Cross Jesus - sewingdivine.com Five days before His crucifixion, Jesus had seated Himself upon a colt, the foal of a donkey, to travel a rough and dusty road to Jerusalem. While this simple, mundane act was something people did daily, for Jesus, it fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy and once again identified Him as Israel’s Messiah.   But Jewish eyes were veiled .   Many who had heard Him teach and witnessed His miracles of the past three years took palm branches and met Him on the road. “Hosanna!” they cried. “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD. The King of Israel.” Yet others were there only for the show.   “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified,” Jesus said.   Knowing the meaning of His statement was hidden from the disciples, [1] He elaborated using a metaphor all could relate to.   But Jewish eyes were veiled .   This was the moment in time when Jesus would be the grain of wheat that falls into the...

  https://www.etsy.com/listing/1589111068/we-stand-with-god-christian-flag-america Do you believe God’s Word and His promises? Well, that’s a ridiculous question. Of course, I do. Okay, then answer this: When God Most High uttered the words forever , eternal , and irrevocable , did He truly mean unending ? Or are these just momentary words?   The LORD Almighty never speaks frivolous words. He always says what He means and means what He says. Since I came to know Jesus personally and was born again of His Spirit, I have lived by one rule regarding the Bible: God said it and I believe it. Whether the Old Testament or New, “ ALL Scripture is God-breathed …” [1] It’s the Greek word theopneustos , meaning “divinely breathed in [or out].” [2] And, ALL means ALL.   How amazing we are allowed to read words spoken by the King of the Universe, whose covenant, forever, and memorial name is Yahweh, I AM WHO I AM. [3] But that’s not all, believers have an anointing fro...

“Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”  [1]   Israel’s war is growing, and many Israelis say it hasn’t yet begun. Still, the war prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 seems to be on everyone’s mind.   However, leading up to Ezekiel prophesying, “‘Thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,’” the Almighty provided this prophet with visions of Israel’s future blessing—the first, dry bones, the second, two sticks. And, both prophecies spoke of the same event: the people of Judah and Israel united again and back in the Land promised to them by God Most High.   God commanded Ezekiel, a priest of Judah captive in Babylon because of Judah’s sin, to prophesy to dry bones , and when he did, stages of life appeared. The bones came together, sinew appeared, and skin. The LORD then said to Ezekiel, “Prophesy to the breath … say…breathe on these slain, that they may live.” He did, and, “…they l...

At sundown on March 20, 2019, the Jews began their celebration of Purim  and it runs through sundown on March 21, 2019. Purim is a joyous and raucous festival celebrating their victory over the wicked Amalekite, Haman, as told in the Bible’s book of Esther. During Purim, the scroll of Esther, or “Megillat Esther” is read and sometimes acted out. Gifts are given to the poor, and they munch triangular-shaped cookies called hamantaschen, named for the villainous Haman. [1] However, many do not believe Esther recounts true events and they, in essence, reduce it to fairytale status. [2] Yet, we know it’s TRUE! “Today, Purim is celebrated as a noisy and fun festival. Some view it as a kind of Jewish April Fool’s Day …” [3] As Christians who believe every word of our Bible is infallible and God-breathed, we have not so jokingly dubbed our April Fool’s Day , the Atheist’s Holiday , based on Psalm 53:1:   “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” But, ...
