The Goings Forth Of Jesus Part Three

     Let's look at some more goings forth of Jesus. Pictured above we see another goings forth of our Lord Jesus when Jesus (the capital A Angel of the Lord) went before Moses and the children of Israel in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to give them light to travel by day and night. This capital A Angel of the Lord that led Moses and the children of Israel was the Lord Jesus because this Angel of the Lord had the power to pardon transgressions. 

     Exodus 23:20 speaks about this Angel of the Lord who was the Lord Jesus who forgives sins and says Behold, I send (a capital A ) Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in Him. This scripture is saying to beware, fear, and obey this Angel of the Lord who is the Lord Jesus who can pardon transgressions.

     Exodus 23:22 goes on to say But if thou shalt indeed obey His voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. For mine (capital A) Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

      Jesus is the capital A Angel of the Lord who is God having the power to forgive sins. Jesus proved He is God that forgives sins when He said to the man sick of the palsy at Matthew 9:2 Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. The scribes responded to Jesus at Mark 2:7 saying Why doth this man speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? Then Jesus proved to the scribes that He is God who forgives sins by healing the man sick of the palsy, proving that the healing of the soul is more important than the healing of the body. The healing of the body is important but Jesus showed us that it is more important to rejoice with good cheer when we save and win souls to the kingdom of God.

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

 

     Pictured above we see that Moses did not obey the instructions of the Angel of the Lord Jesus when he smote the Rock (who was Jesus) two times to give the children of Israel water to drink. First God told Moses to smite the Rock. But the next time God told Moses to speak to and not smite the Rock. Because Moses disobeyed God by smiting the Rock twice, Moses could not enter into the promised land.

     The Rock that Moses smote was Jesus because 1 Corinthians 10:4 says And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. God had Moses initially smite the Rock Jesus once because Jesus at the cross of Calvary was smitten one time for our sins. Romans 6:10 says For in that He died, He died unto sin once (not many times): but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Hebrews 10:12 says 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. After Jesus died once on the cross for our sins, Jesus did not have to be smitten or sacrificed any more for our sins.

     God was telling Moses smite the Rock Jesus only one time to remove sins. But when Moses disobeyed God and smote the Rock Jesus twice, Moses could not enter the promised land because he disobeyed God's instructions to speak to and not smite the Rock Jesus a second time. Hebrews 10:11 says And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But our high priest Jesus' one offering (not many offerings) and sacrificial death at the cross of Calvary removed our sins forever. 

     Hebrews 9:12 says Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He (Jesus) entered in once (not many times) into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

     First God told Moses to smite the Rock at Exodus 17:6 that says Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the Rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the Rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. But the next time the people wanted water from the Rock, God told Moses to speak to and not smite the Rock.

     The second time God told Moses to speak to and not smite the Rock is recorded at Numbers 20:7. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye (notice God told Moses to speak to and not smite the Rock) unto the Rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth His water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the Rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

     Moses disobeyed God's command and Numbers 20:11 says And Moses lifted up his hand and with his rod he smote the Rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

     You might say Brother Bob why are you posting a picture above of a remote monastery built on a Rock that is accessible only by an aerial tramway? The reason is to prove that our bodies are the temple of the living God that needs to be built upon the Rock Jesus to live and have peace. Daily with your hearts, look by faith to Jesus Christ crucified while you build your house by faith on the Rock Jesus, telling the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:20) and the blood of Jesus has overcome and defeated you devil for ever (Revelation 12:11). Jesus said at Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a Rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock (Jesus).

     Our Rock Jesus is not like the other rocks of this world that people worship. Their rock is not as our Rock Jesus. Deuteronomy 32:30 says How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. Our Rock Jesus is greater than any other rock in this world. 1 John 4:4 says Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He (Jesus) that is in you, than he that is in the world.  Pictured above we see that our Rock Jesus encouraged us and said at Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock (Jesus) I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (the Rock Jesus).

     Pictured above we see another goings forth of our Lord Jesus when Joshua was visited by the Lord Jesus who is the captain of the Lord's host that conquered Jericho. Paul told us that Jesus is the captain of our salvation that appeared to Joshua at Hebrews 2:10. For it became Him (Jesus), for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

     Jesus is called the captain (general commander) of the Lord's host (army of angels). James 5:4 tells us that Jesus is the Lord of sabaoth (captain general over an army host of angels). Psalm 91:11 says For He (Jesus) shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

     The scripture that talks about captain Jesus who is the God man that appeared to Joshua is at Joshua 5:13. And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And He said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship (notice Joshua worshipped captain Jesus who is God), and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

     When Joshua asked captain Jesus, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? Jesus responded and told Joshua, Son I didn't come to take sides, I came to take over. And Jesus went forth with His angels as the captain of the Lord's host to win the victory for Joshua at the battle of Jericho where the walls of Jericho fell down (descended from a higher place to a lower place and sunk into the earth). Today at Jericho the walls exist and can be seen that were discovered by archeologist Kathleen Kenyon in the 1950s.

     Now after Jesus won the victory for Joshua at the battle of Jericho, pictured above we see that the Lord Jesus gave Joshua great authority. Joshua said sun stand thou still upon Gibeon and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven. Then Joshua said moon stand thou still in the valley of Ajalon. God honored Joshua's prayer and the moon and the sun didn't move until God's people won the victory.

     Joshua 10:12 says Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 

     Joshua 10:13 says And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.

     For our final goings forth of our Lord Jesus, we see pictured above Jesus who is the Son of God walking in the midst of the burning fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Nebuchadnezzar said that he saw the Lord Jesus who is the Son of God and fourth man in the burning fiery furnace freeing the three Hebrew boys who were not harmed by the fire.

     Daniel 3:23 tells us how Jesus freed the three Hebrew boys from the burning fiery furnace. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered, and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

     Note that the KJV bible correctly says at Daniel 3:25 that Nebuchadnezzar saw a fourth man in the burning fiery furnace who is the Son of God (Jesus). Note that the corrupt translated NIV, RSV, ESV, and the New King James version with a corrupt footnote deny that Jesus, the Son of God, was the fourth man in the burning fiery furnace that freed the three Hebrew boys. These corrupt bible versions say that the fourth man in the burning fiery furnace was a son of the gods, denying that Jesus is the only begotten virgin born Son of God. Daniel 3:25 in the NIV says He said, Look. I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods. Don't preach or study from these corrupt bible translations. Only preach and study from a 1611 KJV bible.

     Daniel 3:26 goes on to say Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

     Note that after Nebuchadnezzar sinned through pride, he became an animal for seven years that ate grass like oxen, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws. But Nebuchadnezzar humbled himself, got saved, and became king again. Nebuchadnezzar is a child of God and is in heaven. Brother Bob wants to meet Nebuchadnezzar when he gets to heaven. Jesus said at Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 

     Rejoice while you read Nebuchadnezzar's blessed praise after he got saved and worshipped our Lord Jesus. Daniel 4:34 says And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured Him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation. And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest thou? 

     Daniel 4:36 goes on to say At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of thy kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and His ways judgment: and those that walk in pride He is able to abase.  

     Rejoice while you read these blessed sayings. When the Lord Jesus returns during the rapture, the dead in Christ will rise first and say O grave, where is thy victory? Then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and say O death, where is thy sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55 says O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? We're getting out of here like Superman during the rapture, but we're coming back like the Lone Ranger on white horses to this earth after the seven year great tribulation period.

      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. 

The Goings Forth Of Jesus Part Two

     Let's look at some more goings forth of our Lord Jesus. Pictured above we see another going forth of Jesus that occurred when Jesus who is Melchizedek, the King of Righteousness and King of Peace appeared to Abraham. Genesis 14:18 says And Melchizedek (King of righteousness in Hebrew) king of Salem (Peace) brought forth bread and wine (remembering the crucifixion of Jesus by communion with the breaking of bread and drinking of the wine): and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him (Abraham), and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

     The following scriptures prove that Jesus is Melchizedek, the King of righteousness and King of Salem or peace who appeared to Abraham. First Revelation 19:16 says Jesus is the King of kings. And He (Jesus) hath on His vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Jesus is righteousness saying But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Therefore Jesus is Melchizedek who is the King of righteousness that blessed Abraham. The prophet Isaiah said that Jesus is the King of Salem or the Prince of Peace at Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

     Hebrews 6:20 speaks about Melchisedec who is Jesus. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of Peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Melchisedec is Jesus who said at Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

     Notice the two pictures above of a Levite priest and the bread and wine received during communion remembering the high priest Jesus for ever after the order of Melchisedec. First, under the law, only the tribe of Levi could be priests. Joshua 18:7 says But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. But now the law has been changed and the priesthood comes from the tribe of Judah because Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Juda and our high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Revelation 5:5 says And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

     The priesthood that lasts for ever with Jesus comes from the tribe of Judah and not Levi because the law about priesthood has been changed. Hebrews 7:11 says If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received the law, what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron (from Levi)? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. For He of whom these things are spoken (Jesus) pertaineth to another tribe (Juda), of which no man gave attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

     Hebrews 7:15 says And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest (Jesus), Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For He testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melshisedec. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

     And now the Lord Jesus is our high priest who ever liveth to make intercession for us. Hebrews 7:25 says Wherefore He (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. James 5:16 says Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Jesus is the righteous man that is always praying for saved saints whose effectual fervent prayers availeth much (note that the Hebrew definition for availeth much is that Jesus' prayers will happen and give extraordinary strength and power by miracles from angels to overcome any trouble). 

Why Did The Lord Jesus Sit Down On The Right Hand Of The Throne

Of The Majesty Of God In The Third Heaven After He Died On The Cross

     The first picture above is of a high priest under the law who could not sit down in the temple because his job was never done. These high priests stood daily ministering and continually offering the same sacrifices of bulls, goats, and calves which could never take away sins. The second picture above shows us that the high priest Jesus got the job done of removing our sins for ever when He died on the cross of Calvary and sat down on the right hand of the throne of God in the third heaven. Hebrews 10:10 says By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Our high priest Jesus made a statement by sitting down in the third heaven on the right hand of God and proclaiming at the cross of Calvary it is finished when the Lord Jesus removed our sins for ever by the sacrifice of Himself.

     Hebrews 10:11 says And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But our high priest Jesus sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty of God in the third heaven removing our sins for ever. Hebrews 10:12 says 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.

     Hebrews 8:1 says Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest (Jesus), who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. And when our high priest Jesus sat down in the third heaven, we can all rejoice and say Revelation 1:5. 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.

     After Jesus sat down on the right hand of God to remove our sins, another going forth of Jesus occurred when Jesus stood up on the right hand of God to welcome Stephen home to heaven when Stephen was stoned to death. 

     Acts 7:54 says When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he (Stephen), being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing (not sitting) on the right hand of God.

 

     Another going forth of the Lord Jesus occurred when Jacob wrestled with our Lord Jesus who appeared as a theophany pre incarnate visible manifestation of God. Many people say that an angel and not Jesus wrestled with Jacob. But take time to read the following scriptures that prove that Jesus wrestled and blessed Jacob. The prophet Hosea said at Hosea 12:3 He (Jacob) took his brother (Esau) by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God (notice that Hosea said Jacob wrestled with God who is Jesus): Yea, he had power over the angel (now Hosea says Jacob wrestled with an angel that shows how Jesus was also a man but Jesus also is God), and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial. 

     Genesis 32:22 says And he (Jacob) rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man (Jesus) with him until the breaking of day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And He said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

     Genesis 32:28 says And He (Jesus) said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God (note Jesus Himself proclaimed to Jacob that He is God) and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And He said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And He blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel (called facing God who is Jesus): for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. Jacob said he saw God who is Jesus and not just an angel face to face. Jesus went forth from the Father and made a pre-incarnate theophany visible appearance to bless Jacob and call him Israel and a prince with God.

     For our final going forth of Jesus today, pictured above we see Jesus who is the I AM God that appeared and spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Jesus proclaimed that He is the I AM God and said at John 8:58 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Exodus 3:13 records the conversation that Moses had with Jesus who is the I AM God at the burning bush: And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning

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

The Goings Forth Of Jesus Part One

     Today's bible study will look at the many goings forth of the Lord Jesus. Micah declared that Jesus has been going forth from of old, from everlasting and said at Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah (house of bread and a place of fruitfulness), though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He (Jesus) come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Note that the KJV bible correctly states that Jesus is the everlasting God and called I AM THAT I AM. Only preach and study from a 1611 KJV bible. False translated NIV, ESV, And RSV bibles deny that Jesus is the everlasting God where Micah 5:2 says Jesus' origins are from of old, from ancient times.

     According to Micah 5:2, Jesus has been existing and going forth before the earth was created, from of old, from everlasting. Before the heavens and earth were created, before there was light and darkness, before there was a sun or a moon, and before anything, the Lord Jesus existed. Jesus always has been, always is, always will be, and there's never been a time when He wasn't. Jesus is the eternal everlasting God of this universe. Jesus Himself said at Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty (note that the Greek definition for Almighty is God where Jesus Himself proclaimed that He is God). Tell every Muslim that says Jesus did not say he is God to study Revelation 1:8 where Jesus Himself said that He is Almighty God.

     Romans 10:9 says to get saved a person must confess that Jesus is God proven by Micah 5:2 and Revelation 1:8. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Jehovah Witnesses, Muslims, and Jews who deny that Jesus is God are not saved. We must love and pray for these lost sinners and hope that they confess that Jesus is God and get saved. 

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

     Let's look at some of the first goings forth of the Lord Jesus that occurred when Jesus who is the Word of God created this earth. According to John 1:1 pictured above Jesus who is the Word of God that was with God in the beginning went forth from God's mouth to create the earth. Every time God said anything in Genesis Chapter 1, the Word Jesus created everything. Colossians 1:16 says 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.

     John 1:1 says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. Revelation 19:13 confirms that Jesus who is the Word is God saying And He (Jesus) was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. 

     One of the first goings forth of Jesus occurred when Jesus was the spoken Word from God's mouth to create light. When God said at Genesis 1:3 pictured above Let there be light: and there was light, the Word Jesus went forth from God's mouth and the Word Jesus made light. 

     Take time to meditate on the following scriptures that prove that Jesus always existed and is God before the earth existed. According to John 17:5 Jesus said And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. According to this blessed scripture, before the world existed, Jesus was with the Father and they were both glorified together.

     Now lets move down several verses to John 17:24 where Jesus said Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Jesus proclaimed that He existed before the earth was created and that the Father loved Him before the foundation of the world. 

     Jesus was foreordained before the foundation of the world to redeem sinners with His own precious sinless blood shed at the cross of Calvary to free us from the bondage of sin. 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. Redeem means to recover something by paying a price. The Lord Jesus paid the ransom price demanded by God for the release of sinners with His own precious blood that bought back and delivered sinners from the captivity and punishment of hell and the lake of fire. 

     Pictured above we see another going forth of Jesus when Jesus who is the spoken Word from God's mouth created the sun and the moon. Genesis 1:14 says And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also. 

     My good friend Sonny Mull described how Jesus who is the spoken Word of God created the sun and moon. Sonny said that before there was a sun in the sky, God had a Son by His side and sent forth Jesus to place the sun in the sky along with the moon. Then the Word Jesus went forth and placed the stars in the sky. And then the Word Jesus went forth and created Adam and Eve along with the animals.

     When Jesus walked on this earth He told everyone that He existed before the earth was created at John 6:62. What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He was before? Jesus said when I rise after my death, I'll rise to be with my Father where I was before the earth existed. Then Jesus confirmed again that He existed before the earth was created by stating at John 8:58 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. Again Jesus proclaimed that He is God by saying He is the I AM God that appeared to Moses at the burning bush.

     When the Lord Jesus walked on this earth, the Lord Jesus was also at the same time in heaven. John 3:13 says And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He (Jesus) that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Like the Lord Jesus, saved christians are on the earth and at the same time seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4 says But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved; And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

     Philippians 3:20 says For our conversation (note that the Greek definition for conversation is citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. Saved saints' spirits and souls currently are citizens in heaven while their bodies are on earth. Therefore saved saints' bodies, souls, and spirits are looking simultaneously from earth and heaven for the soon return of our Lord Jesus during the rapture. My good friend Bill Grady said "Our looking for Jesus is a bilocation phenomenon of being in two places simultaneously; while we look for Jesus down here, we also look for Jesus up there." 

     Let's move on to the next going forth of our Lord Jesus that proves that Jesus existed when the earth was being created. According to Job, the Lord Jesus went forth singing and shouting for joy as the bright morning star when the Father laid the foundations of the earth. Job 38:4 says Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone (who is Jesus) thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 

     Jesus said at Revelation 22:16 I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. Isaiah 14:12 in the KJV bible says How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (devil), son of the morning (not morning star incorrectly stated in the NIV perverted translation; Jesus (not the devil) is the bright morning star at Revelation 22:16). Therefore only study from a KJV bible instead of any modern translated bible.

     Take time to look at the conversation that the Father had with His Son Jesus when the Father called His Son Jesus God whose throne is for ever and ever that existed before the earth was created. Tell lost sinners that deny that Jesus is God Hebrews 1:8 where the Father called His Son Jesus God. But unto the Son (Jesus) He (The Father) saith, Thy throne, O God (the Father called His Son Jesus God), is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 

     Also note that when the Lord Jesus walked on this earth, He was also in heaven at the same time confirming that Jesus is God. The KJV bible correctly quotes Jesus at John 3:13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Note that all the false translated bible versions (NIV, ESV, RSV, and the New King James Version with a corrupt footnote) all deny that Jesus is God who coexisted at the same time in heaven and on earth. John 3:13 in the corrupt RSV translation says No one has ascended into heaven but He who descended from heaven, the Son of man.

     Only preach and study from a 1611 KJV bible. The devil's first place of attack is against the infallible 1611 KJV bible by creating hundreds of false translated bibles to stop people from getting saved. This is because God's Word is exalted above the name of Jesus. Psalm 138:2 says I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy name. Remember that the first thing the devil attacked was the Word of God when the devil told Eve at Genesis 3:1 Yea, hath God said.    

     Pictured above Job 26:7 says He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. The earth just exists because the Word Jesus spoke it into existence and it hangeth upon nothing. So if this earth is just floating in space at God's command, the Lord Jesus can create new heavens and a new earth floating in space that hangeth upon nothing.

     And during the great white throne judgment, this current heavens and earth will flee away from the face of Jesus and there will be no place for them. Revelation 20:11 says And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it (Jesus), from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Jesus is so powerful that when He just looks at the billions of stars and infinite galaxies, they immediately will disappear. 

     2 Peter 3:10 says But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

     And note that when all the lost sinners that ever lived who rejected the Lord Jesus will stand before Judge Jesus at the great white throne judgment, they will be standing on nothing in eternity where our Lord Jesus dwells according to Isaiah 57:15. The lake of fire will exist though at the great white throne judgment because God is a consuming fire according to Hebrews 12:29, and all the unbelievers that rejected Jesus will be cast into the lake of fire. God's consuming fire won't harm saved saints because Isaiah 43:2 says When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 

     After the great white throne judgment, the Lord Jesus will create new (infinite) heavens and a new earth with the new Jerusalem where the saved saints will live forever. Isaiah 66:22 says For as the new (infinite) heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. Revelation 21:1 says And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Bible Runners And Goliath's Four Brothers

     Today's bible study will look at several bible runners in the Word of God and speak about Goliath's four brothers who were all born to a giant in Gath. Peter and John are our first bible runners pictured above who both ran to the tomb of Jesus to receive hope that the tomb was empty, rejoicing in Jesus' resurrection and victory over death. Mary Magdalene first ran to Peter and John telling them that the Lord Jesus had been taken out of the sepulchre or tomb.

     After hearing the good news, Peter and John both ran together to the tomb of Jesus. John outran Peter and came first to the tomb of Jesus, but did not go into the tomb. But when Peter arrived at Jesus' tomb, Peter went into Jesus' tomb. Then John went into Jesus' tomb and seeing that Jesus had risen from the dead believed. As a result, Peter and John rejoiced and  proclaimed everywhere Jesus is risen, Jesus is risen, and lives forevermore.

     We find the story about Peter and John running to the tomb of Jesus at John 20:1 that says The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple (John), whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

     John 20:4 goes on to say So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie. And the napkin, that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

     Our second bible runner pictured above is Zacchaeus who ran to get saved and see Jesus by climbing up a sycomore tree because he was little of stature. I pray in Jesus name, all my friends reading this in any nation can be like Zacchaeus and run to Jesus and get saved. 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. Choose Jesus and receive peace and joy forevermore.

     The story about how Zacchaeus ran to Jesus to be saved is at Luke 19:2 that says And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who He was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see Him: for He was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. Usually sinners look up to God to get saved. But in this story, God (the Lord Jesus) was looking up at a sinner (Zacchaeus), and a sinner (Zacchaeus) was looking down at God (the Lord Jesus) and got saved.

     Zacchaeus was up in a sycomore tree grinning and waiting for Jesus. And Jesus came down the road preaching. All of a sudden, Jesus got underneath that sycomore tree and stopped. And Zacchaeus said, Oh no, He has treed me. Zacchaeus couldn't get down that sycomore tree without going by Jesus. Zacchaeus made haste and shimmied down the slick bark of the sycomore tree, met Jesus, and got saved. I'm so glad that one day in 1982 like Zacchaeus, Jesus treed and saved Brother Bob. I pray in Jesus name that we all can say I've been treed by Jesus and the only way I can be free is to get saved with Jesus by the way of the cross of Calvary.

     Our third bible runner pictured above is David who made haste and ran with the Lord Jesus to slay the giant Goliath for victory. We all need to be like David and not run from the devil but at the devil with the Lord Jesus. James 4:7 gives us instructions on how to defeat the devil. James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God (In other words look with your heart to Jesus crucified telling the devil every day I am crucified with Jesus Christ and the blood of Jesus has overcome and defeated you devil while you thank Jesus for destroying all your fears and problems forevermore at the cross of Calvary). Now look at the next part of this verse and what will occur after you submit to the Lord Jesus that says Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Don't run from the devil. Walk daily with the Lord Jesus and the devil will run away from you.

     Proverbs 28:1 says The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. Tell the devil according to the Word of God I ain't chasing you devil, but you flee from me anyway. The bible scripture that tells us how David ran with the Lord Jesus to slay the giant Goliath for victory is at 1 Samuel 17:48 and says And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

     Notice the picture above of five smooth stones. Why did David take five smooth stones to fight against the giant Goliath? David knew that Goliath had four giant brothers named Ishbibenob (his dwelling is in Nob or a high place), Saph (tall), Lahmi (my bread), and a giant who had a total of 24 fingers and toes, believing that the five smooth stones would slay Goliath and his four giant brothers. Also note that David told Goliath that he fought against him in the name of the Lord believing that the name of his five smooth stones was JESUS, a letter for each smooth stone. 

     The bible records that Goliath and his four giant brothers were all sons of the same giant from Gath. The bible tells us that all four of Goliath's giant brothers were slain. Ishbibenob was slain by Abishai and 2 Samuel 21:16 says And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed 300 shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David (beloved). But Abishai (My father is a gift) the son of Zeruiah (balsam) succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him.

     Next Saph was slain by Sibbechai and 2 Samuel 21:18 goes on to say And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob (cistern): then Sibbechai (weaver) the Hushathite (inhabitant of Hush or haste) slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant. Next Lahmi was slain by Elhanan discussed below in two places of the bible at 2 Samuel 21:19 and 1 Chronicles 20:5 which states that Lahmi was Goliath's giant brother.

     2 Samuel 21:19 says And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan (God has been gracious) the son of Jaareoregim (forests of the weaver), a Bethlehemite (house of bread), slew the brother of Goliath (splendour), the Gittite (belonging to Gath or a winepress), the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam (in other words his spear was huge and the size of the large wooden beam of a loom). 1 Chronicles 20:5 tells us that the giant killed by Elhanan was the brother of Goliath named Lahmi and says And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.

     Finally Goliath's fourth giant brother who had a total of 24 fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot was slain by Jonathan and 2 Samuel 21:20 says And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant. And when he defied Israel, Jonathan (Jehovah has given) the son of Shimeah (fame) the brother of David slew him.

     Now take time to compare 1 Chronicles 20:5 with 2 Samuel 21:22 and you will find that since Lahmi was Goliath's brother, all four giants and Goliath were all the sons of one giant in Gath. 2 Samuel 21:22 says These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

     Our fourth bible runner pictured above is Philip who ran as a preacher to save a lost Ethiopian eunuch. Let's all be like Philip and run and witness Jesus everywhere. Everyone needs to wake up and run to sinners, telling them the gospel message of our Lord Jesus Christ before these sinners perish. Jesus said at Matthew 9:37 The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.

     The bible scripture where Philip ran to preach Jesus to a lost Ethiopian eunuch is at Acts 8:29 and says Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? Acts 8:35 goes on to say Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

     Our fifth and final bible runner pictured above is the father of the prodigal son who ran to welcome his lost son home. When sinners take a step to the Lord Jesus, the Lord Jesus runs to them, saves them from their sins, and gives them everlasting blessings. Notice that the prodigal son just walked to his father, but the father ran to bless his prodigal son. Learn a lesson from this story and when we all step to Jesus daily by faith, Jesus will run to us and bless us with peace, joy, and eternal life.

     The bible scripture where the father ran to bless his prodigal son is at Luke 15:20 and says And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. Remember friends when we take a step to Jesus, Jesus runs to bless us. James 4:8 says Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

     For my final picture above we see a preacher who tried to use an educated spiritual horse named Pete to draw a crowd. After he brought Pete the horse into his church, the preacher told the people I want to introduce you to Pete the educated spiritual horse. The preacher told the church that Pete knew the bible better than some deacons and preachers. 

     The preacher asked Pete the horse, Pete how many fish did the little boy give Jesus to feed the multitudes? Pete pawed 2 times. Then the preacher asked Pete how many loaves of bread did the little boy give Jesus to feed the multitudes? Pete pawed 5 times. Then the preacher asked Pete how many waterpots were there when Jesus turned the water into wine? Pete pawed 6 times. Then the preacher asked Pete how many disciples were there? Pete pawed 12 times. Then somebody yelled from the congregation, Hey Pete, how many hypocrites are in this church? And Pete started running all around the church.  

     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.     

Three Men In A Crowded Chariot

     For today's bible study we will look at three men in a crowded chariot. Today we will learn that some man Philip told a man the ethiopian eunuch about some other man the Lord Jesus Christ. Take time to read the story of Philip preaching Jesus to the ethiopian eunuch at Acts 8:26-40 and pay close attention to the words some man (the preacher soul winner Philip), a man (the sinner eunuch), and some other man (the Lord Jesus Christ) who were three men riding in a crowded chariot. 

     Acts 8:26 says And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip saying Arise and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went; and behold A MAN (a sinner) of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship was returning, and sitting in his chariot, read Esaias the prophet.

     Acts 8:29 goes on to say Then the spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except SOME MAN (the preacher Philip) should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. While the eunuch was reading Isaiah 53, he asked Philip at Acts 8:34 I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of SOME OTHER MAN (the Lord Jesus). In other words, the eunuch said Philip is Isaiah 53 talking about the prophet Isaiah or some other man. Philip the preacher (some man) told the sinner eunuch (a man) about the Lord Jesus (some other man), and the  sinner eunuch got saved. So some man told a man about some other man.

     Notice that the ethiopian eunuch was a man of great authority over a lot money as a treasurer for queen Candace. He was a wealthy businessman with great responsiblity who was trusted to keep records of the money in the treasury of queen Candace. This eunuch wasn't a man of low degree who had no education just bumming around; He was a man who had money, authority, and power, who was a ruler that could get things done, but he did not understand God's Word. Even though he was wealthy, religious, and sought God by going to Jerusalem, the eunuch did not know God. He'd been to Jerusalem to worship and was on his way back to Ethiopia Africa in a chariot riding through the Gaza desert reading Isaiah 53.

     This ethiopian eunuch was like Nicodemus pictured above who was a rich ruler among the Jews who needed to learn about the Lord Jesus. They were both religious but did not know God. The great authority and wealth of the ethiopian eunuch and Nicodemus could not save them. Jesus explained to Nicodemus that you have to be born again to see the kingdom of God. Jesus told Nicodemus; You are a ruler among the Jews and don't you understand these things. Jesus told Nicodemus at John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 

     Jesus explained to Nicodemus that to go to heaven one must be born again. John 1:12 tells us how to be born again and states that But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name; Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (born of God or born again). Therefore to be born again and go to heaven one must get saved, repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

     Note that eventually the ethiopian eunuch got saved by saying at Acts 8:37 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Friends everywhere look up at the picture above and Brother Bob asks you is Acts 8:37 in your bible. If not, get rid of that bible and get a 1611 King James Version bible that includes Acts 8:37. Many translated bibles have removed Acts 8:37 and have denied that Jesus is the Son of God claiming that Jesus only came from earthly parents. Brother Bob proclaims to all the earth that Acts 8:37 belongs in the bible and that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe this right now today and get saved and warn people to not read translated bibles that deny the diety and virgin birth of our Lord Jesus. Jesus is God and Jesus is the Son of God.

     No matter how rich we are or how poor we are; how smart we are or how ignorent we are, we need to get saved, repent, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for us, was buried, and rose again. Power, intelligence, good works, and riches don't get a person to heaven. Only trusting Jesus can get a person to heaven. We need to preach Jesus Christ crucified and not prosperity messages and be wise and win souls to the Lord Jesus. May we all become God's servants telling sinners about a Savior named Jesus. Lord Jesus, let not the blood of men be on our hands while we witness Jesus to every nation on the earth.

     Notice the above picture of ethiopian brothers and sisters happy to receive bibles to learn about the Lord Jesus. Someone in Jerusalem cared enough about the ethiopian eunuch to give him a copy of Isaiah 53 from the bible. I pray in Jesus name everyone reading this can care enough to preach the Word of God about the Lord Jesus to the multitudes all over this earth. The ethiopian eunuch was religious and traveled to Jerusalem to worship and find God. He drove a long way in a chariot through the desert from Ethiopia to Jerusalem seeking God, but didn't find God. While he was in Jerusalem though, some faithful saint gave him a tract or a copy of Isaiah 53 from the bible that he was reading when he returned home to Ethiopia.

     Somebody cared enough about the eunuch to give him a copy of Isaiah 53. Some soul winner interested in leading people to the Lord Jesus cared enough about the ethiopian eunuch and made it possible for him to get a copy of the Word of God. Because this unknown soul winner gave the Word of God to the eunuch at Jerusalem, the eunuch got saved when he heard Philip explain Isaiah 53 to him. Lord Jesus, let all my friends that read this everywhere make a decision today to send your blessed Word everywhere on this internet to the uttermost parts of this earth to save multitudes of sinners. We all need to get the Word of God into the hands of sinners all over this earth so everyone has the hope of salvation and eternal life with the Lord Jesus.

     Realize that even though the ethiopian eunuch got a membership card like the one above from the Jerusalem worship center and shook a pastor's hand in Jerusalem like the man above, this did not get him saved. The ethiopian eunuch was religious, but he was lost. Today just because a person joins a church doesn't mean they're saved and born again. Just because a person walks down an aisle, shakes a six foot spiritual icicle's hand, answers some questions, does some good works, gets dunked in the pool, and blends in with the crowd, it won't save him. To 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 multitudes of people today that are religious but lost. Billy Graham said his ministry was not so much bringing lost people to Jesus, but bringing lost church members to Jesus. Just because someone signs their name on the dotted line of a church membership card checking baptism, membership, and salvation does not save them. Three checks and your name on a church membership card will never get you to heaven; getting baptized won't get you to heaven; going to church every Sunday and shaking the preachers hand and crying on his shoulder will never get you to heaven. You have to be born again and saved trusting Jesus' finished work at the cross of Calvary and not your good works to get you to heaven. Trust Jesus and go to heaven; Trust anything else and go to hell.

     Just going into a church house every week won't save anyone. A person must trust in the finished work that Jesus did at the cross of Calvary to be saved. If I go into a garage that doesn't make me a car. If I go into a barn with some mules that doesn't make me a mule. If I go into a bakery that doesn't make me a donut. I might look like one but that doesn't make me a donut. And if any sinner goes into a church house every week, that doesn't make them a saved christian.

     If anyone seeks to be saved and learn about Jesus, God will send a preacher or soul winner to them to help them find Jesus, if they are sincere and truly want to be saved. Deuteronomy 4:29 says But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find Him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. God knew that the ethiopian eunuch was sincere and seeking God with all his heart, and He sent his servant Philip down beside the road to pick him up, to bear him up, and to teach him what thus saith the scripture. 

     What we should notice about Philip is that he was faithful in preaching the good news of Jesus. When the ethiopian eunuch asked Philip to explain Isaiah 53, Acts 8:35 says Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. A man on his way to hell met a man on his way to heaven and the man on his way to heaven told him how to get to heaven.  This caused the ethiopian eunuch to get saved and say I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

     Like Philip, we should preach about Jesus to a lost and dying world. Too many people have withdrawn their witness for Jesus inside the four walls of a church building and failed to send the gospel message about Jesus to the uttermost parts of the earth. People need to hear about Jesus all over this world and not just in a church building to avoid being lost forever in the darkness of hell. We've got to get the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the lost and the dying of this world. Some man has got to go tell a man about some other man named Jesus who will save his soul. The gospel is not a secret to be hoarded but a story to be heralded. Jesus said at Mark 16:15 Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

     After the ethiopian eunuch got saved, Philip and the ethiopian eunuch went down to the water straightway and Philip baptized the eunuch and when they came up, Philip (some man) was caught away by the Spirit and went to Azotus to preach a great revival, the eunuch (a man) went home to Ethiopia rejoicing, and the Lord Jesus (some other man) went with both of them.

     Some man told a man lost without God how to find some other man who was Jesus. Therefore to experience salvation there needs to be three men present like the ones in the crowded chariot of Acts 8 that are a sinner, a preacher, and the Lord Jesus. The only thing that got kicked out of the chariot was sin. 

     Notice that in order to get sinners saved, one must put Jesus and soul winning in our chariots. In order to do this we all need to stay clean and clear of sin. The good news is that with Jesus daily we will be cleansed from all sin. Daily look to Jesus crucified by faith with your hearts and the blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all sin. 

     Do not entertain the thought of foolishness for the very thought of foolishness is sin. Proverbs 24:9 says The thought of foolishness is sin, and the scorner is an abomination to men. If you get a bad thought just look with your heart to Jesus on the cross and I guarantee that any bad thought will immediately disappear. Try it once; Just close your eyes and see with your heart Jesus on the cross and it will be impossible for you to have any bad thoughts. The blood of Jesus (the same yesterday, today, and forever according to Hebrews 13:8) will remove the bad thoughts.

     Also look to Jesus on the cross while sleeping to have no nightmares. The bad thought or nightmare will disappear when you look with your heart by faith to Jesus crucified. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Jesus Christ crucified and any bad thoughts will immediately go away. 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us 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.
