The Glory of God

in Jeremiah

I set you over nations

Before I formed you, I knew you; and sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

I have this day set you over the nations

and over the kingdoms, to root out, to pull down

, to destroy, and to build, and to plant.

O Lord, I am still a child. I can’t speak.

Then the Lord touched my mouth and said to me,

Behold, I have put My words in mouth.

Don’t be afraid of their faces:

for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.

I will raise up against Babylon a destroying wind to utterly destroy all her army.

Since the fall, our Almighty heavenly Father

has been at war against evil.

For Israel is not forsaken by his God,

the Lord of hosts (countless mighty angels of heaven) though their land was filled

with sin against the Holy One.

They weren’t valiant for the truth in the earth.

They proceed from evil to evil and they do not know Me, says the Lord.

They exalted themselves against the Lord.

If you aren’t for Me you are against Me,

Jesus said in Matthew 12:30.

All who are against Him should submit to Him and live forever.

Kiss the Son, so He won’t be angry, and you perish from the way,

Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

Psalm 2:12

But still, I will return the captives in the latter days.

Flee, save your life, don’t be cut off in her iniquity for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance (stopping their evil) after many years of His ‘long

suffering, not willing that any perish.

2 Peter 3:9

His warnings are from His fierce and mighty love,

sent out for all to turn back to Him,

so His justice doesn’t have to bring

on their heads ‘the fruit of their own doings,’

Those who continue to choose violence as their solution instead of peace will, after repeated warnings receive back fair and right violence on themselves.

What you have done will be done to you, This is from His fierce and mighty love

for it stops all the suffering caused by heir evil.

Be astonished, O heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid; for My people have committed two evils;

they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters,

and carved them out cisterns, broken cisterns,

that can’t hold water.

Your own wickedness will correct you. Know and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the Lord your God,

and that you don’t fear Me, says the Lord God of hosts.

Turn, O backsliding children, says the Lord;

for I am married to you: Jeremiah 3:14

Won’t you tremble at My Presence,

Who have placed the sand for the boundary of the sea: though the waves toss themselves, they can’t prevail;

though they roar, they can’t pass over it? Jeremiah 5:22

Let him that boasts glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who is lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth:

for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:24

O Lord of countless armies of beautiful angels of light in heaven, You judge rightly, You test the emotions

and the heart. Jeremiah11:20

Cursed be the man that trusts in man,

and makes flesh his arm, whose heart

departs from the Lord.

He will be like a dry bush in the desert,

and won’t see when good comes;

but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and that can’t be lived in.

Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is: he will be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river,

and will not see when heat comes, but her leaf will be green and will flourish during drought.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the innermost being, to give every man according to his ways,

and according to the fruit of his doings.

I heal all who are willing.

But evil receives judgment that reaches to heaven: the vengeance for My temple.

You that dwell by many waters, abundant in treasures, your time has come.

He made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom; and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

He brings the wind out of His treasury.

Idols are lies.

There is no breath in them.

But the Lord is the Maker of all things.

To those who mistreat His people He says,

If you have done it to one of the least of these, my brothers, you have done it to Me. Matthew 25:40

From His Love, He is destroying the evil that destroys the infinitely precious and beautiful life He created for all to live forever

My word will surely stand. Jeremiah 44:29

Heaven and earth will pass away

but My word will not pass away.

Matthew 24:35

I am with you to deliver you

Blessed, gloriously happy, is the one that trusts in the Lord. He/she will be as a tree planted by the waters

whose leaf will stay green and always yield fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7,8

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the inner person

to give each one the fruit of their doings.

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. Jeremiah 17:12

All that forsake You have forsaken the fountain of living waters. Jeremiah 2:13

Whoever drinks of the water that I give will never thirst; but the water that I give will be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14

Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand,

so are you in My hand.

What I say against a nation, if they return to Me,

I will turn from what I thought to do to them.

Because My people have forgotten Me,

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy.

Jeremiah 18:17

When people plotted against Jeremiah he said,

But the Lord is with me as a mighty awesome One:

therefore, my persecutors will stumble;

they won’t prevail. They will be greatly ashamed.

Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord:

for He has delivered the soul of the poor

from the hand of evildoers.

I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

Do justice in the morning

and deliver him that is plundered out of the hand of the oppressor,

so My fury won’t and burn

with unquenchable fire

because of the evil of your doings.

Cries of grief to the pastors that destroy

and scatter the sheep of My pasture!

says the Lord. I will set up shepherds over My flock

who will feed them:

and they won’t be afraid or lacking anymore.

I will raise a King who reigns justly in the earth.

He will be called,

The Lord Our Righteousness.

Jeremiah 23:4, 6

A whirlwind of the Lord is gone out

that will fall on the wicked.

Can any hide from Me:

Do not I fill heaven and earth?

Then I will give them a heart to know me,

I am the Lord.

I will discipline you justly.

I will not leave you empty, impure.

I will restore health to you. Jeremiah 30:17

I will be the God of all the families of Israel,

and they will be My people.

The people who were left of the sword

found grace in the wilderness

when I went to cause him to rest.

I have loved you with an everlasting love.

Jeremiah 31:3

I will build you and you will go

dancing and celebrating.

They will flow together to the goodness of the Lord,

for wheat, and for wine, and for oil,

and for the young of the flock and of the herd:

and their soul will be as a watered garden;

and they won’t sorrow any more at all.

I will turn their mourning into joy,

and will comfort them,

and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

All will know me, I will forgive their iniquity,

and I will remember their sin no more,

says the Lord who gives the sun for a light by day,

and the moon and stars for a light by night,

who divides the sea when its waves roar.

I will make an everlasting covenant with them,

that I will not turn away from them,

to do them good; I will put my fear in their hearts,

so they won’t depart from Me.

I will rejoice over them to do them good,

and I will plant them in this land

with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

The Book of Lamentations

The city sits alone that was full of people!

She has become as a widow! She that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces

is forced into labor!

She weeps sore in the night,

and her tears are on her cheeks:

among all her lovers she has none to comfort her:

all her friends have dealt treacherously with her,

they are become her enemies.

Lamentations 1:1, 2

The Lord has afflicted her

for the multitude of her transgressions.

The Lord has pushed aside His altar.

He has rejected His sanctuary,

Lamentations 2:7

What can I compare you to

so that I may comfort you?

For your breach is great like the sea:

who can heal you?

Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you:

They haven’t revealed your iniquity,

to turn back your captivity to the Perfection of Beauty,

the Joy of the whole earth.

Lamentations 2:13-15

The Lord will not cast off forever:

For whom the Lord loves He corrects.

Hebrews 12:6

Though He causes grief He will still have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies.

He doesn’t afflict or willingly grieve the children of men. Lamentations 3:31-33

Let us search our ways and turn again to the Lord.

Let us lift our heart to God in the heavens.

Lamentations 3:39-41

The Lord is righteous;

for I have rebelled against his commandment.

Lamentations 1:18

My soul remembers and is humbled.

This I recall to my mind, therefore I have I hope.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed,

because his compassions don’t fail.

They are new every morning:

great is Your faithfulness.

Jeremiah prophesied for over 40 years,

through the reign of five kings,

faithfully telling the nations what God said,

His glory, and love,

and warnings so they might be saved

and sit with Him on His throne ages without end.

Joy of the whole earth

The Glory of God in Ezekiel

I saw visions of God

www.truthofhim.com.

In the 39th year of Israel’s exile as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, the heavens opened,

and I saw visions of God.

I saw four cherubim, awesome four-winged beings of light, and above the expanse over their heads

was a sapphire throne.

And on it sat a man of fiery amber

flashing forth rainbows.

This was the glory of the Lord.

His Spirit entered me when He spoke,

I am sending you to My rebellious nation,

Receive all the words that I speak in your heart.

Take a tile and draw Jerusalem on it

and set a battle with battering rams surrounding it

as a sign of judgment coming,

if they don’t turn back to Me.

Say, I have set you the center of nations,

but you changed My judgments to wickedness.

I will destroy your altars and images

because you are leading everyone to eternal death.

I am broken with their whorish heart,

which departed from Me.

In the 6th year, in the 6th month the Spirit lifted me up and brought me Jerusalem.

He said, See what great abominations

they are doing here?

70 elders were burning incense to every creeping thing, another 25 facing east worshipping the sun.

And they have filled the land with violence.

He called His heavenly ones in charge of the city

to come near.

Six men came with weapons and one among them

with a writer's inkhorn by his side.

They stood beside the bronze altar.

The glory of the God of Israel said to the man with the inkhorn, Go and mark the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done here.

The rest of you go after

and slay with no pity.

But don’t come near any with the mark.

Then He said to me, Their iniquity is exceeding great.

The land is full of blood and perverseness:

I only put their way back on their own heads.

I looked and saw the court fill with the brightness of the Lord's glory.

After I have scattered them among the countries,

I will be to them a little sanctuary where they are.

Then I will gather you from the people

and return you to the land of Israel.

And they will come and take away all the detestable things. I will give them one heart,

and I will put a new Spirit within you

so you will walk in my ways and be My people.

Then came certain of the elders to me.

The Lord said, These men have set up idols in their heart, I won’t answer them.

They are estranged from Me through their idols.

I am against them.

Turn away from these abominations or

I will cut you off;

and you will know that I am the Lord.

I am God. I control everything, not them.

Don’t stray from Me and be polluted by transgressions or I will send my four terrible judgments: the sword, famine, and devouring animals, and disease,

but I will leave a few there

and you will see their doings, and be comforted,

and know that I had just cause

to bring these things on them. Ezekiel 14:21

To His beloved the Lord says,

You were born of the least noble on earth

(us since the fall)

and cast out to die when born,

your cord not even being cut.

I passed by and saw you trampled in your own blood,

I said to Live! Yes! Live!

I raised you and you became very beautiful.

When I saw it was your time for love,

I entered a covenant with you,

and you became Mine.

I clothed you with fine linen and silk and beautiful jewels.

But you trusted in your own beauty and gave yourself to everyone that passed by.

You became worse than the worst harlot.

But I will remember My covenant with you.

I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

You will remember your ways and be ashamed, and never turn away from Me again.

Turn from wickedness and live.

I brought them from slavery in Egypt

to the glory of all lands,

and ‘to sit with Him on His throne

to ages without end.

I will purge out from among you the rebels,

Cries of grief to the shepherds that feed themselves a

nd not My flock. You eat the fat

and clothe yourselves with their wool

but don’t feed them or strengthen the diseased

or heal the sick or bind up the broken.

You drive them away

and don’t seek the lost

but rule them with force and cruelty.

I will deliver my flock from their mouth, t

hat they may not be food for them.

I will feed them on the mountains of Israel

by the rivers.

in a good pasture. I will bind up what is broken, and strengthen the sick.

Those cruel to My people will be desolate.

In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel,

and set me on a very high mountain,

by which was the frame of a city on the south.

A man who appeared like bronze

had a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed.

He stood in the gate said,

Tell the house of Israel, show them a great

beautiful city with a glorious temple for the Lord.

I will dwell in the midst of them forever.

Living waters came from under the threshold of the house toward the east.

And everywhere these waters flow the waters

everything lives.

Ezekiel (God strengthens) spoke the Lord’s words, calling beloved mankind back to Him for 88 years from 593-571 bc

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Hebrews 7:26

By one offering He has perfected forever them that are toward Him. Hebrews 10:14

He forgives all their sins and heals all their diseases. He crowns them with His love, and renews their youth like the eagles. Psalm 103:3-5

“I will come again and receive you to Myself that where I am there you will be.

John 14:3

The throne of the universe

The Glory of God

in Daniel

That you may know

www.truthofhim.com

That the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whoever He will.

Daniel 4:17

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it. The Lord gave into his hand people and temple treasures that He put in the house of his god in Shinar.

He took the best of their children.

Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah who they renamed Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Daniel set in his heart not to pollute himself with the king’s food or wine, and with these 3 friends asked to eat only vegetables.

God gave Daniel favor with the prince over the eunuchs

who tested them on this food for ten days.

And found them brighter and healthier than the others.

God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom:

and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

And when the king tested them

he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

In the 2nd year of His reign Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams that troubled his spirit keeping him awake. He called the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his dreams. He didn’t remember the dream and said, If you don’t make known to me the dream,

with its meaning you will be cut in pieces,

and your houses made a dunghill.

When they came to kill Daniel and his friends

Daniel asked for time to ask mercies of the God of heaven about this.

God revealed the secret to Daniel in a night vision,

and he blessed the God of heaven saying,

Blessed be the name of God forever and ever:

wisdom and strength are His.

He changes the times and the seasons:

He removes kings,

and sets up kings: He gives wisdom to the wise,

and knowledge to them that know understanding:

He reveals the deep and secret things:

He knows what is in the darkness,

and the light dwells with Him.

When taken before the king Daniel said, It isn't in me, O king, to do this, but there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar

what will happen in the latter days.

You saw a great image of awesome excellent brightness

with a head of gold, breast and arms of silver,

belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron,

and feet part iron and part clay.

You watched and saw a stone was cut out without hands

that struck the image on the feet so it all became broken

and blew away like chaff on the summer threshing floors.

You king are a king of kings

for the God of heaven has you a kingdom, power,

and strength, and glory.

Everything is under your power. You are the head of gold.

After you will rise a lesser kingdom and a 3rd of brass which will rule the earth. The 4th world ruling kingdom will be strong as iron and breaks and subdues all others.

The iron mixed with clay is part strong and part broken.

In the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, but will consume all other kingdoms

and will be forever.

Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold 90 feet tall and 9 feet wide. He set it up in the plain in Babylon. Demanding all bow to it or be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, Our God is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and from you.

The furious king had the furnace heated so hot it killed the guards who threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in.

Then the king, astounded, said, I see four men loose,

walking in the midst of the fire, with no hurt;

and the fourth is like the Son of God.

The king promoted the three

and forbid anything be said against the Lord.

He said, How great are His signs! How mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.

I was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace and saw a vision that troubled me and none could tell me the meaning. I called Daniel in whom is the Spirit of the Living God,

I saw a tree of great height.

The tree grew, and was strong and beautiful,

and the reached to heaven, and the ends the earth:

It was beautiful with food for all.

the beasts of the field had shadow under it,

and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in its branches,

and all flesh ate of it.

A watcher and a holy one came down from heaven

and called loudly,

Cut down the tree, and scatter his fruit:

but leave the stump of his roots in the earth,

give it a beast's heart for 7 years.

So that all living may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever He will.

Daniel said, My lord,

let the dream be for those who hate you.

The tree that you saw, It is you. You have become very great. You will be driven from men,

and live with animals of the field,

eating grass as oxen, until you know

that the most High rules in the kingdom of men,

and gives it to whoever He will.

Stop your sins by righteousness, show mercy to the poor;

it may lengthen your tranquility.

12 months later the king was walking around his palace roof

bragging about how great he and his kingdom were.

He was driven from men

and his hair grew into feathers and his nails like claws

and he ate grass with the oxen.

At the end of the days,

I lifted My eyes to heaven,

and my understanding returned to me,

and I blessed the most High,

and I praised and honored Him that lives forever,

whose dominion is an everlasting dominion,

and His kingdom is from generation to generation.

He does His will in the army of heaven,

and among the those on earth:

and none can stop His hand

The glory of my kingdom and my honor returned unto me;

and excellent majesty was added to me.

Now I praise and extol the King of heaven,

all whose works are truth, and His ways judgment:

and those that walk in pride He is able to humble.

The Most High Rules

The Glory of God in Daniel ii

After Nebuchadnezzar, his son, Belshazzar, was made king. After 13 years of his reign, he made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in golden goblets

taken out of the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem

and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Right then fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote on the wall, terrifying the king. None of his wise men could interpret the writing.

The queen came and said, There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the gods,

was found in him; Call Daniel. He will show the meaning. Daniel was 83 when brought before Belshazzar. He listened to the king and then answered,

The Most High God gave your father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor so that all people, nations, and languages, trembled before him.

But when his heart was lifted up and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed and ate grass like oxen until he knew that the Most High

God rules in the kingdom of men and sets over it whoever he will. You knew all this but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. You praised the gods of silver,

and gold, that don’t see or hear or know.

And the God in whose hand is your breath and all your ways you haven’t glorified. This writing was sent from Him.

Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. Mene means God has numbered your days

and finished your kingdom.

Tekel, you are weighed in the balances and found lacking.

Upharsin, Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

The king promoted Daniel and gave him many gifts. Belshazzar was killed that night as Darius the Mede

took the kingdom by stopping the water in the aqueduct and slipping his forces through there into the city.

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 princes. Daniel was first because an excellent Spirit was in him.

But the princes, being envious ,and finding no fault in Daniel, sneaked an edict into law saying no one could pray

to any besides Darius for 30 days. Then they accused Daniel and he was thrown into the den of starving lions. The king said, Your God will deliver. The king couldn’t sleep and hurried in the morning

to the den calling out,

Daniel, servant of the Living God,

was as your God able to deliver you?

Daniel said, My God sent His angel

and shut the lions' mouths.

The king brought Daniel out with joy

and had his accusers thrown in.

The lions broke all their bones before they fell

to the bottom of the pit.

They dug a pit for me

but have fallen into it themselves.

Psalm 57:6

Then king Darius wrote to all people, nations,

and languages, that dwell in all the earth;

Peace be multiplied to you. I decree that all men tremble before the God of Daniel.

He is the Living God and steadfast forever, and His kingdom will have no end. He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth.

Daniel 6:26

‘Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works that You have done, and Your thoughts toward us are more than can be counted.’ Psalm 40:5

How shall we escape, if we neglect so a great salvation? Hebrews 2:3 From a Love so great that He that spared not His own Son,

but delivered Him up for us all.

Romans 8:32

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, higher than the heavens.

Who by one offering has perfected forever those being sanctified. Hebrews 7:24-27

Hebrews 10:14

Making us holy as

He is holy

Visions of Kingdoms

www.truthofhim.com.

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and what it meant.

I saw the four winds of the heaven striving on the great sea (nations fighting each other to rule the world). And four great beasts came up from the sea.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand

on a man’s feet and a man's heart was given to it. (This king believed in God and became part of His eternal royal family.)

And a second beast like a bear (rulers that devour God’s flock instead of feeding them, He calls beasts).

After this I saw another, like a leopard, which had 4 wings of a bird and 4 heads. The 4th beast was dreadful and exceedingly strong with great iron teeth that devoured

and stomped the remainder with its feet. It had 10 horns, sub-rulers. I saw another little horn come among them with eyes like a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

I watched until the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days sat, whose clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the purest wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and its wheels as burning fire. A stream of fire came from before Him,

Countless thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened. The little horn was killed and given to the burning flame(hell). The rest had their rulership taken away: yet their lives were prolonged

a little while.

Then I saw one like the Son of man come with the clouds of heaven to the Ancient of days, and He was given rulership, and glory,

and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, would serve Him.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion,

that won’t pass away or be destroyed.

I asked one that stood beside me the truth of all this.

He told me the meaning: These great beasts, are four kings that will rise up to rule over the whole earth.

But the saints of the Most High will take

and possess the kingdom through endless ages.

Then I asked about the 4th beast

and he said, The 4th beast will be the 4th kingdom on earth, that will devour the whole earth and trample it to pieces.

He will speak great words against the Most High, change the law

and will wear down His saints for 3 ½ years.

But the judgment will sit,

and they will take away his dominion.

And the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven

will be given to the people of the Most High,

whose kingdom is everlasting,

and all dominions will serve Him.

The people that know their God will be strong

and do exploits.

Those that turn many to their Maker

will shine as the stars forever.

Daniel 12:3

The Lord of hosts will reign

before His people gloriously. Isaiah 24:23

When the Son of man comes in His glory,

and all the holy angels with Him,

He will sit on the throne of His glory a

nd all nations will be gathered before Him.

He will separate them as a shepherd divides

his sheep from the goats:

the King will say to those that did right,

Come, you blessed of My Father,

inherit the kingdom prepared for you

from the foundation of the world.

Matthew 25:31-34

These human rulers throughout history display forever

that only God is able rule rightly:

only He knows everything, has all the power,

and shepherds with love.

Daniel prayed, O Lord, the great and awesome God,

who keeps covenant and mercy to those that love Him.

We have sinned, departing from You and your ways. We haven’t listened to Your words. You are right

in all You’ve done to us.

To You belong mercies and forgiveness.

Daniel 9:4-9

While I was speaking in prayer,

Gabriel flew swiftly to me, touched me ,and gave me to understand that the vision was for the end times:

Seventy weeks are determined on your people

and your holy city

1. to finish the transgression.

2. to make an end of sins.

3. to make reconciliation for iniquity.

4. to bring in everlasting righteousness.

5. to seal up the vision.

6. and finish the prophecy,

7.and to anoint the Most Holy.

Daniel 9:24

Recall God’s original plan,

Let us make man in our image;

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

and over the fowl of the air,

and over everything on the earth. Genesis 1

Jesus, telling his disciples their future, will say to the faithful, Well done, good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things:

enter into the joy of your Lord.

Matthew 25:21

Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,

and princes will rule in justice. Isaiah 32:1

The wolf will dwell with the lamb,

and the calf with the young lion,

and a little child will lead them.

He ends all violence. Isaiah 11:6

Every man will sit under his vine

and under his fig tree and none will make them afraid. Micah 4:4

Jesus Christ, the firstborn of the dead,

and the Prince of the kings of the earth who loves us,

and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

has made us kings and priests to God.

Revelation1 :5, 6

He restored mankind to oneness with their Maker,

who alone is life,

and He rules with them on His throne through wondrous ages without end.

I am persuaded, that not death, or life, or angels, or powers, anything, can separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38, 39

We praise and honor Him

who lives forever.

The Glory of God

in Hosea

I will love them freely

www.truthofhim.com.

The word of the Lord that came to Hosea through the reign of 4 kings between 753-722 years before Christ.

Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Matthew 4:4

The Lord told Hosea, Go, take a wife who is a whore and have children with her because the nation has committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord.

This is a living reflection of God calling out to all those made in His image to return to Him because He the Source and Sustainer of life.

So, Hosea went and took Gomer who conceived and bare him a son. The Lord said to him, Call his name Jezreel;

for in a little while and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12:19

God had made Jehu king and sent him to destroy the deep wickedness of Ahab and Jezebel’s reign. Jehu did this rightly and God gave him the reign over Israel

for 4 generations.

But Jehu went overboard slaughtering too many in Jezreel. He also turned to idolatry.

So his reign was cut off.

Whereas,

He that overcomes will set with Me on My throne, forever. Revelation 3:21

Gomer conceived again and bare a daughter.

And God said to him, Call her name Loruhamah (no mercy): for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

But I will have mercy on the house of Judah

and will save them by the Lord their God.

I will not save them by bow, or by sword,

or by battle, or by horses, or by horsemen.

Not by might or by power

but by My Spirit, says the Lord.

Zechariah 4:6

The battle is the Lord’s.

1 Samuel 17:47

Stand still and see the deliverance of the Lord.

Exodus 14:13

Gomer conceived again and bare a son.

Then God said, Call his name Loammi

(not My people) for you are not My people,

and I will not be your God.

Yet the number of the children of Israel

will be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.

And where you are not My people,

you will be called the sons of the Living God.

Gomer ‘played the harlot’ and had children not Hosea’s, reflecting God’s unfaithful people.

The Lord said, I will hedge up your way

with thorns and make a wall so you can’t find the path.

She didn’t know that I gave her the grain,

and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold.

(All our blessings are from God.)

I will take away the blessings and allure

(powerfully and mysteriously attracting and fascinating) her, and bring her into the wilderness,

and speak comfortably to her.

And I will betroth you to Me forever;

I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, in justice,

love, in mercies, and in faithfulness:

and you will know the Lord.

Gomer had left Hosea for others

and ended up in the slave market.

The Lord said, Go take her back

and love her as I take back and love the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love pitchers of wine.

So, I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for a 6 ½ bushels of barley. You will be only with me and no other and I only for you.

The Lord had a lawsuit against Israel because there is no truth, or mercy, or knowledge of God in the land

but much stealing, killing, and adultery.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

because you rejected knowledge,

I will also reject you from being priest to Me .

You will no longer be priests to me.

Come, and let us return to the Lord:

for He has torn, and He will heal us.

I desire mercy and not sacrifice

and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

O Israel, you have destroyed yourself;

but in Me is your help.

I will ransom them from the power of the grave;

I will redeem them from death.

Turn to the Lord and say to Him,

Take away all our iniquity, and receive us graciously:

so, we will render offerings of our lips to You.

I will heal their back sliding.

I will love them freely.

He will grow as the lily (tall, elegant, and beautiful.)

And his beauty will be as the olive tree,

and his smell as Lebanon.

The ways of the Lord are right,

and the just will walk in them:

but the transgressors will fall there.

You will worship no other god:

for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14

Where there is no love, there is no jealousy.

Set me as a seal upon your heart

for love is as strong as death;

jealousy is cruel as the grave:

its coals are coals of fire

that have the Lord's flame.

Song of Solomon 8:6

One thing have I desired of the Lord,

that will I seek after;

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to behold the beauty of the Lord,

and to enquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4

I am My beloved's, and My beloved is mine.

Song of Solomon 6:3

We are His by creation,

for He made all mankind in His image.

Genesis 1:27

The highest honor in the universe.

And we are His by redemption.

We were bought back to God from the ‘slave market of sin’ at the highest price ever paid for anything.

By Him who is ‘holy, harmless, undefiled,

separate from sinners,

and higher than the heavens.’ Hebrews 7:26

By one offering He has perfected forever those that are sanctified

The Glory of God

in Joel

I love you with an everlasting love, says the Lord.’ Jeremiah 31:3

www.truthofhim.com.

The word of the Lord that came to Joel, Hear this and tell it to your children, and their children, down through the generations. What the palmerworm has left the locust has eaten and the cankerworm ate what the locust left.

Wake up and weep you drunkards for the wine is cut off.

A nation has come upon My land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth great lion. The fig trees are stripped down to the white bark.

Mourn in sackcloth like a virgin for the husband of her youth for the grain is wasted: the new wine is dried up,

the oil gone.

Howl for the wheat and for the barley because the harvest of the field has perished. The palm tree and apple tree are withered because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

In His Presence is fullness of joy,’Psalm 16:11 They have not sought the Presence of the Lord.

Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly to the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, for destruction is coming from the Almighty.

The animals groan, the herds are perplexed because they have no pasture. The flocks of sheep are desolate.

Flame has burned all the trees of the field.

The rivers of waters are dried up.

Sound an alarm in My holy mountain:

let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:

for the day of the Lord comes, for it is near.

As the morning spreads across the mountains

a great and mighty people like no other,

are coming.

A fire devours:

the land is as the garden of Eden before them,

and behind them a desolate wilderness.

Nothing will escape them

and when they fall upon the sword,

they shall not be wounded.

The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble.

The Lord utters His voice before His army.

His camp is very great: for He is strong that executes His word.

Now, says the Lord,

turn to Me with all your heart,

turn to the Lord your God:

for He is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger, and of great kindness.

Perhaps He will turn from judgment and bless.

Gather to Him and say,

Spare Your people.

The Lord will answer and say,

I will send you grain, and wine, and oil to satisfy you .

I will remove dangerous armies

and violence far from you.

Fear not, rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.

The pastures of the wilderness will spring,

the trees bear fruit, the fig tree and the vines

provide abundance.

Rejoice in the Lord in the Lord your God:

for He will give abundant rain,

and the grain floors will be full

and vats will overflow with wine and oil.

And I will restore to you

the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm,

and the cater piller and the palmerworm,

my great army that I sent among you.

The Lord your God, will do wondrously with you

and you will never be ashamed or lacking.

And you will know that I am in your midst

and there is no other.

And afterward,

I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh;

and your sons and your daughters

will speak My words,

your old men will dream dreams,

your young men will see visions:

And I will show wonders in the heavens

and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun will be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood,

before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

And whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered.

I will also gather all nations, and will bring

them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat

and will judge them there for My people they have scattered among the nations

and took My land as plunder.

And gave the boys for harlots and sold the girls for wine.

Swiftly I will return your doings on your own head. You have taken My silver, gold, and treasures.

I will raise them out of the place where you sold them and will return payment on your own head.

And I will sell your sons and your daughters, for the Lord has spoken it.

Tell the nations, Prepare for war.

Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning

hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Gather the nations to the valley of Jehoshaphat:

for there I will sit to judge for their wickedness is great.

The sun and the moon will be darkened, and the stars will withdraw their shining.

The Lord will roar, and the heavens

and the earth will shake:

but the Lord will be the hope

and strength of His people.

In that day the mountains will drop down new wine,

and the hills will flow with milk,

and all the rivers of Judah will flow with waters,

and a fountain will come out of the house of the Lord,

for the Lord dwells in Zion.

Lord, you have been our dwelling place

in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth or you had formed the earth and the world,

from eternal ages You are God.

Psalm 90:1, 2

To Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,

and the first born from the dead, a

nd the prince of the kings of the earth.

Him that loved us and washed us from our sins

in His own blood,

has made us kings and priests to God, His Father;

to Him be glory and dominion forever.

Revelation 1:4, 5

Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from

sinners, higher than the heavens

Who gives us eternal life, says,

Hebrews 7:26

Don’t let your heart be troubled.

In My Father's house are many mansions.

I will come again, and receive you to Myself

that where I am you may be also,

the throne of the universe,

with Him who is infinite love.

With Him who is

Infinite Love

The Glory of God

in Amos

My Special Treasure

www.truthofhim.com.

The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, what he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

He said, The Lord will roar from Zion and the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither.

The Lord says, For three transgressions and for four,

I will not turn away its punishment

because they have threshed My people

with instruments of iron.

I will send a fire that will devour your palaces,

and your people will be taken captive.

I will cut off him that holds the scepter

and turn My hand against them,

and their remnant will perish.

Because he pursued his brother with the sword,

stopped all mercy, and kept his wrath forever:

I will send a fire to devour the palaces

of those that ripped up the women with child

to enlarge their border.

They will die with tumult, with shouting,

and with the sound of the trumpet:

I will cut off the judges and will kill all the princes

with him, says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Judah, and for four,

I will not turn away its punishment because

they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept His commandments, and their lies caused them to err causing much evil, suffering, grief, loss and pain.

I will send a fire to devour its palaces.

For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment because

they sold the righteous for silver,

and the poor for a pair of shoes.

A man and his father go in to the same maid,

to profane My holy name.

They lay down on clothes taken by cheating

and drink the wine of those falsely condemned

in the house of their idol.

Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them,

who were as tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks.

I brought you up from the land of Egypt

and led you 40 years through the wilderness.

I am pressed down heavily under your load of sin

as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.

You were My special treasure of all the people on earth.

There are only two paths to follow.

You either follow your Maker,

the Maker of heaven and earth

who loves you so much that He gave

His infinitely holy and precious Son

to buy you back to Himself from all sin and evil.

Or you are following the enemy of

the Sovereign Creator of the universe.

He that is not for Me is against Me.

Mark 9:40

I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Can two walk together unless they agree?

Therefore ,an enemy will surround the land

and bring down your strength

and plunder your palaces.

I also have given you lack of food in all your places

but you have not returned to me, says the Lord.

Prepare to meet your God.

For He that formed the mountains,

and creates the wind,

and declares to man what is His thought,

that makes the morning darkness,

and treads on the high places of the earth,

is calling you back to Him saying,

Seek Me and you will live.

Seek Him that makes the seven stars and Orion,

who calls up the waters of the sea,

and pours them out on the face of the earth:

The Lord is His name.

You afflict the just, take bribes.

Therefore, the prudent keep silence for it is an evil time. Seek good, and not evil, that you may live.

Then the Lord, the God

of all the armies of angels in heaven,

will be with you.

Hate evil, and love good.

Establish justice:

it may be that the Lord God of hosts

will be gracious to you.

Take away from Me the noise of your songs

for I will not hear their melodies.

But let justice flow as waters,

and righteousness as a mighty river.

King Amaziah sent Amos away, saying,

don’t speak of these things here in my capital city.

Amos said to Amaziah, I wasn’t a prophet.

I was a herdsman,

and a gatherer of sycomore fruit (a type of figs),

when the Lord sent me to warn you.

Go, prophesy to My people Israel.

Now your wife will be a harlot in the city,

and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.

This nation will go into captivity.

I will send a famine in the land,

not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,

but of hearing the words of the Lord.

Then, when you return to Me,

I will raise up the ruins

and rebuild it as in the days of old

and you will possess it.

Days are coming when the plowman

will overtake the reaper,

and the treader of grapes him that sows seed;

and the mountains will drop sweet wine.

I will bring back My people.

They will rebuild the cities, and dwell in them;

and they will plant vineyards and drink their wine,

make gardens and eat their fruit.

And I will plant them on their land,

and they always remain there, says the Lord your God.

Exodus 34:6,7

We have high priest who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

Hebrews 7:26, 27

Who, ‘by one offering perfected forever’ those that believe in Him. Hebrews 10:14

Who says to all, Come to Me all you that

labor and are heavy loaded and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again

and receive you to Myself,

that where I am, there you will be also.

(The throne of the universe).

For I love you with an everlasting love.

Everlasting Love

The Glory of God

in Obadiah and Jonah

The vision of Obadiah

www.truthofhim.com.

God, who at various times and in different ways

spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

has in these last days spoken to us by His Son,

whom He has appointed heir of all things,

by whom also He made the worlds;

Who being the brightness of His glory,

and the expressed image of His person,

and upholding all things by the word of His power,

when He had, by Himself, cleansed our sins,

sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Hebrews 1:1-3

Obadiah’s name means servant of Jehovah (God’s name for His intense, eternal self-existence). Through him, God sent warning, ‘not willing that any perish’ but that all turn to Him and be saved. 2 Peter 3:9

'What if God, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

That He might make known the riches

of His glory on the vessels of mercy,

which He had prepared before for glory,

'He that didn’t spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also freely give us all things?'

Romans 8:32

He that overcomes will inherit all things

and I will be his Father and he will be My Son. Revelation 21:7

They could have had it all, but had to be the first.

The Lord God says concerning Edom;

(the country of Esau, Jacob’s twin brother

who had no heart for God,

and sold his birthright for a bowl of beans).

We have heard a rumor from the Lord,

and an ambassador is sent among the nations,

Get up, against her in battle.

(They chose false gods and war was in the gates.

Judges 3:8) Edom’s false god is self, the nature of all fallen mankind)

Behold, I have made you small among the nations

and greatly despised.

The pride of your heart has deceived you,

you that dwell in the clefts of the rock,

whose dwelling is high, that says in his heart,

Who can bring me down from here?

Though you exalt yourself as the eagle,

and set your nest among the stars,

I bring you down from there, says the Lord.

If thieves came by night,

if the grape gatherers came to you,

would they not leave some grapes?

But you will be stripped bare,

even your hidden treasures taken by your allies.

Your wise men will be taken and your mighty warriors

will be cut off by slaughter.

For your violence against your brother Jacob

you will be shamed and cut off forever.

You shouldn’t have watched and rejoiced

the day your brother was taken captive

and then plundered their possessions,

and blocked the crossroads from those trying to escape.

For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations:

what you have done will be done to you.

As you have drunk on My holy mountain,

so will all the nations drink and swallow down,

and be as though they’d never existed.

But on mount Zion will be deliverance,

and holiness;

and My people possess their possessions.

Jacob will be a fire,

and the house of Esau stubble,

devoured until none remain:

for the Lord has spoken it.

Saviors will come up on mount Zion

to judge the mount of Esau;

and the kingdom will be the Lord's.

He that is not with Me is against Me;

and he that doesn’t gather with Me

scatters everywhere. Matthew 12:30

Book ofJonah

When the Lord sent Jonah to Nineveh

to warn the people

that He was about to destroy them for their evil,

Jonah got up and ran the other way,

from the Presence of the Lord,

because the Ninevites were Israel’s hated enemies.

But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea.

The seasoned sailors were terrified

and prayed to their gods,

but Jonah was inside, asleep.

The crew cast lots to see whose fault this was.

The lot fell on Jonah.

Who are you? They asked.

He said, ‘I am a Hebrew;

and I fear the God of heaven,

who made the sea and land.

They asked what can we do?

Jonah said,

Throw me into the sea and it will be calm.

The men rowed hard, but the storm raged.

They prayed, Lord, don’t let us perish for this man's life: for you have done what pleased You.

Then they threw Jonah into the sea, and it stopped raging.

The Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish 3 days and nights.

Then Jonah prayed: ‘all Your waves rolled over me. The weeds wrapped around my head. I went to the bottoms of the mountains. I will pay what I vowed. Jonah had promised to do God’s will.

The Lord spoke to the fish,

and it vomited Jonah onto the beach.

Jonah went and called out as he walked through Nineveh, ‘In 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed.’ The king put on sackcloth, and sat in ashes, saying, ‘

Everyone turn from your evil

and your violence.’

God saw that they turned from their evil,

and He stopped His plan to destroy them.

That enraged Jonah.

He said, That’s why I ran.

I knew You are gracious and turn from doing harm. The Lord asked, Is it right for you to be angry? Jonah left and made a booth for shade,

to watch what happened to the city.

The Lord made a plant grow over Jonah’s head.

He was very happy about the plant.

But in the morning God prepared a worm

and it struck the plant so that it withered.

The sun beat on Jonah’s head.

He was faint and wished to die.

God asked, Is it right for you to be angry about the plant? You pitied the plant that you didn’t grow.

Shouldn’t I spare Nineveh, that great city,

where there are more than 120,000 that can’t tell their right hand from their left (little children).

God shows His great love for us

in that while we were still His enemies,

Christ died for us.’ Romans 5:7, 8

Christ died for us

The Glory of God

in Micah

Always with Him

www.truthofhim.com.

The word of the Lord (a word so powerful He spoke creation into being, Psalm 33:6-9) that came to Micah 750 to 686 b.c.

Hear, O earth, and all that is in it: and let the Lord God be witness against you, (how terrifying to be called to court and the Lord is the witness against you), from His holy temple. He’s coming from His place. The mountains will melt before Him as in a fire for transgression and sin.

I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: For her wound is incurable. ‘I am broken with their whorish heart.’ Ezekiel 6:9

Yet I will bring an heir to you. He will come, the Glory of Israel.

Cries of grief to those that plan iniquity on their beds! When the morning is light, they do it:

they covet fields and houses and take families violently from the heritage God gave them. So, I’m devising an evil, from which you can’t escape.

Do not My words do good to him that walks uprightly? My words are life to all who find them and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22

The words I speak to you, they are Spirit

and they are life. John 6:63

The breaker is come up before them: and their king will pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them.

Hear, I pray you, O princes,

Is it not for you to know judgment? They will cry to the Lord, but He will not hear them

for they are doing evil.

The prophets make My people err, saying,

Peace, it will be well, when they are pursuing everything

but God who made them.

Genesis 1:26

The seers (ones who see visions) will be ashamed.

Micah 3:7

But truly, I am full of power

by the Spirit of the Lord,

and of judgment, and of might, to declare transgression.

Please hear this, you that build the nation by violence, taking bribes, charging for teaching, and still say,

The Lord is with us, no evil can happen to us.

Because of you this nation will be plowed as a field,

and the temple mount as the high places of the forest.

But in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord will be set in the top of the mountains,

exalted above the hills;

and people will flow unto it.

Many nations will come, saying,

The Lord will teach us His ways,

and we will walk in His paths.

He will judge rightly and rebuke strong nations.

They will beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruninghooks.

Man won’t learn war anymore.

But every man will sit under his vine

and his fig tree and none will make them afraid.

I assemble her that limps

and make her into a strong nation.

I will gather those cast out,

and the Lord will reign over them in mount Zion

from now forever.

Nations that gather against you to plunder you

will be as kindling for their own destruction,

and I will consecrate their gain to the Lord,

and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

You Bethlehem, though little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you

will come to Me

He that will rule, who is from the eternal ages.

He will stand and feed in the strength of the Lord,

in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;

(giving the Bread of heaven into the hearts of the people)

and they will remain

for He will be great to the ends of the earth.

and this Man will be the peace.

And all your enemies and all evildoers will be cut off.

You will no longer worship

(the word worship means to kiss the face)

the work of your hands.

The Lord has a lawsuit with His people.

I brought you up out slavery in Egypt.

I turned all Balak’s curses on you to blessings.

I only require that you do right and love mercy

and walk humbly with your God.

Should I call pure those that cheat, steal, lie,

and force their own way by violence.

I make you desolate because of your sins.

My soul desired the first ripe fruit,

but every wicked thing is done.

A man's enemies are the men of his own house.

I will look to the Lord.

I will wait for the Lord. My God will hear me. When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. I will bear His indignation

because I have sinned against Him.

He will bring me out to the light,

and I will behold His righteousness.

Like the days of your coming out of Egypt

I will show marvellous things.

Who is a God like You that pardons iniquity

because He delights in mercy.

He will have compassion on us;

He will subdue our iniquities

and cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

Micah 1-7

He that formed the mountains, and creates the wind,

and declares His thoughts to man,

that makes the morning darkness,

and treads upon the high places of the earth.

He that made of one blood all nations

to dwell on the earth and set their borders

so they would seek Him

Who says to each one made in His image,

I love you with an everlasting love.
