In This [Union And Communion With Him] Love Is Brought To Completion And Attains Perfection With Us, That We May Have Confidence For The Day Of Judgment [With Assurance And Boldness To Face Him], Because As He Is, So Are We In This World.

Then He Said To Them, “There Is No Fear In Love; But Perfected Love Casts Out Fear: Because Fear Has Torment.  He That Fears Is Not Made Perfect In Love” ~ {1 John 4:16-18}.

There Are So Many Scriptures About Yahweh’s Great And Wonderful And Intense Love With Which He Loved Us,
Enter Here To See Some~!

“Yahweh Appeared Of Old To Me, Saying, ‘Yes, I Have Loved You With An Everlasting Love. Therefore I Have Drawn You With Loving Kindness’…”, (Jeremiah 31:3).

Folks Sometimes Think That God Is Out To Get Us But It’s Because Of His Great Love That He Sent His Only Begotten Son For Us… For God So Loved The World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whoever Believes In Him Should Not Perish But Have Everlasting Life, (John 3:16).

Romans 2:4 ~ Or Do You Presume On The Riches Of His Kindness And Forbearance And Patience, Not Knowing That God’s Kindness Is Meant To Lead You To Repentance?

“Come Now, Let Us Reason Together, Says Yahweh: Though Your Sins Are Like Scarlet, They Shall Be As White As Snow; Though They Are Red Like Crimson, They Shall Become Like Wool”, (Isaiah 1:18).

A Cartoon Strip That Starts Off, “Love Is…”, And Then Gives A Drawing Depicting An Example Of Love.  This Seems Like An Appropriate Place To Talk About Yahweh For, “Yahweh Is Love”, (1 John 4:8).

In Galatians 6:2, We Are Instructed To, “Bear One Another’s Burdens, And So Fulfill, “The Law Of Christ”.

What Exactly Is, “The Law Of Christ”, And How Is It Fulfilled By Carrying Each Other’s Burdens?  While, “The Law Of Christ” Is Also Mentioned In 1 Corinthians 9:21, The Scriptures Nowhere Specifically Defines What Precisely Is “The Law Of Christ”.   However, Most Bible Teachers Understand, “The Law Of Christ”, To Be What Christ Stated Were The Greatest Commandments, {Found In Matthew 22:36-39; Mark 12:28–31; Luke 10:25-37; Deuteronomy 6:4-5}, “‘Which Commandment Is The Most Important Of All?’  Yahoshua Answered, ‘The Most Important Is, “Hear, O Israel: The Yahweh Our God, There Is The One And Only Lord.  And You Shall Love The Lord Your God With All Your Heart And With All Your Soul And With All Your Mind And With All Your Strength’”.  The Second Is This:, “You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself”.  There Is No Other Commandment Greater Than These Two.’”

Luke 1:52 ~ He Has Put Down The Mighty From Their Thrones And Exalted Those Of Low Degree.
James 1:9 ~ Let Those Of Low Degree Rejoice In That They Are Exalted.
Acts 4:13 ~ Now When They Saw The Boldness Of Peter And John, And Perceived That They Were Uneducated And Untrained Men, They Marveled. And They Realized That They Had Been With Jesus.
1 John 2:27 ~ But The Anointing Which You Have Received From Him Abides In You, And You Do Not Need That Anyone Teach You; But As The Same Anointing Teaches You Concerning All Things, And Is True, And Is Not A Lie, And Just As It Has Taught You, You Will Abide In Him.

To Say That Yahweh Is Love Sounds So Common, That We Probably Just Don’t Get It.  Sure, We Say We Love Ice Cream or Pizza, But To Really Get Yahweh’s Love, You’ve Got To Look At His Mercy And Grace, “Mercy” Is About Us NOT Getting What We Deserve.  Whereas, “Grace” Is About Us Getting Ahead With What We DON’T Deserve.  I’ll Show You What I Mean From The Scriptures.

(For God Did Not Send The Son Into The World In Order To Judge (To Reject, To Condemn, To Pass Sentence On) The World, But That The World Might Find Salvation And Be Made Safe And Sound Through Him ~ (John 3:17).

Look At Romans 2:4, ⁴Or Do You Despise The Riches Of His Goodness, Forbearance, And Patience, Not Knowing That The Goodness, {*Kindness), (Strong’s Concordance G5544),  Of Yahweh Leads You To Repentance?

Recall From My Previous Entries, At Ephesians 2:4-9, That In The Ages To Come He Might Show The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In “Kindness” Toward Us In Christ Jesus;

* In Ephesians 2:7, Lots Of Translations Read, “Kindness”. (Enter Here To See For Yourself).  The Greek Word Used Here, (Strong’s Concordance G5544), Is Often Interchanged And Translated As Either Kindness or Goodness.  Or Do You Disregard The Riches Of His Kindness, Tolerance, And Patience, Not Realizing That God’s Kindness Leads You To Repentance?   Remember God, {Yahweh} Is Good, The dEViL Is EViL.  To See Even More Scriptures Proving That Yahweh Is Good, (Enter Here).

Now Compare These Two Passages … Yahweh’s Kindness Leads You To Repentance… (Romans 2:4); Be Kind To Everyone … (2 Timothy 2:24), That Yahweh May Perhaps Grant Them Repentance, (Because Of His Kindness… Sort Of Like When A Person Of Old Comes Before The King, And The King Waves His Scepter, Meaning That The King Has Extends Graciousness Towards Them, And They Are Permitted An Audience With The King~!

2 Timothy 2:24-26 ~ English Standard Version (ESV) ~ ²⁴ And The Lord’s Servant Must Not Be Quarrelsome But KIND To Everyone, Able To Teach, Patiently Enduring Evil, ²⁵ Correcting His Opponents With Gentleness.  Lest At Any Time ^¤, God Will Grant Them Repentance Leading To A Knowledge Of The Truth, ²⁶ And They May Come To Their Senses And Escape From The Snare Of The Devil, After Being Captured By Him To Do His Will.

^¤ (John 5:34; Jeremiah 31:18,19,33;
Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 36:26,31;
Acts 8:22; 1 Timothy 2:4).

If Someone Has An “Abundance” Of Something, Like When It Comes To Tent Camping, I Have A Large Amount Of Tent Camping Supplies, So, It Could Be Said Of Me That I Am “Tent Rich”… (To Use The Word “Rich” To Mean An “Abundance”).  But, I Didn’t Just Become “Tent Rich” By Happenstance.  I Was In The Church Choir And I Found A Real Diamond Pin.  I Asked The Choir Director And We Made Mention Of It For About A Month, And No One Claimed It, So I Made A Tie-Tack Out Of It And Wore It For About A Year And A Half.  But, Then One Day I Took It To A Pawn Shop And Sold It And Bought My First Coleman 2-Burner Camping Stove With The Money That I Made From That Sale.

But, I Had To Make A Decision, Would I Rather Enjoy Looking Sparkly, or Have A Camping Stove, (And Then I Sold That Stove On eBay And Bought A 3-Burner Camping Stove And Added On Another 3-Burner Camping Stove And Folding Aluminum Tables And 17 Bag Chairs And Eventually Two Tents, (I Was Too Tense), And Seven Coleman Lanterns… I’m Tent-Rich. And Yahweh Is Mercy-Rich, But That Also Was A Choice, Just As It Is For Us When We Have To Walk In Love.  My Favorite, “Love Is… Saying”, Has Been “Love Is A Choice”.  We Have To Decide To Forgive, or To OverLook Transgression, (Proverbs 17:9 ~ Whoever Covers And Forgives An Offense” Seeks Love But Whoever Harps On A Matter” Separates Even Close Friends).

“There I Will Meet With You”

You Shall Put The Mercy Seat On Top Of The Ark, And In The Ark You Shall Put The Testimony That I Will Give You. There I Will Meet With You, And I Will Tell You From Above The “Mercy Seat”.

Today, I Just Want To Leave You With A Short But Profound Thought About Mercy.  My Desire Is To Have You Repent And Do Something Different Than You Were Doing. Matthew 7:1 Says “Judge Not That You Be Not Judged”… If I Asked As Many Christians As I Could, Is It Wrong To Judge?  They Would All Agree That It Is Wrong.  If I Asked The Same Bunch Of Folks “Do You Judge?”  They Would All Say, “No, I’m Not Judging, I’m Just… _______________ {Fill In The Blank}”.  Then It Seems That This Scripture Above Was Said In Vain.  Nobody Judges, So We’re All Good Down Here, Thank-You~!

James 5:9 ~ Brothers, Do Not Complain About One Another, So That You Will Not Be Judged.  Look, The Judge Stands At The Door~!

Matthew 5:7 ~ “Blessed Are The Merciful, For They Will Be Shown Mercy”.  What If I Showed You That By The Same Exact Manner That You Judge Others Is The Manner In Which You Are Being Judged Right Now.

Matthew 7:2-5 ~ ² For With Whatever Judgment You Judge, You Will Be Judged; And With Whatever Measure You Measure, It Will Be Measured To You. ³ Why Do You See The Speck That Is In Your Brother’s Eye, But Don’t Consider The Beam That Is In Your Own Eye? ⁴ Or How Will You Tell Your Brother, ‘Let Me Remove The Speck From Your Eye;’ And Behold, The Beam Is In Your Own Eye? ⁵ You Hypocrite~!  First Remove The Beam Out Of Your Own Eye, And Then You Can See Clearly To Remove The Speck Out Of Your Brother’s Eye.

You May Go Through The Same Trial, And Find Out How You’ll Fare, {Romans 2:1 ~ Therefore You Are Inexcusable, O Man, Whoever You Are Who Judge, For In Whatever You Judge Another You Condemn Yourself; For You Who Judge Practice The Same Things. (NKJV)}.

James 4:2 ~ Do Not Speak Evil Against One Another, Sisters And Brothers.  The One Who Speaks Against A Brother or Judges Their Sister or Brother, Speaks Evil Against The Law And Judges The Law. But If You Judge The Law, You Are Not A Doer Of The Law But A Judge.

You Reap What You Sow.  Sow Mercy And You’ll Reap Mercy.  However, You Judge Others Will Be How You Are Dealt With.  Can You See Where Love Is A Choice… You Must Decide.  Can Folks Come To You And Find A Mercy Seat In Your Eyes?  Even That One That Just Rubs You The Wrong Way?  Will There Be Extended Grace And Open Arms?  If You Really, Honestly Believed You Can How You Have Been Judging Others Is How You Are Going To Be Judged, You’d Repent Immediately At This Moment~!

Therefore Judge Nothing Before The Time, Until The Lord Comes, Who Will Both Bring To Light The Hidden Things Of Darkness, And Reveal The Counsels Of The Hearts.  Then Each Man Will Get His Praise From God, (1 Corinthians 4:5).

This Reminds Me Of The Word, “Pitch” Used In The Ark That Noah Built.  Remember That Genesis 6:14 Verse That Was Used So Much In The Movie, “Evan Almighty”, (Make An Ark Of Gopher Wood, {Cyprus Timbers}.  You Shall Make Rooms In The Ark.  And You Shall Pitch It Inside And Outside With Pitch, (The First Word Used As Pitch Is Strong’s Concordance #H3722 and It Means To Seal The Ark, To Make It WaterTight, To Maintain WaterTight Integrity.  Other Words That Are Translated, “Pitch”, Such As, “Pitch Their Tents”).

However, This Particular Word That Was Also Used As  Pitch Is Only Translated One Time As, “Pitch” In The King James, (As, “Sealed” In The World English Bible, And As, “Cover” In A Lot Of Translations), And 71 Times As, “Atonement” And 2 Times As, “Atonement Made” Elsewhere In The King James Scriptures; And It Means, “To Cover, Purge, Make An Atonement, Make Reconciliation” and Also To Propitiate, (And I’ll Come Back To That And Explain It In More Detail Later On, When I Refer To (Romans 3:25 & 1 John 4:10).).  The 2nd Word Also Translated As Pitch Is From Another Hebrew Word, and Describes The Material Used To Seal, Such As Asphalt or Tar, But It Also Means To Seal, To Cover.

In Other Words To Put In Our Modern Vernacular, “To Put A Lid On Something That Otherwise Stinks … Trash Container, Commode Lid, etc”. Or “To Keep Critters From Strewing Your Garbage All Over The Place While Camping, {or While We Live In This Tent}”.  To Cover It, To Seal It, So That The Sins Of The Neighbor Are Not Visible.  But

Proverbs 17:9 ~ ⁹ Immediately Came Up In My Spirit.  Whoever Covers” And Forgives An Offense” Seeks Love, But Whoever Harps On A Matter” Separates  Even Close Friends.  Enter Here For Other Scripture Verses About Covering Someone’s Sin.

James 5:19-20 ~ ¹⁹ My Sisters And Brothers, If Anyone Among You Wanders From The Truth And Someone Turns Him Back, ²⁰ He Should Know That The One Who Turns A Sinner Back From His Wandering Path Will Save That Person’s Soul From Death And Will Cover A Multitude Of Sins.

Proverbs 10:12; Proverbs 17:9;
1 Peter 4:8; James 5:19-20 ~ ^{Proverbs 10:12} Hatred Stirs Up Dissension, Heated Disagreement That Leads To Strife, Contentions, Discord, {Same Word Mentioned In Proverbs 6:14-19 As One Of Seven Things Yahweh Hates [Even An Abomination] ~ He That Sows Discord <OT:H4090>}, But Love Covers All Transgressions.  * NET Study Notes Commentary On Proverbs 10:12 ~ Love Acts Like Forgiveness.  Hatred Looks For And Exaggerates Faults; But Love Seeks Ways To Make Sins Disappear.

1 Corinthians 13:6  ~ ⁶ [Love] Does Not Rejoice In Iniquity, But Rejoices In The Truth; {NKJV}
([Love] Does Not Rejoice At Iniquity But Rejoices With The Truth. {Darby Translation}

The Self-Restraint Which Refuses To Take Advantage Of The Faults Of Others.  The Love Which Delights Not In Exposing The Weakness Of Others, But Covers Them Like A Medicated Bandage Over A Wound, {To Allow The Wound To Heal}.  The Sincerity Of Purpose Which Endeavors To See Things As They Are, And Rejoices To Find Them Better Than Suspicion Feared or Slander Denounced.  It Gets Not Pleasure Out Of The Shortcomings or Failures Of Others.  Love Embraces Those That Fail And It Builds Up Those Who Have Been Hurt.  It Finds No Room For Racism or Sexism.  It Is Not Full Of Hypocrisy or Dishonesty.  Love Is Sincere~!

“Timely Help”

Like When The Flood Came That Would Have Destroyed Man, Yahweh Had Noah Build An Ark Because Noah Found Grace In The Eyes Of Yahweh, (Genesis 6:8).  So, When We Say Yahweh Is Love, Are You Beginning To Get A Better Picture Of Who Yahweh Is.

Let Us Therefore Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace, That We May Obtain Mercy And Find Grace To Help In Time Of Need, (Hebrews 4:16).  The World English Bible Says, (“Timely Help”).

This May Sound Like Sour Grapes, But This Has Been What It Like For Us.  There Was A Trade-Off For Me Personally As I Know The Scriptures, Because My Children Passed Over And I Felt Like It Was A Lack Of Knowledge Of My Part Why My Children Passed Over So Young, (Hosea 4:6), {This May Only Be Partially True, But It Inspired Me To Dig Deep Into Yahweh’s Word}.  Otherwise, I Would Just Be A Parent, And Maybe Learn As I Went, But I Doubt Seriously That I’d Have Knowledge Of The Word Of Yahweh That I Have Obtained Because Of This Occurrence.  Perhaps, Knowing The Hurts, I Could Start An E-Harmony Of Sorts For Parentless Children And Orphans, And Match Them Together.  Because The Orphans Are Also Missing Out On Love And Material Things… That The Substitutive Parents Could Bring.  Pray With Me For Direction On This.  I May Contact Neil Clark Warren Of EHarmony… And Ask Him About This.

*The Single Eye Can Be Symbolic Of The Illuminati And The Third or All Seeing Eye. http://www.egrc.net/articles/director/articles_director_1203.html.

We Can Come Boldly To The Throne At Our Time Of Need, (Just In The Nick Of Time And Get Timely Help When We Need It, Not After The Fact)~!  We Can Come Boldly To The Throne, (Notice The Reference To Being Seated And That’s A Place Of Rest, Where Yahweh Would Be Seated, And Also Note That Yahweh Has Made Us To Sit With Him In The Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus.

Again Note The Reference To Being, “Seated”, (And A Place Of Rest), And This Is A Reference To The Mercy Seat, (I’ll Expound On This Below).  The Mercy Seat’s Thickness Is The Only Measurement Not Given, {This Has Got To Be NoteWorthy As Yahweh Didn’t Fail To Be Very Exacting Of The Other Dimensions In The Temple, But To Be Extremely Specific, And I Believe This Is Because Yahweh’s Mercy Has No Limitations, (*See Also Hebrews 4:1-12)}.

I’ll Ask Again, If You Knew Where Yahweh Would Be And Where He Would Meet You, Would You Show Up To Meet Him?  If Only You Knew.  Yahweh Said, “I Will Meet You At The Mercy Seat, And I Will Tell You From Above The ‘Mercy Seat’”, (Exodus 25:22).  At That Place Where You’ve Failed So Many Times Before.  At That Place Where The Sin That So Easily, “Traps”, “Ensnares” or, “Entangles” You, That Has, “Foiled” You So Often …

So, Instead Say, “I Love Righteousness, And I Hate Iniquity”, (Psalm 45:7; Hebrews 1:9).

“Where Yahweh Will Meet With Us~!”

Psalms 103:17 ~ But Yahweh’s Mercy; (Strong’s Concordance # 2617 ~ Sometimes Interpreted As, “Loving-Kindness”); Is From Everlasting To Everlasting With Those Who Fear Him, His Righteousness To Children’s Children; (The Hebrew Word For Loving-Kindness Is, “Chesed”, And Is The Same Word In The Greek New Testament As Agapao, (Strong’s Concordance # 25) ~ Agape, (Strong’s Concordance # 26), “Love”.

“Good News~!”
Yahweh Is Good. All The Time, And All The Time Yahweh Is Good~!

Have You Ever Thought Something Was True, or Not True.  Like When You’ve Got Company Coming Over And You Think That You Have Time To Take Out The Garbage; But Someone Points Out, “They’re Here”, And You Don’t Believe Them And They Pull Back The Window Shades And Say, “Take A Look”.  Then, You Have An ‘A-Ha Moment’.

Well, In The Same Way, You Might Feel That Yahweh Is Mad At You; But As I Pull Back The Curtains On Some Scriptures, Behold, Take A Look-n-See At Just Some Of The Verses That Proof That Yahweh Is Good, (Exodus 33:19; Psalm 25:8; Psalm 31:19; Psalm 34:8; Psalm 73:1; Psalm 100:5; Psalm 107:1;
Psalm 135:3; Psalm 136:1-26; Psalm 145:9; Jeremiah 33:11; Lamentations 3:25; Nahum 1:7).

Yahweh Says, I Am Not Mad At You, Nor Am I Ashamed Of You.  I Will Not Put Out A Smoking Candle Wick, Even If The Smoke Is Offensive To My Eyes.  I Will Not Break And Disregard A Bent Reed.  You Are Of Great Value To Me~!  You Are Precious In My Eyes~! You Are The Apple Of My Eye~! (Isaiah 54:9; Romans 10:11; Hebrews 2:11 & Hebrews 11:16).  {Enter Here To Read About The Awesome Goodness Of Yahweh Towards Us, It’s Like Getting One Of Those Books That Shows Where The Government Has Money Just Waiting For You To Claim The Benefits}.

We Are Commanded To Take Up Our Cross And To Follow Him And To Forgive Others.  The Disciples Who Saw The Blind Eyes Opened, And The Deaf Hear, And The Lame Walk And Even Saw The Dead Raised And Never Asked For More Faith.  However, The Only Time That The Disciples Asked To Have Their Faith Increased Was When Yahoshua Told Them To Forgive, (Luke 17:4-5).

Matthew 16:24 ~
Then Yahoshua, {Jesus}, Said To His Disciples, “If Any Person Desires To Come After Me, Let Them Deny Themselves, And Take Up Their Cross, And Follow Me”.

“ForGive” Us Our Trespasses As We “ForGive” Those Who Trespass Against Us, (Matthew 6:12).

And Whenever You Stand Praying, If You Have Anything Against Anyone, “ForGive” Them, So That Your Father Who Is In Heaven Will Also Forgive You Your Sins, (Mark 11:25).

For We Are Not Ignorant Of d—Evil One’s Wiles, (Schemes), And Devices; (2 Corinthians 2:11).
d—Evil One’s Plan Is To Get Us Into Strife Ensuring That We Are Not Walking In Love For Love NEVER FAILS, (1 Corinthians 13:8).  The First Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love… Against Such There Is NO LAW,(Galatians 5:22-23).  `Notice The Previous Verse Just Before We Are Told That We Are NOT Ignorant Of d—Evil One Schemes & Plans.

2 Corinthians 2:10-11 ~ ¹⁰ If You Forgive Anyone Anything, I Too Forgive That One; And What I Have Forgiven, If I Have Forgiven Anything, Has Been For Your Sakes In The Presence [And With The Approval] Of Christ (The Messiah), ¹¹ To Keep Satan From Getting The Advantage Over Us; For We Are NOT Ignorant Of His Wiles And Intentions.

³⁴ “A New Commandment I Give To You, That You Love One Another; Even As I Have Loved You, That You Also Love One Another. ³⁵ By This ALL Will Know That You Are My Disciples, If You Have Love For One Another”, (John 13:34-35).

Even As The Father Has Loved Me, I Also Have Loved You.  Remain In My Love, (John 15:9).

If You Keep My Commandments, You Will Remain In My Love; Even As I Have Kept My Father’s Commandments, And Remain In His Love. This Is My Commandment, That You Love One Another, Even As I Have Loved You, (John 15:12).

Should Not You Also Have Had Mercy On Your Fellow Slave, Even As I Had Mercy On You? (Matthew 18:33).

But God, Being Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love With Which He Loved Us, Even As We Were Dead In Sins, He Has Made Us Alive Together With The Christ (By Whose Grace You Are Saved), (Ephesians 2:4-5).

And Be Kind To One Another, TenderHearted, “ForGiving” One Another, Even As God In Christ ForGave You, (Ephesians 4:32).

And Walk In Love, Even As Christ Also Loved You, And Gave Himself Up For Us, An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For An Odor Of A Sweet Smell, (Ephesians 5:2).

“Staying In Love Is Connected To Keeping Your Joy~!”

Mark 4:16-17
Immediately, Some Spring Up With Joy, “And They Have NO Real Root In Themselves, And So They Endure For A Little While; Then When Trouble or Persecution Arises On Account Of The Word, They Immediately Are Offended, (Become Displeased, Indignant, Resentful), And They Stumble And Fall Away”, Compare That To “Being Rooted And Grounded In Love”… {Ephesians 3:17).

If You Take Offense, {Notice, It’s Something You Have To Take, As It Is Not Given To You And Not Automatic.  You Have To Take Offense And An Offense Is Not A Gift From Yahweh For His Blessings Have No Sorrow Associated With Them, (Proverbs 10:22)}; And Become Offended, Then Your Joy Can Be Robbed, And You Are Ineffective~!

To Have The Glory, You Must Have Joy.  And To Have, And Keep The Joy, Then You Cannot Be Offended.  And To Be unOffendable, You Have To Have Faith, And Faith Works By Love, (Galatians 5:6).  You Can’t Have Joy or The Glory If You Do Not Walk In Love~!

If Only We Could Get Some Warning, Like When Someone Is Going To Come Up Behind Us And Hugs Us When We’ve Got A Cup Of Hot Cocoa or Coffee In Our Hands, And It Spills… If Only The Holy Ghost Would Say, “Brace Yourself, Hold On Tight, You’re About To Have To Walk or Live In Love”…

We Must Learn To Abide In Love, (John 15:4-12), Walk In Love, (Ephesians 5:1-2), Talk In Love, (Ephesians 4:15), And Edify One Another In Love, (Ephesians 4:29).  Then When The Pressures Come, We Won’t Have To Stop And Think.  We Will Immediately React In Love.  So, We Have To Abide In Love ALL The Time~!… John 15:17 ~ These Things I Command You, That You Love One Another, (This Wasn’t Just A Suggestion; It Was A Commandment From The Head Of The Church).>/p>

Compassion Is A Deep Yearning That Responds To The Needs Of People.  It’s Much Deeper Than Sympathy. Sympathy Can Just Sit Around Feeling Sorry For People.  “Compassion” Has To Do Something For Them.

Compassion Is What Motivates God, {Yahweh}, And Yahoshua’s, {Jesus’}, Life On Earth Was A Picture Of That Compassion In Action.  His Whole Ministry Was Driven By It.  It Was Compassion That Caused Him To Multiply The Loaves And Fishes, Heal The Sick, Cast Out Demons And Raise The Dead.  It Was Compassion That Compelled Him To Go To The Cross.  And It’s That Same Compassion That He Now Longs To Pour Out Through You, {Copied From Compassion In Action}.  Yahoshua, {Jesus}, Went Out, And He Saw A Great Multitude.  He Had Compassion On Them, And Healed Their Sick. Matthew 14:14.

• Matthew 9:36 ~ He Was Moved With Compassion For Them, Because They Were Weary And Scattered, Like Sheep Having No Shepherd

• Matthew 14:14 ~ He Had Compassion On Them, And Healed Their Sick

• Matthew 15:32 ~ And Yahoshua, (Jesus), Called To Him His Disciples, And Said, I Have Compassion On The Multitude,
       Because They Have Now Continued With Me Three Days And Have Nothing To Eat.
       And I Do Not Want To Send Them Away Hungry, Lest They Faint On The Way

• Matthew 18:27 ~ Being Moved With Compassion, Released Him, And Forgave Him The Debt.

• Matthew 18:33 ~ Should Not You Also Have Had Mercy On Your Fellow Slave, Even As I Had Mercy On You?

• Matthew 20:34 ~ Yahoshua, (Jesus), Being Moved With Compassion, Touched Their Eyes; And Immediately They Received Their Sight

• Mark 1:41-42 ~ Being Moved With Compassion, He Stretched Forth His Hand, And Touched Him, And Said To Him, “I Am Willing; Be Cleansed”.  As Soon As He Had ‘Spoken’, Immediately The Leprosy Left Him, And He Was Cleansed.

• Mark 5:19 ~ Tell Them What Great Things Yahweh Has Done For You, And How He Has Had Compassion On You

• Mark 6:34 ~ Yahoshua, (Jesus), When He Came Out, Saw A Great Multitude And Was Moved With Compassion For Them…

• Mark 8:2 ~ I Have Compassion On The Multitude, Because They Have Now Continued With Me Three Days And Have Nothing To Eat.

• Mark 9:22 ~ “Have Compassion On Us And Help Us

• Luke 7:13-15 ~ Yahoshua, (Jesus), Saw Her, He Had Compassion On Her,
       Then He Came And Touched The Open Coffin, And Those Who Carried Him Stood Still. And He Said, , (Took An Action) ~ “Young Man, “I Say To You”, Arise”.  So He Who Was Dead Sat Up And Began To Speak.

• Luke 10:33 ~ But A Certain Samaritan, As He Traveled, Came Where He Was. When He Saw Him, He Was Moved With Compassion

• Luke 13:12-13 ~ And Having Seen Her, Jesus Called Her Near And Said To Her, “Woman, You Have Been Freed From Your Sickness”.
       “And He Laid The Hands Upon Her, And Immediately She Was Made Straight And Began To Glorify God”.


Bonus:

• Luke 15:20 ~ His Father Saw Him, And Had Compassion On Him, And He Ran And Fell On His Neck And Kissed Him

• Romans 9:15 ~ I Will Have Mercy On Him Whom I Love, And I Will Have Compassion On Him Whom I Favor

• Hebrews 5:2 ~ He Is One Who Can Humble Himself And Have Compassion On Those Who Are Ignorant And Go Astray

• Hebrews 10:34 ~ “For You Had Compassion On Me In My Chains, And Joyfully Accepted The Plundering Of Your Goods, Knowing That You Have A Better And An Enduring Possession For Yourselves In Heaven.

• 1 John 3:17 ~ But Whoever Has The World’s Goods, And Sees His Brother In Need, And Shuts Up His Compassion From Him, How Does The Love Of Yahweh Remain In Him?

• Jude 1:22 ~ And On Some Have Compassion, Making A Distinction.

First Of All, Let Me Say That Some Folks Tend To Get Very Scholarly About The Scriptures And Yet Seem To Miss The Main Point or The Central Theme Of Yahweh And That Is ‘Denying Self’ And Without ‘Dying To Self’ Then This Is A Religion Without A Relationship, (John 5:39-40). With That Being Said, I Think The Thompson Chain Reference Bible Is Very Exhausting; But Sometimes It Seems To Be Like Having A Birthday Party, But Failing To Invite The Guest Of Honor. We Can Have Church Without God, But It Will Have No Power, (2 Timothy 3:5).

… And Yahoshua Died To Self And Said Not My Will, But Your Will Be Done, (Matthew 6:33; Luke 22:42; John 5:30; Luke 6:38; Ephesians 5:25)… Because Christ Also Suffered For Us, Leaving Us An Example, That You Should Follow His Steps, (1 Peter 2:21).

And Walk In Love, As Christ Also Has Loved Us And Given Himself For Us, An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For A Sweet-Smelling Aroma, (Ephesians 5:2).

But, It’s Like Obi-Wan Kenobi In Star Wars, or Like Yahoshua Who Is Our Example, ( John 13:15; 1 Peter 2:21); It Is Only In Laying Down Our Lives, (To See All The Verses About Taking Up Your Cross, Enter Here).

John 13:34-35, (WEB) ³⁴ A New Commandment I Give To You, That You Love One Another, Just Like I Have Loved You; That You Also Love One Another. ³⁵ By This Everyone Will Know That You Are My Disciples, If You Have Love For One Another.

John 14:21, (AMPC) ~ The Person Who Has My Commands And Keeps Them Is The One Who [Really] Loves Me; And Whoever [Really] Loves Me Will Be Loved By My Father, And I [Too] Will Love Him And Will Show (Reveal, Manifest) Myself To Him.  [I Will Let Myself Be Clearly Seen By Him And Make Myself Real To Him].

John 15:12, 17 ~
¹² In This Is My Commandment, That You Love One Another Even As I Have Loved You,
¹⁷ These Things I Command You, That You Love One Another;

Romans 12:10, 16 ~
¹⁰ In Love Of The Sisters And Brothers Be Tenderly Affectionate One To Another; In Honor Preferring One Another …
¹⁶ Work Toward Unity, And Live In Harmony With One Another.  Avoid Thinking You Are Better Than Others or Wiser Than The Rest; Instead, Embrace Common People And Ordinary Tasks, (The Voice Translation).

Philippians 2:3-4 ~
² Fulfill My Joy By Being Like-Minded, Having The Same Love, Being Of One Accord, Of One Mind.
³ Let Nothing Be Done Through Selfish Ambition or Conceit, But In Lowliness Of Mind Let Each Esteem Others Better Than Themselves.
⁴ Let Each Of You Look Out Not Only For His Own Interests, But Also For The Interests Of Others.

Romans 13:8-10 ~
⁸ Owe No One Anything, Except To Love One Another; For He Who Loves His Neighbor Has Fulfilled The Law.
⁹ For The Commandments, “You Shall Not Commit Adultery”, “You Shall Not Murder”, “You Shall Not Steal”, “You Shall Not Covet”, And Whatever Other Commandments There Are, Are All Summed Up In This Saying, Namely, “You Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself”.
¹⁰ Love Doesn’t Harm A Neighbor. Love Therefore Is The Fulfillment Of The Law.

Ephesians 5:25 ~ “Husbands, Love Your Wives, Even As Christ Also Loved The Church, And Gave Himself Up For It”, {And Christ Died For The Church, Laying Down His Life}.

Ephesians 5:33 ~ “Nevertheless Let Each One Of You In Particular So Love His Own Wife As Himself, And Let The Wife See That She Respects And Reverences Her Husband [That She Notices Him, Regards Him, Honors Him, Prefers Him, Venerates, And Esteems Him; And That She Defers To Him, Praises Him, And Loves And Admires Him Exceedingly”.

So, There’s The Winning Formula For A Successful Romance.  Husbands, {And Since It Works For Husbands, Then It Would Apply To Husbands To Be or BoyFriends}, …They Are To Love, Whatever The Problem Is And The Wife’s / Wife To Be / GirlFriend’s Response Is To Respect.  That’s Less Than 100 Words ~ The Answer To ALL Romantic Conflicts or Dilemmas Right There In A NutShell~!

Husbands Love, Wives Respect.  Whatever The Problem, That’s Your Answer.  Lots Of Books Can Be Tossed~!
Husbands, Love Your Wives And Do Not Be Harsh With Them, (AMPC, GNT ~ Colossians 3:19).

At A Lay Renewal, I Interviewed Several Older Widows and Asked Them What Did You Like Best About Your Husband. Over And Over Again, The Answer Came Back. He Made Me Laugh.

So, I Was Having A Dream The Other Night, And I Dreamed That We Should Incorporate This Into The Male’s Part On The Marital Vows.

“I Promise To Love And To Cherish, And To Always Make My Wife And Family Laugh”.  Because Then If It’s Part Of The Vows, Then Yahweh Will Supply The Humor, (Not Corny “Dad Jokes” But Humor From “The Real Father”).

But, In Case You Desire To See More Than The Cliff Notes, {With Supporting Scriptures}, (Ephesians 5:22-33).

How Is Love In Marriage Defined In The Scriptures?  Love Your Wives, Even As Christ Also Loved The Church, And Gave Himself Up For It.  In Other Words, “Die To Self”, {or Dying To Selfish Ambition} … To Die Is Gain, (To See All The Verses About Taking Up Your Cross, Enter Here).

Laying Down His Life, {Time, Ambitions, Agenda, Computer, etc“}, Willing To Give Up Your Life.  Wow~!  The Male’s Part Is Like The Pig And The Chicken Talking About Breakfast.  The Chicken Is Complaining About Having To Lay ALL Those Eggs; However, The Pig Says, But My Contribution To, “Bringing Home The Bacon” Is The Ultimate Sacrifice~!

Here’s A Revelation From Yahweh’s Word That I Gleaned From Keith Moore From His Series, “Seeing Jesus ~ 4”, Pt. 9, (If That Link Is Broken, Then Enter Here To Go To Keith Moore’s Word Supply, Then Search For “Seeing Jesus”, {Search Text Must Be Alphabetic Characters Only, No Numbers}.  Then Find “Seeing Jesus ~ 4, Pt. 9 - My Brother’s Keeper”), or Click On This Link.

When They Came To Take Jesus, And Yahoshua Replied The Second Time, “I Am”, To The Mob Of Folks Coming To Take Him Away And The Entire Mob Fell Down, {Including Judas Who Was On The Other Side With Those Coming To Capture Yahoshua}; Then They Took Yahoshua, (Matthew 26:48-56).

Here Is The Picture Of This Mass Amount Of Soldiers Coming To Take Yahoshua.  When They Arrive, Do They Find The 12 Disciples Shielding Yahoshua And The Mob Asking, Where Is Yahoshua?  No, In Fact, We Normally Think Of Yahoshua To Be Meek And Mild.  He Is Like My Father Who Was A Pastor For 42 Years.  Normally, Dad Was Quiet-Tempered.  But, If You Mess With One Of His Children Then You Have Poked The Bear.  Yahoshua Wasn’t Cowering Behind His Disciples With His Head Peeking Out While They Searched For Him.  Yahoshua Was Literally Out Front Of His Gang Going To The Armed Soldiers.  Wow~!  Talking About Bravery~!  When Yahoshua Said, “No One Takes My Life From Me, I Laid It Down”, He Was Telling The Absolute Truth.  Some Things We Will See So Clearly When We Get To Heaven… But, Why Wait For Then…  Ask For Insight Now.  No One Took Yahoshua’s Life, He Laid It Down.

The Answer Lies In John 10:17-18… “I Lay Down My Life That I May Take It Up Again”.  As I Read This Passage This Time, The Holy Ghost Brought Something To My Attention I Had Never Seen Before, (Hebrews 4:12).  Yahoshua Had To Voluntarily Lay Down His Life So That He Would Legally Be Permitted To Take It Up Again.  If They Had Taken Yahoshua Against His Will, And He Resisted, He Would Not Have Been Able To Take His Life Back Up Again.  This Could Be Alarming.  If Yahoshua Makes Any Move Outside Of Love, He Could Be Forever Trapped In HELL.  No Wonder He Asked The Father, Is There Any Other Way, (Matthew 26:39; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42; John 6:38).  Generally The Three Gospel Accounts Of Matthew, Mark & Luke All Retell The Same Story From Different Perspectives, And Are Sometimes Called The Synoptic Gospels Because Of This Dove-Tailing.  But, Here We See That The Writers Of All Four Gospels Recounted This Plead From Yahoshua, So, It Must Have Made An Impression.

Have You Ever Wondered, Why Yahoshua Activated The Angels With This, “Super-Duper Shock Wave Force Field”, And Have The Attackers Fell Flat On Their Face, And Then Let The Attackers Take Him Anyhow?  What?  Either Go Quietly, or Stand Tall And Fight.  Why Have These Armed Soldiers Fall On Their Face?  Was It Just To Show That He Could, And If So, It Doesn’t Fit The Pattern Of Love Of Yahweh And Yahoshua Only Did What He Saw The Father Do.  That Explanation Reeks Of ‘Pride’, Which Is So Out Of Character For Yahoshua, And Therefore Cannot Be The Reason Why.

However, If Yahoshua Had Just Said, “I Am He, Let Them Go”, Then They Might Not Have Allowed The Disciples To Go Free.  But, When Yahoshua Said The 2^nd Time, “I Told You That I Am He.  So, If You Want Me, Let These Men Go Their Way”, And They Were Knocked Down By The Power Of Yahweh, The Men Were Shaken Up A Bit And May Have Had Doubts That They Could Even Take Yahoshua.  I Guess That They Answered A Little More Gentler When Yahoshua Said The 2^nd Time, “Let These Others Go”.  Yahoshua Showed Us That He Was A Human Being That Spoke With Authority And His Word Was Supported With Demonstration, {Mark 16:20 ~ “Confirming The Word Through The Accompanying Signs”}.  I Am Reminded Of Some Other Scriptures That Say, “And My Message And My Preaching Were Not In Persuasive Words Of Wisdom, But In Demonstration Of The Spirit And Of Power”, (1 Corinthians 4:20); or, “For The Kingdom Of God Does Not Consist In Talk But In Power”, (1 Corinthians 2:4).  Yahoshua Is A Good Shepherd And He Was Acting In Love And Making Sure That His Disciples Were Not Taken, [And Possibilities That They Could Have Remained In Prison The Rest Of Their Lives Had They Gotten Captured, Especially Peter, As Peter Had Drawn His Sword, And Struck The Servant Of The High Priest, {Caiaphas}, And Cut Off His Ear, (Matthew 26:51; Mark 14:47; Luke 22:50; John 18:10).   {Notice That A Disciple Cutting Off The Ear Of A Servant Of The High Priest Is Mentioned In All Four Canonical Gospels}.  The Mob Of Armed Roman Soldiers Comes To Take Yahoshua, And Simon Peter Cuts Off The Ear Of The Servant To The High Priest, {Caiaphas}, …But Is Not Arrested~!  Now, That’s A Miracle~!

The Reason Peter Was Not Arrested Was Because Yahoshua Rectified The Situation By Putting Malchus’ Ear Back On.  If Any Of The Soldiers Were Wondering Is This The Right Man That Others Say Healed Folks, There Was Now Left No Doubt As He Restored The Man’s Ear And Healed Him Right In Front Of Their Eyes~!  Yahoshua Knew How Each Of His Disciples’ Temperament Would React And Knew That They Had Not Prayed To Find Out How To Respond.  But, He Would Need Peter’s Boldness Later On To Spread The Gospel.  Yahweh Needed All Of Them Later On.  Interesting To Note That Only Luke The Physician Recorded The Man’s Ear Being Healed, But Didn’t Mention His Name, (Luke 22:51).  But Both Luke And John Reported That It Was The Right Ear, (Luke 22:50; John 18:10).  And Only John Who Was Concerned With People Noted The Person’s Name, Malchus As Well As Noting Specific Details Like He Was The Servant Of The High Priest and That It Was His Good Buddy And Friend Peter That Did The Cutting.

{This Is Not Scripture, But I Don’t Think Peter Was Trying To Cut Only Malchus’ Ear Off.  I Think Peter Was Aiming To Take Malchus’ Head Off And Malchus Ducked and So Peter Only Got The Ear.  And This Is Conjecture Also, But Since Peter Cut Off Malchus’ Right Ear; Could Peter Have Been Right-Handed With His Knife Sheathed On His Left Hand Side and Moving From Left To Right and Malchus Ducked And Peter Only Cut His Right Ear Off}?

Yahoshua Spoke To Armed Guard Identifying Himself As The Ones That They Sought To Protect His Disciples.  But, This I Can Prove.  And The Very Next Verse In Matthew 26:56 Says, “That The Saying Might Be Fulfilled, Which He Spoke, OF THEM WHICH YOU GAVE ME HAVE I LOST NONE”.  You See Matthew Had Been A Tax Collector, And One Of The Jobs Of Tax Collector Was To Keep Track Of The Debt People Owed.  I Imagine Matthew Kept A Log Of Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Reconciled.  Matthew Was Used To That Way Of Thinking, {Of Reconciling Taxes, An Accounting Term ~ Debt Owed—Debt Paid, or ‘Reconciled’ ~ Today, In Common Everyday Speech, Instead Of Saying ‘Reconciled’, We Would Probably Say, “Paid In Full”}.  So, Matthew More Than The Other Gospel Writers Would Often Say, “This Was Done That It Might Be Fulfilled Which Was Spoken”, or ‘This Was Written That It Might Be Fulfilled’, or ‘It Is Written’, or ‘Have You Not Read’, or ‘Have You Never Read’.  This Gives Us Insight Into Matthew’s Mindset.  He Was Constantly Looking To Cancel Out Some Debt, or A Word Spoken,  (Probably Why Yahweh Told Yahoshua To Choose Him).  Bonus: The Greek Word, “Tetelestai”, Used In John 19:30 Is Translated, “It Is Finished”, (Tetelestai ~ G5055), And Is Another Accounting Term That Also Means, “Paid In Full”}.

Tetelestai Was A Greek Word That Was Used In A Business Context On Ancient Receipts In The New Testament Bible Times,
To Indicate That A Literal Debt Had Been Paid In Full~!
And In A Judicial Context In Court ~ A Particular Sentence Had Been Fully Served~!
And In A Military Context Meaning That A Battle Has Been Won~! Like Triumph And Victory~!

Your Debt Of Sin Is Fully Paid, The Judgment For Your Sin Has Been Fully Served~! And The Spiritual War Against Death, Debt, Sin And Satan Has Been Completely Won~!  In Christ The Work Of Salvation, Healing, Victory, Reconciliation And New Life Is Fully Yours~!  It Is Finished~!

In Fact, If You Only Read The Book Of Matthew, You’ll Just See A Glimpse Of This Encounter As Matthew Does Not Mention Some Other Details As John Had, As Matthew’s Emphasis Seemed To Have Been On Reconciling Things Yahweh Had Said.  This Reminds Me Of The Story Says That Six Blind Men Were Asked To Determine What An Elephant Looked Like By Feeling Different Parts Of The Elephant’s Body. The Blind Man Who Feels A Leg Says The Elephant Is Like A Tree Trunk.  The One Who Feels The Tail Says The Elephant Is Like A Rope; The One Who Feels The Ear Says The Elephant Is Like A Large Leaf And The One Who Feels The Tusk Says The Elephant Is Like A Solid Pipe.  So, This Explains Why There Are Four Different Accounts Of The Same Incidences As We Need All The Different Gospel Writers Perspective To Get A Better Insight As To What Had Occurred.  However, John Must Have Been Inclined As Matthew Was, For He Also Noticed In John 18:9, This Was To Fulfill The Word He Had “Spoken”: “I Have Not Lost One Of Those You Have Given Me”.  It Was Also John That Caught That Yahoshua Set A Condition For His Surrender.  Yahoshua Would Only Go If They Let The Disciples Go, (John 18:8); Proving By Knocking The Armed Soldiers Down By The Power Of Yahweh That He Really Could Do As He Had Said, “Or Do You Think That I Couldn’t Ask My Father, And He Would Even Now Send Me More Than Twelve Legions Of Angels?” So, The Whole Purpose Of Making The Apprehenders Fall Backwards Was So That Yahoshua Could Literally Keep His Disciples From Harm, And He’ll Keep You Also.

What To Me Is Even More Astonishing Than Peter Not Getting Arrested Was Yahoshua Is Tired, And Having Very Little Sleep, Sweating Great Drops Of Blood, And His Very Disciples Could Not Even Stay Awake And Pray With Him.  Then He Is About To UnderGo The Most Tremendous Trial Of His Life, And Yet He Is Able To Still Walk In Love And Have Compassion And Put Malchus’s Ear Back On And Heal It.  Wow~!  Wow~!  Wow~!  Have You Ever Been In A Situation Where You Were Falsely Accused, or Gotten A Ticket For Speeding, When You Weren’t Speeding And Had To Go To Court And Pay A Fine, Even Though You Knew You Were Innocent.  Then Have To Show Love To The Judge Or Worse To The Police Officer That Wrongfully Charged You?  Perhaps, You See Him At The Restaurant And The Holy Ghost Nudges You To Pay For His / Her Meal.  Then, Later On, You Visit The Hospital And You See The Same Police Officer In The Children’s Ward And Discover That Their Young Daughter Is Struggling With Life And Death And That’s Why The Police Officer’s Mind Was Distracted When He, {or She}, Picked The Wrong Vehicle, {Yours}, To Be Speeding When You Were Not Speeding.  And It May Have Cost You $1,500 or More In Court, But Now, You Have An Understanding And A Person Of Understanding Has A Cool Spirit, (Proverbs 17:27) …(I Just Felt Like That Was For Someone).

Also, Here Is What Yahoshua Had Previously Said Before His Capture As Recorded By John, (Another Eye Witness With A Slightly Different Perspective).

John 6:39 ~ That I Should Lose None Of Those He Has Given Me But Should Raise Them Up On The Last Day.

John 10:27-28, (WEB) ~ ²⁷ My Sheep Hear My Voice, And I Know Them, And They Follow Me.
²⁸ I Give Eternal Life To Them.  They Will Never Perish, And No One Will Snatch Them Out Of My Hand.

John 16:2-4
² They Will Put You Out Of The Synagogues. Yes, The Time Comes That Whoever Kills You Will Think That They Offer Service To God.
³ They Will Do These Things Because They Have Not Known The Father, Nor Me.
⁴ But I Have Told You These Things, So That When The Time Comes, You May Remember That I Told You About Them. I Didn’t Tell You These Things From The Beginning, Because I Was With You.

John 17:12 ~ While I Was With Them, I Kept And Preserved Them In Your Name [In The Knowledge And Worship Of You].  Those You Have Given Me I Guarded And Protected, And Not One Of Them Has Perished or Is Lost Except The Son Of Perdition [Judas Iscariot—The One Who Is Now Doomed To Destruction, Destined To Be Lost], That The Scripture Might Be Fulfilled.

John 18:9 ~ That The WORD MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH HE SPOKE, “Of Those Whom You Have Given Me, I Have Lost None”.

Acts 1:16, “Brothers, It Was Necessary That This Scripture Should Be Fulfilled, Which The Holy Ghost Spoke Before By The ‘Mouth’ Of David Concerning Judas, Who Was Guide To Those Who Took Jesus.

Perhaps You Don’t Believe In Name-It ~ Claim-It.  Well King David Certainly Did~!  King David Spoke Prophetically,  (Acts 2:30), When He, “Called Those Things That Were Not As Though They Were”, (Romans 4:17), When He Said This In Psalm 41:9-11.

Psalm 41:9-11
⁹ Yes, My Own Familiar Friend, In Whom I Trusted, Who Ate Bread With Me, Has Lifted Up His Heel Against Me.
¹⁰ But You, Yahweh, Have Mercy On Me, And Raise Me Up, That I May Repay Them.
¹¹ By This I Know That You Delight In Me, Because My Enemy Doesn’t Triumph Over Me, See Also, (1 Corinthians 15:57; 2 Corinthians 2:14).

John 18:4-9, (AMPC) ~ Jesus’ Name Was Actually The Same Name As “Joshua”, But There Was No “J” In The Hebrew Language, So, His Name Was More Than Likely “Yoshua”… And Pronounced “Yahoshua”… (Now You Know Why I Spell It The Way I Do, So You Will Pronounce It Right).  But There Could Easily Have Been More Than One Person Named “Yahoshua”, {“Joshua” To Us}, So When They Said, “Jesus The Nazarene”, This Was Like A First And Last Name Identifier.

⁴ Jesus Therefore, Knowing All The Things That Were Happening To Him, Went Out, And Said To Them, “Who Are You Looking For?”
⁵ They Answered Him, Jesus The Nazarene. Jesus Said To Them, “I Am He”. Judas, Who Was Betraying Him, Was Also Standing With Them.
⁶ When Jesus Said To Them, “I Am He”, They Went Backwards , (Drew Back, Lurched Backward), And Fell To The Ground.
⁷ Then Again He Asked Them, “Whom Are You Seeking?”  And They Said, “Jesus The Nazarene”.
⁸ Jesus Answered, “I Told You That I Am He. So, If You Want Me [If It Is Only I For Whom You Are Looking], Let These Men Go Their Way”.
⁹ Thus What HE HAD SAID Was Fulfilled And Verified, Of Those Whom You Have Given Me, I Have Not Lost Even One.

Psalm 121:5, 7-8, (WEB) ~
⁵ I Am Yahweh Who Is Your Keeper, (Hedge Of Protection, Who Preserves You, Body Guard). Yahweh Is Your Shade On Your Right Hand, [The Side Not Carrying A Shield].
⁶ The Sun Will Not Harm You By Day, Nor The Moon By Night.
⁷ Yahweh Will Keep, {Preserve ~ KJV}, You From ALL Evil.  He Will Keep, {Preserve ~ KJV}, Your Soul, (WEB).
⁸ Yahweh Will Keep Your Going Out And Your Coming In, From This Time Forth, And Forevermore.

These Are Great Promises To Mix Your Faith With Going On A Trip, Yahweh Will Keep Me, Keep My Luggage From Getting Lost, Keep My Reservations…

Isaiah 26:3 ~ You Will Guard Him And Keep Them In Perfect And Constant Peace Whose Mind [Both Its Inclination And Its Character] Is Stayed On You, Because He Commits Himself To You, Leans On You, And Hopes Confidently In You.

Numbers 6:24-26, (WEB) ~
²⁴ ‘Yahweh Bless You, And Keep You.
²⁵ Yahweh Make His Face To Shine On You, And Be Gracious To You.
²⁶ Yahweh Lift Up His Face Toward You, And Give You Peace.

2 Timothy 1:12 ~ For The Which Cause I Also Suffer These Things: Nevertheless I Am Not Ashamed: For I Know Whom I Have Believed, And Am Persuaded That He Is Able To Keep That Which I Have Committed Unto Him Against That Day.

James 4:7 ~ Submit Yourselves Therefore To God. Resist The Devil, And He Will Flee From You.

Luke 13:1-5 ~ If You Don’t Repent And Give Yahweh An Opportunity To Protect You, This Could Happen To You Also.

2 Corinthians 4:4 ~ Satan Is The God Of This World And Unless You Are “Kept By Yahweh”, You Can Be Taking Out Anytime.

Job 1:1-5 ~ The Complete Word Study Dictionary By Dr. Spiros Zodhiates, Says That The Word Used For “Perfect”, ({Strong’s Concordance # OT:5485); Is Defined As: An Adjective Meaning Integrity, Completeness. This Is A Rare, Almost Exclusively Poetic Term Often Translated Perfect But Not Carrying The Sense Of Totally Free From Fault, Does Not Mean “Mistake Free”, {It Has To Do With Your ‘Heart’… For Yahweh’s Eyes Run Back And Forth Throughout The Whole Earth, To Show Himself Strong In The Behalf Of Them Whose Heart Is “Perfect” Toward Him, (2 Chronicles 16:9).  You Can Do A Lot Of Dumb Stuff, But Your Heart Can Be Perfect.  On The Other Hand, You Do Things Exactly Technically Right, But Your Heart May Not Be Right}.

2 Timothy 3:16 ~ “All Scripture Is God-Breathed And Is Useful For Teaching, Rebuking, Correcting And Training In Righteousness”… So, If It’s In The Scriptures, Then It Is Important For Us To Know And If It Is Omitted, {Like Whatever Yahoshua Wrote In The Sand When The Woman Was Caught In Adultery; (John 8:1–11)}, Then It Is Unimportant For Us To Know.  Personally, I Feel Yahoshua Was Probably Just Doodling In The Sand To Buy Time As He Said, “I Do Not Speak Of My Own Authority, But Whatever I Hear The Father Speak”, (John 5:19; John 12:49), To Hear What The Father Was Saying To Reply, And While They Looked Over His Shoulders.

“So That This Man, [Job] Was The Greatest Of All The People Of The East”, (Job 1:3 Is Included In The Scriptures, So This Is An Important Piece Of Information).  d-Evil One Hates A Man or A Woman Of Yahweh, But Much More So, d—Evil One Hates A Rich And Influential Man or Woman Of Yahweh.

It May Be That My Sons & Daughters Have Sinned (Very Significant Fear Walk), (Job 1:5).  d—Evil One’s Plans Are Revealed, “The Thief Comes Only To Steal And Kill And Destroy”, (John 10:10).  d—Evil One Is Trying To Get Job To Destroy Himself~!

“Whatever You Bind On Earth Shall Be Bound In Heaven, And Whatever You Loose On Earth Shall Be Loosed In Heaven”, (Matthew 18:18).  So Much Of The Stuff That We Encounter, WE Have Control Over.

Job 1:6-7 ~ ⁶ Now There Was A Day When The Sons Of God Came To Present Themselves Before Yahweh, And Satan Also Came Among Them. ⁷ Yahweh Said To Satan, “From Where Have You Come?” Satan Answered Yahweh And Said, “From Going To And Fro On The Earth, And From Walking Up And Down On It”.  Compare That To The New Testament, “Your Adversary, The Devil, Walks Around Like A Roaring Lion, Seeking Whom He May Devour”, (1 Peter 5:8).

Job 1:8 ~ ⁸ And Yahweh Said To Satan, “Have You Considered My Servant Job, That There Is None Like Him On The Earth, A Blameless And Upright Man, Who Fears God And Turns Away From Evil?” This Has Been Translated Wrong.  In The Hebrew, It Probably Should Have Read, “Have You Set Your Sight On Job”.  “You Got Your Eye On Job”.  “Have You Got Your Heart On Job?”

Job 1:9-10 ~ ⁹ Then Satan Answered Yahweh And Said, “Does Job Fear God For No Reason?  ¹⁰ Have You Not Put A “Hedge” Around Him And His House And All That He Has, On Every Side?  You Have Blessed The Work Of His Hands, And His Possessions Have Increased In The Land”.

d—Evil One Had Been Checking Out Job Going To And Fro Like A Cat Trying To Find A Way In, But Kept Running Into This Hedge.  d—Evil One Cannot Do What He Wants To Do.  He Couldn’t Get Access, So He’s Trying To Get That Force Removed.  Trying To Build A Case Against Job, To Get Job Judged To Turn The Power Off, So d—Evil One Can Get To Him.  d—Evil One wants The Hedge Taken Down.  Can The “Hedge” Be Removed?  Yes, It Can.

Psalm 80:12-13 ~ ¹² Why Have You Broken Down Her “Hedges”, So That All Who Pass By The Way Pluck Her Fruit?  ¹³ The Boar Out Of The Woods Uproots It, And The Wild Beast Of The Field Devours It.

Psalm 89:40-41 ~ ⁴⁰ You Have Broken Down All His “Hedges”; You Have Brought His Strongholds To Ruin. ⁴¹ All Who Pass By The Way Plunder Him; He Is A Reproach To His Neighbors.

Isaiah 5:5-6 ~ ⁵ And Now, Please Let Me Tell You What I Will Do To My Vineyard: I Will Take Away Its “Hedge”, And It Shall Be Burned; And Break Down Its Wall, And It Shall Be Trampled Down. ⁶ I Will Lay It Waste; It Shall Not Be Pruned or Dug, But There Shall Come Up Briers And Thorns.  I Will Also Command The Clouds That They Rain No Rain On It.

The More We Commit To Him, He Is Able To Keep, (2 Timothy 1:12).  And If We Commit It All To Him, He Is Able To “Keep” It All.

If The Protection Is Removed.  Without The “Hedge”, It’s Easy Pickings.  When You Push Yahweh Away, You Also Push Away His Protection, His Hedge Of Protection.

Even Though Their Real-Life Examples May Be Different Than What We Experience, d—Evil One Is The Same.  The Old Testament May Not Have Been Written About You, But For You.

1 Corinthians 10:6-13 ~ ⁶ Now These Things Became Our Examples, To The Intent That We Should Not Lust After Evil Things As They Also Lusted. ⁷ And Do Not Become Idolaters As Were Some Of Them.  As It Is Written, “The People Sat Down To Eat And Drink, And Rose Up To Play”. ⁸ Nor Let Us Commit Sexual Immorality, As Some Of Them Did, And In One Day Twenty-Three Thousand Fell; ⁹ Nor Let Us Tempt Christ, As Some Of Them Also Tempted, And Were Destroyed By Serpents; ¹⁰ Nor Murmur or Complain, As Some Of Them Also Complained, And Were Destroyed By The Destroyer. ¹¹ Now All These Things Happened To Them As Examples, And They Were Written For Our Admonition, Upon Whom The Ends Of The Ages Have Come. ¹² Therefore Let Him Who Thinks He Stands Take Heed Lest He Fall. ¹³ No Temptation Has Overtaken You Except Such As Is Common To Man; But God Is Faithful, Who Will Not Allow You To Be Tempted Beyond What You Are Able, But With The Temptation Will Also Make The Way Of Escape, That You May Be Able To Bear It.

1 Corinthians 10:9-10 ~ ⁹ Nor Let Us Tempt Christ, As Some Of Them Also Tempted, And Were Destroyed By Serpents; ¹⁰ Nor Murmur or Complain, As Some Of Them Also Complained, And Were Destroyed By The Destroyer.

Complaining, Murmuring, Grumbling, Griping, {All The Same Thing}, Gets You Destroyed~!

What Did Job Do Continually?  “Oh, They Are Having Another Party, It Ain’t No Telling What My Kids Are Doing”, (d—Evil One Was Able To Make A Case Out Of This To Get Access To Job, Because It’s Coupled To Fear).  Fear Is The Opposite Of Faith, And Faith Is Trust.  You Cannot Complain In Faith.  Do Not Murmur Like They Murmured, Because They Got Destroyed.

Job 3:1-13 ~ ¹ After This Job Opened His ‘Mouth’ And Cursed The Day Of His Birth. ² And Job Spoke, And Said: ³ “May The Day Perish On Which I Was Born, And The Night In Which It Was Said, ’A Male Child Is Conceived.’ ⁴ May That Day Be Darkness; May God Above Not Seek It, Nor The Light Shine Upon It. ⁵ May Darkness And The Shadow Of Death Claim It; May A Cloud Settle On It; May The Blackness Of The Day Terrify It. ⁶ As For That Night, May Darkness Seize It; May It Not Rejoice Among The Days Of The Year, May It Not Come Into The Number Of The Months. ⁷ Oh, May That Night Be Barren~!  May No Joyful Shout Come Into It~! ⁸ May Those Curse It Who Curse The Day, Those Who Are Ready To Arouse Leviathan. ⁹ May The Stars Of Its Morning Be Dark; May It Look For Light, But Have None, And Not See The Dawning Of The Day; ¹⁰ Because It Did Not Shut Up The Doors Of My Mother’s Womb, Nor Hide Sorrow From My Eyes. ¹¹ “Why Did I Not Die At Birth?  Why Did I Not Perish When I Came From The Womb?” ¹² Why Did The Knees Receive Me? or Why The Breasts, That I Should Nurse? ¹³ For Now I Would Have Lain Still And Been Quiet, I Would Have Been Asleep; Then I Would Have Been At Rest”.

Is That Murmuring, (It Is).  Is This Positive?  Is This Faith?  No, Job Is Complaining And His “Hedge” Has Been Removed.  Job Is Being Eloquent About Saying, “I Wish I Had Never Been Born”.

They Were Destroyed By The Destroyer, They Murmured, They Grumbled, They Griped, They Complained.  If You Do This Enough And Grumble As A Lifestyle, You Will Forfeit Your Protection And Expose Yourself To An Attack By d—Evil One.

Job 3:20, 23, 25 ~ ²⁰ “Why Is Light Given To Them Who Are In Misery, And Life To The Bitter Of Soul, ²³ Why Is Light Given To A Person Whose Way Is Hidden, And Whom Yahweh Has “Hedged” In? ²⁵ For The Thing I Greatly Feared Has Come Upon Me, And What I Dreaded Has Happened To Me”.

That’s Fear Talking And Working Just Like Faith Does But Bringing About What Was In Job’s Heart And Now Coming Out Of His Mouth.  That’s How Both Fear And Faith Work.

How Did Job’s “Hedge” Get Removed?  Did He Have Anything To Do With It?  Well, We Have New Testament Scripture That Tells Us; Warns Us Do Not “Murmur” As They Did, Because It Caused Them To Get Destroyed By The Destroyer.  Murmuring Is not Innocent, It’s Not A Nothing Thing.  You Can’t Be In Faith About A Thing And Be Grumbling And Complaining And Murmuring About That Thing, And If We Persist In Doing It, We Can Forfeit Our Own Divine Protection.  And Without His Protection, How Long Did It Take For d—Evil One To Come In And Start Wiping Out?  Yahweh Was Not Against Job.  Never Was.

Exodus 23:20-22
²⁰ Behold, I Send An Angel Before You To Keep And Guard You On The Way And To Bring You To The Place I Have Prepared.
²¹ Give Heed To Him, Listen To And Obey His Voice; Be Not Rebellious Before Him or Provoke Him, For He Will Not Pardon Your Transgression; For My Name Is In Him.
²² But If You Will Indeed Listen To And Obey His Voice And All That I Speak, Then I Will Be An Enemy To Your Enemies And An Adversary To Your Adversaries.

The Hedge Is Yahweh’s Garrison Of Angels Surrounding Job And His Property.  It Might Be That It Was Just One Angel Who Is The Guardian, But, If Yahweh Said That “The Hedge” Consisted On Only One Angel, We Probably Would Think That’s Not Enough… But It Only Took One Angel To Wipe Out 185,000 Men~!  2 Kings 19:35: “And That Night, Yahweh’s Angel Went Out, And Struck 185,000 In The Camp Of The Assyrians~!   So, This Was Not A Hedge Of Spiky Holly To Keep The Deer From Eating Its Berries Nor A Barricade Of Rocks Piled High With Thistles On Top.  Naw, Satan Could Easily Navigate Through Physical Stuff.  The Only Force That Could Have Stopped Him Would Be An Angelic Force, or Even One Angel, (Psalm 34:7; Ephesians 6:12; Daniel 10:13).

Fear-Based Murmuring Can Get Your Protection Removed.  If The Wall Can Be Brought Down, It Can Be Brought Back Up.  What Is Yahoshua’s Solution?  To Repent.  Unless, You Should Repent, You Should All Likewise Perish, (Luke 13:3, 5).  There Will Be A Time That You Have To Bite Your Lip.  Evil Influences Are Pushing You To Judge Them, To Talk Bad About The Situation, To Curse Them.  Why?  Because That Is The Only Way d—Evil One Can Get To You~!  If d—Evil One Can’t Get You To Remove Your Hedge, He Can’t Get To You.  Let’s Keep d—Evil One On The Outside Looking In, Wanting To Get In, Trying To Get In.

Doubt Despairs, Complains And Is Sad; But Faith Rejoices, Gives Thanks And Is Glad~!

If We’ll Stay Tight With Yahweh And Close To Him.  If We Can Stay In Faith, And Trust Him And Order Our ‘Mouth’ Aright, (Psalm 50:23), He Can Keep Us.  Not Because We’re So Perfect, Because We Believed What He Said, And We Got A Hold Of Our ‘Mouth’, (Psalm 141:3; Psalm 63:5; Hebrews 13:15).

Though A Thousand Fall At One Side With COVID, And 10,000 On The Other, But It Won’t Come Near Me Nor My Family, (Psalm 91:6-7).

2 Peter 3:9 ~ Yahweh Is Not Slack Concerning His Promise, As Some Count Slackness, But Is Longsuffering Toward Us, Not Willing That Any Should Perish But That All Should Come To Repentance.

Whenever My Wife And I Go Anywhere, We Open The Scriptures To Psalm 121:5-8, And We Read These Scriptures Out Loud Together, {Personalizing It From, “Your” To, “Our”, etc.}. 

Psalm 121:5-8, (WEB) ~
⁵ I Am Yahweh Who Is Our Keeper, (Hedge Of Protection, Who Preserves You, Body Guard). Yahweh Is Our Shade On Our Right Hand.
⁶ The Sun Will Not Harm Us By Day, Nor The Moon By Night.
⁷ Yahweh Will Keep. {Preserve}, Us From ALL Evil.  He Will Keep. {Preserve}, Our Soul, (WEB).
⁸ Yahweh Will Keep Our Going Out And Your Coming In, From This Time Forth, And Forevermore.

²⁰ If A Person Says, “I Love God”, And Hates Their Sister or Brother, They Are A Liar; For They Who Does Not Love Their Sister or Brother Whom They Have Seen, How Can They Love God Whom They Have Not Seen?
²¹ This Commandment We Have From Him, That They Who Love God Should Also Love Their Sister or Brother.

1. IF I [Can] Speak In The Tongues Of Men And [Even] Of Angels, But Have Not Love (That Reasoning, Intentional, Spiritual Devotion Such As Is Inspired By Yahweh’s Love For And In Us), I Am Only A Noisy Gong or A Clanging Cymbal.

2. And If I Have Prophetic Powers (The Gift Of Interpreting The Divine Will And Purpose), And Understand ALL The Secret Truths And Mysteries And Possess ALL Knowledge, And If I Have [Sufficient] Faith So That I Can Remove Mountains, But Have Not Love (Yahweh’s Love In Me) I Am Nothing (A Useless Nobody).

3. Even If I Give ALL That I Have [To The Poor In Providing] Food, And If I Surrender My Body To Be Burned or In Order That I May Glory, But Have Not Love (Yahweh’s Love In Me), I Gain Nothing.

4. Love Endures Long And Is Patient And Kind; Love Never Is Envious Nor Boils Over With Jealousy, Is Not Boastful or Vainglorious, Does Not Display Itself Haughtily.

5. It Is Not Conceited (Arrogant And Inflated With Pride); It Is Not Rude (Unmannerly) And Does Not Act Unbecomingly.  Love (Yahweh’s Love In Us) Does Not Insist On Its Own Rights or Its Own Way, For It Is Not Self-Seeking; It Is Not Touchy or Fretful or Resentful; It Takes No Account Of The Evil Done To It [It Pays No Attention To A Suffered Wrong].

6. It Does Not Rejoice At Injustice And Unrighteousness, But Rejoices When Right And Truth Prevail.

7. Love Bears Up Under Anything And Everything That Comes, Is Ever Ready To Believe The Best Of Every Person, Its Hopes Are Fadeless Under ALL Circumstances, And It Endures Everything [Without Weakening].

8. Love NEVER FAILS [Never Fades Out or Becomes Obsolete or Comes To An End]. As For Prophecy (The Gift Of Interpreting The Divine Will And Purpose), It Will Be Fulfilled And Pass Away; As For Tongues, They Will Be Destroyed And Cease; As For Knowledge, It Will Pass Away [It Will Lose Its Value And Be Superseded By Truth].

13. And Now Abides Faith, Hope, Love, These Three; But The Greatest Of These Is Love~!

Father Teach Me To Love Even When Things Go Wrong.  To Be Patient And Kind.  To Overlook Spiteful Words.  To Rejoice When Another Person Gets Promoted Instead Of Me Or My Family Or Friends.

Teach Me To Talk In Love, To Lay Gossip Quietly Aside And To Take Up Words Of Grace Instead.

Yahweh, Your Word Says That Your Love Is Already Inside Us… That This Love Has Been Shed Abroad In Our Heart, (Romans 5:5).  This Agape Love Is The First Fruits Of The Spirit, (Galatians 5:22-23).

So, Today I Resolve To Remove Every Obstacle That Would Keep The Love Of Yahweh From Flowing Freely Into The Lives Of Others.  I Put Resentments Behind Me, And I Gladly And Cheerfully Forgive ALL Those Who’ve Done Me Wrong, Knowing Also How Great A Pardon I Have Received From Yahweh. “Set A Guard, O Yahweh, Before My ‘Mouth’; Keep Watch At The Door Of My Lips”, (Psalm 141:3).

The Spiritual Gift Of “Helps” Is Only Found In (1 Corinthians 12:28); Therefore, It Is Said That The Exact Meaning Of The “Gift Of Helps” Is Somewhat Obscure.

However, I Have A Different Opinion About The Gift Of “Helps”.  I Think The Gift Of “Helps” Is Helping Someone At The Time They Are In Need And It Might Be Helping Them Change A Flat Tire or Give Them A Jump On Their Battery or Escorting Them To Their Car With An Umbrella When It Is Raining or Helping Them Clean The House Or Mow The Lawn.  So The “Gift Of Helps” Can Be Doing A Lot Of Different Things And The Definition Of “Helps” Couldn’t Just Be Specified To One Subject, So It All Falls Under The Umbrella Called The “Gift Of Helps”.

So, My Point Is This: It May Interrupt Your Plans To Help Them Right Now, But “When Folks Need Help Is When Folks Need Help”, and It Will Probably Require ‘Walking In Love’, (‘Dying To or Denying Self’).

Consider Praying This Prayer Of Faith:

O Yahweh In Heaven, I Commit Myself Today To Develop My Faith In Your Love.  I Commit Myself To Your Word, To Be Pleasing Unto You—To Walk In Love, “Even As” Yahoshua Walked.  I Make The Quality Decision Now To Win Love, Talk In Love, Think In Love And Respond To ALL Things In Love No Matter What Time Or How Inconvenient It Is For Me To Do So.  I Renounce Selfishness In The Name Of Yahoshua.  It Has No Part In Me.  I Am Born Of Love, So I Will Walk In Love.

“Yahweh, Your God, Is Among You, A Mighty One Who Will Save.  He Will Rejoice Over You With Joy.  He Will Calm You In His Love.  He Will Rejoice Over You With Singing~!”

There Is No Fear In Love; But Perfected Love Casts Out Fear: Because Fear Has Torment.  He That Fears Is Not Made Perfect In Love” ~ {1 John 4:16-18}.
