<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Hy het nooit 'n begin gehad nie. Elke kind vra: "Wie het God (Yahweh) gemaak?" En elke wyse ouer sê: "Niemand het God (Yahweh) gemaak nie. God (Yahweh) bestaan bloot eenvoudig. En het altyd bestaan - Geen begin nie. "</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. God (Yahweh) sal nooit eindig nie. As Hy nie ontstaan het nie, kan Hy nie vergaan nie, want Hy IS.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. God (Yahweh) is ‘n absolute realiteit. Daar is geen werklikheid voor Hom nie. Daar is geen werklikheid buite Hom nie, tensy dit Sy wil is. Hy is alles wat vir ewig was. Geen ruimte, geen heelal, geen leegheid nie. Slegs God (Yahweh).</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. God (Yahweh) is heeltemal onafhanklik. Hy hang af van niks om Hom te vorm of te ondersteun of Hom raad te gee of Hom te maak wat Hy is nie.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Alles wat nie God (Yahweh) is nie, hang heeltemal van God (Yahweh) af. Die hele heelal is heeltemal sekondêr. Dit is tot stand gebring deur God (Yahweh) en bly in stand op God (Yahweh) alleen se besluit om dit in stand te hou.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Die heelal is, in vergelyking met God (Yahweh), niks nie. ‘n Ongedifferenteerde werklikheid is Hy. Absolute of gedifferenteerde werklikheid is bloot ‘n skaduwee van die Ongedifferenteerde werklikheid. Wat ons as werklikheid ervaar is 'n eggo na die donderweer. Alles wat ons in hierdie wêreld en in die sterrestelsels in verwondering laat staan, is in vergelyking met God (Yahweh) - niks nie.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. God (Yahweh) is konstant. Hy is gister en vandag dieselfde en vir ewig. Hy kan nie verbeter word nie. Hy word niks nuuts nie. Hy is wie Hy is.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. God (Yahweh) is die absolute standaard van waarheid en goedheid en skoonheid. Daar is geen wetboek waarna Hy kyk wat reg is nie. Geen almanak om feite vas te stel nie. Geen gilde om te bepaal wat uitstekend of pragtig is nie. Hy self is die standaard van wat reg is, wat waar is, wat goed en mooi is.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. God (Yahweh) doen alles wat Hy behaag en dit is altyd reg en altyd mooi en altyd in ooreenstemming met die waarheid. Alle realiteit wat buite Hom is, het Hy geskep en ontwerp en regeer Hy as die absolute werklikheid. Hy is dus heeltemal vry van enige beperkinge wat nie voortspruit uit sy eie wil nie.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. God (Yahweh) is die belangrikste en mees waardevolle werklikheid en persona in die heelal. Hy is die van bewondering en genot, verdien meer belangstelling en aandag as alle ander realiteite, insluitende die hele heelal.</div>

THE BEGINNING

05 April Sheeple 0

<div class="zemanta-img">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The desire of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Yahweh">Yahweh</a>’s heart is expressed in Creation. Yahweh’s goal, Yahweh’s plan, and Yahweh’s Predetermined Will are all made known in His universal Creation. Yet, Creation does not explain itself, under the natural laws. It cannot do so; its secrets should be unraveled by the created.</span></h4>
<br />
<a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LunarEclipse.gif" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Lunar Eclipse" class="zemanta-img-configured" height="400" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/LunarEclipse.gif" width="400" /></a>Before the beginning, there was but one consciousness, that of Yahweh, whose nature cannot be conveyed in language. In the beginning, the Creating Word had been uttered. The Earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Yahweh was hovering over the face of the waters. Both Egyptian and Christian religions believe that all that is needed to start the process of Creation is nothing and Spirit, and when those two concepts are brought together, then all things can be created. The Egyptians also believed in the immortality of the soul, worshipped triads, or groups of three gods, and they used the cross, or ankh, a symbol of life.<br />
<br />
Think back to the very beginning of the Bible. It is so famous, so well-known, and still so very rich. It is difficult to picture what is described here, what is thus beyond our ability to grasp. We learn that in the beginning all was dark and shapeless. Everything existed in a state of inertia: defined in Physics as:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Inertia is a property of matter by which it keeps in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight course unless that nation is exchanged by an external power.”</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Can any scientist define the very nature of force, other than, as that which sets matter in motion? But if force be that which sets matter in motion, it cannot itself be material, if the fundamental law of motion be true that matter at rest remains at rest. Unless, therefore, the motions of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Nature">material universe</a> be the result of an immaterial force impressing itself upon matter. Our whole conception of dynamical science is rotten to the core.<br />
<br />
Yahweh then took thought and brought into being within Himself the Universal Womb of Creation. This generated power which brought forth Light, and formed a substance, separated into two forms of energy through being impregnated with the Spirit of Yahweh. The Universe having been created purposefully, it had to have had an objective. Creation reveals God’s eternal purpose; it shows us what Yahweh is truly after.<br />
<br />
Straight off, the Spirit of Yahweh moved over the face of the earth, but was not of this world. It bore all things and was in all things, but on Earth, could not be apart from anything. A command was given and this became the Law. The Creation miracle is described in:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the beginning Elohim created the Heaven and the Earth.</span><span style="font-size: large;">(<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_1%3A1" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Genesis 1:1">Genesis 1:1</a>)</span></blockquote>
<br />
Now within the Universal Womb was heat, substance and life, and encompassing it was the Word which is the Law. Henceforth, activity was controlled in harmonious rhythm. We are just at the right distance from our Sun so that temperatures are contributing to life. We hold the correct atmospheric pressure for liquid water at our surface. The Law divided the materializing chaos from Yahweh and then set up the boundaries of the Eternal Spheres. Before all had been unchanging. In a state of inertia.<br />
<br />
Moses explains in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_creation_narrative" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Genesis creation narrative">Genesis 1</a> that the evening & the morning were the first day do in fact prove that God created time.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For by him 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:<br />
(Colossians 1:16)</blockquote>
</blockquote>
or in Greek by (Hebrews 1:2) τους (THE) αιωνας (WORLDS) εποιησεν (HE MADE)<br />
<br />
Prove that Yahweh created time. Earlier there was no time as change is time. We know and are again made aware that all things are by nature, finite. They have a beginning, middle and end. Yahweh is the beginning and the end, beyond time, beyond the reach of mortals. Yet, there was no time before Creation, since the world was brought into being with time rather than in time. God is beyond the boundaries of time.<br />
<br />
The word “Science” comes from the Latin word scientia meaning “knowledge.” What we call “Science” seeks to recognize, explain, and classify knowledge of the material world. Yahweh, the Lord of the celestial sphere and the Earth, is also the God of natural sciences. God, in His Word, encourages man to consider the true sciences. For the invisible things of Him from the foundation of the Universe are clearly examined, being understood by the things that are made, even his everlasting power and Godhead; so that they are without regret. (Rom. 1:20). Scripture also says, “Thy word is Truth” (John 17:17). Hence there is no conflict between true science and the true teaching of the Bible.<br />
<br />
One word that haunts discussion of our astonishing capacity to make sense of the Universe is the word <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Logos">Logos</a>. In Western civilization, its most notable occurrence is in the extraordinary opening verse of the Gospel according to John: “In the beginning was the Logos.” This has kept thousands of commentators busy, because Logos, which is often translated ‘word’ or ‘reason’, do a lot of work – encompassing the Word that was Yahweh’s command that the Universe should come into being as well as the Word that was made Flesh in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_Christ" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Body of Christ">Body of Christ</a> in fulfilment of a Promise of salvation. The Logos is the origin of everything. God (created)energy, time (in the beginning), matter (Earth) and space (Heavens).<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into The Kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his Blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of all Creation: For by him 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: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the Body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.<br />
(Colossians 1:13-18)</blockquote>
<br />
There came about great land masses and high mountains, wide barren places and heaving waters. In Earth’s crust and you can dig up a selection of radioactive elements. While we might think of the earth’s magnetic field as protecting us from radiation, it does little to protect us from what is right under our feet. The core of the earth is a solid lump of nickel and iron, rotating in a sea of molten iron and nickel. Most of the radioisotopes on Earth reside in the core, where the heat from their decay keeps the core molten, the tectonic plates moving, and the dynamo deep in the Earth rotates. This rotation functions the same way winding up a handheld generator does, giving Earth an enormous magnetic field that extends up to 50,000 kilometers out into space. If it were not for radioisotopes, the core would cool, the magnetic field would disappear. The magnetic field is crucial for life on Earth, as without it we would be exposed to the full force of the Sun’s radiation, and the earth would slowly become uninhabitable.<br />
<br />
We have exactly the right amount of water so that our Universe has both oceans and habitable continents. Scientists think Earth was a dry rock, so where did this essential chemical, H2O, come from? The undeniable importance of water as a medium for developing life and that the earth's dis-tance from the Sun allowed a surface temperature just capable of maintaining water as a liquid, is in itself so miraculous it can act as a standalone factual proof of Divine intelligent design. Every one to two years, everything is in precise alignment, and we can witness the spectacular event known to us as a total solar eclipse. Coincidentally, while the sun’s width is about four hundred times larger than that of the moon, the sun is also about four hundred times further away. This makes the sun and the moon appear almost identical in size when seen from Earth. The sun having a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers and the moon having a diameter of barely 3,475 kilometers, it seems almost impossible that the moon is able to block the sun’s light. But it does! It appears that we are simply in the right place at the right time to witness this phenomenon.<br />
<br />
Fertile greenness covered the country and abundant life swarmed in the oceans and swamps with reeds. While Earth may not be the biggest planet in the system, it is the biggest rocky planet in the solar system, and also the densest. Therefore, Earth has by far the highest surface gravity of any terrestrial object in the solar system. Metals are hidden in the rocks and precious stones in the soil. We had just the right balance of heavy elements and organic molecules — for life to arise. The core was too light. Today, researchers continue to guess at which elements account for the density deficit beneath our feet.Amber and silver were scattered and secreted. There was metal for tools and forest of lumber. Available was stone for every purpose, for now, Earth throbbed with the vitality of life. Everything was prepared, everything was ready, and now Earth awaited the coming of the human race.<br />
<br />
Humanity, was then created from dust, or earthly substance alone. Life started and sustained it for our planet’s entire history, and gave rise to us: sentient, selfaware creatures. And so, there was the beginning and then the garden, and it was in this very garden man found himself literally as well as figuratively. Yahweh ensured that His Universe and His chosen species should be so designed, that the latter should make sense of the former. The most basic life components, such as amino acids and vitamins, have been found on ice grains inside asteroids and in the most extreme environments on Earth. Figuring out how these parts combined to form the first life is one of biology's biggest hurdles.<br />
<br />
The Creation of man is described as the pinnacle of Yahweh's creative activity. God has identified human beings at the focal point of his attention, to redeem them for Himself and to live with them always. The nature of man on Earth was shaped after the nature of things in Heaven, and humans possessed all things held as potential within himself, except Divine life. But he was yet an untrained, undisciplined child, still nurtured simply upon the comforting embrace of the visible, which is Earth and the material Universe.<br />
<br />
However, human beings could not know things, not of Earth. Spirit alone, could not soothe him. They were granted the exclusive right of regular communication with Yahweh (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:8) One adult male and one female was appointed, not entirely as the progenitors of our race but also as Yahweh's agents, His curators and caretakers over the Cosmos and they would hold dominion over Yahweh's complete earthly estate. He breathed into man the breath of Eternal Life. As the sun makes light and Fire spread heat, so does the Central Light give forth a unseeable glow, and this our fathers called the Breath of Yahweh. Into Adam’s sleeping Body Yahweh implanted a figment of Himself, the Seed of a Sensitive consciousness/soul and within him was a spark from that Creator Source. A human being “the mortal” became human beings “the heir of Yahweh”. Scripture explicitly differentiates the origin of soul from the origin of the Body (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Isaiah 42:5; Zechariah 12:1; Hebrews 12:9).<br />
<br />
As the Spirit filled the Body of man, so did Yahweh fill His Creation. Aristotle uses his familiar matter/form distinction to define First actuality as a capacity to enlist in an action. They both were made with a certain configuration, with the characteristics of mind, emotions, personality, and will. Since form is what makes matter “the sensitive soul“ is the form of a living thing. Not its shape, but its actuality. Man, were created "in His image" (Gene-sis1:26-27), and were made creative, imaginative, inventive, artistic, capable of loving and being loved and above all, able to worship. Had human beings not been created, who would have known Yahweh's Wisdom and power? Thus, if we have been made in “His image” Yahweh’s form must also consist of Yahweh’s actuality or potential. An unlimited potential! This brought about the possibility that man, likewise, could take an environment contrary to the perfect ways of Yahweh, due to the wrong motivational intent. When Yahweh raised man up from among the beasts, choosing him as His heir and endowing him with an immortal Spirit, the limited understanding of man saw imperfection in that which was stark for its determination. As long as Theosophy, the science of the Spirit, has not enlarged our conceptions, and the art of laying bare the soul, our eyes will be left unopened.<br />
 <br />
There are only three levels of consciousness that Earth is actually experiencing right now. The First level is primal, the second level is our present consciousness, and the third level is the Divine Spirit, the one we are about to enter. The Bible never confuses Spirit and Soul as though they are the same. After the Fall, there were only two human conditions left around the Earth; the Body and the Soul.

Are you satisfied with your current situation or would you like to continue?<br />
<br />
Happy or unhappy because of your financial situation, your social standing, your culture, your philosophical conviction, a human love, etc. Why is there evil in the world? Do you believe in the existence of a god? So where does the evil come from? Is He material or Spirit? Why did God create? What is the link between him and us? Can he help you in your search? Is he silent or does he reveal Himself? What, then, of the many Spiritual paths that exist, should we choose?<br />
<br />

But if you are thirsty for the discovery of the Truth that goes further, then you must go all-out. Truth and happiness are inseparable. You will rise from the darkness to see the Light; you have all the tools necessary to break the chains of secularity, mediocrity and banality.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
One has to start from the following behaviors, if your search is expected to produce results:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Deep longing to know the Truth. He who has no thirst cannot be given anything.</li>
<li>Honesty: whole and deliberate use of the will and the intelligence to discover the Truth and to turn to it, with, or even without repentance and reservations.</li>
<li>Courage to gradually unlearn and break old habits, friendships, social ideas and acquaintances, because they slow the mental development and liberation of the soul.</li>
<li>Understanding that there is only one, objective Truth. A concept and its opposite cannot both be true. Nor can one create his own subjective Truth. The sun exists or it does not exist. The same applies to God.</li>
<li>Responsibility. Understand freedom of choice and bear the responsibility for its decision. The ability to accept this, testifies to a trustworthy maturity.</li>
<li>Do not be distracted by the worries of everyday life. The Spiritual way will introduce you to the Spiritual dimension and open the way for you to grow into this dimension in all freedom that you were given at inception.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Three levels of your persona:<br />
<br />
The physical level affects the physical life: vitality, health, robustness, good reflexes, etc. In the nutritional sector one should cultivate the quality and quantity of the food to prevent overloading and Body filling, the cause of diseases. One should cultivate the vitality of the Body through movement and gymnastics: a healthy Body for a healthy mind.<br />
<br />
Our mental level affects the intellectual and sentient life of the Body and soul: the intellect embraces the realm of intelligence, the capacity for attention and concentration, the memory, the imagination, etc. The emotional life concerns love. The love of oneself and others that must be balanced. It is a cautious and selective companion - according to the moral qualities of others - supports our development as individuals<br />
The Spiritual level moves the mind and holds the Spiritual life. This level guides our whole character. If we are well informed at this level, contentment will irradiate our whole being. That is why this level is the most important. It must be grasped firmly to give it the perfection of Truth. This is the goal of our search.<br />
<br />
A perfect equilibrium must prevail between these three elements. To deal only with one plane and to neglect the other, disturbs our whole being. Any imbalance disturbs the human disposition. As a starting point, you have to be aware of the Order of these three levels. The most important is the Spiritual, then the psychological, and finally the physical plane. This, last part of our person, the Body, is certainly important too. It is the logical part of our persona that can obscure the rest of our being. Since the physical is visible and immediate, there is a risk that the rest will be covered, and that we struggle to find the other parts. The Body, however, should serve as a means to discover the two other indiscernible dimensions. They have a vital meaning which is much greater than the material. Therefore, we must strive to make a tool of discovery from the Body, the seat of soul and Spirit; by disciplining it, coaching it, and guiding it from within, with Divine Wisdom acquired in the Divine Scriptures, by Divine Spiritual interpretation.<br />
<br />
Are you ready, after you have thought about this introduction, to search through this wisdom? Is this pure curiosity, or with the firm determination to discover yourself or to become a new Creation? You will be enriched and ripened, and so far, that you will not recognize the “old you” in you. If your heart says yes, then do not delay. Answer this call. If you are determined, you will discover the world of happiness in which many people no longer believe, for it is not of this material world, but it is still in this world. It is up to you to discover them.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Scriptures predicted that Jesus will manifest Himself again to explain the ultimate purposes of God’s remaining mysteries. These plans are expressed in one word: Restoration. This restoration must be done by the illumination of the Holy Scriptures. Those who do not want to take the trouble to scrutinize these Scriptures and understand them have no hope<br />
<br />
Paul wrote to Timothy:<br />
<br />
<br />
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in the Messiah Yahshua. All scripture given by inspiration of Yahweh, indeed is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of Elohim may be complete, throughly furnished unto all good works.<br />
(2 Timothy 3:15-17)<br />

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Jesus even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And God raised us up with Jesus and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Jesus Christ, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Jesus Christ. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Jesus Christ to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Therefore, remember that formerly you who are gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands,) remember that at that time you were separate from Jesus, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Jesus Christ you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Jesus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the father by one spirit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his spirit.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Word of Yahweh uses Prophets to talk to His people. We find that approximately one third of the Bible is dedicated to these servants of the Almighty, warning us and translating Yahweh's plans. Besides the Bible, there are many nations who have recognized prophets that were not recorded in the biblical Canons, yet delivered Inspired word from the Creator.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">God speaking is not just God talking. When God speaks, what God says comes to be. So, when a prophet speaks a Word of God, he or she is not merely transferring a message. It is a proclamation of a change to come that allows the seed of the change to germinate. It becomes an act of creation. It is an announcement of the future, yes, but rather than merely predicting the future, creates the future. So, we find that Prophets almost Remember the future as if it be done!</span><br>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Que. What is significant about Israel becoming a nation in 1948?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. It fulfilled such prophecies as Ezekiel 36 and 37 and heralded the soon end of the age. Palestine was a desert land before Israel recently made it "like the garden of Eden."</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 36:33-35 (ASV) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded. And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Que. What is the connection between the measuring of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and Israel becoming a nation, aside from there being 1260 years plus 1260 years?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. The prophecy of Ezekiel 36 and 37 about the return of Israel to her own land flows naturally into the subject of the rebuilding of the temple in Ezekiel 40. Simply put, Israel is not fully restored until God Himself sits within His temple in Jerusalem. Thus, there needs to be a temple. The temple is the climax of a restored Israel. Note the last verses of Ezekiel 37.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">There has been some confusion concerning what I believe about when Ezekiel's temple will be rebuilt. I try to clear up that matter on the forum. Click here. In a nutshell, there will be a temple or sanctuary desecrated by antichrist, and then there will also be the temple of Ezekiel built during the Millennium. Why it will be rebuilt is also discussed on the forum!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Eze 37:27-28 My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Que. Why wasn't Israel restored completed in 1948, including the temple mount?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. In Ezekiel's account of the fall of Jerusalem, God's Spirit departs from the temple and leaves Jerusalem in specific stages (beginning 592 BC) and then comes back in stages 19 years later in 573 BC, (Ezek. 8, 40). In the same way, Israel is now being restored in stages --- each stage on a timeframe predicted by the bible. The next stage in God's plan for Jerusalem also happened exactly 19 years after Israel became a nation in 1948: The 1967, Six-Day War.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The 1967, Six-Day War</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The next stage in Israel's restoration was the six-day war waged exactly 19 years later, to the day on the 360 calendar, June 5-10, 1967. In the war, the temple mount was captured along with east Jerusalem. Thus, June 5th, 1967, was also Pentecost on the 360 calendar.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Que. But why 19 years later?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ans. Because, from Ezekiel's vision about the temple (573 BC) until when Israel became a nation are 1260 + 1260 years, that is 2520 years. (2520 days represents a seven-year period on the 360 calendar. {360 x 7 = 2520 days.}) Thus, 2520 years, plus 19 more years equals 2539. And so, from 573 BC to 1967 are 2539 years.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">So, what's important about 2539 years?</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">It happens that seven years on the regular Jewish calendar amounts to 2539 days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly 2539 days later on the regular Jewish calendar, (i.e., 1948-1955). And the same is true of the seventh anniversary of the 1967 War, (i.e., 1967-1974). Hence, in God's heavenly schematic, 2539 days correspond to the previous 2539 years back to the prophecy of Ezekiel in 573 BC! (The 1973 Yom Kippur war fits into this scheme too, but to stay focused on 1948 we will not digress.) </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, in stage one of Jerusalem's restoration, seven years of years on the 360 calendar transpired from Ezekiel's vision of the temple unto when Israel became a nation. Likewise, in the next stage of taking the remainder of Jerusalem, seven-years of years again transpired, except this time on the regular Jewish calendar. </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">And moreover, as said, on the 360 calendar, the day on both of these occasions was "Pentecost"  that is, both in 1948 and 1967 -- when West Jerusalem, and then East Jerusalem, fell into Israel's hands!</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">(There are numerous other reasons why the Six-Day War happened when it did. In part, it has to do with the span of time from when Jerusalem fell to Babylon in 586 BC, and the 1290 of Daniel 12, and the leap month, and the symbolic-day-years. But of these things we cannot digress now! Also note that from 592 BC, when God's Spirit began to leave the temple in stages, unto 1948 are also 2539 years! </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">One final note: On the regular Jewish calendar, the 1967 War began on the anniversary of when Jesus rose up into heaven {Iyar 16}, which was 40 days after His resurrection, Acts 1. However, as said earlier, on the 360 calendar Iyar 16 happened to be the 65th day of the year in 1967, which is Pentecost.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Here are the words that Jesus spoke, just before he ascended up to heaven on Iyar 16 --- His last words were to 'wait until Pentecost when the Spirit would be poured out'. And the last question he was answering at the time was, 'When will the kingdom be restored to Israel?' </span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, contained in the last words of Jesus about the restoration of Israel, (and Jerusalem in particular), were hidden two clues as to when it would happen, these two clues were the two anniversary dates of when Israel would begin to be restored in 1948 and 1967.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">(Act 1:6-8) "They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (For further investigation, calculate the prophecy and timing of Daniel 2.)</span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Interestingly, seven days after Iyar 18, 1967, when Jerusalem was restored, is Pentecost on the regular Jewish calendar.)</span></td></tr>

Toe die apostels die skares aangespreek het en verkondig het van die Evangelie, het hulle dit nie gedoen om roem, rykdom of enige vergoeding nie. Nog minder was hulle deel van een of ander politieke party of sosiale beweging wat graag steun wou verkry in hulle saak teen die owerhede nie. Hulle praat hier as Ooggetuies van die majesteit van Jesus. Hulle het met oortuiging hulle werke, families en alle besittings prysgegee, hulle “verset” teen die owerhede van die dag en in hulle eie politieke, sosiale en kerkverband, lynreg teen alles en almal se gryn in beweeg. <o:p></o:p></div>

Om dit in perspektief te sien moet mens dit vergelyk met ‘n hedendaagse situasie waar ons onder owerhede funksioneer wat ons vyandig gesind is, waar ons slegs die beskerming van ons kerke, kultuurgroepe en families geniet, of ons word totaal plat getrap. Ja, selfs in ‘n soortgelyke situasie as ons, moes die mense getuig van hoop, lewensverwagting en wonderwerke, terwyl hulle vasgehou het aan die Ultra-moderne idee van ‘n Verlosser wat aarde toe gekom het en nou vir al die mense se sondes kom betaal het.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
In realiteit, sou mens vergewe kon word om hierdie aksies in ‘n hedendaagse situasie as totale waansin of miskien bietjie Bi-poler te sien. Dit sou hulle nie net totaal afsny van hulle gerespekteerde kerkleiers nie maar hulle het effektief hulle eie doodsvonnis geteken! Want soos die <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrikaners" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Afrikaners">Afrikaner</a> in 2016, was hulle skuldig aan volksveraaing en wette van die kerk wat die doodsvonnis regverdig het, deur slegs hulle geloofsoortuigings bekend te maak. Geloofsoortuigings wat die verbondsvolk of eersgebore seun van nasies vir bykans 3500 jaar reeds nagevolg het.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maar as jy met jou eie oe gesien en eie ore gehoor het wat hulle gehoor en gesien het, sou jy sekerlik ook glo.<br />
<br />
Petrus vertel ons van ‘n klein subkultuur wat ontwikkel het waar groepies mense hulle voorbeeld gevolg en hulle aardse besittings prysgegee het om die volgelinge van Jesus finansieel te onderhou. Die eerste bekeerdes het bymekaar gekom, en alles gemeenskaplik besit. Hulle het alle eiendom en besittings verkoop en die opbrengs verdeel tussen mekaar en aan elkeen wat iets nodig gehad het, is gegee. Dag in en dag uit het hulle as ‘n eenheid volhard en hulle kos, klere en alles gedeel. Hulle het van huis tot huis bidure gehou en nagmaal gebruik en in blydskap die Magtige <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="God">God</a> geprys en geloof vir sy goedheid. Ja, selfs diegene wat hulleself net so bietjie wou terughou het op die plek tot sterwe gekom. Handelinge 5 vertel ‘n storie waar Ananias en sy vrou Safira, net so klein bietjie geld teruggehou het nadat hulle hulle eiendom verkoop het en die geld met die gemeenskap gedeel het. Toe Petrus vra waarom hy nie alles gegee het nie, het hy geweet daar’s geen manier wat hy gaan kan verduidelik wat sy motivering was nie. Petrus herhinder hom dadelik dat nie vir mense gelieg het nie maar vir God self. Binne oomblikke nadat hy die woorde gehoor het, slaan hy morsdood neer. Sy vrou Safira kom so drie ure later daar aan, seker van een of ander winkel af omdat sy bietjie shopping geld moes gaan uitgee, vra waar Annanias is. Petrus vra haar dieselfde tipe vraag as Annanias en hy laat haar sommer weet sy is volgende. Sy woorde was skaars koud of sy slaan neer en sterf op die plek.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Nou mag dit klink of die Petrus se eie werk was, maar hier word ons eintlik bewus van ‘n kennis of wete wat Petrus oor beskik het van wat gaan gebeur in die nabye toekoms, eerder as wat sy eie aksies gaan wees. Die presiese werking van die wonder is hier baie interressant; God, nie Petrus nie, het hierdie twee mense se lewe ge-eis op grond van hulle bedekte motiewe. Petrus, Christus, alle appostels het mense genees, vergewe en gesond gemaak, maar hier word mense op grond van een oortreding onmiddelik ter dood veroordeel. Dit klink sommer onmiddelik hier of ons weer uit die ou testament lees waar wette met die dood gestraf was. Die kontrasterende gedagte sal menige atheis laat lekker kry en hy gaan verseker die argument lig dat God nie ‘n vredeliewende teddybeer is wat net vreugde, vrede en vergifnis verkondig nie. Selfs Jesus, met wie se lewe hulle vervul was, het nie sulke dinge gedoen nie. Alhoewel Petrus, soos ander apostels, oor ‘n vermoe beskik het om wondere te doen, is dit op nadere inspeksie opvallend om te sien ons dat dit eerder God is wat dit laat gebeur en Petrus se gedrag na die voorval beklemtoon dat hy nie homself sien as die person wat die besluit geneem het nie en hy bloot aangaan asof niks gebeur het nie! <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So word petrus opgesluit in ‘n tronk en deur die nag gaan die tronk deure oop en hulle gaan reguit temple toe. Dieselfde temple wat laaste Sabat nog geleer het jy mag <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragrammaton" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Tetragrammaton">YHVH</a> alleen aanbid, word hier nou ‘n nuwe denkrigting gepreek. Soos die owerhede bewus word die gevangenis het ontsnap, gaan kry hulle hulle binne in dieselfde kerk wat hulle wil laat toesluit. Petrus antwoord hier op ‘n vraag van die owerhede met ‘n baie sterk geloofsoortuiging; “Ons moet aan God meer gehoorsaam wees as aan die mense. Die God van ons voorvaarders het Jesus opgewek, wat julle omgebring het en deur Hom aan die kruis te laat hang”.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Loop ons die pad, wat Petrus ons aangewys het? Reageer ons in ons gemeenskappe soos die apostels?<br />
Steur ons onsself nog aan professie?</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The power of the word of God is best appreciated when you consider the work of creation. “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap; He layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” Ps. 33:6-9.</blockquote>
<br /><br />From this it is plain to see that the entire material of the earth and all that is in it, sprang from the word of God. We cannot comprehend the power of Divinity, but we can see from what is plainly declared, that the word of the Lord is not empty air, but that it is real substance. It is as though the world existed in the word, before it took the shape that it’s in now. When God’s word was uttered, then the earth and the heavens came into existence.<br /><div>
<br />When the word of God names something, then the thing that is named is formed. Whatever is described by the word, exists in that word. Thus it is impossible for God to lie, for His word makes the thing so. We read in Rom. 4:17 that God “calleth those things that be not as though they were.” That is something that only God can do. It is true that we sometimes undertake it, but our word does not make the thing so. When you speak of a thing that is not as though it were, there is only one word that can be used to describe your action. It is a lie. But God cannot lie, yet He speaks of those things that do not exist as though they did. God speaks of something that has no existence. He calls it by name, as though it were well known. The instant that His word goes forth, that instant the thing exists.<br /><br /><br />Consider this text carefully. “He spake and it was.” Not that He spake, and after that it was performed, as a superficial reading of the texts might lead you to think. That idea would not be gained if the translators had not inserted the word “done,” in italics. It is true that it was done then, but it was the word of the Lord that did it. The idea would be conveyed better by translating the passage literally, as we have, “He spake, and it was.” As soon as He spake, everything was there. Whatever God’s word says, is, because His word creates the thing.<br />This is why in prophecy things are often spoken of as already done. He speaks of those things that haven’t happened yet as though they were already done. This is not because they exist in His purpose, but because they exist in His word. They are as freely in existence as they can ever be, although they do not yet appear to human sight.<br /><br /><br />It is for this reason that the word of the Lord is strength and comfort to those who believe in it; for the word which is written in the Bible is the word of God, the same as that which created the heavens and the earth. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God.” It is “God breathed.” Now remember that “by the word of the Lord the heavens were made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” The breath of God, which has creative energy in it, is that which gives us the precepts and promises of the Bible.<br /><br /><br />That creative word is the power of the Gospel. For the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, to everyone that believes; and the power of God is revealed in the things that are made. See Rom. 1:16, 20. The power of redemption is the power of creation, for redemption is creation. Thus, the Psalmist prayed, “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” Ps. 51:10. The apostle Paul says that “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.” 2 Cor. 5:17.<br /><br /><br />What is this new creation that is brought about in the Gospel? It is righteousness, for the same apostle exhorted us to “put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Eph. 4:24. Righteousness means good works, and therefore the apostle says that “we are His workmanship, created The Creative Word in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained [or prepared] that we should walk in them.” Eph. 2:10.<br /><br /><br />Title page of Parables<br />Title page of Parables (Photo credit: Wikipedia)<br />The word of the Lord is right. He speaks righteousness. So just as He spoke to emptiness and created the earth, so He speaks to the soul that is destitute of righteousness, and if that word is received, the righteousness of that word is on that person. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are passed, through the forbearance of God.” Rom. 3:23-25. To declare is to speak; so when God declares His righteousness in Christ for the remission of sins, righteousness is spoken into and on you, to take the place of your sins, which are taken away. And it is not simply a passive righteousness that is declared on you, but real, active righteousness, for the word of the Lord is alive, and God’s righteousness is real and active.<br /><br /><br />This, in brief, is what the story of creation means to you when you believe it. Satan is eager to have you think that it is only a poem (as though a poem could not be true), or only a writing of fiction to amuse you. This is the means which he has taken in these days to undermine the Gospel. If you once look lightly on creation, the force of the Gospel is weakened for you. Satan is even content that you should call redemption a greater work than that of creation, for by doing so you are not in the least exalting the work of redemption, but depreciating it. Redemption and creation are the same work, and redemption is exalted only as creation is greatly appreciated. It may occur to you that since this is the case, that which commemorates creation must also commemorate redemption. This is true, but we will speak of that at another time.<br /><br /><br />“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.” Col. 3:16. Rightly understood, this text solves the problem of Christian living. So let’s spend a few minutes to see how much is involved in it.It can’t be doubted that there is power in the word of God, far above that of any other book. The Lord through the prophet Jeremiah rebukes the false prophets, who speak their own words instead of the words of God, and says: “What is the chaff to the wheat?” “Is not My word like as a fire? Saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?” Jer. 23:28, 29.The word hidden in your heart protects against sin. “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” Ps. 119:11. And of the righteous we read that the reason why none of his steps slide, is that “the law of his God is in his heart.” Ps. 37:31. David also says: “By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Ps. 17:4.The word of the Lord is the seed by which you are born again. The Apostle Peter says: “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently; being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” 1 Peter 1:22, 23. When you become Christ’s you are born again by the Spirit, and the word of God is the seed from which you are developed into a new creature in Christ.The word has power to give life. It is itself “quick,” that is, alive, and powerful; and the Psalmist prays to be quickened, made alive, according to the word, and then says: “This is my comfort in my affliction; for Thy word hath quickened me.” Ps. 119:25, 50.Jesus states this plainly in John 6:63: “It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” This shows that the power of the Spirit of God dwells in the word of God.With the knowledge that the word of God is the seed by which you are born unto a new life, and that hiding the word in your heart keeps you from sin, you may easily understand 1 John 3:9: “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” How simple! There is in the word that divine energy which can transform your mind, and make you a new creation “which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Of course the word can do this only if you receive it in simple faith. But the word does not lose any of its power. If your soul thus born again retains that sacred, powerful word by which you were born, it will keep you still a new creature. It is as powerful to preserve as it is to create.Jesus, our great example, gave us an illustration of this. When tempted on every point by the devil, his only reply was, “It is written,” followed by a text of Scripture that met the temptation exactly. If you would stand fast you must do the same thing. There is no other way. Here is an illustration in David’s words, “By the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”In speaking of the casting down of the “accuser of our brethren,” the heavenly voice says: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” Rev. 12:11. The word of their testimony is the word of God that the Psalmist delighted in. They overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of God.This can only be done when you have the word of God abiding in you. The Spirit is given to bring truth to your memory in time of trial; but if you haven’t learned it then you won’t be able to remember it. But if you have hidden the word in your heart, the Spirit will remind you of it when you are tempted. He will bring to your memory just the word that will foil the tempter.Every Christian can testify as to the power of the word at such times. When inclined to congratulate yourself on some real or fancied superior attainment, what a powerful check are the words, “Who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” 1 Cor. 4:7. Or when harsh and bitter thoughts are struggling within you for control, what power to quell those turbulent emotions lies in the words, “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.” 1 Cor. 13:4, 5. When provoked almost beyond endurance, how the gentle rebuke, “The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men,” helps you to be calm. Add to this the many “exceeding great and precious promises” which bring victory to your soul as you grasp them by faith. Thousands of aged Christians can testify to the miraculous power resting in a few simple words of the Scriptures.Where does the power come from? The answer is found in the words of Christ: “The words which I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.” What spirit are they? The Spirit of Christ. So the power of the Spirit dwells in the word. Truly, Christ himself dwells in the word, for He is the Word.Can you understand the mystery of inspiration? Only if you can understand the mystery of the incarnation; for both are the same. “The Word was made flesh.” We cannot understand how Christ could be all the fullness of the Godhead, and at the same time be in the form of a servant, subject to all the infirmities of mortal flesh. Neither can we understand how the Bible could be written by fallible mortals, exhibiting the peculiarities of each, and yet be the pure, unadulterated word of God. But it is certainly true that the power that was in the Word that was made flesh, is the power that is in the word that the apostles and prophets have written for us.Now you can begin to appreciate the power residing in the word. “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” Ps. 33:6. Christ, by whom the worlds were made, upholds them “by the word of His power.” Heb. 1:3. The power that resides in the words of revelation, is the power that could speak the worlds into existence, and can keep them in their appointed places. Surely it is worth your while to take time to study and meditate on the word.In doing this you bring Christ himself into your heart. In John 15, the Lord exhorts you to abide in Him, and to allow Him to abide in you; and then a few verses later He speaks of you abiding in Him, and His word abiding in you. John 15:4, 7. It is by his word that Christ abides in your heart; for Paul says that Christ will dwell in your heart by faith (Eph. 3:17); and “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Rom. 10:17.Many people earnestly long for Christ to come and dwell in their hearts, and they imagine that the reason why He does not do so is because they are not good enough, and they vainly set about trying to get so good that He can condescend to come in. They forget that Christ comes into your heart, not because it is free from sin, but in order to free it from sin; and possibly they never realized that Christ is in the word, and that if you will make it a constant companion, and will yield yourself to its influence, you will have Christ dwelling within. When you have hidden the word in your heart, you meditate on it day and night, and you believe it with the simple faith of a child—then you have Christ dwelling in your heart by faith, and you will experience His mighty, creative power.<br />Isn’t this thought encouraging? When you come to God in secret prayer, and the Spirit brings to your remembrance some precious promise or needed reproof, isn’t it encouraging to know that as you accept them, Christ is coming into your heart with the same power that created the worlds from nothing? Doesn’t it clothe the word with new dignity? No wonder David could never tire of sounding its praises. May the thought that God is in the word be a fresh incentive to you to gain strength for your work by taking more time to feed on the source of divine strength.</div>
