Day 88 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days

Good morning and praise the Lord for another day. We are going to continue in this excellent journey and eat this good food; the bible food that the Lord has prepared for us so we can join Him on the great feast on that great day.

We ended with the six trumpet being sounded and that took place during the seventh seal. Then John was giving the bible to read and it was sweet to get insight on this new understanding; but it was bitter to learn what is going on and what will happen. As Solomon said with much knowledge there is much grief.

Revelation 11

¹And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

²But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

John then sees a measuring rod and an angel orders him to rise up and measure the temple of God and the altar particulars but do not measure the courtyard that is out side the temple. Don't measure the courtyard because that will be given to the Gentiles because Jerusalem will be in their possession for 42 months, which is equal to three and a half years. During the great tribulation, a Gentile organization will inhabit Jerusalem, they will inhabit the temple and completely rule Jerusalem for 42 months.

If you recollect back to Ezekiel, he was showed a temple; but that temple was for Jesus when He returns. This temple is not. This temple is for the anti-Christ, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the abomination that causes desolation. Muslims have the temple space occupied now with the Dome of the Rock. However, over some years the EU, United Nations, or United States will broker a deal that will allow the Jewish people to have access to the courtyard to build the temple that people will think is for God; but it is not; it is for the man of sin.

The Lord will set up two witnesses that will prophesy during those three and half years, clothed in sackcloth. In Zechariah chapter 4 I believe we got a glimpse of these two olive trees. No body will be able to hurt these two witnesses of God who are here to balance the lies and deception the man of sin is going to promote. God will give His two witnesses power that men of old had, to shut heaven down with no rain, hit the earth with plagues like Moses and Aaron did. And when these witnesses are done after 3.5 years, the Gentiles will kill them (v3-7).

¹³And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Once the two witnesses are killed; no one in Jerusalem will even go pick up and bury their dead bodies, and we know it's in Jerusalem because it says in verse eight, they lie in the street of a great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where the Lord was crucified. The Lord was crucified in Jerusalem.

This will be on CNN and all kinds of news stations because all nations will see their dead bodies and for 3.5 days not one person will attempt to bury them. They will just leave their bodies in the street and celebrate their death, sending gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented them greatly. How? Probably by pointing out all their sins against the Lord by reading them in the bible, also they were given power so perhaps they were moved to use it against people and shut up rain for a few months.

However, after the 3.5 days life reenters them and they stand on their feet and all that see this of course get scared as you can possibly be; and the two men heard a great voice from heaven saying come up here and they went up into heaven in a cloud and all their enemies watched in horror. These two witnesses were not singlely called to heaven; but this is collectively the first resurrection and a large group of people who have ever died righteously in Christ are being called up to meet the Lord in the air as Paul wrote. This is after the great tribulation!

We also had a great earthquake hit at that moment and many people who had been listening to the words of these two witnesses and when they saw all of this in Jerusalem, they gave glory to the God of Heaven. ¹⁴The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

¹⁵And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

¹⁹And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

The seventh trumpet sounds and there is a transfer of power and kingdoms, from man back to God. Here comes the Lord; and here is the Lord!

Revelation 12

¹And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

Something strange appeared in heaven where a women whose clothing was the sun, the moon was under her feet, and she wore a crown of twelve stars was giving birth to a child and she was in great pain of course. Then something else strange appeared in heaven, a great red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his seven heads, brought a third of the stars of heaven down to the earth with him. This dragon stood at the hospital room waiting for the woman to having this child so he can kill it as soon as He was born.

These are not in sequential order but they are separate events that have taken place. First the woman, who is she? She is not Eve; if you reread Genesis 37 you'll remember a dream that Joseph had how the sun and moon and eleven stars came to worship him. Joseph's dad, Jacob, replied that should he, the sun, Joseph's mother, the moon, and his eleven brothers, the stars (Joseph being the 12th) indeed come and worship Joseph? This gives us the understanding that the woman was the nation of Israel, she was the church.

Who is the red dragon? We probably can guess who; but let's just go back into our archives and really understand this. He had seven heads; Babylon (1), Medo-Persia (2), Greece (because it was divided into 4 after the death of Alexander the great it had four heads (4)), and Rome (5). One to one equals two, two plus four, equals six, and six plus one equals seven. We have our seven heads. Then horns; I won't list who these are here; but I'll say that they are 10 men and organizations that attempted to unit the Roman Empire down throughout the ages, even to our day. We had three that were plucked up by the roots then six who have attempted to resurrect Rome, the last being Benito Mussolini, and we have one after him who will succeed at it. Those are our 10 horns.

Who was thrown out of heaven? Satan, and he was able to persuade/convince a third of evil angels that are innumerable to come down to earth with him. There is no wonder that evil is on our minds continually; we have evil spirits saying, "check this out, get naked, dance, shake your booty, kill that person, you are the man, don't settle for less, rule, win, it's all about you, who cares he's hungry it's the survival of the fittest, let him die nurse, he's no good to society, lock him up, do anything but read the bible of the word of God."

So while on the earth this dragon, Satan, stood before the woman during the Roman rule disguised as Herod who attempted to kill the baby Jesus, he attempted to kill Him spiritually by tempting Him in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights but could not.

⁹And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Jesus was a Jew a man of Judah, so He came out of the woman who was the nation of Israel, and He was to rule all nations with great authority, authority that is called a rod of iron. The woman went to the wilderness for three and half years (1,260 days), where God prepared a place for her to dwell safely while the great tribulation is going on. This is where you want to go and not to sit on your roof waiting for the rapture. James said faith and works is good; faith by itself is dead. So the Lord tells us where to go; it's our works to get there.

There verse flip back and forth speaking of different events, one past and the other future because Michael the great angel in heaven warred against the dragon and his third of angels and threw them out. We have confirmed that the dragon, also known as, the old serpent (that was in the garden of Eden), the Devil, and Satan, was Satan with seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowds, dressed up in the Gentile dynasty.

¹²Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The angels in heaven were happy when Satan was thrown out because he caused them so much trouble; but the trouble has come to the earth now. And the devil knows he only has six days to work, a short time to deceive as many as he can to join him in the lake of fire. Satan never liked the idea of worshiping God's image, man, so he disobeyed and was thrown out of heaven. So if he was thrown out because of man, do you think he likes us? No; so he has made it we worship images and not the most High God and he has been at enmity with the woman since she was created.

¹⁷And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

When the great tribulation will begin, the church is to flee to the wilderness and the Lord will provide the transportation as He did in the days of the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt, and the church will be in the wilderness for three and half years away from the devil. The devil will chase her all the way there; but once you make it there you are safe. Since the dragon could not catch the woman, he went to war with her seed, these are people who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, but they did not understand prophecy. They did not believe the wilderness location and fleeing. They could not leave their earthly possessions, they'd seen too many preachers or cult leaders mislead their congregation to dead ends, they either didn't know about it or were not sure about it and did not get there.

They will be harshly pursued by Satan and his Gentile army for the next three and half years because he only has one hour left to deceive, deceive, deceive!

Revelation chapter 13

¹And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

²And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

John comes again with more revelations and he saw a beast rise out of the sea and it had 7 heads and 10 horns with 10 crowns with blasphemy against God written all in his heads. The beast was a combination of the animals that Daniel wrote about, the Gentile nations, leopard (Greece), bear (Medo), lion (Babylon), and the beast (Rome). These are Gentile nations; but they get their great power from dragon. This is where his seat is, where the Nicolatines preside.

⁹If any man have an ear, let him hear.

People worship Satan by worshiping this Gentile organization. Be unawares, worship Satan because they have not read this book or have not read it with understanding so they usually get all of Satan's doctrine dressed up in the name of Jesus. This organization fights against the saints for 42 months (3.5 years), as they speak against God blasphemies and if your name is not written in the book of life of the Lamb, you are going to worship Satan by way of worshiping the beast. If you can see this, you better understand it.

If you're not in the wilderness, anything goes for you: ¹⁰He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. You can be held captive, you can be tortured, you can be killed, but knowing this ahead of time is your patience and faith. You can withstand it because it will be over and you will be with the Lord.

¹¹And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

Now along with the first beast, which is a political ruler, another beast comes out that will be a spiritual ruler. It looked as peaceful as a lamb, but when it talked, it spoke like a dragon. It supports the first beast and to get you to really believe they are from God; they will do miracles and wonders like make fire come down from heaven on the earth right in front of your eyes. Wow right?!

This must be God right; who can do that right? He will have a statue image made of earth and stone and make it speak and give it life. We have life, we can walk and talk because we are animated objects. When you see a pile of earth and stones begin talking and moving about, that will certainly get you believing in this beast as God. But remember, an evil generation seeks a sign from God, but only one sign was given; everything else is to be read and proven.

If you do not worship this beast, you will be killed. As in the days of Nebuchadnezzar, if you didn't bow down to his statue, you'd be killed, the Gentile dynasty ending as it began, idol worship.

¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

This organization also will cause everyone to receive a mark either in their right hands or their foreheads. Now that you've read this, when a certain time of the year comes around (usually after Mardi Gras and before Easter) and people are prepping you for this mark, you have the knowledge now to back away from the table and as the rapper said, "set your cup down." Ask them to put what they put on you (if you've participated in this before) to put it on your left hand and behind your neck. See what happens.

During the great tribulation however, if you do not accept this mark; you will not be able to buy things, your business licenses will be vain because you cannot sell anything unless you have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. It's the number of a man; you can look him up on your own.

Revelation 14

¹And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. We will find out who these are as we continue reading.

³And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

⁴These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

⁵And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

The 144,000 sung a new song before the Lord and these 144,000 were redeemed from the earth, they were resurrected. They were not defiled with women as they were virgins. They follow Jesus wherever He goes; they are the first fruits to God and to Christ. Some people say these are actual men of God who were virgins, some say they were the male babies that were killed during the times of Moses and Jesus birth, while some say these are the top group of servants of God that have never mingled with other gods, but have solely worshiped the God of Israel, thus are virgins in the word of God. All of these can be true; I have a small problem with the first one because God said to be fruitful and multiply, so by people like me who are by no means a virgin, I think I've been slighted because it could have been written that if you are a virgin you will be redeemed by the Lord and go with Him wherever He goes. Regardless, I did not create the world, so even it is like that, I accept it.

Results & Consequences for Taking the Mark of the Best:

If you do it ignorantly or willingly; the results are the same.

⁸And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Not Babylon as in modern day Iraq, or Nebuchadnezzar; but Babylon the great, the entire Gentile dynasty from Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon to the fall of the anti-Christ and his minions.

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

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

¹¹And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

You will be thrown into the lake of fire forever if you take this mark, especially during the great tribulation; so you may be able to buy and sell and live good; but it will be only for 3.5 years then the Lord will return and punish you. You must ask yourself; is it worth it to die forever?

¹²Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. We're still keeping the commandments here in Revelations.

¹³And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

It is good to die in the Lord, their rest from their works and their good works will follow them. Dead, especially at this time of the creation, coming and inching closer and closer to great evil is a blessing. It a good thing if you die in Christ, and avoid having to go through the day of evil; it is a blessing.

²⁰And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

Lastly in the chapter, John saw a white cloud with what he figured was Jesus sitting on the cloud and an angel came out urging the Lord to thrust His sickle into the earth because it was ripe. This is showing the eagerness of the angels for God to recompense man on the earth for their sins; and at the last war, the Lord and the angels will thrust their sickles and reap the earth, the blood will pour out of men like wine; up to the horses bridles, and for a long as six football stadiums.

Revelation 15

¹And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

After the 7th trumpet, the Lord has seven last plagues to give the earth, with central concentration on Jerusalem.

⁷And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

⁸And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

Now the four beast handed the seven angels seven golden vials full of wrath from the Lord and the temple was filled with smoke because of the Lord and His power and no man was able to enter into the temple, until the seven plagues were done. This has to take place on earth because it said no man was able to enter the temple. No man is in heaven, and no man lives in the clouds. This is taking place after the big war, after the time in the wilderness and as the Lord is back in Jerusalem in the Temple.

Revelation 16

¹And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

The angels went there way and began pouring their buckets of wrath. The first resulted in men who had the mark of the beast were given noisome and grievous sore on them, the second poisoned the sea, the third turned the waters of rivers to blood; and the angels said the Lord is justified for doing what He is doing because He warned everyone about this because we're reading it now. Plus, these people killed saints, prophets, and now they are drinking their own blood.

The fourth angel poured and the sun became even more blazing hot, heating up the earth and man so much that men blasphemed the name of God in their frustration and did not repent. The fifth darkened the kingdom and were in much pain of it; the sixth dried up the Euphrates river allowing an army to easily cross by and enter into Jerusalem and John saw Satan influence the beast and the false prophet to gather in Jerusalem for a great battle against Jesus Christ.

They gathered all the armies of man in Armageddon and the seventh vial was poured and a voice came out and said, "It is done!" I feel like ending our readings here; but we can't end on scary stuff like that. There were thunders, lightnings and a great earthquake so bad no Richter scale could measure this. It divided Jerusalem into three parts; like the Lord was saying "here you people that fight over Jerusalem you all can have it, Muslims, Jewish, and Christians, I've divided it for you now."

Now think back to Exodus chapter 19 when the Lord came on the mountain with the children of Israel in presence. There were lightings and thunders, exceedingly. Also think back to when the two witnesses were called up to heaven; there was a great earthquake after the rose. These are events that are happening at the same time and it shows the Lord is back because He is coming in strength, which includes lightings, thunders, and earthquakes.

We are to be ready before He comes like a thief in the night and we are naked because we did not know the signs that the Lord was on His way. Do as Jesus said, we have to watch and pray.

Revelation 17

¹And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

²With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Here is the judgment of the great whore, the false religion that presides over many people (the waters). The kings and governments of the earth have committed fornication with. Every time a king or President visits this country they have to go over and pay homage to this great whore and because of this the people of the earth are made drunk with their doctrine and laws. Remember what ruined the children of Israel; bad spiritual leaders, i.e., priest, preachers, pastors, and political leaders, their kings. The same thing is going to run the earth, bad political leaders and a host of bad prophets.

The woman, this organization is rich, decked in gold and precious stones and pearls, drinking out of glasses of gold; but inside the cup there are nothing but abominations. It like viewing the most dazzling beautifullest woman on the earth; what you don't know is that she has ever STD on record, she has HIV, Hepatitis, and on top of all these disasters, she had the breath of a skunk that just sprayed before it died. If the woman just sat there and smiled, you'll be dazzled; but the moment she says hi, you'll flee and ask who she is; and you would find out she has all the deadly diseases that had you committed fornication with her you would have contracted them as well. And I do mean for this example to be as graphic as possible because this is what it is comparable to.

⁵And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Her name is mystery, in all caps, Babylon the Great (in all caps), the Mother of harlots and the abominations of the earth (all in caps). If she is the 'Mother' she has children. This organization is not hiding, they have publicly made it clear they do not go along with all that is written in the bible, they acknowledge themselves as the Mother Church. On your own look up organizations that call themselves the "Mother Church" when it comes to Christianity.

John was carried away looking at her beauty, her richness, "oh look how beautiful the church is, look at all the pretty statues and images of God, look at the soft nice singing, don't forget the nice dazzling robes of the leaders, it's all so very beautiful and holy." This is why I make a point that whatever the world loves and deems beautiful, I am sure to hate and prove it's beauty. I recommend you do the same. Do not let television tell you this is "America's Next Top Model," or you should go to this much levels of school to be recognized, or what ever it is that everyone is doing. I always tended to stay in the back of massive trends just in case the monster woke up; then as we run away from the monster, all of the sudden I'm in the front of the line. By the time he eats up 97% of the people in the front, the 3% in the back are riding safe because the monster is already full.

⁹And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

Here we have a lot of information. The seven heads are the seven mountains where the woman, the great whore, sits. Here is a good homework assignment, go look up the nation that geographically sits on seven hills or seven mountains and you would have found the great whore, the Mother of all harlots, and Babylon the great.

¹⁰And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

¹¹And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

I mentioned earlier that we know the 10 kings that attempted to reset the Roman Empire, and how we are down to the last one, Benito Mussolini being the last. There are men who say John is saying five have already fallen as he wrote this and that one is, and one is to come. They give examples of Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, have fallen, Rome is (at the time of John's writing), so two more were to come. You can try to hold some light to this but it is incorrect because good luck in finding the two who are to come.

John is giving prophecy, and just as Daniel named all the kingdoms that to come, yet he himself only wrote that during Babylon's kingdom with Nebuchadnezzar, the Lord is giving the information and knows what lies ahead, thus it is how the prophets get the information. Daniel did not understand many of the things he wrote because the understanding would come to the generation in which it is for. The same principle applies to verse 10 and all of the book of Revelation. By the time people will come to understanding of this scripture, five would have been fallen, one would have been with one more to come. Imagine the generation that reads this while the last one is; will they be thrown off because of the time they are reading this? If they do not have understanding, yes!

When the last ruler comes into the power, he is going to have a co-ruler who is the eighth; but he's of the seven. So there is only seven, with two men being the seventh; but there is not eight.

¹²And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

These are ten Gentile nations with other nations under them that will join in with the beast and go along with the doctrine and have power one hour with the beast. One hour, the hour of temptation, the great tribulation and they will all give their power to the beast; for one hour, they all have the same mindset. And the beast will convince them to go to war against the Jesus, they must describe Jesus as an alien invasion for them to believe that. I can't imagine them saying, "well now the Lord is back, He is God, He can't die, He doesn't get hurt, and He may have some stuff up His Holy sleeve that man has never seen before, but I think we can beat Him."

That is not even the conversation they are having. The conversation will go more like this, "the earth is being invaded by aliens that appear to be from Pluto, we've held this information from the public so that there is no panic, and we've had it for the last 40 years studying these aliens. They are destructible and we must defend our earth." If you are in any military at this time and you see them urging to fight aliens; I suggest you lay down and pretend to be dead or badly injured so you are relieved of your duties because it is certain the Lord will kill everyone that shows up to this battle.

¹⁴These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

After that war, the nations will hate the whore, the mother church and will burn her down to the ground and God has put it in their minds to do this. Verse 15 and verse 18 explain what certain symbols and scriptures mean.

Revelation 18

¹And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

²And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

An angel came and announced that Babylon the great has fallen, the habitation of devils is what it has become. The angel tells the people who want to be with the Lord to come out of this organization, and not only them; but the daughter organizations she has had over the years. Come out and don't be a part of their sins. She is going to get double the punishment for her sins because she lived so well and rich.

⁷How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Merchants who made a lot of money selling to this organization, selling crosses, and many other things will feel it, not only in their purses and wallets, but in their soul will hurt as well.

¹⁷For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

¹⁹And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

²⁰Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. I will rejoice if it a commandment because we aren't to rejoice at the fall of our enemies; but this is a big enemy and the Lord finally avenged His prophets, apostle's, and saints.

²⁴And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

In one hour the Lord took her down and when you go by the rubble of their monuments; you'll see the blood of prophets and saints that they killed in efforts to stomp the truth off of the earth.

This will conclude our reading for the today. We will finish the bible tomorrow. Praise the Lord.

Day 76 of Reading the Bible in 90 Days

Welcome to day 76 of bible food daily, reading the bible in 90 days with understanding. Today is the Sabbath day so a joyful Sabbath day to you.

Let's dive right into our reading today.

This chapter, John chapter six, begins with the passover drawing near and the Lord feeding five thousand plus people with just a few pieces of bread and fish. The miracle marveled the people and the followers so much that Jesus perceived they would take Him and force Him to be King over them; so He withdrew into the mountains (v1-15).

People began to follow Jesus and look for Him just so they can be fed more food; but Jesus warned them to follow Him for the bread of life that endures forever. This is what we need to be following Jesus for; not to get a blessing of money to live good in this life; that would be nice as a bonus, but we really want to live eternally with Him.

³⁵And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

When I was a boy and my dad read this to me; I would beg him to buy this bread at the store. Not knowing as a child he was giving me the bread everyday we read the bible.

Let's pay attention to some of what Jesus says here as He speaks and weeds out fake followers:

³⁸For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

³⁹And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

Even if the Old Testament God was the Father, the one that many people call the mean God, who did the eye for and eye, and killed people for what seemed like small things; Jesus still came and was sent by the Father to do the Father's will.

One of the things that is the Father's will is that Jesus will lose nothing and no one; but raise all people up on the last day! Tomorrow will be here so it is not the last day. And it did not say the last day of your life. It says the last day. The last day for man is the 7th day; that is when all people will be raised from the dead and judged. So coinciding with our Old Testament readings, we gain understanding from Jesus that the dead love ones we have lost are still resting in the ground until the last day.

⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Again this is mentioned by Jesus. Now if you believe that your love one was smiling down on you; you would have slowly departed from Jesus at this speech because He would have been too offensive with His truth.

People were confused how Jesus would say He came down from Heaven when they saw Him born to Mary and Joseph. ⁴⁴No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Still Jesus continues to make His point about raising the dead on the last day into eternal life.

⁵¹I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews were confused; how are we going to eat this man?

⁵³Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
⁵⁴Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.


Again the last day is brought up; but He also told the Jews to drink His blood. This is freaky now. Is Jesus talking about His actual body or some bread and blood He will provide for you from a store? Jesus knew He had to make this plain if His own disciples were confused at it and offended.


⁶³It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


The spirit makes alive, the flesh is nothing; you cannot eat the actual Jesus and live, the words that He speaks, they are spirit and they are life. Eat Jesus words and live; and His words begin in Genesis, where we began this journey.


⁶⁶From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
⁶⁸Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
⁶⁹And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.


Many left; but the twelve stayed and Peter voiced that we know and are sure you are the Messiah, the son of the living God. Jesus has the words of eternal life. Every day we read them and do them; we bring ourselves closer to living eternally. This is the healthiest bread on the planet.

John 7

¹After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
²Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.


Jesus prepares to go to the feast of Tabernacles. He had to be discreet about it because He knew the Jews in Jerusalem wanted to kill Him. Jesus own brothers did not believe Him that He was the Messiah, so they tempted Him to go on down to Jerusalem and show His great works.


⁵For neither did his brethren believe in him.
⁶Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.


Quite naturally this is why Christianity is accepted today and we know that it is watered down is because Christ-like people are suppose to show the world they are acting evil. However, much is condoned by Christians. That would be fine if Christians said you can do that all you want; but you will not do that in the Church. No. They allow wickedness to take place in the church for the sake of money and acceptance. Certain things Christians should be calling people out on; but they don't so they are not hated. Jesus called people out on their behavior, thus He was hated.


Jesus left for the feast of Tabernacles, which takes place usually around September or October on the Roman calendar, He left after His brothers left and went secretly. And the Jews were all looking for Him and waiting on Him to kill Him.


People were 50/50 on Jesus, some thought He was deceiving, some thought He was a true prophet. The people who thought good of Him did not speak openly for fear of the Jews. The Pharisees would kick them out the church and more probably so no one openly spoke positive of Jesus.


¹⁴Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
¹⁵And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
¹⁶Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.


Jesus was a bold man; knowing the Jews are looking to kill Him, He went right into the temple and started to teach. People were amazed because Jesus had no formal education. In today's world people will not hold respect for a man who is not educated and wants to teach the bible or be pastor. However, they'd listen to a millionaire who dropped out of school teach them how to make money. Jesus was not educated in man's education; He was educated by the Father. That is all that counts. And His doctrine wasn't His; but was the Father's who sent Him.


²⁵Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
²⁶But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?


Where are those people who said they were going to kill Jesus; yet He is up there boldly speaking. This made some people believe that He is the Messiah.
The feast of Tabernacles goes for seven days then on the Eight day there is a big great feast (Leviticus 23). ³⁷In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

³⁸He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jesus makes another plea to the people because this is the last time Israel will see Him collectively. The next feast will be the passover and unleavened bread and the passover He will be killed. So He is making a last plea for the people to listen to His words.


⁴⁰Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
⁴¹Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
⁴²Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
⁴³So there was a division among the people because of him.


Many were convinced He was a prophet from God, others said He is the Messiah; but they were hung up on the fact that He came from Galilee because the scripture said He'd come from Bethlehem as we read. They were divided on this. We know that He came from Bethlehem but because His father Joseph feared Herod, He moved the family up to Nazareth in Galilee. Nonetheless, Jesus was and is from Bethlehem.


The officers of the Pharisees who were suppose to take Jesus couldn't do it because they were caught up in what He was teaching.


⁴⁶The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
And the high priest and high officials reemphasized that no prophet or Messiah comes out of Galilee in the scriptures, go look it up.


⁵²They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. They said this because Nicodemus was convinced that Jesus was from God, although Nicodemus was a Pharisee.

John 8

¹Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
²And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
³And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,


The unrighteousness of the Pharisees tried to catch Jesus reaction to a woman caught committing adultery. They only brought a woman; but not the man. I always thought it took two to tangle. Jesus dropped the bomb on them telling the person without sin throw the first stone. By the time Jesus looked up, everyone was gone except the woman. And He forgave her and told her to sin no more.


Jesus Validates Himself:

³¹Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.


Many quote verse 32 leaving out verse 31. You have to continue in the Word of the Lord, then you are His followers and you will know the truth, which will make you free.


Abraham's Seed:

³³They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? They were in bondage in Egypt, to the Assyrians, the Philistines, the Babylonians, the Medes, the Persians, the Greeks, and were currently under the Romans. This is what being brain dead is all about. But Jesus said your biggest bondage is to sin.


³⁸I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. Jesus acknowledge they were from Abraham physically, but spiritually they had different Father's.


⁴⁰But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
⁴¹Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus is about to get real harsh with them; but they needed it. Some people need a good slap in the face; it might just wake them up or wake someone who watched them get slapped.


⁴⁴Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
⁴⁵And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.


Jesus simply tells them; they are of the devil because they believe lies. You know when you've been lied to over and over again, the lie appears to be truth insomuch that when the truth shows up, it looks like a flat out lie. Things had gotten to that point with the Pharisees, and have certainly got there with our generation. Going to heaven has been taught so much; that if you actually go tell people there is no going to heaven, the Lord is coming down here, they will laugh at you and walk away. Try it a few times just for kicks.


⁴⁷He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. We all need to do a self check.
⁵⁸Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
⁵⁹Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


And we should take up stones to stone Him too; because either He blasphemed or Jesus is the God of the Old Testament. He was here, as John chapter 1 said, the Word was with God and it was also God. Jesus just told them before Abraham was, He was and used the very name the Lord sent Moses to tell the people His name was. So when Jesus said no one has ever seen the Father nor heard His voice, what He is saying to us is that the GOD that the children of Israel saw, was Him.


It was Jesus the Christ. His name was Jehovah or Yahweh and when He came in the flesh, He came in His Father's name, Jesus. Pretty simple to understand. It's basic mathematics; if you've never seen one guy, and there is only two and you've seen one them, then it is the other. Let me try that again. If Mark and Dave exist and you've seen one of them, but you've never seen Dave, then who have you seen? Riddle me this, riddle me that!
We've never seen the Father, we have only seen the son, Jesus, Jesus is the God we have been reading about throughout the bible.


John Chapter 9

Jesus heals a man that was born blind and the Pharisees give the man and his family a tough time trying to verify that he was blind from birth in order to discredit Jesus as a healer. It's a very funny story as it is read. The blind man makes a very valid point to the Pharisees that we should take not on.


³¹Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
³²Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
³³If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.


The Lord does not hear the prayer of sinners and does not help people who consciously sin against Him.

John 10

¹Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
²But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
This chapter is about Jesus being the Good Shepherd and how His flock know Him.


⁹I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Jesus is the door into the kingdom of God. If you attempt to go straight to the Father you will not get in. One must go through Jesus Christ.


¹¹I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
¹⁴I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
¹⁶And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

The other sheep are the rest of the nations who want to serve the Lord. The current sheep of the Lord Is the nation of Israel; but He has more that are not of Israel's fold that He must bring.


¹⁸No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. No one forced Jesus to die, no one forcefully killed Him. He allowed it and did it on His own will.


³⁰I and my Father are one. That is one of the same. We are both on the same page and we both want the same things.
The Jews wanted to stone Jesus for this saying; but He replied with an even bigger saying:


³⁴Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Is it not written in the Psalms we read earlier during this period of reading the Word, that GOD said we are gods? Jesus told them isn't it written in the law, I said you are gods? Jesus took clean credit for saying this didn't He?
Jesus said if the scriptures cannot be broken why are you mad that I said I am God?


⁴¹And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
⁴²And many believed on him there. John was revered as a prophet and he did not do any miracles; but everything he said Jesus would do; Jesus has done. So many believe on that faith.

John 11

¹Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.


Jesus is preparing to do a wonderful miracle in raising Lazarus from the dead. Some important statements are made we should pay close attention towards. Jesus knew He was going to perform a great miracle; usually when He revived someone from death, it was moments after they died, or hours, with Lazarus He is really going to show the power of God.


⁴When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby
⁶When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. When He heard Lazarus was ill; He didn't leave immediately but waited because He was going to show the glory of God the Father to let people know that He is the Son of God sent by the Father.


¹¹These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.


We have to realize that to the Lord when someone dies; it is nothing but sleep to them. At the resurrection they will wake up like it was a short nap. It is death; but they are not gone forever as if they were thrown in the lake of fire. They are only sleeping.


The disciples did not know what that meant so Jesus told them plainly that Lazarus is dead and by the time the got to Lazarus, they found he was dead for four days already in the tomb.


Martha heard Jesus coming and went to speak with Him and said:
²¹Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
²²But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.


She knew that Jesus can ask the Father and still deliver Lazarus. She had great faith in the Lord.


²³Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
²⁴Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.


Martha said she knows that she will see her brother again at the resurrection at the last day! It is the last day we are looking for.


³⁵Jesus wept.
⁴²And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.


Jesus did this so that the people will believe that Jesus was sent by the Father and did not show up on His own doing His own things.


⁴⁵Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
⁴⁶But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.


The Pharisees were told this and they met to see what they could do about Jesus. Jesus is performing great works and they are worried about their job in the church and their nation under the Romans. This is what you call sincerely evil practice and we have the same things going on today.


⁴⁹And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
⁵⁰Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
⁵¹And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
⁵²And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
⁵³Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.


Here the high priest Caiaphus let's us know that He knew Jesus was the Messiah and wickedly plotted to have Him killed in an evil manner. When one has been doing something wrong, it becomes hard to turn over and do the thing correct even in the face of all truth. Someone telling a lie over and over, even when they are given the facts, it is too difficult to lay down and come clean.


This is what the Pharisees had come across; they had being conducting the house of the Lord incorrect and when Jesus showed up they figured He'd give the work of God to His followers, even if they took correction. So they continue to deny the Messiah and lie that Jesus is not the Christ.


Before they said that no prophet comes out of Galilee; but now they are plotting to have Jesus die, as prophesied, for the nation and the whole world. And this they used as their reason behind killing Him. Instead of catching Him and saying He blaspheme God, they should have said, He is the Messiah that must die for the sins of the nation and world; then have Him killed.

John 12

¹Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
²There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.


This shows us that Lazarus was back to his normal self, eating and talking, he wasn't risen from the dead to be bed ridden.


¹⁰But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
¹¹Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
¹²On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
¹³Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.


Jesus did this miracle shortly before His entry into the city at the passover feast this is why so many were shouting "hosanna" meaning saved now, and calling Him King of Israel, because they were convinced He was the Messiah, and the Messiah comes in the name of the Lord and is the King of Israel.


¹⁸For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.


This obviously angered the Pharisees. It is like having a huge church today, such as Joel Osteen, and Jesus coming and sweeping all your followers away. Instead of the Pharisees bowing out as John the baptist had done, the get jealous and content against the Almighty God.


The Pharisees even saw that the Gentiles were excited to see Jesus as some Greeks came up and asked to see Him. Jesus know the game was over now; He will be glorified.


²³And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
²⁵He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.


I use to find myself saying this and still do that I hate this life because nothing last including the people. We lose loved ones, there is evil every where, people are hungry, people are dying, people are crying, and a good percentage have billions of dollars, yet they harvest it in bank accounts. They have enough to pay France 10 times over, they could feed the entire continent of Africa and South America; instead they do nothing. Who could love this life, this world?


Jesus praying to the Father

²⁷Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
²⁸Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
²⁹The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
³⁰Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.


Jesus did not want to die, but He knew this is why He even took on this mission. This mission included Him dying. Do you notice it never says the Father spoke back to Him; but it always says "a voice?" It is because the angels do the talking for God to men.


Wanting the Praise of Men Rather Than God

⁴²Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
⁴³For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.


Loving your job or position is to love this life and you will lose it as the Lord said.


⁴⁸He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

John 13

¹Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.


Jesus loved His followers all the way to the end; even though they deserted Him in Gethsemane, at the passover, He washed their feet and showed them how to serve each other. As Peter said, wash my whole body Lord if that is what it takes to be with you.


Being Humble and Serving

¹³Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. ¹⁷If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.


A New Commandment

³⁴A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.


It's new but it's old. How do you love one another? By honoring your parents, not stealing from one another, killing, lying, coveting, committing adultery with another's spouse. This is the best love you can show anyone.


Even if it is a new commandment; it does not replace the old, as Jesus said, I came to fulfill, not destroy the law. The new commandment would just be the 11th one if you want to view it like that.

John 14

¹Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
²In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.


Jesus knows His disciples are becoming sadden that He is preparing to leave; so He comforts them. He is going to build a house with many mansions and will come again to receive us to Himself, so that where He is, we will be with Him also. We already know through scripture that Jesus will be on the earth in Jerusalem.


Jesus tells them that as they have seen Him; they have seen the Father. He is not saying He is the Father; but saying He looks just as the Father looks.


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


He is the way, the truth, and the life. Trying to get eternal life through any other facets will not work; only through Jesus who is the way, the truth, and the life.


Pray in the Name of Jesus

¹³And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
¹⁴If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
¹⁵If ye love me, keep my commandments.
¹⁶And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;


When you pray, pray to the Father in the name of Jesus and He will do it. He also says, if you love Him, keep His commandments, then He will pray to the Father to give you the Comforter to abide with you. These are little tidbits that people overlook and do not do. In prayer, many pray to mother Mary, who is dead. Then some pray and they do not know who they are praying to. Then others do not close the prayer in the name of Jesus, this leaves your prayer incomplete.


²¹He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


You must have His commandments and keep them in order to say that you love the Lord!


The Comforter is the Holy Ghost

²⁶But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


I hear a phrase amongst black churches in the Americas that church was so exciting that the nearly, "caught the Holy Ghost." They nearly caught the Comforter? The Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit comes in many forms. In this case the Comforter is an Holy Angel (He makes His angels spirits) that will comfort you with the Words of God in the name of Jesus or will guide you as you read the bible so you have understanding and are comforted.


³⁰Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.


People often wonder why they do not see visions from God or Jesus does not appear and speak with us. This tells us why, God does not surround Himself with evil, unless He kills it. This is why He left the children of Israel because He would either kill them or kill them; so He left. So since true followers of Jesus are among the prince of this world, Jesus communes with us through the Comforter and does not speak much with us.

John 15

¹I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
²Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
³Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.


This is heavy mental, that Jesus is the true vine and the Father is the husbandman. Remember all the parables and Old Testament examples of the vineyard. Every branch that does not bare fruit is taken away and burned in fire (v6). Those that bare fruit, the Lord makes it to bring more fruit. Jesus cleans us with the water, which is His Word. We use to lie and steal and commit adultery and fornication; but we were should in Exodus thou shall not; and we have been cleaned of doing that and even thinking about doing those things.


⁸Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
⁹As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
¹⁰If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.


Bearing fruit is through our behavior one; but more importantly is through sharing the Good Word of God to others. Then we will be able to continue in the love of God by keeping His commandments as Jesus kept the Father's commandments.


²³He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
²⁴If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
²⁵But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.


Also we remember in Psalm chapter two verse two that shows they have taken council against the Lord and His Anointed, all of this has been foretold.
This completes our reading for today. I surely hope Jesus has helped you learn something new today with clarity and understanding and that His words will fill your heart today. See you tomorrow, peace and blessings.
