Hey guys...........Leviticus (I don't know!!)
Posted in Bible
|
WE are reading Leviticus as a family, so here we go. IN the passage we read today, we read about how Aaron and his sons were ordained. There were various offerings and sacrifices. We about how he was supposed to do this in Exodus, when Moses was on the mountian. I don't know why God didn't just say, "And he did everything that God commanded him" instead of giving us a play by play. Anyone know what the "long lobe of the liver" is? I would like to hear comment by the way. Enjoy! "...But if I could go on just one Alpha level mission, just one, they'd have to give me a full promotion into the power zire sphere.

Genesis ...... ummmm... we're in the fourties.
Posted in Bible

Sorry, I can't remember where I read today except that it was Genesis and the chapter number was in the forties.... Anyway, we've skipped to Joseph. Joseph was sold by his brothers to some Ishmealites who took him to Egypt to sell as a slave. (nothing like brotherly love huh?) Joseph was sold to Potiphar, and soon was put in charge of everything, cuz he could be trusted. Now, during this time, Joseph didn't have any dreams, or he wizend up and stopped telling people about them. (Joseph got some dreams from God that his brothers and parents would bow down to him.... Like a dork he had to go and tell them all what it meant.... His brothers didn't like him very much in the first place....Stupid.) Anyway, Potifar's wife wanted to get extra friendly with Joseph, but Joseph, being a God fearing dude, was smart enough to say no. So the nasty lady grabs his coat and Joseph runs off. The sneaky wife tells a story that Joseph wanted to get extra friendly with her. Apperently, that's a criminal offence in Egypt. He got sent to jail, but there was a Gold lining to this cloud. Joseph got put in charge of everything in the jail!!!! So, Joseph is making his morning rounds, when he sees the cupbearer and the baker, hugging their knees and rocking back and forth. Joe asks whats wrong, and they blab out these weird dreams., Which turn out to mean that the cupbearer will be pardoned, and the baker's gonna get the short drop and sudden stop, all on the third day from that day. Turns out it was Pharoah's birthday!!! He threw a big party, and just like Joseph said, the cupbearer got pardened, and the baker got hung. Joseph asked the cupbearer to ask Pharoah for a pardon for him, but apperently the cupbearer had bad short term memory. At least he didn't completely forget, cuz the Pharoah had a dream too. No one could figure it out, until the cupbearer told Pharoah about poor Joe down in the dungeon. Turns out, the Pharoah's dreams were bad news. 7 years of awesome harvest (pizza party!) followed by 7 years of famine so bad that the pizza party years would hardly be rembered. But Joseph had it all figured out. he tells Pharoah to find someone wise and in tune with God to save 1/5 of all the abundance in the seven years, then ration it out to the people in the 7 bad years. (for a fee of course) Now, for those who don't quite understand, in the seven good years, you get five pizzas from your pizza tree (now use your imagination here....) But, in the seven bad years, you won't get any. so Joseph's plan was to save one of the five pizzas to use in the bad years, and then you get to use the other five. Back to the story (it's a true story too!) Pharoah told Joseph "You meet the requirements better than anybody!!! To top it all off, I'll make you second in command. The people do what you say, no matter what, unless I say different." Pretty big job huh? But ever since Joseph got into Egypt, God was training him for it. Smart God huh? Courage and Godspeed. legochristian |

Genesis 21-24
Posted in Bible
|
In Genesis 21-24, we see the fufillment of the promises made in earlier chapters. Issac is born, and everyone is happy. That is, until Issac is weaned. Abraham held a big feast on that day, and Sarah saw Ishmael laughing.( I don't know why....) Sarah asks Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away. God says it's all right, so he does. For some reason they go to the desert. Seeing as Abraham only gave them one skin of water, that doesn't sound like a good idea. I mean, water is not readily available in the desert. So they ran out of water, and Hagar sticks the 13 year old kid under a bush, and goes off to cry cuz he's gonna die. But remember 13 years ago when Hagar was in the desert? Yeah, the promise. God rememberd. An angel came and showed them water, and Ishmael grew up in the desert. Meanwhile, in another part of the Holy Land.... Sarah dies of old age. :-( Everybody is sad, and she is buried in a cave Abraham buys for this very purpose from the Hittites. This is the first land owned in the Holy Land by what would become the nation of Isreal. So, years pass, and Issac is now old enough to be married, and he wants a God-fearing wife for his boy. So he takes his cheif servant, and says to him "Put your hand under my thigh." It's true. I think that's how they made promises and vows back then. (Abraham does this at least twice.) Anyway, Abraham made this servant promise that he would go back to the land of Ur and find a wife for Issac, but he couldn't take Issac. Tough job, huh? Abraham was confident that God would help this servant out. That's some faith. So the dude goes out. (there was a good chance his name was Elezar of Damascus, so we'll call him that.) Elezar has a bunch af gifts for this lady that he has no idea how he's gonna find. So he gets to Ur, and sits by the well, cuz drawing water was for the ladies. If you stand by the well at about sunset, you get a good view of the women of the town. Before any came out though, he said a prayer. He asked God to give him a sign. The sign was to be that if he asked for a drink, she would not only give him a drink but water all his camels too. (no, he didn't smoke. The horse like animal with the humps that spits) Now, this was no easy task. He had ten camels, count em, 10, and they could each drink about 10 gallons of water. Also, you had to watch out for that spitting that we talked about, cuz that water is drool fuel. So before he's even done praying, a girl named Rebecca comes out. He asked the million shekel question, "Can I have a drink?" Right on cue, she says " Yes, and I'll water your camels too." So he sits there watching her while she does it (probably making sure she will go through) and when she's done, shoves a bunch of jewlry on her and asked her where he dad's was and who her dad was and if he could stay there. SURPRISE!!! She's Issac's second cousin!! So he goes to her dad's house and introduces himself and tells his story. Rachel's family leaves it up to her. For some reason she was more than willing to go to a forgen country and marry a guy she never met. (Maybe it was the sign from God???) So they go home, and Issac is happy, and Rachel is happy, and Abraham is happy, Everybody is happy.(Wow, lot's of mood swings in these chapters, huh?) What we can learn from the story of Issac and Rachel is that you don't need to worry about who you're gonna marry, cuz God has things all planned out. I'm not saying she'll feed your pet snake for ya, but God knows who will be your other half. Courage and Godspeed. legochristian |

Genesis 13,14,15 and 16
Posted in Bible

Yep, we're back at the beginning. This year we are reading McChenye's together as a family, and I am reading the book of the bible our sermon series at church is on. This month, it is Genesis. In Chapter 13, Lot and Abram are having troubles. There just isn't enough room in that town for the two of them. So, Abram, decides they should split up. Lot thinks it's a good idea, expecally when he gets to pick where to go first. He picks the fertile good land, and Abram gets the desert. God though, commends Abram for letting Lot pick first and not wining or anything when he got the short end of the stick. In 14, we find that the green, fertile valley wasn't the best choice. The two kings in this area wern't exactly popular with the other kings. So, outnumbered two to 1, the other kings run for it, and the 4 other kings who attacked carried off a whole bunch of plunder and hostages, including nephew Lot and his family. Abram hears about this, and gets together the two kings who ran away, and his own little war band of servants who were battle-trained, and went in and Uncle Abram saved Lot and his family. In 15, God makes a promise to Abram, and changes his name to Abraham (sounds a lot better, don't you think?) This promise was that Abraham was going to be made into a huge nation, and that the whole world would be blessed through him. Now in 16, Sarah (changed from Sari) tells something that she's worried about to Abraham. She has no kids, and both she and Abraham are over the hill. Abraham tells this to God, and God says not to worry. Unfortunatly, "Don't Worry" doesn't seem to be in Sarah's vocabulary. She gives Abraham a second wife so that she can have kids through Hagar (Sarah's servant.) So Hagar's gonna have a baby, and she thinks she's pretty high and mighty and doesn't do what Sarah says. So, she blames Abraham, and Abraham tells her to do what she wants with her servant. So Sarah beats Hagar, and she runs away. In the desert, Hagar is met by an angel who tells her to go back and submit to Sarah, and gives a similar promise to Hagar about the kid in her belly, that he will become a great nation. So she goes back and has Ishmeal. Now, I challenge you to find lessons in these passages. Leave a comment with the ones you find! |

TOMORROW IS CHRIST-MAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I've been so erratic about my bible posts, my new years resolution is to do it every day I can get to a computer. Anyway, in 2 Chronicles 29 we hear about Hezikiah. A good king who followed the Lord with all his heart like David did. (we also had several other bad kings before) Hezikiah went in to sanctify the temple of the Lord, because the evil kings I told you about had put unclean things in it, and just to be safe, they sactified the whole temple. You never know if pigs or something had gotten in there. It was an elaborate process. When they had finished, they offered a sin offering for all Israel, and also 100 of each sacrifical item that God said they should use for that sacrifice. Hezikiah wanted to serve the Lord with all his heart, and he did. The priests couldent even skin all the animals by themselves!!!! so some other people purified themselves and helped out. legochristian "People should hold [Liberty] up in front of them every day and say, 'I'm free!...'"

2 Chronicles 26
Posted in Bible

Remember where we left off? Yeah, Joash was king. He was a good king, but then the priest he grew up with died. Then, things went screwy. He wasn't serving God to please God, but to please his priest friend. We need to watch out for that . Then his son became king when he died, and the same thing happened. Godly man for the first part of his reign, then goes to pot in the later years. Then we get to this chapter. Uzziah was king in place of Amaziah, his dad, who had died. (he's the guy who was "like father like son") And he served the Lord, and "as long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success." But then the trouble came, " After Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall" He had gone into the Temple to do what only the priests were supposed to do. The priests there tried to dissuade him, but he got ticked. While he was ranting and raving at the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead. Leprosy is the word used in bible times for many different skin diseases, but the most common thought of usage is where the skin turns white, and gets all bumpy. Fingers, toes, noses, and even hands can fall off because of this disease. It is also very contagious. In Jewish culture, it is considered cerimonially unclean,so the priests rushed him out of the Temple. To tell the truth, he didn't wanna be there anymore anyway, cuz' he knew that it was God punishing him. He had to live in a separate house, and had it for the rest of his life. He wasn't even buried in the tombs of the kings, but in a field near them. An importiant lesson we can learn from this guy is that if we do things God doesn't want us to do, or aren't prepared to do, God will try to warn us. If we don't listen, there can be bad consequences. Think about it. legochristian. |

Okay, pay attention. Remember the king we read about earlier? Well, he had a good long span of years and then he died. Then came his son. He went the wrong way, so all his sons but the youngest were killed. He died when a disease of the bowels made his bowels come out of his body. (eeeeeewwwwww!!!!) His son was Ahaziah. His mom worshipped Baal, and he listened to his mom a lot, so the nation was going to pot. But there was this cool guy named Jehu, who God commisioned to kill the house of Ahab, and get rid of Baal worship, (you can read about him in 2 Kings, I think.) and Ahaziah worshipped Baal, and hung out with Ahab's decendants. So, Jehu finished him off. But they buired him in honor because his grandfather Jehoshaphat was a Godly man. So when the evil witch of a mom learned that he favorite kid was dead, she started to kill off all her grandkids. She missed one. A little baby named Joash. His Aunt took him to the temple to hide him, and in seven years the High Prest got fed up with his evil grandma and decided it was time for Joash to be king. I want you to read how they did it. It's in 2 Chronicles 23:1-21. Read up! 5 more days till CHRIST-mas. legochristian |

In 2 Chronicles 19-20, a king named Jehoshaphat, was jumping. (he was one of the kings who had tried to do good.) He was about to be attacked. So, a prophet told Jehoshaphat that God wanted Jehoshaphat that he needed to look toward God. So, that's what Jehoshaphat did. he went to the temple with all of the nation, and asked God to take care of the advancing armies. God told Jehoshaphat through another prophet that he just needed to suit up for battle, and He would take care of the rest. So, Jehoshaphat did what God said. He and his army got ready, and on their way to where God had said the three armies would meet, (that's right there were two armies trying to attack them) they sang praises to God. While they sang praises, the two armies were ambushed, then, the ambushers turned on each other. Every attacker died. So, when Jehoshaphat got there, there was nothing to do but plunder the bodies. There was so much that it took them three days to cart it all off. Nothing like a big God who loves you to do your fighting for you and leave you with the pleasurable job! legochristian |

Okay, so I had to skip ahead a few days to get caught up. In these chapters, and if we look in the chapters before it, we see that Solomon had died, and his son Rehoboam is now king. Obviously he didn't get the same offer from God, or, he didn't ask for the same thing. Rehoboam is a evil king. The people had been working hard, and Rehoboam told them that he would make them work harder. He turned the people away from the one true God, and turned them toward Idols. SO, God sent the king of Egypt to straighten things out for him. Rehoboam saw him coming, and humbled himself before the Lord, so God truned the king of Egypt away. BUT, Rehoboam didn't try to fix anything. We will have to look toward his son, who became king at the end of the chapter, to do that. Also, a quick note to my readers who AREN'T homeschool blogger users, You can still leave comments on my blog.

I went to men's breakfast today and had a really nice devotion that I thought I would share with you in my own words. Horatio Spafford was a succesfull businessman. He had property in Chicago, and a nice family. But the great Chicago fire destroyed his property. Then, he had a new baby boy, but it died soon after it was born. he was good friends with Dwight L. Moody, and Moody invited him to England to speak with him. They decided to go to Jerusalem as a family as well. Spafford had buisness issues to take care of, so he sent his wife and daughters on ahead of him. About 2 weeks later, he read in the paper that the ship his family was on had crashed into another ship and drowned. The paper did not give any word of survivors. Later, he recieved a telegram from his wife, and it read saved alone. As he traveled across the watery grave of his daughters, he penned the words, When peace like a river attendith my way/when sorrows like sea billows roll/Whatever my lot/Thou hast taught me to say/It is well/It is well with my soul. Spafford had such hope in God that he could truthfully say It is well with my soul. Do we have that trust? Spafford's trust was proven to be right. He set up a permanent residence in Jerusalem with his wife, had another family, and taught people about God in the Holy Land. Do we trust God with everything, so we can say It is well?

In 2 Chronicles 2, Solomon starts to finish David's preparations. He goes and sends a letter to the king of Tyre, asking for gold and precious woods and silver and......Well you get the picture. He also said in that letter things which made me think he was being very humble about it. He was also going to make himself a palace after the temple was finished. But that's another story. The king of Tyre said he would send the items Solomon asked for, and praised him exceedingly. Solomon then took a census of all the aliens (non-Isrealites) in the nation, and put them to work according to their talents. In other things, there is increasing terror attacks in Mumbai India. They just found some explosives in a train station, the terrorists had taken over two hotels filled with hostages( thank goodness we got them out of there, most of the hostages were still alive) and they raided a coffee house. I think we need to pray for the people in Mumbai, we need to pray that the terrorists will stop, that the people who died were right with the Lord, and that the terrorists will get right with the Lord and turn themselves in, and praise God that the explosives were found before they could go off and hurt anyone, and that God would work through the police officers trying to keep the peace.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZhuh? Oh, I must have dozed off. I just got up. In 2 Chronicles 1 the main character in the story of Isreal changes. Solomon, David's son, becomes king. And to thank God for it, he goes and makes a thousand sacrifices in the temple (which was a tent). Then, when he's sleeping after all that, God comes to him in a dream and askes him what he wants. God gave him 1 wish. Solomon thought and asked for wisdom, because he was just made king over a whole nation, "who's people are as numerous as the sand on the seashore". God is happy with this, so he goes and gives Solomon what he didn't ask for too, weath, long life, enemies struck with a plauge, all that jazz. And Solomon is grateful (Hey, who wouldn't?). And that's the end of 2 Chronicles 1. Only 23 more days till CHRISTmas!!!!! legochristian |

In 1 Chronicles 22, David starts to get planning for God's temple, even though God had told him that Solomon would build it. David planned for Solomon because he was "young and inexperienced". Then, before he died, David explained to Solomon. God had told David that he couldn't build His temple because he had been such a good warlord and killed too many people. God told David that Solomon (who's name sounds like peace in Hebrew) would have peace all his reign so he could build the temple. I hope you enjoy this! Also, NEWSFLASH!

After an intense time during which I completely neglected my bible posts (not to mention reading. I'm a bad boy. ), became a poet, got infected with STAR WARS fever, and bawled my head off about Obama, I decided to start to post about the bible again. SO, here is my post about, what else, 1 Chronicles 21. In this passage Satan starts to get busy. Not much bad things had happened to David since he commited adultry. So Satan decides to start being his evil self. So, he gives David the idea to count his fighting men. Now this may seem harmless at first, but think about it. He is putting his trust in his army. Joab, his commanding officer, thinks its a bad idea, as does God. He gives David his choice of punishments, each of them just as bad as the other two. So David chose, and the Lord sent an angel down and struck down many isrealites. David realizes that it was his sin and not the Isrealites and cries out to God, and God stopped the angel. David sacrificed to God on the threshing floor the angel stopped at, and he sacrificed there from then on, cuz he was afraid of the angel.In other news: A guy just set the world record for distance and height flying across the Royal Gore in Colorado in not a hangglider, not a plane, not a parachute, but a JETPACK!!!

Samuel 16

In Samuel 16 God sends Samuel to Bethlehem to annoint the new king, since Saul had been rejected. Samuel kinda freaks out, cuz if the king found out you were gonna pick his replacement, what do you think he'd do??? That's right. (KHHHCKKKKKKKKK) (finger across throat) So Samuel got over his fear when God gave him a cover story: he was going to Rahma to sacrifice to the Lord and on the way he was gonna pick the new king (but he wasn't supposed to tell anyone who questioned him that last part about the king). So he comes to Jessie's house, and God tells him that one of his sons is the new king. So, Samuel has the boys pass in front of him. The first one was tall and handsome. Samuel thought "okay, yea!" God said, "nope. Man looks at the outwardly apperance, God looks at the heart." So 7 kids go by Samuel (whew! Jessie was a busy guy!) and God said no to each one. So Samuel asks Jessie if he has any other kids. Jessie sends for David. David comes in from taking care of the sheep (PEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!! But God didn't care about that!), and he was handsome, didn't have a pale face (thats what "ruddy" means in your bible) and to top it all off, he could play the harp like nobodys business. But wait!!! This was the guy!!!! "A man after GOD'S own heart." So Samuel annionted him and sacrifice in Rahma and went home. But that's not the end of the chapter. Saul had evil spirit problems. So his advisors told him that they would get someone to play the harp for him to calm him down. Saul said Sure!!! But he told them to get someone good. Guess who they got? Yep. 1 Samuel's new main character, David. And the whole situation worked out pretty good. Till............. But that's in the next chapter. Come back tomorrow(hopefully)! |

This is my first bible post since..............well I don't know when. I hope you won't be mad that I am skipping to where I am now. Ruth 3-4 In Ruth chapters 1-2, Naiomi has went to Moab, had her husband die, and married of her sons and had them die, and then moved back to Bethlehem with one widow, (the other was chicken) and the widow (who's name was Ruth) started to glean grain from a distant cousin or something named Boaz. Now in the first place, Boaz liked Ruth, and did favors for her. When Niaomi heard about these favors, she remembered that Boaz was a kinsman-redeemer, which meant that he had the opportunity to marry Naiomi or a younger daughter to carry on his kinsman's name. Well, since Naiomi was old, she told Ruth, her daughter in law (see where I'm going with this?) to go and essentally propose to Boaz. They did marrage differently in ancient Israel. Boaz said that he'd love to marry her, but someone else was first in line. So he sent Ruth back to Naiomi with a bunch of food, and set up a time to see the other kinsman-redeemer. Boaz said that Ebimilech's (that was Naiomi's husband) land was for sale and he could buy it. The other guy said he would. Then Boaz essentally said, "When's the wedding?" and the other guy said that he didn't want any of it anymore and Boaz could have it. Then they sealed the deal with a sandal, and Boaz married Ruth and they had a kid who would have a kid who would have a kid who would have a kid who would be King David. And, about 2000 years later, this person named Mary had a kid named Jesus who gave an awesome gift. Now note here that Ruth was a Moabitess, and wasn't an Israelite, which was why the other kinsman-redeemer didn't want to marry her. (Didn't want to spoil his good name) God shows no partiality. He gives redemption to all, if they will accept it and be true to Him. I have no doubt that I will see Ruth in heaven, as when she came with Naiomi to Bethlehem she renouced the gods of Moab for the one true God, and I bet she was pretty faithful.

So, they asked if they could have their father's inheritance. Moses asked God, and God said that the girls were right. And if it happened again, the inheritance would go to the closest relative. Also in this chapter, God told Moses that He would take him to a mountain, and there he would see the promised land, and then he would die.
