“when ye received the word of God”

“Thy word is truth.”  John 17:17:. Can men sanctify other men? Can God sanctify men? Who is speaking in Verse 17? Where do we find who is speaking in Verse 17? Does Verse 1 of chapter 17 begin “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father the hour is come;”?  Is Jesus praying to “our Father”? (Verse 17). Is Jesus asking our Father to sanctify us through His truth? How can we be sure that Jesus prayed for us, as well as the Apostles and disciples who believed on Him? Verse 2. Does Jesus, in Verse 2, refer to himself in this prayer in the 3rd person, in his role as “the Son”? 

The Fifth Monarchists and Sabbatai Zevi

Sermon Text:  Daniel 2:35

The dream that Daniel dreamt are prophecies about coming kingdoms that wouldn’t come true until many years into the future from the time of the dream. The first four kingdoms are not hard to identify, but the fifth kingdom, some say six or more – has been more difficult to give an accurate description without the interpretation by the Holy Spirit. This sermon is about one of these times in recent history that the misidentification of what the Stone Kingdom meant and its timing of when it was to appear, caused much confusion and was disastrous and is still disastrous to Christendom.

At one time, Christendom had no interest on anything in their nations. Now, we have interest, even compound interest, on many loans.  Do you want to have liberty? Listen to this sermon.

God Save the King

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Timothy 2:1-4

We are still in the series I have called the Kingship of the Anointed. Psalm 20 and 21 fit together like hand and glove. Psalm 20 is a royal liturgy, a prayer sung by different voices (congregation and/or choir) in the Temple worship service. This usually takes place as the king prepares for battle. After the battle is over, the king will give a thank offering at the Temple. It is at this time that Psalm 21 may accompany the king’s offering.

The context of Psalm 20 is that the king has already prayed, and sacrifices are being offered by the priests on his behalf (1 Sam. 7:9).

Scripture Reading:  Luke 1:5

There are members of the Baptist Church today who claim that John the Baptist was the first member of the Baptist Church, but it is nothing but a joke. John the Baptist was a Levite. His mother, Elizabeth, was the daughter of the descendants of Aaron, who was the grandson of Kohath, the son of Levi, and his father was the 8th course of the Priests, a descendant of Merari, who was the son of Levi. See chart on next page.

John the Baptist baptized Jesus when the Son of God was thirty years old in the Jordan River after He came from Galilee. Immediately after Jesus was baptized, a miracle took place: The heavens opened, the Holy Spirit descended like a dove, and a voice from heaven, the voice of God the Father, proclaimed Jesus as His Son. Jesus’ public ministry was now ready to begin.

The following 5 points is an excerpt from the booklet “Who Killed Christ?” by Sheldon Emry:

In any murder investigation, the authorities usually seek answers to the following questions: 

1. Were there any previous attempts to kill the deceased, and if so, by whom? 

2. Had anyone shown enough hatred of the deceased that it might bring, about a desire to kill him? 

3, Had the deceased, prior to his death, named any who might kill him? 

4, Who was last seen with the victim? Or who might have had him under his physical control? 

5, What is the testimony of those who witnessed the murder?

Reference Scripture:  Genesis 3:17

(Proverbs 30:20). In our previous Lesson, Eve’s Story, we drew, from Genesis chapter 4, the thrilling Story of Eve’s triumph over her greatest Enemy! Is it an even greater Foe than those of our own Household, and greater still than Satan and all his unholy Horde? And they are Formidable! Is our greatest Enemy our own Carnal Nature? Pastor Jerry of Christian Reform Fellowship consistently preached “our Flesh hates God!” This Story of Eve’s Triumph plays out for 130 years! The corresponding Triumph is Adam’s Love for his wife that kept him ready to Raise Up a Cover for her to run under! To begin the story [Genesis 4:1-2] we began in Proverbs 30:20 to compare the way of an adulterous woman with Eve’s behavior in the 1st 2 Verses. 

A Thanksgiving of the Lord’s Anointed

SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 18:1

“To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all of his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: ‘I will love You, O LORD, my strength.’” (NKJV)

The opening Scripture reading is the longest title in the Book of Psalms. In this title David tells us whom the psalm was written for with the words “to the Chief Musician.” Thus, we can deduce that God Himself is that Chief Musician; albeit, there are times when context reveals someone else as chief: “For in David’s lifetime—and in the lifetime of Asaph, choir master [or “chief” in some versions] of old—there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.” (Neh. 12:46, ISV) Everything in this title is directing our attention to God as the Chief of music. David tells us to consider himself “the servant of the LORD.” He tells us the occasion for writing the psalm — possibly not only the aftermath of Saul’s death (described in 1 Sam. 31; 2 Sam. 1), but also of the period leading to David’s enthronement (2 Sam. 2-5). He also tells us something about Saul, who out of undeserved kindness from David, is not explicitly counted among David’s enemies: “…from the hand of all of his enemies and from the hand of Saul.”

(Genesis 3:6). To “…have these things always in remembrance” [2 Peter 1:15] shall we research things we have in time past searched? Might this help us perceive the importance of questions asked? We begin with Responsive Reading:   

       p       6 And when the woman saw that

              the tree was good for food, and that

              it was pleasant to the eyes, and a   

              tree to be desired to make one wise, 

              she took of the fruit thereof, and did

              eat, ... 

                                                Genesis chapter three. 

(1 John 2:16).  Does “all that is in the world” fall under 3 categories? 

       c      16 For all that is in the world, the 

              lust of the flesh, and the lust of the

              eyes, and the pride of life is not of 

              the Father, but is of the world. 

                                              First John chapter two. 

Using our assignments above, we now enter into a guided responsive reading set forth in our cues on the screen.  Nothing in The Bible will be altered. We are using the screen to get our cues for our participation. 

       p     ... when the woman saw that the tree 

              was good for food, 

       c     the lust of the flesh, 

       p     and that it was pleasant to the eyes, 

       c     the lust of the eyes, 

       p     and a tree to be desired to make one

              wise, 

       c     and the pride of life,

Deuteronomy 23:19, 20:

Today, almost all the mainstream churches of Christianity say nothing about being charged usury or interest from the different financial companies. The truth of the matter is that there are a whole host of Scriptures that deal with the terrible sin of usury being charged to Israelites.

Israel has continued committing this sin from its ancient beginning, and now Christendom performs marriages between people of different races. Their spokesman, before he passed away, Billy Graham, told a big lie when he said that there is nothing in the Bible that talks about inter-racial marriages. The truth of the matter is that there is a whole host of Scriptures, like the one in Ezra, dealing with the terrible marriages that Israelites, who were in the congregation of the Lord, had marriages with other races (Ezra 10:1).

Churches are now integrated, after almost two millenniums being segregated, except for the Catholic Church. Now there are people of all races and mixed races, who are members of the Protestant and like churches, some of whom are now part of the clergy, Sunday School teachers, choir directors, bishops, or board members. Every individual of every race or mixed race is treated the same
