they 

that bare burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with 

one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other 

[hand] held a weapon.



Nehemiah 4:21 So we laboured in the work: and half of them 

held the spears from the rising of the morning till the 

stars appeared.



Nehemiah 5:6  And I was very angry when I heard their cry 

and these words.



Nehemiah 5:7 Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked 

the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact 

usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great 

assembly against them.



Nehemiah 5:8 And I said unto them, We after our ability 

have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto 

the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall 

they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and 

found nothing [to answer].



Nehemiah 5:9 Also I said, It [is] not good that ye do: 

ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the 

reproach of the heathen our enemies?



Nehemiah 5:10 I likewise, [and] my brethren, and my 

servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, 

let us leave off this usury.



Nehemiah 5:11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, 

their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their 

houses, also the hundredth [part] of the money, and of the 

corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.



Nehemiah 5:12 Then said they, We will restore [them], and 

will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou 

sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of 

them, that they should do according to this promise.



Nehemiah 5:15 But the former governors that [had been] 

before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken 

of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; 

yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so 

did not I, because of the fear of God.



Nehemiah 6:2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, 

saying, Come, let us meet together in [some one of] the 

villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me 

mischief.

Nehemiah 6:3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I 

[am] doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why 

should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to 

you?



Nehemiah 6:7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to 

preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, [There is] a king in 

Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according 

to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take 

counsel together.



Nehemiah 6:8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no 

such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them 

out of thine own heart.



Nehemiah 6:9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their 

hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not 

done. Now therefore, [O God], strengthen my hands.



Nehemiah 6:11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and 

who [is there], that, [being] as I [am], would go into the 

temple to save his life? I will not go in.



Nehemiah 6:12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent 

him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for 

Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.



Nehemiah 6:13 Therefore [was] he hired, that I should be 

afraid, and do so, and sin, and [that] they might have 

[matter] for an evil report, that they might reproach me.



Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and 

fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.



Nehemiah 6:16 And it came to pass, that when all our 

enemies heard [thereof], and all the heathen that [were] 

about us saw [these things], they were much cast down in 

their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was 

wrought of our God.







OCT 10  NEHEMIAH 7, 11, 12               PG 1304 - 1309



Nehemiah 11:1-2  PG 1307

And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest 

of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell 

in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts [to dwell] in 

[other] cities.

And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered 

themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.

JERUSALEM WAS THE STRATEGIC DEFENSED CITY BUT THE PEOPLE 

WERE FARMERS AND SHEPHERDS AND VERY FEW WANTED TO LIVE IN 

THE CITY.  TO BE PROPERLY DEFENDED THERE HAD TO BE A 

POPULATION IN THE CITY LARGE ENOUGH TO MAN THE DEFENSIVE 

POSITIONS.  THEREFORE THEY CAST LOTS SO THAT 10% OF THE 

PEOPLE WOULD LIVE IN THE CITY.Nehemiah 11:1 And the rulers 

of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people 

also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem 

the holy city, and nine parts [to dwell] in [other] 

cities.



Nehemiah 11:2 And the people blessed all the men, that 

willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.









OCT 11  NEHEMIAH 8, 9, 10                PG 1309 - 1314



Nehemiah 8:3  PG 1310

And he read therein before the street that [was] before 

the water gate from the morning until midday, before the 

men and the women, and those that could understand; and 

the ears of all the people [were attentive] unto the book 

of the law.

NEHEMIAH AND EZRA NOW HAVE THE PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.  

ALL THE PEOPLE WERE ATTENTIVE AS EZRA READ FROM THE BIBLE 

FROM MORNING UNTIL MIDDAY.  IT IS ALWAYS DISREGARD FOR THE 

WORD OF GOD THAT IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF BACKSLIDING 

FOR INDIVIDUALS AND/OR NATIONS.  HIGH REGARD FOR THE WORD 

OF GOD WILL LIFT UP INDIVIDUALS AND/OR NATIONS.



Nehemiah 8:6   PG 1310

And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the 

people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: 

and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with 

[their] faces to the ground.

THE PEOPLE WERE WORSHIPING WITH HANDS LIFTED UP.



Nehemiah 8:10   PG 1310

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and 

drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom 

nothing is prepared: for [this] day [is] holy unto our 

Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your 

strength.

THIS IS THE MEMORY VERSE OF THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH.  THE JOY 

OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH.  GOD WANTS US TO BE JOYFUL.  

FIND JOY IN THE LORD AND YOU WILL BE STRONG.  FINDING YOUR 

JOY ELSEWHERE WILL LET YOU DOWN.



Nehemiah 8:18   PG 1311

Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he 

read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the 

feast seven days; and on the eighth day [was] a solemn 

assembly, according unto the manner.

THE READING FROM GOD'S WORD WAS NOT A ONCE IN A WHILE 

THING.  THIS IS THE KEY TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH.  READ THE 

WORD OF GOD EVERY DAY.  DON'T LET IT BE A BURDEN.  FIND 

JOY IN THE WORD OF GOD AND YOU WILL INDEED BE STRONG.



Nehemiah 9:3   PG 1311

And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of 

the law of the LORD their God [one] fourth part of the 

day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, and 

worshipped the LORD their God.

HOW ABOUT THIS CHURCH SERVICE.  EVERYONE STAND AND HAVE 

THE WORD READ TO THEM FOR 3 HOURS AND THEN PRAISE GOD FOR 

3 HOURS.



Nehemiah 9:16-17  PG 1312

But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their 

necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders 

that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and 

in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their 

bondage: but thou [art] a God ready to pardon, gracious 

and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and 

forsookest them not.

PRIDE IS OFTEN THOUGHT TO BE A VIRTUE WHILE IT IS IN FACT 

A SIN WHICH BRINGS ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE.  GOD SUBJECTED 

THE WHOLE CREATION TO VANITY IN THE HOPE THAT OUT OF OUR 

FREE WILL WE WOULD STILL CHOOSE TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD.  WE 

MUST BE CONSTANTLY BE ON GUARD AGAINST PRIDE.  IT WILL BE 

ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS ANTICHRIST RISES TO POWER.  HE 

WILL CORRUPT THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE WORD OF GOD BY 

FLATTERIES.  Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against 

the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the 

people that do know their God shall be strong, and do 

[exploits].  IT IS MUCH BETTER TO BE STRONG AND DO 

EXPLOITS (DARING DEEDS).  IF WE HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE 

THE LORD THEN HE WILL LIFT US UP.



Nehemiah 9:26-28   PG 1312 - 1313

Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against 

thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy 

prophets which testified against them to turn them to 

thee, and they wrought great provocations.

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their 

enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, 

when they cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from 

heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest 

them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their 

enemies.

But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: 

therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, 

so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they 

returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from 

heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according 

to thy mercies;

THE COMMON DOWNFALL OF GOD'S PEOPLE - CAST HIS LAW BEHIND 

THEIR BACKS AND PRIDE.  GOD WANTS TO BLESS US AS MUCH AS 

WE CAN TAKE WITHOUT FORGETTING THE SOURCE OF THE BLESSING 

AND GETTING LIFTED UP WITH PRIDE.



Nehemiah 10:29   PG 1314

They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered 

into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, 

which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to 

observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, 

and his judgments and his statutes;

HERE IS A GOOD SIMPLE PLAN FOR SUCCESS.  ASSOCIATE WITH 

PEOPLE OF LIKE MINDED FAITH AND COVENANT TOGETHER THAT YOU 

WATCH EACH OTHER TO DO ALL THE LORD'S COMMANDMENTS.  

Nehemiah 8:3 And he read therein before the street that 

[was] before the water gate from the morning until midday, 

before the men and the women, and those that could 

understand; and the ears of all the people [were 

attentive] unto the book of the law.



Nehemiah 8:5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all 

the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he 

opened it, all the people stood up:



Nehemiah 8:6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And 

all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their 

hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD 

with [their] faces to the ground.



Nehemiah 8:10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the 

fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for 

whom nothing is prepared: for [this] day [is] holy unto 

our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is 

your strength.



Nehemiah 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the 

last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they 

kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day [was] a 

solemn assembly, according unto the manner.



Nehemiah 9:3 And they stood up in their place, and read in 

the book of the law of the LORD their God [one] fourth 

part of the day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, 

and worshipped the LORD their God.



Nehemiah 9:16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and 

hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy 

commandments,



Nehemiah 9:17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of 

thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their 

necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to 

return to their bondage: but thou [art] a God ready to 

pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great 

kindness, and forsookest them not.



Nehemiah 9:26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and 

rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their 

backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them 

to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.



Nehemiah 9:27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the 

hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of 

their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest 

[them] from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies 

thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand 

of their enemies.



Nehemiah 9:28 But after they had rest, they did evil again 

before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of 

their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: 

yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest 

[them] from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them 

according to thy mercies;



Nehemiah 10:29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, 

and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in 

God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, 

and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our 

Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;



Nehemiah 10:39 For the children of Israel and the children 

of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new 

wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where [are] the 

vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, 

and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake 

the house of our God.







OCT 12  NEHEMIAH 12 & 13                 PG 1315 - 1318



Nehemiah 13:7-8  PG 1315

And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that 

Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the 

courts of the house of God.

And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the 

household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.

HOW ABOUT NEHEMIAH - THE MAN OF ACTION, HE PERSONALLY CAST 

OUT ALL THE HOUSEHOLD STUFF OF TOBIAH.



Nehemiah 13:10-11  PG  1315

And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not 

been given [them]: for the Levites and the singers, that 

did the work, were fled every one to his field.

Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the 

house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and 

set them in their place.

IF THE PEOPLE WERE PROPERLY FOLLOWING GOD'S LAW THEY WOULD 

HAVE BEEN TITHING AND THEN THE LEVITES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN 

WORKING THE FIELDS.  THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH 

TODAY.  THE PASTOR SHOULD BE PROPERLY COMPENSATED SO THAT 

HE CAN DO GOD'S WORK WITHOUT HAVING TO DO OUTSIDE WORK TO 

PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY.



Nehemiah 13:15 & 17  PG 1316

In those days saw I in Judah [some] treading wine presses 

on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; 

as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all [manner of] 

burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath 

day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein 

they sold victuals.

Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto 

them, What evil thing [is] this that ye do, and profane 

the sabbath day?

NEHEMIAH GOT RIGHT IN THEIR FACE AND DID IT IMMEDIATELY.  

HE KNEW WHAT WAS RIGHT AND WAS BOLD AND COURAGEOUS TO MAKE 

THE NOBLES CORRECT THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY.



Nehemiah 13:21   PG 1316

Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why 

lodge ye about the wall? if ye do [so] again, I will lay 

hands on you. From that time forth came they no [more] on 

the sabbath.

IF I SEE YOU HERE AGAIN DOING WHAT IS WRONG, I WILL 

PERSONALLY BEAT THE TAR OUT OF YOU.  WOW - NEHEMIAH IS THE 

KIND OF GUY WE NEED IN THE CHURCH TODAY.  HE WAS NO LOVE 

AND GRACE BACKBITING WIMP.  DO RIGHT OR ELSE.  I LIKE 

THAT.  WHAT DO YOU THINK?



Nehemiah 13:25-27  PG 1316

And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote 

certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them 

swear by God, [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters 

unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, 

or for yourselves.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet 

among many nations was there no king like him, who was 

beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: 

nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, 

to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?

HOW ABOUT THIS NEHEMIAH.  DO RIGHT OR ELSE.  WE NEED MORE 

MEN WHO HAVE THIS KIND OF COURAGE TO INSIST ON INTEGRITY 

AND GET IN THE FACE OF THOSE WHO DO WRONG.  THE WORLD IS 

FULL OF BACKBITING WIMPS.  WE NEED MORE NEHMIAH'S, MILO 

MARSHALL'S, AND JACK TABOR'S.



Nehemiah 13:1   PG 1318

On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience 

of the people; and therein was found written, that the 

Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the 

congregation of God for ever;

THIS IS THE OTHER GREAT MESSAGE OF NEHEMIAH.  STAY IN THE 

WORD OF GOD EVERY DAY.  THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR 

STRENGTH.  READ THE WORD OF GOD EVERY DAY TO FIND THE 

STRENGTH THAT COMES FROM GOD.
