The Blood Of Jesus Washes Away Sin With No Separation From God Forever

     The picture above is of our Lord Jesus Christ offering His own blood at God's mercy seat that He shed for everyone at the cross of Calvary to wash away our sins with no separation from God forever. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. The prophet Isaiah said that before we were saved and washed by the blood of Jesus, our sins separated us from God. Isaiah 59:1 says 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 washed away christians' sins with no separation from God forever because of the blood that the Lord Jesus shed at the cross of Calvary for everyone. I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will get saved and have their sins washed away with no separation from God forever. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Only the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins forevermore. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. Hebrews 9:25 says Nor yet that He (Jesus) should offer Himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 

     One of the kindest acts of love ever displayed was when the Lord Jesus Christ took His own blood (not the blood of bulls and goats) that he shed at the cross of Calvary and offered it to the Father to wash away our sins forever, allowing all christians to boldly approach God with no guilt of their past sins. The Lord Jesus took His own blood before the mercy seat to wash away our sins. Hebrews 9:12 says Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Because the Lord Jesus shed his precious blood at the cross of Calvary and washed away our sins, christians can rejoice and say Hebrews 4:16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

     If you ever feel guilty because of a sin you committed and you feel like you are not good enough to minister for Jesus because of any past sin or bad thoughts, just with your heart look at Jesus Christ crucified and say I am crucified with Jesus Christ and the blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed me from all my sins. Try this when you feel guilty because of past sins by looking to Jesus Christ crucified with your heart and watch the guilt flee from you while the blood of Jesus removes all your sins. Hebrews 9:14 says How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge (cleanse) your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? One time on a job where Brother Bob worked a lady put a note on my desk that I was not a good example for Jesus because she saw sins in my life. Brother Bob left a note in response for that lady to see that said Thank you Jesus for the blood that you shed on the cross of Calvary that cleanses us from all sin. 

     2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us how to remove bad thoughts and receive peace of mind. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. In other words place every bad thought by faith on the cross of Calvary with Jesus and the bad thought will immediately disappear. It's impossible to think a bad thought when you look at Jesus Christ crucified by faith. Right now close your eyes and look by faith at Jesus Christ crucified while you tell the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ and bad thoughts will disappear. The blood of Jesus Christ is a fence that the devil can't get through to place any bad thought into your mind.

     The smiling red cardinal standing on white snow pictured above reminds christians that their sins that were red as scarlet have become white as snow and disappeared forever because of the blood of Jesus. Isaiah 1:18 says 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. The blood of Jesus allows christians to enter boldly with no guilty conscience into the holiest presence of God. Hebrews 10:19 says Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Ephesians 2:13 says But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

     Silver, gold, and vast amounts of money could not redeem or buy christians back to God and remove their sins. Only the precious blood of Jesus Christ could purchase and buy christians back to God and forevermore remove their sins. 1 Peter 1:18 says Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. Ephesians 1:7 says In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

     Notice the picture above of thousands of rams and realize that the sacrifice of thousands of rams can not please God to wash away our sins. Only the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus at the cross of Calvary and the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away our sins with no separation from God forever. The prophet Micah asked a question at Micah 6:7 and said Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? The answer to Micah's question can be found at Hebrews 10:8 that says Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he (Jesus), Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

     Only the Lord Jesus and the blood of Jesus can wash away sin with no separation from God forever. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says For He hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Romans 5:9 says Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Revelation 1:5 says 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 12:11 says the blood of Jesus will allow you to overcome the devil. And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

     Notice the pictures above about the 24 elders around the throne of God singing praise to the Lord Jesus for redeeming many nations and people to God by Jesus' blood that was shed at the cross of Calvary. Let's all be like the four beasts and 24 elders around the throne and sing praise to Jesus for shedding His precious blood at the cross of Calvary to redeem and remove our sins forevermore. Revelation 5:8 says And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

     The 24 Elders sit in 24 seats or thrones around the throne of God. The seven lamps of fire are the closest to the throne of God with the two olive trees (Moses and Elijah). Jesus gave us a preview of the throne of God on the Mount of Transfiguration when He appeared transfigured with Moses and Elijah. Next the four beasts (lion, eagle, ox, and man) surround the throne of God forever saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Next the 24 Elders surround the throne of God forever saying Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Finally ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands (innumerable) angels surround the throne of God forever worshipping and praising our Lord Jesus.

     Revelation 4:4 describes the 24 Elders. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats (thrones): and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. The 24 Elders rule like kings on thrones with crowns of gold. Revelation 4:9 says And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the throne (Jesus), who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

     Note that along with the 24 Elders, all saved christians will rule like kings and priests on thrones in the kingdom of God. Revelation 1:5 says 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, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name. 

Majestic Jesus

     Today's bible study is about the Lord Jesus' majesty and power. Notice the picture above of Jesus walking on the wings of the wind while he rides on the clouds called His chariot. Psalm 104:1 says Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind. Proverbs 30:4 says Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell. Praise Jesus for His power and majesty while you meditate on the vision of our Lord Jesus walking on the wings of the wind while He gathers the wind in His fists and rides His chariot on the clouds of heaven.

     A blessed commentary from Oliver Heywood from 1672 about Psalm 104:3 says If this vast globe of the earth be above 20000 miles in compass, then of what a vast extent are the heavens, which are stretched out as a curtain. How admirably hath God laid the beams of His chambers in the waters and suspended the earth upon nothing. How firmly hath He built His stories in the heavens and fixed the glorious constellations as fountains of light. Oh what beauty there must be in the Father of lights that hath set up the resplendent luminaries. These great bodies were created out of nothing by the Word of God's power. There are deep mysteries in the least and lowest creature and every herb, flower, plant, spire of grass, twig or leaf, worm or fly, scale or feather, billow or meteor, hath enough in it to puzzle the most profound philosopher and speaks the power and wisdom of our great Creator Jesus.

     Isaiah 40:12 exemplifies the majesty of our Lord Jesus. Isaiah 40:12 says Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted (measured) out heaven with the span (from a persons pinky to his thumb) (Jesus measured the whole universe with just the size of his hand), and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Look at Isaiah 40:15 that says Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, He taketh up the isles as a very little thing. Isaiah 40:17 says All nations before Him are as nothing; and they are counted to Him less than nothing, and vanity. I once saw a writing that said I'd rather have the Lord Jesus protecting me than all the armies of every nation in the world. 

     Job 26:7 says He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. It's amazing how clouds hold tons of water and don't flood the earth by releasing only drops of rain upon the earth. This is because the Lord Jesus promised by the rainbow to not flood this earth after Noah's flood. Genesis 9:14 says And It shall come to pass, when I (the Lord Jesus) bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 

Get saved and receive Jesus' joy, peace, and strength forever

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, 

Confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel

That Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again

     Praise the Lord Jesus for His majesty because He sits on the circle of the earth viewing the inhabitants thereof as grasshoppers. Isaiah 40:22 says It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: That bringeth the princes to nothing; He maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. Isaiah 40:26 says Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth. 

     Whenever you see the word host in the bible it means army of angels and Jesus is the commander general of this great army of angels. Jehovah Sabaoth means The Lord Of Hosts. Jesus is the Commander General of the Hosts or Army of Angels. Michael is the head warring archangel whose voice you will hear when the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout. The scripture reference for Jehovah Sabaoth is James 5:4 that says Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

     Since Jesus is the Word, saved saints should remember that all the promises of the Word of God are theirs because Jesus is forever in their hearts by faith. Claim the seven blessings from the Lord Jesus for yourselves that are listed in Psalm 18:1: I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler (called a shield and defence), and horn of my salvation (called the strength of your salvation), and my high tower. Proverbs 18:10 says The name of the Lord (Jesus) is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

     The prophet Amos also wrote about the spectacular glory of our Lord Jesus at Amos 9:5: And the Lord God of hosts is He that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. It is He that buildeth his stories (called the stairs of a ladderway) in the heaven, and hath founded His troop in the earth; He that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is His name. After reading this I need to write out Psalm 29:2 and tell you all to obey Psalm 29:2 that says Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 

     The reason for our praise is stated at Psalm 73:26 that says My flesh and my heart faileth; but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Finally, Brother Bob wants to give all my friends a cure for depression. Whenever you feel depressed just memorize and say Psalm 42:5 that says 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. Isaiah 40:29 says He (the Lord Jesus) giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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.

     Let's all be like King David and make the Lord Jesus and God's Word more important than anything in our lives. Take time to look how David placed the Lord Jesus first in his life above everything at Psalm 132:1 that says Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: How he sware unto the Lord, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, Until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. David placed the Lord Jesus above everything in his life, even above sleep. Brother Bob tells people to sleep for just about 7 hours daily and to wake up early and keep moving because Proverbs 20:13 says Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. If you want to find Jesus you must wake up early so try to wake up maybe a half hour earlier than your normal schedule to find Jesus. This is proven at Proverbs 8:17 that says I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Birds wake up early at 4AM every morning and sing with joy because they find the Lord Jesus. Birds have bills but they keep on singing.

     Next read about a mystery revealed to Brother Bob from Jesus about the picture above of Jacob bowing down before Esau to calm Esau's anger while Jacob offers gifts to Esau. Esau told Jacob to keep his blessing because he had enough. But it is interesting to note that in English Jacob also stated that he had enough and convinced Esau to take his blessing. When you study the Hebrew definitions of have enough, you will discover that when Esau said he had enough it meant much but when Jacob (who represents saved saints) said that he had enough it meant in Hebrew all, the whole, the totality, and everything. When you look around and it seems that the wicked are prospering like Esau with much around you, like Jacob, (the Lord Jesus in a true saint) is more than much and gives us totality and everything we need in glorious riches that never fade away now and in the everlasting kingdom of God. It's better to have the Lord Jesus than all the billions of dollars and fading wealth in this perishing world. 

     Take time to read Genesis 33:8 about the picture above of Jacob and Esau that says And he said, what meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. And Esau said, I have enough (defined as much), my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough (defined as all, the whole, the totality, and everything). And he urged him, and he took it.

     Godliness with contentment is great gain and not just much. Wicked men in this world might have much, but godly men have everything and all things with the Lord Jesus. 1 Timothy 6:6 says But godliness with contentment is great gain (the great gain with Jesus is exceeding abundantly more than the much of this world). Ephesians 3:20 says Now unto Him (the Lord Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all the we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. 

     Oliver Heywood in 1663 said that a saints modicum or little amounts to more than a wicked man's multum or large revenues. This is proven by Psalm 37:16 that says A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. Proverbs 15:16 says Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 16:8 says Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. Proverbs 15:17 says Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Proverbs 17:1 says Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. 

     Notice the blessed picture above of Nathanael under the fig tree saying Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth in response to Philip's invitation for him to come and see the Lord Jesus. Like Philip who witnessed Jesus to Nathanael, after a man or woman gets saved, they will want to win lost souls to Jesus and become fishers of men. I pray in Jesus name that we will be like Philip and have a desire to win souls to Jesus and witness Jesus everywhere on this earth. Proverbs 11:30 says The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Jude 22 says And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

     To prove that wanting to win souls to the Lord Jesus occurs in every believer after they get saved let's see how Andrew after he got saved led Peter to Jesus, and how Philip after he got saved led Nathanael to Jesus. First look at John 1:40 that shows how Andrew led Peter to Jesus. After Andrew got saved, Andrew witnessed Jesus to his brother Simon Peter and brought Peter to Jesus for salvation. John 1:40 says One of the two which heard John (the Baptist) speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, He said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

      Note how humble and blessed Andrew was. We don't hear much about Andrew, but Andrew was responsible for blessing around 8000 people. After Andrew led Peter to Jesus, Peter saved 3000 people. And Andrew presented the little boy with two small fishes and five barley loaves to Jesus that were used to bless around 5000 people. Let's all be humble like Andrew, staying out of the limelight, where only Jesus gets the glory, while multitudes of lost sinners get saved and blessed.

     Next look at John 1:43 that shows how Philip led Nathanael to Jesus. The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.

     Finally to prove that after any person gets saved that they will want to win souls to Jesus, look at how the saved prostitute at the well led the men in the city of Samaria to Jesus. John 4:28 says The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto Him. 

     And even the nut who was delivered of the legion devils in the tombs, after he got saved had a desire to win the lost to Jesus and wrote and published books, witnessing to the city of Decapolis the wonderful things Jesus had done for him. This is proven at Luke 8:38 that says Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought Him that he might be with Him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. Mark 5:20 says And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. After Brother Bob wrote this I pray that sometime soon on this earth or in heaven Jesus will let me and all my friends see and read these wonderful writings from the man of the tombs who was delivered from the legion devils. Jesus has told me that these writings are special and are preserved somewhere because the Word of God and anointed writings for Jesus will last forever.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.     

Hidden Secrets Revealed By Jesus

     Today's bible study is very special and Brother Bob was inspired to write this blessed bible study after reading the anointed writings of Oliver Heywood from around 1670. Because of Oliver Heywood's christian beliefs, Oliver Heywood was placed in prison for his beliefs in Jesus and most of the following writings came from letters written by Oliver Heywood while he was in his prison cell. For today's first hidden secret from Jesus take a look at the above pictures of the black dark tents of Kedar and the beautiful curtains around King Solomon's bed and let's all read Song of Solomon 1:5: I am black, but comely (beautiful), O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar (dark), as the curtains (hangings) of Solomon (note that the curtains around Solomon's bed were beautiful and glorious).

     Take time to read this wonderful commentary from Oliver Heywood about the above bible verse at Song of Solomon 1:5. Oliver Heywood stated that true saints dwell in Kedar tents through afflictions, persecutions, and many corruptions in this howling wilderness and weary pilgrimage, and are black and unlovely to look upon, but if you could open the tent door, and see into the secret cabinet of a believer's heart, you would discover a treasure of the rarest graces, truths, experiences, and comforts that ever mortal eyes beheld. You should behold them as the glorious beautiful hangings about Solomon's bed that are comely like the beautiful curtains of Solomon.

     I encourage all my friends everywhere to look beyond the outer appearance of true christians that suffer for Jesus and see the glorious treasures that these blessed saints present from their hearts. True saints like the Apostle Paul, Oliver Heywood, and my good friend David Berkowitz who all wrote for Jesus from prison cells might not be beautiful to the outward eye, but their inward beauty of Jesus reflected by their writings is truly glorious and spectacular to behold. The world also viewed our Lord Jesus when He walked on this earth as having no beauty, form, or comeliness. But, the inward beauty of our Lord Jesus was glorious and magnificent to behold. This was proven by Isaiah 53:2 that says For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

     To further prove that true saints should let everyone see their inner beauty of Jesus and not their own outward unsightly works, take time to look at the above picture of how the ancient tabernacle was built. The ancient tabernacle's covering was coarse and unsightly on the outside to behold but beautiful on the inside. Oliver Heywood wrote that true saints are like unto the tabernacle under the law, whose outside is like unto badgers' skins, rams' skins dyed red, and goats' hair that is coarse and unsightly to look upon; but the inside beautiful consisting of gold, silver, precious stones, and curious workmanship.

     The above picture of the outer coverings of the tabernacle can be found at Exodus 26:7 that says And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make. Exodus 26:14 says And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins. Exodus 26:20 says And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards: And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. Exodus 26:29 says And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

     You see saint reading this in any nation, christians have the excellent treasure of Jesus in their ordinary earthen vessel that they should display to the lost world. At present, the full glorious life of Jesus is hidden in all true saints that currently is not seen but exists and shines brightly now, but when Christ who is our life appears, we shall also fully appear with Jesus in glory. This is proven by Colossians 3:3 that says For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. Also, 2 Corinthians 4:7 says But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. Lord Jesus, I pray in Jesus name all people who forevermore read this bible study will deny themselves and let Jesus shine in every area of their lives because Jesus said at Luke 9:23 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

     OK, time for another hidden secret revealed to Brother Bob from Jesus. When you look at the above pictures of an earthen vessel and much fine gold, let's all read Lamentations 4:2 that says The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter. Jesus showed Brother Bob that lost sinners in the world mistakenly view saints that are fine gold as just earthen pitchers. Unfortunately, what the world esteems great is an abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:15 says And He said unto them, ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

     Take time to read this anointed commentary from Oliver Heywood about Lamentations 4:2 where Oliver Heywood said Suppose you see an earthen pot full of gold, let him that only sees the outside and knows not what is within, be asked the price thereof, possibly he will answer, not many pence, but the pot with the treasure in it may be worth many thousand pounds; a sorry canvas purse may contain a vast sum of money, nor must the whole be rated according to the poor facing, but the rich lining. Friend reading this anywhere, don't be discouraged if the world around you overlooks you as just an earthen vessel because believers in our Lord Jesus are fine gold and I pray in Jesus name that the Lord Jesus encourage you to live and be strengthened with peace daily. The prophet Daniel stated at 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.

     You might say friend reading this, Brother Bob even though I am considered to be fine gold, the world makes me feel poor. Be encouraged and read this story from Oliver Heywood about a miser named Stigandus who was very wealthy in the world but lacked the true treasures of Jesus. Oliver Heywood stated that it is recorded that the miser Stigandus, archbishop of Canterbury, that he lived very poorly, saying and swearing that he had nothing, no, not a penny, yet by a key fastened about his neck, there were found great treasures after his death, which he had hid under the ground; but alas, that key would not open heaven's gates, nor would that treasure purchase glory. But, the believing soul hath his treasure above, and by faith he hath interest in the Lord Jesus, who hath indeed the Key of David, and is already entered into the holiest of all, and hath set heaven's gates wide open to His purchased and prepared ones, and who is gone to prepare a place for them. Friend reading anywhere on this earth, get saved, repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel in your heart that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again and you will have greater riches with Jesus than all the money or wealth of this world.

     Now to end up this present discussion about how saints are inwardly beautiful with Jesus, let's look at the opposite example of how the unsaved in the world are ugly within and appear beautiful on the outside. King Solomon stated at Proverbs 26:23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross (trash or refuse). This proves that the sin on the inside of an unsaved person will be exposed and seen as trash on the top of his sinful potsherd vessel. Proverbs 26:26 goes on to say Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Also King Solomon stated at Ecclesiastes 10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. You see one little sin or one little dead fly can ruin a person's reputation and testimony. 

          OK, time for another hidden secret revealed to Brother Bob from Jesus about not being lazy but diligent for Jesus to make your life blessed and precious. Take time to read about the secret of Proverbs 12:27 that says The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. You see the slothful man was so lazy that after he successfully hunted food, he did not cook the food but let it sit and spoil. Oliver Heywood stated that the slothful man's meat was best when it was fresh, new, and quickly used and it is a folly to keep it till it be old and good for nothing. You see the father and little boy pictured above are not lazy and promptly roast a turkey they received to avoid the food from spoiling and this makes the turkey precious and a blessing. Proverbs 20:13 also warns us Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

     Don't be lazy; Preach the gospel and tell everyone everywhere about our Lord Jesus. Ephesians 5:14 says Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly (diligently constantly looking to Jesus daily), not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Let us all be like King David and make haste to serve Jesus and give a place to Jesus in our lives while we preach the goodness of Jesus to all nations. Psalm 119:59 says I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

     All I have to say for today's last hidden secret from Jesus revealed to Brother Bob is take a look at the above picture of apples of gold in pictures of silver. Take time to meditate on a glorious saying from King Solomon at Proverbs 25:11 that says A word fitly spoken (in other words the word is sent by wheels to quickly bless a person), is like apples of gold (causing a sweet blessing) in pictures of silver. Friend reading this anywhere say a kind word to someone today about Jesus and give that person life. Jesus said at John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Note that your kind words to people from Jesus give life, joy, and goodness. This is proven by Proverbs 15:23 that says A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it.

     One final revelation for all my friends everywhere where Jesus revealed to Brother Bob a truth that appears in both the old and new testament of how nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. This truth is found in the new testament at Romans 8:38 that says For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. This blessed truth is also found in the old testament at Isaiah 54:10 that says For the mountains shall depart, and the hills shall 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. Oliver Heywood stated when the world burns up, let the saints say I have nothing of all this huge heap to lose. Let the brutish worldlings weep and wail over their fair houses, large domains and full bags, numerous cattle, and gorgeous attire; But, all the saints will be exceedingly rich with Jesus and their hope and expectations will become full enjoyment forever in the kingdom of God.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus Christ, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Live Holy For Jesus And Experience Peace

     For today's bible study, Brother Bob gives you all a picture above of a little girl feeding a baby lamb. I pray in Jesus name that all my friends everywhere will live holy lives for Jesus, which will cause them to feed the flock which is among them, bless the poor, and win souls. Jesus said at Matthew 4:19 Follow me and I will make you fishers of men. Therefore, as we follow Jesus, Jesus will give us all the desire to bless the poor as we fish for men and win souls to Jesus. 1 Peter 5:2 says Feed the flock which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly, not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

     Jesus showed Brother Bob that as we live holy lives for Jesus daily, we all should as a result have a desire to teach transgressors the ways of Jesus and convert sinners to the Lord Jesus. King David said that living holy will as a result cause us to teach sinners about Jesus and save lost souls. Take time to read Psalm 51:10-13 to learn how holiness in our lives will convert sinners and save souls. Right now take time to say and believe Psalm 51:10-13 that says 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. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Hallelujah, sinners will be saved as a result of saints living holy lives.

     Friend did you realize that your holy life daily for Jesus is an open book for sinners to see Jesus and get saved. Friend reading this, sinners in the world are constantly watching us live holy for Jesus and I pray in Jesus name that we daily will be examples shining the light of Jesus to win lost souls. 2 Corinthians 3:2 tells us Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men. Colossians 4:5 says Walk in wisdom toward them that are without (defined as sinners that don't belong to the church), redeeming the time. 1 Thessalonians 4:12 says That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. King Solomon said if we walk in the footsteps of Jesus living holy lives, we will feed the kids (defined as sinners or female goats around us) beside the shepherds' tents. Song of Solomon 1:8 says If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

      Another benefit of living holy for Jesus can be seen in the picture above when all saints will be rewarded to soon stand forever in peace before the Father and Jesus with palms in our hands. Revelation 7:9 says After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Revelation 22:14 proves that living holy will produce great peace allowing all saints to enter the kingdom as pictured above, and says Blessed are they that do His commandments; that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

     You see friend reading this anywhere, to be able to see God and Jesus notice that there are two requirements: to live holy and to not be prejudice as you follow peace with all men. Hebrews 12:14 says Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Wow, some people can't see God because as they live holy, they are bigots. Remember, to be able to see God as you live holy, you must love all types of people everywhere with no prejudice or bigotry. The true holy spirit will draw all cultures of men and a true church will have all types of people (black, white, spanish, chinese, arab, and even polka dot). If a church's members are all black or all white or all spanish, the holy ghost probably is not in that church. Hallelujah, the holy ghost has blessed Brother Bob's book by allowing all types of peoples (Africans, Europeans, Brazilians, Mexicans, Koreans, Japanese, and Egyptians) to be friends to Brother Bob and regularly read Brother Bob's book for Jesus. Remember if Jesus is truly lifted up, Jesus will draw all men to Him.

       Jesus and the word encourages us all to live holy lives and 1 Peter 1:15 says But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy. Jesus wants to present the saints to his Father as holy and without blemish and this can be seen at Ephesians 5:27 that says That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Friend reading this learn to be humble and holy because Jesus will dwell in the Holy place with humble saints. This is proven by the prophet Isaiah at Isaiah 57:15 that says 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.

     Take time to meditate on the following scriptures that prove that as we live holy lives great peace and blessings result. Proverbs 10:29 says The way of the Lord is strength to the upright, but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. Psalm 50:23 says Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his conversaton aright will I shew the salvation of God. James 1:21 says Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity(defined as the abundance of sin in our prior sinful lives before any christian knew Jesus) of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

     In 1645, Oliver Heywood wrote that we should all be like Job and realize that if we come near to the seat of Jesus by living holy, Jesus will not plead against us but Jesus will put strength into us. This is proven by Job 23:3 that says Oh that I knew where I might find Him! that I might come even to His seat! Now look at Job 23:6 that says Will He plead against me with His great power? No; but He would put strength in me. Jesus told us to approach Him for rest and stated at Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

     One great benefit of living holy is a clean conscience where guilt is removed by knowing that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin as we daily remember Jesus Christ crucified with our hearts. Living holy produces rejoicing and confidence where we can receive the blessings of our prayer requests. This is proven by the following bible scriptures. 2 Corinthians 1:12 says For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world and more abundantly to you-ward. 1 John 3:21 tells us Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. Psalm 119:165 says Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them.

     To end up today's bible study, Brother Bob gives you all the above picture of a beautiful butterfly encouraging all my friends everywhere to become a new creature (defined as creation) and get saved by confessing Jesus as God and believe in their hearts that Jesus died for them and rose again. You see friend as you live holy for Jesus you will become a new man and creation, and your old sins will pass away and be forgotten forevermore. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ephesians 4:22 tells us That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

     Even thousands of years ago, the prophet Jeremiah tried to encourage sinners to repent, live holy and get saved. The prophet Jeremiah stated at Jeremiah 4:14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? The apostles James and Paul also encouraged sinners to repent, live holy, and walk daily with the blessings of Jesus. James stated at James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Paul stated at 2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Also, 2 Corinthians 7:1 tells us Having therefore these promises dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

     To end up today's bible study, take time to read 2 Peter 1:5 and decide today that faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity will occur daily in your life so you never fall. Just look daily to Jesus crucified with your hearts, and all these blessings listed above will fill your lives. Now take time to meditate on 2 Peter 1:5 that says And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith, virtue, and to virtue knowledge. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But, he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore, the rather brethren give diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

     Brother Bob has truly enjoyed writing this bible study today and I pray in Jesus name it brings peace and strength to my many friends in the many nations. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob at Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Everlasting Jesus Is Better Than The Fading World

   

     For today's bible study, take a look at the spectacular palace above and praise our Lord Jesus for refusing the devil's offer of millions of palaces like the one pictured above where Jesus ruled over kingdoms in elaborate wealth. Like Jesus, let us all choose to serve the Lord Jesus, denying worldly pleasures and be willing to reach the poor and needy in every country around us. Jesus was not selfish, willing to die on the cross for you friend, denying the selfish pleasures of this world. The story about how Jesus refused the devil's offer of many glorious kingdoms if Jesus worshipped the devil can be seen at Matthew 4:8 and says Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. 

     Let us all be like the Apostle Paul, willing to leave everything for Jesus, counting the sin of this world loss and dung in order to win Jesus. Paul stated at Philippians 3:8 Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. Jesus said at Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Remember, to have Jesus alone after we leave all the sins of this world is great riches. Colossians 1:27 tells us To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 

     Brother Bob has told many people that Jesus is not a choice of religion but Jesus is our very life. Acts 17:28 says For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring. 1 John 5:11 says And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. King Solomon compared Jesus to an apple tree that gives christians great delight and stated at Song of Solomon 2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under His shadow with great delight, and His fruit was sweet to my taste. Revelation 7:17 tells us For the Lamb (Jesus) which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 

     Next pictured above we see Moses leaving the treasures of Egypt with the children of Israel and learn that serving Jesus is greater riches than all the wealth of this fading world. Let us all be like Moses, willing to leave the fame and treasures of this world, choosing to bless the poor and serve Jesus while we all receive treasures in heaven that never fade away. Hebrews 11:24 says By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible. After Moses chose to serve the Lord Jesus, God blessed Moses and the children of Israel with Egypt's riches anyway while they left the troubled world of Egypt. 

     Friend reading this anywhere, take time to meditate on a proverb from King Solomon at Proverbs 13:7 that says There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. Jesus told us at Mark 10:21 to give to the poor to receive treasure in heaven that never fades away where no thief, moth, or rust can take away the treasure. King Solomon said to not trust in worldly riches and money that will disappear and fade away. Proverbs 23:5 says Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. The prophet Ezekiel stated at Ezekiel 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. 

     King Solomon also told us that worldly riches not only fade away but never satisfy anyone when he said at Ecclesiastes 1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. Ecclesiastes 5:10 also says He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? Job warned the hypocrite that his rich gains would be lost when God took away his soul and said at Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? 1 Timothy 6:6 says But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. After reading this, Brother Bob concludes that it is better to bless the poor and give away my money, blessing little orphans and widows with food and clothes and build a treasure in heaven with Jesus that never fades away.

     Asaph also repented of his envy at the prosperity of the wicked, realizing that the riches of Jesus are far better than fading worldly riches when Asaph said at Psalm 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Asaph realized his mistake and repented by stating at Psalm 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment. they are utterly consumed with terrors. 

     Brother Bob recommends to all my friends everywhere to type in a google search for Oliver Heywood and read anything by Oliver Heywood, a great christian writer from the 1600's. Oliver Heywood in 1652 wrote If all the mountains were gold, the rocks pearls, and the whole world filled with the sweetest delights of the sons of men, and these offered to the christian to be his proper inheritance forever, he would with a holy scorn, trample upon them, and look on them as not worth one glance of his eye, in comparison of one taste of the love of Christ, and a grain of saving grace in His heaven born soul. The Apostle Paul had the honour of being caught up to paradise to see Jesus and stated that the spectacular glory of Jesus was unspeakable at 2 Corinthians 12:4. Like the Apostle Paul, Brother Bob states that it is better to have the riches of Jesus than all the fading treasures of this world. Paul stated at Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.

     Take time to meditate on some wisdom from King David at Psalm 119:96 that says I have seen an end of all perfection (the pleasures of this fading world): but thy commandment (this means Jesus because Jesus is the Word) is exceeding broad (infinite and lasting forever). Jesus showed Brother Bob that all outward worldly treasures are scant garments that cannot cover us and fade away, but Jesus and the Word of God is exceeding broad and is a treasure that lasts forevermore. Oliver Heywood stated that it is much better to be a poor soul with the infinite blessings of Jesus than a self deluding richling that thinks he is something when he is nothing having a false golden dream where upon awakening the deluded richling finds himself as a pauper in hell. Truly this deluded richling was exemplified by King Solomon at Proverbs 25:14 that says Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift (the empty riches of this world) is like clouds and wind without rain (totally empty lacking the true riches of Jesus). Mark 8:36 warns us For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

     King David also stated many times in Psalm 119 how Jesus who is the Word, commandments, law, and testimonies of God are so much better than the fading riches, gold, and silver of this world. Like King David let us all choose the riches of Jesus instead of the fading worldly riches. Psalm 119:14 says I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. Psalm 119:72 says The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. Psalm 119:127 says Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. Psalm 119:162 says I rejoice at thy Word (Jesus), as one that findeth great spoil.

     Next take a look at the beautiful springing well of water above and think about how the treasure of knowing Jesus is everlasting like a springing well of water that forever flows to quench our thirst. John 4:13 says Jesus answered and said unto her, whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Like the well of water pictured above that constantly springs forth life, the blessings of Jesus continue forever. John 7:37 says In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Notice the rivers flow, blessing us continually forevermore with the joy of Jesus.

     Take time to meditate on the following scriptures that prove that the blessings of knowing Jesus keep getting better and better, continuing forever and ever. I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world has to offer. Proverbs 4:18 tells us But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Psalm 92:13 says Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. Psalm 84:7 says They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. The prophet Isaiah told us that the promises of great riches from Jesus are everlasting when he stated at Isaiah 55:3 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. 

     To end up today's bible study, take a look at the well of springing water above and take time to meditate on the four blessed rivers flowing from paradise or the third heaven where we all will soon be with Jesus forevermore in His blessed kingdom. These four rivers named Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and Euphrates all represent blessings that flow forevermore to christians who worship the Lord Jesus. 

     Take time to read Genesis 2:10 and Brother Bob will define what these blessed rivers represent. Genesis 2:10 says And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison (Increase where Jesus constantly increases our blessings): that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah (Circle where the blessing of Jesus is all around us), where there is gold (a street of pure gold transparent glass in a city of pure gold clear glass). And the gold of that land is good (Hallelujah the good gold of Jesus is better than the fading worldly riches): there is bdellium (a yellowish gemstone pearl) and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon (Bursting Forth) (Jesus gives us exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think): the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel (Rapid showing that Jesus will quickly bless his saints): that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates (Fruitfulness where Jesus makes christians fruitful and blessed in every area of their lives).

Choose Jesus Instead Of The Fading Riches Of This World 

Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning, Confess That Jesus Is God, 

And Believe The Gospel That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, 

Was Buried, And Rose Again

     I pray that this bible study in Jesus name will bless multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
