Thursday, 26 November 2015.  Blessings are hoped for all of you that you Know God, have a settled and happy home, read you Bible every day to know God and have shared your blessings with others.

This week we begin the Book of Daniel and we will be exposed to the Bible facts that God does rule the world. We were encouraged by the Book of Ezekiel as we learned that all the facts that were given and recorded to the Jews, their enemies and applicable to us are that "ALL may know that God is The LORD." God loves you and wants all men to be redeemed.

This is the document for the class 29 November. Read your Bible to know God first, then consider the comments.

Lesson # 46 One Year Bible Comments VBC 23-29 November 2015

According to the Prophets; Isaiah stressed the Glorious Throne of Jehovah the Holy One; Jeremiah focused on the Book of Judgment and the Mourning over Afflictions in Lamentations, while Ezekiel recorded The Glory of the Lord so that “They shall know that I Am the LORD. We will find in Daniel That God rules the world.

Mon-23-Ezekiel 45:13-46:24, 1^st Peter 1:13 -2:10, Psalm 119:33-48 & Proverbs 28:11.Look for the attributes of God and apply them to the stewardship in your family. Accept and practice God's call for holiness. Compare the synonyms in Psalm 119 that describe the Word.

Tue-24-Ezekiel 47:1-48:35,1^st Peter 2:11-3:7, Psalm 119:49-64 & Proverbs 28:12-13. The land that the LORD promised to the Jews in the beginning is described and measured. Attend to the admonition of Peter concerning those things we should abstain from in our lives. We are to be examples of God's love. Have you said Psalm 119:54-60 back to God?

According to Jensen's Survey of the Old Testament, p379, Daniel is an apocalyptic book, the only Old Testament book so classified '5. Revelation is the one New Testament Apocalypse '6. The word apocalypse in its Greek form is translated as “revelation” in Revelation1:1. Apocalypse is a revelation, an unveiling. Those purposes concern particularly world events leading up to the Messianic Kingdom and consummation of things in the end of the world. The manner in which these events are unveiled is mainly by visions, where imagery and symbolism appear throughout. In Daniel the word “vision” appears twenty-two times; and “visions,” ten times. Consider the key verse to be 4:17 and “dream” as a key word.

Wed-25-Daniel 1:1-2:23, 1^st Peter 3:8-4:6, Psalm 119:65-80 & Proverbs 28:14. What example of faith did Daniel say and live out before his captors and his family?

What faith principle did the three Hebrews demonstrate by not bowing to the image? How is 1^st Peter 4:7 similar to what was facing the Jews before the burning fiery furnace? What is unusual about Psalm 119:90-91?How may a man prolong his days?

Fri-27-Daniel 4:1-37, 2^nd Peter 1:1-21, Psalm 119:97-112 & Proverbs 28:17-18. What did you learn about God's Omnipotence today? What attributes did Nebuchadnezzar finally ascribe to the LORD? What did Peter tells the Jews to add to their faith? How can a man “give all diligence” when increasing his faith?How is Peter's letter similar to that of Paul's instruction in 2^nd Timothy? What salvation is described in Proverbs 28?

Sat-28-Daniel 5:1-31, 2^nd Peter 2:1-22, Psalm 119:113-128 & Proverbs 28:19-20. How did Belshazzar show his ignorance and disrespect to the LORD today? How does this correspond to Hebrews 9:27? What hope for the godly is recorded in 2nd Peter? What stewardship principle is demonstrated in the Proverbs today?

Sun-29-Daniel 6:1-28, 2^nd Peter 3:1-18, Psalm 119:129-152 & Proverbs 28”21-22. What lifestyle did Daniel live before King Darius and the kingdom?

The discipline you have developed in and by feeding yourself and your family the Word of God will continue to protect you as you seek to meet with the LORD early each day with all your heart.

Tuesday, 24 November 2015 and still there are many who are confused about being saved. If you have read your Bible to know God it should have been made clear that the LORD caused the Old Testament to be written so that all men, nations and survivors would know that He was GOD!

After reading the New Testament all men should have been made aware that the promises of a Messiah. It was recorded that it had come to pass in the birth, life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of The Lord Jesus Christ. Now your responsibility is to respond to "HIS" ability to be and do all that He has said He would do to reconcile the lost.

All men are born LOST. Jesus came to earth to seek and save. Sense your lost condition, read and hear the invitation, believe and receive the Gift of forgiveness and eternal life by faith, trust the Bible and be thankful. This applies to ALL of you. The lesson is prepared for next week, but I have difficulty attaching to the blog. Check the schedule and read to know God. When you do believe, please let us know that we may pray particularly for you. Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving. God wants to bless you!

Wednesday, 18 November 2015, summer is going, winter is coming and there are many still in the trap of Satan's deception, that is, sure get salvation tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation. Read your Bible to know God.
 The promises and prophecies given by the LORD to Ezekiel for the Jews makes it clear and plain, judgment is coming, sin will be punish, some will live and restoration is coming One Day. If you are a Jew, Gentile or Christian, the wage of sin is death. The Christian will never die the second death! The Christian has the second birth. Jesus said, You must be born again.

This Lesson # 45 One Year Bible with Comments will be presented at VBC 22 November 2015.

Now that you have completed reading Hebrews, pause and consider the encouragement you have been given causing you to appreciate the better testament through Christ Jesus your Lord. Recall often that Jesus Christ is greater than the sacrificial system of the Jews. Read Hosea 14:2 “Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips”. SELAH, pray with your sacrifice of praise. Strive to enjoy fellowship with your Saviour.

Mon-16-Ezekiel 33:1-34:31, Hebrews 13:1-25, Psalm 115:1-18 & Proverbs 27:21-22. Each of us need to (must) accept the responsibility of being a watchman in our homes, families, churches, cities, state and sphere of influence, lest they perish. Tell them! Apply the admonishment of the letter to the Hebrews, be apt to hospitality. Allow Psalm 115:17-18 to cause you to pray fervently. You are someone's only hope. Be a watchman.

Tue-17-Ezekiel 35:1-36:38, James 1:1-18, Psalm 116:1-19 & Proverbs 27:23-27. Allow Ezekiel 36:24-32 to encourage you trust the promises of God for the Jews . Determine how and if these promises apply to you today. James 1:5-8 is the test for understanding and fellowship with God and man. Pray back Psalm 116. Be diligent in all that you do.

Wed-18-Ezekiel 37:1-38:23, James 1:19-2:17, Psalm 117:1-2 & Proverbs 28:1. After reading Ezekiel 37, pause-Selah, and shout “One Day” Praise The LORD. Consider the prophecy at chapter 38 and know that we, the saved, will watch this all come to pass from heaven. Allow James to instruct you in your daily conversation. One day Psalm 117 will be so.

Thu-19-Ezekiel 39:1-40:27, James 2:18-3:18, Psalm 112:1-18 & Proverbs 28:2. Enjoy reading the attributes of the LORD and rest in His promises to His people. Learn that God is providing for His people when they are in captivity. He loves us Unconditionally! James challenges all men to works because they are saved. No man can save himself by his works. Read and believe Psalm 118:8-9 and trust God as you read verses 14-18. He is faithful!

Fri-20-Ezekiel 40:28-41:26, James 4:1-17, Psalm 118:19-29 & Proverbs 28:3-5. One day the temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt and then destroyed again by man.

One Day the prophecies will be fulfilled just as they were spoken to Ezekiel. Learn what the Lord Sabaoth means to believers. Believe the effectual prayers availeth much when the conditions for praying are met. Learn and enjoy the words used by God to describe God's promises for hearers and believers.

Sun-22-Ezekiel 44:1-45:12, 1^st Peter 1:1-12, Psalm 119:17-32 & Proverbs 28:8-10. Receive Ezekiel 44:5 as if were spoken directly to you and seek to know God. As you read learn the difference between the holy and the profane. Jerusalem and the associated land belongs to the Jews as it was promised to Moses and the seed of Abraham. Peter is inspired to pen his letter to the scattered Jews causing them to remember what the LORD had done for them and what He had promised. Believe God in spite of circumstances. We all need to consider Psalm 119:17-19 in the good and bad times. Be careful in your conversation every day.


When you start a new Book or a Prophet's letter ask to whom is this written, what did it require of them, if and or how does this apply to me today, what attributes of God are plain, is there a sin to avoid or a promise to claim. Read your Bible to know God. Get right so that you may enter into the throne room of God.

Tuesday 10 November 20125, some are sighing, some crying, some sick, many dying and most of those without the benefit of the LORD's salvation for eternity, forgiveness of sin and never having to pay the penalty of no faith in God, suffering GOD's wrath forever.

Read to know God. Notice those things that easily distract you from reading, getting to know the LORD and affecting you obedience, write them down, claim a victory verse to defeat them. Suggest you give that distraction to God, cut the note into small pieces, dig a hole, burn the note, bury the ashes and forget where you buried your enemy.

Share your testimony, start where the Word of God was used to convict of sin. Report how Jesus Christ was expressed as your pardon from your sin debt. Tell how the Holy Spirit drew you to God the Father and how you heard and believed the Truth. Tell that you received the gift of eternal life from God. Share that you were grateful for the knowledge of salvation and that you wanted to tell everyone this good news.

If you need and want a Bible please let us know.

Yet, would you have repented, believed the rebuke and obeyed the prophet or the Apostle even to the point of being saved?

Because you have read your Bible to know God, enjoyed having fellowship with your Saviour, now follow the leadership of the Holy Ghost and show and tell what great things God has done for you. The language is used to communicate Truth to all men.

He is not willing that any perish.  Psalm 19 indicates that all men are aware that there is a GOD who has made all. If you will allow the Holy Spirit of God to show you your condition before Holy God, agree with God that you are a sinner and hear His offer of the free gift of redemption, you may seek his forgiveness and ask Him to pardon and save you.

 God demonstrated His love to and for you as He sent His only begotten Son to earth, born of a virgin according to the scriptures to live the perfect life and die the death on the cross, making payment for the sins of all men. God will accept you in the beloved if you believe and receive the gospel. Salvation is by faith. Salvation is not by works. If you will believe that God the Father raised Jesus, the Son from the grave the third day according to the scriptures, thou shalt be saved, Romans 10:8-13. Please believe.
