Giants in the Land

Giants in the Land

Genesis 4: 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

Genesis 4:15-17 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

¹⁶ And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the landof Nod, on the east of Eden.

¹⁷ And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Genesis 6:1-3 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

² That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

³ And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

When the human population began to grow rapidly on the earth, the sons of God, who are believed to be fallen angels saw the beautiful women of the human race; they took any women they wanted as their wives.

Then the Lord said, My spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh, in the future they will live no more than one hundred and twenty years.

This has been interpreted by some to mean that God was allowing the people of Noah’s day 120 years to change their sinful ways.

God shows His great patience with us as well, He is giving us time to quit living our way and begin living His way.

The way He shows in his word. While 120 years seems like a long time, eventually time runs out.

Genesis 6:4-5 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

⁵ And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

These giants were people, probably nine or ten feet tall, the same Hebrew term was used to name a tall race of people in Numbers 13:32-33 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

³³ And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Half fallen evil spirits, half Human.

Goliath who was over nine feet tall also has four brothers, that is why David picked up five smooth stones.

1^stSamuel 17:2-4 And Saul and the men of Israelwere gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

³ And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

⁴ And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

These giants used their physical advantage to oppress the people around them. They were very aggressive.

In those days and even afterwards giants lived on the earth for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with human women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes mentioned in legends of old.

The Lord saw the extent of the peoples wickedness and he saw that all their thoughts were totally evil.

Genesis 6:6-8 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

⁷ And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

⁸ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

God was not admitting he made man and it was a mistake.

Instead he was expressing sorrow for what the people had done to themselves. God was sorry that the people chose sin and death instead of a relationship with him.

The people’s sin grieved God, like our sins break Gods heart, as much as sin did in Noah’s day.

Noah pleased God even though he was far from perfect.

Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah lived after the flood 350 years, and all the days of Noah were 950 years.

Through Noah’s grand sons we get Abram who God gave the name Abraham.

Abraham had a son named Isaac, Isaac and Rebekah had a son called Jacob, and through generations came Moses.

Exodus 1:15-22 And the king of Egyptspake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

¹⁶ And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

¹⁷ But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

¹⁸ And the king of Egyptcalled for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

¹⁹ And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

²⁰ Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

²¹ And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

²² And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Exodus 2:1-10 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.

² And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

³ And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.

⁴ And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

⁵ And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

⁶ And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

⁷ Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

⁸ And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

⁹ And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.

¹⁰ And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

So Moses grew up and killed an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew brethren.

When Pharoah heard this he was going to have Moses killed, but Moses fled, and lived in the land of Midian.

Exodus 3:2-8 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

³ And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

⁴ And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

⁵ And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

⁶ Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

⁷ And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

⁸ And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Pharaoh finally let the Israelpeople leave after God causes plagues to come on them. After they left he changed his mind and takes his whole army to stop them.

Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the lord opened the water to dry land. Pharaoh’s army followed them and God drowned them.

They went on their way to complete their trip to the promise land. God reminded them when they reach the promise land to don’t defile their selves as the Canaanites are doing.

As they traveled into the desert of Zin there was no water for the congregation and the Lord spoke to Moses saying take the rod and gather the assembly.

Numbers 20: 8-12 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 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.

Numbers 14: 30-33 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

³¹ But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

³² But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

³³ And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

Deuteronomy 31:14 And the Lordsaid unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

Deuteronomy 34:4-12 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

⁵ So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.

⁶ And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.

⁷ And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

⁸ And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moabthirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

⁹ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.

¹⁰ And there arose not a prophet since in Israellike unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

¹¹ In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

¹² And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

JOHN 5:1-5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

⁴ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

The Coming Economic Armageddon

The Coming Economic Armageddon

Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and the adults pay for it… our deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it.

The next generation is paying for this generation’s debt. How long before the system collapses under its own ever increasing weight?

With the national debt now topping 17 trillion, the government estimates that the tab for servicing the future debt will exceed 700 billion dollars a year to 2002 billion a year.

This is just one of the challenges facing the U.S. after decades of living beyond its means. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

America’s debt will never be paid; they will simply roll it over and over again and again until Americas creditors are unwilling to loan any longer.

This money has been borrowed by issuing IOU’s until our debt is repaid. We likely will only pay interest, and never repay the actual loan.

The current unfunded liability for Medicare part A and Part B totals 89.3 trillion dollars with A.T. five times as much as the unfunded social security bill.

This Social Security at 89.3 added to the 106.8 trillion dollars national debt added to the national debt of 125.8 trillion dollars makes it a debt load of $383,000 per person.

This debt can not be aid off in one generation, so it will be passed on to the next generation and so on…

Here we are the so called wealthiest nation in the world and we are head over heels in debt.

Duet 15:6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

Duet 28:12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

The borrower is the servant to the lender.

Today in America we are living in a fool’s paradise, believing we can somehow slap ink on paper and it will turn to gold.

We are getting deeper in debt every day and that is only the beginning of what’s ahead.

The money manipulators have successfully crated the illusion of prosperity through the most massive creation of debt and paper money that has ever occurred in history.

If you insert more printed dollars into the economy the value of the dollar decreases.

This will cause massive inflation ahead as prices on products rise.

What will happen when the government’s giant ponzi scheme catches up with itself?

If the government were to default on its promise to repay the debt, the United States economy would plunge into a level of chaos that would make the Lehman bankruptcy look like a non-event.

There is simply not enough money to buy our way out of debt.

If these assumptions are accurate, our nation is headed toward bankruptcy.

If the United States were to go bankrupt, it would morally default on everything it owes by simply saying, we no longer acknowledge our debts.

The government would reset the value of our currency by declaring the worth of a dollar with no real value to back it up.

There is nothing normal about an economy in which the federal government takes over giant automakers, bails out too big to fail banks, keeps interest rates at zero percent and prints over a trillion new dollars.

The bible predicted the future that is our present reality,

James 5:1-6 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

² Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

³ Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

⁵ Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

⁶ Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that these sign of corrupted wealth are rampant in modern America.

There is no doubt about it. We are living in the end times.

So how do we prepare ourselves for the coming collapse of the American economy?

If you are living a life of a Christian you need not be anxious about the future.

Just keep on doing what you’re doing. Trusting God’s promise to hold you secure in His hands.

We are now dealing with the fact of an upcoming new world order.

Much of the current talk about a new world order is in recognition of the fact that when the U.S. economy fails, it will pull the worlds economy down with it.

With Americas economies now teetering on the brink people are looking for a new system that will end the concentration of wealth and power in one nation and spread that wealth and power around the globe. That way one sinking nation will no longer carry inordinate weight that pulls the others under.

The bottom line is that the new world order is all about the consolidation of power in the coming together of nations.

This concentration of power will enable the antichrist to rule the world during the latter part of the tribulation.

This new world order will demand a new global economy. At this point the future of our world does not look good.

But Jesus returns to set the earth right with a true new world order of peace and prosperity.

Trends concerning the U.S. dollar are shifting the world’s center away from the United States. The dollar is loosing its power as the reserve currency of the world.

In other words the American empire of debt is coming to an end.

In order to provide the currency backbone of the world, the United States needed to run deficits (supplying U.S. dollars to the rest of the world.)

But this can be done only so long before mounting international debts would overwhelm the U.S. aid.

In part this is what has happened. The nations of the world are well aware of Americas growing financial instability.

Many nations like Russia, China, Brazil, and Taiwan have been quietly adding to their stores of God as a defensive play against the U.S. dollars weakness. And they are likely to continue to increase their storehouses.

China and India continue to fight for domination in massing supplies of Gold.

The fear that the value of their U.S. dollars is going to drop this is causing them to hold on to something of value to offset the dollars decline.

As a matter of fact, a lot of Americans are starting to buy gold because gold will increase as the dollar starts to decrease.

At this time Chins has 10,000 tons of Gold, Russia has 8000.7 tons and America has 8000 tons. This amount of gold will only last America 42 months, 3 ½ years.

A new global economic government designed to monitor potential risks to the stability of the global economy is developing right before our eyes.

The leader of the one world government of the tribulation will need such organizations in order to control the economic lives of nations and their people.

In the middle of the tribulation period the false prophet will demand every citizen of the world to take a special mark on his or her forehead or hand.

Rev. 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

without this mark a person will not be allowed to buy or to sell or do business.

The World Bank, the IMF, and the FSB may very well be at the center of this global regime helping its demonic leaders carry out their plan.

The united states of Europe is now considered by many to be the most powerful political and economic force in the world.

One of the reasons it is possible for the U.S. currency to devalue so much is that if china and all of Europe goes to the Gold standard Americans won’t be able to buy anything from around the world. Other countries will not accept U.S. currency.

Our money plainly states in God we trust.

That is a very good indication that this printed dollar we hold is nothing but a coupon that is close to worthless.

God puts it this way; if you’re going to trust the dollar, don’t look for me to bail you out.

You can not serve two masters at the same time.

Matt. 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Take a little advice; the love of the dollar is not worth the effort. Trust God.

Don’t seek ways to get the money in, seek ways to get the word out. Then the money will come in.

Millennium

Millennium

 

There will be three classes of people who reign with Christ during the millennium which is also called the thousand year reign

One will be the saints that have been raptured at the last day of the period of grace…

^{Revelation 19:14       14} And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Group two will be made up of resurrected Old Testament saints, as well as Enoch: Also the armies which were in heaven.

Daniel 12: 1-2     12 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: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

² 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.

Group three will be the host of resurrected saints of the tribulation hour.

Revelation 20:4     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.

These are the ones that were beheaded as witnesses of Jesus and the ones who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image.

The sixth seal releases a cataclysmic event, a great earthquake. This is reserved for the last day of the tribulation when Jesus returns to set up his kingdom on earth.

Revelation 6:12-14   ¹² And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

¹³ And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

¹⁴ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

No man can escape Jesus, the final day and the battle of Armageddon.

Revelation 6: 15-17   ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

¹⁶ And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

¹⁷ For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand

The word of God makes it clear that the event to usher in the millennium will be when the Lords feet touch down on the Mount of Olives.

Zechariah 14: 3-4   ³ Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

⁴ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

Jesus’ promise to his church is fulfilled, the rapture has com and gone, and the tribulation upon earth has accomplished its goal.

At the return of Christ, there will be an earthquake with such force that it will break the mountains in two halves, violence will increase.

Revelation 16:18    ¹⁸ And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

The last battles at the end of the seven year tribulation period are three different battles.

First Russia and her allies will come against Israel, China and its army of two hundred million, then the final battle with Christ.

Now in the Millennium of a thousand years you need to understand that righteous living will occur during this time period but it is not a time of perfection.

Because those who entered the Kingdom after the judgment of the nations in Matthew 25 will still be housed in normal bodies with old natural ways which their children will inherit.

It is important to remember that when we are raptured, our bodies will be like Jesus’ body.

But those who remain and come later will still have their natural bodies with which they will still be able to procreate and have children.

Because of this situation, Christ must rule with a rod of iron to keep people in line. Even though there’s no devil to tempt them.

Millions will go into His kingdom as righteous people but bear children who turn away from the Lord.

These people are on earth, but we will be in the Holy City hovering above the earth.

The good news concerning the Earth dwellers is that sin is limited, making it possible for people to live long lives during the millennium

Isaiah 65:20   ²⁰ There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

We that live in the Holy City have glorified bodies and don’t sin, we live eternally in the city at the beginning of the millennium reign.

As well as during Christ’s eternal kingdom reign upon the earth after the millennium.

At this time after the thousand year reign, all the people will have received glorified bodies.

Matthew 6:10   ¹⁰ Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

What some do not realize is that the Jews are preparing to build a third temple in Jerusalem for worship.

This temple becomes the temple where the Anti-christ sits. This can not be the fourth temple of Ezekiel 40:48 that Jesus occupies.

Ezekiel 40:48   ⁴⁸ And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side

The sacrifices are still in the last three and a half years in the third temple. Reason for that is the same reason that Christians remember Christ’s sacrifice today.

It is called communion and we read of its significance in 1^st Corinthians.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26    ²³ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

²⁴ And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵ After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

  The Jews will be saying we now bring our loving remembrance to you because of what you did for us on the cross to provide for our remission of sins.

Now the New Jerusalem which is the Holy City is so bright that its glow will light the world both day and night.

It’s where we will live in new spiritual bodies that allow us to walk through walls, disappear and reappear at will, travel at the speed of our own desires, just as Jesus did in his resurrection body.

Luke 24;36   ³⁶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

³⁷ But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³⁹ Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

1 CORINTHIAN 15:3-8   ³ For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

⁴ And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

⁵ And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

⁶ After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

⁷ After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

⁸ And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

Like Jesus housed in spirit bodies we will be able to see, touch, partake of food, and co-mingle with the humans on earth.

Luke 24:39-42   ³⁹ Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

Same as Luke 24:36-41

We will be able to move across the universe at the speed of thought.

Even more exciting we will love in that new Holy City that hovers over the globe in the millennium

Another key ingredient that will contribute to the millennium’s new way of doing business will be the elimination of the curse of Adams sin.

In Genesis chapter three God cursed the earth because of Adams iniquity. When Christ returns the terrible curse will be lifted.

Isaiah 30:23   ²³ Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

What a day this will be.

When we speak of Jerusalem in the study of bible prophecy, we need to remember that we are referring to two Jerusalems.

There is the city that exists in the holy land of Israel, and the New Jerusalem that hovers over the earth. Same name two entities.

So we observe two Jerusalems. The heavenly Jerusalem for those with new translated bodies, that are unable to sin, and the earthly Jerusalem, where the inhabitants still have fleshly bodies.

It is seventy trillion billion miles from earth to heaven and we can reach it in a twinkling of the eye. That’s eleven one hundredths of a second. How’s that for bolt of lightening thought.

Revelation 21:1-3   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.

² And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Hebrews 12:22-23   ²² But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

²³ To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

New Jerusalem, new name, new people, new life.

In the New Jerusalem, there will be a service to God as never before.

Revelation 22:3  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

The throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. We are those servants.

All sin is wiped away in Heaven and there is nothing left that is a reminder of sin. This is Gods provision of a happy home for the saints of all ages.

WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

2 Corinthians 5:7 ⁷(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

When we walk by what we see, we walk in the natural realm of using our natural senses.

In other words, using the natural human ways and being mislead by what is right and what is wrong.

Most people now days, if their not believers of Christ, appear to walk by, if everyone is doing it, it must be ok.

Not so, just because people do foolish things, it doesn’t mean it is ok for us to repeat them.

When God created you, he created you for a purpose, His purpose for you; you will never accomplish that purpose as long as you walk in your natural way of thinking.

To be as God wants us to be, blessed and prosperous. We must first seek God and his righteousness

You do that by first renewing your mind by the Word of God and his righteousness. Then you must learn to live by faith not by what you see, feel or hear as the world does.

Once you have made Jesus the Lord of your life by accepting what he accomplished at the cross, the Holy Spirit will come and live in you and guide your daily walk.

That is called walking in the spirit. God is seeing to the safety of each of your steps.

You are to walk as if Jesus is walking by your side day and night. By the way, he is doing just that.

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye

have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

God will never leave us nor forsake us; God will never abandon us or leave us helpless.

God is all love and loves us so much that while we were still sinners He sent Jesus to redeem us, or save us, so we can spend eternity with Him.

Psalms 94:14 says, for the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

Once you accept his son Jesus Christ, you have been made a new spirit, The Holy Spirit seals that spirit in you and you have been made an heir to the family of God.

This is part of walking by faith and not by sight.

Hebrews 11:6 ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

You must first believe God is, and then believe God can and Believe God will.

It is easy to believe God is; it’s easy to believe God can, but it is hard for people to believe that God will.

People have the habit of feeling unworthy. Its not about you, it’s about the Holy Spirit within you. That makes you worthy.

So if it is impossible to please God without faith, we are not pleasing God when we refuse to believe him at His word. That He is, He can, and He will do what his word says he will do.

Isaiah 55:11 ¹¹ So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Everywhere God sends his word, things manifest. Just as His word says it will.

Gods word is speaking to you and through you right now, it is saying “you can do all things through Christ Jesus” who gives you the strength to accomplish everything. Jesus made it available to you at the finished work at the cross.

Trust God, have faith in God, He is, He can, and He already has done everything you meet your needs and more.
