Isaiah's Miniature Bible Where Every Chapter Mentions A Book Of The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 1 Speaks About The Book Of Genesis

     The book of Isaiah has 66 chapters and the bible has 66 books. 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 Books in the New Testament. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah corresponds to a book of the bible. Isaiah's 66 chapters correspond to 66 books of the bible. The book of Isaiah is a miniature bible that speaks about every book of the bible. Every chapter in the book of Isaiah has at least two references to a corresponding book of the bible. This only occurs in a 1611 KJV bible that has infinite mathematical perfection to discover. Let's journey through every chapter in the book of Isaiah and a corresponding book of the bible to learn about the Word of God. 

     Isaiah chapter 1 speaks about the book of Genesis. Isaiah chapter 1 and the book of Genesis both speak about God creating the heavens and the earth where Adam and Eve rebelled against God when they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Isaiah 1:2 says Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. 

     Genesis 2:1 says Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Genesis 2:16 says And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 3:6 says And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

     Isaiah chapter 1 and the book of Genesis both speak about Sodom and Gomorrah that was destroyed. Lot and his two daughters escaped to safety. But Lot's wife looked back at Sodom and Gomorrah and turned into a pillar of salt. Isaiah 1:9 says Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

     Genesis 19:24 says Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his (Lot's) wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Notice how the number 19 at Isaiah 1:9 corresponds to the 19th chapter of Genesis at Genesis 19:24. Here's a blessed riddle to tell everyone. Who is the only woman in the bible that is not named, died, was not buried, you can find her graveclothes in the grocery store, and the Lord Jesus said to remember her? The answer is Lot's wife. You can find the graveclothes for Lot's wife (a pillar of salt) in the grocery store and Jesus said at Luke 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.

Isaiah Chapter 2 Speaks About The Book Of Exodus

     Isaiah chapter 2 speaks about the book of Exodus. Isaiah chapter 2 and the book of Exodus both speak about Moses and people entering into the cleft of the rocks for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:10 says Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty. Isaiah 2:19 says And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 2:21 says To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 

     Exodus 33:22 says And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen. Note that during the great tribulation, people will hide themselves in dens and in the rocks of the mountains from the great wrath of God. 

     Revelation 6:15 says And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb (the Lord Jesus): For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Escape This Troubled World And The Great Tribulation

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

     Isaiah chapter 2 and the book of Exodus both tell us not to make gods (idols) of silver or gold. Isaiah 2:20 says In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats. Exodus 20:23 says Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. Notice how the number 20 at Isaiah 2:20 corresponds to the 20th chapter of Exodus at Exodus 20:23.

Isaiah Chapter 3 Speaks About The Book Of Leviticus

     Isaiah chapter 3 speaks about the book of Leviticus. Isaiah chapter 3 and the book of Leviticus both mention that God will take away the stay (support) and the staff (support) of bread where the people will eat bread and not be satisfied. Isaiah 3:1 says For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water. The first picture above represents Isaiah 3:1 where the bread has been removed from Jerusalem and placed outside of the gates of Jerusalem.

     Leviticus 26:26 says And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. The second picture above represents Leviticus 26:26 where ten women have baked bread in one oven that when eaten shall not satisfy the people.

     Isaiah chapter 3 and the book of Leviticus both tell people not to glean or gather leftover grapes from a vineyard. Instead the leftover grapes should be given to the poor and to the stranger. Isaiah 3:14 says The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. Leviticus 19:10 says And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.

Isaiah Chapter 4 Speaks About The Book Of Numbers

     Isaiah chapter 4 speaks about the book of Numbers. Isaiah chapter 4 and the book of Numbers both speak about God being a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide the Jews to safety. Isaiah 4:5 says And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.  

     Numbers 9:16 says So it was alway: the cloud covered it (the tabernacle) by day, and the appearance of fire by night. And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed; and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. 

     Numbers 14:14 says And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 

     Isaiah chapter 4 and the book of Numbers both speak about God's judgment by a burning fire to punish the sins of the people. Isaiah 4:4 says When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Numbers 11:1 says And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and His anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

Isaiah Chapter 5 Speaks About The Book Of Deuteronomy

     Isaiah chapter 5 speaks about the book of Deuteronomy. Isaiah chapter 5 and the book of Deuteronomy both speak about nations swiftly coming from far away to punish the Jews in Israel because of their sins. Isaiah 5:26 says And He will lift up an ensign (signal) to the nations from far, and will hiss (signal) unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. Deuteronomy 28:49 says The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as a the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand.

     Isaiah chapter 5 and the book of Deuteronomy both speak about a vineyard where the grapes are wild, bitter, and worthless. Isaiah 5:1 says Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. Deuteronomy 32:32 says For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall (poisonous hemlock), their clusters are bitter (bringing forth wild, worthless grapes).

Isaiah Chapter 6 Speaks About The Book Of Joshua

     Isaiah chapter 6 speaks about the book of Joshua. Isaiah chapter 6 and the book of Joshua both speak about witnessing the Lord Jesus everywhere and winning souls to the Lord Jesus for the kingdom of God. Isaiah 6:8 says Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Joshua 1:16 says And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. Like Isaiah and Joshua, tell the Lord Jesus, Here am I; send me, and I'll witness the Lord Jesus everywhere.

     To give your life purpose and meaning, witness the Lord Jesus everywhere. Tell people everywhere 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. Jesus said at Mark 16:15 Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 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. Jesus said at Luke 14:23 Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

     Isaiah chapter 6 and the book of Joshua both speak about God's commandment to utterly destroy the devil and his followers where nothing from the devil is left remaining. Joshua fully obeyed God's command where Joshua destroyed all the wicked inhabitants of Jericho except Rahab the harlot and those in her house that served and feared God. Rahab survived and became one of the great grandmothers to the Lord Jesus where her son Boaz married Ruth who had a son named Obed who had a son named Jesse who had a son named King David.

     Isaiah 6:11 says Then said I, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate. Joshua 11:11 says And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire. Joshua 11:14 says And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. Notice how the number 11 at Isaiah 6:11 corresponds to the 11th chapter of the book of Joshua at Joshua 11:11. These mathematical revelations about the bible are incredible.

Isaiah Chapter 7 Speaks About The Book Of Judges

     Isaiah chapter 7 speaks about the book of Judges. Isaiah chapter 7 and the book of Judges both speak about firebrands and tails of foxes. Isaiah called the two kings that fought against Ahaz in Judah (Rezin of Syria and Pekah, the son of Ramaliah of Israel) two foxes with two tails of smoking firebrands. Because the father of Samson's wife gave Samson's wife to another man, Samson placed firebrands on the tails of 300 foxes that burnt the shocks (stacks) of corn and the vineyards of the Philistines. 

     Isaiah 7:4 says And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with the Syria, and of the son of Remaliah (Pekah with Israel). Judges 15:4 says And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands (torches), and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

Isaiah Chapter 8 Speaks About The Book Of Ruth

     Isaiah chapter 8 speaks about the book of Ruth. Isaiah chapter 8 and the book of Ruth both speak about witnesses that saw a Jewish man with a Gentile bride having a son. Isaiah and a prophetess had a son named Mahershalalhashbaz. Boaz and Ruth the Moabitess had a son named Obed.

     Isaiah 8:1 says Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.

     The Hebrew definition for Mahershalalhashbaz is "Quickly to the spoil while he hurries to the plunder" and was a symbolic message that God would swiftly defeat the northern kingdoms of Israel and Syria with the Assyrian army. This event served as a warning to Judah to trust God rather than relying on political alliances and the help of the Assyrian king named Tilgath-pilnesar. The name Mahershalalhashbaz warned Judah and king Ahaz about God's sovereignty and the certainty of His impending judgment on the unfaithful.

     Ruth 4:11 says And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman (Ruth) that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem. Ruth 4:13 says So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son (Obed).

     When Boaz watched Ruth glean in his field, Boaz wanted to marry Ruth and loved Ruth. But before Boaz could marry Ruth, according to the law, Boaz had to redeem and buy the field where Ruth lived. Boaz told Ruth if you'll marry me then I'll just buy the field where you live. Then Boaz said Oh no, there's one more person closer to your family than I am.

     Pictured above we see what occurred when Boaz met the relative who was closer to Ruth's family than Boaz. Boaz told this relative if you redeem and buy Naomi's property, you also have to marry that Moabite woman named Ruth. Boaz made it seem that Ruth was ugly saying to the relative you'll have to marry her, you'll have to marry her, when all the time Boaz wanted to marry Ruth. This is stated at Ruth 4:5 that says Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. After hearing this, the closer relative said I can't redeem the field because it would mar my property.

     Boaz said all right then lets make an agreement. Everybody gather around. We're going to make a covenant. Let me buy Ruth's property, you relinquish your rights to it, you relinquish your rights to Ruth, you relinquish your rights to the field, and I'll buy it. The relative accepted the agreement and Boaz redeemed and bought Ruth's property and became Ruth's husband and kinsman redeemer.

     Pictured above the relative took off his shoe and gave it to Boaz. That's the way they completed a sale of property in those days. In other words the relative told Boaz I have no more right to walk on your property. It's your property and I have to ask your permission to walk on it or you can tell me "No trespassing barefoot."

Revelations About 666, Pharaoh-nechoh, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Bar-jesus, Elymas, And The Unholy Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass

 

Revelations About 666

     You might ask Why should we learn about the beast antichrist's number 666? Revelation 13:18 tells us to have wisdom and understanding, we need to count the number of the beast that is 666. When anyone learns about 666 in the bible, they will not be deceived by the beast antichrist and escape the great tribulation to be caught up to the Lord Jesus during the rapture. Therefore Brother Bob will discuss the many times that the number 666 is mentioned or relates to the 1611 KJV bible.

     The reason the bible speaks so much about the beast antichrist and the seven year great tribulation is to let christians realize that the rapture is soon to happen. When anyone sees wars, rumours of wars, famines, earthquakes, and pestilences, they need to get saved and watch for the rapture. Luke 21:28 says And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads for your redemption drawth nigh. 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.

There Are Only Three Men Associated With The Number 666 In The Bible

Solomon, Adonikam, And The Beast Antichrist

     The most notorious number in the bible is the infamous evil 666. In most cases the number 666 relates to evil and wickedness. The number 666 speaks about the number of the beast or that antichrist as he is called in 1 John 2:18. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Let's study the three men associated with the number 666 who are Solomon, Adonikam, and the beast antichrist.

     At first Solomon was a blessed king and was the wisest man on earth. But ungodly women caused Solomon to worship idols and become evil like an antichrist. Solomon received 666 talents of gold. At 1 Kings 10:14 (1+1+4=6), 666 is mentioned. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold. 2 Chronicles 9:13 says Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold  The 666 talents of gold displayed Solomon's rebellious sin of multiplying gold stated at Deuteronomy 17:17. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself (Solomon, truly a ladies man, sinned by having 700 wives and 300 concubines noted at 1 Kings 11:3), that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. 

     Adonikam had 666 children (descendants) that left Babylon to live in Jerusalem. At Ezra 2:13 (2+1+3=6), 666 is mentioned. The children of Adonikam (called The Lord of the Rebellion, The Lord of Enemies, or the Lord Rise Up-a type of Antichrist), six hundred sixty and six. Note that 93 years later, the children (descendants) of Adonikam changed to 667. This is not a contradiction in the bible. This is because after 93 years, some of Adonikam's children either were born or died. Nehemiah 7:18 says The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven. 

     Finally the beast antichrist's name and number is 666. Revelation 13:18 says Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. God wants us to have wisdom and understanding by counting the number of the beast that is 666.

Revelations About 666 From Ecclesiastes Chapter 7

Ecclesiastes Chapter 7 Is The 666th Chapter Of The Bible

     God tells us to count the number 666 and learn blessed mysteries from the KJV bible. The KJV bible is perfect, infallible, inerrant, and displays 666 many times to reveal blessed revelations. Let's learn about a blessed revelation from Ecclesiastes Chapter 7 that is the 666th chapter of the KJV bible. 

     Ecclesiastes 7:25 says I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: And I find more bitter than death the woman (the great whore Catholic church), whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinners shall be taken by her.

     The 666th Chapter of the KJV bible at Ecclesiastes 7:25 is warning us about the future beast antichrist who will be the woman called the great whore Catholic Vatican church from Rome, Italy. When we learn about the wickedness of the Catholic leaders' doctrines, we will escape the beast antichrist and the great tribulation. 

     Note that Brother Bob does not hate Catholic people. There are many blessed saved Catholic people. Brother Bob speaks out against the false teachings from the leaders of the Catholic church. Revelation 17:1 describes this future great whore Catholic church. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore (Catholic church) that sitteth upon many waters.

     Revelation 17:3 says So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of  blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Note that the devil imitates the Lord Jesus. The saved christians are called the bride church and a city (New Jerusalem) that sits upon the foundation (the Lord Jesus). The devil's city is called the great whore (Mystery Babylon or Rome) that sits on the beast antichrist. Note that Revelation 17:18 tells us that the woman (great whore) is a city called Rome, Italy (the Vatican). And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 

     Note that the seven heads on the great whore woman are seven mountains. The only city on earth with seven hills or mountains is Rome, Italy. Revelation 17:9 says And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Therefore the future beast antichrist will be the Catholic church and the pope ruling with a one world religion from the Vatican at Rome, Italy. 

     Note that the word Catholic means universal one world religion. Revelation 17:5 tells us the name of the future beast antichrist. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Note that the Catholic great whore church is called the mother of harlots. This is because all the religions that came out of Catholicism (Protestants, Lutherans, Episcopalians etc.) will eventually return to their mother that is Catholicism and form the one world religion for the beast antichrist during the seven year great tribulation. During the great tribulation there will be a one world religion, a one world military, and a one world currency. When the Catholics are in the minority they are gentle as a lamb. When the Catholics are in equality they are clever as a fox. But when the Catholics are in the majority they are fierce as a tiger.  

     The universal Catholic church can not unify people. Only the Lord Jesus can unify and bring people together in peace today and during the millennium when the Lord Jesus is king of this earth for 1000 years. Jesus said at John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. The Lord Jesus was lifted up on a cross at Calvary and only when anyone preaches about Jesus Christ crucified where the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin, will people come together in peace forever. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it (the cross of Calvary) is the power of God.

The First Mention Of Jehoiakim Is In The 666th Verse Of 2 Kings

     The first mention of Jehoiakim is in the 666th verse of 2 Kings. Jehoiakim was evil like an antichrist and burned the Word of God. 2 Kings 23:34 says And Pharoah-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there. The number 666 relates to wicked king Jehoiakim who cut the Word of God with a penknife and cast it into the fire on the hearth. Jeremiah 36:22 says Now the king (Jehoiakim) sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 

     Because Jehoiakim burned the Word of God, he was blotted out of the Lord Jesus' genealogy. In other words Don't mess with the KJV Word of God. Matthew 1:10 says And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias. And Josias begat Jechonias ( Coniah) (note that Jehoikaim has been removed from Jesus' genealogy) and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

     It's dangerous to alter the perfect KJV bible and disrespect God's perfect Word. Note the punishment that Jehoiakim received for burning the Word of God. Jeremiah 36:29 says And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast? Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. 

     And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not. Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words. 

     Because Jehoiakim burned the bible, Jehoiakim was buried with the burial of an ass. Jeremiah 22:18 says Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother. or, Ah sister. they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord. or, Ah his glory. He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 

The History Of King Jehoahaz And King Jehoiakim

     Following the death of King Josiah in battle against Pharaoh-nechoh (Neco) at Megiddo, Judah fell under Egyptian control. The people had initially made Josiah's younger son, Jehoahaz (also called Shallum) king, but Neco, on his return from his military campaign, deposed (removed from power) Jehoahaz. Neco installed Eliakim, Jehoahaz's older brother, as the new puppet king. This act demonstrated that the king of Judah now ruled by permission of the Egyptian Pharaoh. Neco changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. In the ancient near East, renaming someone was a clear sign of power and an assertion of authority over that person. 

     After Neco deposed and put Jehoahaz (Shallum) in prison at Riblah, Shallum was exiled to Egypt as a prisoner where he subsequently died. This fulfilled Jeremiah's prophecy that Shallum would go into captivity and never return to his homeland. Jeremiah 22:10 says Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more: But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

     Neco deposed Johoahaz for political reasons, primarily to install a more compliant ruler in Judah who would ensure Egyptian control of the region and secure a buffer zone against the rising Babylonian empire. Judah had become an Egyptian vassal state after Neco defeated King Josiah at the battle of Megiddo. The people of Judah made Jehoahaz king without Neco's approval, which was likely seen as an act of defiance and a challenge to Egyptian sovereignty.

     Jehoahaz likely held anti Egyptian sentiments, reflecting his father Josiah's fatal opposition to Neco. Neco needed a stable and loyal client state as he prepared to confront Babylon for regional dominance. Neco imposed a heavy tax (tribute) on Judah. By installing his own puppet king, Eliakim (renamed Jehoiakim), Neco ensured the rapid and reliable collection of these vital resources needed for his military campaigns. By removing Jehoahaz from power and taking him captive to Egypt, Neco eliminated a potential focal point for rebellion and stabilized the political situation in the region while his main forces were operating north against Babylon. In summary, Neco's actions were driven by the strategic necessity of consolidating power over a crucial corrider state in the complex power struggle between the major empires of the time (Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon).

     After Jehoiakim ruled Judah as an Egyptian vassal, Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon defeated Egypt at the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BC. Jehoiakim then changed his allegiance to Babylon and served Nebuchadnezzar for three years. After three years, possibly encouraged by an unsuccessful Babylonian invasion of Egypt, Jehoiakim rebelled against Babylon. 2 Chronicles 36:6 says Against him (Jehoiakim) came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. 

     Jewish historian Josephus said that Nebuchadnezzar had Jehoiakim killed and his body thrown over the city walls during Babylon's siege of Jerusalem. This fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah 22:18 that Jehoiakim would be buried with the burial of an ass where his body would be cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. Jehoiakim died before the main Babylonian army fully conquered Jerusalem. His son Jehoiachin (also called Jeconiah or Coniah) took over but surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar after just three months and was taken to Babylon in the first major wave of exile.

Summary About Pharaoh-nechoh, Jehoahaz, And Jehoiakim

     The summary about Pharaoh-nechoh, Jehoahaz, And Jehoiakim is found at 2 Kings 23:29. In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him. And his servants carried him (Josiah) in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead. Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.  And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

     And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands (prison) at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute (tax) of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he (Jehoahaz) came to Egypt, and died there.  

     And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to the taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-nechoh. Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

The 666th Mention Of The Word Jesus Occurs At Acts 13:6

When Bar-jesus Is Mentioned

     The 666th time the word Jesus appears in the KJV bible occurs at Acts 13:6 (thirteen being the number of rebellion) when Bar-jesus is mentioned. Note that this is the only time in a KJV bible that the name Jesus is in lowercase letters (jesus). Bar-jesus or Elymas the sorcerer, (a type of antichrist), withstood Paul and tried to stop the salvation of Sergius Paulus, the deputy on the isle of Paphos. Bar-jesus (Elymas) suffered and became blind because he withstood Paul and God's Word. But Sergius Paulus got blessed and saved because he stood with Paul. Take time to look at the anointed painting pictured above by Raphael that shows Paul pointing to blind Bar-jesus (Elymas) while Sergius Paulus gets saved while sitting on his throne. 

     Acts 13:6 explains how Bar-jesus (Elymas) withstood Paul while Sergius Paulus got saved. And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos (boiling hot), they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus; Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the Word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul (who is also called Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.  And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 

     The reason Bar-jesus appears at the 666th mention of the word jesus is because Bar-jesus is a type of the antichrist. It's interesting that Paphos is where Paul found the sorcerer Bar-jesus. The Greek definition for Paphos is boiling hot because the beast antichrist will be cast into the boiling hot lake of fire with the false prophet by the Lord Jesus Christ at the battle of Armageddon.

     Note that the devil imitates the Lord Jesus who has many blessed names like Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace. Bar-jesus had another name called Elymas. The true meaning of the name Elymas is El-God Y-The Most High Mass-The unholy Catholic Eucharist Mass. In other words Bar-jesus (Elymas) represents the antichrist who will make the Catholic Mass a God instead of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Catholic antichrist church also exalts the unholy Mass with the word Christ-Mass. And then the Catholic church removes the name of Jesus Christ from the pagan holiday of Christmas and calls the pagan holiday XMass, placing an X over the name of Jesus Christ. 

Why The Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass  Is An Unholy Ceremony

     The Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass is unholy and evil. Transubstantiation is the Catholic teaching that the bread and wine used in the Eucharist (Communion ceremony) miraculously transforms into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, while their outward appearances remain unchanged. This transformation occurs during the Eucharist prayer through the power of Christ's words and the Holy Spirit, making Christ truly and physically present in the sacrament (a sacred ritual that symbolizes and confers God's grace to believers). 

     When Catholic priests place a wafer on children's tongues during the Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass, they place a tray under the chin of the child to prevent the body of the Lord Jesus from falling to the floor. The Catholic priests tell children that the wafer is the physically present body of Jesus and the wine is the physically present blood of Jesus. The Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass is an unholy ceremony that misrepresents the blessed Communion ceremony. Communion is a blessed ceremony for remembrance of the Lord Jesus' death on the cross of Calvary. 

     Communion should be a symbolic memorial remembering the Lord Jesus instead of making the Lord Jesus physically present during an unholy Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass ceremony. Luke 22:19 says And He (Jesus) took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 

     The reason the Eucharist Transubstantiation Mass Sacrament is unholy and evil is because the ceremony recrucifies the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ only had to be crucified one time at the cross of Calvary to remove lost sinners sins forever. Jesus does not have to be crucified innumerable times during unholy Eucharist Mass ceremonies to remove sins. Hebrews 10:10 says By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once (not many times) for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices (performed in an unholy Catholic Eucharist Mass), which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus), after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 

     Just confess your sins to the Lord Jesus (not a Catholic priest in a confessional booth) and the blood of Jesus will cleanse you from your sins and set you free. 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. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He (the Lord Jesus and not a Catholic priest) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You don't have to confess your sins to a Catholic priest at a drive through confessional where the sign says Toot and tell; Don't go to hell. 1 Timothy 2:5 says For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (not a Catholic priest in a confessional booth). 

Studying Four Bible Verses With The Words Here Is Wisdom

To Learn About The Beast Antichrist And 666

     The first three words at Revelation 13:18 that describe the beast antichrist are Here is wisdom. Revelation 13:18 says Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six. The words Here is wisdom appear in four bible verses that I will list to receive wisdom and learn that the Catholic Vatican unholy church represents the beast antichrist. The four bible verses with the words Here is wisdom are Revelation 13:18, Matthew 12:42, Revelation 17:9, and Luke 11:31.

     Matthew 12:42 (that represents the Jews in the tribulation persecuted by the Catholic antichrist church because 12 is the number for Jews and 42 is the number for 42 months or 3 1/2 years of tribulation) says The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return unto my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

     Notice that when one unclean spirit leaves a man who remains empty, swept, and garnished, seven other spirits more wicked enter in and dwell there. Therefore we see that the number 1 and 7 lead us to the next Here is wisdom bible verse at Revelation 17:9 to describe the beast antichrist. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Earlier in this bible study we learned about wisdom and who the beast antichrist is. Here is wisdom. The beast antichrist is a city called Mystery Babylon Rome, Italy with the Vatican who is the Catholic church and the pope that sits on seven hills. 

     Note that the last Here is wisdom bible verse also speaks about the beast antichrist's persecution of the Jews during the tribulation at Luke 11:31 where 11+31=42 months or 3 1/2 years of tribulation. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here (Jesus).

Why The Beast Antichrists Number Is Six Hundred Threescore And Six

Instead of Six Hundred Sixty And Six

     The 1611 King James bible correctly says at Revelation 13:18 that the beast antichrist's number is six hundred threescore and six. Most translated bibles like the NKJV, NIV, ESV, NASB, and the RSV bibles change the beast antichrist's number to six hundred sixty and six or just say 666. This is a big deal and hides the identity of the beast antichrist who will be an Assyrian Jew and not a Gentile. 

     The first three mentions of the word threescore in the KJV bible tell us that the beast antichrist will be an Assyrian Jew. The first time the word threescore appears in the KJV bible is at the 666th verse of the KJV bible at Genesis 25:7 mentioning a Jew named Abraham. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. The second time the word threescore appears in the KJV bible is at Genesis 25:26 mentioning a Jew named Isaac. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. The third time the word threescore appears in the KJV bible is at Genesis 46:26 mentioning a Jew named Jacob. All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six.

     Therefore the first three mentions of the word threescore in the KJV bible tell us that the beast antichrist will be an Assyrian Jew like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Note the reason why the translated bibles are incorrect when they say the beast antichrist's number is six hundred sixty and six. Sixty instead of threescore is a big deal. The first six times the word sixty appears in the KJV bible, it speaks about Gentiles and not Jews. The first six mentions about sixty speak about 4 Gentiles named Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, and Methuselah at Genesis 5:15, Genesis 5:18, Genesis 5:20, Genesis 5:21, Genesis 5:23, and Genesis 5:27. This is why it is so important to only read and study a perfect, infallible 1611 KJV bible. 

     Notice that the first time the word threescore appears in the new testament is at Luke 24:13 that talks about the two witnesses on the road to Emmaus with the Lord Jesus. This mention of threescore reminds us of the beast antichrist who will kill the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) during the great tribulation. Luke 24:13 says And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. Revelation 11:7 says And when they (Moses and Elijah) shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

     The reason Brother Bob mentioned Jews and Gentiles is because 1 Corinthians 10:32 says that there are only three classes of people on this earth (unsaved Jews, unsaved Gentiles, and the saved church that includes saved Jews and saved Gentiles). Give none offence, neither to the Jews (not Hebrew Israelites), nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.

     Note that many new false translated bibles remove Mark 16:9-20 from the bible. The result will leave the gospel of Mark with 666 verses. It's interesting that the devil is using these false translated bibles to display the mark of the beast antichrist at the gospel of Mark with 666 verses. The perfect, infallible KJV bible is a blessing and does not display the mark of the beast antichrist and includes Mark 16:9-20. Finally note that only in a KJV bible will you discover that the words threescore and six appear in 13 verses where the number 13 signifies the beast antichrist's rebellion.

     In conclusion, keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ but be aware of the beast antichrist and his number 666. When we see the signs of the beast antichrist and the great tribulation, realize that the rapture is soon to come where the christians will escape this troubled world and live with the Lord Jesus forever in eternal peace. Ephesians 5:14 says Wherefore He (Jesus) saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly (diligently), not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

     Don't be discouraged when you see the signs about the beast antichrist. Instead be encouraged because very soon the rapture will occur where the christians will escape from this troubled world and be caught up to the clouds to meet the Lord Jesus in the air in peace forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 says For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Corinthians 15:51 says Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

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

Revelations About The Longest And Shortest Bible Verses

Why Esther 8:9 Is The Longest Bible Verse Containing 90 Words

     Esther 8:9 says Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month of Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies, and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language. 

     Why is Esther 8:9 such a long bible verse? The reason Esther 8:9 is the longest bible verse containing 90 words is because necessary specific details for a royal decree had to be documented to be legally effective across the vast Persian Empire. The decree was issued to counteract an earlier edict by Haman that called for the destruction of the Jewish people. To achieve this, the verse includes specific information such as the date the order was written, a list of all 127 provinces and their leaders from India to Ethiopia, and the requirement for the decree to be translated into every group's language and script. This thoroughness ensured the message granting Jews the right to self defense was clear and recognized throughout the kingdom.

Why John 11:35 Might Not Be The Shortest Bible Verse Containing 2 Words

     Everyone usually says that John 11:35 that says Jesus wept is the shortest bible verse. But this might not be the case. John 11:35 that says Jesus wept (only 9 letters) is the shortest bible verse in the English King James bible. It's shorter than 1 Thessalonians 5:16 that says Rejoice evermore that has 15 letters. But in the Greek bible, 1 Thessalonians 5:16 is a shorter bible verse than John 11:35. Rejoice evermore at 1 Thessalonians 5:16 contains two Greek words with only 14 Greek characters, while Jesus wept at John 11:35 contains three Greek words with 16 characters. 

     In response, Brother Bob tells everyone Rejoice evermore because the Lord Jesus will wipe away all tears. Philippians 4:4 says Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say rejoice. Revelation 21:4 says And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelations About The Longest And Shortest Bible Chapters

Where Psalm 118:8 Is The Center Verse Of The KJV Bible

     Note that Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the bible. Psalm 118 is the middle chapter in the bible. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the bible about the bible. The center verse of the KJV Bible is Psalm 118:8 that says It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It's amazing that only in a King James bible will you discover that the two middle words of the bible at Psalm 118:8 are the Lord. Also there are 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and there are 594 chapters after Psalm 118. 594+594=1188-Psalm 118:8 is the center verse of the bible.

Why Mahershalalhashbaz Is The Longest Word In The Bible With 18 Letters 

Why Did Isaiah Name His Second Son Mahershalalhashbaz

     Mahershalalhashbaz is the longest word in the bible at Isaiah 8:1. Moreover the Lord said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria. Mahershalalhashbaz is the name of Isaiah's second son and a prophetic sign given by God to King Ahaz and the people in southern Judah. 

     The name Mahershalalhashbaz translates to swift to the booty, speedy is the prey or hurry to the spoil, run to the plunder. During the 8th century BC, the southern kingdom of Judah was under threat of invasion by a coalition formed by king Pekah of the northern kingdom of Israel and king Rezin of Syria. God commanded Isaiah to use his child's name Mahershalalhashbaz as a living prophecy. God told Isaiah to write the child's name on a large scroll before reliable witnesses to publicly document the prediction. God declared that before the boy was old enough to say My father, and my mother (between 1 and 2 years of age), the wealth of Damascus, Syria and the spoil of Samaria, Israel would be carried off by the invading king of Assyria (Tilgathpilneser). The prophecy was historically fulfilled when the Assyrian Empire swiftly defeated and plundered both enemy nations (Israel and Syria) just as predicted. 

     This event served as a warning to Judah to trust God rather than relying on political alliances and the help of the Assyrian king named Tilgathpilnesar. The name Mahershalalhashbaz warned Judah and king Ahaz about God's sovereignty and the certainty of His impending judgment on the unfaithful of Israel and Syria. 

     Pekah of Israel and Rezin of Syria were fighting against Ahaz. Instead of trusting in the Lord Jesus to defeat Pekah and Rezin, Ahaz relied on Tilgathpilneser of Assyria who defeated Pekah and Rezin. As a result, Tilgathpilneser distressed Ahaz, making Ahaz and his people slaves. Ahaz suffered because he trusted in the worldly help of Tilgathpilneser instead of the Lord Jesus. 

     The prophet Isaiah said that Ahaz refused the living fountain of water called Shiloah that is Jesus and suffered as a slave because he relied on the worldly help of an Assyrian King named Tilgathpilneser. Isaiah 8:6 says Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah (called a fountain of living water or Jesus) that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son (Pekah); Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria (King Tilgathpilneser to make slaves of Ahaz and his people), and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks.

     To illustrate Ahaz's lack of faith, God used the imagery of two very different bodies of water. The waters of Shiloah was a quiet, gently flowing aqueduct that brought fresh water from the Gihon spring into the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem. Because it was small and moved slowly, it lacked the grandeur of a mighty river. Shiloah symbolizes God's quiet, steady, and faithful provision for his people. In contrast to the quiet waters of Shiloah in Jerusalem, the waters of the massive Euphrates river symbolized the overwhelming, violent power of the Assyrian Empire.

     Isaiah warned Ahaz that because he refused the gentle, life giving stream of God's protection, and opted for the heavy handed might of the Assyrian Empire, the outcome would be disastrous. God warned Ahaz that the Assyrian army he invited into Judah would act like the Euphrates river flooding its banks. The flood would not just wipe out Judah's enemies (Israel and Syria), but would also enslave Judah. Don't be like Ahaz and turn away from God to rely on human strength or flawed systems that invite a harsher master into your life than the problem you were originally trying to solve. 

     2 Chronicles 28:16 also speaks about Ahaz saying At that time did King Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. 2 Chronicles 28:20 goes on to say And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the Lord, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the King of Assyria: but he helped him not.

Why Did Isaiah And His First Son Shearjashub Meet King Ahaz At An Aqueduct

     Shearjashub was Isaiah's first son mentioned at Isaiah 7:3. Then said the Lord unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field. Why did Isaiah and his first son Shearjashub meet king Ahaz at an aqueduct (an artificial channel, pipe, or bridge like structure designed to convey water from a distant source to a specific location).

     King Ahaz was inspecting Judah's water supply at the upper pool of the Gihon spring that was Jerusalem's main source of fresh water located outside of Jerusalem's protective city walls. The water supply was important to king Ahaz because it was needed for Jerusalem's survival during a military attack from Israel and Syria. The ancient walled city of Jerusalem was excellent for keeping invaders out, but became a death trap if there was no access to water inside the walls. Ahaz was inspecting the aqueduct to see how he could channel water from the Gihon spring to Jerusalem's resevoirs so Judah's people wouldn't die of thirst while defending the walls.

     God commanded Isaiah to take his first son Shearjashub with him to meet Ahaz at the Gihon spring for the following reason. God wanted Shearjashub present because his name served as a living prophecy of both hope and judgment for king Ahaz. Ahaz was terrified of an impending invasion and was actively inspecting Jerusalem's water supply at the aqueduct to prepare for an attack from Israel and Syria. God sent Isaiah to tell king Ahaz to stay calm and trust in the Lord. Bringing the boy was a deliberate part of his message. The child's presence carried a dual symbolic meaning. 

     First, Shearjashub gives a message of hope meaning a remnant shall return. His name was a visual promise that even though enemies were threatening to destroy Judah, God would protect a surviving remnant of his people. Second, Shearjashub was a warning to king Ahaz against false alliances with Assyria and king Tilgath-pilneser. While Ahaz was obsessively calculating engineering solutions from an aqueduct and planning to buy military support from Assyria and Tilgathpilneser, he was completely ignoring God. Ahaz focused on physical water pipelines and relied on human engineering rather than on God's protection.  

     God intercepted Ahaz at the aqueduct with Isaiah and Shearjashub to show Ahaz that his true source of security was not a physical pipe, but the Lord. Unfortunately Ahaz made a political alliance with the pagan king of Assyria for protection instead of trusting God and Judah was enslaved by the Assyrians. The boy's name Shearjashub served as a quiet, stern warning to Judah that because of Ahaz's lack of faith, Judah would eventually fall into captivity, leaving only a small remnant to return later.  

Decades Later, Ahaz's Son Hezekiah Successfully Carved A Tunnel

From The Gihon Spring To The Pool Of Siloam In Jerusalem

     Decades later, Ahaz's son Hezekiah faced a similar Assyrian siege, but handled the water problem and his faith very differently. Hezekiah successfully carved a tunnel from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem. Hezekiah's Tunnel in Jerusalem, built around 701-681 BC, is a 533 meter long underground aqueduct carved through solid limestone bedrock to divert water from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam during the Assyrian siege. 

     The tunnel, famously known as Hezekiah's tunnel or the Siloam tunnel exists today and is one of the most incredible feats of ancient engineering. The process and mechanics of this engineering feat involved several specific steps. The project began at the Gihon Spring located outside the city walls of Jerusalem in the vulnerable Kidron Valley. The other end of the project began at the newly constructed Pool of Siloam that was built inside of the heavily fortified western side of Jerusalem. 

     The name Shiloah (Siloam) refers to the aqueduct, canal, or pool that received the water from the Gihon Spring. The Hebrew word Shiloah literally translates to Sent or Conduit, referring to the fact that the water was sent from the natural Gihon Spring through a channel into the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem. 

     To finish before the Assyrian army arrived, Hezekiah deployed two teams of laborers equipped with iron hand axes and chisels. One team started at the Gihon Spring, and the other team started at the Pool of Siloam. Rather than digging in a straight 1070 foot line, they carved a winding, circuitous 1749 foot route. This allowed the workers to follow natural cracks and softer paths in the limestone. When the teams got close to one another, they could hear the sound of the other crew's axes echoing through the rock. They adjusted their digging direction toward the noise until they successfully broke through the final barrier and met face to face.

     To get the water to move entirely on its own by gravity, a 6 percent gradient was designed into the excavation to allow water to flow from the Gihon Spring into the Pool of Siloam. There is only about a 12 inch drop in height from the starting point at the Gihon Spring to the endpoint at the Pool of Siloam. This flawlessly forced the fresh water to flow gently and continously into Jerusalem. Once the tunnel was completed, Hezekiah's workers sealed off and hid the external opening of the Gihon Spring so the invading Assyrians would have no water to drink during their siege. Because of this, Jerusalem had a limitless water supply contained safely within its walls at the Pool of Siloam while the invaders outside in the Kidron Valley were left parched.

     2 Kings 20:20 speaks about Hezekiah's tunnel saying And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Chronicles 32:30 says This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

And Watch A Blessed Video About Hezekiah's Tunnel That Exists Today

     Hezekiah's tunnel was discovered in 1838 by American biblical archeologist Edward Robinson and exists today. An ancient Hebrew inscription was found inside the tunnel that explains how two teams of men excavated the tunnel by simultaneously starting at opposite ends and digging toward one another through bedrock until they met in the middle. The tunnel exists today where tourists splash through its dark, ancient corridors. The picture above shows a map of Hezekiah's winding tunnel from the Gihon Spring in the Kidron Valley to the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem.

     The Siloam inscription on Hezekiah's tunnel does not mention the king by name, but instead records the dramatic, first hand account of the two digging teams breaking through the rock to meet one another. Written in ancient Paleo-Hebrew script, the six lines of readable text are incomplete due to damage over the centuries. The standard translation of the surviving text reads: "the tunneling was finished. And this was the manner of the tunneling: While the hewers were still lifting up the axe, there was heard the voice of a man calling to his fellow, for there was an overlap in the rock; and the water flowed from the source to the pool for 1200 cubits. The original inscription, removed in 1890, is currently in the Istanbul Archeology Museum.

     Jesus told a blind man to wash in the pool of Siloam to receive his sight. John 9:6 says When He (Jesus) had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is by interpretation, Sent. He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

That Lists 365 Do Not Fear Bible Verses To Bless You Every Day Of The Year

     Is there really a list of 365 Do Not Fear bible verses? Many will say there is. But is it really the truth? Well yes and no. You will most definitely find over 365 mentions about fear throughout the bible. However not all these scriptures use the wording Do Not Fear. Nevertheless, all are helpful to overcome fear. The 365 Do Not Fear bible verses give us daily reminders to live a life above fear every day of the year.

     To overcome fear, look to Jesus Christ crucified because perfect love (Jesus dying on the cross of Calvary) casteth out fear. 1 John 4:18 says There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. John 15:13 says Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (this happened when the Lord Jesus died on the cross of Calvary).  Every day say Galatians 2: 20 I am crucified with Jesus Christ and with Jesus' stripes I am healed. Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ (crucified) the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 

     If you look at Jesus Christ crucified when you speak before large groups of people, you will not be nervous or afraid. Look to Jesus Christ crucified to remove any bad thoughts. It's impossible to think a bad thought when you look by faith with your heart at Jesus Christ crucified. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says to place bad thoughts by faith on the cross of Calvary where the bad thoughts will disappear. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says 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.

Why William Shakespeare Did Not Help Translate The KJV Bible

And Place His Name In Psalm 46

     The connection between William Shakespeare and Psalm 46 is a popular legend claiming that Shakespeare hid his name within Psalm 46 of the KJV bible. The legend is based on a perceived word puzzle within Psalm 46. This false myth is an apocryphal story of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true. 

     The alleged legend hinges on two specific details in the 1611 KJV translation of Psalm 46. The 46th word from the beginning of Psalm 46 is "shake". The 46th word from the end of Psalm 46 (omitting the liturgical marker Selah) is "spear". Shakespeare was 46 years old when the KJV bible was published in 1611. 

     Proponents of this theory suggest that Shakespeare, a celebrated literary figure in King James' court, may have been involved in reviewing some of the translations and subtly inserted his name as a form of signature. Most biblical and Shakespearean scholars largely dismiss this story as an urban legend or a remarkable coincidence. 

     The KJV translators worked in committees and the idea of a single translator like Shakespeare is highly unlikely. The KJV translators names and their assigned sections are well documented, and Shakespeare is not among them. The original authors of Psalm 46 were the Sons of Korah who were ancient Levite musicians who had nothing to do with Shakespeare. Shakespeare did not secretly translate the 1611 KJV bible. 

     The theory is flawed because the words "shake" and "spear" appear in the same relative locations in earlier English translations, such as the Bishop's Bible of 1568, that was published when Shakespeare was an infant and knew nothing about Psalm 46. The KJV translation of Psalm 46 heavily relied on these previous bible versions. 

     The theory is flawed because to make "spear" be the 46th word from the end of Psalm 46, the word Selah (a musical or liturgical instruction during public worship to pause and reflect about a bible verse) must be omitted from the word count. While the coincidence of the words shake and spear appearing in Psalm 46 is intriguing, it is generally considered to be a fascinating piece of literary folklore rather than a factual historical event. Shakespeare did not secretly translate the 1611 KJV bible.
