Hyper-Sovereignty

"HYPER-SOVEREIGNTY"

"YES, GOD IS THE SUPREME SOVEREIGN OF ALL CREATION BUT SOME CRISTIANS HAVE A HYPER VIEW OF GOD'S CHARACTER: THE IDEA THAT HE DOES BOTH GOOD AND EVIL IN THEIR LIVES" (GOD DOES USE EVIL: IF YOU'RE LIVING LIKE THE DEVIL, GOD WILL ALLOW EVIL IN TO TURN YOU)

FOR EXAMPLE, SOME CHRISTIANS ATTRIBUTE THE MOST HORRID THINGS TO GOD; THEY BLAME EVERYTHING ON GOD NO MATTER WHAT EVIL HAPPENS BY SAYING THINGS LIKE, 'IT MUST HAVE BEEN GOD'S WILL THAT YOUR CHILD DIED' OR 'THE HURRICANE OR TORNADO THAT JUST DESTROYED MY LIFE MUST OF BEEN GOD'S WILL, ETC.'

"FOR CHRISTIANS TO BLAME GOD OF DOING EVIL IN THEIR LIVES IS TO PLAY RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE DEVIL" (SATAN WANTS US TO DAMAGE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BY FALSELY ACCUSING HIM OF DOING EVIL!)

SATAN LOVES IT WHEN BELIEVERS FALSELY ACCUSE GOD: REVELATION 12   10b For the accuser of our brethren [Satan] is cast down, which accused them [the Chistians] before our God day and night. 1-PETER 5   8 ¶Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ... WHEN WE YIELD OUR LIVES UNTO THE DESIRES OF SATAN, WE GIVE HIM AN INROAD INTO OUR LIVES: ROMANS 6   16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness [being right with God]? GIVE NO PLACE TO THE DEVIL: EPHESIANS 4   27 Neither give place to the devil.

"WE NEED TO STOP BLAMING GOD FOR WHAT SATAN IS DOING!" (SATAN IS THE ONE THAT CAME TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY, NOT GOD)

JOHN 10   10a [Jesus said,] The thief [Satan/Devil] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: ...

"JESUS, GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL"

1-JOHN 3   8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. HEBREWS 2   14 ¶Forasmuch then as the children [of earth] are partakers of flesh and blood [human], he [Jesus] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death [on the cross] he [Jesus] might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; ...

"GOD IS LOVE, AND THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THAT GOD HAS DONE AND IS DOING IS LOVE" (GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD ALL THE TIME)

1-JOHN 4   8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1-JOHN 4   16b God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1-JOHN 4   19 We love him [God the Father], because he first loved us. JOHN 3   ¶16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten [Divinely Sired] Son [Jesus the Christ], that whosoever believeth in him should not perish [in Hell], but have everlasting life [in Heaven].

"BEFORE GOD SPOKE THE FIRST WORD OF CREATION, GOD, KNOWING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, IN LOVE, CRUCIFIED HIS SON JESUS ON THE CROSS TO REPAIR THE BREACH BETWEEN GOD AND MANKIND" (BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD GOD LOVED US AND SET OUT TO SAVE US)

1-PETER 1   20a Who [speaking of Jesus] verily [truely] was foreordained before the foundation of the world [to pay for our sins on the cross], ... EPHESIANS 1   4 According as he [God] hath chosen us in him [Jesus] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:... REVELATION 13   8b [Jesus] the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. HEBREWS 11   3a Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed [created] by the word of God, ...

~ THE TRUE CHARACTER OF GOD IS REVEALED IN AND THROUGH JESUS ~ (TO KNOW THE TRUE CHARACTER OF GOD LOOK TO JESUS)

"JESUS SAID, WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN ME, YOU HAVE SEEN GOD THE FATHER"

JOHN 14   9 Jesus saith unto him [Philip], Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me [Jesus] hath seen the Father [God]; and how sayest thou then, Shew [Show] us the Father?   10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

"JESUS IS THE EXPRESSED IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD; CREATOR OF ALL THINGS SEEN AND UNSEEN"

COLOSSIANS 1   15 Who [speaking of Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn [preeminent] of every creature:   16 For by him [Jesus] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:   17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. HEBREWS 1   1 ¶God, who at sundry times and in divers [diverse] manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,   2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son [Jesus], whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;   3 Who being the brightness of his [God's] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; ...

"JESUS SAID, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS BROUGHT TO DESOLATION" (GOD DOES NOT MANIPULATE SATAN TO DO HIS WILL)

MATTHEW 12   22 ¶Then was brought unto him [Jesus] one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.   23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?   24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.   25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:   26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?   27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.   28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. LUKE 11   14 ¶And he [Jesus] was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.   15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.   16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.   17 But he [Jesus], knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.   18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.   19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.   20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

"JESUS SAID, GOD DOES NOT GIVE EVIL THINGS WHEN WE ASK FOR GOOD THINGS"

MATTHEW 7   9 [Jesus said,] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?   10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?   11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? LUKE 11   11 [Jesus said,] If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?   12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?   13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

"JESUS, GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH REVEALS THE DESIRES OF SATAN AND THE DESIRES OF GOD" (GOD THROUGH CHRIST WANTS TO GIVE YOU A MORE ABUNDANT LIFE)

SATAN'S DESIRE IS TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY: JOHN 10   10a The thief [Satan/Devil] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: ... JESUS' DESIRE IS TO GIVE YOU LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANT: JOHN 10   10b I [Jesus/God] am come that they [You] might have life, and that they [You] might have it more abundantly. 1-CORINTHIANS 2   9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

"JESUS, GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH SAID, I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY MEN'S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM"

LUKE 9   54 And when his disciples James and John saw this [the rejection of the Samaritans], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?   55 But he [Jesus] turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.   56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

"THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD: THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELL IN JESUS"

COLOSSIANS 2   9 For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.   10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: ...

"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS GOD" (SPEAKING OF JESUS THE THIRD PERSON OF THE GODHEAD)

JOHN 1   1 ¶In the beginning was the Word [the Preincarnate Jesus The Christ], 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 [the Preincarnate Jesus The Christ]; and without him was not any thing made that was made. JOHN 1   14 And the Word [the Preincarnate Jesus The Christ] was made flesh [Human], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

"JESUS WAS, AND IS GOD WITH US BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT"

MATTHEW 1   20b Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost [Spirit].   21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.   22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,   23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. JOHN 10   30 [Jesus said] I and my Father [God] are one. JESUS SAID, HE WAS ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN AT THE SAME TIME: JOHN 3   13 [Jesus said] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he [Jesus] that came down from heaven, even the Son of man [Jesus] which is in heaven.

"THE MATTER OF COVENANTS" GOD TREATS US DIFFERENTLY ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT WE ARE UNDER ~ GOD GIVES US THE CHOICE: LAW OR GRACE ~
THE COVENANT OF LAW THE LAW CAME BY MOSES	THE COVENANT OF GRACE GRACE CAME BY JESUS THE CHRIST
~ GOD'S LAW ~ Under the Covenant of Law, God loves you, but you are separated from the fullness of God's Love.	~ GOD'S GRACE ~ Under the Covenant of Grace through Christ Jesus, you enter into the fullness of God's Love.
THE LAW MAKES YOU GUILTY: ROMANS 3   19 ¶Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. GOD PUT US UNDER THE LAW TO TEACH US THAT WE CANNOT WORK OUR WAY INTO HEAVEN BUT THAT WE NEED A SAVIOR: GALATIANS 3   24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ [Jesus], that we might be justified [rendered innocent] by faith [grace]. BREAKING GOD'S LAW IS CALLED SIN: 1-JOHN 3   4 ¶Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression [breaking] of the law. ONE SIN VIOLATES GOD'S WHOLE LAW: JAMES 2   10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law [Ten Commandments], and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of [violating] all. TO REFUSE GOD'S GRACE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS IS TO PUT YOURSELF UNDER THE CURSE OF THE LAW: GALATIANS 3   10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.	GRACE IS A FREE GIFT PURCHASED FOR YOU ON THE CROSS BY JESUS THE CHRIST THAT YOU HAVE TO PERSONALLY RECEIVE: EPHESIANS 2   8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:   9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. GRACE MAKES YOU INNOCENT ROMANS 5   1 ¶Therefore being justified [rendered innocent] by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: ... THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE: ROMANS 6   23 For the wages of sin [breaking God's Law] is death; but the gift of God is eternal life [Heaven] through Jesus Christ our Lord. GRACE BRINGS YOU INTO THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S LOVE JOHN 3   16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son [Jesus], that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life [on Earth and in Heaven]. GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW IN OUR PLACE: MATTHEW 5   17 ¶Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I [Jesus] am not come to destroy [the law], but to fulfil [the law].
"GOD, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, FULFILLED THE LAW IN OUR PLACE. SETTING US FREE TO LIVE WITH GOD IN A STATE OF PEACE FOREVER ON EARTH AND THEN IN HEAVEN. ~ COME OUT FROM UNDER THE CURSE OF THE LAW INTO THE COVENANT OF GRACE ~ ~ ENTER INTO THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S LOVE ~ ~ MAKE THIS PRAYER YOUR OWN ~    Dear God, I am truly sorry; please forgive me for breaking Your Laws (1sinning against You); I change my mind from my way to Your Way and will live my life according to that change of mind (I repent). Jesus, I believe that You are the Christ (Messiah), the Son of God; that You died on the Cross as payment for my sins; and You were buried and rose again the third day according to scripture. Jesus, I put my faith in you; please cleanse me with your sinless blood and reconcile me unto God the Father. Have the Holy Spirit enter into my body and become one with my spirit: cause me to be 2born again. I now personally receive you Christ Jesus, as my Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen.
~ THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT GRACE ~ "DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF THINKING YOU CAN MIX LAW WITH GRACE FOR SALVATION" "TO ADD THE WORKS OF THE LAW TO WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU ON THE CROSS IS AN INSULT TO GOD" GOD GIVES US SALVATION AS A GIFT THROUGH THE MERITS OF CHRIST AND CHRIST ALONE: EPHESIANS 2   8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:   9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. THROUGH GRACE WE ARE CREATED UNTO GOOD WORKS NOT TO BE SAVED BUT BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED: EPHESIANS 2   10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. WE ARE TO PUT FULL CONFIDENCE IN GRACE FOR SALVATION ALONE: GALATIANS 2   21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the [works of the] law, then Christ is dead in vain. TO BELIEVE YOU CAN WORK YOUR WAY INTO HEAVEN IS TO FALL FROM GRACE: GALATIANS 5   4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified [rendered innocent] by the law; ye are fallen from grace. WHEN YOU ENTER THE COVENANT OF GRACE, YOU BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT EXPERIENCE A NEW BIRTH: 2-CORINTHIANS 5   17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things [your sins] are passed away; behold, all things are become new.   18a And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, ... JOHN 1   12 But as many as received him [Jesus the Christ], to them gave he power [the Holy Spirit] to become the sons [and daughters] 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.

~ BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS AND WHAT ABOUT THAT? WELL, LET ME EXPLAIN ABOUT THIS AND ABOUT THAT ~

"GOD SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, ALMOST ALWAYS, HAS PUT HIS JUDGEMENT IN THE HANDS OF MANKIND" ~ FOR EXAMPLE: ~ "GOD PUT HIS JUDGEMENT IN THE HANDS OF THE FIRST MAN ADAM" (ADAM, BEING THE FIRST MAN WAS THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MAN; AND WHEN ADAM FELL FROM GRACE, ALL OF MANKIND FELL WITH HIM)

GOD GIVES ADAM ONE LAW AND THE JUDGEMENT FOR BREAKING IT: GENESIS 2   16 ¶And the LORD God commanded the man [Adam], saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:   17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou [mankind] shalt surely die. ADAM BREAKS GOD'S LAW AND BRINGS GOD'S JUDGEMENT ON ALL MANKIND: ROMANS 5   18 Therefore as by the offence of one [Adam] judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [Jesus] the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

"GOD THROUGH NOAH WARNS THE PEOPLE 120 YEARS TO GET ON THE ARK HE WAS BUILDING"

NOAH A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WARNS THE PEOPLE: GENESIS 6   3 ¶And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive [plead] with man [mankind], for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years [then the flood]. 2-PETER 2   5 And [God] spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; ... 1-PETER 3   20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. HEBREWS 11   7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

~ GOD DOES CREATE EVIL TO COUNTER AND PUNISH EVIL ~

"GOD BEING CREATER OF ALL THINGS TAKES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THINGS BOTH GOOD AND EVIL" (IN ORDER TO BUILD A KINGDOM OF LOVE, GOD HAD TO GIVE ANGELS AND MANKIND FREE WILL; LUCIFER, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANGEL FILLED WITH PRIDE, SINNED AND BECAME SATAN, THEN DECEIVED OTHER ANGELS, AND LED A REBELLION AGAINST GOD. THEN SATAN CAME TO EARTH AND DECEIVED MANKIND, AND THUS EVIL WAS CREATED)

GOD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL THINGS: ISAIAH 45   5 ¶I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded [upheld] thee, though thou hast not known me:   6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.   7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

"GOD TELLS ABRAHAM THAT HE IS GOING TO DESTROY SODOM" (THE SIN OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH WAS SO VILE AND CONTAGIOUS, GOD HAD TO JUDGE AND DESTROY THEM)

LOT LIFTS UP A CRY TO THE LORD ABOUT THE ABOMINATIONS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH: 2-PETER 2   7b Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation [way of life] of the wicked [sodomites]: 8  (For that righteous man [Lot] dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) ... GOD HEARS LOT'S CRY ABOUT SODOM AND GOMORRAH: GENESIS 18   20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;   21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.   22 And the men [two Angels] turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. ABRAHAM GETS GOD TO SPARE SODOM AND GOMORRAH IF THERE ARE ONLY FIFTY RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE: GENESIS 18   23 ¶And Abraham drew near, and said [to God], Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?   24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?   25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?   26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. ... ABRAHAM THEN BACKTRACKS AND GETS GOD TO SPARE SODOM AND GOMORRAH IF THERE ARE ONLY TEN RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE: GENESIS 18   32 And he [Abraham] said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he [God] said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.   33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. THE ANGELS MEET LOT AT THE GATE OF SODOM AND LOT COMPELS THEM TO STAY IN HIS HOUSE KNOWING THE DANGER OF THE CITY AT NIGHT: GENESIS 19   1 ¶And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;   2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.   3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. THE SODOMITES SURROUND LOT'S HOUSE, FAMILY AND THE ANGELS: GENESIS 19   4 ¶But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: ... THE SODOMITES THEN TELL LOT TO BRING THE ANGELS OUT SO THEY CAN HAVE SEX WITH THEM: GENESIS 19   5 And they [the sodomites] called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.   6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,   7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. LOT, THEN, TO PROTECT THE ANGELS, OFFERS TO GIVE THE SODOMITES HIS DAUGHTERS: GENESIS 19   8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. THE ANGELS IN LOT'S DEFENSE SMOTE THE SODOMITES WITH BLINDNESS: GENESIS 19   9 And they [the Angels] said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.   10 But the men [Angels] put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.   11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. THE ANGELS TELL LOT, GET YOUR PEOPLE OUT OF SODOM, FOR WE ARE GOING TO DESTROY IT: GENESIS 19   12 ¶And the men [Angels] said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:   13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. THE HUSBANDS OF LOT'S DAUGHTERS REFUSE TO LEAVE SODOM AFTER BEING WARNED OF SODOM'S TOTAL DESTRUCTION: GENESIS 19   14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he [Lot] seemed as one that mocked [joked] unto his sons in law. THE ANGELS TAKE LOT'S FAMILY BY THE HAND AND LEAD THEM OUT OF SODOM--- GOD FINDS ONLY FOUR RIGHTOUS PEOPLE: LOT, AND HIS WIFE, AND TWO DAUGHTERS: GENESIS 19   15 ¶And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.   16 And while he lingered, the men [Angels] laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. THE ANGELS TOLD LOT AND HIS FAMILY TO FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS, BUT LOT HAD A DIFFERENT DESIRE: GENESIS 19   17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he [the Angel] said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.   18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:   19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: ... THE ANGELS GAVE LOT HIS DESIRE TO FLEE INTO THE CITY ZOAR: GENESIS 19   20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.   21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.   22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.   23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. THE LORD WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE DESTROYED SODOM AND GOMORRAH FOR THE ABOMINATIONS THEY WERE COMMITING AND FOR OUR EXAMPLE: GENESIS 19   24 ¶Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;   25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 2-PETER 2   6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample [example] unto those that after should live ungodly; ... LOT'S WIFE, BEING WARNED BY THE ANGELS NOT TO LOOK BACK, LOOKED BACK AND BECAME A PILLAR OF SALT: GENESIS 19   26 ¶But his [Lot's] wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

"GOD THROUGH MOSES PUT THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD INTO THE HANDS OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT" (FOR PHARAOH TO CHANGE HIS MIND AND LET GOD'S CHILDREN GO, IT TOOK TEN PLAGUES: WATER TO BLOOD, FROGS, LICE, FLIES, CATTLE DEATH, BOILS, HAIL WITH FIRE, LOCUSTS, DARKNESS, AND THE DEATH OF EGYPT'S FIRSTBORN)

GOD INSTRUCTS MOSES WHAT TO DO AND SAY TO PHARAOH WHEN HE RETURNS TO EGYPT: EXODUS 4   21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I [my words] will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. EXODUS 4   22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:   23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. IF PHARAOH WOULD HAVE OBSERVED THE WORD OF THE LORD, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PLAGUES: EXODUS 5   1 ¶And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.   2 And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.   3 ¶And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he [God] fall upon us [you] with pestilence, or with the sword. GOD COMMANDS AARON TO CAST DOWN HIS ROD AND IT BECOMES A SERPENT: EXODUS 7   10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.   11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.   12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. THE FIRST PLAGUE WAS THE TURNING OF THE NILE INTO BLOOD: EXODUS 7   14 ¶And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.   15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.   16 And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.   17 Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that [is] in mine hand upon the waters which [are] in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.   18 And the fish that [is] in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river. THE LAST PLAGUE, GOD TELLS MOSES ABOUT THE DEATH OF EGYPT'S FIRSTBORN: EXODUS 12   12 For I [God, through the Destroyer] will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD. PHARAOH, KING OF EGYPT, FINALLY LETS GOD'S CHILDREN GO: EXODUS 12   31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, [and] get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.   32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.   33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We [be] all dead [men]. PHARAOH THEN CHANGES HIS MIND, ATTACKS, AND TRIES TO KILL THEM: EXODUS 14   5 And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?   6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:   7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.   8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.   9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. GOD THEN PROTECTS HIS CHILDREN, ISRAEL, BY PARTING THE RED SEA FOR THEM TO PASS THROUGH SAFELY: EXODUS 14   13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.   14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.   15 ¶And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:   16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea. EXODUS 14   21 ¶And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.   22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. PHARAOH AND HIS ARMY FOLLOW THEM, AND GOD, THROUGH MOSES, RELEASES THE WATER, AND THEY ALL DROWN: EXODUS 14   17b I [God] will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.   18 And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. EXODUS 14   23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.   24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,   25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.   26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.   27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.   28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. EXODUS 14   29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.   30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.   31 And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses. THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE SLAVES TO EGYPT APROX. 400 YEARS: EXODUS 12   40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.   41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts [armies] of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. GOD TELLS ABRAHAM OF THE SLAVERY OF HIS CHILDREN ISRAEL BEFORE THERE WAS A ISRAEL: GENESIS 15   13 And he [God] said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed [children] shall be a stranger in a land [Egypt] [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them [as slaves]; and they [Egypt] shall afflict them four hundred years;   14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. GOD TELLS ABRAHAM AFTER 400 YEARS ISRAEL WILL RETURN TO WERE ABRAHAM WAS AND NOTE THAT GOD HAS A ISSUE WITH THE WICKEDNESS OF THE AMORITES: GENESIS 15   16 But in the fourth generation [four hundred years of slavery] they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full. ISRAEL ON THE WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND WAS IMMEDIATELY ATTACKED BY THE BLOOD KIN OF ESAU, JACOB'S BROTHER: NUMBERS 20   14 ¶And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel [Jacob], Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:   15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:   16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:   17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.   18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.   19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet.   20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.   21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him. ISRAEL AGREES TO GOD'S COVENANT AND PROMISES TO DO ALL THAT THE LORD HAS SAID: EXODUS 19   3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;   4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.   5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:   6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.   7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.   8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. EXODUS 24   6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.   7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they [Israel] said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.   8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. GOD PERSONALLY SPEAKS TO ISRAEL, GIVING THEM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: EXODUS 20   1 ¶And God spake all these words, saying,   2 I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.   3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.   4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:   5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;   6 And shewing [showing] mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.   7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.   8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.   9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:   10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:   11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.   12 ¶Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.   13 Thou shalt not kill [murder].   14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.   15 Thou shalt not steal.   16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.   17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's. WHEN GOD SPOKE DIRECTLY TO ISRAEL, THEY TOLD MOSES, "DON'T LET GOD SPEAK TO US LEST WE DIE: EXODUS 20   19 And they [the children of Israel] said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.   20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. ISRAEL BUILDS THE TENT OF MEETING, THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, AND ALL THE OTHER WORSHIP IMPLEMENTS: EXODUS 31   1 ¶And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,   2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:   3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,   4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,   5 And in cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.   6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;   7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,   8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,   9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,   10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,   11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy [place]: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. EXODUS 31   18 And he [God] gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. EXODUS 37   1 ¶And Bezaleel made the ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits and a half [was] the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: ... BECAUSE OF ISRAEL'S LACK OF FAITH IN GOD, AFTER ALL THE MIRACLES THEY HAD SEEN, GOD WOULD ONLY LET TWO OF THAT GENERATION INTO THE PROMISED LAND: NUMBERS 14   6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:   7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good land.   8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.   9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not. NUMBERS 14   22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;   23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:   24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. GOD SAID TO ISRAEL AS YOU HAVE SPOKEN IN MINE EARS SO WILL I DO TO YOU, YOU WILL DIE IN THE WILDERNESS ONLY CALEB, JOSHUA AND YOUR CHILREN SHALL ENTER THE PROMISED LAND: NUMBERS 14   28 Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:   29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,   30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.   31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.   32 But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.   33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.   34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.   35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.   36 ¶And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,   37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.   38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still]. MOSES DIED AND GOD ANOINTS JOSHUA TO LEAD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL INTO THE PROMISE LAND FOR THE SECOND TIME: JOSHUA 3   7 ¶And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.   8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. GOD THROUGH JOSHUA PROMISES TO REMOVE THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL FROM THE PROMISED LAND: JOSHUA 3   9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.   10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. THE LORD GOD PARTS THE JORDAN RIVER FOR THE CHILDREN TO PASS OVER ON DRY GROUND: JOSHUA 3   11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.   12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.   13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap. JOSHUA 3   14 ¶And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;   15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)   16 That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.   17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan. JOSHUA 5   1 ¶And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel. THE PREINCARNATE CHRIST, READY FOR BATTLE REVEALS HIMSELF TO JOSHUA: JOSHUA 5   13 ¶And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man [the Preincarnate Christ] over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?   14 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host [army] of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?   15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so. GOD GIVES FORTIFIED CITY OF JERICHO INTO THE HANDS OF JOSHUA: JOSHUA 6   1 ¶Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.   2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valour.   3 And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.   4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.   5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. THIS IS THE COVENANT GOD MADE WITH ABRAHAM THAT GIVES THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THE PROMISED LAND: GENESIS 15   18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed [the children of Israel] have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WOULD FACE MANY ENEMIES ON THEIR WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND: GENESIS 15   19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,   20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,   21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

1-CORINTHIANS 10   6 ¶Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.   7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.   8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.   9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.   10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 1-CORINTHIANS 10   11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples [examples]: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.   12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

"GOD HAS PUT THE JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH INTO THE HANDS OF MANKIND" (GOD HAS PROGRAMMED THE EARTH TO VOMIT US OUT IF WE COMMIT ABOMINATIONS)

LEVITICUS 18   25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land [earth] itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.   26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:   27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)   28 That the land [earth] spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.   29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.   30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

~ OTHER THAN SATAN, ADAM'S ORIGINAL SIN IS MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EVIL ON EARTH. ~

"WHEN ADAM, THE FIRST MAN, COMMITTED THE ORIGINAL SIN, THE HUMAN RACE BY ANCESTRY BECAME SINNERS AND UNDER ADAM'S CURSE" (BEING THE FIRST MAN, ADAM WAS MANKIND'S FIRST REPRESENTATIVE UNTO GOD) "ADAM'S ORIGINAL SIN: SPAWNED DEATH, MURDER, DISEASE, SICKNESS, ILLNESS, INFIRMITY, CANCER, TUMORS, BIRTH DEFECTS, BLINDNESS, EARTHQUAKES, TORNADOS, HURRICANES, FLOODS, ETC."

ORIGINAL SIN BROUGHT FORTH A CURSE ON MANKIND: ROMANS 5   18 Therefore as by the offence [the original sin] of one [Adam] judgment came upon all men [mankind] to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [Jesus] the free gift came upon all men [mankind] unto justification of life. GENESIS 3   17 ¶And unto Adam he [God] said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground [earth] for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;   18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;   19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. GENESIS 3   16 ¶Unto the woman he [God] said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ORIGINAL SIN BROUGHT FORTH A CURSE ON THE EARTH: ROMANS 8   19 For the earnest expectation of the creature [creation] waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God [at the resurrection/rapture].   20 For the creature [creation] was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him [Adam] who hath subjected the same in hope,   21 Because the creature [creation] itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.   22 For we know that the whole creation [heaven, earth, and sea] groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.   23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit [know], the redemption of our body.

ORIGINAL SIN BROUGHT FORTH EVIL BEHAVIOR: GALATIANS 5   19 Now the works of the flesh [fallen mankind] are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,   20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,   21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ORIGINAL SIN BROUGHT FORTH WICKED HEARTS: MATTHEW 15   19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: ...

11-John 3:4b Sin is the transgression [breaking] of the law. 2John 3:3e Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Isaiah 40:22a "It is he [God] that sitteth upon the circle of the earth" (Note: The Book of Isaiah was written 700-680 B.C. before man knew the world was round) Isaiah 10:6 speaks of a "hypocritical nation"- Note the hypocrisy of America: she sings and says, "God Bless America" when disaster strikes, but bans God's Ten Commandments and Prayer from her Schools; and tries to remove all mention of God from our lives. "GOD GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WILL; YOU CAN BELIEVE JESUS CRUCIFIED IS JUST A FAIRY TALE; AND IF YOU'RE RIGHT ALL IS WELL; BUT IF YOU'RE WRONG YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!" "AMERICA BLESS GOD!" "GOOD BEHAVIOR EQUALS A HAPPY EARTH AND GOOD WEATHER- LEVITICUS 18:25-30 KJV" EXODUS 20:13 THOU SHALT NOT KILL [DO NO MURDER].

"HOW TO READ THE BIBLE"

"THERE ARE TWO MAJOR SECTIONS IN THE BIBLE: THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT; THE LOCATION OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS CAN BE FOUND AT THE FRONT OF THE BIBLE IN THE TABLE OF CONTENTS." "THE BIBLE/WORD OF GOD SAYS IN JOHN 12:48 ON JUDGMENT DAY WE WILL BE JUDGED BY THE WORDS OF JESUS RECORDED/WRITTEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:

JOHN 12     48 He that rejecteth me [Christ Jesus], and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken [recorded in the New Testament], the same shall judge him [You] in the last day.

"THE NEW TESTAMENT IS GOD'S AGREEMENT (COVENANT) WITH YOU!" "THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS FOR THEN; THE NEW TESTAMENT IS FOR NOW; WE ARE GRAFTED INTO THE OLD TESTAMENT BY WAY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT" "READ THE NEW TESTAMENT FIRST"
