Rooted In Truth

Habakkuk 2:25 And the lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith).

Now here is what is said in the New Testament

Hebrews 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draws back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”

Here we have a very strong warning when it talks about how the just shall live by his faith. Very clear words there. Every Christian church will teach every single Sunday that you should live by your faith in Jesus Christ. It seems to be speaking another strong message in there also. When it says that his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him. Well, you have the resurrection of Jesus which seems to be very similar to what they are saying in this verse. For was not his soul lifted up into heaven? According to what everyone teaches about him?

Habakkuk 2:13 (Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity)?

Habakkuk 3:4 (And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power).

Hebrew 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:”

Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keeps the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Here is another verse that led me, in the beginning, to believe that Jesus could possibly be the beast that they are talking about in the bible. For who do we know that has had a deadly wound and has been healed from it? It also talks in the form of the beast that was, yet is not, and even he will rise up out of the pit and go into perdition. And the whole world will wonder. They say there is 7 kings. Five who are fallen, one that is and one that is coming. Then it says that even he will make the 8th, and will be of the 7.

Meaning that one of these kings that they are talking about has to be a king that will have reigned before. Someone such as Donald Trump, if he were to get office again in 2024. Or someone like Jesus. Who is known as the king of kings here on earth. And he has been here before. So it would make someone such as Jesus a part of the 7 kings, and also the 8th king they talk about.

(Rev 10 )And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

(Rev 14:10) (The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of god, and the faith of Jesus).

If you look at the above verse I really do not know how much clearer the bible can possibly be when it comes to who is going to be the ones who will be tormented with fire and brimstone. It clearly states above that the ones who worship the beast and his image or receive his mark, will have no rest. And then goes on to say, “here are they that keep the commandments of god, and the faith of Jesus”. It has taken me about a year of studying the Bible to actually catch that one sentence in Revelation. I have read it many times. Yet it never really caught my attention as to what they were truly saying in it. And it is so very straightforward.

Christians would be the ones who are preaching to keep the commandments of god while keeping their faith in Jesus. Isn’t that what they always tell you? To have faith? While also preaching that we should be living by the 10 commandments?

Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony.

The above verse is speaking about the 2 witnesses. As is the verses below. So it has led me to the conclusion that Jesus is one of the witnesses they speak of in the Bible. Not only does the part of giving gifts and making merry fit right in with Christmas, but we also have the resurrection part of the witnesses. There are not too many people out there who have been resurrected after 3 days in the grave! Then there is also the timeframe. The witnesses were to have prophisied in Jerusalem for 3.5 years. Same thing with Jesus. He was in Jerusalem roughly around 3.5 years preaching in the synagogues. You also have the verse below that says right in the opening of Revelation that Jesus is the faithful witness, there to give his testimony. And the fact that they say they were dressed in sackcloth tells a whole lot. I mean we most definitely dress a whole lot different than they did back then. And it specifically states they were in sackcloth. And Jesus was basically betrayed and put to death by the devil. Who in certain Bibles says that the devil entered into Judas Iscariot’s body so that he could betray him to the guards. See below. So it is basically the same as the Dragon coming and slaying the 2 witnesses. It just didn’t take place at the same time as the other witness, and no one really knew. Until you read the Bible and see where it says that the devil takes over Judas’s body.

Now for the 2nd witness. It is my opinion that perhaps the 2nd witness would be John the Baptist. Who was also put to death right around the same time as Jesus. John being actually beheaded. He also fits the bill. Though not near as well as Jesus does. Still, he was dressed in sackcloth. He also prophesied in the same city as Jesus, and probably around the same timeframe. And if not John the Baptist, then my guess would be the other John of the Bible. One of Jesus’s disciples. What leads me to this conclusion would partly be because when they are talking in Revelation, they actually say that John will have to prophesy again to many people, languages, and nations. He also was a witness that night when Jesus gave his testimony. Not to mention that Jesus and his disciples were reportedly able to do all kinds of miracles. Such as healing people, casting out demons, pulling fire from heaven, and possibly shutting down heaven if they needed to. These are my opinions on the matter so far from what I have read in the Bible concerning these matters. Agree or disagree. Hopefully you will go and look up some of these things for yourself. For none shall fail who look up the words and study the Bible. Isaiah 34:16 (Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail.)

John 13:27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Hebrews 9:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. 18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going.

If you check out the above verse you will see where they basically are telling you that Moses never said anything concerning priesthood coming from the tribe of Judah. I admit I am very new to all of this. And there are certain parts in the Bible that I still do not understand at all! The New Testament does give me a little trouble, because I have been mainly studying into the Old Testament so far. I recently got started with some of the New however. First things first. If you notice the verse below, they are basically telling us that there is a lot more that needs said. HOWEVER, ye are dull of hearing! Their words exactly.

Hebrews 10 Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec. 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.”

Philemon 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

Philemon 1:9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

In the above we have 2 different instances where they speak about “Paul” being a prisoner of Jesus Christ. And I know that everyone tries to explain away the language in things like this to make it fit. But I have to say that I think that it is what it is. They are saying that Paul is a prisoner of Jesus’s.

1 Cor 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

1 Cor 9:16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.

(Romans 9:1-3) I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

(2 Cor 12:7-10) Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of satan to torment me– to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And he has said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of christ may dwell in. me. TYherefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficutlies, for christ ‘s sake; for when I am weak then I am strong.

(Eph 6:19-20) and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

(2 Cor 5:20) Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us, we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

(Matthew 10:34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace but a sword.

(Matthew 12:32) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law.

(Matthew 7:22-23) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

(Col 4:33) 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.

(Zech 3:1-4) He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan. The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire? Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, Remove the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.

Zech 3:5-8 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by. 6 And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

Zechariah 9:11 The LORD says, “Because of my covenant with you that was sealed by the blood of sacrifices, I will set your people free—free from the waterless pit of exile. Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee.

(Isaiah 54:16) For your maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name; and the Holy One of Israel is let;s say the God of the whole world.

(Luke 10:18)

(Luke 10:19)

(Eze 38:9-10) You will advance coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you. Thus says the Lord God: On that day thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme.

(Romans 10-4) For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

(1 John 2:19)

(Romans 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus.

John 10:28-30 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them ut of the father;s hand. I and the father are one.

What is a Revelation?

It is a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way.

Jer 25:27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

Jer 25:28 And it shall be , if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

(Hebrews 3) And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

(Daniel 8:8-12) (Therefore he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the hosts and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him, the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12 And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground, and it practiced, and prospered.)

(2 Timothy 2:18) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

I Timothy 5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.”

In the above verse from Daniel, I know that most people try saying that he is talking about the coming antichrist because of how it talks about he casts down the truth, practiced, and prospered. But if you look at the verse and how it states in there that he took away the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, I think that it tells you a big fact right there of who they are talking about. For was it not Jesus who actually took away the daily sacrifices? Because he supposedly sacrificed himself for all of the sins of the world? It cannot be talking about a future Christ or antichrist, however, you want to state it. Because the sacrifice had already been taken away. So how is another new person coming on the scene going to take away something that has already been taken away?

The Covenant

Matthew 26:24-27 (And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he comes. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.)

We need to read this next verse from the book of Isaiah if we are thinking that this new covenant is what god supposedly wanted.

Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.”

Luke 8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course, 9 According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord”.

The above verse is talking about how it was his lot to burn incense when he went into the temple of the lord. This is John the Baptist’s father they are talking about in the above verse. They also point out that John is one of the horn of salvation for the people. I have seen throughout the bible how god talks about how he hates that they burn incense. And more importantly, he hates it because they are burning it for other gods.

Jeremiah 44:1 His word came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in Lower Egypt–in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis ^[1] –and in Upper Egypt ^[2]:2″This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You saw the great disaster I brought on Jerusalem and on all the towns of Judah. Today they lie deserted and in ruins because of the evil they have done. They provoked me to anger by burning incense and by worshiping other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew. And again I sent my servants the prophets, who said, `Do not do this detestable thing that I hate!’

Luke 1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marveled all. 64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa. 66 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;”

And why is there always fear running rampant when it comes to Jesus and all of his people?

“Luke 2:15-19 (And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.)

What caught my attention with the above verse is how they refer to the child as it. And how secretive they seem to be with saying who the child actually is. Even his mother keeps all these things and ponders them in her heart.

Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart”.

Luke 4:1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

Luke 2:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever, I will I give it. v.7 If thou, therefore, wilt worship me, all shall be thine. v.13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. v.14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

Now what I find strange about the above passage is this. The devil is tempting Jesus in all of these varying ways. Now it states like he tells the devil no, just in a different type of wording. Yet when you go to the next verse it starts talking about how Jesus goes into Galilee and there is fame about him. And that he returns to Galilee in the power of the spirit. Another really big coincidence when it comes to certain happenings concerning Jesus.

Isa 9:1-2 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, whan at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, byyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

Look at this next verse also from the book of Luke.

Luke 2:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, v. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,”

Now I am not sure exactly what is up with the above verse. But there is something going on there. They are filled with rage towards Jesus for what he says to them while preaching. They take him and are going to throw him headlong down a ravine or something. And he just up and passes through them like he is a spirit or something. They also have another verse in Mark when Jesus comes back from the “dead”, where he just disappears after he made it known to 2 men who he was. The weird part, aside from just disappearing, is that the men said they should have known that it was Jesus because their hearts were burning when he was talking. Now I know that everyone interprets things differently, but I have to say that I do not get that at all. It seems to me that burning would not be a really good thing. And then he goes on about his way! In both disappearing instances. I don’t think that type of stuff happens every day!

Mark 1:24 (Says, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.”

Habakkuk 1:14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

Luke 6:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.”

With the above verse, I put both in to show how there was the one from the Old Testament, predicting that someone would one day be making men like the fishes of the sea. And then I put the New Testament verse that tells you how Jesus tells his newfound disciples that they would no longer be catching fish from the sea, but they would be catching men from there on out. Very strange wording in my opinion, once again.

“
Zechariah 13:5 (But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends).

The above verse of Zechariah is one of the most profound bible verses in my opinion for giving a warning to future readers of the bible. I mean you cannot get away from how they are basically saying that the person whose hands have the wounds is a liar. For they are fessing up in the above Bible verse.

Psalm 2:5 (All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

Matthew 16:17-18 (And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.)

The above verse would be one that goes into the category of Jesus saying things that did not happen the way he said they would happen. Because I do not believe that most Christians in the world are able to do the things listed above, just because they believe.

Corinthians 10:9 (Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.)

Hebrew 2:14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of us.

Deuteronomy 4:19 And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
