Revelation 4 And God's Throne

 


1) First A Door Was Opened In Heaven
With A Voice Saying Come Up Hither

     Revelation 4 describes God's throne that saved saints will see forever in heaven. John said at Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. In the book of Revelation, a door opens two times; The first time the door opens at Revelation 4:1, the church (exemplified by the beloved John) gets caught up in the rapture to be with the door Jesus. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

     The second time the door opens at Revelation 19:11, the church comes down to earth from heaven with Jesus on white horses to fight the beast and the false prophet. This scripture says And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. Revelation 19:14 goes on to say And the armies (saved saints) which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. The church and saved saints don't go through the 7 year tribulation mentioned from Revelation 5 to Revelation 18 (the church is not in any of these chapters). 


Come Up Hither Occurs Three Times In The Bible 
1) Firstfruits-Resurrection of 144000 Old Testament Jewish Saints
2) Harvest-Resurrection Of The Bride Church
3) Gleanings-Resurrection Of Old Testament And Tribulation Saints
4) Millennial Saints Receive Their Glorified Bodies At The Millennium's End
The Above Four Resurrections Are Called The First Resurrection

     Four resurrections are noted in the Word of God. 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 describes these four resurrections: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ (Jesus is the first to be resurrected), the firstfruits (144000 resurrected Jewish saints who return to earth from heaven during the tribulation) Revelation 14:4 says These 144000 were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. After Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected, Matthew 27:52 says And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints (only the firstfruits who are the144000 Jewish saints and not all the old testament saints) which slept arose, And (the 144000 old testament Jewish saints) came out of the graves after His (Jesus') resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 1 Corinthians 15:23 continues to say afterward they that are Christ's at His coming (the resurrected harvest or bride church at the rapture). Then cometh the end (the resurrection of old testament and tribulation saints called the gleanings), when He (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 

     The phrase "Come up hither" appears three times in the bible describing the above noted three resurrections. God's Word tells us about three "Come up hithers" that describe the resurrections of the 144000 Jewish old testament saints, the bride church, the old testament saints, and the tribulation saints. The first "Come up hither" describing the 144000 Jewish old testament saints resurrecting first is at Proverbs 25:7: For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

     The second "Come up hither" describing the rapture of the bride church occurs at Revelation 4:1 that says After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 

     The third "Come up hither" describing the rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints represented by the two witnesses (Moses and Elijah) occurs at Revelation 11:12: And they (Moses and Elijah) heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. The rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints by the reaper angels like wheat gathered into a barn separated from the tares is described at the following two scriptures: Matthew 24:31 says And He (Jesus) shall send His angels (the reapers) with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect (old testament and tribulation saints) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 13:30 says Let both grow together (wheat and tares) until the harvest (rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints): and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers (angels), Gather ye together first the tares (people that rejected Jesus), and bind them in bundles to burn them (in the lake of fire): but gather the wheat (old testament and tribulation saints) into my barn (storehouse in heaven).

     Revelation 14:14-16 also describes the rapture of the old testament and tribulation saints that is different from the earlier rapture of the bride church. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man (Jesus), having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap; for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And He that sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. When Jesus thrusts in His sickle the reaper angels will gather the old testament and tribulation saints up to heaven to join the bride church army of God.

     Revelation 14:17-20 says And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

     To summarize Revelation 14:14-20, after the first rapture of the bride church that gets caught up to the clouds to meet Jesus, before Jesus touches the Mount of Olives on this earth, Jesus will again appear upon a cloud with a golden crown using a sharp sickle for a second rapture by angels who gather the old testament and tribulation saints to join the bride church army in heaven. Next two other angels will reap the tares (bind all those that rejected Jesus into bundles and use fire to burn them in the lake of fire). At the battle of Armegeddon Jesus will return to earth after touching the Mount of Olives with his army (the bride church, old testament saints, and the tribulation saints) to cast the beast antichrist and the false prophet into the lake of fire alive. Jesus will return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah to rule and reign with a rod of iron on this earth for 1000 years, trampling those that rejected Jesus like a winepress where the blood will be unto the horse bridles for 200 miles that is 1600 furlongs.

     Daniel 12:1-2 describes the resurrection of the old testament saints (separate and after the bride church's earlier resurrection at the rapture) that occurs with the tribulation saints' resurrection at the end of the tribulation: And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time (the great 7 year tribulation): and at that time thy people (old testament and tribulation saints) shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

     The resurrection of the millennial saints at the end of the millennium is described at Revelation 20:4-5 that says And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years (resurrected tribulation saints). But the rest of the dead (millennial saints) lived not again until the thousand years were finished (resurrection of the millennial saints at the end of the millennium). This is the first resurrection (old testament, church, tribulation, and millennial saints).  

     Revelation 20:6 goes on to say Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Hallelujah, saved saints in the church are kings and priests with Jesus that will rule and reign with Jesus over cities during the millennium and forever in the kingdom of God. Revelation 1:6 tells us that Jesus has made christians in the church kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  



2) Saints Will Hear The Trump Of God (God's Voice)
Not A Trumpet Blown By An Angel
When They Get Caught Up To Heaven

     Next we see at Revelation 4:1 (like John) saints will hear the Lord Jesus' voice (the trump of God) when they get caught up to heaven to be with Jesus in the clouds. John said at Revelation 4:1 the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me. Notice that an angel was not blowing this trumpet; this trumpet was talking with John who represents the church and was the Lord Jesus' voice. This is very important because when the saints get caught up at the last trump of God (that is God's voice), it won't occur after an angel blows the seventh trumpet during the 7 year tribulation. Saved saints are getting caught up out of this world to be with Jesus before the 7 year tribulation and will not be on this earth during the 7 year tribulation. 

     Revelation 1:10 tells us that the trump of God is the Lord Jesus' voice that sounds like a trumpet. The scripture says I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as a trumpet. The next verse proves that the trump of God is the Lord Jesus' voice where Jesus says I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. Therefore the last trump of God is not a trumpet blown by an angel, but God's voice that saints will hear before they are raptured out of this world before the 7 year tribulation. 1 Corinthians 15:51 proclaims 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 (God's voice) shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. The last trump mentioned here is God's voice and not a trumpet blown by an angel during the 7 year tribulation. And how comforting to say the scripture promising the blessed hope rapture; 1 Thessalonians 4:16: For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel (Michael noted at Jude 9 is 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.



3) Round About God's Throne Is A Rainbow
Before God's Throne Is A Sea Of Glass

     Now I will describe God's glorious throne that saved saints will see forever in heaven. Revelation 4:2-3 says And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Notice that the rainbow around the throne in heaven is a full circle (round about the throne) like a green emerald. On earth we only see bows (half rainbows) that arch up and bend down like an archer's bow. After Noah's flood, God just called the rainbow a bow at Genesis 9:13 that says I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. But in heaven the rainbow is a full circle that goes round about the throne.

     The reason that the rainbow around the throne is green emerald is because the throne of God is in the midst (middle) of the kingdom of God (and green is the center color of the rainbow) stated at Revelation 7:17 that says For the Lamb which is in the midst (middle) of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 

     Next we see a sea of glass mentioned at Revelation 4:6 that says And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: Glass is made by applying fire to sand. All the multitudes of saved saints are like the sand and dust that will soon meet the Lord Jesus who is a consuming fire to create a beautiful sea of glass in heaven before the throne of God clear as crystal where all our sins are purified and washed clean like clear crystal by the blood of Jesus. Remember the consuming fire of God will not harm saved saints. God's fire will bless and purify saints to appear as clear crystal glass with no tarnish or defects. Isaiah 43:2 promises 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.  



4) Seven Lamps Of Fire With Jesus In The Midst 
Surrounded By Two Olive Trees (Moses and Elijah)
Are Closest To The Throne Of God

     Revelation 4:5 describes the throne of God saying And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Zechariah 4:2-3 also describes the seven lamps of fire burning before the throne saying And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and His seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. Then Zechariah 4:12 tells us that the two olive trees have two olive branches where two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves. Revelation 11:3-4 tells us that the two olive trees are Moses and Elijah saying And I will give power unto my two witnesses (Moses and Elijah), and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

     Therefore the closest to the throne of God will be seven candlestick lamps of fire with Jesus in the midst surrounded by the two olive trees Moses and Elijah. On the mount of transfiguration Jesus gave us a glimpse of the throne of God when he appeared in the midst of the seven lamps of fire surrounded by God's two olive trees (Moses and Elijah). Revelation 1:13 says And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man (Jesus), clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. Matthew 17:2 says And (Jesus) was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with Him. 



The Seven Spirits Of God In The Seven Lamps Of Fire
Burning Before The Throne Of God
Are Listed At Isaiah 11:2

     The seven spirits of God in the seven lamps of fire burning before the throne of God are listed at Isaiah 11:2. They are listed as follows: And the 1) spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of 2) wisdom and 3) understanding, the spirit of 4) counsel and 5) might, the spirit of 6) knowledge and of 7) the fear of the Lord. These are the seven characteristics and attributes of the Holy Spirit that has seven functions and operations. 



5) The Cherubim Four Beasts Are Round About
 The Throne Of God
A Lion Ox Man And Eagle
With Two Seraphim Above The Throne Of God

     Revelation 4:7 tells us round about the throne were (cherubim) four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 

     Ezekial 10 also describes these cherubim having four wheels. Ezekial 10:12 says And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. Then Ezekial 10:14 says And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Finally, Ezekial 1:10 tells us that the cherubim had the face of a lion and man on the right side and the face of an ox on the left side with the eagle's face appearing somewhere on the cherubim. 

     The cherubim four beasts represent God's creation and the four groups of animals. The lion is the king of the wild beasts. The ox (calf) is the king of the domesticated beasts. The eagle is the king of the flying birds. And the man is the king and ruler over all the beasts. Note that the devil was the fifth cherub and king over the reptiles and amphibians; But the devil that was called the anointed cherub that covereth at Ezekial 28:14 who tried to rise above the Lord Jesus, was according to Isaiah 14:15 brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isaiah 14:12 says How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning (not the morning star which the corrupt translated bibles say. Only Jesus is the bright morning star). how art thou cast down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations.



     The cherubim were around the tree of life (Jesus) also in the garden of Eden. When the saved saints get to heaven they will forever hear these blessed cherubim forever say over and over again Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And Revelation 4:9-11 tells us And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Saved saints will hear these blessed words from the four beasts and twenty four elders over and over again forever. Right now say the blessed words; memorize these blessed words and praise our Lord Jesus who sits on the throne of God.


     Finally Isaiah 6:1-3 says that there are two seraphim above the throne of God; In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory. All I can say is that God's throne is glorious; Words can not describe how blessed God's throne is; 1 Corinthians 2:9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. Right now get saved and be assured of living forever in peace before God's blessed throne; Repent, decide to stop sinning; confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes of people all over this earth 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.

Jesus And The Wild Mules

 


Connect Exodus 13:13 With Job 11:12
The Lamb Jesus Was Sacrificed And Redeemed The Wild Mules

     Let's connect Exodus 13:13 with Job 11:12 and learn why the Lamb Jesus was sacrificed and redeemed the wild mules. Exodus 13:13 tells us And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a Lamb. In other words, the wild mules were bought (redeemed) and set free from sin by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus who was sacrificed on the cross of Calvary. According to Job 11:12 the wild mules that were redeemed from sin are lost sinners that need salvation from our Lord Jesus. Job 11:12 says For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt (needing to be born again and saved by faith in our Lord Jesus).

     Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. All people are born sinful like wild mules needing salvation and redemption from the Lamb (our Lord Jesus). All men are born like a wild ass's colt with no hope in this lost world. But the good news is that with the Lord Jesus you can receive peace and salvation and overcome this troubled world. Jesus said at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace; In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Right now get saved and let the Lord Jesus set you free; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel in your heart that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.


Peggy The Stubborn Army Mule


Lost Sinners Are Like Wild Stubborn Horses Or Mules 
Needing Salvation From Jesus

     Lost sinners are like wild stubborn horses or mules needing salvation from our Lord Jesus. Without Jesus, a lost sinner is like a wild dangerous horse that is out of control. Personally, Brother Bob doesn't trust three animals (horses, snakes, and sharks).  Horses, snakes, and sharks are unpredictable, dangerous, and lack common sense. I stay clear and far away from these animals. Psalm 32:9 warns us about stubborn and wild horses saying Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Lost sinners without Jesus are like these wild stubborn horses and mules that need Jesus to calm and save them. 

     Read the following notes from Peter Ruckman how horses and mules are unpredictable like lost unsaved sinners. According to Psalm 32:9 instead of having horse sense, the wild horse hasn't got any sense, is stupid, dangerous, and is unpredictable. Horses charge into automatic weapon fire; Horses will not lie still long enough to heal a broken leg; A horse will kill his own master by accidentally kicking him. A horse doesn't have enough sense to whinney (neigh) on a cold freezing day. And if a horse gets scared by a butterfly or a rolling hat, he'll buck and throw any rider. Finally a runaway horse hitched to an abandoned wagon or stage coach doesn't even have enough sense to slow down.  

     Pictured above we see Peggy: A perfect example of a stubborn wild mule

     On a grave north of Rome Italy you can find a tombstone set up by the US Army in 1945 that says Here lies Peggy, an army mule who during her lifetime before she expired kicked one general, two colonels, three majors, five captains, seven lieutenants, thirty enlisted men, and one land mine. The land mine did Peggy in and resulted in death. And friends everywhere remember that without Jesus the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 tells us For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Don't be a wild sinful mule like Peggy destined for death; Get saved today with Jesus and receive peace and eternal life. 

A Story About A Stubborn Mule Named Henry

One day Fred couldn't push a stubborn mule named Henry
Joe told Fred don't push Henry; Use your willpower to make him move
Fred replied I got to push Henry because this mule got wont power.



Two Stories About A Wild Horse And A Jackass

1) They asked a cowboy lying on the ground What happened?
The cowboy said I was riding my horse and when we came to the crossroads
I wanted to go left and the horse wanted to go right
So the horse tossed me for it

2) A prophet who disobeyed God by eating with a false prophet
died while riding a jackass after meeting a lion
The moral of this story at 1 Kings 13:24 is
A jackass is safer in the presence of a lion than a backslid preacher 


Why Jesus Rode A Wild Mule Colt Tied By The Door
Without In A Place Where Two Ways Met

     Since the Lamb Jesus needs to save and redeem lost wild mule sinners, take a few minutes to read why Jesus rode a wild mule colt during His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. Mark 11:1-6 tells us And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He (Jesus) sendeth forth two of His disciples. And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied whereon never man sat; loose him and bring him. And if any man say unto you Why do ye this? Say that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. And they went their way and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met and they loose him. And certain of them that stood there said unto them What do ye loosing the colt? And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded and they let them go.

     Remember that the wild mule colt represents a lost sinner that needs salvation from Jesus. Notice that that the colt was tied whereon never man sat. Unsaved sinners like this colt are tied and bound by liquor, drugs, sex, money, and the devil. These lost sinners need to believe that the Lord Jesus can free them from their self righteousness by trusting Jesus to save their souls.


Only Jesus Can Loose And Set Free A Wild Stubborn Mule Sinner 

     Next Jesus told his disciples to loose the colt and bring him to me. Only the Lord Jesus can loose, save, and set free wild stubborn mule sinners. Pictured above notice that before anyone is saved, a lost sinner is like a wild mule tied to a post by a rope. When the lost sinner tries to walk away from their sinful past without Jesus, the rope pulls them right back into sin. 

     But after salvation, Jesus takes a pair of scissors, cuts the rope, and looses the sinner where the lost wild mule sinner no longer feels the pull of sin. The post that represents the flesh and our sinful past still exists but with Jesus the flesh post no longer has an irresistable pull. Now with Jesus after salvation, saved saints can resist the sinful temptations of this world by prayer, memorizing the Word of God, and by attending church where saints praise our Lord Jesus.

     Next notice that after the colt was loosed, Jesus said bring the colt to me. Remember only Jesus (not Buddha or Mohammed) can save a lost sinner. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. After salvation we joyfully sing We have heard the joyful sound, Jesus saves Jesus saves. No one sings We have heard the joyful sound Buddha saves Buddha saves or Mohammed saves Mohammed saves. Buddha or Mohammed couldn't save anyone. Hebrews 7:25 proclaims Wherefore He (Jesus) is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him (Jesus), seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.  




Why The Colt Was By The Door 
Without In A Place Where Two Ways Met

     Next notice where the disciples found the unsaved wild mule sinner. This unsaved sinner colt was by the door (that is Jesus) without in a place where two ways met. Remember lost sinner, the door Jesus is available now for you to be saved and set free from sin. Jesus said at John 10:9 I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. Either you go through the door Jesus and get saved by faith or you don't go through the door Jesus and go to hell. It's simple; Trust Jesus and go to heaven; Trust anything else and go to hell.

     How A Catholic Priest Tried To Recruit Sinners

     A Catholic priest tried to get a sinner to join the Catholic church. He told the sinner you need to join the Catholic church instead of the Baptist church because the Catholic church with saint Peter has the keys to the kingdom. You oughta join a church that's got the keys. The sinner replied Ah shucks boys, I don't need those keys, I got the door and joined a Baptist church. 

     Next we see that the colt was without in a place where two ways met. This shows us that unsaved colt sinners have to choose between two ways (a broad way or a narrow way). Matthew 7:13-14 says Enter ye in at the strait gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 

     The false broad way is boasting about your good works that cannot save you and leads to hell. The narrow way is to get saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross of Calvary.  A lady once told me Well we're all working our way to get to the same place. I replied and you're gonna get there if you ain't careful. You don't work your way to heaven; You by faith believe what Jesus did for you on the cross of Calvary to get to heaven. Then you do good works after salvation which will be rewarded by Jesus at the bema judgment seat immediately after the rapture. 

     Remember unsaved lost sinner colts have to choose between two ways. One way is Do Do Do and ends up in hell. The other way is Done Done Done by Jesus at the Cross of Calvary and ends up in heaven. One way is you try to do it and stay lost in hell; The other way is you let the Lord Jesus do it by faith and be saved forever in heaven. One way is you work and you work and you work and hope for the best while you remain lost going to hell; The other way is you just trust what Jesus Christ did for you at the cross of Calvary and end up in heaven. There are only two ways; Your way or God's way. Make the choice today. Trust Jesus by faith to save you instead of your own good works. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.  



Good Works Without Jesus Won't Save Anyone
All Our Righteousnesses Are As Filthy Rags

     Notice the following two scriptures that prove without Jesus, man's good works and self righteousness won't save anyone. Isaiah 64:6 says But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses (good works) are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away. And Psalm 39:5 tells us Behold thou hast made my days as an handbreadth, and mine age is as nothing before thee; verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity; Selah.

     In other words my good works can't get me to heaven; my ministry can't get me to heaven; My prayer life, my bible reading, and my church attendance can't get me to heaven. Nothing can save me but the blood of Jesus Christ. What can wash away my sins; Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Dr. Ruckman once told a lady Are you ungodly? The lady replied Oh my No No No  I'm not ungodly. Dr. Ruckman then said That's very unfortunate. The lady said Why is that? Dr. Ruckman told her Because Jesus died for the ungodly (not the godly). Romans 5:6 says For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 


A Story About Two Mules Named Buck And Jerry
Pulling An Old Wagon With Two Boys
The Old Wagon Represents Religion And Good Works
The Two Mules (Buck and Jerry) Represent Faith In Jesus

     Two boys were trying to get to town in an old wooden wagon with two mules named Buck and Jerry pulling the wagon. An old man laughed at the boys and said that old wagon's not gonna get you to town. The boys replied We ain't counting on this wagon to get us to town; We're counting on Buck and Jerry to get us to town. In other words, I'm not counting on religion or good works to get me home. I'm counting on Jesus Christ to get me home to heaven. 



Remember Jesus Said He Hath Need Of You Unsaved Wild Mule Sinner

     Notice that Jesus told his disciples that He has need of unsaved wild mule sinners. In other words Jesus is looking for lost sinners who will get saved and become available to preach and witness everywhere, saving souls for our Lord Jesus. In other words Jesus is saying it's not about a person's ability, but it's about a person's availablity to serve our Lord Jesus. Neal Maxwell said God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, He will increase our capablility.

     Just become available and willing to witness for Jesus; If you become a willing vessel that Jesus can work through, Jesus will give you many opportunities to witness and tell everyone how to get saved. Like Brother Bob write something on this internet that will encourage and save souls for our Lord Jesus. Jesus needs lost wild mule sinners to preach and witness everywhere. If Jesus can use Balaam's wild mule to rebuke Balaam and help Samson defeat the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass, Jesus can use lost sinners who are available and willing to work for Jesus. 

     Finally, notice that at Mark 11:7 it says And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him, and He (Jesus) sat upon him. Remember we need to let Jesus control and make decisions in our lives while he rides in the saddle being the Lord of our lives. Unfortunately some people got this backwards and don't allow Jesus to ride and control them, while they make their own selfish decisions. Remember Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplicaton with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. In other words don't react to problems by making decisions without asking Jesus by prayer. Instead tell Jesus everything before you make a decision and wait for the peace of God before you make life changing decisions. 

Remember The Resident (Jesus) Needs To Be The President
The Boarder (Jesus) Needs To Be The Boss

My Last Funny Story About A Wild Sinful Horse

     An old drunk had his horse hitched up by a saloon. Some thieves stole the horse and tied up one of their buddies to the hitching post where the horse was. When the drunk saw the man hitched up where his horse used to be, he said Who are you sir? The thief said I have been your faithful horse for these many years; I had a curse put on me for drinking and God turned me into a horse. I had to be a horse for two years and now my time is up and I'm free. Would you please let me go? The drunk said Sure I'll let you go and took the bridle off the thief and let him go. And two weeks later that drunk was at a horse auction and saw his old horse tied up to a post to be sold off. The drunk looked at that horse and said Uh huh sinning again Huh. 

     I have truly enjoyed writing this bible study today. I pray in Jesus name that it blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength. Remember only what we do for Jesus lasts. 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.

More Biblical Discoveries

 

1) Moses spoke about Egyptian chariot wheels
 discovered on the bottom of the Red Sea

     Our first biblical discovery occurred when divers in 1978 and 2000 discovered Egyptian chariot wheels on the bottom of the Red Sea. Moses told us at Exodus 14:24-25 that when the Egyptians pursued the children of Israel through the Red Sea, the Lord Jesus looked unto the host of the Egyptians and took off their chariot wheels (causing the chariot wheels to sink to the bottom of the Red Sea). 

     The bible is accurate and true because Egyptian chariot wheels covered by coral have been discovered at the bottom of the Red Sea. Click this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzb4ekyX1kc and watch a video showing divers discovering Egyptian chariot wheels at the bottom of the Red Sea. Get saved right now because the Word of God (Jesus) is the truth. 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. 

     Just for the record, the Ten Commandments movie was not accurate when the Pharaoh Yul Brynner did not enter into the Red Sea to pursue the children of Israel and survived. The bible says that the Pharaoh and all his host were drowned in the Red Sea and died. Psalm 136:13-15 says To Him (the Lord Jesus) which divided the Red Sea into parts: for His mercy endureth for ever: And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for His mercy endureth for ever: But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for His mercy endureth for ever. 

     Finally Exodus 14:24-25 is accurate about the Egyptian chariot wheels saying And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. And Exodus 14:28 tells us that Pharaoh and his entire host died in the Red Sea saying And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.



2) Job spoke about treasures of the snow and springs of the sea

     Our second biblical discovery occurred when Job spoke about treasures of the snow and springs of the sea. Job 38:22 says Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail? Today scientists have learned that Job was correct when he said that there were treasures in the snow and hail. Dr. Schutt said that there is $8.14 worth of nitrate, ammonia, and albuminoid chemicals in each acre of ground that has been covered by just one inch of snow. 

     Again we see that the bible is very reliable and is a better source for truth than science. 1 Timothy 6:20 tells us to avoid false scientific theories and trust the true Word of God saying O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust (the Word of God), avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. Scientists that have doubted God's Word for centuries eventually admit today that God's Word is accurate and correct.

     Then Job told us about springs in the depths of the sea where no man can ever walk. Job 38:16 says Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? Man always thought that the seas were filled by rain and rivers. But God told Job that the seas were filled by springs of water on the ocean floor coming up into the sea.

     In 1977 Jack Corliss and Robert Ballard, aboard the Alvin submarine near the Galapagos Islands, discovered deep sea hydrothermal vents, essentially springs of the sea, that release superheated, mineral rich water from beneath the ocean floor. Just recently three mineral rich hot springs were discovered near the middle of the Atlantic Ocean's floor by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And several hot springs were discovered on the Pacific Ocean's floor. But 4000 years ago, God told Job that there were springs of the sea. Man discovered what God knew thousands of years earlier about springs of the sea proving that the bible is accurate.

     The deep sea hydrothermal vents proved that seawater actually circulates through the Earth's crust. Cold ocean water seeps into cracks in the seafloor, gets heated by magma, and then springs back out. These deep sea hydrothermal vents strip magnesium from the water and add minerals like iron, zinc, and copper released out as mineral rich springs of water on the bottom of the sea. The bible is true because springs exist at the bottom of the sea. Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?

     God also spoke about springs of the sea (fountains of the great deep) at the following scriptures. Genesis 7:11 speaks about fountains of the great deep during the flood when Noah lived. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep  broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. When the flood was over, Genesis 8:2 says The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained. Proverbs 8:28 says When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep. 


Hast Thou Walked In The Search Of The Depth?
No Man Is Able To Walk In The Lowest Depths Of The Sea And Discover Sin

     Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard invented a submarine called the Trieste pictured above that is a unique deep sea research vessel known as a bathyscaphe (meaning deep boat). The Trieste could withstand 16000 pounds of pressure per square inch at the lowest ocean's depth.. On January 23, 1960, their bathyscaphe, the Trieste, touched the ocean floor at a record depth of 35,797 feet. Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the Challenger Deep that is the deepest known region of the world's oceans at the Mariana Trench located in the Western Pacific Ocean 200 miles southwest of Guam. This extreme depth is nearly 7 miles below sea level. To place this into perspective, if Mount Everest (at 29.031 feet) were placed at the bottom of the trench, its peak would be submerged under more than a mile of water.

     Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached the deepest known region of the world's oceans but could not walk on the ocean's floor. To date no human has ever walked on the bottom of the Mariana Trench. All exploration has been done from within thick walled pressurized vehicles or via remote controlled robots.  At those depths, the water pressure of over 16000 pounds per square inch makes it impossible for humans to walk on the ocean's floor.. This is why God placed our sins in the deepest depths of the sea where no man could find them and God would remember them no more. 

     God told Job at Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? In other words God has made it impossible for man to search for and walk in the deepest depths of the ocean. American oceanographer Don Walsh could not walk in search of the depths of the sea after his submarine touched down at 35,797 feet below sea level while exploring the Mariana Trench. Don Walsh found fish at that level living in temperatures of 38 degrees but could not get out of the submarine and walk around the ocean's floor. God's Word is true. Hast thou walked in search of the depth? I don't think so. 


     On March 26, 2012, James Cameron made history by completing the first solo dive to the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. Submerging in a custom built, 24 foot vertical submersible called the DeepSea Challenger pictured above, he reached a depth of 35,797 feet but also could not walk on the ocean's floor. After three hours of exploration, James Cameron identified 68 new species, including various microbes and supergiant amphipods (shrimp like crustaceans) that grew up to 7 inches long (much larger than their shallow water relatives). 

     I'm glad that God didn't place my sins on the backside of the moon. Man discovered the backside of the moon when some bird built a flying contraption and landed on the moon but man can't find my sins that Jesus placed in the lowest depths of the sea. This is why after salvation, God cast all our sins into the depths of the sea never to be remembered or found again by man. This is why Micah 7:18 says Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He (Jesus) will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. 

     Soon God will remove the sea with our sins that will be forgotten and removed forever. Revelation 21:1 says And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. No more sea with its storms, scares from sharks and squids, or sin that separates us from God.

      When you get saved with the Lord Jesus your sins are forgotten forever and placed in the lowest depths of the sea that can not be found. Your sins are not floating on the surface of the sea where they can be found by man or God. Corrie Ten Boom said that God buries our sins in the depths of the sea and then puts up a sign that reads, "No fishing." Our sins separate us from God. But when you get saved with the Lord Jesus, your sins will be forgotten forever and the blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all your sins that are placed in the undiscoverable lowest depths of the sea. 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. 

Get saved today and receive eternal life
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



3) Ezekiel spoke about the Eastern Gate 
that shall remain shut until Jesus returns to earth

     Our third biblical discovery occurred when Ezekiel said that the Eastern Gate around Solomon's temple shall remain shut until Jesus returns on the Mount of Olives and opens the Eastern Gate while entering Jerusalem to be the King of this earth for 1000 years. Ezekiel 44:2 says Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it (the Triumphal Entry of Jesus), therefore it shall be shut. It is for the prince; the prince (Jesus who is The Prince of Peace), He shall sit in it to eat bread before the Lord; He shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. 

     In other words no man will be able to open the Eastern Gate (which pictured above remains shut today) before Jesus returns to earth after the Great Tribulation and Jesus opens the Eastern Gate. Several Muslims have tried to blow up the Eastern gate and were killed by God. Anyone with plans to blow up the Eastern Gate before Jesus returns should fear God and leave the Eastern Gate alone. When God says something is going to remain shut, it's going to remain shut. I fear God's Word and wouldn't even try to touch the Eastern Gate. Only Jesus can open the Eastern Gate.

     The Eastern Gate has remained shut for a very long time. The gate was sealed some centuries ago by non Jewish workmen who were commissioned to rebuild the ancient city walls. The Muslims constructed a graveyard in front of the Eastern Gate to prevent Ezekiel's prophecy from ever being fulfilled. Apparently their belief was that the Lord Jesus would never walk across a graveyard to get to the Eastern Gate and therefore Ezekiel's prophecy about Jesus would never be fulfilled. 

     But when Jesus splits the Mount of Olives with his feet upon His earthly return, those Muslim graves will disappear while Jesus triumphantly enters through the Eastern Gate. The Lord Jesus who is The Prince of Peace will eat bread before the Lord in the Eastern Gate and become King of this earth for 1000 years. All the saved saints will follow Jesus on white horses through the Eastern Gate and rule and reign with Jesus in Jerusalem for 1000 years during the kingdom of heaven.

     Several attempts have been made to open the Eastern Gate to deny that the bible is true. Twice in the last century an attempt to open the sealed Eastern Gate has failed. I found the following in Grant Jeffrey's book "Heaven, The Last Frontier." The first attempt was on December 9th 1917, when the Grand Mufti, the Arab leader of Jerusalem, tried to open the Eastern Gate. He had ordered the other gates to Jerusalem sealed to deter the approaching allied Expeditionary Army led by the British General Edmund Allenby. This was back int he early 1900s when the British were dismantling the Ottoman Empire, that had ruled over the land of Israel for 400 years.

     But the Grand Mufti did need to have one gate remain open, so he ordered his workmen to open the sealed Eastern Gate. As the workmen picked up their sledgehammers, Allenby's airplane flew over Jerusalem, telling the Arabs to flee. Miraculously, without a shot being fired, the opposing soldiers fled from Jerusalem. Jerusalem was delivered into the hands of the British, who one month earlier had promised the Jews the right to reestablish sovereignty over their ancient homeland, via the famous Balfour Declaration. The workmen fearfully put down their sledgehammers and the Eastern Gate remained sealed fulfilling Ezekiel's prophecy.

     Then in 1967 the ancient prophecy was fulfilled again. But first, a little history. In 1948 the Jews declared sovereignty over a portion of their ancient homeland. In retaliation, King Hussein of Jordan, who had control over the ancient city of Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount, forbade the Jews from worshipping at their sacred Western Wall. This was the first time in centuries that the Jews did not have access to the Western Wall, that is a remnant of the wall around the second Temple, that was destroyed by the Roman general Titus in 70 A.D.

     King Hussein decided to build a hotel for Arab pilgrims on this section of the Western Wall, closing off this area to Jewish worship forever. The planned hotel was to be built over the Mughrabi Gate, that Muslims used to enter the Temple Mount. So the King needed to open another gate so that Muslims could get to the Al Aqsa Mosque, that was built by Muslims on the site of the Jewish Temple Mount. The Al Aqsa Mosque is the compound of Islamic religious buildings that sit atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem including the Dome of the Rock and the Mosque of Omar.

     In violation of Ezekiel's prophecy, King Hussein ordered his workmen to open the sealed Eastern Gate. But during this time, President Nasser of Egypt was also preparing to attack Israel, hoping to wipe out the Jewish state. And the Jews were about to preemptively respond to this planned attack. On June 5th of 1967, while the workmen prepared their sledgehammers to shatter the huge stones sealing the Eastern Gate, an intimidating array of Israeli aircraft flew overhead. The Six Day War had begun and the workmen put down their tools and fled.

     At the end of the Six Day War, the workmen were unable to resume their project because the Jews had managed to recapture their ancient capital of Jerusalem. This was because Jordan joined the war with Egypt against Israel, thereby allowing Israel to reclaim Jerusalem and preserve the sealed Eastern Gate. True to Ezekiel's prophecy, The Eastern Gate remains sealed today. The Eastern Gate will remain sealed until the day when our Lord Jesus enters into it to establish the kingdom of heaven for 1000 years during the millennium.



4) Job spoke about the earth's moon that shineth not 
and how light is parted into various colors

     Our fourth biblical discovery occurred when Job spoke about the earth's moon that shineth not and how light is parted into various colors. Job 25:5 says Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not. Job and the bible are correct because scientists have learned that the moon does not shine light (even though it appears to be shining). The moon reflects light from the sun. Therefore the song Shine On Harvest Moon is wrong.

     The moon appears to shine because its surface reflects light from the sun. Reflection of light occurs when light bounces off an object or surface. And despite the fact that it sometimes seems to shine very brightly, the moon reflects only between 3% and 12% of the sunlight that hits it. The perceived brightness of the moon from earth depends on where the moon is in its orbit around earth. 

     And isn't it amazing that Job knew that light could be parted before scientists discovered that a spectroscope could part light. Job 38:24 says By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? Now thousands of years later scientists have discovered that spectroscopes break down the light emitted or absorbed by elements into specific lines of color. A spectroscope is an instrument that separates light into its component colors or a spectrum. A spectrum is a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength.

     Also note that Job correctly told us that man could talk through a cellphone or computer at Job 38:35 that says Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are? Note that lightning is connected with electricity that allows us to hear voices over phone and computer lines. Thus, today we are able to say Here we are are on a cellphone or on a computer. No man could do what Job said God could do until Samuel Morse invented the telegraph in 1844. But Job knew that lightning could talk ages before Samuel Morse discovered the telegraph.  



5) Moses and David spoke about ways to improve your health
Bathe daily in running water and speak not with a stiff neck

     Our fifth biblical discovery occurred when Moses and David spoke about ways to improve your health. First Moses told us to bathe daily in a shower of running water and wash our clothes weekly in a laundromat to cleanse away any rashes or sores. Leviticus 15:13 says And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. Just recently doctors have discovered that after operations they should place their hands under running water that effectively removes all germs and diseases. 

     And David told us how to strengthen and preserve our voices when we preach or sing for Jesus. Psalm 75:5 says Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. In other words preach or sing from your diaphragm (located below your lungs), while your neck is relaxed and not stiff. This will save and preserve your voice to shout louder for our Lord Jesus.

     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.

Biblical Discoveries

 

1) Nahum And Isaiah spoke about cars

     Our first biblical discovery occurred when Nahum and Isaiah spoke about cars justling (rushing to and fro) along crowded streets and highways. Read the book of Nahum to receive comfort. The Hebrew definition for Nahum is comfort. Nahum 2:3 says The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots (Nissans, Toyotas, and Chevrolets) shall be with flaming torches in the day of His preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. 

     Nahum 2:4 says The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle (rush to and fro) one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. The KJV bible is the truth where Nahum during 657 B.C. spoke about interstate highways with cars and trucks justling to and fro. 

     Isaiah 9:5 also talks about cars saying For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. In other words Isaiah spoke that cars, tanks, military jets, and ships fueled by gasoline that involves the process of internal combustion of fossil fuels would be used during battles. Internal combustion is the process of burning fuel and air in an engine to create power. This teaches us that the bible is the most accurate book about scientific discoveries that needs to be daily respected and studied.


2) Job spoke about fingerprints

     Our second biblical discovery occurred when Job spoke about fingerprints. Job said that every person from the beginning of time (billions of people) have unique and different fingerprints. Today the FBI uses fingerprints to identify and track down criminals. Job spoke about fingerprints thousands of years before Francis Galton discovered in 1892 that no two fingerprints are exactly the same. Job 37:7 says He (the Lord Jesus) sealeth (affixes a unique mark and seal with a different fingerprint on every persons hand) up the hand of every man; that all men may know His work.

     It's amazing that no two fingerprints are exactly alike. According to Job this tells us to praise the Lord Jesus where every man may know His work. Only the Lord Jesus could create billions of fingerprints that are not identical. Only the Lord Jesus could create billions of snowflakes with the same shape (6 sides) where each snowflake is a different size. Only the Lord Jesus could create billions of pieces of sand that are all the same size. All the individual grains of sand are the same diameter. A diameter is the length of a straight line segment that passes through the center of a circular grain of sand from one side to the other. 

     Only the Lord Jesus could create billions of stars and know their names and exact number. Psalm 147:4 says He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. Only a fool would say there is no God and reject our Lord Jesus after reading about all of God's miracles in nature. Right now be wise 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. 

Two Stories About Fingerprints

A little boy said my daddy got put in jail for something he didn't do
He didn't wipe his fingerprints off the safe

A smart crook drove cops and sheriffs crazy for many years
He opened safes with his toes
But today we learn that no two toeprints are alike
Every individual's toe patterns are unique to them


3) Isaiah and Moses said you can use snow to make bread

     Our third biblical discovery occurred when Isaiah and Moses said that you can use snow to make bread. Isaiah 55:10 says For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater. And then Moses told us that the manna bread used to feed the children of God in the wilderness was like the hoar frost on the ground. Exodus 16:14 says And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing (manna bread), as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

     Today scientists have learned that snow can be used as a leavening agent to create bread where the snow leaves no taint of fermentation. Fermentation is the process of chemical change in food because of the action of yeast that produces bubbles or heat where sugars can change into alcohol. In other words if you mix snow, flour, butter, salt and water and bake them in an oven for an hour "Voila" you get bread. Several people have tried this blessed recipe that creates delicious bread.



4) Solomon spoke about evaporation, condensation, and aerology

     Our fourth biblical discovery occurred when Solomon spoke about evaporation, condensation, and aerology. Ecclesiastes 1:7 speaks about evaporation and condensation saying All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. In other words years before any scientific discoveries by man, Solomon described evaporation that is the process where liquid water becomes vapor (created from the sun's heat) and condensation that is the process where vapor becomes liquid water (rain). 

     And Solomon spoke about aerology (the science devoted to research about physical phenomena and processes occurring in the free atmosphere) at Ecclesiastes 1:6 saying The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to His circuits (circular movements that start and finish at the same place). Just recently aerologists have learned what Solomon spoke about thousands of years ago that wind has regular circuits and consistent established paths for traveling.  


5) King David spoke about waters above the heavens

     Our fifth biblical discovery occurred when King David spoke about waters that be above the heavens. Psalm 148:4 says Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. When we all get caught up to be with our Lord Jesus, we'll all pass through the waters that be above the heavens. Jesus promises us at Isaiah 43:2 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.

     Scientists discovered that waters exist above the heavens. Astronomers discovered the largest body of water ever detected in the universe. This heavenly body of water is 140 trillion times larger than all the water in the world's oceans. NASA proves that waters exist above the heavens because they send space (ships) with astro(nauts) into space trying to reach waters above the heavens. These astronauts are nautical sailors sailing in space ships trying to reach the waters above the heavens.

     It's a waste of time for NASA to try to rise up higher than God into space. When Nimrod tried to rise higher than God with the tower of Babel, God confused the people with many languages to prevent man from rising above God. NASA accomplished nothing when astronauts returned from the moon with only rocks. NASA accomplished nothing when scientists only obtained pictures from Mars. God won't allow man to live on the moon or Mars. God won't allow man to rise above Him. 

A Thumbprint On A Bible Is More Important Than A Footprint On The Moon 

     The Lord Jesus is wiser than all the scientists and tells the vast bodies of waters above the heavens to obey His commands. Isn't it amazing that little clouds hold large amounts of water, only allowing little drops of water to fall on the earth to avoid floods. Job 26:7 says He (the Lord Jesus) stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 

     The reason God does not allow the water to pour from the clouds and flood the earth is because God promised Noah by a rainbow to never again flood this earth. Genesis 9:14 says And it shall come to pass, when I (Jesus) bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow (rainbow) shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 

After reading about how Jesus created this universe
Here's a couple thoughts about how foolish evolution is

Poems Proving The Foolishness Of Evolution

First there was a tadpole with his tail long and slim
Then there was a bullfrog with his tail tucked in
Then there was a baboon swinging by his tail from a banyan tree
And then there was a doctor with a PHD

Evolution Is Wrong; Jesus Created Everything 
According to Colossians 1:16-17

For by Him 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 (Jesus), and for Him: And He is before all things,
And by Him all things consist.

The Cosmic Egg
A Funny Poem Proving That Evolution Is Nonsense
One Of The Best Poems Ever Written

Upon a rock yet uncreate amid a chaos inchoate
An uncreated being sate
Beneath him rock; Above him cloud
And the cloud was rock and the rock was cloud
The rock then growing soft and warm
The cloud began to take a form
A form chaotic vast and vague which issued in the cosmic egg

Then the being uncreate on the egg did incubate
And thus became the incubator 
And of the egg did allegate and thus became the alligator
And the incubator was potentate
But the alligator was potentator
