*** Recently there was a scripture I didn't understand and I told this to God and instantly by HIS Holy Spirit He explained it to me.

 

 

Why did God become so angry with Moses when he struck the rock twice instead of once at the following scripture?

Numbers 20

1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

7 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye 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.

9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as HE commanded him.

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he (Moses) said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 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.

12 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.

*** We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ in heaven.

2 Corinthians 5 (the apostle Paul says)

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of HIM.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

*** Living lives without spot and blameless.

 

When I was born again in 1975, and began reading the Bible, I would see scripture and God would have me stop reading the Bible and go and ask someone I had offended to forgive me for what I did him or her.

We are forgiven by God after HE cleanses us, yet it was important for me to do this.

And if I had accidentally wronged another person, I had to restore that wrong I had done.  One by one I was sent to confess my wrong doing and make restitution.

When I read "without spot and blameless" I think of the early time when God had me do this.

💥💥💥

The apostle Peter says to us:

2 Peter 3

10 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.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 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?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

*** Do we see Jerusalem surrounded by armies? This is important.

 

 

Jesus says:  

Luke 21

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

We saw these maps this week on CNN showing Jerusalem compassed with armies.

Most countries in the large green circle are enemies of Israel.  

Israel is the small green circle according to CNN.

Enemies of Israel include:  (according to Wikipedia:  Foreign relations of Israel)

💥 *** Last Tuesday night I thought I might be dying.

Comments by Joan Boney:

I'm almost 86 years old.

Last Tuesday night (October 3, 2023), I thought I might be dying.  I couldn't go to sleep.  I had a very sharp pain on right jaw and ear ache.  I had physical pain all over, legs, feet, arms, skull.  I didn't get to sleep until after 5 am.  Then one of the cats woke me at 6 am.  Back to sleep until 7 am.  I was asking God what happened.  When I awoke at a little after 7 am, after about an hour of sleep, I asked God what happened.

What God said to me ... and resulting decisions.

💥 *** Taking "free food" from the government.

 

 

 

The apostle Paul said:

2 Thessalonians 3

7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

Psalm 34

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and HIS ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

There had been a war and Abraham's side had won.

The King of Sodom said to Abraham:  

Genesis 14

21 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.

22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,

23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

When I saw this, I said to God, "This is the way I want to live.  I want my "wealth" to come from you not from this world."

We are all going to answer to God for the way we live in this world.

Repent, if need be.  

Do that which is right in the sight of God.

Comments by Joan Boney:  (This podcast was recorded 10-7-23 before I learned Israel had been attacked by Hamas.)

💥 *** Paul warns us about following after money.

 

I Timothy 6

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Pam Padgett took an early retirement from Fed Ex when she saw the following scripture and knew it applied to the job she held as a programmer.

Micah 2:10  Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

There often comes a time when management changes in a department and corruption results and you find it better to go than to continue where decisions are polluted.

The apostle Peter warns us to live in peace, without spot and blameless.  (2 Peter 3:14)

💥 *** A minister in the New Testament Church has the right to marry if he chooses to do so.

Peter married and had children.  Paul did not marry.

The Bible shows us this.

Jesus visited Peter's house and healed his mother-in-law.

Matthew 8

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

💥💥💥

We also know Peter had multiple children because Peter said he was an "elder" of the church and one requirements in the Bible for an elder/bishop was that they have their children under control, else if they cannot control their own house how can they control the church?

I Peter 5:1  (Peter says)  The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

Requirement for elder/bishop:

Titus 1  (elder/bishop are the same office)

4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

💥💥💥

The apostle Paul says:

I Corinthians 9:5  Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

Paul chose not to marry for the sake of the gospel.

I Corinthians 7  (Paul says)

6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

38 So then he that giveth in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth not in marriage doeth better.

💥 *** Eunuchs, Jesus explains.

Matthew 19

1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; 2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And HE (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that HE which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10 HIS disciples say unto HIM, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 But HE said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake.  He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Case of the Holy Spirit sending the evangelist Philip to preach the gospel to the eunuch who was to be saved by God.

Acts 8

26 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.

27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

A eunuch is not the same as homosexual:  A homosexual/lesbian can be saved if such repents, and sees what he is doing is sin in the sight of God, and does homosexual acts no more.

Romans 1

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

💥 *** The KJV of the Bible is a wonderful work, but in at least one passage of scripture the translators added a word and it completely changed the meaning of that teaching.

 

Comments by Joan Boney:

God showed me to use the King James Version of the Bible for the work I do in handling scriptures.

The translators presented a very pure translation of God's intent.

When they did add their own thinking to the scriptures they put that word in italics so we would know it was their own added word.

Here is one example:

I Corinthians 7

25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

In verse 38, the word "her" is twice placed in italics showing us that the translator added the world "her".

That verse 38 should read this way:

38 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

Paul is thinking of the interruption that comes to the married and how they split their focus between pleasing their mate whom they married and keeping their focus on the Lord.

Yet Paul certainly had permission to write this.  For we read in the scriptures, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God."  (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Ministers are free to marry except if they divorce a faithful wife, they commit adultery if they remarry.  And certainly they are not free to marry a divorced woman.

Peter was married and had multiple children.  We know Peter was married with children because scriptures tell us that Peter was an elder and one requirement of being an elder/bishop is that he must be married and have children who are under his authority, else how could an man rule the church if he does not know how to rule his own house. 

Peter was an elder/bishop in the church and to be an elder he had to be married and have multiple children.  

Titus 1  If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

Further evidence of Peter being married is this scripture:  And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, HE saw his (Peter's) wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.  15 And HE touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.  (Mt. 8)

(Ministers in the New Testament church are free to marry if they choose to do so.)

💥💥💥

Paul made it very clear in writing that some scriptures he wrote were "the commandment of the Lord" for the New Testament, while other scriptures were spoken by "permission" of God.

I Corinthians 7

(Verses 10-11 are "commandments" of the Lord)

10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, 

Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

This tells the unbeliever to dwell with the believer and if he/she is "pleased" to dwell with the believer, let not the believer leave the unbeliever.  The believer dwells as a believer in what is a godly life.  If the unbeliever is pleased to dwell with the husband/wife who is a believer then this is approved.  If the unbeliever fights against the believer and tries to turn the believer from God or scripture then that unbeliever show he/she is not pleased to dwell in peace with the believer.  Let the unbeliever depart in such cases.

Jesus taught us the following:  The man who has an unfaithful wife is free to divorce that unfaithful wife.  The faithful wife is not free to divorce and remarry.  If she does, she will be considered to be an adulterer.

Matthew 5:32  But I (Jesus) say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

The only scriptural reason for a man to divorce his wife is fornication.

💥 *** Dividing the land before them.

Numbers 32:1  Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

So they asked Moses to give them that land as their inheritance.

They said they would go with the other tribes of Israel and fight with them to help them possess their inheritance on the other side of Jordan.  This was agreeable with all.

4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

5 Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

16 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war, 21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until HE hath driven out HIS enemies from before HIM, 22 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

The tribes of Ruben and Gad said:

26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: 27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

 

This plan was fair and right.

We help the New Testament church today as we exhort them and build them in the word of God.  They move into their place on this earth, every location is given them by God and God sets the exact times they will live in that place.

Acts 17:26  And (God) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed (God chooses the times they will live there), and the bounds of their habitation (God chooses the exact places they will live);

In Bible we are instructed:

Hebrews 10

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;)

24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

(We share scriptures and things God has helped us with in our lives.  We encourage one another by sharing with those who are born of the spirit of God wherever we find them.)

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together (we assemble with other believers all over the world as we send emails with "exhortations" to build the church everywhere), as the manner of some is; but exhorting (giving advice and warnings to) one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day (of the coming of Jesus) approaching.

We help each other to have strength and courage in God, knowing that God will never fail us nor forsake us and we share the victories given to us when God gives us a word of exhortation as we deal with our own problems.

Philemon v. 5  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

So we help each other by each communication where we tell the encouragement given to us by the Holy Spirit of God.  We share that which God has shown us.  The important thing for faith is what God has said and done in these days for each of us.

Revelation 3:5  Jesus says:  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

💥*** God has given the land to the tribes of Israel, but they have to overcome in that land and take possession of their land.

A brief history on the other side of Jordan:  

💥  John 1-2  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2 The same was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made by HIM (the Word); and without HIM (the Word) was not any thing made that was made. 4 In HIM (the Word) was life; and the life was the light of men.

There they were together:  God and The Word

God spoke ... and by the Word "it" was created instantly.

(They didn't have to go out and gather materials to create.  There were no materials.  The materials were there the second the object was created.  The Word caused both the materials and the object to appear from nothing.)

Hebrews 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Everything that was created was created by the Word spoken by God.  The Word was with God from the beginning and when God spoke, that thing spoken was done!

When God spoke that which was created appeared by the Word spoken.  

So God said:  Genesis 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

God and the Word were there together and when God spoke, The Word caused it to happen.

"The Word" who was with God was later sent to earth in the human form as a man and was called "Jesus".  At first God and The Word were spirits.  Today they are together in heaven again and are spirits.

💥💥💥

💥  God and The Word created the heaven and earth ... God and The Word created all plants and all animals ... God and The Word created the man and then the woman in the image of God and set the man and woman to rule on the earth ... and God creates all they will need to sustain life in their environment. 

"And God saw that it was good."  (Gen. 1:10)

Genesis 1:25  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

💥💥💥

The commandment of God and the disobedience of the human to God's Word:

Genesis 1

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in HIS own image, in the image of God created HE him; male and female created HE them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31  And God saw every thing that HE had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

The human had all he needed to sustain life.

God created a perfect environment for the human.

Genesis 2:1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

God has created everything needed by man to sustain life and it is perfect.

Genesis 2

8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there HE put the man whom HE had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden;

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

This is the commandment God gave to the man and he told his wife.  Then she listened to Satan's reasoning and her own desire to be wise in her own eyes, not needing God's wisdom, was her major downfall and became the downfall for all creation.  She ate of the forbidden fruit and gave it to her husband to eat and God put penalties on all humans as a result and also on Satan.

💥💥💥

Disobedience to God's word:

Genesis 3

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

(Notice how twisted the devil speaks.)

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. (Eve added to God's word. When you do this you cannot stand because inwardly you know only part of what you say is true.  Therefore you cannot stand.)

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

God's creation was very good.  Perfect.  The sun, the moon the stars stayed in the place God put them but the humans and Satan fell through disobedience.  They wanted to be their own God. They even want to be above God.  This resulted in the need for a better covenant.  Jesus Christ came to die and HIS blood paid for our sins.  They had the Old Covenant but they couldn't obey it either.  God set in place a new covenant where HE would put a new heart in us and a new Spirit, HIS own heart and Spirit so we then could obey HIM.

So by the transgression of one, sin came upon all men from Adam and Eve on to the end of the world.  Obedience also comes by one, Jesus Christ.  Through Jesus, The Word, God made a way for humans to be saved.

Ezekiel 36  (God says)

23 And I will sanctify MY great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned (made to be secular) in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be MY people, and I will be your God.

Hebrews 8  (The New Covenant through Jesus)

6 But now hath HE (Jesus) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also HE is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

8 For finding fault with them, HE saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

(Through the promise to Abraham, God also gave salvation through Jesus to the Gentiles, to all other nations: Genesis 12  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Jews and Gentiles)  4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; )

Hebrews 8

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in MY covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put MY laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to ME a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know ME, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

As long as we live on this earth we are created over and over in the image of Christ, by that Word which God speaks to us by HIS Spirit.

God's chosen people were first Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (His children, the 12 tribes of Israel), Joseph ... then 400 years in Egypt ... then deliverance from Egypt with Moses leading.  Then God gave the tribes of Israel their own lands after HE brought them out of Egypt.  Jesus came to earth and shed HIS own blood for our sins.  Jesus sits as the right hand of God in heaven and calls HIS own people and sets HIS own ministers in the Church of the New Covenant.  And from one generation to another we go to God through Jesus all over this world ... then comes the end of this world and the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteous.  The believers in Jesus will be taken there and live there with God and with Jesus for all eternity.

But everything has to do with the Word.

Jesus says:

John 14

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in ME.

2 In MY Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME.

💥 *** God promises the land to Abraham. Destruction of the Amorites when their cup of iniquity is full.

God's promise to Abraham:

Genesis 12

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.  (both Jews and Gentiles)

4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him;

Genesis 15

13 And HE (God) said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

(When the iniquity of the Amorites was full, God destroyed the Amorites.)

💥💥💥

Numbers 21  (The Amorites give God occasion to destroy them.)

21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.

23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.

25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.

26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.

27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared: 28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.  29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.

31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.

God's judgment will come upon the wicked in God's time.

2 Peter 3

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 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.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 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?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

When the cup of iniquity is full, judgment from God comes.

Psalm 75:8  For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and HE poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

Genesis 44:16  And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

Jeremiah 5:27  As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

I Corinthians 10:21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Jeremiah 30:11  For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

Matthew 23  (Jesus says)

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.  

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Psalm 1:5-6  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Revelation 17:4  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:  

Revelation 18:6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Revelation 14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of HIS indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Revelation 16:19   And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS wrath.

In time, judgment comes, when their cup of indignation is to the full.
