Lesson # 48  One Year 365 Bible Class  (read 20-26 Nov)   VBC    26 November 2017 

Mon-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 temple will be rebuilt and the LORD will be there. One day and for a thousand years! Read and learn to pray. Is your heart purified? Allow James 4:17 to direct your life. Give thanks 

Tue-21-Ezekiel 42:1-43:27, James 5:1-20, Psalm 119:1-16 & Proverbs 28:6-7. One Day the glory of the LORD God will enter Jerusalem! 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.

Wed-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 belong 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.

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. 

Thu-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.

Fri-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.

Sat-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? How did the LORD show his approval of Daniel? Did you compare Daniel's testimony to Peter's instruction to the Jews as given in chapter 3? Are you happy? 

Sun-26-Daniel 2:24-3:30. 1^st Peter 4:7-5:14, Psalm 119:81-96 & Proverbs 28:15-16. What attributes of God did Daniel express to the King concerning his dream? 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?

Tuesday 14 November 2017 and I have been in several days of medical and dental events and have fallen behind, please forgive me. Today is the best day I've had since 6 Nov.  Hopefully my absence has not hindered you in your pursuit of knowledge of God by reading YOUR BIBLE EVERY DAY TO KNOW HIM. I have posted the reading and lessons for you up to Sunday 19 November. Again I strongly urge you to read the Bible reading every day before striving with the lessons.

The WHOLE purpose of this blog is to challenge you to a disciplined life of reading to know God. The result desired is that you see yourself undone before the thrice holy God, you confess your sin of unbelief, repent from self unto God,  see the provision of salvation in Jesus Christ as Lord and ask for God's favor in salvation. II Corinthians 5:17-21, John 1:1-12, 3:1-36 and Ephesians 2:8-10. Thank you for hearing this warning for each of us will be with God 100 years from NOW  or you will be in hell away from God for ever.

James will cause us to consider our faith as we face our trials. James was half brother to Jesus, converted after the death/resurrection of Jesus and was one of the leaders in the Jerusalem church.

Read John 3:1-36. You do not have a guarantee that you will live until 23:59:59 December 31. This is the day for salvation. My wife and I were born again 30 October 1977. Look at my personal testimony in the blog and read the scriptures that the Lord Jesus Christ caused men to use/share with me about sin and salvation. These verses will show you the way to eternal life if you read, believe and the Holy Spirit points you to God The Father so that you may be reconciled to God The Father through Jesus Christ The Son  -->> II Corinthians 5:17-21.
