Three Days Part 2

Two other places in Scripture THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS are specially mentioned that appear to be 24 hour periods:

Esther 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
1 Samuel 30:12 And they gave him (an Egyptian) a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

Consider: Jesus crucified Wednesday and placed into the tomb before 6 PM.
Thursday, 6 pm – 6 am = 1 night & day. Friday, 6 pm – 6 am = 1 night & day (2nd N & D). Saturday, 6 pm – 6 am = 1 night & day (3rd N & D). He arose BEFORE 6 am, Sunday.

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Mark 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Luke 24:1-2 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
John 20:1The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Lot

The story of Lot begins in Genesis 11:27 and ends with 2 Peter 2:7.
His name occurs some 20 times.
Just to Summarize:
He is the Nephew of Abram.
Moved from Ur to Canaan with his grandfather (and Uncle Abram).
Abram left Canaan and Lot went with him.
Quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s, causing a separation.
Lot chose chose the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar (Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lot gets captured by four waring Kings.
Abraham has to rescue him.
Two Angels warn Lot to take his family and Leave Sodom.
Lot, wife and two daughters flee Sodom.
Lot’s wife disobeys and turns to a pillar of Salt.
Lot gets drunk and sins with his daughters.
The Lord Jesus referred to Lot in Luke 17:28-32 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember Lot’s wife.
And finally: 2 Peter 2:7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless

TIME FOR SALVATION

ACTS 26 The apostle Paul was to appear before King Agrippa,
(he was obeying the Lord – and so should we).
Agrippa was a Jew, the King of Israel under the Romans.
Paul begins by telling Agrippa who Paul was: A Jew, A religious Jew, A pharisee.
He believed in God, but not the Son of God. Not the precious blood of Jesus.
Saul hated Christians. He persecuted them, punished them, even had them put to death. Saul hated them so much that he got a letter from the Chief Pharisee so he could chase them to other cities.

But God loved Saul (and God loves you, even though you are guilty of sin). At midday, on the road to Damascus, a bright light shown (brighter than the Sun) so bright it forced Saul to the ground. And then Saul heard a voice — it was the Lord Jesus, God’s Son! The Lord spoke to Saul, and told him what he wanted him to do. Saul decided to obey the Lord and follow Him. When he made that decision, Saul received eternal life, saved from his sin. Since that day Saul, who would later be called Paul, he has put the Lord Jesus first in his life.

Upon hearing Paul’s testimony, King Agrippa said, “Almost thou hath persuaded me to be a Christian”.
The Bible doesn’t tell us if King Agrippa ever got saved or not. But Paul was found innocent of the charges the Jews had accused him of and he was sent to Rome where he would tell Caesar Austus how to be saved.

How about you?

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

TIME TO STUDY GOD’S WORD

God wants everyone to know His word.
There was a time when the scripture was Lost. 2 Chronicles 34:14-18

An 8 year old boy had become King. Some wicked men had killed his father. The boy’s name was Josiah. When he became King, the whole country was wicked and evil. Hey worshipped false gods, including Balaam. God’s house, the Temple was not used and nobody knew where the Scripture was.

Josiah was different from his people. He believed in God. As he grew older he ordered his people to quit worshipping false gods. He ordered them to clean and fix God’s house, the Temple. They were to bring their offerings and the priests were to collect it and pay the men who fixed up the Temple. And while this was going on, HILKIAH a priest found the Scripture…It was the word of God, (The Pentateuch, 1st 5 books of the Bible).

HILKIAH was very excited and took it to the King. Oh, the King was happy.
Now he could find out more about the Lord God. So, the King ordered the book to be read out loud, for the people.
The book told about God’s Love…
It told about a coming Saviour…
It told about God’s Laws ….
It told about how sinful man is….
It told about how God must punish sin …..

The King was very sad, for he found out how evil his people were ant that they must be punished for their sin … He was very sad, even rent his clothing.

God want us to know his word. His word helps keep us from sinning and tells us about God’s forgiveness. Then we don’t have to be sad or punished.

King Josiah decided then to obey God’s word, keep His Law. God sent a message to the King thru a prophetess who said that all the days of the King’s life, God would not sent the punishments upon Israel.

Only when we know God’s word and obey it can we be truly happy.

Time Part 4

TIME TO PRAY

ACTS 12, John 16:24 Believers should always Pray!

The assemble in Jerusalem was growing, more and more were believing that Jesus was the Messiah.
The Jewish leaders were getting angry!
King Herod (Jewish King of Israel under Rome) had James, the brother of John, an apostle killed.
This made them happy. So, he planned to have Peter arrested and killed. But it was time for the Passover. So Peter was held in prison and killed later.
The Jewish believers started praying. They had an all night prayer session at someone’s house.

In prison Peter was taken to an inner cell. There, two guards were chained to him. Outside the first door were two more guards and outside the second door were two more guards. He was NOT to escape.

As Peter slept, and the believers prayed, God sent an Angel to free him. The guards slept, the chains were removed and Peter followed the Angel right through the locked doors and past all the guards to freedom. Even as Peter stood on the street, he thought he was dreaming. Finally, he knew it was real, he was free. He went to the house (God led him) where the believers were praying.

Believers should always pray! God will answer according to His will.

When Peter knocked on the door, Rhoda answered, but didn’t believe it was Peter. Neither did anyone else when she told them. Finally, they let Peter into the house and they rejoiced that God had answered their Prayers and Peter was safe.

We should pray always, whether we are in trouble or not.

TIME TO WORSHIP

1 Samuel 3:1-10, 1 Corinthians 6:19 The boy who worshipped God.

(When we worship God, He will guide us).

Samuel’s parents didn’t have any children.
His mother went to the temple and promised God her son would be given to Him to serve Him.
When Samuel (the son God gave her) was about 6 years old his mother took him to the temple and gave him to the high Priest.
Samuel lived in the Temple and served God. Eli the Priest was getting old, his sons who served in the Temple did bad and wicked things. God didn’t speak with they because they were so evil.

(When we worship God, He will guide us).

One night as Samuel was in bed sleeping the Lord God called to Samuel.
Samuel awoke and ran to Eli and said “Here I am”. Eli told him to return to bed.
Again, Samuel heard the Lord God call to him and Samuel ran to Eli and said “Here I am”. Eli told him to return to bed.
For a third time Samuel heard the Lord God call to him Samuel ran to Eli and said “Here I am”.
This time Eli knew what was happening, so he told Samuel to go back to bed, but this time when he heard his name being called, to answer “Speak, for thy servant heareth”.

Yes, when we worship God, He will guide us. Oh, not verbally but we will know.

Samuel did what Eli told him to do and God gave Samuel instructions for the Nation of Israel. From that time, Samuel was a Prophet and Priest, serving the Living God.

Yes, believers today serve a Living GOD.

TIME TO WITNESS

2 Kings 5, Romans 1:16 We should be willing to tell others what the Lord can do.

A little girl is used to help others.

Naaman was Captain of the Syrian Army. He was one of the Kings best men. He was a really brave man, one of valor. He was also a LEPER.
During a war he brought home a young Israel girl. She was to be a servant for his wife. One day she told Naaman’s wife about a man in Israel who God used to heal people.

She was willing to tell others what the Lord can do.

The wife told Naaman and Naaman told the King.
The King wrote a letter to the King of Israel and Naaman took it along with some gifts. The King of Israel sent Naaman to Elisha’s house.

Elisha sent a servant to tell Naaman to wash in the Jordan 7 times.
Naaman got angry. Why couldn’t Elisha just come out an touch him, surely that would heal him. Why did it have to the dirty Jordan river? There were better (cleaner) rivers in Syria, couldn’t he go to one of them?
His friends tell him what the Lord can do IF you obey.
Naaman finally goes to the Jordan and after dipping 7 times, He is washed clean of his Leprosy.

All this happened because a little girl was not afraid to tell others what her Lord could do.

Do you share your faith? To you tell others about God?
