Part 1. OUR FUTURE FORETOLD
A Better, More Loving World!!!
Unify people through the power of cooperative action.
Socially transmute society into a social cooperative.
Economic, Spiritual, Environmental and Natural Sustainability.
The creation, expansion and support of existing Co-ops such as growers co-ops, consumer cooperatives, medical cooperatives capable of economically and holistically sustaining individuals.
A new Alchemy of Spirit one which ends the great divide between the unseen religious and viewable scientific worlds.
Part 2. HOPE
Meditating on the Scriptures with the guidance of the Holy Spirit we can begin to comprehend and understand God's love for all of us and also the entire world. God reveals to his children His plans and future for humanity and the planet.
Forth Coming!
Coming forth!
The Holy Bible!
The greatest book ever written.
Billions of people would agree with that statement.
Originating over 4000 years ago. Sixty-six small books compiled together.
Written by dozens of individuals. But the words are truly inspired and anointed by the Holy Spirit of God.
Almighty God. A personal God. The true God. The God of Truth.
The Bible is divided into two sections.
The Old Testament and the New Testament.
Old Testament about Jehovah,
a personal God for the people of Israel.
New Testament about Jesus,
the Son of God, for the entire world.
We are talking about personal and physical
manifestations of deities. Manifestations in the flesh.
We will be reading throughout the Bible
and see what God really says about Foretelling Our Future.
Part 3. OUR FUTURE
God has plans for us to have Hope and a Good Future.
Faith and Assurance
(Genesis 1:1-2; John 1:1-5)
Hebrews 11:
1 Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
2 This is why the ancients were commended.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen
was not made out of what was visible.
And we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose.
Jeremiah 24:6
For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land:
and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Acts 14:
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes,
and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things?
We also are men of like passions with you,
and preach unto you that ye should turn
from these vanities unto the living God,
which made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and all things that are therein: 16 Who in times past suffered all
nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not
himself without witness,
in that he did good,
and gave us rain from heaven,
and fruitful seasons, filling our
hearts with food and gladness.
Proverbs 21:5
The thoughts of the diligent
tend only to plenteousness;
but of every one that is hasty only to want.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given
unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together,
and running over, shall men give
into your bosom. For with the same measure
that ye mete withal it shall
be measured to you again.
Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things,
how that so labouring
ye ought to support the weak,
and to remember the words
of the Lord Jesus, how he said,
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said unto them,
Go your way, eat the fat,
and drink the sweet,
and send portions unto them
for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord:
neither be ye sorry; for the joy
of the LORD is your strength.
Part 4. BIBLE REVELATIONS
The Bible tells us about the Future: my future, your future, everyone's future and the future of our planet and the entire universe. Everything God has created. This is why everyone should study the Bible.
2Tim 2:7
Consider what I say; and the Lord
give thee understanding in all things.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
John 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
Genesis 1:
God speaks, communes, creates and blesses.
Man is made in God's image.
Man has dominion over all the earth.
God created them, male and female.
And God blessed them, and God
said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth
and subdue it: and have dominion
that moveth upon the earth.
*[[Gen 1:31]] KJV*
And God saw
everything that he had made,
and, behold, it was very good.
Be fruitful and multiply.
God made mankind sexual
and it was very good.
Too many of us believe sex
is dirty, unclean and sinful.
---------------
*[[Gen 1:22]] KJV*
And God blessed them, saying,
Be fruitful, and multiply,
and fill the waters
in the seas, and let
fowl multiply in the earth.
*[[Gen 1:26]] KJV*
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.
*[[Gen 1:27]] KJV*
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
*[[Gen 1:28]] KJV*
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.
*[[Gen 1:31]] KJV*
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.
I call heaven and earth
to record this day against you,
that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou
and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love
the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest obey his voice,
and that thou mayest cleave unto him:
for he is thy life, and the
length of thy days:
that thou mayest dwell in
the land which the LORD
sware unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob, to give them.
Deuteronomy 30 KJV
1 And it shall come to pass,
when all these things
are come upon thee,
the blessing and the curse,
which I have set before thee,
and thou shalt call them to mind
whither the LORD thy God
hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto
the LORD thy God,
and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day,
thou and thy children,
with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul;
3 That then the LORD
thy God will turn
thy captivity, and have
compassion upon thee,
and will return and gather
thee from all the nations,
whither the LORD thy God
hath scattered thee.
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart,
[BORN AGAIN]
and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all
these curses upon thine enemies,
and on them that hate thee,
which persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt return and obey
the voice of the LORD,
and do all his commandments
which I command thee this day.
9 And the LORD thy God
will make thee plenteous
in every work of thine hand,
in the fruit of thy body,
and in the fruit of thy cattle,
and in the fruit of thy land,
for good: for the LORD will again
rejoice over thee for good,
as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken
unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes
which are written in this book of the law,
and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God,
to walk in his ways, and to keep
his commandments and his statutes
and his judgments, that thou mayest
live and multiply: and the LORD thy God
shall bless thee in the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away,
so that thou wilt not hear,
but shalt be drawn away,
and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day,
that ye shall surely perish,
and that ye shall not prolong your days
upon the land, whither thou passest over
Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set
before you life and death,
blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest obey his voice,
and that thou mayest cleave unto him:
for he is thy life,
and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land
which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob, to give them.
29 The secret things belong
unto the LORD our God:
but those things which are
revealed belong unto us
and to our children for ever,
that we may do all
the words of this law.
Part 5. YOUR FUTURE
Your future is determined by your relationship to God.
Children Of God
1Jn 3:
9 No one who is born of God practices sin,
Because His seed abides in him;
And he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 By this the children of God
And the children of the devil are obvious:
Anyone who does not practice righteousness
Is not of God, nor the one who
Does not love his brother.
11 For this is the message
Which you have heard
From the beginning, that we
Should love one another;
Are you a child of God or a child of the devil?
God’s Judgment
2 Kgs 2:24
When he turned around and saw them,
He called God’s judgment down on them.
Two female bears came out of the woods
And ripped forty-two of the boys to pieces.
Jn 3:
3. Jesus answered and said to him,
“Truly, truly, I say to you,
Unless one is born again
He cannot see the kingdom of God.”
16 “For God so loved the world, That He gave His only begotten Son,
That whoever believes in Him
Shall not perish,
But have eternal life.
17 For God did not send the Son
Into the world to judge the world,
But that the world might
Be saved through Him.
18 He who believes in Him is not judged;
He who does not believe
Has been judged already,
Because he has not believed in the name
Of the only begotten Son of God.
19 This is the judgment,
That the Light has come
Into the world,
And men loved the darkness
Rather than the Light,
For their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone who does evil
Hates the Light, and does not
Come to the Light for fear
That his deeds will be exposed.
21 But he who practices the truth Comes to the Light,
So that his deeds may be manifested
As having been wrought in God.”
Romans 2:5-6
But because of your stubbornness
And unrepentant heart
You are storing up wrath for
Yourself in the day of wrath
And revelation of the righteous
Judgment of God, who will render
To each person according to his deeds:
Revelation 3:19
Those whom I love, I reprove
And discipline; therefore be
Zealous and repent.
1 Corinthians 11:30-32
For this reason many among
You are weak and sick,
And a number sleep. But if
We judged ourselves rightly,
We would not be judged.
But when we are judged,
We are disciplined by the
Lord so that we will not
Be condemned along with the world.
Rom 8:
31 What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son,
But delivered him up for us all,
How shall he not with him
Also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge
Of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died,
Yea rather, that is risen again,
Who is even at the right hand of God,
Who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us
From the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress,
Or persecution, or famine,
Or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For
Thy sake we are killed
All the day long; we are accounted
As sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more
Than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that
Neither death, nor life,
Nor angels, nor principalities,
Nor powers, nor things present,
Nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth,
Nor any other creature,
Shall be able to separate
Us from the love of God,
Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1John 4:
4 Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world:
therefore speak they of the world,
and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God:
he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not of God heareth not us.
Hereby know we the spirit of truth,
and the spirit of error.

Is come, he will guide you into all truth:
For he shall not speak of himself;
But whatsoever he shall hear,
That shall he speak:
And he will shew you things to come.
Deuteronomy/30
19 I call heaven and earth to record
This day against you,
That I have set before you
Life and death,
Blessing and cursing:
Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
And that thou mayest obey his voice,
And that thou mayest cleave unto him:
For he is thy life, and the length
Of thy days: that thou mayest dwell

Unless one is born again
He cannot see the kingdom of God.”
16 “For God so loved the world,
That He gave His only begotten Son,
That whoever believes in Him
Shall not perish, but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send the Son
Into the world to judge the world,
But that the world might be saved through Him.
18 He who believes in Him is not judged;
He who does not believe has been judged
Already, because he has not believed
In the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Revelation 3:19
Those whom I love, I reprove
And discipline; therefore
Be zealous and repent.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things
Work together for good
To them that love God,
According to his purpose.
Jeremiah 24:6
For I will set mine eyes
Upon them for good,
And I will bring them
Again to this land:
And I will build them,
And not pull them down;
And I will plant them,
And not pluck them up.
Proverbs 21:5
The thoughts of the diligent
Tend only to plenteousness;
But of every one that
Is hasty only to want.
Acts 20:35
I have shewed you all things,
How that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, And to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said unto them, Go your way,
Eat the fat, and drink the sweet,
And send portions unto them For whom nothing is prepared:
For this day is holy unto our Lord:
Neither be ye sorry;
For the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Rom 8:
31 What shall we then say
To these things? If God be for us,
Who can be against us?
YOUR FUTURE BEHAVIOR:
Love ye your enemies, and do good,
And lend, hoping for nothing again;
And your reward shall be great,
And ye shall be the children
Of the Highest: for he is kind
Unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful,
As your Father also is merciful.
45 A good man out of the good
Treasure of his heart
Bringeth forth that which is good;
And an evil man out of the evil
Treasure of his heart
Bringeth forth that which is evil: For of the abundance of
The heart his mouth speaketh.
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
And DO not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me,
And heareth my sayings,
And DOES them, I will
Shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which
Built an house, and digged deep,
And laid the foundation on a rock:
And when the flood arose,
The stream beat vehemently
Upon that house, and could not
Shake it: for it was
Founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth,
And doeth not,
Is like a man that without
A foundation built an house
Upon the earth; against which
The stream did beat vehemently,
And immediately it fell;
And the ruin of that
House was great.
2Chr 31:10 And Azariah the chief priest
Of the house of Zadok answered him,
And said, Since the people
Began to bring the offerings
Into the house of the LORD,
We have had enough to eat,
And have left plenty:
For the LORD hath blessed his people;
And that which is left
Is this great store.
YOUR BEHAVIOR REFLECTS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
YOU MUST BE A DOER OF THE WORD
Part 7. CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL
Deuteronomy 30 KJV
17 But if thine heart turn away,
So that thou wilt not hear,
But shalt be drawn away,
And worship other gods,
And serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day,
That ye shall surely perish,
And that ye shall not
Prolong your days upon the land,
Whither thou passest over
Jordan to go to possess it.
Are you a child of God or a child of the devil?

Ps1:4 The ungodly are not so:
But are like the chaff
Which the wind driveth away.
5 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.
Romans 2:5-6

But if we judged ourselves rightly,
We would not be judged.
But when we are judged,
We are disciplined by the Lord
So that we will not
Be condemned along with the world.
Lk 6:24 But woe unto you that are rich!
For ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full!
For ye shall hunger.
Woe unto you that laugh now!
For ye shall mourn and weep.
All men shall speak
Well of you! For so did their
Fathers to the false prophets.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
And do not the things which I say?
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not,
Is like a man that without a foundation
Built an house upon the earth;
Against which the stream did
Beat vehemently, and immediately it fell;
And the ruin of that house was great.
Part 8. BLESSED FUTURE
BEING A CHILD OF GOD YOU ARE BLESSED!
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is
in the law [WORD]
of the LORD; and in his law [WORD]
doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit
in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither; and whatsoever
he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away.
5 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.
Psalm 23 {A Psalm of David.}
The LORD is my shepherd;
I SHALL NOT WANT.
2 He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside
the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk
through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a
table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anoint my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell
in the house of the LORD for ever.
Beatitudes
Luke 6:
20 And he lifted up his eyes
on his disciples,
and said, Blessed be ye poor:
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now:
for ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now:
for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men
shall hate you,
and when they shall separate you
from their company, and shall
reproach you,
and cast out your name as evil,
for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day,
and leap for joy: for, behold,
your reward is great in heaven:
for in the like manner did their
fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you
that are rich!
for ye have received
your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full!
for ye shall hunger.
Woe unto you that laugh now!
for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men
shall speak well of you!
for so did their fathers
to the false prophets.
IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD:
You that are poor now are BLESSED
for your needs shall be fulfilled
in the Kingdom of God.
You that hunger now are BLESSED
for you shall be filled.
You that weep now are BLESSED
for you shall laugh.
men shall hate you,
and when they shall separate you
from their company, and
shall reproach you,
and cast out your name as evil,
for the Son of man's sake.
Rejoice ye in that day,
and leap for joy:
for, behold, your reward
is great in heaven:
for in the like manner
did their fathers
unto the prophets.
5 You that are the
meek are Blessed:
for you shall inherit the earth.
6 You that hunger and thirst
after righteousness
are Blessed: for you
shall be filled.
7 You that are the
merciful are Blessed:
for you shall obtain mercy.
in heart are Blessed:
for you shall see God.
9 You that are the peacemakers
are Blessed: for you shall be
called the children of God.
10 You that are persecuted
for righteousness' sake
are Blessed: for yours
is the kingdom of heaven.
YOUR FUTURE BEHAVIOR:
love ye your enemies, and do good,
and lend, hoping for nothing again;
and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the
children of the Highest:
for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful,
as your Father also is merciful.
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you;
good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure
that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again.
45 A good man out
of the good treasure
of his heart bringeth forth
that which is good;
and an evil man out
of the evil treasure
of his heart bringeth forth
that which is evil:
for of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaketh.
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
and DO not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me,
and heareth my sayings,
and DOES them, I will shew you
to whom he is like:
which built an house,
and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock:
and when the flood arose,
the stream beat vehemently
upon that house,
and could not shake it:
for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth,
and doeth not, is like a man
that without a foundation
built an house upon the earth;
against which the stream
did beat vehemently,
and immediately it fell;
and the ruin of that house was great.
YOUR BEHAVIOR REFLECTS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
YOU MUST BE A DOER OF THE WORD
Mt 5:19
Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called
the LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN:
and teach them, the same
shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That
except your righteousness
shall exceed the righteousness
of the scribes and Pharisees,
ye shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
Mt11:1
And it came to pass, when Jesus
had made an end of commanding
his twelve disciples, he departed thence
to teach and to preach in their cities.
9 But what went ye out for to see?
A prophet? yea, I say unto you,
and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he,
of whom it is written,
Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall
prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you,
Among them that are born
of women there hath not
risen a greater
than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least
in the kingdom of heaven
is greater than he.
12 And from the days of
John the Baptist until
now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the
law prophesied until John.
14 And if ye will receive it,
this is Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear.

Mat 5
1 And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which
do hunger and thirst
after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called
the children of God.
10 Blessed are they
which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men
shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men
IF YOU ARE NOT A CHILD OF GOD
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I say?
49 But he that heareth,
and doeth not,
is like a man that
without a foundation
built an house upon the earth;
against which the stream
did beat vehemently,
and immediately it fell;
and the ruin of that house was great.
PART 9. BLESSED – GENESIS
Children Of God
God blesses them that bless you.
In thee shall all families
of the earth be blessed.
Prosperity in God's Kingdom.
Heb 11:
they were not afraid
of the king's commandment.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king:
for he endured, as seeing
him who is invisible.
By faith miraculous events will occur in your life.
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction
with the people of God,
than to enjoy the pleasures
of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ
greater riches than the
treasures in Egypt:
for he had respect unto the
recompence of the reward.
32 And what shall I more say?
for the time would fail
me to tell of Gedeon,
and of Barak, and of Samson,
and of Jephthae;
of David also, and Samuel,
and of the prophets:
subdued kingdoms,
wrought righteousness,
obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Quenched the violence of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword,
out of weakness were made strong,
waxed valiant in fight,
turned to flight the
armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead
raised to life again:
20 By faith Isaac blessed
Jacob and Esau
concerning things to come.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith,
not having received the promises,
but having seen them afar off,
and were persuaded of them,
and embraced them, and confessed
that they were strangers
and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful
of that country from whence
they came out, they might have
had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country,
that is, an heavenly:
wherefore God is not ashamed
to be called their God:
for he hath prepared for them a city.
and others were tortured,
not accepting deliverance;
that they might obtain a
better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of
cruel mockings and scourgings,
yea, moreover of bonds
and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned,
they were sawn asunder,
were tempted, were slain
with the sword:
they wandered about in
being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:)
they wandered in deserts,
and in mountains,
and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all,
having obtained a good
report through faith,
received not the promise:
40 God having provided some
better thing for us,
that they without us
should not be made perfect.
Heb 5:9
Jesus the author of eternal salvation
unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews 8:6
But now hath he obtained
a more excellent ministry,
by how much also he is the mediator
of a better covenant,
which was established
upon better promises.
1Cor 12:
4 Now there are diversities
of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences
of administrations,
but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities
of operations, but it is the
same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit
the word of wisdom;
to another the word of
knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing
by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles;
to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits;
to another divers kinds of tongues;
to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one
and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man
severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one,
and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body,
being many, are one body:
so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we
all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made
to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not
one member, but many.
Because I am not the hand,
I am not of the body;
is it therefore not of the body?

By faith Moses, when he was born,
was hid three months of his parents,
because they saw he was a proper child;
and they were not afraid
of the king's commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he
was come to years,
refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction
with the people of God,
than to enjoy
the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ
greater riches
than the treasures in Egypt:
for he had respect
unto the recompence
of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt,
not fearing the wrath
of the king: for he endured,
as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover,
and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn
should touch them.
29 By faith they passed
through the Red sea
as by dry land: which the Egyptians
assaying to do were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

with them that believed not,
when she had received the spies with peace.

all the days of thy life;

Mat 5
1 And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain:
and when he was set,
his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth,
and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger

persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the
prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be
trodden under foot of men.

Children of the devil
Mt 3:7 O generation of vipers,
who hath warned you
to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits
meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves,
We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, that God
is able of these stones
to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid
unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which
bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you with
water unto repentance:
but he that cometh after me
is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will throughly purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire.
Mt 7:13
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:
14 Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.
Mt 7:21
Not every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will
of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me
in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Mt 10:11 And I say unto you,
That many shall come
from the east and west,
and shall sit down with Abraham,
and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 And whosoever shall not receive you,
nor hear your words, when ye depart out
of that house or city, shake
off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you,
It shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city.
28 And fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I confess also
before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me
before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come
to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man
at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law
against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be
they of his own household.
Mt 11:20
Then began he to upbraid the cities
wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin!
woe unto thee, Bethsaida!
for if the mighty works,
which were done in you,
had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented
long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be
more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon
at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted unto heaven,
shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works,
which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom,
it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you,
That it shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom
in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Mt 12:30 He that is not with me
is against me; and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men:
but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word
against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh
against the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him,
neither in this world,
neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good;
or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt:
for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye,
being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure
of the heart bringeth forth good things:
and an evil man out of the evil treasure
bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Mt 24:4 And Jesus answered
and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars
and rumours of wars:
see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (birth pains) 21 For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning
of the world to this time,
no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened.
37 But as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour
your Lord doth come.
43 But know this,
that if the goodman of the house had known
in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched,
and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler
over his household,
to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh
shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you,
That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant
shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come
in a day when he looketh not for him,
and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder,
and appoint him his portion
with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.

and ye shall lie down, and
none shall make you afraid:

out of the land, neither shall

and they shall fall
before you by the sword.
8And five of you shall chase an hundred,

and bring forth
the old because of the new.
11And I will set my tabernacle among you:

for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

40If they shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their fathers,
with their trespass which they
trespassed against me, and that also
they have walked contrary unto me;
41And that I also have walked
contrary unto them, and have brought them

punishment of their iniquity:

and also my covenant with Abraham
will I remember;
and I will remember the land.
43The land also shall be left of them,
and shall enjoy her sabbaths,

punishment of their iniquity:
because, even because they
despised my judgments,
and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
44And yet for all that,
when they be in the land of their enemies,
I will not cast them away,
neither will I abhor them,
to destroy them utterly,
and to break my covenant
with them: for I am
the LORD their God.
45But I will for their sakes
remember the covenant
of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of
the land of Egypt
in the sight of the heathen,
that I might be their God:
I am the LORD.
-------------------------------------
Children of the devil:
I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me;
14But if ye will not hearken unto me,
and will not do all these commandments;
15And if ye shall despise my statutes,
or if your soul abhor my judgments,
so that ye will not do
all my commandments,
but that ye break my covenant:
16I also will do this unto you;
I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague,
that shall consume the eyes,
and cause sorrow of heart:
and ye shall sow your seed in vain,
for your enemies shall eat it.
17And I will set my face against you,
and ye shall be slain before your enemies:
they that hate you shall reign over you;
and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
18 And if ye will not yet
for all this hearken unto me,
then I will punish you
seven times more for your sins.
19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron,
and your earth as brass:
20And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of
the land yield their fruits.
21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me;
I will bring seven times more plagues
upon you according to your sins.
22I will also send wild beasts among you,
which shall rob you of your children,
and destroy your cattle,
and make you few in number;
and your high ways shall be desolate.
23And if ye will not be reformed
by me by these things,
but will walk contrary unto me;
24Then will I also walk contrary unto you,
and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
25And I will bring a sword upon you,
that shall avenge the quarrel
of my covenant: and when ye are gathered
together within your cities,
I will send the pestilence among you;
and ye shall be delivered
into the hand of the enemy.
26And when I have broken
the staff of your bread,
ten women shall bake your
and they shall deliver you
your bread again by weight:
and ye shall eat,
and not be satisfied.
27And if ye will not for all
this hearken unto me,
but walk contrary unto me;
28Then I will walk contrary
unto you also in fury;
and I, even I, will chastise
you seven times for your sins.
29And ye shall eat the flesh
of your sons, and the flesh
of your daughters shall ye eat.
30And I will destroy your high places,
and cut down your images,
and cast your carcases
upon the carcases of your idols,
and my soul shall abhor you.
31And I will make your cities waste,
and bring your sanctuaries
unto desolation, and I will not smell
the savour of your sweet odours.
32And I will bring the land
into desolation:
and your enemies which dwell
therein shall be astonished at it.
33And I will scatter
you among the heathen,
and will draw out a sword after you:
and your land shall be desolate,
and your cities waste.
34Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths,
as long as it lieth desolate,
and ye be in your enemies' land;
even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths,
when ye dwelt upon it.
36And upon them that are left alive of you
I will send a faintness into their hearts
in the lands of their enemies;
and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
37And they shall fall one upon another,
as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power
to stand before your enemies.
38And ye shall perish among the heathen,
and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39And they that are left of you
shall pine away in their iniquity
in your enemies' lands;
and also in the iniquities
of their fathers shall
they pine away with them.

Ex 20:
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God,
which have brought thee out
of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God
am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the
children unto the third
and fourth generation
of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them
that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD
thy God in vain; for the LORD
will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it
thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD
made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD
blessed the sabbath day,
and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother:
that thy days may be long upon the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbour.
thy neighbour's house,
thou shalt not covet
thy neighbour's wife,
nor his manservant,
nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that
is thy neighbour's.

Punishments for Disobedience

Part 12. BLESSED – MARK
1Jn3:10
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, Neither he that loveth not his brother.
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; But in deed and in truth.
Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is
Baptized shall be saved;
Not shall be damned.
Mark 1:15
And saying, The time is fulfilled,
And the kingdom of God is at hand:
Repent ye, and believe the gospel
CHILDREN OF GOD
Mark 1:1
The beginning of the gospel
Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Mark 16:17
And these signs shall
Follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils;
They shall speak with new tongues;
Mark 12:29
And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord
Our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love
The Lord thy God
With all thy heart,
And with all thy mind,
And with all thy strength:
This is the first commandment.
Mark 8:34
And when he had called
The people unto him
With his disciples also,
He said unto them,
Whosoever will come after me,
Let him deny himself,
And take up his cross,
And follow me.
Mk 10:21
Then Jesus beholding him
Loved him, and said unto him,
One thing thou lackest:
Go thy way, sell whatsoever
Thou hast, and give to the poor,
And thou shalt have treasure in heaven:
And come, take up the
Cross, and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying,
And went away grieved:
For he had great possessions.
19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, And I will make you fishers of men.”
48 But Jesus answered the one
Who was telling Him and said,
“Who is My mother and
Who are My brothers?”
49 And stretching out His hand
Toward His disciples,
He said, “Behold My mother
And My brothers!
50 For whoever does the will
Of My Father who is in heaven,
He is My brother and sister and mother.”
14 The sower sows the word.
15 These are the ones
Who are beside the road
Where the word is sown;
And when they hear,
Immediately Satan comes
And takes away the word
Which has been sown in them.
16 In a similar way these
Are the ones on whom
Seed was sown on the rocky places,
Who, when they hear the word, Immediately receive it with joy;
17 and they have no firm root
In themselves, but are only temporary;
Then, when affliction or persecution
Arises because of the word,
Immediately they fall away.
18 And others are the ones
On whom seed was sown among
The thorns; these are the ones
Who have heard the word,
19 but the worries of the world,
And the deceitfulness of riches,
And the desires for other things
Enter in and choke the word,
And it becomes unfruitful.
20 And those are the ones on whom
Seed was sown on the good soil;
And they hear the word and accept it
And bear fruit, thirty,
Sixty, and a hundredfold.”
4 But He answered and said,
“It is written, ‘Man shall not
Live on bread alone,
But on every word that proceeds Out of the mouth of God.’”
7 Jesus said to him,
“On the other hand,
It is written,
‘You shall not put the Lord
Your God to the test.’”
8 Again, the devil took Him
To a very high mountain
And showed Him all the
Kingdoms of the world
And their glory;
9 and he said to Him,
“All these things I will give You,
If You fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him,
“Go, Satan! For it is written,
‘You shall worship the
Lord your God, and serve Him only.’”
MARK 10
Man and nature
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write
A bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
For the hardness of your heart
He wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation
God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man
Leave his father and mother,
And cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh:
So then they are no more
Twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined
Together, let not man put asunder.
13 And they brought young children
To him, that he should touch them:
And his disciples rebuked
Those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it,
He was much displeased,
And said unto them, Suffer
The little children to come unto me,
And forbid them not: for of Such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive
The kingdom of God as a little child,
He shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms,
Put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
27 And Jesus looking upon them saith,
With men it is impossible,
But not with God: for with
God all things are possible.
29 And Jesus answered and said,
Verily I say unto you,
There is no man that hath
Left house, or brethren,
Or sisters, or father,
Or mother, or wife,
Or children, or lands,
For my sake, and the gospel’s,
30 But he shall receive an
Hundredfold now in this time,
Houses, and brethren, and sisters,
And mothers, and children,
And lands, with persecutions; And in the world to come eternal life.
31 But many that are first
Shall be last; and the last first.
43 But so shall it not be among you:
But whosoever will be great
Among you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be
The chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not
To be ministered unto, but to minister,
And to give his life a ransom for many.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way;
Thy faith hath made thee whole.
And immediately he received his sight,
And followed Jesus in the way.
Mark 11
And many spread their garments in the way:
And others cut down branches off the trees, And strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before,
And they that followed,
Cried, saying, Hosanna;
In the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom
Of our father David,
That cometh in the name
Of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Mark 14
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone;
Why trouble ye her?
She hath wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always,
And whensoever ye will ye may do them good: 13 And he sendeth forth two
Of his disciples, and saith unto them,
Go ye into the city, and there
Shall meet you a man
Bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in,
Say ye to the goodman of the house,
The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, Where I shall eat the passover
With my disciples?
22 And as they did eat,
Jesus took bread, and blessed,
And brake it, and gave to them, And said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup,
And when he had given thanks,
He gave it to them:
And they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood
Of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Mark 13:32
But of that day and that hour
Knoweth no man, no, not the
Angels which are in heaven,
Neither the Son, but the Father.
CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL
Mk3:4 And he saith unto them,
Is it lawful to do good
On the sabbath days,
Or to do evil? To save life,
Or to kill?
But they held their peace.
5 And when he had looked round
About on them with anger,
Being grieved for the hardness
Of their hearts, he saith unto The man, Stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched it out: and his hand
Was restored whole as the other.
6 And the Pharisees went forth,
And straightway took counsel
With the Herodians against him,
How they might destroy him.
22 And the scribes which
Came down from Jerusalem
Said, He hath Beelzebub,
And by the prince of the devils
Casteth he out devils.
23 And he called them unto him,
And said unto them in parables,
How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom be divided
Against itself,
That kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided
Against itself,
That house cannot stand.
Against himself, and be divided,
He cannot stand, but hath an end.
27 No man can enter into
A strong man’s house,
And spoil his goods,
Except he will first
Bind the strong man;
And then he will spoil his house.
28 Verily I say unto you,
All sins shall be forgiven
Unto the sons of men,
And blasphemies wherewith
Soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme
Against the Holy Ghost
Hath never forgiveness,
But is in danger of eternal damnation:
30 Because they said, He
Hath an unclean spirit.
Mk4: Hearken; Behold,
There went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed,
Some fell by the way side,
And the fowls of the air
Came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground,
Where it had not much earth;
And immediately it sprang up,
Because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up,
It was scorched;
And because it had no root,
It withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns,
And the thorns grew up,
And choked it, and it
Yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground,
And did yield fruit that
Sprang up and increased;
And brought forth, some
Thirty, and some sixty,
And some an hundred.
He that hath ears to hear,
Let him hear.
10 And when he was alone,
They that were about him
With the twelve asked
Of him the parable.
11 And he said unto them,
Unto you it is given
To know the mystery
Of the kingdom of God:
But unto them that are without,
All these things are done in parables:
12 That seeing they may see,
And not perceive;
And hearing they may hear,
And not understand;
Lest at any time they
Should be converted,
And their sins should
Be forgiven them.
Mk 6:11 And whosoever shall not
Receive you, nor hear you,
When ye depart thence,
Shake off the dust under your feet
Verily I say unto you,
It shall be more tolerable
For Sodom and Gomorrha
In the day of judgment,
Than for that city.
Mk7:5 Then the Pharisees
And scribes asked him,
Why walk not thy disciples
According to the tradition of the elders,
But eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them,
Well hath Esaias prophesied
Of you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honoureth me with their lips,
But their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me,
Teaching for doctrines
The commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the
Commandment of God,
Ye hold the tradition of men,
As the washing of pots and cups:
And many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well Ye reject the commandment of God,
That ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour
Thy father and thy mother; and,
Whoso curseth father or mother,
Let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man
Shall say to his father or mother,
It is Corban, that is to say,
A gift, by whatsoever thou
Mightest be profited by me;
He shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do
Ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God
Of none effect
Through your tradition,
Which ye have delivered:
And many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all
The people unto him,
He said unto them, Hearken unto me
Every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, That entering into him can defile him:
But the things which come out of him,
Those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear,
Let him hear.
17 And when he was entered
Into the house from the people,
His disciples asked him
Concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them,
Are ye so without understanding also?
Do ye not perceive,
That whatsoever thing
From without entereth i
Nto the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not
Into his heart,
But into the belly,
And goeth out into the draught,
Purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which
Cometh out of the man,
That defileth the man.
Out of the heart of men,
Proceed evil thoughts,
Adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness,
Deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
Blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come
From within, and defile the man.
Mk8:36 For what shall it profit a man,
If he shall gain the whole world,
And lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give
In exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore
Shall be ashamed of me
And of my words in this
Adulterous and sinful generation;
Of him also shall the
Son of man be ashamed,
When he cometh in the glory
Of his Father with the holy angels.
Mk14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth, As it is written of him:
But woe to that man by whom
The Son of man is betrayed!
Good were it for that man
If he had never been born.
Part 13. BLESSED – NUMBERS
1Jn3:10
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: Whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, Neither he that loveth not his brother.
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; But in deed and in truth.
Children of God
It pleases the LORD to bless you.
The spirit of God will come upon you
You shall hear the words of God,
And see the vision of the Almighty,
Falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
Nu24:1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased The LORD to bless Israel, he went not,
As at other times, to seek for enchantments, But he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel Abiding in his tents according to their tribes; And the spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said,
Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
And the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, Which saw the vision of the Almighty,
Falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,
And thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 Your homes spread forth as the valleys are, As gardens by the river’s side, as the trees Of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted,
And as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, And his seed shall be in many waters,
And his king shall be higher than Agag,
And his kingdom shall be exalted.
The strength of an unicorn:
You shall eat up the nations your enemies,
And shall break their bones,
And pierce them through with your arrows.
9 You couched, you lay down as a lion,
And as a great lion: who shall stir you up?
Blessed is he that blesseth thee,
And cursed is he that curseth thee.
Nu6:24
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee,
And be gracious unto thee:
26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, And give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children Of Israel; and I will bless them.
Numbers 22:6
Come now therefore, I pray thee,
Curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: Peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, And that I may drive them out of the land:
For I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, And he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Read all of Numbers 22: Balaam and his donkey. Chapters 23 and 24
Nu 23:20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob,
Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: The LORD his God is with him,
And the shout of a king is among them.
22 God brought them out of Egypt;
He hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, Neither is there any divination against Israel: According to this time it shall be said of Jacob And of Israel, What hath God wrought!
24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, And lift up himself as a young lion:
He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.
All the earth shall be filled
With the glory of the LORD.
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit With him, and hath followed me fully,
Him will I bring
Into the land whereinto he went;
And his seed shall possess it.
Nu 14:7 Joshua and Caleb spake unto all the company Of the children of Israel, saying, The land, Which we passed through to search it,
Is an exceeding good land.
8 If the LORD delight in us,
Then he will bring us
Into this land, and give it us;
A land which floweth with milk and honey.
9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD,
Neither fear ye the people of the land;
For they are bread for us:
Their defence is departed from them,
And the LORD is with us: fear them not.
Nu 11:16 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Gather unto me seventy men
Of the elders of Israel,
Whom thou knowest to be the
Elders of the people,
And officers over them; and bring them
Unto the tabernacle of the congregation, That they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and
Talk with thee there:
And I will take of the spirit
Which is upon thee,
And will put it upon them;
And they shall bear the burden
Of the people with thee,
That thou bear it not thyself alone.
Nu 15:15 One ordinance shall be both
For you of the congregation,
And also for the stranger that
Sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever
In your generations: as ye are, so shall
The stranger be before the LORD.
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, And for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
Nu 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, And said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; For we are well able to overcome it.
Nu23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent;
Has He said, and will He not do it?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Nu14:20 And the LORD said,
I have pardoned according to thy word:
21 But as truly as I live, all the earth
Shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
Nu14:24 But my servant Caleb,
Because he had another spirit with him,
And hath followed me fully,
Him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; And his seed shall possess it.
Children of the devil
Nu14:2 The people spoke against God and Moses,
“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt
To die in the wilderness?
For there is no food and no water,
And we loathe this miserable food.”
The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people And they bit the people,
So that many people of Israel died.
Nu14:3 And wherefore hath the LORD
Brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, That our wives and our children should be a prey?
Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain,
And let us return into Egypt.
11 And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long will this people provoke me?
And how long will it be ere they believe me, For all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence,
And disinherit them, and will make of thee
A greater nation and mightier than they.
22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, And my miracles, and have tempted me
Now these ten times,
And have not hearkened to my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land
Which I sware unto their fathers,
Neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 30 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.
34 After the number of the days
In which ye searched the land,
Even forty days, each day for a year,
Shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, And ye shall know my breach of promise.
35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it Unto all this evil congregation,
That are gathered together against me:
In this wilderness they shall be consumed,
And there they shall die.
Nu14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, And my miracles, which I did in Egypt
And in the wilderness, and have tempted me now These ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23 Surely they shall not see the land Which I sware unto their fathers,
Neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
PART 14. BLESSED – LUKE
CHILDREN OF GOD
Angels will come unto you.
You are highly favored.
The Lord is with you.
You are blessed.
Fear not. For you have found favor with God.
God’s Kingdom shall have no end.
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
And the power of the Highest shall overshadow you.
You shall be called a Son of God.
37. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Be it unto me according to God’s word.
Being filled with the Holy Ghost.
45 And blessed are you that believed:
For there shall be a performance of those things Which were told you from the Lord.
46 My soul doth magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low estate
Of his servant for, behold, from henceforth All generations shall call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me
Great things; and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is on them that fear him
From generation to generation.
51 He hath shewed strength with his arm;
And exalted them of low degree.
53 He hath filled the hungry with good things.
54 He hath holpen his servant Israel,
In remembrance of his mercy;
55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham,
And to his seed for ever.
Filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;
For he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation
For us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, Which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, And from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us,
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness and righteousness before him, All the days of our life.
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet Of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face Of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people By the remission of their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of our God;
Whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 79 To give light to them that sit in darkness And in the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, And was in the deserts till the day of his shewing Lk6:25 Simeon; and was just and devout,
Waiting for the consolation of Israel:
The Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, That he should not see death,
Before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 he came by the Spirit into the temple:
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant
Depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared
Before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles,
And the glory of thy people Israel.
Behold, this child is set for the fall
And rising again of many in Israel;
And for a sign which shall be spoken against; 35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through
Thy own soul also,) that the thoughts
Of many hearts may be revealed.
The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
He knew their thoughts,
For there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
Lk6:20 And he lifted up his eyes
On his disciples, and said,
Blessed be ye poor:
For yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: For ye shall be filled.
Blessed are ye that weep now:
For ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, And when they shall separate you from their company, And shall reproach you, and cast out your name As evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: For, behold, your reward is great in heaven: For in the like manner did their fathers
Unto the prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear,
Love your enemies,
Do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray
For them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee
On the one cheek offer also the other;
And him that taketh away thy cloke
Forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; And of him that taketh away thy goods
Ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, Do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you,
What thank have ye?
For sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, What thank have ye?
For sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom
Ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?
For sinners also lend to sinners,
To receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good,
And lend, hoping for nothing again;
And your reward shall be great,
And ye shall be the children of the Highest: For he is kind unto the unthankful
And to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, As your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you;
Good measure, pressed down,
And shaken together, and running over,
Shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete
Withal it shall be measured to you again.
40 The disciple is not above his master:
But every one that is perfect
Shall be as his master.
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth
Corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree
Bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit.
For of thorns men do not gather figs,
Nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure
Of his heart bringeth forth that which is good;
And an evil man out of the evil treasure Of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, And doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house,
And digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently Upon that house, and could not shake it:
For it was founded upon a rock.
Lk7:6 Lord, trouble not thyself:
For I am not worthy
That thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy To come unto thee: but say in a word,
And my servant shall be healed
I say unto you, I have not found
So great faith, no, not in Israel.
13 the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, And said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: And they that bare him stood still.
And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak.
And he delivered him to his mother.
That God hath visited his people.
What things ye have seen and heard;
How that the blind see, the lame walk,
The lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
The dead are raised,
To the poor the gospel is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever
Shall not be offended in me.
28 For I say unto you,
Among those that are born of women
There is not a greater prophet
Than John the Baptist:
But he that is least
In the kingdom of God is greater than he.
And stood at his feet behind him weeping,
And began to wash his feet with tears,
And did wipe them with the hairs of her head,
And anointed them with the ointment.
Her sins, which are many, are forgiven;
For she loved much:
But to whom little is forgiven,
The same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
50 And he said to the woman,
Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Lk8:1 he went throughout every city and village, Preaching and shewing the glad tidings
Of the kingdom of God:
And the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women,
Which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, And Susanna, and many others,
Which ministered unto him of their substance.
Unto you it is given to know
The mysteries of the kingdom of God:
But to others in parables;
That seeing they might not see,
And hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this:
The seed is the word of God.
15 But that on the good ground are they,
Which in an honest and good heart,
Having heard the word, keep it,
And bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle,
Covereth it with a vessel,
Or putteth it under a bed;
But setteth it on a candlestick,
That they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret,
That shall not be made manifest;
Neither any thing hid,
That shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear:
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given;
And whosoever hath not,
From him shall be taken
Even that which he seemeth to have.
My mother and my brethren are these Which hear the word of God, and do it.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; And came to Jesus, and found the man,
Out of whom the devils were departed,
Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed,
And in his right mind:
And they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means He that was possessed of the devils was healed.
39 Return to thine own house,
And shew how great things
God hath done unto thee.
And he went his way, and published
Throughout the whole city how great things
Jesus had done unto him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, And he was a ruler of the synagogue:
And he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him That he would come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about
Twelve years of age, and she lay a dying
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: For I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, She came trembling, and falling down before him, She declared unto him before all the people For what cause she had touched him,
And how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter,
Be of good comfort:
Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it,
He answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe only,
And she shall be made whole.
Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
And took her by the hand, and called,
Saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again,
And she arose straightway:
All of Luke 10, Evangelists
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great,
But the labourers are few:
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
That he would send forth
Labourers into his harvest.
Lk10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter,
And they receive you,
Eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein,
And say unto them,
The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan
As lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread
On serpents and scorpions, and over all
The power of the enemy:
And nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,
That the spirits are subject unto you;
But rather rejoice, because
Your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, And said,I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth,
That thou hast hid these things
From the wise and prudent,
And hast revealed them unto babes:
Even so, Father;
For so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered
To me of my Father:
And no man knoweth who the Son is,
But the Father; and who the Father is,
But the Son, and he to whom
The Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples,
And said privately, Blessed are the eyes
Which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings Have desired to see those things which ye see, And have not seen them;
And to hear those things which ye hear,
And have not heard them.
And he answering said,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
With all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
And with all thy strength,
And thy neighbour as thyself.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, Came where he was: and when he saw him,
He had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, Pouring in oil and wine,
And set him on his own beast,
And brought him to an inn,
And took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed,
He took out two pence,
And gave them to the host,
And said unto him, Take care of him;
And whatsoever thou spendest more,
When I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three,
Thinkest thou, was neighbour
Unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him.
Then said Jesus unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful
And troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful:
And Mary hath chosen that good part,
Which shall not be taken away from her.
Lk 11:27
As he spake these things,
A certain woman of the company
Lifted up her voice, and said unto him,
Blessed is the womb that bare thee,
And the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather,
Blessed are they that hear the word
Of God, and keep it.
Lk12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever
Shall confess me before men,
Him shall the Son of man also confess
Before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men
Shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word
Against the Son of man,
But unto him that blasphemeth
Against the Holy Ghost
It shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, And unto magistrates, and powers,
Take ye no thought how or what thing
Ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you
In the same hour what ye ought to say.
22 And he said unto his disciples,
Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life,
What ye shall eat; neither for the body,
What ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat,
And the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens:
For they neither sow nor reap;
Which neither have storehouse nor barn;
And God feedeth them: how much more are
Ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought Can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able
To do that thing which is least,
Why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow:
They toil not, they spin not;
And yet I say unto you, that Solomon
In all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass,
Which is to day in the field,
And to morrow is cast into the oven;
How much more will he clothe you,
O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat,
Or what ye shall drink,
Neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations
Of the world seek after:
And your Father knoweth that ye have need
Of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God;
And all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock;
For it is your Father’s
Good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms;
Provide yourselves bags which wax not old,
A treasure in the heavens that faileth not, Where no thief approacheth,
Neither moth corrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is,
There will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about,
And your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men
That wait for their lord,
When he will return from the wedding;
That when he cometh and knocketh,
They may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord When he cometh shall find watching:
Verily I say unto you,
That he shall gird himself,
And make them to sit down to meat,
And will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, Or come in the third watch, and find them so, Blessed are those servants.
42 And the Lord said, Who then
Is that faithful and wise steward,
Whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, To give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord
When he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will
Make him ruler over all that he hath.
Lk13:29 And they shall come from the east,
And from the west, and from the north,
And from the south, and shall sit down
In the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last
Which shall be first,
And there are first which shall be last.
Lk14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper,
Call not thy friends, nor thy brethren,
Neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours;
Lest they also bid thee again, And a recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, The maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 And thou shalt be blessed;
For they cannot recompense thee:
For thou shalt be recompensed
At the resurrection of the just.
Lk19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King
That cometh in the name of the Lord:
Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL
Lk6: GOD hath scattered the proud
In the imagination of their hearts.
52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, And the rich he hath sent empty away.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful
To do on the sabbath days?
Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal On the sabbath day;
That they might find an accusation against him.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, Or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy it?
They were filled with madness; and communed one With another what they might do to Jesus.
Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
24 But woe unto you that are rich!
For ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full!
For ye shall hunger.
Woe unto you that laugh now!
For ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men
Shall speak well of you!
For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Sinners also love those that love them.
33 if ye do good to them which do good to you, For sinners also do even the same.
34 for sinners also lend to sinners,
To receive as much again.
39 And he spake a parable unto them,
Can the blind lead the blind?
Shall they not both fall into the ditch?
41 And why beholdest thou the mote
That is in thy brother’s eye,
But perceivest not the beam
That is in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote
That is in thine eye,
When thou thyself beholdest not
The beam that is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam
Out of thine own eye,
And then shalt thou see clearly to pull out The mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
And do not the things which I say?
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, Is like a man that without a foundation
Built an house upon the earth;
Against which the stream did beat vehemently, And immediately it fell;
And the ruin of that house was great.
Lk7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers
Rejected the counsel of God
Against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken The men of this generation?
And to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children
Sitting in the marketplace,
And calling one to another, and saying,
We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread Nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; And ye say, Behold a gluttonous man,
And a winebibber,
A friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Lk 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; Then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word Out of their hearts,
Lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, Receive the word with joy; and these have no root, Which for a while believe, and in time
Of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, When they have heard, go forth, and are choked With cares and riches and pleasures of this life, And bring no fruit to perfection.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear:
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given;
And whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken Even that which he seemeth to have.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit To come out of the man.
For oftentimes it had caught him:
And he was kept bound with chains
And in fetters; and he brake the bands,
And was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name?
And he said, Legion: because many devils
Were entered into him.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country
Of the Gadarenes round about besought him
To depart from them; for they were taken
With great fear: and he went up into the ship, And returned back again.
53 And they laughed him to scorn,
Knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out,
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter,
And they receive you not,
Go your ways out into the streets
Of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city,
Which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: Notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable In that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Lk12:1 Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, Which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered,
That shall not be revealed;
Neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness Shall be heard in the light;
And that which ye have spoken
In the ear in closets shall be
Proclaimed upon the housetops.
Lk12:4 And I say unto you my friends,
Be not afraid of them that kill the body,
And after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed
Hath power to cast into hell;
Yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, And not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head
Are all numbered. Fear not therefore:
Ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me Before men,him shall the Son of man also confess Before the angels of God:
9 But he that denieth me before men
Shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word against The Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:
But unto him that blasphemeth
Against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
13 And one of the company said unto him,
Master, speak to my brother,
That he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man,
Who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed,
And beware of covetousness:
For a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance Of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them,
Saying, The ground of a certain rich man
Brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself,
Saying, What shall I do,
Because I have no room
Where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do:
I will pull down my barns,
And build greater;
And there will I bestow all
My fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul,
Soul, thou hast much goods
Laid up for many years; take thine ease,
Eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool,
This night thy soul shall be required of thee: Then whose shall those things be,
Which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, And is not rich toward God.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house Had known what hour the thief would come,
He would have watched, and not have suffered His house to be broken through.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat The menservants and maidens, and to eat
And drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant
Will come in a day when he looketh not for him, And at an hour when he is not aware,
And will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him His portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, And prepared not himself,
Neither did according to his will,
Shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit
Things worthy of stripes,
Shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given,
Of him shall be much required:
And to whom men have committed much,
Of him they will ask the more.
Suppose ye that I am come
To give peace on earth?
I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five
In one house divided,
Three against two, and two against three.
54 And he said also to the people,
When ye see a cloud rise out of the west,
Straightway ye say, There cometh
A shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky And of the earth; but how is it
That ye do not discern this time?
Lk13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord,
Are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate:
For many, I say unto you, will seek
To enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, And hath shut the door, and ye
Begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, Saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us;
And he shall answer and say unto you,
I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten And drunk in thy presence,
And thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you,
I know you not whence ye are;
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, When ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, And all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, And you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come from the east,
And from the west, and from the north,
And from the south,
And shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, And there are first which shall be last.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, And stonest them that are sent unto thee;
How often would I have gathered thy children together, As a hen doth gather her brood
Under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: And verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, Until the time come when ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Lk14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man Made a great supper, and bade many:
17 And sent his servant at supper time
To say to them that were bidden,
Come; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent
Began to make excuse.
The first said unto him,
I have bought a piece of ground,
And I must needs go and see it:
I pray thee have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought
Five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them:
I pray thee have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, And therefore I cannot come.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things.
Then the master of the house being angry
Said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets And lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, And the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done
As thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant,
Go out into the highways and hedges,
And compel them to come in,
That my house may be filled.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men Which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
PART 15. BLESSED – DEUTERONOMY
Your future is determined by your relationship to God.
CHILDREN OF GOD
Deuteronomy 2:7
For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee
In all the works of thy hand:
He knoweth thy walking
Through this great wilderness:
These forty years
The LORD thy God hath been with thee;
Thou hast lacked nothing.
Deuteronomy 7:14
Thou shalt be blessed above all people:
There shall not be male or female barren
Among you, or among your cattle.
Deuteronomy 12:7
And there ye shall eat
Before the LORD your God,
And ye shall rejoice in all
That ye put your hand unto,
Ye and your households, wherein
The LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
Deu 14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe
All the increase of thy seed,
That the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 And thou shalt eat
Before the LORD thy God,
In the place which he shall choose
To place his name there,
The tithe of thy corn, of thy wine,
And of thine oil, and the firstlings
Of thy herds and of thy flocks;
That thou mayest learn to fear
The LORD thy God always.
24 And if the way be too long for thee, So that thou art not able to carry it;
Or if the place be too far from thee,
Which the LORD thy God shall choose
To set his name there,
When the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
25 Then shalt thou turn it into money,
And bind up the money in thine hand,
And shalt go unto the place
Which the LORD thy God shall choose:
26 And thou shalt bestow that money
For whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,
For oxen, or for sheep, or for wine,
Or for strong drink, or for whatsoever
Thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there Before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, Thou, and thine household,
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; Thou shalt not forsake him;
For he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three years
Thou shalt bring forth all the tithe
Of thine increase the same year,
And shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part Nor inheritance with thee,)
And the stranger, and the fatherless,
And the widow, which are within thy gates,
Shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; That the LORD thy God may bless thee
In all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
