Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord,
There are gods many, and lords many, but the blessed nation is that nation whose God is the Lord,
. is the God of the Hebrews, the God of Israel (Exodus 5:1, 10:3). Being the merciful God that He is, He has sent His only begotten Son, , to be the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). Therefore, has given Him all power in both heaven and in earth, which makes God of the blessed nation: the Nation of .
Thus saith the Lord,
: "If 'My' people, which are called by 'My' name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
The people of the blessed nation are called by the "name of God Almighty,
(Yahweh). In other words, they are called "the Yahwehs, which is the English transliteration of the Hebrew .
According to 2 Kings 17:29: ... every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. A high place is designated as "a temple used by the ancient Semites ...; and a temple is described as "a building for religious practice (as referenced in Merriam Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software).
Given that "every nation on the face of the Earth made themselves gods of their own, and put them in buildings in every city where, to this day, they conduct their religious practices, they do not acknowledge
, the God of the Holy Bible, neither do they keep His laws. According to Psalm 96:5, "All the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord, , our God made the heavens.
Because the nations keep not the laws of
, they are nothing to Him, and they are counted to Him as "less than nothing; and even more than that, they are vanity (Isaiah 40:17).
The Lord,
, has avouched us-Yehuwdah (Judah) and Israel-this day to be His peculiar people. And as His peculiar people, we are obligated to keep "all His commandments. In doing so, He shall make us high above all nations which He has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that we may be an holy people unto Him-thereby, the most blessed nation of people upon the Earth (Deuteronomy 26:18-19).
But when the nations of the Earth shall see that we are the blessed nation, then they shall say, ... Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord,
, our God is in all things that we [Yehuwdah and Israel] call upon Him for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, ...? (Deuteronomy 4:6-8).
And many of these nations shall also come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
, ...; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord, , from Jerusalem (Micah 4:2).
Our God,
, is great, and He is above all gods (Psalm 135:5); and under the kingship of His Son, Nb@ , all nations of the Earth shall be blessed with peace, good will toward all men, and happiness. For it is written, Happy is that people whose god is the Lord, (Psalm 144:15).
Consider This Thought
"The eyes of the Lord,
, are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3)
Budgeting Tips On How To Get To the Feasts Three Times In A Year
Our God,
, commands us to appear before Him three times in a year at His holy feasts. Without proper planning and knowing how to manage your money wisely, this may seem like a difficult task. However, if you learn how to spend your money wisely, keeping the feasts, as commanded by , can be quite simple.
With that in mind, we have, once again, compiled more suggestions that you may find useful in helping to cut back on your household expenditures.
Household Budgeting: Food For Thought
It has been concluded that one area of your household budget that you spend far too much money on is "food. Here are three additional points to remember the next time you plan to buy food:
allowed Satan to plague Job with sore boils from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head, destroying all of his monetary wealth, children, family, and friends, Job still did not lose faith or turn his back on the power of the Lord, . As a result, blessed Job with twice as much at the end of
his affliction as he had in the beginning
(Job,Chapters 1 through 42).
revealed unto the Son of Man, , that the mental
condition of the so-called Black people of America today is cryptically described in Ezekiel, Chapter 37.We are continuing our ongoing series with part 13 of "The Ten Plagues of Egypt. Over four thousand years ago,
greatly multiplied His plagues throughout the land of Egypt because of the willful rebellion of ancient Pharaoh to release the children of Israel from bondage. Repeatedly, sent His servants, Moses and Aaron, before Pharaoh with a divine message. Because Pharaoh hardened his heart time and time again, sent forth unrelenting and horrifying plagues, such that Pharaoh was eventually forced to release the children of Israel from servitude.
In these last days,
has again sent His servants to address another chief ruler-the President of the United States, George W. Bush, who is like unto Pharaoh of Egypt-with a divine message analogous to that of Moses and Aaron: Thus saith the Lord, , Let My Son go, that He may serve Me.... However, regardless of the many authoritative mandates that Himself has sent directly to President George W. Bush, he yet continues to ignore the command to release from the absolute authority and controlling powers of the U.S. Parole Commission. Therefore, to bring President Bush into absolute submission to His "divine will, shall only increase and make more intense His plagues upon not only President Bush, but also upon his servants and his people, until he, like Pharaoh, consents to release from captivity.
With that, let us begin to decode the sixth plague, which is found in Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 8:
"And the Lord,The first thing
said unto Moses and Aaron was to, "Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, .... The phrase take to according to the Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, copyright 1999, Computer Software, means "resort to; and to resort is "to have recourse for accomplishing something, often as a final available option. In seeking a second opinion, the Merriam Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software, defines the phrase take to as "to devote oneself to; and the Microsoft Encarta Reference Library, copyright 1993-2003, Computer Software, defines re-course as "something to which a person turns for protection. Also, the phrase resort to is "to turn to something, sometimes something extreme, for help in dealing with a problem. Extreme is depicted as "drastic; while drastic means "having a powerful effect or far-reaching consequences.
By way of explanation, it can be substantiated that
told Moses and Aaron to turn to or devote themselves to "... handfuls of ashes of the furnace .... instructed Moses and Aaron to do this as a final available option to have for help in dealing with their problem and for protection in accomplishing that which He had told them to do. For knew that such action would have a very powerful effect or far-reaching consequences. With that said, let us now find out what these "... handfuls of ashes of the furnace ... are referring to.
The word handful describes a "lump (according to the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Soft-ware). Lump, in the same reference source, is "a mass; while mass in the same source is "a great number. Succinctly, ... handfuls of ashes of the furnace ... indicate a great number of ashes of the furnace.
According to the Webster's Third New International Dictionary of The English Language Unabridged, copyright 1971, Volume I, A-K, on page 127, ashes "are something that symbolizes grief. The Merriam Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Soft-ware, characterizes grief as "disaster. A disaster is "a sudden, calamitous event, such as a natural catastrophe, that causes great damage or loss of life (as documented in the New Oxford American Dictionary, copyright 2001, Computer Software). While sudden is referenced in The Oxford Universal Dictionary, copyright 1955, on page 2069, as "happening without warning or taking place all at once; furnace, on page 593, is characterized as "a time of severe torture. Torture, on page 2216, is "the action of afflicting severe suffering on someone as coercion in order to get them to do something; and the word coerce, the base word of coercion, means "to compel to a choice (as referenced in the Merriam Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, copyright 2003, Computer Software).
With this added information, we can state conclusively that the clause, take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, translates to mean that
commanded Moses and Aaron to turn to or devote themselves to a great number of calamitous events-such as natural catastrophes-that would happen without warning and that would take place all at once. told them to turn to these natural catastrophes for help and protection as a final available option in accomplishing that which He told them to do. These natural catastrophes would serve to cause great damage or loss of life in Egypt as well as afflict Pharaoh with severe suffering. In fact, the suffering would be so severe that it would have a powerful effect upon Pharaoh and far-reaching consequences, so much so that they would eventually compel him to make a choice or to do something that would be in contrariety to his doctrine. Subsequently, he would be forced to finally agree, once again, to release the children of Israel from captivity.
Now, let us continue on with what
told Moses and Aaron to do, as it is spelled out in the remainder of Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 8:
"... and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.Now although
was speaking unto both Moses and Aaron, He yet specified to ... let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Comprehension of this requires diligent research. So according to the Webster's Universal College Dictionary, copyright 1997, on page 762, sprinkle means "to disperse here and there. The Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software, describes disperse as "to discharge. Discharge means "to release or send forth; and the phrase here and there (under the word here) in the Webster's Universal College Dictionary, copyright 1997, on page 380, is denoted as "in various places. Place, the singular of the plural word places, on page 604 is "a state, city, or locality.
Relying on the creditability of these facts, we can assert that when
told Moses to "sprinkle it ..., He, in fact, commanded Moses to release or send forth calamitous events-such as natural catastrophes-that would happen without warning and all at once in various states, cities, or localities that were ...toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. This brings us to the next clause in Exodus, Chapter 9, verse 8 to decode.
Therefore, in accordance with Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Soft-ware, toward means "near or close to; while in the Webster's Third New Inter-national Dictionary of The English Language Un-abridged, copyright 1971, Volume II, H-R, on page 1046, it states that heaven is "OE hama-more at HAME. Hame, on page 1024, is a Scot. var[iation] of home. On page 1082, home is "headquarters. The Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 559, verifies that headquarters (reference number 612.4) is "the capital. The Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Soft-ware, describes the word capital as "the seat of government. Sight (reference number 5869), in The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary, copyright 1990, is ayin, pronounced ah'-yin, and it means "before. And before means "in front of or in the presence of.
Thus, it can be concluded from these facts that the clause ... toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh ...means that Moses followed the command of
to release or send forth calamitous events-such as natural catastrophes-without warning and all at once in various states, cities, or localities that were near or close to Pharaoh's home-the seat of government. To get the most powerful effect, commanded Moses to do this in front of or in the presence of Pharaoh. In addition, the expression seat of government refers the reader to the word "capitol (according to the Webster's New World Dictionary & Thesaurus, copyright 1998, Computer Software). In the Bartlett's Roget's Thesaurus, copyright 1996, on page 100, capitol (reference number 68.12) is synonymous to "Washington and the White House.
Therefore, the gravity of all the above facts support the overall conclusion that, like in the day of Moses over four thousand years ago,
-as a final available option for help or protection in accomplishing His will-has commanded His servants to turn to or devote themselves to agreat number of calamitous events-such as natural catastrophes-that shall happen without warning and come all at once. These natural catastrophes-which shall cause great damage or loss of life in America-shall be released or sent forth in various states, cities, or localities close to or near the seat of government-Washington, DC or the White House.
The servants of
shall, like Moses and Aaron, do all these things in front of or in the presence of the mighty President Bush so that He may be afflicted with severe suffering. These natural catastrophes shall have such a powerful effect upon President George W. Bush and such far-reaching consequences that, like Pharaoh of Egypt, sooner or later he shall be compelled to make a choice or to do something that is contrary to his doctrine. Ultimately, he shall reluctantly consent to release , the Firstborn Son of , from captivity-more specifically, from under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Parole Commission.
In our next article, we shall reveal these natural catastrophes that shall take place without warning and that shall happen all at once; thus, resulting in great damage and untold loss of life in America. Stay tuned.
