Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV
Romans 10:9 ‘…that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…’ AKJV
Jesus, as we begin this lesson, be with us and allow us to keep our focus on what we are able to read in Your Word. Keep us from focusing on what others say and keep us from gossip, false interpretations and keep us standing firm in Your Word that we have been given by You and You alone. I love You Jesus. Amen.
The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:
Genesis 6:5, :6, :7, :8, 11:1, 12:1-3; Matthew 25:46, 1:22-23, 15:24; Acts 9:15; 2 Timothy 4:3-4.
So, we are going to begin this lesson, trying to show the reader where they can find the ONLY Truth that we each have been given and then also hopefully, that will allow this world to realize almost everything that is taught on Sunday mornings is mostly man-made wants, wishes and desires.
Let me begin speaking about the Word of God, our Bibles and what can be found on its pages.
From our Bibles let’s acknowledge that God shows us, the beginning of this world that we live on and we are informed of the beginning of mankind.
Move forward to Genesis 6, God sees that mankind on the earth is full of nothing but evil.
Genesis 6:5 ‘…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…’ AKJV
What happened to God’s Creation? One should ask, how did this world turn into such a mess?
Genesis 6:6 ‘…And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart…’ AKJV
Now, move away from the Bible for just a moment, we should ask ourselves: why would God even allow for us to read and study this failure?
I think we should use the common sense that God has given us and be able to realize that the simple answer as to why ALL of the evil that was found on the earth, has to fall onto the shoulders of Satan, alone. Since his introduction in the garden with his temptation involving Eve, Satan has wanted to do nothing other than making this world fail so that God and His plan, in essence, would also fail and Satan could take over.
I think this is why God has allowed for us to see the past. Nearly 6,000 years before our time but God wants us to see the evil Satan has put on us.
Back in Genesis 6, when God seen the evil that had grown throughout this world, He made plans to destroy ALL of His creation.
Just think of it, it wouldn’t have taken anything for God to destroy what He had created and begin anew if He wanted to. In our three dimensional world, there are probably some in this world that cannot fathom what it would mean to destroy our creation and begin over again.
Genesis 6:7 ‘…And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them…’ AKJV
God was going to destroy His entire Creation, but then we read verse 8 …
Genesis 6:8 ‘…But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord…’ AKJV
God didn’t have to tell us what happened preceding the flood. In reality, God didn’t have to tell us anything. He didn’t have to give us the ability to realize what was right and what is clearly wrong.
The Bible tells us God did that though because He loves us, every one of us living on this earth, God is love.
Let’s go back into the Word of God, Genesis 11.
Genesis 11:1 ‘…And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech…’ AKJV
Now those people living back in Genesis 11, the world was very different, there was no North or South America; there was no Australia and no Europe.
From google.com:
The geography of the known world in Genesis 11 is primarily focused on the region of Mesopotamia, with the settlement in the land of Shinar. Shinar is widely considered to be a territory in Southern Mesopotamia, or modern-day Iraq, near the estuaries of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, including the city of Babylon. However, some scholars argue that Shinar may have been located further north in Mesopotamia, in what is now northeastern Syria. [1]
From Genesis 1 through chapter 11, there is one group of people all speaking the same language. There isn’t a Jewish group of people or a Gentile group of people, ALL people were the same, one group of people, known as ‘mankind.’
In chapter 12, God CHOSE Abram, later his name was changed by God to Abraham and through him, a new different CHOSEN people will emerge onto this world.
Genesis 12
vs1 ‘…Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee…’
vs2 ‘…and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing…’
vs3 ‘…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…’ AKJV
From Genesis 12, there is division between the different types of mankind.
Up to this point, the people on the earth were ALL bad. There is the history of the flood, there is the history at the tower of Babel.
God made a choice to divide mankind, He found favor in the Israelites, the Jewish people. There are so many religions today on this world that have missed out on this division by God.
They don’t preach it and are unaware that it even happened.
There are groups that sense this division, and they want to include themselves into the group that was chosen by God, but if these people would read their Bibles and listen to the Word of God, they would find out for themselves, they don’t need to join a group of people because God Himself made another CHOICE to include ALL mankind to have the opportunity for Salvation.
But mankind today doesn’t read the Word of God, they instead listen to their pastors and priests who claim they’ve read the Bible for them.
They follow what they hear in their churches and its denomination.
Most of mankind has decided to follow mankind and his message instead of following what God tells us in His Word.
Ask yourself, who’s fault is it then when you realize you’ve been lied to? Is it your pastor or priests fault? Is it your church or its denominations fault?
God is ONLY going to look at you, individually. Your pastor, priest, church and it’s denomination, they have been foretold of their own individual punishment.
But you, for not believing what God has been trying to tell you and this entire world, you are going to have an everlasting life, but it is an everlasting life of torment and destruction.
All mankind are promised an Everlasting Life, but you have to ask yourself, are you spending eternity in the presence of Jesus or are you spending eternity in torment and destruction, punishment.
Matthew 25:46 ‘…And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal…’ AKJV
But rather than jumping ahead to the end and out of sequence, we’re going to continue to follow in God’s footsteps, and walk through His Word with Him.
Throughout the OT, God used minor and major prophets, to spread His messages to the Chosen people.
From google.com:
The Bible lists numerous prophets whom God used to deliver His messages. These include major prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, and minor prophets such as Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah. God also spoke through other figures like Moses, Samuel, and Elijah. [2]
These prophets were all sent to deliver God’s message to the Jewish people, God’s Chosen people, all lineage from Abraham.
Many of these prophets wrote of a promised Messiah that would have an everlasting reign. There are prophecies written of Jesus’ birth, and detailed prophecy of the city he’d be born in and prophecy of His death.
These prophesies were all given to one people in particular, God’s Chosen people, the Jews.
In this time period, there were two different types of mankind, Jews and non-Jews (also known as Gentiles).
Throughout His life, from His birth, the short stories of His life growing up through His earthly ministry have also been focused directly towards the Jewish people.
Jesus was promised to the Jews and that is why Jesus came to this earth; He came to fulfill OT prophesy.
Jesus told us this Himself in our Bibles.
Matthew 1
vs22 ‘…Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying…’
vs23 ‘…Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us…’ AKJV
Jesus also tells us in Matthew that He ONLY came for the Jewish people, the house of Israel.
Matthew 15:24 ‘…But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel…’ AKJV
It is funny to me because most of Christendom, they live in the book of Matthew. They read parts in Psalms and in Proverbs and almost the entire church knows by heart John 3:16 … but they’ve misinterpreted what God has told us, the Gentiles.
Do you know not until Acts 9:15, are we told God has decided to offer salvation and save the Gentile person, the non-Jew.
Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
Here in this verse, God is stating to the reader He is going to allow the entire world to hear and learn about Him and His Word.
And 95 percent of Christendom today think they are to replace and take the place of the Jew since they proved they didn’t want God … but ask this person, what book, chapter and verse is it written that we were told to step in and take the Jews place?
They can’t tell you because the verse isn’t in our Bibles … it’s nowhere in the Word of God … it’s all a fallacy, a myth, a lie, a man-made made-up untruth to get you to revisit their church. It’s been written in the Word of God as ‘itching ears’ (tickling our ears).
2 Timothy 4
vs3 ‘…For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears…’
vs4 ‘…and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables…’ AKJV
Come back and study with us next Wednesday, as we continue through the pages of God’s Word.
If we cannot find what we’re being taught, written in and on the pages of God’s Word, we should flee and leave those lies alone.
The ONLY truth that we have been given is the Word of God.
Keep your Bibles open and continue to study.
I’ll see y’all next week.
I love ALL of y’all.
I am InHIM.><)))o>
Jesus, we pray that You would bless us and keep us safe. Keep us close to You and protect us. Keep us hungry so we search the words You have given for us to HEAR. We love You Jesus. Amen.
