** Jeremiah; Halley's Bible Handbook, Classic Edition, pg 307, God's Final Effort to Save Jerusalem. Jeremiah lived about a hundred years after Isaiah. Isaiah had saved Jerusalem from Assyria. Jeremiah tried to save it from Babylon, but failed.  "Jeremiah was called to the prophetic office (626B.C.), Jerusalem was partly destroyed (606), further devastated (597); finally burned and desolated (586).  Jeremiah lived through these terrible forty years, "the close of the monarchy," "the death agony of a nation"; a pathetic , lonely figure, God's last measure to the Holy City which had become hopelessly and fanatically attached to Idols; carelessly crying that if they would repent God would save them from Babylon.  Thus, as Assyria had been the background of Isaiah's ministry, so Babylon was the background of Jeremiah's ministry."

Some key words are: mystery, knowledge, wisdom, fulness, perfect, all, faith , body, love and prayer. Consider v2:20 and 3:1 and meditate on these facts.

20 September 2013-Friday and Sunday is coming! Hope you are reading your KJV Bible. Reading this AM to know God it was made plain in Proverbs 23:23 "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.", that we are to be stewards of all that we have received.

The question is what have you and I been and done this AM to glorify God? If not, why not? All the TRUTH we need to know is at our disposal in and from the KJV Bible. If a person lacks wisdom and then seeks instruction from one other than The Lord God Almighty, they will not have true understanding. The Lord Jesus Christ said He was The Light. Please don't walk in darkness. If you have been saved and have this Light, don't walk apart from Him. Walk in agreement with God  and enjoy the fruits of the Spirit as promised at Galatians 5:22-26. Read your Bible to know God. Allow the Holy Spirit to show you the Lord Jesus Christ, seek Him early, while He may be found.

PJ's rule: get right, BE right, Do right and don't quit. We have all this and heaven to look forward to-Maranatha. Hope to see you in heaven today, luvpj

The thoughts and question in the lesson are there to provoke you to consider when, how, why God demonstrated that He cares for you. It has been said "that what you think about God is the most important thing you think."
I've attached Lesson # 38,One Year-365  Bible Class, as we read 16-22 September.

Read Hebrews 9:27 and admit/agree that you will die and you will be called into account for what you did in response to Jehovah's offer of salvation in view of Jesus' birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven. Read Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 5:5, 6:23, 10:8-13 and John 1:12. Read to know God. Believe what you read from the King James Bible.

 

8 September 2013, Monday and we are on our way to Friday and then Sunday will be here, yea! Hope you were able to attend your church this past Sunday to hear biblical preaching that glorified God as Jesus was lifted up and you were edified.  Read to know God. In reality you can never hear or learn any Bible Truth apart from the Bible. Seek the leadership of The Holy Spirit as you read so that when ANY person speaks to you about how God works YOU will be edified or warned. It is your opportunity to know Elohim as your creator and Jehovah as your Saviour.
Read and believe II Timothy 3:16-17. Read and believe John chapters 1, 3 & 10.

I've included Lesson # 37 from our One Year-365-Bible Class for your encouragement as you read this week. Believe what you read (BE) and then live (DO) as a "saved" child of The King, as a priest, a minister, ambassador and son of God. You are salt and light. 

According to Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament, chapter 20,pg 319, Isaiah: The Glorious Throne of Jehovah The Holy One, "of all the writing prophets, Isaiah is justly accounted the greatest. His prophecy is one of the longest, is quoted more frequently than any other in the New Testament, and he more often than any other prophet tell of the coming Messiah. Isaiah prophesied for about fifty years during very critical times of both kingdoms, Israel and Judah." Suggest we note verses1:4 and 6:3. Passages from this book are quoted by Jesus, Matthew, John The Baptist, the Apostle John, the Ethiopian treasurer and Paul.

*Extra Biblical thought;  The Galatians that accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ for salvation as preached by Paul were later infiltrated by some Jewish teachers teaching the requirement for circumcision- a form of legalism.

During these 7 days take time to seek God early while He may be found. Seek to be amazed at His handiwork as you read Psalm 19. Recall the promises that you  sense that are applicable in your life. Be quick to confess, repent and allow The Holy Spirit to expose your most intimate thoughts, desires and deeds. Believe what you read (BE) and then live (DO) as a child of The King, as a priest, a minister, ambassador and son of God. You are salt and light.   We all need to read to know Him as our Jehovah.

*Ecclesiastes: Vanity Under The Sun, But Hope in God, Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament pg 295; "Ecclesiastes is a book that investigates life and tells what kind of life is worth living.  It is the quest of a soul who sees only vanity all about him until his eyes are opened to the hope offered by God.

*INFO-- According to Jensen's Survey of The Old Testament, chapter 19, Song of Solomon: Union and Communion, pg 305; "A healthy balance in Bible study is maintained when the Son of Solomon is studied along with Ecclesiastes.
