One God

There is only one God. The creator of everything.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isaiah 43:10-11 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 45:5-7 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Isaiah 45:14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:21-22 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Isaiah 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isaiah 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

Mark 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

The Bible – The Word of God

It’s about time, it’s about space
It’s all about the human race.
It’s about man and his evil ways,
And he continues in sin all his days.
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about me, it’s about you,
It’s about our being sinners too!
It’s about sin and what it cost,
All about dying and being lost.
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about heaven and another place,
It’s about God’s redeeming grace.
It’s about what happens to the soul,
It’s about the day and where you’ll go.
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about the man from Galilee,
Who lived his life perfectly,
To fulfill the law and pay the price
That I should die only once, not twice.
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about the price that had to be paid,
It’s about God and the sacrifice He made.
It’s about His Son upon the cross,
It’s about His dying for the lost.
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about His coming up out of the grave,
Victory He promised, lost souls to save!
Taken into Heaven amidst all Glory and Laud,
Seated on His throne next to God!
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about life, new life eternally,
Life that’s a gift, completely free.
Life that’s given to those who believe,
And who Christ as Savior will believe!
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about accepting God’s great love,
            It’s about rising to new heights above.
Above the world and it’s evil way,
           Looking ahead for Christ to return some day.
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about His coming to take me home,
            To dwell with Him no more to roam.
With power over sin, no more to stray,
           Power from Him will be given that day!
That’s the Bible, The word of God.

It’s about that wonderous, glorious time,
To hear the Master claim “This one’s mine”!
We’ll be with Him forever to praise,
Forever, forever no ending of days!
That’s the Bible, The Word of God.

Hurricane/Tornado

Searching the Scripture, one does not find these words, perhaps because the words didn’t exist during at the time the Bible was translated.

But words like Mighty Wind, Fierce Winds and Winds that toss about do appear.
For a better understanding of God’s control:

See Weather

As one studies these in the Scripture, it does appear that God uses the elements to show that He is God.
They are used to discipline mankind as we continue to reject Him.

Door

There are several doors mentioned in the Scripture, including:
Door to the Ark
Genesis 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Passover Door
Exodus 12:7,22-23 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. … And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
Temple Door
1 Kings 6:8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
Narrow Door (Gate)
Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Door to the sheep fold
John 10:1-9 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Door of faith
Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
The Apostle Paul speaks of a door:
1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
2 Corinthians 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
The Lord’s Brother, James warns the Jews:
James 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
The Risen and ascended Lord warns the assembles:
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
The Apostle John called up into heaven to see the future:
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Idols

An image used as an object of worship. A false god. One that is adored.

The best definition of an Idol is found it the Second Commandment:
Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
And yet today, how many religions today have images (idols) of things;
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
They have these images in their churches, homes and even in their automobiles. And how many people pray to these idols as mediators to God? Yet Paul writes: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5
And Paul expounds on this Mediator in Hebrews:
Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
When we pray, we pray to God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Not all IDOLS have an Image:
IDOLS INCLUDE:

GRAVEN IMAGE:

An idol or fetish carved in wood or stone.
A carved idol or representation of a god used as an object of worship.
A material effigy that is worshipped.
“money was his god“

Daniel 12

END TIMES – ETERNITY
12:1 Following the Tribulation:
Compare Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Compare Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
12:2-3 At the end of the 1000 years, resurrection(s)
Compare Revelation 20:12-13 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
12:4 Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Compare Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me (John), Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
12:4-7 Daniel continues to talk with two men (Angels).
12:8-10 Daniel says I understood not: He is told Go thy way, the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
In the middle of Tribulation, Antichrist turn on the Jews. 3 ½ years to go.
12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (3.6 years)
12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. (3.7 years)
12:13 Daniel is told: But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
It’s coming soon:
Rapture (of Believers)
Tribulation (7 years)
1000 year reign of Christ
Great White Throne
Eternity !!!!!

LABOR DAY

A federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.
Beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation, Labour(s) is mentioned.
Genesis 31:42 … God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
Revelation 14:13 … Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
From Romans to Hebrews Paul mentions Labour 31 times.
Yes, we are to Labour (work) so we can earn a living and help others:
Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
In several epistles Paul commends those who laboured with him.
Philippians 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
1 Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Paul reminds Timothy sharing the Gospel is worthy Labour.
1 Timothy 5:17-18 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
God will not forget your Labour.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Again remember what the Apostle wrote in Revelation:
Revelation 14:13 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.

Daniel 11

The Kings of the North and South
11:1 … the first year of Darius the Mede, … Michael (your prince) Speaks and tells Daniel what’s coming …
Compare Ezra 4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
11:2-7 4 kings to come …the 4th king shall be broken …king of the South … King of the North…
11:8-18 King of South –EGYPT … Fights with king of North
Compare Isaiah 37:18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries
11:19
Compare Psalm 37:36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
11:20
Compare Isaiah 60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
11:23
Compare Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
11:40
Compare Isaiah 21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
Compare Ezekiel 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
11:42
Compare Joel 3:19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

Daniel 11 continues with events that are yet to come that will rock the world and be part of the terrifying events just before Jesus Christ’s return.
When considering the many prophetic details of Daniel 11 that were fulfilled as predicted, one can have confidence that the remaining prophecies of this chapter and others in the Bible that are yet to be fulfilled will likewise occur as God has ordained. Through a dream, God revealed to ancient King Nebuchadnezzar that eventually the kingdoms of this world will be replaced by the Kingdom of God, the 1000 year reign of Christ. As Daniel explained to the king: “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever”
(Daniel 2:44).
