OUR DAILY BREAD #7

 

Our Daily Bread #7

To be more like Christ

                              PIECE BY PIECE


Read: Exodus 40:17-34


According to all that the Lord had commanded (Moses), so he did.
- Exodus 40:16


     There in boxes lay all the parts - thousands of them.
Plastic blocks, wheels, poles and all sorts of seemingly
incompatible and unusable pieces. It was time to help Steven put
his Logo pieces together into something recognizable. But first
we had to look at the instructions. Without them, we could have
snapped pieces together, but we would never have been able to
construct the fire station or helicopter shown on the box.
     Back in the days of Israel's wilderness wanderings, Moses
also faced the task of putting together a structure using a
variety of parts. In Exodus 36-39, we read that the people had
gathered materials and built the parts of the tabernacle. Then
the Lord told Moses how m put it together (chapter 40). The
tabernacle would be the structure God wanted, and it would bring
glory to Him only if Moses followed His detailed plans - if he
did "as the Lord had commanded" (v.19).
     With the tabernacle - and with our lives - the only right
way to build is to follow God's guidance. Are we allowing Him to
direct our steps? Are we following His instructions as outlined
in the Bible? If we are, He will help us to put the pieces of our
lives together so that we will bring glory and honor to Him. -
Dave Branon

My Bible to me is a guidebook true That points for my feet the
way, That gives me courage and hope and cheer And guidance for
every day. - Anon.

THE WORDS OF SCRIPTURE ARE MEANT FOR OUR PROTECTION, CORRECTION,
AND DIRECTION.



                            LET'S TAKE A BREAK


Read: Luke 9:1-10


Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while. -
Mark 6:31


     According to tradition, when the apostle John was overseer
in Ephesus, his hobby was raising pigeons. It is said that on one
occasion another elder passed his house as he returned from
hunting and saw John playing with one of his birds. The man
gently chided him for spending his time so frivolously. John
looked at the hunter's bow and remarked that the string was
loose. "Yes," said the elder, "I always loosen the string of my
bow when it's not in use. If it stayed tight, it would lose its
resilience and fail me in the hunt." John responded, "And I am
now relaxing the bow of my mind so that I may be better able to
shoot the arrows of divine truth."
     We cannot do our best work with nerves taut or frayed from
being constantly under pressure. When Jesus' disciples returned
from a strenuous preaching mission, their Master recognized their
need for rest and invited them to come with Him to a quiet place
where they could be refreshed.
     Hobbies, vacations, and wholesome recreation are vital to a
well-balanced, godly life. We lose our effectiveness by keeping
our lives so tightly strung that we're always on edge. If it
seems we can't relax, Jesus may be inviting us to take a break -
to "come aside" and "rest a while." - Dennis De Haan 

If our body, soul, and spirit Are to function at their best,
Time is needed for renewal, Time for leisure, time for rest. - 
D. De Haan

IF CHRISTIANS DO NOT COME APART AND REST AWHILE, THEY MAY JUST
PLAIN COME APART! - Havner



                               SUPERSTITIONS


Read: Deuteronomy 18:19-22


You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. - Deuteronomy
18:13


     Baseball players are often superstitious. They become
involved in all kinds of odd behavior in the belief that it will
help them play better.
     When Babe Ruth ran in from the outfield, he always stepped
on second base just for good luck. Willie Mays kicked it for the
same reason. Manager Leo Durocher rode in the back seat of the
team bus to break a losing streak. Other baseball superstitions
include never changing bats after two strikes, not changing
uniforms during a wining streak, tapping the plate three times
with the bat, and not stepping on the foul line.
     Lefty O'Doul, a pitcher for the Yankees in the 1920s, said,
"It's not that if I stepped on the foul line it would really lose
the game, but why take a chance?" He must have believed deep
within himself that if some supernatural power was available, he
wanted its help.
     Harmless rituals? Some say yes But superstitions reveal
something about the object of one's trust, and in some cases they
are even tied to occult practices. The Bible warns against
trusting unknown forces that work behind the scenes. Those who
trust in Christ must reject the idea of luck or chance. God is
all-knowing and sovereign over the events of our lives, and He
wants us to trust him alone. - Dave Egner

Into His hands I lay the fears that haunt me, The dread of future
ills that may befall; Into His hands I lay the doubts that taunt
me, And rest securely, trusting Him for all. - Christiansen

WINNING IN LIFE DEPENDS ON GOD NOT GOOD LUCK.



                              GOD, ANSWER ME!


Read: Psalm 6


The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. - Psalm 6:8


     Theresa left Sue a message that she had some great news. Sue
was convinced that her friend had received Jesus as Savior. After
all, she had been praying for Theresa's salvation for 30 years.
What could be greater news!
     A few days later, Theresa revealed her "great news": She had
a new boyfriend and was moving in with him. Sue cried out in
desperation, "Lord, what makes me think that You would answer me
after 30 years of praying?" She proceeded to have a pity party
for herself about God's seeming reluctance to answer her.
     Some of our hardest struggles are those deep desires that go
unmet - when no response comes from heaven for what seems like
forever. The psalmist David could relate. He cried, "Have mercy
on me, O Lord .... My soul also is greatly troubled; but You, O
Lord - how long? Return, O Lord, deliver me!" (Ps.6:2-4). But
later in the psalm we read that David knew the Lord bad heard him
(v.9).
     A month after Theresa's "great news," she called and left
another message: "I have wonderful news! I trusted Jesus as my
Savior! I don't know why I didn't do it long ago." Now Sue is
praying that Theresa will grow in the Lord and seek to please Him
with her life.
     Keep praying. In His time, God will answer. - Anne Cetas

Dear Lord, I know You hear me, and that You are powerful and
wise. Help me to wait patiently and to trust You for Your good
and perfect answers to the needs of those I love. Amen.

DELAY IS NOT DENIAL. SO KEEP PRAYING.




                        CELEBRATING DISAPPOINTMENT


Read: Psalm 30


You have turned for me my mourning into dancing. - Psalm 30:11


     After receiving his second Academy Award, Denzel Washington
said to his family, "I told you, if I lost tonight, I'd come
home we'd celebrate. And if I won tonight I'd come home and we'd
celebrate." Denzel, a Christian, was trusting God, whether in
blessing or in disappointment.
     A Christian couple I know were inspired to follow Denzel's
example. The woman was applying for a dream job that had just
opened up where she worked. The interview went well, but she knew
she might not get the position. Her husband suggested, "Let's
make reservations at our favorite restaurant this Friday to
celebrate - no matter what the outcome."
     Soon the news came that someone else was offered the job.
But that Friday the disappointed couple still celebrated. While
eating a delicious meal, they were able to count their blessings
and renew their faith in the God who holds tomorrow's
opportunities in His hand. When the psalmist counted his
blessings, he was lifted out of his despair and praised God,
saying, "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing" (Ps.
30:11).
     Are you facing a situation in which you could be
disappointed? Why not set up a celebration to count your
blessings no matter what the outcome? - Dennis Fisher

Thank God in your disappointment, Celebrate His grace and love;
Know that He will never leave you And will bless you from above.
-D. De Haan




                              THIS IS BETTER


Read: Proverbs 16:16-32


How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding
is to be chosen rather than silver. - Proverbs 16:16

     
     People all over the world are constantly looking for the
better item, whether buying fruit in a market or
choosing a place to live. We examine, ponder, compare, and
finally make a choice based on what we believe is better. I can't
imagine anyone saying, "I'm convinced this one is worse, so I'll
take it."
     The book of Proverbs is filled with comparisons that point
us toward the right pathway in life. Because the book's purpose
is to give the reader knowledge and wisdom based on the fear of
the Lord (Prov.12:7), it's not surprising to find statements
saying, "This is better than that:"
     In Proverbs 16, we read that it is better to get wisdom than
gold or silver (v.16); better to be humble among the poor than to
be proud among the wealthy (v.19); better to control our temper
than to rule a city (v.32). Some people have the ability to be
both wise and wealthy. But when faced with a choice between the
two, proverbs says wisdom is the better alternative.
     As we read the book of Proverbs, let's look for those signs
that say, "This is better!" When God's Word shapes our thinking
and guides our choices, we'll discover that His way is always
better. - David McCasland

Not what we have, but what we use, Not what we see, but what we
choose - These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human
happiness. - Anon.

A LITTLE WISDOM IS BETTER THAN A LOT OF WEALTH



                               HERD INSTINCT


Read: John 10:14-30


My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. -
John 10:27


     Near the village of Gevas in eastern Turkey, while shepherds
ate their breakfast, one of their sheep jumped off a 45-foot
cliff to its death.
     Then, as the stunned shepherds looked on, the rest of the
flock followed. In all, 1,500 sheep mindlessly stumbled off the
cliff. The only good news was that the last 1,000 were cushioned
in their fall by the growing woolly pile of those who jumped
first. According to The Washington Post, 450 sheep died.
     The Bible often refers to human beings as sheep (Ps.100:3;
Isa.53:6; Matt.9:36). Easily distracted and susceptible to group
influence, we would rather follow the crowd than the wisdom of
the Shepherd.
     I'm glad the Bible also describes sheep in a positive way.
Jesus said "I am the Goad Shepherd .... My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:14,27).
     So the big question for us is: Whom are we following? One
another? Self-centered shepherds? Or the voice and direction of
the Good Shepherd?
     Our challenge is to avoid the mistake of the sheep who
blindly followed one another over a cliff. We must make it our
daily purpose to ask ourselves: Am I listening for the voice of
the Good Shepherd? Am I following Him? - Mart De Haan 

Savior, like a shepherd lead us, Much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us, For our use Thy folds prepare.
- Thrupp

FOLLOW CHRIST NOT THE CROWD.

HOSEA for TODAY and TOMORROW #3— CHAP. 7-14

 

Hosea for Today and Tomorrow

Chapters 7 to 14

                         
CHAPTER 7

The Corruptions and Wickedness of Israel

     It is over and over that God lays down the sins of Israel.
He makes every effort to warn them, tells them to REPENT so they
will not have to go into captivity. 
     But they consider not in their heart to remember their
iniquities. It would seem the rulers of Israel just will NOT
listen, so their doings are before the face of the Lord. They are
like an oven prepared for the baking; they are hot to sin as an
oven is to bake. Your judges and leaders are devoured and have
fallen. They just do not know how to lead you back onto the right
and correct pathway of righteousness. Ephraim Britain is a burnt
cake, just rotten and hard as brick to see its wickedness.
Outsiders have devoured your once mighty strength of character.
They are so proud they cannot find their way back to their God
(verses 1-10).

     My father at age 85 went back to Britain in 2005 with the
desire to live the rest of his life back in the small village we
came from in south Wales. He was there for one year. He told me
on the phone he could not stay there in Britain because of their
evil and wickedness and corruption from the top of the head down
to the foot. He returned to Canada.

     Ephraim Britain is like a silly dove God says, she goes to
Egypt and the Assyrian (Germany Europe and the Middle East) for
help. God says that he will spread His net upon them; He will
bring them down as the fowls of heaven; He will correct them just
as they have been told. Woe unto you Britain for you have fled
from your God. Destruction will come on you because you have
transgressed against the Lord. He has blessed you but you have
now spoken lies and live in lies. You have NOT cried out to your
Maker and God. Even when in deep trouble you did not cry out to
Him, but went to Germany Europe to try and help your problems and
find prosperity. Oh you turn all right, you move, you change, but
NOT in God's direction. You will again be in captivity as in the
land of Egypt (verses 11-16).


CHAPTER 8

     The TRUMPET is to blow! The Lord shall come as an eagle to
the prey, FOR you have transgressed the covenant of living with
God and have transgressed His LAW. The time will come when you
will cry "My God, we know you, help us!" But it will be too late.
You people of Israel have rejected what is the right and good way
and so the enemy will come to destroy you (verses 1-3).

     You set up kings, but NOT by me; you have made princes, and
God had no part in it. God is NOT IN YOUR POLITICS! Your rulers
are not sent from God (verse 4). 

     Many of you thought George Bush was the "man from God" for
the leading of the United States 8 year ago (2000 to 2008). But
what a MESS the USA is in today as I write this just before
another President comes into power. President Bush boy has gone
down in history as the most un-popular President since Richard
Nixon, and Richard Nixon did not lead the USA into any where near
the mess the USA is in today.

     Your silver and gold has led you to idolatry. Your banking
guys have led you to another 1939 CRASH! Now the average tax
payer has to bail out Wall Street to the tune of about 1 TRILLION
dollars, in this month of September 2008 (verse 4).

     You have SOWN THE WIND AND YOU WILL REAP THE WHIRL-WIND!!

     Israel is swallowed up; you will finally be a junky, a
vessel worthless around the Gentiles. For you hope in Assyria
Germany Europe - Ephraim Britain has hired LOVERS. You will
writhe under the burden of the great king of the North, the
Europe Roman Empire of the last days.

     Ephraim, Britain and family, you have made altars to sin,
you are the sick nation of the Europe Union. So God will leave
you to your sins. He has written and given you the great things
of His law, that you once loved, but NOW you count them as a
"strange thing" - those teaching of the good and right ways of
the Lord are laughed at, ignored, counted as the enemy of freedom
and choice. Here in Canada if you call same sex marriage an EVIL
and SIN, you are cast as a BIGOT and an enemy of "love" and
"social respect" for all peoples whatever they believe or want to
practice. 
     God will remember your sins and you will one day return to
the slavery of Egypt as in the beginning, when you were delivered
under Moses and given the law of God.

     ISRAEL, you have FORGOTTEN your Maker; you build temples of
one religion or another in your lands. JUDAH, you build and
multiply your fenced and protected cities; BUT God will send a
FIRE UPON your cities and you will be devoured! (verses 7-14).
     We have seen in other prophecies how Judah is full of sins
and corruptions. This September 2008 the leader of the state of
Israel has had to resign because of deep corruption in his life,
and the new woman leader they say will have a very difficult time
to form even a coalition government. Corruption and violence is
still a major part of life in Jerusalem and Judah. 


CHAPTER 9

"REJOICE NOT, O Israel, for joy, as other people; for you have
gone a whoring from your God..."  The riches of Israel will no
longer save you. Ephraim Britain will return to the slavery days
of Egypt, and shall eat unclean things in Germany Assyria. Your
days of visitation and punishment are coming. Israel, you will
know that your prophets are FOOLS, and the spiritual man is MAD,
YOU WILL COME TO KNOW YOUR INIQUITIES AND THE GREAT HATRED YOU
HAVE BEEN TAUGHT AGAINST THE LORD AND HIS TRUE WAYS. You and they
(your prophets and spiritual men) have DEEPLY CORRUPTED
yourselves, so God will remember your iniquities and He will
visit you with correction for your sins.

     As for Ephraim Britain, your GLORY will fly away like a
bird, it already has, your days of glory are over.

     Though you will bring up children, you will loose them, it
is woe to you when God finally departs from you. Though Britain
you are planted in a very pleasant place (the British Isles are
like the garden of Eden in so many ways), you will bring up your
children for the MURDERER! God will one day finally take His love
from you, you will in effect be driven out of His house, for a
while He will love you no more; all your princely leaders are
REVOLTERS against the Lord.
     It is decreed that Ephraim will be mitten, their root to dry
up, bearing no fruit. Yes, though they bring forth children the
Lord will SLAY even the fruit of the womb.
     Hosea shouts, "My God will CAST THEM AWAY, BECAUSE THEY DID
NOT HARKEN UNTO HIM, AND THEY SHALL WANDER AMONG THE NATIONS"
(verses 11-17).


CHAPTER 10

     Israel will be an empty vine, as they increased with fruit
they increased their altars to false worship and sin. The
goodness of their lands made them more images of sin and
corruption. God will come and punish. Israel will one day say,
"We have no king, because we feared not the Lord." It is the
mighty Assyrian nation - the GERMAN people who will spear-head a
mighty Europe Beast Babylon power that will carry you away into
captivity. The punishment will put an end to your gross sins,
your false altars will be covered with thistles, and you will
desire the mountains to cover you, for the hills to fall on you,
for so great will be your pain and suffering (verses 1-8).

     It is the Lord's will to punish you, to chastise you, the
people He will use will be gathered against you.
     It will be the time to sow righteousness, to reap for mercy,
a time to REALLY SEEK the Lord, till He arrives to rain
righteousness on you.
     You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you
have eaten the fruit of lies in your way of life: BECAUSE you did
trust in YOUR OWN ways, and in the multitude of your so-called
mighty leaders of government, economics, military, and
spirituality.
     It will be a mighty TUMULT among you in the day of your
correction, and none of your mighty fortresses of economics
and/or war machines will save you; they will be for the spoiler
(9-15).


CHAPTER 11

     God called you out of Egypt as a son, but as you went you
turned to false idols. God taught Ephraim to go in the right way,
but many times they did not acknowledge the Lord was their
healer. He drew them with bands of love. Now God has decided
because you are like your forefathers, not to send you back into
Egypt, but the Assyrian German will be your master and king. The
sword of his army shall abide on your cities.  
     God says you are BENT on backsliding into sin: though you
have at times an outward face of calling to the Most High (when
something like a massive natural disaster strikes you, or the
enemy blows up some of your mighty buildings as the infamous 9 11
of 2001) you really do not EXALT Him in deep and humble
contrition that leads to turning from sin to holy righteousness
(verses 1-7).

HOW CAN I GIVE YOU UP, EPHRAIM? HOW SHALL I DELIVER YOU, ISRAEL?
.... I WILL NOT EXECUTE THE FIERCENESS OF MINE ANGER, I WILL NOT
RETURN TO DESTROY YOU COMPLETELY EPHRAIM: FOR I AM GOD, NOT MAN;
THE HOLY ONE IN THE MIDST OF YOU. I WILL YET BE IN YOUR CITIES.
YOU WILL YET WALK AFTER THE LORD: HE WILL ROAR LIKE A LION: WHEN
HE DOES THE CHILDREN IN THE WEST WILL TREMBLE. THEY WILL TREMBLE
AS A BIRD OUT OF EGYPT, AND AS A DOVE OUT OF THE LAND OF ASSYRIA:
I WILL PLACE THEM IN THEIR HOUSES, SAYS THE LORD" (verses 8-11).

     God, in His chastising, will not fully and completely
destroy you Oh Israel. He will chastise enough for you to come to
your knees in humble REPENTANCE. In your affliction you will turn
back to serve God in spirit as well as in truth. He then will
deliver you from the lands of your enemies at the coming of the
Messiah Christ, and He will place you in your houses in the Holy
Land and in Jerusalem, as all the prophets proclaim and teach
(verse 11).
     

CHAPTER 12

     Ephraim Britain feeds on the "east" wind, the east wind
travels "west" - from Europe. Britain has looked to the EAST for
help! She has made a covenant with Germany/Assyria and she will
continue to do so. She has sided with the king of the North and
some kind of deal will be made with the king of the North and the
coming king of the South with Egypt at its head. It could well
have something to do with "oil" but the deal will hit a dead end
and the king of the South will "push at" (somehow) the king of
the North and the king of the North will come against the South
and win the battle. We have covered that prophecy in Daniel
11:40-45.

     The Lord has also a controversy with Judah. All of Jacob
Israel will be punished according to their ways (verses 1-2)

     A little history is reviewed (verses 3-5).

     There has been deceit and oppression used by Ephraim to
acquire her riches, and she has thought herself righteous with no
sin, in so doing. Not all that Britain did in building its Empire
was the smell of roses.

     God has used the prophets many many times to warn Ephraim
and Israel. A little more Jacob history is retold, as well as
reminding them that it was through a prophet - Moses - that God
brought Israel out of Egypt. It has been the nature of Ephraim
and Israel to provoke the Lord in sinning, so they will have
payment for their wickedness (verses 8-14).

     What we sow that we eventually will reap. If we sow sin and
iniquity then death is the final payment. It is a universal law,
all great nations of the past that sank into more and more sin,
finally ended in destruction. The classic example is the Roman
Empire. The famous work "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by
Gibbon, makes that universal law a clear reality. Gibbon gives I
believe 5 basic sins that led Rome to its doom, not the least of
them was that the Roman society corrupted itself from WITHIN -
sin upon sin - blood upon blood - until the wickedness like a
cancer rotted the Empire, and then it was no match for the enemy
to swoop down and bring Rome and its Empire crashing to the
ground. 
     So it will be for Ephraim and all Israel - it is only a
matter of WHEN! And that "when" belongs to the Lord in His time.


CHAPTER 13

     When Ephraim Britain spoke with the humble fear of God in
the nations like in the days of the Second World War under
Winston Churchill, they were exalted in Israel, but when they
have now offended in secularism and pagan Baal practices, Britain
has signed the death sentence. But they sin the more and then
more, and have set up many idols in their heart and mind. They
will be as the morning cloud and the dew that passes away, as the
chaff driven by the whirlwind, and as the smoke out of the
chimney is blown away.

     At the same time God says, "Yet I am the Lord thy God from
the land of Egypt; and you shall know no god but Me, for I am
your true Savior, there is no Savior besides me" (verses 1-4).

     It is as it ever was, once you are filled and prosperous,
your heart was exalted in your own eyes; therefore you have
forsaken your God. And because it is so, God will be to you as a
lion: as a leopard stalking its prey. God will meet you as a bear
bereaved of her cubs; He will devour you like a lion; the wild
beasts shall tear you (verses 6-8).
     
     Listen Israel to the voice of your God, "O Israel, you have
destroyed yourself; BUT IN ME is your help" (verse 9).

     It is the Lord God who WILL be your KING. There is no other
who can save what will be left of you from your cities. God is
binding up your sins, He is not forgetting them. You will cry and
wail as a woman giving child-birth. YET, the power of the Lord
will rescue many from the grave; you will be redeemed from death
(we've seen that in Ezekiel 37).

"O death, I will be thy plague; O grave, I will be thy
destruction: changing my mind does not even enter my mind on this
promise" (14).

     Though Ephraim Britain is fruitful among his brethren, and
EAST wind with come, it is coming from the Lord. The east wind
from the Europe Babylon/Assyria, will come Westward and famine
and desert like conditions the Europe east wind will bring, all
the goodness shall dry up (verses 15).

     Samaria Israel shall BECOME DESOLATE; for she has REBELLED
AGAINST GOD; THEY SHALL FALL BY THE WORD;   
     
     Samaria shall become desolate because they have rebelled
against God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be
dashed in pieces; and their women will child shall be ripped up
(verses 16).

     There have been some horrid - terrible - violent things done
in the name of WAR! So sadly it will be again for Israel Samaria,
by the mighty hand of the end time European Babylon Beast.


CHAPTER 14

Healing for the Repentant

"RETURN, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for your sins have
brought you down. Bring your petitions, and return to the Lord,
say to Him, 'Forgive all our sins and graciously receive us, so
that we may offer you the sacrifice of praise. Assyria (Germany)
cannot save us, nor can our strength in battle. Never again will
we call the idols we have made [our gods]. No, in YOU alone do
the orphans find mercy" (verses 1-3.

     This September 2008 we have witnessed the greed and
corruption of the elite Wall Street banker investors CRASH to the
basement - their careless sins, while they roll in physical
riches (tens of millions of dollars in each of their pockets)
have been exposed in bankruptsy. The madness of poor government
and the sickening fact that it may be the average tax payer who
is to try and bail out the Wall Street debacle, to the tune of
700 BILLION DOLLARS and possibly ONE TRILLION DOLLARS, is white
collar crime and iniquity that has until now been rampant in the
United States of Samaria. Our sins WILL BRING US DOWN, AND NO
NATION WILL STOP OUR FALL. Our lovers (that one day will be our
nightmare enemies) that we have helped and loved, nations like
Germany, in Europe, will not be able to save us, they will not
desire to save us, nay God will even use them to punish us. But
if we will then REPENT and cry out to God, admitting our sins and
that none but He can save us, then the Lord says, "I will heal
you of your idolatry and faithlessness, and my love will know no
bounds, for my anger will be gone forever. I will be to Israel
like a refreshing dew from heaven. It will blossom like the lily;
it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon.
Its branches will spread out like those of beautiful olive trees,
as fragrant as the cedar forests of Lebanon. My people will
return again to the safety of their land. They will flourish like
grain and blossom like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as
the wines of Lebanon" (verses 4-7).

     This prophecy will come to pass but it is a prophecy for the
time beyond us; the time of the new age to come, when Israel and
Judah will have been punished in captivity and restored to the
Holy Land, where new righteous blossoming will begin, when Israel
will at last be the inspired Spirit filled children of God, and
will set the righteous example for all the nations of the earth
to want to emulate. That is why God chose the people of Israel in
the first place (Det.4). We have a few times in out long 3,000
plus years of history, been the right holy example, like under
the reign of king Solomon and a few others. Yet the time when
Israel will be the holy righteous example for ever, while
physical flesh is on this earth, will have to wait for the age
that is yet to come.

     In the prophecy of Hosea God wants Israel to NOT have to be
punished with destruction and captivity, so He gives a final cry:

"O Israel Ephraim, come out of idolatry! I am the one who looks
after you and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always
green, giving my fruit to you all through the year"(verse 8).

     If you would LISTEN. If you would TURN from SIN and
iniquity, you would not have to go through this great
affliction like no other in history. God would be willing to then
work His plan on earth and into the new age, a DIFFERENT way!
Yes, He would! He has told you through the prophet Ezekiel that
He has NO PLEASURE in the death of the wicked, but if the wicked
acknowledge their wickedness and turn from it to righteousness,
then God will turn from the evil He thought to do to them - the
righteous would then LIVE in their righteousness.

"Let those who are WISE understand these things. Let those who
are DISCERNING listen carefully. The PATHS of the Lord are TRUE
and RIGHT, and RIGHTEOUS people live by WALKING in them. But
sinners STUMBLE and FALL along the way!" (verse 9).

     ARE YOU ONE OF THE WISE? YOU CAN BE! IT IS WRITTEN THE FEAR
OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM. IF YOU WILL FEAR IN DEEP
HUMBLE RESPECT FOR THE PATHS OF THE LORD, IF YOU WILL HUNGER AND
THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, IF YOU WILL PROVE ALL THINGS AND HOLD
FAST TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD, IF YOU WILL SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES TO
PROVE WHAT IS SPOKEN ON THIS BLOG IS THE TRUTH OF THE WORD OF
THE LORD, THEN YOU WILL BE FILLED WITH UNDERSTANDING.

     THE PROPHECY OF HOSEA WAS NOT JUST FOR HIS DAY, NOT JUST FOR
ISRAEL OF OLD, BUT IT IS ALSO A PROPHECY FOR MODERN ISRAEL.

HOSEA for TODAY and TOMORROW #2— CHAP. 5 and 6

 

Hosea for Today and Tomorrow

Chapter 5 and 6

                          
CHAPTER 5

     God says, "Hear you this, O priests (ministers of religion);
and HARKEN, you House of Israel' and give you ear, O house of the
king (the British Royal throne); for JUDGMENT IS TOWARDS YOU...."
(verses 1-2).

"I know Ephraim (The British Commonwealth) and Israel is not hid
from me: for now Ephraim [Britain], you commit WHOREDOM, and Israel
is DEFILED. They will NOT frame their doings to TURN unto their
God: for the spirit of WHOREDOMS is in the midst of them, and
they have NOT KNOWN the Lord" (verses 3-4).

     In these last days it is surely true that Ephraim Britain
has not known their God; they are indeed full of whoredoms and
sins. You need to read that article on my Website called "The
SHOCKING DECLINE of England!" Then you will see clearly HOW BAD
AND SICK AND SINFUL is the nation of Ephraim Britain.

"The PRIDE of Israel does testify to his face: therefore shall
ISRAEL and EPHRAIM - FALL in their iniquity; and JUDAH also shall
FALL WITH THEM"(verse 5).

     This did not happen back in the days of Hosea. though many
from the house of Judah did go into captivity with Israel, the
kingdom of Judah remained. It was not until 604 to 586 B.C. that
the House of Judah was punished in captivity by the Babylon
Empire.  
      Here we have a prophecy that BOTH Israel and Judah WILL
FALL TOGETHER! It is a prophecy for the end time, just as we have
seen in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

     God will punish Israel and Ephraim (verses 6-7).

     EPHRAIM shall be DESOLATE in the day of rebuke: and God has
MADE IT KNOWN in the nations of Israel what shall surely come to
pass. YOU are reading of this warning to Israel and Judah. This
Blog for one, is making it KNOWN to Israel and Judah the
destruction of punishment to come on the nations of North-West
Europe, the British family of nations and the United States of
America. Few in those nations will take heed, most will laugh at
it all, will not even believe or prove that Israel is the nations
I've just mentioned. People in Africa, in India, in China, in
Japan, and other such nations will have little trouble coming to
understand who MODERN ISRAEL is in bible prophecy, but the people
and ministers of those nations will deny it, turn red in the face
with anger and DENY IT! 

     When it comes to pass, as it will, you will know a prophet
of the Lord was sent to you; when you are destroyed and scattered
as slaves in the lands of your lover enemies THEN you WILL KNOW
the prophets of God and the prophets of Baal.

     Ephraim Britain is OPPRESSED and BROKEN in judgment because
he has walked after the commandments of men. God will be a MOTH
unto Ephraim, and also to the House of Judah, rottenness will be
everywhere. When Ephraim SAW how sick she was, and Judah saw her
wound, what did they do? Did they go to the Lord, cry out for His
help and guidance? No! THEY WENT TO GERMANY EUROPE (THE
ASSYRIAN), to the united Beast power of Europe, to solve their
problems! BUT THEIR PROBLEMS HAVE NOT BEEN SOLVE!! England is
SICK SICK AND MORE SICK! Judah is still trying to acquire peace
with its enemies that lie around it.

     God will be like a LION to Ephraim, and a young lion
starting now to hunt its prey, to Judah. The Eternal God will TEAR, 
TAKE AWAY, and LEAVE them in bones and blood, none shall be able to
rescue them. God will go away, turn HIS BACK on them, as they
have turned their back on Him. The Lord will remove Himself from
them UNTIL THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR OFFENCE, AND SEEK HIM .... AND
MY OH MY THEY WILL SEEK HIM EARLY IN THEIR AFFLICTION! (verses
13-15).

     We are talking about the last years of this age, when modern
Israel and Judah will be destroyed by the German led Beast
Babylon of Europe. BOTH Israel and Judah shall FALL TOGETHER! I
have expounded over and over on this blog HOW that will come
about. It will be the start of the last 42 months of this age.
The last and 7th resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire will take
Jerusalem, and then turn on the Jews and Britain and the United
States, to defeat and crush them under its feet. The world will
enter on the GREATEST TRIBULATION ever seen or experienced on
earth .... THEN Israel will REPENT AND TURN TO THEIR GOD, THEY
WILL ACKNOWLEDGE HE RENT THEM AND SO CAN HEAL THEM, THAT HE HAS
SMITTEN THEM AND CAN BIND THEM UP (chapter 6:1).


CHAPTER 6

     AFTER TWO DAYS .... ah, days in prophecy are translated into
YEARS in fulfilment.
     AFTER TWO YEARS OF THIS GREAT TRIBULATION AND ON INTO THE
THIRD YEAR, when Israel has fully and deeply REPENTED, when they
are on their knees in humility, when they are literally crying -
crying their hearts out as we say, then God will START TO have
MERCY on them.!  
     The TWO witnesses in Jerusalem will have been proclaiming
the truths of God, people will hear truth, 12 thousand from each
tribe of Israel will be CONVERTED (Revelation 7). REPENTANCE WILL
COME TO ISRAEL! They will know He can still be to them as the
latter and former rain on the earth (verses 2-3).

God cries out:

"O Ephraim, what shall I do unto you? O Judah, what shall I do
unto you? For your goodness is like the morning cloud, as the dew
on the earth, it goes away. Therefore I have given them to the
prophets; I have SLAIN them by the words of my mouth: your
judgments are like the light that goes forth and then disappears
into the darkness" (verses 4-5).

     The prophets of God have been SENT to you Oh Israel and
Judah. You have been GIVEN THE WARNING. Your sins have been made
known to you. You move ever further away from the truths of God,
you move ever further away from SERVING your God in spirit and in
truth. Your minsters of religion, the Christian religion are
false prophets, they will not turn you to obey the commandments
of God; they preach what you want to hear, they have itching
ears; you then have only a form of godliness, and some nations
like Ephraim Britain has just about no "Christian" religion
PERIOD!

     God desires MERCY and true LOVE, not an outward form of
religion. He desires TRUE KNOWLEDGE of Him not lip service and
outward form (many of your churches have great outward form and
physical splendor and a skin coating of spirituality) BUT GOD
SAYS YOU HAVE TRANSGRESSED THE COVENANT AND DEALT TREACHEROUSLY
AGAINST HIM.
     Your ministers as a whole are like a group of bandits, who
have collaborated together to teach and preach smooth things, to
go with the status quo ... the old line of religion that is NOT
from the word of God. They themselves will not do the
righteousness of God and with ENORMITY (margin) they sin and
teach others to sin.

     God says "I HAVE SEEN A HORRIBLE THING IN THE HOUSE OF
ISRAEL: THERE IS THE WHOREDOM OF EPHRAIM, ISRAEL IS DEFILED!"
(verses 6-10).

     Is there anyone out there who can see the SINS of Israel and
Judah? Is there anyone who can REPENT? Is there any political
leader or minister of religion who can SEE THE SINS of Israel?
Can you not see the ever increasing EVIL and ABOMINATIONS and
WHOREDOMS than our nations HAVE moved into and are CONTINUING to
move into? I praise God there are some of you, the few, the elect
of God, who can see our downward decline into ever more
wickedness. I thank God a few of you HAVE REPENTED and do desire
to love the Lord your God with your whole heart, mind, and life.
But I know you are the very few, the salt of the earth, and sadly
I know MOST in Israel and Judah WILL NOT LISTEN, WILL NOT TURN
from their evil ways, and so I know sadly that what I have told
you about in the prophetic word of the Lord WILL COME TO PASS,
and that sadly ONLY through GREAT TRIBULATION will Israel and
Judah come back to the pathway of God's righteousness.

     As the Lord does so often, after verses of CONDEMNATION and
the warning of DESTRUCTION, He finished with the glorious HOPE, a
sure hope that a HARVEST OF GOODNESS waits at the end of the road
for Israel and Judah, when the captivity of His people will
RETURN (verse 11).

     As we have seen so many times already in Isaiah, Jeremiah,
and Ezekiel, the Lord God will SAVE ISRAEL AND JUDAH OUT OF THEIR
CAPTIVITY, RESTORE THEM TO THE HOLY LAND, AND PROSPER THEM AGAIN
UNDER THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH.

HOSEA for TODAY and TOMORROW #1— CHAP. 1 to 4

 

Hosea for Today and Tomorrow #1

To the Wise

                          
     Most people reading the book of Hosea will see some literal
events in the life and days of Hosea, and will dismiss this book
of prophecy as "for some ages past" and of little relevant use to
us today, except in noting that God does not like sin. Hummmm
.... have we not already seen from the books of Moses that God
does not like sin, so no big revelation per se to find it is so
even in a much later book like Hosea.

     Many may not even get to the last verse of Hosea, dismissing
it as of little importance and just some old history of an old
Israel way back in the 760s B.C. before they were eventually
deported to Assyria from 745 to 718 B.C.
     But before you put away the book of Hosea will you not take
a look at the last verse.

"WHO IS WISE, AND HE SHALL UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS. PRUDENT AND
HE SHALL KNOW THEM. FOR THE WAYS OF THE LORD ARE RIGHT, AND THE
JUST SHALL WALK IN THEM: BUT THE TRANSGRESSORS SHALL FALL."

     Jeremiah we saw in chapter 30 of his book, was to WRITE DOWN
THE PROPHECY, FOR IT WAS TO BE REPLAYED WAY DOWN THE ROAD, EVEN
AT THE TIME OF THE END, WHEN ONCE MORE GOD WOULD DELIVER ISRAEL
AND JUDAH FROM THE LANDS OF THEIR ENEMIES, BRING THEM BACK TO THE
PROMISED LAND, WHERE THEY WOULD SERVE DAVID RAISED UP TO THEM AND
THE LORD GOD.

     HOSEA HAS A MESSAGE FOR MODERN ISRAEL AND FOR THE GREAT
TRIBE OF EPHRAIM - THE CELTIC-ANGLO-SAXON BRITISH COMMONWEALTH!!
     ONCE MORE I TELL YOU THAT YOU NEED TO PROVE WHO THE PEOPLES
OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL ARE TODAY. YOU HAVE NO BETTER WEBSITE THAN
THE YEARS OF RESEARCH WORK DONE ON THE .... BRITAM.ORG   Website.


Hosea Taught

     It is generally agreed that Hosea gave his prophecies from
about 760 to near the end of that century, probably shortly
before the final deportation of Israel to Assyria in 718 B.C.


CHAPTERS 1 TO 4

     The prophecies concern the House of Israel in the land of
Samaria. God tells Hosea to take a wife of whoredoms and children
of whoredoms. This does NOT mean Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
It means as it goes on to say that the LAND HAS COMMITTED
WHOREDOMS, hence all in the land to God were men and women of
whoredoms. 
     Hosea went and took Gomer as wife. She bare him a son. The
son was to be called Jezreel meaning "judgment on Jehu" for the
massacre at Jezreel (2 Kings 10:11). The judment was fulfilled
in Zechariah, the last of Jehu's dynasty as decreed in 2 Kings
10:30 9see 2 Kings 15:8-12). The house of Israel is to come to
an end.

     Another child is born - a daughter this time, named Lo-
Ruhamah - meaning "unpitied" - signifies the end of mercy to the
house of Israel.

     Yet notice verse 7, JUDAH ... will be shown mercy! So it was in
the 7th century B.C. Judah did not go into the Assyrian
captivity, not as a whole people that is, some indeed were taken
captive by Assyria, but the kingdom of Judah held fast. NOW
NOTICE chapter 5:5 where we are told: "And the pride of Israel
does testify to his face; therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall
in their iniquity, AND JUDAH SHALL FALL WITH THEM!!"

     Ah, the wise shall understand as God said in the last verse
of Hosea. The prophecy of Hosea was written down and became part
of the inspired canon of Scripture BECAUSE THERE WILL BE AN END
TIME FULFILMENT, WHEN ISRAEL AND JUDAH, STILL TWO SEPARATE
PEOPLES AT THE END TIME, WILL ***FALL TOGETHER*** AS WE HAVE SEEN
OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN ISAIAH, JEREMIAH, AND EZEKIEL!!  

     Gomer gave birth to a son (verse 8). He was to be called Lo-
Ammi meaning "not my people." But though to be cast off they
would again be the children of God, the sons of the living God.
And this is where the prophecy steps over to the time of the end
of this age. The children of Judah AND the children of Israel
would appoint themselves ONE HEAD. IT IS THE SAME PROPHECY AS IN
chapter 3. It is the time when the children of Israel will RETURN
and SEEK GOD and DAVID their king ... IN THE LATTER DAYS!   

     There it is in plain language ... IN THE LATTER DAYS; the
same prophecy as we found in Jeremiah chapters 30 to 33 and in
the last chapters of the prophecy of Ezekiel. 
     There is no time in history that any part of Israel has come
back or returned to have David their king. There has only ever
been one David as king over Israel, there has never been another
David after that David. It cannot be referring to the Messiah. It
is silly to even think it could refer to the Messiah. Israel has
never returned to worship God and also to have the Messiah as
their king. There can only be ONE truth to these verses; Israel
will return out of captivity at the time of the end of this age,
to worship God in the form of Christ Jesus, and to have David
RESURRECTED and be their king over them under Christ, and the 12
apostles each ruling a tribe of Israel, just as Jesus in the
Gospels promised them! (verses 10-11).

     This prophecy in Hosea is the same as in Isaiah, Jeremiah,
and Ezekiel. The context of Hosea's time as this prophecy fits in
DOES NOT MATTER, that is the nature of prophecy, it COMES AT YOU
KINDA OUT OF THE BLUE. It was the same for many prophecies
regarding Christ's FIRST COMING, the very name Immanuel prophecy
of Isaiah 7 had a CONTEXT OF THE AGE OF ISAIAH, but it WAS STILL
A PROPHECY OF THE CHRIST!! So it was with a number of prophecies
of Jesus' first coming, there was a context of something else
being discussed, and yet it was also a prophecy to do with the
context of Christ's first coming. Prophecy OFTEN works that way,
and God has done it so many "unlearned" "unwise" in Bible
understanding, will fall and miss the mark; they will just not
get it as we say, they ain't in the grove, hence many become
false prophets. We have many of them in the fundamental
Christianity - they are truly funny-mental when it comes to
understanding Bible prophecy correctly.


CHAPTER 2

     The present Israel of Hosea's days is in analogy here the 
"mother" who has lost her husband (the Lord God) and will be
stripped bare, as in the day she was born, being in Egypt slavery
and having nothing when God chose her to be His wife. God will
not have any more mercy on her, for she has born children of
whoredoms. Israel of Hosea's day has played the harlot. She has
said she will go after her "lovers."  It is exactly as in Ezekiel
- Israel has gone after her lovers, those she thought were in
love with her. God will hedge up the way, she will go after her
lovers but not really find them, her lovers will be not there to
solve her problems. She has forgotten that it was not her lovers
that gave her corn and wine and all that is good, IT WAS GOD who
gave her those things. And they took all those good blessings and
forgot God and went off serving Baal - false religion! 

     This is modern Israel today. This is Britain, her Celyic-Anglo-Saxon
commonwealth children  and the USA. We have been given BLESSINGS
like no other people ever in all history. We have gone after our
lovers. We have forgotten our God. We have allowed our physical
blessings to take us away to serve false religion, even false
Christian religion.

     God says He will take back our corn, our oil, our wine, our
wool, flax and all our blessings, and He will strip us naked. Our
sins will be laid bare in front of our lovers. Our lovers will
not help us, none can deliver us out of the hand of God's
punishment. In fact it is our lovers that will come against us as
we have seen in the book of Ezekiel.
     The Lord will visit upon us the days of Baal, we worship a
false god and so death and falseness will be our end. God will do
it but for a very important reason. TO BRING US BACK TO HIMSELF!
(verses 1-14).

     When Israel is brought back to God they will call him "Ishi"
meaning "my husband" and no more Baali - our false religion will
be swept away. In THAT DAY there will be a covenant made with
them for the beast of the field, and with the fowl of heaven, and
all that creep on the ground, AND God says, "I will break the bow
and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them
to lie safely. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever, yes, I
will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and
in loving kindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto
me in faithfulness: and you shall KNOW THE LORD!" (verses 16-20).


     Read those verses again friends. Can it be that they have
come to pass? Is there any history of Israel, any history of the
Jews (if you still think they are all of Israel) where such a
covenant has ever been made between them and God. Has the sword
and battle STOPPED on the earth, or even the earth of the Holy
Land? Do the Jews (if you think they are all of Israel which they
are not, but even if you do) dwell in SAFETY? Have they ever
dwelt in safety. Have they been betrothed in RIGHTEOUSNESS,
JUDGMENT, LOVINGKINDNESS, IN MERCIES, AND IN FAITHFULNESS?  I DO
NOT THINK SO, BY ANY STRETCH OF IMAGINATION!  The Jews are MAINLY
a SECULAR, NONE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, THEY ARE FAR FROM THIS COVENANT
HERE MENTIONED!
     But this is not for some Jews only. It is for ISRAEL IN THE
FUTURE of the NEW AGE TO COME, the age of the Kingdom of God on
earth!!

"It shall come to pass IN THAT DAY, I will hear, says the Lord, I
will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth. And the
earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and they
shall hear Jezreel (here meaning "God will sow"). And I will sow
her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that has
not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which are not my
people, YOU ARE MY PEOPLE, and they shall say, YOU ARE MY GOD"
(verses 21-23).

     There is no way these verses have ever been fulfilled in the
completeness as here written. Today the heavens do not hear the
earth, why we have GLOBAL WARMING AND A HEAVEN AND EARTH MESS ON
OUR HANDS. The Jews (if you think they are all Israel here which they
are not) have NOT OBTAINED MERCY, THEY ARE STILL HATED AND MANY
FIGHT AGAINST THEM!

     THIS PROPHECY IS FOR A YET FUTURE TIME - THE KINGDOM OF GOD
ON EARTH TIME.


CHAPTER 3

     Hosea is to buy a lover loved of a lover so an adulterous
woman. It is a picture of God and Israel. Israel loving lovers
but not God, hence a spiritual adulterous woman. So Hosea buys an
adulterous woman and tells her she is to abide many days and not
play the harlot - she shall not have a man, not even Hosea. It is
to illustrate that God says Israel will abide many days without
Him as their true love and husband.
     
     It is a prophecy for the last days of this age, for verse 5
says, "Afterwards shall the children of Israel RETURN and SEEK
the Lord their God, and DAVID their king, and shall FEAR the Lord
and His goodness, IN THE LATTER DAYS!"

     If you believe the Jews to be all Israel and David here as
representing the Messiah, then you can see IT HAS NOT YET TAKEN
PLACE! The Jews STILL DO NOT ACCEPT JESUS AS THE MESSIAH! 
     The truth is this is a prophecy for the END TIME, THE LATTER
YEARS OF THIS AGE, WHEN ISRAEL WILL BE GATHERED FROM OUT OF THE
NATIONS SHE HAS BEEN TAKEN CAPTIVE IN, WHEN SHE WILL BE RETURNED
TO THE HOLY LAND, SEEK IN REPENTANCE JESUS THEIR LORD AND KING
AND WHEN DAVID IS RESURRECTED TO BE THEIR KING UNDER THE MESSIAH
CHRIST. IT IS THE SAME PROPHECY AS IN JEREMIAH 30:9 AND EZEKIEL
CHAPTER 34:23,24.


CHAPTER 4

Moral Decay of the People and the Priests

     This is to you children of Israel, to you the people of
North-West Europe, the British Commonwealth and the United states
of America. The Lord has a CONTROVERSY with you all. There is NO
TRUTH, NOR MERCY, NOR KNOWLEDGE of God in the land. What a SMASH
IN THE FACE God gives you. You are full of NO TRUTH, full of lies
and deceit, half-truths, deceptions of all manner. You do not
understand what true "mercy" is - your religion has no clue about
the truth of being "saved by grace." You are classified by the
Lord as having NO KNOWLEDGE! Oh, you have certain so-called
"knowledge" but when it comes to TRUE knowledge of the spirit and
truth of God and His word and way of life, you are BRAINLESS, UN-
KNOWLEDGEABLE!
     You are full of people "swearing" in profanity all over the
place, every minute, every hour, every day. You are full of
people "swearing" in your court system but it means nothing to
them, for you are full of liars. Your society is full of
murderers and killers, stealing in every way, and you are
sexually immoral, from young teens to married couples. Your land
is continually in the state of blood upon blood, never ending
blood being spilt somewhere every minute of the hour.
     The day is coming when, with the very physical earth and
creatures on it and in the sea, YOU AND THEY will be TAKEN AWAY
AS NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.
     Your people will FALL, and what is more, those who are your
spiritual leaders will FALL with you!

     Why are you going to fall? The bottom line is BECAUSE YOU
HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE! You lack the true knowledge that counts, and
because you have chosen to reject the true knowledge that comes
from the fear of the Lord, and serving Him, God will REJECT YOU
as being any true light to the nations around. Notice it, verse
6!  "SEEING YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD, I WILL ALSO
FORGET YOUR CHILDREN!"

     The time is coming when God will not look at the innocent
children any more. He will not hold back your punishment for the
sake of the children. As you and your spiritual leaders (even
your physical leaders) have FORGOTTEN the LAW of God, as you have
rejected it, cast it out of your schools, even your court houses,
and your governments, the Eternal will one day not take into
account the innocent children. 
     You were increased in many ways over these last 3 and 4
hundred years, but as you increased so you SINNED MORE AND MORE
against your God. You kill the innocent un-born each and every
day in your abortion clinics; you have made homosexuality and
lesbianism accepted as even God designed, and you have passed
laws to legalize same sex marriage. Your prime-time TV is full of
SICK-coms where immorality, fornication and adultery is the
common theme of things, or you idolize violence in all kinds of
TV hour-long shows. Your gambling addictions of various types
reach up to heaven in covetousness. Much of your music and
entertainment is morally SICK, ill-mannered and profane in
substance. Your pro sports are laced with greed and corruptions.
     You have increased in sins against the Holy God, and He will
change your glory you had into SHAME!
     You are like vultures feeding on the sins of your people,
just going in circles, sin upon sin, and you set your heart to
continue to have all this iniquity as your everyday society.
     Like the people, like the priest, you are all in the same
boat, and so God says He will PUNISH AND REWARD all alike for the
wrong doings of your lands. IT WILL COME ON YOU. WHAT WE SOW WE
DO EVENTUALLY REAP. YOU WILL REAP THE DEATH OF SIN, FOR YOU HAVE
LEFT OFF TAKING HEED TO THE LORD (verses 1-10).

     God goes on to tell you that you have gone to the strange
and the "star-gazing" the "astrology" the "palm-readers" the
"crystal-ball" fortune-tellers, to seek counsel and the land is
full of whoredoms of many kinds that have taken you away from the
true God.
     God warns Judah to not follow the ways of Israel, but it
seems the ways and life-style of most of Israel is gathered up by
the nations of the whole world.
     Ephraim Britain is indeed joined to IDOLS! She has less than
3 per cent that attend church services on any regular basis.
Ephraim Britain is the SICKEST nation in many ways among all the
nations of the European Common Market Union. You need (if you
have not done so yet) to read on my Website the article "The
Shocking Decline of England."
     The day will come when Ephraim Britain will be ASHAMED for
all of her iniquities and whoredom sins of every kind (verses 11-
19).

     This week of September 15 to 19 2008 saw the mighty "Wall
Street" of Investor Bankers EXPOSED for all the greed, greed, and
more greed, of "I'll get rich and to hell with the rest of you"
FALL to the point of some "experts" saying it was the worse
situation since the 1930s. And again some experts are saying we
will return to a more sensible "money market" of the 1960s where
the rich will not get as rich and the poor will not be as poor or
will not loose what little they have saved. It is one SIN of
Israel that they say took years to build and a sin that once
cracked open has had the USA Government having to SPEND, note it
...... hundreds of BILLIONS (some say maybe a Trillion) of
average Joe's tax dollars to try and keep the sinking ship on top
of the water. Whatever happens over the next year or so, this all
shows not only the sins of some in Israel but HOW FAST things can
CRASH! 

     We live in a world where BIG CHANGES can happen OVERNIGHT!
When all that is written in prophecy comes to pass, the world
will go through such CHANGES in so many ways, among nations,
economies, political scenes, power and trading, religious
influence, what many today may think is far out into dream-
land (the literal destruction of the British Commonwealth and the
United States of America) will simply NOT BE SO SCIENCE-FICTION
at all, but will be for MILLIONS in the European Beast Power the
only good and natural thing to do ... that is to bring the world
to order and peace by killing a one time lover friends, who are not
"with it" - not with the modern "God-designed" (as The Europe
Beast power will look at it) Empire that should rule the world
and bring in the worship of God as decreed by the "christian"
Babylon Beast led by the false prophet of Revelation, who of
course will call himself God on earth, and will have over a
BILLION members to give verification to that statement.

     LARGE CHANGES on the world scene are yet to come, to bring
together the downfall of modern Israel. But the Eternal God has
said it will happen, and it will in His time frame.

Our Daily Bread #6

To Encourage us to Spiritual Maturity

                                GOING BALD



Read: Judges 16:6-20


He did not know that the Lord had departed from him. - Judges
16:20


     Barney had always been proud of his thick, wavy hair. But
then he began to lose it. Finally just one lone hair remained on
top of his shiny  dome. One morning Barney awoke, looked at his
pillow, and was shocked to see that last hair lying there. Jump-
ing out of bed, he ran downstairs crying "Martha, Martha, I'm
bald!"
     That reminds me of the Christian  who begins dabbling in the
things of the world. He gets deeper and deeper in sin, slowly
sliding away from the Lord without even knowing what is
happening. It is not until he has had some startling experience -
perhaps due to God's discipline - that he sees his true
condition. When suddenly brought under the powerful searchlight
of the Word of God, the deceived one is shocked to realize how
subtly and deceitfully Satan has stripped away his spiritual
power and discernment.
     TV, movie, and home video habits reveal how far some people
have slipped. Suggestive words and immoral themes, once
considered offensive, are tolerated as acceptable entertainment.
     To avoid the kind of shock that Barney experienced, it's
important we examine ourselves daily. Say, are you going bald
spiritually? - Richard De Haan

O Lord, help us to recognize When we begin to compromise, And
give us strength to follow through With what we know is right and
true. - Sper

MOST OFTEN, FALLING INTO SIN IS NOT A BLOWOUT BUT A SLOW LEAK.



                              STAYING IN TUNE


Read: 1 John 1:1-2:2


     Years ago, a radio station received letter from a shepherd
who lived on an isolated ranch in the western part of the United
States. Never before had the station received such an unusual
request. It read, "Will you please strike 'A' on the piano in
your studio? I am far from a piano, and the only comfort I have
is my fiddle. Just now it is out of tune. Will you strike 'A' so
that I can get it in time again?" 
     That is a picture of us when our lives get out of tune with
the Savior. The strings of moral conviction, once finely attuned
to God's Word, became  loose through compromise or neglect. Only
the memory of joyous fellowship with God and others remains. It
happens to all of us. And it usually starts with the discord of
selfish attitudes and negative thinking. Secret sins rarely
distort the tone of outward respectability, but sooner or later
an off-key word or deed betrays that something is wrong inside.
     Daily we need to make sure we are in harmony with God. The
Spirit through the Word gives us the sure note to which we can
tune our lives. When we are off key, confession retunes us. When
there is something we must do, obedience keeps us in tune. And
when we feel discouraged and alone, praise helps lift our
spirits. - Dennis DE Haan

You cannot hide your sin from God, He knows what's in your heart,
Confession is the quickest way To make a brand-new start. - Sper

WHEN THE HEART IS IN TUNE WITH CHRIST, THE DISCORDS OF LIFE
BECOME HARMONIOUS.



                           I'M NOT MY OWN MASTER


Read: Revelation 1:12-18


I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive
forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. -
Revelation 1:18


     A"manual for killing" - that's how one critic describes
Derek Humphry's book "Final Exit," which gives instructions on
how to commit suicide. Early in his discussion of self-murder,
Humphry says, "If you consider God the master of you fate, then
read no further."
     That statement raises the decisive questions: Who ultimately
controls life and death? Do we hold the title deeds to our own
person, or does Gad? Who decided when we were to be born? Do we
have the right, because of pain or old age or unhappiness, to end
a life we did not create? Do we, because of our faith in the Lord
of life and death, refuse to talk about fate? Do we share David's
trustful confidence, "My times are in Your hand" (Psalm 31:15)?
Do I affirm with grieving Job even in the face of tragic loss,
"The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name
of the Lord" (Job 1:21)?
     Meanwhile, our faith does not relieve us of responsibility
for our daily tasks and duties. Instead, it strengthens us to
know that God is working in us both "to will and to do for His
good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13). We can therefore gladly commit
the awesome decisions about life and death into His sovereign
hands. - Vernon Grounds

Thy will I choose; I give to Thee All of the life Thou gavest me;
Thy will I choose, no life I ask Except to do Thy given task. -
Anon

OURS IS NOT TO CHOOSE HOW LONG WE CAN LIVE BUT TO LIVE OUR LIFE
AS WELL AS WE CAN.



                           BECOMING WHAT WE ARE


Read: Philippians 3:1-11


The Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty. - 2 Corinthians 3:17


     At a British university, a group of students had raised the
question, "What do you want to be?" Different answers were given
- a champion athlete, an influential politician, a noted scholar.
Shyly, yet definitely, one student said something that caused
thoughtful silence: "You may laugh at me, but I want to be a
saint" Imagine - a saint! Whatever his concept of sainthood, many
in our secular society would view that ambition as very
eccentric. Yet if we are Christians, that ought to be the top
priority goal of our life. To be a saint is simply to be like
Jesus. Paul declared that the overarching purpose of God the
Father is to make us like His Son (Romans 8:29). That's the
essence of sainthood.
     Of course, every believer is guaranteed perfect conformity
to Christ in the world to come. But God does not want us to wait
passively until we enter eternity for that supernatural
transformation (I John 3:2). We are to be cooperating now with
the Holy Spirit to grow more and more into Christlike sainthood
"in this world" (4:17).
     We're already saints (Philippians 1:1) by faith in Christ.
But we face the daily challenge of becoming what we are -
authentic saints in every area of our lives. - Vernon  Grounds

More like the Master I would live and grow More of His love to
others I would show; More self-denial, like His in Galilee, More
like the Master I long to ever be. - Gabriel

TO BE A SAINT IS TO BE LIKE CHRIST.

         TO BE LIKE CHRIST SHOULD BE OUR AIM AND GOAL IN LIFE;

         MANY THINGS MANY THINK ABOUT AS CHRIST LIKE, BUT NOT

         MANY THINK ABOUT THE 4TH OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS—

         OBSERVING THE WEEKLY 7TH DAY SABBATH; JESUS OBSERVED         

         IT, HOW  ABOIUT YOU? 





                          WHO SAYS WHAT'S RIGHT?


Read: Romans 2:1-16


Gentiles, who do not have the law ... show the work of the law
written in their hearts. - Romans 2:14-15


     People who reject absolute standards of right and wrong are
often inconsistent. When they think they are being treated
unfairly, they appeal to a standard of justice that they expect
everyone to adhere to.
     A philosophy professor began each new term by asking his
class, "Do you believe it can be shown that there are absolute
values like justice?" The free-thinking students all argued that
everything is relative and no single law can be applied
universally. Before the end of the semester, the professor
devoted one class period to debate the issue. At the end, he
concluded, "Regardless of what you think, I want you to know that
absolute values can be demonstrated. And if you don't accept what
I say, I'll flunk you!" One angry student got up and insisted,
"That's not fair!" "You've just proved my point," replied the
professor. "You've appealed to a higher standard of fairness."
     God's moral standards are in the Bible, and He has given us
a conscience to tell us right from wrong (Romans 2;1415). Every
time we use the words good and bad, we imply a standard by which
we make such judgments. Biblical values are not outdated. They
are good for any age because they originate with an eternal,
unchanging God. - Dennis De Haan

God has not left us in the dark About what's wrong or right, For
through His works and in His Word His Spirit gives us light. - D.
De Haan

ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT'S WRONG.



                            A CORRECTABLE MIND


Read: Proverbs 9:7-12


Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man,
and he will love you. - Proverbs 9:8


     If your attitude toward being corrected is "Nobody's going
to tell me I'm sinning," you probably fit the description of the
"scoffer" in Proverbs 9:8. Anyone who tries to correct you will
risk being hated by you. On the other hand, if you accept the
correction of someone who rebukes you, you are "wise," according
to Proverbs 9:8, and you will love that person.
     By nature, we don't like to be told we have done wrong. I
have had to resist feelings of anger and wounded pride on more
than one occasion when someone pointed out to me that I was in
the wrong. (You may have had a similar experience.) But later I
was glad I held those reactions in check and listened because
what was said actually helped me.
     Proverbs 9:12 says, "if you are wise, you are wise for
yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone." During the
years I was a pastor, I saw many confirmations of that truth as I
lovingly and truthfully confronted people with their sin
(Galatians 6:1). The wise who received correction reaped personal
blessing. But those who scoffed tended to harvest personal pain
and grief.
Lord, I want to be a wise person. Give me a correctable mind. -
Herb Vander Lugt

He is a friend who tells the truth Yet tempers it with love; And
he who takes the truth to heart Gains wisdom from above. - D. De
Haan

ONE PROOF OF YOUR LOVE IS HOW YOU HANDLE REPROOF.



                                JUST DO IT


Read: James 1:19-27


Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
- James 1:22


     John Wesley said it well. Thousands have echoed it since.
"Me problem  of problems is getting Christianity into the life."
What is it that makes putting the Christian faith into practice
so difficult? Maybe it's because we assume that it's enough
simply to know God's truth in our heads.
     Most of us have heard more sermons than we can count. We may
even take elaborate notes on what we hear. We tune in to several
religious broadcasts on the radio, and we watch a few more on
television. We read the Bible and read "Our Daily Bread"
regularly. We feel good about what we know, and we are quick to
debate anyone who disagrees with our understanding of Scripture.
     What else is left? The answer is as simple as it is obvious:
Just do it!
     At the end of his initial consultation with a client, the
famous psychoanalyst Alfred Adler would ask a perceptive
question: "And what would you do if you were cured?" The patient
would give an answer. Adler would listen, then get up, open the
door, and reply, "Well, then go and do it!"
     How do you get God's truth into your fife? The answer is as
obvious as it is ignored. In God's strength, and in loving
obedience to Him, just do it! - Haddon Robinson


Help us, O Lord, to heed Your Word, Its precepts to obey;
And may we fight the tendency To go in our own way.. - Sper
