The miracles of Jesus

The miracles of Jesus were witness to His deity and messiahship. Such miracles are the major signs recorded by John in this scripture, so as to fulfill His purpose (in chapter 20:30-31).

In John 14:11 we read “Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works sake."

Just look at the works. No man before or since, has ever done the miracles that Jesus did.

John 21:25 says “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

The meaning, of course, is what we see (in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17),

"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope." "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep." "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

We must enter into the Sabbath of rest with God. That is actually what we do when we turn our lives over to Him and let Him be Lord. We can rest from the worry and trials of this world while still occupying until He comes. This will certainly stir up these Jews.

Jesus’ point is that whether He broke the Sabbath or not, God was working continuously, and since Jesus Himself worked continuously, He also must be God. Furthermore, God does not need a day of rest for He never wearies (Isaiah 40:28). For Jesus’ self defense to be valid, the same factors that apply to God must also apply to Him.

Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8). Interestingly, even the rabbis admitted that God’s work had not ceased after the Sabbath because He sustains the universe.

They are all omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. They are equal in power, holiness, and love.

John 4:26 “Jesus saith unto her,

I that speak unto thee am he."

In Christ there is no male or female

(Galatians 3:28).

“Not my will but thine, O Lord"

THIS IS JEWISH TIME IN THE BIBLE

THIS IS JEWISH/Hebrew TIME IN THE BIBLE - The Jewish Day starts at about Evening of one day (6pm), to the evening of the next day.

Third hour--6am-9am

Sixth hour--9am-12pm

Ninth hour--12pm-3pm

Twelfth hour--3pm-6pm

First Watch--6pm-9pm

Second Watch--9pm-12am

Third Watch--12am-3am

Fourth Watch--3am-6am

The Roman times of day, are just as English Time, the Third Hour would be literally the Third Hour, from 12am (3am). In Roman time, the day starts at 12am. By the time of the wars against Pyrrhus some slight progress had been made by dividing the two halves of the day into two parts: into the early morning and forenoon on one hand; and afternoon and evening on the other.

How names get around the world

Funny how words and or names 

get around the world isn’t it?

Shechem:

The Holy Cities of Israel

(Samaria).

Very few locales have as rich a history as

this four-thousand year old city.

Learn more about Shechem.

Shechem, Israel

And 

The New England Traditionalist Tribes Leader 

(the travelers from the Great Lakes area form the ‘Land Bridge from Russia').

Shechaim is the native name of leader’s in 'Eastern Woodlands people

5,427 miles from Shechem’?

John 4:5

“Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph."

This and the next verse refer back to (Genesis 48:22), where Jacob bequeathed a section of land to Joseph which he had purchased from the “sons of Hamor”.

When the Jews returned from Egypt, they buried Joseph’s bones in that land at Shechem.

This area became the inheritance of Joseph’s descendants.

(Genesis 33:19) and (Genesis 48:22)

Abraham built an altar to God was at Shechem (Gen. 12:6-7),

Israelites had shouted the blessings promised by God before they entered the Promised Land.

Jehovah Savior

Jesus Christ is Jehovah Savior

John 3:5

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."

Jesus wasn’t referring to literal water here but to the need for “cleansing”.

Ezekiel 36:24-27 tells us: "For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land." "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you." "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].

The argument of baptism could go on for ages. What has to be done which way. I truly believe it is important to be baptized in water as an outward show to the world that we are buried with Christ and rise again with Him to new life.

If there has not been a baptism of our heart changing us from an old flesh creature to a brand new Spirit being, we can be outwardly baptized forever and it will not mean anything. The transformation takes place in our heart. The issues of life, good or bad, come from the heart.

We must have God's Spirit within us to live in newness of life. Verse six tells it all.

John 3:6

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh;

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

Son of man is a messianic title. See (Daniel 7:13), for the Old Testament source.

Discover Books of The Bible

This web site explains 

Various Books of The Bible,

 by Explaining Each Individual Scripture.

Over the years I have been asked if I had any other books of the bible that are explained like the one for the book of Revelation which took a year to complete. 

(www.discoverrevelation.com) 

Then the answer was no, but I felt the Holy Spirit leading me to continue helping people to have a better understanding of the meaning of scripture. 

So I began doing a scripture by scripture explanation on additional books which has been added to this site. As of October of 2018, all sixty six books of the bible were finished.

Much time has been devoted to the gathering of the enclosed information. 

I am but a simple lay person with a deep desire to educate those who are honestly seeking the truth. 

I do this to be faithful to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ as He told us in Matthew 28 verse 19 to go out and teach all nations (In case you don't already know, the nations mean the people - everyone). 

He is telling us that we are to proclaim His gospel to not only our friends and neighbors, but also to those throughout the entire world. What greater a place to do that than on the world wide web that can be seen and read by people virtually everywhere in the world.

Those seeking the truth will find God's written Word, the Bible, to be the final authority, in all that they seek. With the exception of salvation issues, Christians should be able to discuss those differences without fighting over their meanings. 

But when it comes to salvation issues, there should be NO differences of opinion.

Please pass this web site address to a friend, relative, or acquaintance to whom you think may be interested.

study and learn His Word.

“This Is Jesus Of Nazareth, The King Of The Jews.”

In my humble opinion, 

for what it is worth 

all four books have it wrong.

It should read

“This Is Jesus Of Nazareth, The Son Of God and The King Of The Universe”!

Luke 23:37 "And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself."

They had no idea of the whole purpose of the crucifixion. The sad thing is that Jesus was dying for their sins, too.

Luke 23:38 "And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew,
 THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

“A superscription”: All 4 gospel writers mentioned the inscription, but each reported a slightly different variation. Both Luke and John (19:20), said that the inscription was translated on the placard itself. It is ever more likely that all 4 evangelists simply reported the substance of the inscription elliptically, with each one omitting different parts of the full inscription.

All 4 concur with Mark that the inscription said The King of Jews (Matt. 27:37; John 19:19). Luke added “this is” at the beginning, and Matthew started with “This is Jesus”. John’s version began “Jesus Of Nazareth” Putting them all together, the full inscription would read “This Is Jesus Of Nazareth, The King Of The Jews.”

The Jews had tried to get Pilate to change this to say that He said He was the King of the Jews. Pilate would not do it. He was the King of the Jews.

Luke 23:39 "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us."

“One of the malefactors”: (Matthew 27:44 and Mark 15:32), report that both criminals were mocking Christ along with the crowd. As the hours wore on, however, this criminal’s conscience was smitten and he repented. When the impenitent thief resumed his mocking (verse 39), this thief rebuked him and refused to participate again.

Luke 23:40 "But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?"

The one thief on the right became very different. First, he began to fear God which is the beginning of wisdom. He had faith that Jesus was sinless, as well. This thief said he deserved punishment, and we will see the Lord forgives him.

Luke 23:41 "And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss."

“This man hath done nothing amiss”: Even the thief hanging to the right of Jesus began to testify of Jesus’ innocence.

These two men, the one on the left and the other on the right, had very little in common, except that they were both guilty of committing a crime. The one on the left, I believe, fussed at Jesus and said, "if you are Christ, save us". You see, he had no faith at all. He would die in his sin.

Luke 23:42 "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."

“Jesus, Lord, remember me”: The penitent thief’s prayer reflected his belief that the soul lives on after death; that Christ had a right to rule over a kingdom of the souls of men, and that He would soon enter that kingdom despite His impending death.

His request to be remembered was a plea for mercy, which also reveals that the thief understood he had no hope but divine grace, and that the dispensing of that grace lay in Jesus’ power. All of this demonstrates true faith on the part of the dying thief, and Christ graciously affirmed the man’s salvation (verse 43).

He makes Jesus Savior and Lord in this one statement. (In Romans 10:9), we see that we must believe in our heart and confess with our mouth, and he has done both here.

Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."

“Paradise”: The only other places this word is used in the New Testament are (2 Cor. 12:4 and Rev. 2:7). The word suggests a garden (it is the word used of Eden in the LXX), but in all 3 New Testament uses it speaks of heaven.

We read (in Revelation 2:7), about the paradise of God. This is heaven. Jesus' Spirit and man's spirit will be in heaven that day. Jesus will dismiss His Spirit from His body on the cross and command it to go to the Father. Then He goes to hell, preaches, and brings back captivity captive.

Luke 23:44 "And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour."

Luke 23:46 "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

“Into thy hands”: This quotes (Psalm 31:5), and the manner of His death accords with (John 10:18). Normally victims of crucifixion died much slower deaths. He, being in control, simply yielded up His soul (John 10:18; 19:30), committing it to God. Thus, He “offered” Himself without blemish to God” (Heb. 9:14).

Notice, He did not say I commend my body. This is where Jesus sent His Spirit to God. His body goes to the tomb, not His Spirit. 

The third day after He had preached in hell. 

His Spirit rejoins His body and comes out of the tomb.

"why yes lord, I am following you”

“Jesus the Messiah.” (Meshach, Christos), 

is a Christian, the only true Christian.

The rest of us are wannabe Christians if we follow our leader, “Jesus the Messiah,” every day.

I am no judge, there is but one judge “Jesus the Messiah.” (Meshach, Christos).

So, 

as a 

(retired spiritual teacher of my Native American people), 

I throw out this question,

How can we do the things that we humans do daily, 

@VP included, 

and

 kneel to our Creator and say, 

"why yes lord, I am following you”?

Psalm 95:6

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

https://www.bible-studys.org/index.html

There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1-But mark this:

There will be terrible times in the last days.

2-People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3-without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4-treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-

5-having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

So

Do we know of any public official that might fit this prophecy?

Luke 12:51 "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:"

“I tell you, Nay”: Though the ultimate end of the gospel is peace with God (John 14:17; Rom. 8:6), the immediate result of the gospel is frequently conflict. Conversion to Christ can result in strained family relationships (Matthew 10:35-36), persecution, and even martyrdom.

Following Christ presupposes a willingness to endure such hardships (Matt. 10:32-33, 37-39). Though He is called “Prince of Peace” (Isa. 9:6), Christ will have no one deluded into thinking that He calls believers to a life devoid of all conflict.

Luke 12:52 "For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three."

Those who accept Jesus as their Savior sometimes are suddenly alienated from their families. This is what is meant by 3 against 2 in one family. There are only two sides to this war that Jesus is talking about here: the flesh and the Spirit.

Another way to draw the line between the two sides is God (spirit), and flesh (man). We read also, that many times your enemies are those of your own household.

Matthew 10:36 "And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household."
