Wait Upon The Lord
Psalms145:15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them
their meat in due season.
The meat = 3rd level of God's word
Milk = 2nd level of God's Words
1st level = Salvation
Bible Study Milk and Meat
1 Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye
able.
Isaiah 8:17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of
Jacob, and I will look for him.
-
I will wait upon the Lord
-
I will look for him = Study His WORD
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint.
-
Absorb God's truth, and you
will never be spiritually frightened, worried,
or scared. You will never grow weary or faint.
Now, the reason we came to this Scripture.
-
It is critically important
that you clearly understand something so
important as renewing your strength.
-
What does this word "wait"
mean? "Wait" in Hebrew, a prime root which can't
be translated any other way than "to bind by the
means of twisting together".
-
Bind, or entwine, yourself
with God in His Word. You aren't going to gain
strength by waiting. Those that bind themselves
to the Lord, and His Word, shall renew their
strength.
Acts 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that
Jesus began both to do and teach,
-
The book of Acts links to Luke's Gospel
-
This book of Acts is written by Luke
-
Luke means Light Giver
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy
Spirit had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had
chosen:
-
He = Jesus
-
Taken up = received up
-
Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken
unto them, he was received up into heaven, and
sat on the right hand of God.
-
The Holy Spirit = Divine Power
-
Apostles whom He had chosen = chose out
-
Luke 6:13 And when it was day, he called unto
him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve,
whom also he named apostles
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion
by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and
speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
-
Forty Days, the only reference
to the period between the Resurrection.
-
Forty days = during forty days = Christ shewed
himself to Apostles = teaching them
-
The only reference to the period between the
Resurrection and the Ascension
-
Christ shewed himself alive = Presented
"Himself"
-
Christ speaking of the things concerning to the
kingdom of God
-
Pertaining to = concerning
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they
should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the
Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
-
Jesus tells them to wait for the promise
of the Father
-
They should not depart from Jerusalem
-
Luke 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise
of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city
of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from
on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and
he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
Holy Spirit not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
-
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israel?
-
Restore again = establish or setup
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
-
It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons
-
Promise given
-
Power = authority
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses
unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
-
Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy
Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto Me
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,
that no man take thy crown.
12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my God, and he shall go no more out:
and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my
God, which is new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I
will write upon him my new name.
Revelation 15:1
And 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.
2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and
them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over
his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand
on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
-
What's the subject?
-
The keyword = his mage, his mark, his name, and the number of his
name
-
His number = 666 = What happens at
the 6th seal, 6th trumpet and 6th vial
-
His image = Idolatry = image-worship = Satan
standing in Jerusalem saying he is God = false christ
-
Beasts = are kings,
kingdoms and leaders = 4 Kingdoms =
Revelation 13:2
-
Daniel 7:17
These great beasts, which
are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
-
Bible study hour: Mark of the beast
-
Bible study hour: The seal of God in your
forehead
-
These who had gotten ''victory''
are the overcomers. These have studied to show themselves approved.
-
They are those that knew what
happens at the 6th trumpet, 6th vial and the 6th seal
-
And had actually
overcome the beast = his name Satan
-
Who is the false Christ?
-
We know that the mark was put on
Cain in the garden.
-
The sea of glass is a sea of
purity, absolute purity.
-
They are standing upon a ground of
purity.
-
Remember the elders mentioned
earlier in other chapters.
-
They were standing on the sea of
glass.
-
Revelation 4:6 show us that the sea
of glass is before the throne.
-
Revelation 4:6 And before the throne there
was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the
throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes
before and behind.
-
The number of his name = Satan = you know what's happens
at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet and 6th vial.
3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant
of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are
thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King
of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou
only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee;
for thy judgments are made manifest.
-
ALL nations shall worship, not a
few.
-
All nations shall come and worship before
thee = Because you are with Christ
-
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and
every eye shall see him, and they (Satan's
seed) also which pierced him: and
all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,
Amen
Revelation 13:8 And
all that dwell upon
the earth shall worship him (Satan), whose names
are not written in the book
of life of the Lamb slain
from the
foundation of the world.
-
All shall worship the false
Christ except those whose name are written in the book of life.
-
Ephesians 1:4 According as he
hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will,
-
The elect's name was in the book when
the foundation of the world was laid.
-
Long before this age, you were
not chosen, not by accident, because you stood with God in a
previous time.
-
The elect
earned the right to have God's mark in their mind and your name written in the book and to
serve Him.
Revelation 3:5 He that
overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess
his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon (Satan) was wroth with the
woman (The 13 tribes of
Israel), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
-
Revelation 12:9 And 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.
-
We see here, that it is the remnant
of Israel with whom he is going to make war.
-
He will not be successful.
-
Isaiah 43:2 to give you peace in the
troublous days to come.
-
These words come directly from the
''Holy One of Israel", our Saviour
-
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee
-
And thou through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee
-
When thou walkest through the fire
-
Thou shall not be burned
-
Neither shall the flame kindle upon
thee.
Psalms 37:5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it
to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because
of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked
devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to
do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord,
they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in
the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his
teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast
down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be
broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many
wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth
the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall
be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine
they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as
the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume
away.
Psalms 37:26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are
preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of
judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is
judged.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to
inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a
green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he
could not be found.
Psalms 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my
trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.
1 Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have
no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief in the night.
-
We needn't write concerning the time Christ will return.
-
You know what is commonly taught that he will come as a thief in the
night, but pay attention as you read on.
-
Nobody knows when a thief in the night = Study to know the seasons
-
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth.
-
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not
hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any
tree; but only those men which have not
the seal of God in their foreheads.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction
cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not
escape.
-
There is much talk on radio, TV and the press concerning peace of
today.
-
World peace, or one Worldism, is one of the signs of the last days.
-
Who are Them = Those that don't study God's word
-
There will not be peace until = The Lord comes at the 7th
trumpet
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that
that day should overtake
you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are
not of the night, nor of
darkness.
-
That should alleviate a lot of fear in people's minds and hearts, as
far as being deceived by the false christ is concerned; for a child
in Christ's light of truth is NEVER in the darkness of satan's lies
and deception.
-
It does matter what hour is on the clock.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and
be sober.
-
Let us observe and know the signs of the coming by studying His
teaching, the word of God.
-
Don't fall asleep at the last hour.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night.
-
They that slumber in this stupor and deception and they that be
drunken and cannot function mentally.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate
of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
-
Knowing and robbing yourself in the truth.
-
If you go to Ephesians 6, you will determine what the gospel armor
is in its entirety
Those that wait on the Lord refers to Genesis 3,
the promise being "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown
of life."
"He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death"
(Revelation 2:10,11).
The reference is to Genesis 3, where death first enters.
But the promise goes beyond this; for it relates not merely to the death which
came in with sin, but to the "second death," which is revealed in Revelation
20:14; 21:8.
2 Esdras 2:10 Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras,
Tell my people that I will
give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given
unto Israel.
11 Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the
everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.
12 They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.
13 Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that
they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you:
watch.
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit
all things; and I will be his God, and he shall
be my son.
Daniel 7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and
asked him the truth of all this. So he
told me, and made me know the
interpretation of the things.
17 These great beasts, which
are four, are
four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
18 But the saints of
the most High shall take the kingdom,
and possess the kingdom for ever,
even for ever and ever.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass
mingled with fire: and them (God's elect)
that had gotten the victory over
the beast (Satan), and over his
(false christ) image, and over his (your
works) mark, and over the number of
his (Satan) name, stand on the sea
of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the song of Moses
the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,
Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways, thou
King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
for thou only art holy: for
all nations shall come and worship
before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy
is he that hath part in the
first resurrection: on such the second death hath no
power, but they shall be priests of God
and of Christ, and shall reign with
him a thousand years.
Ezekiel 44:23 And they (God's elect) shall teach my people the
difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to
discern between the unclean and the clean.
-
The elect shall teach my people the difference
between the Holy and profane
-
When Satan is locked into the pit for one
thousand years
-
The elect will also teach the world by our
witness at the end of this earth age, when the
elect are delivered up before the councils and
synagogues, when God will speak through us and
draw the 144,000 out of confusion and the world. (Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke
21
Ezekiel 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the
sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary
when the children of Israel went astray from me, they
shall come
near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me
to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
-
Good reading Romans 11 and Romans 8
-
Zadok: In Hebrew means sons of the just
-
It is repeated that the son of Zadok, the 7,000
shall minister unto the Lord.
-
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath
part in the first resurrection: on such the
second death hath no power, but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ, and shall
reign with him a thousand years.
The days of the
Millennial will be
the blessing of the whole earth. For in
that day there shall be one King,
one will, "one Lord", and His
name one."
The Lord's day, begins the millennium. What
a time to live, God's elect are
resurrected to Immortality (deathlessness) soul alive with
Christ forever.
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.
9 The
Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and
the works that are therein shall be burned up.
-
The Elements = to destroy the evil things, the works of
this earth age that are evil.
-
Melt means be dissolved
-
Hebrews 12:29 For our
God is a consuming fire.
-
Why as a thief in the night?
-
If you do not know God's Word, you are in darkness
-
You do not have the seal of God in your forehead
-
You haven't studied to shew yourself approved to God
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the
LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings
as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint.
-
Renew = change = to change for the better
Zephaniah 3:8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord,
until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my
determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the
kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce
anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my
jealousy.
-
Therefore = The Massorah (Ap. 30 and Ap. 93)
calls attention to the fact that this verse
contains all the letters of the Hebrew alphabet,
including the five final letters.
-
This implies that the verse takes in the whole
purpose of God's concerning to Israel.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple
of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the
name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write
upon him my new name.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh
will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.
Daniel 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall
be the end of these things?
-
Can you imagine Daniel's bewilderment?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and
sealed till the time of the end.
-
It was not meant for Daniel to understand.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked
shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise
shall understand.
-
The wicked are those who work against the elect
of God.
-
But note that it says the wise shall
understand.
-
You the elect, are the wise.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and
the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand
two hundred and ninety days.
-
The daily sacrifice was taken away when Christ
died on the cross in 33 A.D. (Hebrews 10)
-
Christ died for our sins = no more burn
sacrifice
-
What did Jesus say in Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it
ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that
be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
-
When did the Kenites slip into Jerusalem, the
Holy Place?
-
The nation Israel became a nation, the tribe of Judah became a nation May
14, 1948, the Kenites slip in, they do not
believe in the Lord.
-
Satan's children and followers will help bring
in one Worldism and Satan himself will appear and
stand in the holy place, in Jerusalem saying he
is God.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty days.
-
Revelation 2:17 He that hath
an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To
him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and
will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it
-
Revelation 2:26 And he
that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will
I give power over the nations:
-
This is the ''white stone'' which is the hidden manna, or hidden
truth that only the elect can learn.
-
Satan is called Tyrus in Ezekiel
28:2, Tyrus in Hebrew means ''rock''.
-
Deuteronomy 32:31 states, ''For their rock is not our Rock''
-
Deuteronomy 34:4 ''God is our Rock''
-
It leaves no doubt that the Kenites rocks is Satan.
-
Satan is their rock, and his children are the stones or pebbles.
-

-
Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's
sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
saved.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand
in thy lot at the end of the days.
-
Daniel's faithfulness to God is an example for
us, so that we should not deceived by the false
christ when he appears.
Luke 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he
will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may
open unto him immediately.
-
Wedding =
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit
and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And
let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely.
- John has come back to the earth from heaven to deliver a
message that extends from John's time to the consummation of the
kingdom wedding.
- The word ''bride'' in Greek means ''Young
wife'' or even ''betrothed''.
- How can he equate the Spirit, which
is the Holy Spirit with the bride?
- The spirit speaks through the bride (His Wife) to call all
to His wedding.
- How precious is His charge and it is through
love and understanding she returns her commitment.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find
watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
-
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when
he cometh shall find watching
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch,
and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the good man of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his
house to be broken through.
-
Had known what hour the thief would come
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when
ye think not.
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us,
or even to all?
-
Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom
his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion
of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that
he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat
and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for
him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not
himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many
stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall
be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him
shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they
will ask the more.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I if it be already
kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened
till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the
father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the
mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter
in law against her mother in law.
54 And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the
west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Zephaniah 3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O
Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O
daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast
out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is
in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and
to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he
will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for
the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it
was a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that
afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her
that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in
every land where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in
the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a
praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your
captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come
as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they
see his shame.
If you haven't studied God's word, how do you know what's going
on at the 5th trumpet?
God shows us here "You have to have the seal of God in your
forehead" before the 5th trumpet (Revelation 9)
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.
-
Study to shew thyself approved unto God

A workman that needeth not to be ashamed
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth
sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his. And,
Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from
iniquity.
Psalms 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and
he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit,
out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a
rock, and established my goings.
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even
praise unto our God: many shall see it, and
fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his
trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as
turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works
which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are
to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order
unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire;
mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and
sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the
book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea,
thy law is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the great
congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips,
O Lord, thou knowest.
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my
heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy
salvation: I have not concealed thy loving
kindness and thy truth from the great
congregation.
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me,
O Lord: let thy loving kindness and thy truth
continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me
about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me,
so that I am not able to look up; they are more
than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart
faileth me.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord,
make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together
that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them
be driven backward and put to shame that wish me
evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their
shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be
glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say
continually, The Lord be magnified.
Psalms 27:14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 89:21
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
strengthen him.
Hosea 12:6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and
wait on thy God continually.
-
Wait On God continually

Don't turn away to another god
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the
rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
2 Thessalonians 2:5 Remember ye not, that,
when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
God will
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie
2 Thessalonians
2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
-
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of
God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
-
They wouldn't listen to
the truth; would they?
-
They listen to the World Press.
-
They listen
to what is being commonly taught in many churches.
-
They wouldn't
listen to the teachings of God's prophets that are recorded in His
Word.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
- So again, the question: who holds the truth in unrighteousness?
- It is Satan and his children, the Kenites, who have slipped in among
the true Judeans.
- These verses in 2 Thessalonians 2 speaks specifically of Satan and
those who choose to follow him and pinpoint the men in Romans 1:18 who
invoke God's wrath.
- The lies begins, when Satan is standing in the
Holy Place, saying he is Christ.
- All the world, except the elect will believe
he is Christ and be
deceived.
- No mark will sent this delusion upon them...It
was God Himself.
- Roman 11:4 Where Paul has just said that God has
not forsaken true Israel, those listening and understanding.
- Roman 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto
him? I have reserved to myself seven
thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
• 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)
