March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

In Psalm 3:5 and Job 3:13 it speaks about that in Job 3:13 if he should have laid down and remained quiet, and remained still he would of slept, and also that he would be at rest.

In Psalm 3:5 it says I laid me down, and slept, and also that you awake, because the LORD sustained you. So here again we some advice on getting sleep. Its the Lord who will give sleep to us. As it says in the scriptures “which one of us by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?”

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me. (Jeremiah 31:25-26 AKJV 1611)

Jeremiah 31:25-26 says that we should (satiate)

See above for Satiate definition. It means to fill, or satisfy, or provide is the jist of it.

He also used a synonym word of replenished as well. So he suppiled, and helped people in need, and every sorrowful soul. If you will noticed he awaked, and beheld that his sleep was sweet unto him. Now were not saved by works as Ephesians 2:8-9 says and Galatians 2:16 also says. See Romans chapter 4 & 5 as well. So many scriptures in relation to this. However we can get blessings, or benefits for our work though. However we shouldn't look for material gain, because as Jesus said “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” But if your able to help, and its in your hands to do so help the person. At the very least you will go to bed at each night knowing you served the Lord, because its your duty to do so.

Also in Revelation it says...

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. (Revelation 14:13 AKJV 1611)

So we also rest from our labours we do towards the Lord. This is the Spirit speaking here (The Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost.)

Our works will follow us (They DO NOT save us, only Jesus Christ can do that through his shed blood, and work on the cross, and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise him for his glorious Gospel, and Eternal life he has given us. See Romans 1:16, Acts 4:12, Romans 10:10, Ephesians 1:13, I Thessalonians 5:9, and also Matthew Chapters 26-28, John Chapters 19-21 & Luke Chapters 22/23-24)
and we will receive rewards for these works, if they are not burned up that is. So we rest from our labours in the next life, and I think even in this life as we looked in Jeremiah 31:25-26.
Now lets take a look at two other scriptures compared to each other.

On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. (Esther 6:1 AKJV 1611)

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. (Daniel 6:18 AKJV 1611)

Now looking at these two scriptures what is interesting is that they are both kings. Also both are kings of the Media and Persia Empire. So that's kind of interesting as well. Now the Word of God says we are priests and kings of God.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:6 AKJV 1611)

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:10 AKJV 1611)

Notice were priests and kings both to Jesus Christ (God) and God the Father as well. So praise God!

Now if were a king then to God, then these scriptures apply to us. Remember II Timothy 3:16-17. So the king couldn't sleep one night, what was the remedy for this? To read the book of records of the chronicles, or simply read I & II Chronicles of the Bible. I really believe its speaking of those books. You can read them, or have them read before you.

Now another instance of this happening is in Daniel 6:18 however this time the king fasted, and he didn't have any instruments of musick brought into him, because this was when Daniel was thrown into the den of lions. His sleep went from him, and so this is an example of a time we shouldn't sleep as a king. He was essentially mourning for Daniel, and read back a little further to find out how Daniel ended up there, and that as a king you should be wise in your decisions.

After all it says in the Bible that the throne of a king is established by righteousness. See Proverbs 16:12 for that scripture.

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes? The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. (Ecclesiastes 5:10-12 AKJV 1611)

Looking at this scripture we can see that those who love silver won't be satisfied with it. Nor those who want abundance with increase. They just want more, and more. They keep on desiring more, and they run greedily after it like Balaam did. See Jude for this, and the old Testament as well. Not only that, but it also talks about for the love of money (mammon) is the root of all evil. Essentially self-centeredness. As you will also notice when goods increase, than those who eat them increase. Gluttony, and greed. It talks about in Jude they feast themselves without fear. They can't have enough, and they will never be satisfied. Also it says what good is all these goods, or food, or abundance of things except to those who behold them. An example of those who have tons of gold, and silver in vaults, or a bunch of expensive cars, or big houses. They have their reward as the Bible says, and have what they want in this life, but suffer in the next. If you suffer in this life, you receive good in the next is pretty much how it works. These people behold them with their eyes and lust after them as I John says. Lust of the EYES, lust of the flesh, and pride of life.
