A month ago, large quake in Idaho. Still having aftershocks.
Yellowstone volcano is producing a ring of carbon monoxide.
Col1:13 says
The Father "who hath delivered us from the power of darkness , and hath translated ( us )into the kingdom of his dear Son"
Note the past tense in " hath "
This says to me that all believers are NOW in Jesus' kingdom
Jesus says elsewhere
" The kingdom of heaven is at hand"
The kingdom is within you Luke 17:21
So yes the kingdom is at hand within you, the kingdom of light that the evil ones hate, and will avoid, because light drives out darkness
So we need to proclaim it, so they can hear it
AND FAITH COMES BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD
proclamation allows our ears to hear God's Word, thus increasing our faith?
We need to hear it as well!
If you are wondering whether to open this Book from God & do what He says, I urge you to begin reading (maybe start with Genesis to learn about the Creator God & his chosen people, Israel. In Genesis, you will find how the first man & woman disobeyed God & became sinners. That sin nature we now all have which was passed down to us. God could have wiped us out forever, but His Love for us prevented Him doing this. He saw that man couldn't obey His Law perfectly to get right with Him, so He came Himself to this Earth, in the person of Jesus Christ, His Son, to give His Life on our behalf as payment for our sins. This was such great love, that God would save us & satisfy His Anger to sin, to promise us eternal life ( John 3:16). To those who hear His Message & repent of their sins through Jesus Christ, are promised to receive His Spirit & new life. How do we respond? We love Him more for what He has done & want to please Him in our lives.
So to read the Bible & do what God says is what every child of God wants to do. So it is very important for you.
That seems to be straight forward. He made beast like beast are ie after their kind etc. He made them all like they are and or could have been if we had to stay in the Garden of Eden; and in regard to angels; He made the Heaven and earth; and Angels are a product of Heaven. We are a product of earth, that was given a living soul.
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
I would think so as
16And
God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
So that would be the sun to rule the day; and the moon to rule the night created on the 4th day and he made the stars also
1. chapters 1-11: Creation of the world and the first story of mankind.
2. chapters 12-50: The history of the ancestors of Israel.
It begins with the affirmation that God created the universe, and ends with a promise that God will continue to show his concern for his people.
To record the history of the faith of a nation and to keep this faith alive.
Daniel was aware of the prophet Jeremiah's prophecy on the coming desolation of Jerusalem ( Jer 25:11-12, 29:10-14) & Israel's return to Palestine. But there would be a time in the future when Jerusalem would be rebuilt, the Messiah would come & give His Life as prophesied, & after that (under Roman rule), in AD 70, Titus, the Emperor, would march into Jerusalem & destroy it & the Temple.
So verse 26, directly refers to this time of the destruction of Jerusalem, when "the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood (not water, but the appearance of a flood of warriors), and unto the end of the war (Jewish-Roman wars of AD 66 - 135), desolations are determined."
However, this reference to Titus & his army has its anti-type in the future Anti-Christ (possibly out of a rebuilt Roman Empire), as verse 27 implies (giving a description of Anti-Christ's behaviour with the Jews & his desecration of the rebuilt Temple). I have written briefly here, mindful that there are various interpretations to this passage from others who are better studied than me, & as well, I've not given the meaning & breakdown of the "weeks" of time mentioned in this passage as you may well be familiar with their meaning. I hope this helps in your understanding.

Wear bandanas or face masks outside. Do not touch your eyes, nose, mouth or face with hands.
Wash clothes that have been outside around coughing people.
Wash hands often.
Wash fresh fruits & vegetables with soapy water; rinse and cover It.
This is working for a lot of people.
It is constraining, miserable, lonely, but it has to be done. Take responsibility for yourself and loved ones.
Pray over your food for snacks, sneaks and meals. Ask the Lord to bless and sanctify the food and make it holy for consumption.
Pray the Lord's Prayer that Jesus taught to us. Thank God in Jesus name :)

I find that amazing that the heaven and the earth was created from the beginning even before light; And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
The Heaven and earth were created on the first day along with light. I mean it is amazing that would be created on the first day; but when I think about it; if I was God; that is what I would have done as that to me seems the natural order of things when there is a God. At what other point could you have created Heaven. Surely it would not be an after thought; and yet thinking like a man; I have read that so many times and just considered it natural without thinking about it; but lately I did and i thought so wonderful and even a proof of his existence if indeed someone was looking for such proof. I just love reading it as it sounds wonderful. Genesis 1 and 2; I think is my favourites; as I am not much of a reader and all those generations confuses me; although I do like other parts of Genesis, the flood; cities that were destroyed, confusing the language etc.
Same way Chapter 2 is actually the partial details of 3rd and 6th day. Gen 1:27 nowhere says how did God create them i.e out of dust, plants, or magic. Then Gen 2:7 then clarifies how did God created the man and women mentioned in Gen 1:27. Genesis Chapter 2 is actually details of creation of 6th day and not outside the original creation.
The legend of Lilith is actually part of Plan of prince of the air. He always introduces confusion and alternative stance to confuse. That is why Word of God titles him as father of lies and confusion. Paul clearly says that our fight is not of blood and flesh in Eph. 6:12. This confusion is part of the battle.
God (The LET US) existed before Creation. He's the Alpha and the Omega.
Original language in Genesis, says: in Beginning. Not in the beginning.
He created TIME first. Everything on earth and in the universe, was going to be regulated on time and seasons.
Everything scientist seek to explain: Time, Force. Action, Matter; is explained in Genesis 1:1. One verse. What a mighty God we serve.
Yes he sees mankind all through history (HIS STORY). But he gave us free will.
After Satan was thrown to earth by Michael the Archangel, he was here also with his will. I call him the I will I will I will mess up Gods plans. There's a scripture that says God is at work within our will to help us align our will with His , for our life. I need a lot of that, so I ask for it.
So you can see that we are the owner operators of our will. Yes God sees what we may choose. If we're completely closed off to the Holy Spirit, we make huge mistakes at times. Sometimes we miss out on Gods best for us because we are frequently boneheads about choices. We spend the rest of our lives lamenting that we wish we had not chosen that disaster.
I absolutely love God for that. He had my devotion at hello, Yom Kippur 1985. I had this vision one time of flying with the clouds, and I'd inhale this air that was so Good. Couldn't inhale enough. The air of heaven is faith. We have so much to look forward to. All the Lord needs is a open heart that wants to be filled with love. God is Love.
He's not mean. His judgments are righteous. Instead of cross judging Him. We should wonder why? He will show us the answer. If we skim like ice skaters through the Bible, we miss important thought.
We often close our eyes to things we don't want to see. If we miss the mark.. it's sin.
That's why Jesus was willing to pay full price. It was decided before Time started ticking on earth. Open your hearts, not your minds.
Genesis 2:7 And the Lord formed (mould) man of the DUST of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 1:27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female. Genesis 2:22
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
GOD DID NOT give Adam dominion over OTHER men or women!
Just like everyone else that has lived prior and now, OUR COLOR came from the same dust.
Genesis 11:1-9 is the account of the Tower of Babel; which was for evil by Nimrod. God changed the language of the people from one to many. The Lord scattered them all over the earth. Nothing is said further about races or colors. It happened back in the dust God used. Adams name in original text means, RED. That doesn't mean Adam was Native American.
You have full cause to be at peace with the color your ancestors were. Who knows what color Moses was, but he married a woman from Midian, which was predominantly dark skinned. His sister Miriam made a protest about it and God afflicted her with leprosy for a while. Numbers chapter 12.
God hates racism of any kind.
Before God the creator, no one has ever had a right to persecute people of color. If they were reading the Bible rightly, they would know that; in their hearts.
Satan has used his WILL to enter in and pervert the truth. People bought into it and it's been this color versus that color ever since.
God is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Spirit. Jesus is the Son of Man. (He has color)
Believe the Bible, pass it forward. I thank God we're not all the same color! :D
The "Love Covenant" of God The Father is with His Wife, God The Mother first, then to their Spiritual Children.
Gender starts in the Spiritual-Realm of God The Father, and God The Mother first, and that's not a bad thing, so accept it, and get over it!
Genesis 1:26,27, Galations 4:26
The perfect-order of a family is, Father, Mother and Children, spirit ually first, then physically. To be a true Child of God, you need to know your Spiritual Parents, and accept Them.
However, because of "the fall", the sin of Adam+Eve, an evil spiritual-realm of darkness now exists, and too many men are rejecting the perfect-order of God, MelquisedecLisbet.
In the Spirit-Realm every thing exists before it exists in the physical-realm; like houses, cars, animals, plants, spices, men, women, male, female and all the details, design and spiritual engineering that go along with these things.
The Spiritual Light of God, Jesus Christ(The Holy Spirit in the flesh, God The Spiritual Mother), and God The Spiritual Father, with Their Spiritual Children, will eventually totally eliminate the spiritual-realm of darkness of this world.
Mark 2:27
Then Jesus declared, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."
Mark 7:19
because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated." (Thus all foods are clean.)
Romans 14:3
For one person has faith to eat all things, while another, who is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.
Romans 14:5
One man regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 4:10
But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
Colossians 2:20
If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations: These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
1 Timothy 4:3
They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
Hebrews 9:10
They consist only in food and drink and special washings--external regulations imposed until the time of reform.
This is with regards to your comment on the Sabbath. Right from the creation, God has set apart one day as the Holy Day, A day of rest. He sanctified the Sabbath day, which is the seventh day of the week and not any other day or all the days of the week. We can also see from the commandments written by God Himself to Remember to keep the Sabbath Day Holy; Six days you shall work but the Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord Thy God( Exodus 20:8-11); It is a covenant sign between God and His Children( Ezekiel 20:20).
However, most of our Fellow Christian friends worship God on the first day of the week, which is merely man made and that day has neither been considered as a day to worship nor God has changed the day of worship from Saturday, the 7th day of the week to Sunday, the first day of the week.
Jesus, while He lived on this earth, kept the Sabbath and went to the church on Sabbath days as His custom was( Luke 4:16). Jesus even said, in Matthew 5:17 that He has not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill. Jesus also said, if you love Me, keep My commandments( John 14:15). So, its very plain and simple, if you love Jesus, Keep His commandments.
As we live in the last days, there is going to be a time where we all are going to face a testing time with regards to the day of worship. All the end time prophecies as mentioned in the book of Revelation are fulfilling and soon, Sunday law is going to be enforced globally. The Question is whether we are obedient to God's law by observing the Bible Sabbath or following the man made commandments( Revelation 14:12) These are explained definitely not to scare anyone; but the Scripture says, Whoever obeys His words are going to receive the seal of God and the others the mark of the Beast.
The beautiful part is, we are going to observe Sabbaths in Heaven as well!( Isaiah 66:23). So, why don't we start right here on earth! May the Holy Spirit lead you to His truth. Amen.
Thank you for your response!
1 Thess 5:23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Paul says spirit and soul and body)
Isaiah 10:18 - And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth. (Body and Soul different)
Matthew 10:28 - Jesus said: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ..........destroy both soul and body in hell.
Isaiah 26:9 - With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Soul and Spirit are different)
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
.... dividing asunder of soul and spirit, (the word of God divides the soul and spirit)
so the Bible ALONE teaches man has a body and a soul and a spirit = 3 parts = 1 man
Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let US make man in our image, after OUR likeness
Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 9:6 - Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
So IF one man is Body, Soul and Spirit which is 3 parts and God made man in HIS IMAGE
How many parts is God? 3? a Godhead? or trinity?
