Psalm 72:5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. Now let's go to Rev. 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; In Revelation, it sounds like God is punishing the world and the wicked for the evil. The day of God's wrath. But, it sounds as if the book of Psalms is speaking on the millennium. It sounds as if it is speaking of the messiah's days when his kingdom is fully established. When the righteous will flourish and prosper. What do you think it means when it talks about the sun and moon enduring? I think it means as long as time and the world shall last. Till the moon and the sun will be no more. I'm Gail Nobles, and thank you for listening to the InkPost. Hear the podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/user/8626366/sun-moon-endureth-5-7-22-9-12-pm
There is a lot going on in our world today and we should be seeking Christ the Lamb. We need the Lord right now (singing) I read in St. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. I keep flipping pages and I keep on reading (singing) Isaiah 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. And I read in the book of Joel 2:32 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. And I went back to Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Revelation 22:3 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: Today we should be seeking Christ the Lamb. HE is our REDEEMER. Listen https://www.spreaker.com/user/gnaudio/seeking-christ-the-lamb-8-23-20-12-58-pm
Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. You can see these things happening in our land today. You can feel the earthquakes and streets collapsing. You can hear and see the destruction of the winds from tornadoes and hurricanes. You can see the floods taking over the dry land. We are seeing, feeling, and hearing the word of God. His word is coming to pass. Matt. 24: 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Yes, today we do hear about wars on radio and on televisions. The end of the world is near. https://www.spreaker.com/user/gnaudio/bible-happenings
God is a good God. People often talk about the Mark of the Beast. They debate on what it might be and when it is coming. God wants us to know according to Rev. 14. There are three angels that give messages and one warns about the mark of the beast, Baybalon, and one has the everlasting gospel to preach. I believe that anyone that wants to be saved will be Rev. 14:6 -12 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
JOHN THE REVELATOR. DID HE DIE? Note: The Bible is silent regarding when or how John died. Information regarding his last days comes to us primarily from tradition. All agree that John left the isle of Patmos where he was banished for preaching the gospel (see Revelation 1:9). St. John 21:23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Note: It is said John the apostle and John the Revelator is the same person. Rev. 10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. 11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. My thought: The Bible gives us enough info for us to know that God took him. The kind of disciple that he was, it's not impossible that he could be alive in heaven with Enoch, Elisha, and Moses. The Bible said he must prophesy again. The word MUST is used. So I leave it the way it is. The way it is written in the Bible.
Do YOU read your Bible? Do you support the local church or lead one? Do you pray daily? Do you know how to pray and read your Bible? Do you fellowship with any other believers regularly? Would you want for me to pray for you for any reason? Do you need prayer?
There is a secret to everything, Everyone's secret. Every mammal has its own milk, Even our galaxy has got its milky way, Milk & honey its messengers have rarely seen, Whenever we had it, it was a gift from the Everpresent unseen. We thought we're able enough to produce our own, we usually double it with water & sugar to keep our pockets as lubrified as our eyes. When He denied us the fictitious milk of golden calves, we started harvesting the milk of stray dogs, easter bunnies, our eyes milky with the cataract of money. If you breastfeed your child up to four or five it ain't madness to be locked up in towers, sarcastically publicized, it's throwing his future in the range of his Father's hands. Sometimes a mother's unable to point out a temporary father and even if she did, he doesn't bother, yet the real Father has never denied tears of a child or of his mother. Too often at the end of a life lived in our own sweat and the sweat of others, we count our bars of gold as we were told by the political statistician who kept our heart frozen on doses of ultimate sensation and morphine, too often we discover our bars are milky and their date to be consumed has long expired, that's when we generously melt them and give them to others. If you want your Eternity strong, melt your bars young, before your dates run out give them to Him, give them to the insignificant others... your treasure safely stored beyond the Milky Way.
In this selfish, capitalist society that prioritizes self-interest and personal gain, it is indubitably easy to get caught up in the world and lose sight of who you are. In times like these, I find it easier to be led than to lead myself further into the depths of despair. When I look to be led, I always turn to the Bible. The core principles of my faith lead me in the right direction every single time. It is within the Holy Book that I've encountered some of the best leaders the world has ever known, including but not limited to King Solomon, Daniel, and Joseph. The aforementioned individuals demonstrate the three characteristics of leadership that I value most: humility, wisdom, and dedication. Firstly, Solomon was appointed to rule God's people in the Kingdom of Israel. One fateful night, he dreamt that God had asked him to make any request and it'd be fulfilled. Solomon asked for wisdom. He could have asked for wealth, fame, power, or any other superficial item but instead, he nobly asked for wisdom to help him lead. His selflessness in the act of denying himself of worldly pleasures for the sake of the kingdom greatly pleased God. As a result, God blessed Solomon with immense wisdom, never before seen by anyone who came before him and never to be matched by anyone after him. Solomon applied his wisdom to many situations in his time as king, one such being that of the two quarreling women and their babies. One of the babies had died, and both women claimed to be the mother of the surviving child. To discern who was telling the truth, King Solomon suggested cutting the baby in two so that each woman could have half. One woman cried out in protest saying she'd rather the baby be given to the other lady than watch it be slayed. With this, King Solomon established her as the rightful mother. The manner in which King Solomon's resolved this case was a great manifestation of wisdom. Next, we have Daniel, the renowned survivor of the lion's den. Ever wonder how he got there? Well, the king at the time, King Darius, was tricked by the various ruling bodies of the kingdom into passing a decree that prevented any prayers to be offered unto anyone but himself. Daniel 6:10 says Daniel went home that day and prayed aforetime, or as he regularly did. He was caught. The same wicked subjects of the king that had him issue the decree persuaded him to throw Daniel into the lion's den as punishment. The King did so reluctantly, and in the morning came to see Daniel's fate. He was glad to see that Daniel's God had protected him, and to find that Daniel was a faithful servant of the Living God. Daniel's groundedness in his beliefs and the way he held on to his values made him a leader because he stood up for what he believed in, unassailable even in the face of death! Finally, we have Joseph, who remained admirably humble in his adverse tale of rags to riches. His brothers despised him for being his father's favorite. This was made apparent when he gifted him a coat of many colors. God had a way of speaking to people through dreams (see Solomon). Joseph had two dreams, both of which signified his supremacy. His brothers were enraged and conspired to exterminate him. His eldest brother was not in full support so he ended up selling him to some traveling Ishmaelite traders. His coat was then soaked in goat blood and shown to their father to convince him that Joseph had been mauled by a beast. Joseph ended up in Egypt, where he worked his way up the ranks of their political hierarchy, eventually becoming administrator. Through this tumultuous journey, Joseph faced a myriad of hardships including being seduced, almost dying, and baring the hatred of his own siblings, yet he was able to recognize God's hand in everything, and in Genesis 50:20 he says to his brothers “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good...” To be able to forgive the people whose jealousy rewrote your fate even though you have the power to punish them as you wish takes a special kind of humility. King Solomon's exemplary use of wisdom, Daniel's steadfast adherence to his beliefs, and Joseph's ability to remain humble are the golden standards of leadership that all leaders should strive to emulate. Wisdom allows one to rule with expert jurisdiction. Humility enables one understand and see eye-to-eye with their subjects. Finally, commitment lets a leader's people know that they are in good hands. Therefore, it is with awe that I reiterate, the characteristics of a leader that I value most include, humility, wisdom, and dedication as taught in the Bible.
