God is All Things to Everything

Lessons from Josiah

We'll apply that to what we saw yesterday in the White House! Zelensky [Ukraine] showed up in his pajamas,  rather than coming dressed fit to sign the agreement. He went back on his word publicly right in front of the whole world. Donald Trump stood his ground, and showed very clearly that he wants that war ended and that this man is fooling around.

• Could it be all the corruption where the money went?
• Could it be that Zelensky wants to extract more money?
• Could it be that he just plain stubborn?
• Don't know!

We'll have to see what happens, but let's learn a lesson from this. Let's come to Jer. 1 and let's see something here concerning Jeremiah. This tells us a couple of very interesting things, indeed. God plans and works ahead!

Jeremiah 1:1: "The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests…"

So, when you read about Hilkiah back there in 2-Chron., that's Jeremiah's father!

"…who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, to whom the Word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign" (vs 1-2).

Now, that becomes important because we will see that there was an overlapping of when Josiah started to clean up the things that he did.

Now, a little background on that. Josiah followed the short reign of his brother Ammon, who was executed because he was so evil. But that followed the reign of Manasseh, the worst king in the history of the Bible.

If you think it was tough during the Biden years, think on this: Manasseh reigned 55 years! Everything was upside down and backward and sinful, and it was really a terrible situation indeed.

The homosexuals ran everything, idols everywhere, all of these things against God. So, let's come here to 2-Chron. and let's see about Josiah.

His grandfather was Hezekiah. Now Hezekiah did really, really, really good. God extended his life 15 years because of his prayer and his love and his devotion to God.

He turned back the army of the Assyrians, and all the children of Israel went out there and it took them days and days to get all of the loot, all of the gold, all of the treasure that the Assyrians captured when they went down and conquered Egypt and were on their way back. They were going to take over and conquer Judah.

So, Isaiah and Hezekiah went into the temple and opened the letter from the king of Assyria and said, 'O God, we need you to fight this battle for us.' So, God said, 'For my name, I will do it.' The army was destroyed and after that, God gave Hezekiah 15 years extra.

Then he did something in his old age, which he shouldn't have done. The ambassadors from Babylon came over to talk to him, because they heard of the great battle, they heard of how everything was destroyed and they wanted to find out how he was doing and so forth.

So, Hezekiah got carried away with himself and his vanity and he showed them all the treasure that they received from taking it from the Assyrians! Then God sent Isaiah to talk to him and he said:

• Who were these men? Oh, they were ambassadors from Babylon!
• What did you show them? Everything!

That was a fatal mistake! What happened? Isaiah said, 'All of this is going to Babylon.' Now, it took 100-plus years before it took place.

2-Chronicles 33:1: "Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem."

It did show right here that he prayed, he came back out of Babylon and he started to clean up the temple area. But he died.

Then Ammon, the brother of Josiah, was king for just a very short period of time; he reigned two years!

Then here's Josiah:

2-Chronicles 34:1: "Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign…" Now think about that! God sometimes deals with children, and he watched over Josiah until he completed his reign:

Verse 2: "And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right nor to the left. For in the eighth year of his reign…" (vs 2-3)—so he's 16!

"…while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of David his father. And in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah…" (v 3)—and he did all of these things! He cleaned it up!

Verse 8: "And in the eighteenth year of his reign…"—so here it is 10 years later!

He cleaned everything up, and Hilkiah the priest found the money so the temple could be fixed, and then he later found the Book of the Law and brought it to Josiah and read to him.

Then what happened? He was purging everything, cleaning everything up, cleaning the temple up! Then Shaphan, the scribe of Hilkiah, read to him all the curses that God was going to bring upon Jerusalem. He tore his clothes and repented! Just think how bad it was, there was no other prophet except Huldah the prophetess.

So, he said, 'Go ask Huldah what's going to happen.

God said, 2-Chronicles 34:27: "Because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before your God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and humbled yourself before Me, and tore your clothes and wept before Me…"—it's not going to happen in your lifetime!

Then Josiah started cleansing everything. He forced all the leaders to come and make a pledge to come and to keep the Word of God. So, this began in his 12th year, and he lived to be 39!

Now let's draw the parallel with what is happening with President Trump. He's bringing all those who have decent character into his cabinet. Through what he has learned, he has learned that God is dealing with him to do whatever God wants him to do. At his age and at his wealth and everything, that means nothing.

After what God has done to him, he's willing to turn back all the evil that he can possibly turn back. Those who are working with him are also dedicated to that, and he makes sure that that's the first thing that they do.

Now, did you hear what happened at his first cabinet meeting? Very much like King Josiah, he had all the leaders come there and swear to God:

• that they would follow God
• that they would do what is right
• that they would clean up the land

That lasted for 12 years!

Now Trump is only in there for four years, but he finally got his cabinet together this past week and had their first meeting. All of the leaders of the national government of America in their different departments were there and he had the meeting started with an opening prayer, and you can get that online.

Excellent prayer, he is a Protestant. Granted, the Protestants are part way with God, but he prayed to the Father. There was no 'Hail Mary.' There was none of this mumbo jumbo of the Catholics, and it was a sincere prayer, and then, guess what happened after the prayer? The whole cabinet sitting there sang the song How Great Thou Art!

Have you ever heard of that before? No! The whole cabinet was there. Why is all of this happening with Trump?

• he doesn't need money so you can't bribe him
• he doesn't need power or position, he has it

He sees the suffering of the people and all of the perversion, and he's doing as much as he can to get rid of it!

How long that will last, we'll have to wait and see; but there's the parallel there.

Josiah brought in all the leaders and they pledged right at the 'king's stone,' right there at the temple where the king was to stand and present himself to God.

Donald Trump in the White House had all the cabinet leaders there and they all were there to hear the prayer that they need to serve the people of God. To do what is right and stop all the killing and all of the things that are going on.

{speculation}: One other thing, Donald Trump may start it, I don't know if he will finish it, but it looks like that God is using him to line up everything to begin to fulfill the end-time prophecies. There's a very good chance, we don't know for sure, but it's interesting with him saying that America is going to take over the restoration of Gaza.

That answers the question: how you going to get all the Arabs out of there and Hamas out of there?

• the Arabs aren't going to do it
• the Jews can't do it

but the solution that Donald Trump came up with…

Now we don't know how long it's going to take, but one of these days, they're going to learn where the temple needs to be built.

We know that in 2-Thess. 2 and Rev. 11 that there has to be a temple. We know that the Temple Institute—templeinstitute.org—has many things all ready to go for the temple service.

Now, they have five red heifers, but they're approaching the end of their three years. So, what's going to happen if time extends beyond the three years and they can't use them for making the ashes of the red heifer?

Some people say they can kill it and then store the ashes. Well, that's a possibility, but in showing a picture of this on television, they had one other red cow, and this one was a bull. So, that's a safety catch for them if they run beyond the three years, they can breed these heifers and see what they come up with.

So this gives us some timeframe to look at and what's going to happen and how these parallels will work.

But what if Trump lives long enough, along with Netanyahu to be there at the ceremony of the laying of the cornerstone of the temple? Think of that!

Now, when they lay that cornerstone, we don't know how long it's going to take for them to build it. They could build it in a couple of years. It might take ten years. We don't know, but know that the days are short!

When the temple has been fully dedicated and the sacrifices start 1,290 days after that, as we know in the book of Daniel, sacrifices stop. Then the abomination of desolation comes!

So this is how close we are to some of the things at the end-time that ties in with what Bruce Bird was bringing in his message about the mark of the beast: End-Time Signs of the Mark of the Beast.

So these are some parallels:

• God was working with Josiah
• God is working with Donald Trump

As long as the cabinet members stay yielded to doing and serving the people, and Donald Trump stays the course, then they'll be used to bring about what God wants at the end-time!

This is the lesson we can learn from the books of Kings and Chronicles that we can see a parallel in the end-time.

God is All Things To Everything

I want you to think on that! Let's use that as a guide in coming up to the time of the Passover.

God's creation is something! Let's see what Jesus says. Let's see there is not one thing from the greatest galaxy in the universe down to a nano.

• Do you know what a nano is? A nano is the smallest known particle to men that passes through everything that looks like it's physical without disturbing anything!
• How did that happen? Think on that!

Let's come to Revelation:

• so we know what is happening
• so we understand what God is doing

We need to have a greater, more profound understanding of God and how completely everything depends upon God!

If God were not there, these things wouldn't be. The book of Revelation is quite a fantastic book!

Revelation 1:1: "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him… [God the Father gave to Jesus] …to show his servants…" That's all of us who have the Spirit of God and all of the elders!

We need to understand, just like Bruce Bird brought out, we're not to be ruling over the brethren, we are to be teaching them. We ourselves as elders are to be yielding to God so that:

• we're faithful to God
• we're faithful to His Word

"…the things that are ordained tocome to pass shortly; and He made it known, having sent it by His angel to His servant John who gave witness to the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and all the things he saw" (vs 1-2).

Now, think on this: Remember at the end of the book of John, the trade back and forth between Peter and Christ, 'feed My sheep.' After Jesus finally convinced Peter that he needs to love Him, and to serve the sheep, feed the flock and serve the lambs, then Peter turned and looked at John and said, 'What's going to happen to him?'

Jesus said, 'What is that to you? You go do what I said. What if I desire that he remain until I come?'

So, the rumor went out, 'Oh, the end of the world is going to come before John dies.' Well, it didn't happen! But in prophetic vision, it took place! So, John did see the return of Christ that way, and then he writes this:

Verse 3: "Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who keep the things that are written therein; for the time is at hand."

Now, this tells us that the way God views time is entirely different than we do. Now, you read just the book of Revelation:

• Is there anywhere it says the Law has been abrogated?
• Is there anywhere there it says that you can keep:
• the 'Lord's Supper'?
• Easter?
• Halloween?
• Christmas?

No! Not one! Then you go back to the other end of it and they say:

• you don't need to read the Old Testament, but you do
• everything has been fulfilled there, which it hasn't
• the Catholics say that's the 'old Law' and we have the 'new Law'

Well, the 'new law' that they have is the old pagan law that has the name of Jesus written over it! In just reading the book of Revelation, you will find that:

• you have to keep all the Commandments of God
• you have to love God
• you have to be faithful

Look at the message to the seven churches:

Verse 4: "John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace and peace be to you from Him Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come; and from the seven spirits that are before His Throne."

Those seven spirits, as you read in Rev. 4 & 5 are the spirits that go to the earth seeking those who are trying to find God. That's how one day—BING!—you wanted God.  How did that happen? Well, one of the seven angels helped bring that about.

Verse 5: "And from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him Who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood." What is this right here? Passover!

Verse 6: "And has made us kings and priests to God and His Father…"

That's after the first resurrection when we are kings and priests and serving the world and serving Christ. Amazing!

"…to Him be the glory and the sovereignty into the ages of eternity. Amen" (v 6). What are the ages of eternity?

This all applies to what the Passover really means and Who Jesus really was, and a profound thing that God did with the conception, the life, the ministry, crucifixion and death of Jesus!

Verse 7: "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen." As we come to the Passover, I want us to have:

• a greater feeling spiritually understanding God
• how great that He is
• what He has done for us
• what He has promised us

Verse 8: "'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending,' says the Lord…"

So what do we find in Gen. 1? In the beginning God… We won't get into any more of that in this message here.

He's going to finish the plan that He has with mankind. Who is the Lord?

"…'Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come—the Almighty.'" (v 8).

• Anybody think that they have any power against God?
• Can anybody go against Him?

Almighty means the might and the power of everything!

That's why the title of this message is, God Is All Things To Everything! Think on that. I want you to remember that.

Verse 9: "I, John, who am also your brother and joint partaker in the tribulation and in the kingdom and endurance of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Day of the Lord…" (vs 9-10).

Now, some of the intellectual philosophers who translate the Bible had the audacity to put in there 'Sunday' so they could justify the lie of their Sunday-keeping.

I'll give a message on that sometime: Sunday-keeping in the Bible. It won't be what people in the world believe.

Verse 11: "Saying, 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, and what you see, write in a book…"

How many times did he say write? He said write, write, write all the way through the book of Revelation.

How can these intellectuals and these philosophers and theologians say that nothing was written down for two or three hundred years afterward; it was all orally transmitted. Lies!

"…and send it to the Churches that are in Asia…" (v 11).

Let's come here to what he told John after he saw the brightness and the power of Christ. That's something! What God did was to impress upon the mind of John so when he was writing, he would write exactly what God wanted him to do!

Verse 17: "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead; but He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.'"

Now, keep that in mind, everything in between that we need to know is in the Bible from Gen. 1:1 to Rev. 22:21.

Verse 18: "Even the One Who is living; for I was dead, and behold, I am alive into the ages of eternity. Amen…."

Now, that's an interesting phrase, isn't it? Greek: 'aion ho aion': ages of eternity.

How many ages in the past were there coming up to the creation of the world? Don't know! But think on that. That helps us have a better conception of God and to know what He has done.

Verse 18: "Even the One Who is living; for I was dead, and behold, I am alive into the ages of eternity. Amen. And I have the keys of the grave and of death."

No man has figured out how to raise the dead! Never will, because they have no control over the spirit of man.

Verse 19: "Write the things that you saw and the things that are, and the things that shall take place hereafter. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven lampstands that you saw are the seven churches" (vs 19-20).

So, he starts right out with the Churches right with the state of the Church as it was in the days of John. All right.

Now then, right at the end, let's go to the end to show you that even the book of Revelation is:

Revelation 22:13: "I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those who keep His commandments, that they may have the right to eat of the Tree of Life, and may enter by the gates into the city" (vs 13-14)—the ending!

Now, what's going to happen after New Jerusalem? We have no idea! That's why it's important that we have a great concept of God. Let's see something else concerning God.

Psa. 146—Let's look at how God looks at us as human beings. But we know what the potential will be.

• How's that going to be? Well, think on this:
• Where did you come from? You came from that which you can't see!
  • you developed in your mother's womb
  • you were born

God wants every human being to be humbled and to know that they're not independent of themselves. So, God has right in the center of every body: a belly button! You have that your whole life, which tells you that you came from your father and your mother. Quite a thing. People don't think of that.

Psalm 146:1: "O praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. While I live I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being… [that shows that great trust] …Do not put your trust in princes…" (vs 1-3).

I think going back to that Zelensky thing that shows a good reason why not to.

"…nor in the son of man in whom there is no salvation. His breath goes forth; he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made the heavens and earth, the sea and all that is in them; Who keeps Truth forever" (vs 3-6). Now you might do a word study on truth and what is true! God keeps it forever!

Psalm 147:3: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Sidebar: We have just finished editing the transcript book on healing. We're going to re-title it: Healing of God: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual.

Verse 4: "He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names."

We can't even remember a grocery list! How about God, as powerful as He is. He knows the number and He counts them by names.

Psalm 148, 149, and 150 tells you all about what's going to happen on the Sea of Glass in praising God. When we get there, that is going to be a mighty, mighty, mighty thing.

Revelation 148:1: "O praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights. Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts. Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars of light" (vs 1-3).

Remember: God is all things to everything! They all depend upon Him.

Verse 4: "Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created" (vs 4-5).

All God has to do is speak, and it is! That's an amazing thing, isn't it? Yes, indeed!

Now, let's see some other things about God and what He does. Even the greatest philosophers in the world with their minds cannot keep up with this:

Jeremiah 23:20: "The anger of the LORD shall not return, until He has executed and until He has performed the purposes of His heart; in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly."

So, we're getting some glimpses of this. But how much more we will understand it when we're raised from the dead and on the Sea of Glass. Now speaking of false prophets, he says,

Verse 21: "I have not sent these prophets, yet, they ran; I have not spoken to them, yet, they prophesied."

Now notice how powerful the Word of God really is even if a false prophet speaks it!

Verse 22: "But IF… [the choice] …they had stood in My counsel and had caused My people to hear My words, THEN they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their doings."

That's the whole purpose of the Word of God. So that we as human beings:

• can learn how to live
• can learn how to think
• can come to an understanding that there's God
• to realize that God is all things to everything

He's given us all these nice things that we can make, we can build, we can do. He even wants us to mine gold and silver and precious stone.

Did you know that the tin mine in the southwestern part of England that Joseph of Arimathea got his tin? It's still producing tin! And they've gone out under the ocean to get it. I hope they're not a big earthquake to crack it open and the mine comes to an end.

Verse 23: "Am I a God Who is near,' says the LORD, 'and not a God afar off?"

You can call on God anywhere, anytime, and God will hear if you're asking for His intervention. He will do it!

Verse 24: "'Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him?' says the LORD…. [notice this next sentence, the philosophers can't understand this] …'Do I not fill the heavens and earth?' says the LORD."

Does that mean that God is some sort of ethereal spirit that is filling the heavens and the earth? No, it's filled with what He has created, not that He himself is dispersed as the vapor to hold the universe together.

So, He fills the heaven and the earth. Now, I want you to keep that in mind when we come to the things concerning Christ and his sacrifice, concerning Christ and what he did.

Let's come back to Heb. 1, now, you go through this book of Hebrews, it's quite a book. It's very evident that the Apostle Paul was the one who wrote it because at the end it says, you know, that Timothy is there and Luke had been there.

But this was probably a message that Paul gave over and over and over again. Remember, he spoke every Sabbath wherever he could, whether in the synagogue or wherever it may have been. So, we have really the barest necessities of what we need for the Word of God.

But let's see what he starts out with here in the first verse; this agrees with what we read back there in the Psa. and in Jer. 23

Hebrews 1:1: "God Who spoke to the fathers at different times in the past and in many ways by the prophets, has spoken to us in these last days by His Son, Whom He has appointed heir of all things" (vs 1-2).

God is all things and everything and everything about us God has made! God has created for a great purpose! That's what it's all about with the Passover and Holy Days and the Word of God and why we do what we do.

Men have a religion over here so they can pretend that they're righteous. God has His Word here so you can be righteous through Christ.

Verse 2: "Whom He has appointed heir of all things, by Whom also He made the ages."

2-Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of sound-mindedness." An amazing thing!

Verse 8: "Therefore, you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner; but jointly suffer with me for the sake of the Gospel, according to the power of God, Who has saved us and called us with a Holy calling—not according to our works, but according to His own purpose" (vs 8-9).

I'm going to give a message on purpose. God has a purpose. You have a purpose. Everyone on earth has a purpose. According to His purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the ages of time. Now, this is why I want you to understand God is all things to everything! That's what's important.

Back to Heb. 1, because this tells us what Christ did and for what purpose. How there's no comparison between anything else that men can think. Remember in Col. 2 Paul wrote, 'Do not let the philosophy of men take you away from Christ!' (paraphrased).

If you want to know the epitome of the philosophy of men, look at Rome, the Roman Catholic Church and all the religions of the world.

Hebrews 1:3: "Who, being the brightness of His glory and the exact image of His person…"

That means character, the character of God! What is it that God wants us to develop? The character of God!

• we're not here as a church in the world
• we're not here to preach goody-two-shoes of psychological things

To make you feel better so that you can live with your sin and you can be happy! NO!

"…and upholding all things… [God is all things to everything] …by the word of His own power when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high" (v 3).

I want you to think about that when you pray, when you get on your knees and you cry out to God and you say, 'Our Father, Who is in heaven, Holy is Your name and Jesus at your right hand.'

This is what God has called us to; for a great purpose! These things will help us become:

• more converted
• more yielded
• stronger in the faith
• more humble before God

Because we know that God is all things to everything!

Verse 4: "Having been made so much greater than any of the angels… [takes care of Satan and his demons, and even the righteous angels] …inasmuch as He has inherited a name exceedingly superior to them."

What's going to happen when we're raised from the dead? Just like when a new child comes into the world, first thing they want to do is name them!

What does it say? We will have the name of the Father and the Son! Jesus' name was superior to all of the angels. Think of what it's going to be for all of us.

Verse 5: "For to which of the angels did He ever say, 'You are My Son; this day I have begotten You'? And again, 'I will be a Father to Him, and He will be a Son to Me'?"

• the whole purpose of his ministry
• the whole purpose of his coming

Verse 6: "And again, when He brought the Firstborn into the world, He said, 'Let all the angels of God worship Him.'  Now, on the one hand, of the angels He says, 'Who makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.' But on the other hand, of the Son He says, 'Your throne, O God, is into the ages of eternity…" (vs 6-8).

Amazing thing isn't it? There we go again before the time of ages! This is what we are connected to with the Spirit of God.

• Do we grasp that?
• Do the people of God do that?
• Do the elders and ministers know that?
• Are we taught that to the very core of our being?

"…a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. You loved righteousness…" (v 8-9). Righteousness is defined:

• in the Commandments of God
• in behavior
• in love
• in faith
• in hope

All of that is the righteousness of God!

"…and hated lawlessness..." (v 9). That's all that's in the world!

The Protestants: there are a few clinging onto a few things. but that's all lawlessness. The world is all lawlessness!

What Bruce Bird talked about down at one of the cities in Canada with a gay pride parade. {message: End-Time Signs of the Mark of the Beast by Bruce Bird}

• what a thing that is
• what an affront to God
• what an affront to all the human beings

Yet, that's what Biden and everyone was trying to stuff down the throats of America and spread to the whole world. Donald Trump was humbled, so God could use him to stop it for a while in America because the Gospel must be preached!

"…because of this, God, even Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions.' And, 'You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth…" (vs 9-10).

Remember when He laid the foundations of the earth the angels were already there, which says that:

• He created the heavens
• then He created the angels
• then he created the earth

No evolution, can't find it anywhere!

Look at all the scientists have traveled the earth over looking in every crack and nook in the face of the earth that they can to try and find an actual missing link. They haven't found one. Because there's no such thing as evolution! It is a satanic lawless delusion!

Verse 11: "'They will perish, but You remain forever; and they will all grow old like a garment, and You will roll them up like a covering, and they shall be changed; but You are the same, and Your years will not end.' But unto which of the angels did He ever say, 'Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet'?" (vs 11-13).

But that's what He has said to us. Think about that! This is amazing stuff!

• How many years have we studied the Word of God?
• How many years have we kept the Sabbath?
• How many years have we kept the Passover?
• Unleavened Bread?
• Pentecost?
• Trumpets?
• Atonement?
• Tabernacles?
• Last Great Day?

All of those are layered with meaning and understanding and spiritual applications to our lives, and to the whole world! Amazing!

Heb. 2 we will see that he's explaining what we're covering. God is all things to everything!

Even this desk. Now look at this desk. It's a nice desk and it's made of oak. By the way, all trees grow in a spiral.

• Did you know that?

Every plant that is planted!

• Do you know how a seed grows?

They even took a 3000-year-old seed from one of these Egyptian tombs and planted it, and it grew! Then the Jews took a seed from an olive tree 2000-years-old and planted it, and it grew!

• How did that happen? Because you look at a seed it's a little dried up nothing!

You plant it and then what comes out of it. The only one that doesn't have a little dried up seed is an avocado. I mean, it's almost like a miniature bowling ball! But God has made all of it! Amazing thing!

Hebrews 2:1: "For this reason, it is imperative that we give much greater attention to the things, which we have heard, lest at any time we should slip away."

Isn't that the way that it is with human nature? That's why we have the Sabbath every week, because we couldn't continue in the spiritual growth and understanding if we didn't have the Sabbath!

Why? Because we'd be out there doing our own thing whatever we would be doing and we would know nothing about God! If we did know about God but have left God and exercised in all of these things of the world… BEWARE! That's what it's saying!

Verse 2: "For if the word spoken by angels was enforced without fail, and every transgression and disobedience received just recompense."

That's why we have all the troubles we have. We have difficulties and righteousness that we go through. But what is it for our suffering? Our suffering as Paul said that he may be conformed to the suffering of Christ!

No one's going to do that. But that means that we understand the purpose of suffering. That is so we understand how great God is. That's the purpose of it.

Verse 3: "How shall we escape, if we have neglected so great a salvation; which was first received when it was spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him; God also bearing witness with them by both signs and wonders, and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?" (vs 3-4).

You read the four Gospels. We have the book {truthofgod.org}: A Harmony of the Gospels, the only Harmony in the world that is based upon the Calculated Hebrew Calendar and has the correct layout.

• When was Jesus born?
• When did His ministry began?
• When was He crucified?
• When was He resurrected?

and all of the myths and all the lies of Christ and dumb in this world are shattered by that one book!
So if you don't have it you get it.

Verse 5: "For it is not to the angels that He has placed in subjection the world that is to come, of which we are speaking."

Who's going to rule in the world to come? All of us! Now think about that! It's going to start out and be an amazing thing because it can't happen until we're resurrected. What is it going to be like to be resurrected? We don't know!

But just think of this: if we are what we are in the flesh and that is really a miracle in itself. We can just realize that since all things are every God is in everything that it's going to be fantastic. It says in 1-John 3 that we will see Jesus as He is! Amazing!

Verse 6: "But in a certain place one fully testified, saying, 'What is man, that You are mindful of him, or the son of man, that You visit him?'" That's what David asked!

He went out and he looked at the stars and the heavens and he said, 'O Lord God what is man that you are mindful of him.' That goes back to when the covenant was made with Abraham. After promising Abraham a physical son the Lord God took him outside and He said, 'Look at the heavens now and number the stars if you're able to count them. So shall your seed be!'

And Abraham only had Isaac—Ishmael was not the son of promise—He saw Jacob as a little child and he died.

So, how far ahead in time does God look way beyond what we have imagined?

Verse 7: "You did make him a little lower than the angels; You did crown him with glory and honor, and You did set him over the works of Your hands."

What did He say to Adam and Eve after He created them in His likeness in His image, and He said, 'Go forth and replenish the earth.' Amazing!

Verse 8: "'You did put all things in subjection under his feet.' For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that was not subjected to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him"—pointing forward toward the resurrection for us.

Here's what we see; here's what we know: v 9: But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels…"

We'll cover that a little more in detail because that's quite a thing. The God who said 'let there be light' became a pinpoint of life to become a human being. That's amazing! That's what the Passover is all about!

"…crowned with glory and honor on account of suffering the death, in order that by the grace of God He Himself might taste death for everyone; because it was fitting for Him, for Whom all things were created, and by Whom all things exist, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Author of their salvation perfect through sufferings" (vs 9-10).

So, we'll cover all of this coming up to the time of the Passover so that we can all draw close to God so that we can have the Spirit of God in us and all the brethren wherever they are. That's an amazing thing indeed!

Verse 11: "For both He Who is sanctifying and those who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren."

In John 15 Jesus says 'you're My friends.' Jesus is your friend! That is an amazing thing to understand!

Verse 12: "Saying, 'I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the Church I will sing praise to You.' And again, 'I will be trusting in Him.' And again, 'Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me'" (vs 12-13).

That will be said by Christ on the Sea of Glass when all in the first resurrection are there and there comes the great presentation to God the Father behold the children you have given me.

Think of that! Think of that! See that's going to be an amazing thing and we'll be standing there. However, the clothes are that will be dressed in white and we'll have in our right hand the stone with our new name. We will see the Father and we will see Christ and then will be the marriage of the Lamb and the Church and then the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Think what that's going to be like being waited on by angels. What is spiritual food going to be like? I wonder about that. And spiritual wine of the wedding of Christ and the Church. That's what it's all about brethren!
