ISAIAH 11:10-16

This chapter of Isaiah is talking about the end of time, same as do the books of Revelation.   And in that day there shall (future) be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left (in the end times there will be only a fraction of God's people left on the earth), from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.   And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather them together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.  The envy also of Ephraim shall depart and the adversaries of Judah shall be cutoff:  Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.  But they shall...

FOOT WASHING

My subject today is one that has been being discussed some on Facebook. Foot Washing at the Lord Supper Service. Some people do this before the emblems. Some do it after. Some don't do it at all. I have been raised to do it after. The ones who do it first, do it to show humbleness. I am not so sure it really matters when you do it, just as long as you take part in the service. The scriptures in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, do not tell of the foot washing. Only John chapter 13 does. I wonder why? I had never noticed before that the foot washing being done before the emblems.  I am glad someone brought that up. But then in John it doesn't speak of them taking the emblems. In Matthew, Mark and Luke each of their view was written about what happened at the last Passover Christ would be part of until he returns again to the earth.  Verse 2 of the John the 13th Chapter says, "And supper being ended (Passover?), the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's s...

REVELATION CHAPTER FIVE

THE REVELATION TO JOHN was written by John the Revelator (KJV)  Revelation Chapter Five: And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?   And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.  And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.  And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth...

JESUS'S JOURNEY

JESUS'S JOURNEY           In the Book of John, written by John, Jesus spoke to anyone that would listen about what was to come.  That he would be falsely aroused, arrested, tried and crucified, put in a tomb for three days and three nights, but would rise again the third day.   He spoke to his disciples many times, and did many miracles in their sight, but they still didn't understand what was to come.  John the Baptist which was Jesus' cousin, went before him to spread the news of the soon coming King, the only begotten Son of God.  That he would come from heaven and become flesh and live among us.  He would go through trials and tribulations, the same as we would.  He became flesh, he was the Son of Man.                 It was written in the prophets that God would send his messenger to prepare the way for his people.  That messenger was Jesus.  Now there was a man named ...
