Blessed Biblical Thoughts

     Today, for our first biblical thought Brother Bob says sing praises to our Lord Jesus for redeeming (buying) sinners to God with His own blood that He shed at the cross. Friends, Jesus was willing to pay the price of His own blood shed at the cross to free anyone from sin and redeem them to God. Pictured above, we see a bible verse that tells us to sing and say praises to the Lord Jesus for redeeming us to God with His own blood. Psalm 107:2 says Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.

     Right now in heaven they forever sing praises about how the blood of the Lord Jesus redeemed sinners to God and made them kings and priests forevermore. Friends, if they're singing about the blood of Jesus in heaven, let's all sing about the blood of Jesus on this earth. I encourage everyone to sing songs like What can wash away my sins, Nothing but the blood of Jesus and Are you washed in the blood. Do a search on the internet for Kelly Willard singing Nothing but the blood of Jesus and listen to the song and be blessed.

     Revelation 5:9 proves that saints sing about the blood of Jesus in heaven saying And they sung a new song, saying, Thou (Jesus) 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. Right now sing the above bible verse at Revelation 5:9 and praise our Lord Jesus for redeeming us to God with His own blood. If they're singing it in heaven, we should sing it on this earth.

     1 Peter 1:18 tells us that the Lord Jesus paid His own blood to redeem sinners to God and free them from sin forevermore. 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 (notice the blood of Jesus is not just blood but precious blood from God who is Jesus), 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.

     Friend reading this anywhere, Jesus loved you so much that He took His own blood that He shed on the cross and offered it to God to free you from sin and death. Get saved today, 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. Hebrews 9:12 says that Jesus took His own blood that He shed on the cross and offered it to God to free anyone from sin. Hebrews 9:12 says Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He (Jesus) entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

     For our next biblical thought, we see that a wolf and lamb will live in peace together when Jesus is the king on this earth for 1000 years. What a blessed thought to know that soon our Lord Jesus will be king of this earth for 1000 years bringing peace to everything (wolves, lambs, snakes, polar bears, people, and everything on the face of this earth). Isaiah 65:25 promises The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.

     What a blessed thought to see that serpents will only eat dust and do no harm to anyone for 1000 years on this earth when King Jesus brings peace to our earth for 1000 years. Isaiah 11:6 says The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

     Think about this: During the 1000 years of peace with Jesus on this earth stated at Revelation 20, the earth will be inhabited by saints in glorified bodies that rule and reign as kings of this earth along with people in natural bodies that need to accept the Lord Jesus. This could happen because when Jesus had a glorified body, He came and ate fish and a honeycomb with the disciples who had natural bodies.

     When Jesus comes to rule and reign on this earth for 1000 years, people will have so much peace and life that they will be like children at the age of 100, but sinners who reject the Lord Jesus during these 1000 years of peace will be accursed at age 100. It will be like the garden of Eden where people live for 900 years like Methuselah because Jesus is on the earth and breathes life into everything. The fruitful field will be like a forest, the wilderness will be like Eden, and the desert will be like a garden.

     The following scriptures explain how everything will prosper and come to life when Jesus is king of this earth for 1000 glorious years. Isaiah 65:20 says There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isaiah 35:1 says The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
 

     Isaiah 51:3 says For the Lord shall comfort Zion: He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Isaiah 32:15 says Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. The watermelons, apples, and strawberries will grow so large that they will be like a forest. 

     Everything will have life and peace when Jesus is present on this earth for 1000 years with no crippled people. Isaiah 35:5 promises Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert (wow when Jesus is on this earth for 1000 years even the desert will have streams). Jacob will no longer limp, Isaac will no longer be blind, Leah will no longer be bleary eyed, and Mephibosheth will no longer be lame.

     Friends, when Jesus returns to this earth to rule and reign as king for 1000 years in Jerusalem, Jesus will come back like a Lion of the tribe of Juda to take this earth by force ruling with a rod of iron. Matthew 11:12 says And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Jesus will place his foot on the Mount of Olives and cast the beast and false prophet alive into the lake of fire during the battle of Armageddon. And Jesus is going to be king of this earth for 1000 years and no radical Muslim can not stop Jesus from being God and King of this earth for 1000 years. The Dome of the Rock, the Mosque of Omar, and the Ibrahimi Mosque that covers the tombs of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah will all crumble like the twin towers in New York on 9/11/01 when the saints rise from their graves to serve the Lord Jesus for 1000 glorious years of peace on this earth and in the kingdom of God forever.

     Pictured above is what the cave of Machpelah looks like today in 2024. You might say Brother Bob why can't I see the cave of Machpelah in the picture above? The reason you can't see the cave of Machpelah is because a Muslim mosque named Ibrahimi seen above has been built on the top of the blessed tombs of the patriarchs and matriarchs. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are all buried in the cave of Machpelah that is also called the cave of the patriarchs and matriarchs. The only matriarch missing from the cave of Machpelah is Rachel, who is believed to be buried near Bethlehem, where she died during childbirth. Joseph also is not buried in the cave of  Machpelah because Joseph was buried in Shechem much later after the children of Israel came out of Egypt and returned to the promised land.  

     Next Brother Bob asks you Who is the boss and reigning in your life? Sin unto death or grace unto eternal life by our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:21 says That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

     Friends, Brother Bob prays in Jesus name that anyone reading this will choose life and Jesus today to be their boss and reign in their lives instead of sin and death. May Jesus, grace, and eternal life be your boss today instead of sin and death. 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. Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

     Remember, according to Hebrews 11:25 the pleasures of sin are only for a season. 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. But there are pleasures for evermore with our Lord Jesus. Psalm 16:11 says Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Choose pleasures for evermore with Jesus instead of the pleasures of sin that are only for a season.

     For our final biblical thought today pictured above we see a sunrise and a sunset. I placed these pictures above to prove that no one has any excuses for not believing the Lord Jesus. Even if a person does not hear about Jesus, they have no excuse for denying that a God named Jesus exists when they daily see the invisible things of the creation of this world.

     When anyone sees the sun come up in the morning like the first picture above, they see that Jesus was born. When anyone sees the sun go down at night like the second picture above, they see that Jesus died on the cross. And when the sun comes up the next day, anyone can see that Jesus rose again. This is because the Father called Jesus the Sun of righteousness at Malachi 4:2: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness (Jesus) arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up (leap for joy) as calves of the stall. In other words, saints with Jesus will be free and happy, like calves that have been released from their stalls.

     Finally, the sun displays the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. When we see the sun high and lifted up, we see the Father. When the sun appears, we see our Lord Jesus. And when we feel the invisible rays of the sun, we see the Holy Spirit. There is no excuse for denying the Lord Jesus because Romans 1:20 says For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

     Psalm 14:1 says The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The bible says a person is a fool to deny that Jesus is God. The bible also says at 1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. In Greek this means that if a person does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, that person is cursed when Jesus returns.

     But blessed saints know that Jesus is God. Right now praise Jesus and say out loud Colossians 1:16 For by Him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

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

Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

A Couple Of Biblical Thoughts

     For our first biblical thought today we see a blank check from the Father's checkbook in heaven. Let's look at Philippians 4:19 and see how the bible describes the above blank check from the Father's checkbook in heaven. Philippians 4:19 says But my God (The Provider), shall supply (promises to pay) all your need (amount to be paid) according to His riches (account from which the payment is drawn) in glory (address of God's bank) by Christ Jesus (signature on the check).

     Here's a couple more blessed sayings to draw all my friends closer to the Lord Jesus. Friend anywhere right now say out loud the following blessed words and praise Jesus: When I look at myself, I think how could I possibly be saved. But, when I look at Jesus, I think how could I possibly be lost. Remember, it takes Jesus to go to heaven. Good works, attending church, getting baptized in every tadpole hole in the country, and shaking a preacher's hand won't get you to heaven. A person is good because the Lord Jesus lives in him. The only good thing about us all is Jesus.

     John 17:3 tells us how to get to heaven and have life eternal and salvation. It says And this is life eternal (how to be saved with life forevermore), that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Friend anywhere reading this, right now get saved and confess Jesus as your only true God believing in your heart that Jesus died for you on the cross and rose again.

    Jesus is the only way someone can get to heaven. There is no other substitute. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus also said at John 10:9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

     Today, right now, repent from your sins and make a decision to live the rest of your life for Jesus. People don't get saved yesterday or tomorrow. Now is the time of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For He (Jesus) saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.

     OK for out next biblical thought, take a look at the first picture above of a good coon dog who can be trusted when he has a coon cornered up a tree. I've got more confidence in a good coon dog than a backslid preacher that won't tell the truth. At least when you find a good coon dog under a tree with a coon cornered up the tree, the dog's telling the truth and can be trusted and you tell the dog good dog. But, if there's no coon up the tree, the dog's a liar and he oughta be shot.

     The second picture gives us an example of a backslid preacher who did not obey the Lord's instructions to keep moving forward. God's instructions to this preacher were at 1 Kings 13:9 and were Eat no bread, nor drink no water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. After this preacher healed King Jeroboam at first he obeyed God's instructions and did not honor King Jeroboam's invitation to wine and dine with him at the king's palace.

     But, later a lying prophet caused this preacher to come to his house to eat and drink. After the preacher disobeyed God's instructions, the lying prophet said at 1 Kings 13:21 Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee. But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

     The second picture above shows us what happened to the backslid preacher as he left the lying prophet's house upon a jackass. 1 Kings 13:24 describes what happened to the backslid preacher and says And when he (the backslid preacher) was gone, a lion met him by the way and slew him. and his carcase was cast in the way; and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

     Now isn't this strange that the lion stood by the carcase of the backslid preacher and the jackass, doing no harm to the backslid preacher or the jackass. What's the meaning of this? I think it means that a jackass is safer in the presence of a lion than a backslid preacher. Also, the lion represented the devil that had no power and could not harm the backslid preacher. The backslid preacher died because he disobeyed God's instructions and the devil represented by the lion had no power to harm anyone.

     Friends, learn a lesson from this story about the backslid preacher of 1 Kings 13. I believe once a person is saved, he is always saved. But a saved person like this backslid preacher can still disobey God by sinning and be given over to the destruction of the flesh by the devil. In 1 Corinthians 5 saved folk were destroyed by the devil for having sex with their father's wife. According to 1 Corinthians 5:5, they were delivered to Satan for the destruction of the flesh like the backslid preacher, but their spirits were still saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

     So we see that saved folk can choose to disobey God and sin allowing the devil to destroy their flesh. Brother Bob says in response to all my friends everywhere Romans 6:1 Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Friends, every day say Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ and covered by the blood of Jesus and with Jesus you will not sin and the devil will flee from you because the blood of Jesus will forevermore overcome the devil.

     The above picture of a KJV bible is in response to a person who told Brother Bob that he needs to protect himself by learning karate taught at the local church. I responded by saying I don't need to protect myself because I got a protector and His name is the Lord Jesus. It's wrong for some churches to promote karate because karate is an eastern religion that promotes seducing spirits. We're just seeing 1 Timothy 4:1 being fulfilled in these last times that says Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

     After this, someone told Brother Bob do you carry a weapon to protect yourself. I responded and told them that I always carry a weapon that's loaded all around called the KJV bible pictured above. Whenever Brother Bob drives any car, Brother Bob keeps a KJV bible on the car seat. If a cop asks me, Brother Bob what's that on your car seat, I'll tell the cop it's a KJV bible, you want to look at it with me. Then the cop will say Oh no no no just go on. Unfortunately, that cop and most people don't want to see that KJV bible that has more power to protect us than any weapon we could carry.

     Brother Bob recommends placing two KJV bibles on the backseat of your car. The reason I do this is because so many people that I witness to get saved and need a KJV bible. I always give away KJV bibles for free to people I win to Jesus. But I keep an extra bible to remain in the backseat of my car to make the devil flee from my car.

     The bible proclaims that the KJV bible is one of our most powerful weapons of protection at Hebrews 4:12 that says For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Note also that the KJV bible can be used to help you go to sleep each night. If people will read their bibles just before they go to bed, they'll be asleep in 15 minutes. The KJV bible is the best sleeping pill you could get.

     For my final thought today as we look at the above picture of a pope, let's all look at Matthew 23:9 that says And call no man your father upon the earth, for one is your Father, which is in heaven. The pope needs to take off his long bonnett and robe and get under the feet of Jesus Christ like the rest of us. Whoever heard of a man becoming infallible when he gets in the popery. This is damnable heresy. Remember, friends everywhere worship only the Lord Jesus and no pope, man, or thing on this earth.

     1 Timothy 6:14-15 proclaims that Jesus is the only Lord, Potentate, and King that should be worshipped as God forevermore. 1 Timothy 6:14-15 says That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; which in His times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate (defined as a royal prince minister of great authority),the King of kings, and Lord of lords. It's wrong to worship the pope as a God. The pope reminds Brother Bob of a phony pharisee or saducee that according to Matthew 23:6 loves the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues. And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi; But be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren.

     As always, it has been a blessing writing this bible study today that I pray in Jesus name will bless my friends everywhere with great peace, strength, and joy. 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) 604-7133.
