Verse 23: a shrewd person knows when to speak and when not to and does not brag about what he or she knows.

A Disciple: Jesus made friends, then he made disciples of those friends ................

Verses 34 through 36- the Scriptural message is not to blame, but it is the rejection or opposition of unbelieving family members that causes the rifts or divisions.

To Lou: I like your comment; sounds like you PRAY before you speak ...................

To Lillian; That's a beautiful comment

Verse 12: the Jews had become apathetic and complacent and we must guard against that attitude.

Verses 16 and 17- we may feel overwhelmed, but Jehovah God gives us the assurance that He and his son are backing us.

Verse 5- Jehovah God is so loving and patient in how he wants us to really think about what we are doing. Sometimes we can forget our priorities and we should be grateful for his patience and reminders.

Verse 9 brought out that Zerubbabel’s temple would be more glorious than Solomon’s temple. Zerubabbel’s temple stood longer than Solomon’s. Jesus taught at Zerubbabel’s temple and more people flocked to his temple to worship.

Verse 6 shows that we need Jehovah God’s blessing in our lives. We can only enjoy any material things we have because God allows us to exist and find pleasure in different things. Our gratitude and knowledge of this fact should move us to put spiritual interests first.

Verse 8-we don’t want to try to fit into this world by copying the fads and fashion trends that have been set up as the standard by people who don’t love Jehovah God.

Judas was chosen, but not by Jesus to betray him, God created us and gave us free will, when he put Adam and Eve in the Garden, it wasn't for them to fail, but the enemy came in, and therefore the fall of Man, It was in Judas heart and that's why the enemy chose him, it was already there and Jesus knew that, He(Judas) had a choice and he made it, and therefore paid the price for it.

Verse 6 shows that those who may not be practicing what is bad but fail to turn to Jehovah God are still put in line for an adverse judgement.

In verse 1 we see the importance of having a watchful attitude. We are living in very critical times and we must be alert to the Biblical meaning of world events.

Two forms of righteousness,"they being ignorant of God's righteousness,and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."Demons appearing as ministers of righteousness,based on works,2Cor.11:15."much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,Jesus Christ".Gifts are free!

No body escape the warth of GOD.

2017, we the people (as a whole) refuse to accept the facts that this chapter is all nations of the world doing exactly what GOD describe in this chapter, therefore GOD's judjement has already started (we donot see it) and any miniute of the hour it will enter our kitichen... nothing but the BLOOD Of JESUS will... Ready or not the hour is come like 8 months, 3 weeks, 6 days, it must come to past.

In the year 2017, all the sins mention in this chapter has become socially accepted by the USA, therefore the same GOD shall bring the same judjement (if not greater) on USA because like dirty lanundry the USA is ready for washing. The judgemnt can start any miniute of any hour of the day... WOW, WOW, WOW!

thru troubles and trials give GOD praise at all times , HE will never leave you nor forsake you.

I love all of John's Writing s

Jot (cont.) Also as far as taking the Lord Jesus' words literally; AMEN! If we don't literally obey His words, we will not be saved! By Jesus' words we are cleansed every whit from sin, and made a new creation. By the words of Jesus Christ, the heavens and the earth were created; and there is nothing that exists that hasn't come into being, and is sustained in its existence, but BY JESUS' WORDS!

Jot; Just in case there are actually multitudes of sincere Believers with good and honest hearts; who really do think deeply about WHAT they pray; don't you think it might be a "little" arrogant to presume that praying the "Our Father" is heathen repetition? Leading the Assembly in prayer of the very words of our Lord is a good thing! Maybe you need to start praying, instead of attacking prayer.

It is good to know that God provided a way to heaven through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus would not lie and would not come to earth just to be labeled a good person, prophet, or miracle worker. He came to end spiritual death for all those that would rely on His blood sacrifice for their salvation. Good works is not the answer if so than his blood is powerless. Works are corruptible not His blood

The Earth And The Heaven was here sometime before the Creation of the HOSTS of the Earth.

I'm so thankful to God for the death and resurrection of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. How wonderful to be under Grace than the burden of the Law!

God promises are real and amen God promises to send his angels and protect us and nothing by means shall hurt us.to trust in God

Wonderful that it is Christ who saves through his death and resurrection. Although it is correct to be humble and sincere when coming to God through Christ the emphasis should solely be on his death and resurrection. Romans 9:16 “ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” God bless you all and Praise to Almighty God for his grace and mercy.

The error of ascribing moving the word "vile" from verse 20 to verse 21 began with the printing of the Coverdale Bible in 1535 A.D.

Originally the word "vile", found in verse 21 both here and in most Bibles, was in verse 20 it was a modifier to the middle of the three kings of the north, verses 19-21. Only the Wycliffe and the Douay-Rheims versions retain this accurate description. I witnessed the rape incest of the king of verse 20 upon the wife of the king of verse 19 while in her womb, being the king of verse 21.

Verse 7: "when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do" - Then in verses 10 to 13 he gives an EXAMPLE of a righteous prayer..
Certain denominations then REPEAT the EXAMPLE word for word for CENTURIES taking Jesus' words literally! Such a contradiction. And since when was the savior EVER literal?! His entire gospel was told in metaphors.
Our prayers should be unique and from the heart.
