John 1
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was
made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This
was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he
was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the
bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them
that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias (Isaiah).
-
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth
in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low: and the
crooked shall be made straight, and the rough
places plain:
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken
it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he
said, What shall I cry? All flesh is
grass, and all the goodliness
thereof is as the flower of the field:
-
Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by
the prophet Esaias (Isaiah), saying, The voice of one
crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight.
-
Mark 1:3 The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.
-
Luke 1:16 And many of the children of Israel
shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and
power of Elias (Elijah), to turn the hearts of the
fathers to the children, and the disobedient to
the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord.
-
Luke 1:76 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.
-
Luke 3:4 As it is written in the book of the
words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice
of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare
ye the way of the Lord, make his paths
straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every
mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the
crooked shall be made straight, and the rough
ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
-
John 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I
said, I am not the Christ, but
that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him,
rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he
that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of
the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above
all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he
testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
-
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah
the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the Lord:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to
the children, and the heart of the children to
their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth
with a curse.
24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be
not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth
one among you, whom ye know not;
27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet
I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before
me: for he was before me.
31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore
am I come baptizing with water.
32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a
dove, and it abode upon him.
33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said
unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him,
the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where
dwellest thou?
39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode
with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the
Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art
Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation,
A stone.
43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and
saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom
Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite
indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said
unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I
saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou
art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under
the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see
heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
