THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY


I am going to be posting Scripture – chapter & verse - to my Page every Thursday in preparation for the Sabbath Rest which begins on Friday: if that offends anyone, feel free to leave: no hard feelings.

I am a Messianic Christian. I am an Evangelist. 40 years ago I was called to verbally get The Word out; as a Christian since 1966, it is my DUTY to ‘spread the Good News’. I do not push The Gospel on people, but I DO talk about my God, my Lord, and my Savior every day; every hour of the day: if anyone doesn’t want to listen, or is offended to the point of violent anger, they can walk away. This is MY Page and I speak my mind on it. In any and ALL cases Elohei is a major part of my life and on my mind 24/7/360; and I speak (or write/type) as the Ruach moves me to speak, write or type.

When Yeshua walked this earth and spoke to the masses of people in public and they were offended, He simply walked away. I do that too. However, this is my Blog, and this Page is MY space; and here I do not walk away … I speak freely, and I speak openly. YOU are free to listen … or to leave.

I hope you will pull up a chair and sit a while - there's lots of interesting characters to learn about and to learn from, knowledge to be gleaned, and wisdom to be shared ;-)

THE GOSPEL ACCORDNG TO MATTHEW

Chapter 3: The time arrived when John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the wilderness of Judea. “Repent!” he said, “for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” This is the man who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said “Hark! A voice is heard in the wilderness crying out, ‘Prepare the way of Adonai; make His paths straight!” (Isaiah 40:3). John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food he had locusts and wild honey.

Then Jerusalem went out to him, as well as Judea and all the country around the Jordan. Those who confessed their sins were baptized by him in the Jordan. When he observed that many Pharisees and Sadducees were coming to his baptisms, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Then bring forth fruit proving that you are penitent! And don’t think that you can get by with saying, ‘We have Abraham as father’, for Elohei is able, I am telling you, to make children for Abraham out of these stones. Yes, even now the axe is being applied to the root of the trees. Every tree, therefore, that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you with water for repentance, but the One Who comes after me is so far above me that I am not fit to carry His sandals. He will baptize you with the Ruach and with fire. In His hand He is holding His fan, and he will cleanse His threshing floor. He will put His wheat into His granary, but He will burn the chaff in unquenchable fire.”


Then Yeshua came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. But John hesitated, saying, “I ought to be baptized by You; then why do You come to me?’ Yeshua answered, “Do it now, for it is right that we thus fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.


When Yeshua had been baptized, He came out of the water at once, and see! The heaven was opened, and He saw the Ruach of Elohei coming down like a dove, and resting on Him. And a voice out of Heaven spoke, “This is My Son, the Beloved. I am well pleased with Him.”
