Was glass invented in Israel???

In order to keep with the Kosher standards eating vessels should not absorb any food material.
So glass was use to fufill this requirement.
The oldest examples date back to first century.

Easter Monday

Jesus said He would be in the tomb for 3 days...so if He died on Friday then why would He have not risen on the Monday???
But it was common in the scriptures that even a part of a day would count as one day.
So part of Friday, all of Saturday  and part of Sunday would fufill the old testament prediction.

Animal Sacrifices

Animal sacrifices always bothered me in the Old Testament.
Some scattered blood was required before the priest could enter the Holy of Holies.
But I was thinking that Christ became the Ultimate sacrifice and the animal ones were Pointing to Him in the Future.

Humanism

This is a religion that says we are the product of the Universe.God not required.

The Rapture

The Rapture could come anytime and with the current cesspool of a world it can not come soon enough.

Why do People Celebrate Easter on Monday???

I think another case of Catholic's mixing pagan celeberations with Christian days.
The following week would be celebrations like egg rolling and being sprinkled with Holy water!!

He was Raised on the Sunday..hence the Lord's Day.

Honour your Father and Mother

Take care of them when they get old.
You are no better than an infidel if you do not.

The Holy Spirit inside you

If a follower of Christ you have this all the time which gives you strength and guidance...BE NOT AFRAID

what is the Lord's Day???

It is the memorial of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He appeared to many on that day as well as a week later.
Always Sunday the first day of the week.

Should we keep the Sabbath???

When Jesus made his first coming the requirement to keep the Sabbath was removed.
Jesus fufilled this covenent.

Israel to exist forever!!!!

 ^{Isaiah 9:6} For to us a child is born,
       to us a son is given,
       and the government will be on his shoulders.
       And he will be called
       Wonderful Counselor,  Mighty God,
       Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
 ⁷ Of the increase of his government and peace
       there will be no end.
       He will reign on David's throne
       and over his kingdom,
       establishing and upholding it
       with justice and righteousness
       from that time on and forever.
       The zeal of the LORD Almighty
       will accomplish this.

God to watch over Israel

Jeremiah 31:10"Hear the word of the Lord, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: `He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.'

This written around 500 BC

Interesting Translation of Baraq Obama

In Hebrew this would translate as Lightning from a great height.

What Christ thought about child molesters

Luke 17:2

It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
Sounds like Capital punishment to me..does it to you????

Fruits of the Spirit Catholic church

I saw on the news yesterday another case of child abuse by priests of the Catholic church.This time it was in Holland.

For me this is as low as a human can operate.Given an authority position over children and add to that a religious aspect well no further can you drop. This should be a great reason for the Death Penalty.

Jesus said you would know true Christians by "the fruits of the Spirit".


Galations 5:
¹⁹The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ²⁰idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions ²¹and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.  ²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. ²⁵Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ²⁶Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Jerusalem a Trembling stone

This is a city that all three major religions claim a piece of.
And there will be no diplomatic long term answer to this problem.
Only when Christ returns to set up residence will this be resolved.

Zechariah 121 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
Thus declares the LORD who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him, 2 “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. 3 “It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.



Zecheriah 1
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.'"

Israel born in a day

Isaiah 66:7-8
"Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children."

During a 24-hour span of time, foreign control of the land of Israel had formally ceased, and Israel had declared its independence, and its independence was acknowledged by other nations. Modern Israel was literally born in a single day. Isaiah said the birth would take place before there would be labor pains. And that too is precisely what happened. A movement called Zionism began in the 1800s to encourage Jews worldwide to move to Israel, which at that time was called Palestine. Within hours of the declaration of independence in 1948, Israel was attacked by the surrounding countries of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

Being Thankful

Today you may be fed up with your job. Just think though if you lost it and one year later you would be very happy about getting that same job back!!!
Same can be said for your car,your wife, your house etc.

When you are satisfied and thankful for what you have then God can open the storehouse for new blessings!!!!
Don't Complain!!!!

Strange light in the sky???



When Jesus said there would be signs in the sun, moon and stars, was Jesus referring to more than simple solar and lunar eclipses? Was he referring to signs created by man, or non-humans?

Dry Bones Prophecy

Ezekiel 37:10-14
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet--a vast army. Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, `Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' Therefore prophesy and say to them: `This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.'"

Jacob's Descendents to Reclaim Israel

Amos 9:14-15
I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the Lord your God.

Micro chips

Watching CNBC this morning and they were covering the Greece situation.
The government is apparently having difficulty getting tax revenue form the taxi's so they are all on strike.
I was thinking that with an embeddable microchip the tax could be automatically removed. So another reason why this HAS to come eventually and maybe pretty soon!!!

The New Jerusalem

Imagine this city coming from heaven.
1500 miles in a cube!!!
Boggles the mind!!!!
Pearls for Gates.....no need for light from the sun.
