  1.  @alqureshbanuhashim85  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  2.  @ottomanempire3725  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  5.  @abdirahmanabdi9050  You will listen some dogs without teeth will bark and make noise Muhammad the last messenger of allah the black stone. Listen to what Jesus Christ said that he is the first and the last. And now, my sons, listen to me;Yes, happy are those who keep my ways.33  Listen to discipline and become wise,And never neglect it.34  Happy is the man who listens to me By coming early to* my doors day by day,By waiting next to my doorposts;35  For the one finding me will find life, And he receives approval from Jehovah.36  But the one who ignores me harms himself,*And those who hate me love death.”  I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga,*+ the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14  Happy are those who wash their robes, so that they may have authority to go to the trees of life  and that they may gain entrance into the city through its gates.  15  Outside are the dogs* and those who practice spiritism and those who are sexually immoral* and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices lying.’+16  “‘I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to you about these things for the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David and the bright morning star.’”+ This is what Jehovah says,The King of Israel+ and his Repurchaser,+ Jehovah of armies:‘I am the first and I am the last.+There is no God but me.+ 7  Who is there like me?+Let him call out and tell it and prove it to me!+From the time I established the people of long ago,Let them tell both the things to comeAnd what will yet happen.

  6.  @ajsmoth3509  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  8.  @danielaelabed5100  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  9.  @michaelhuerter1921  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  10.  @-wheeling9509  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  11.  Amalia Rodriguez puru  When Aʹbram was 99 years old, Jehovah appeared to Aʹbram and said to him: “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and prove yourself faultless.* 2  I will establish my covenant between me and you,+ and I will multiply you very, very much.”+3  At this Aʹbram fell facedown, and God continued to speak with him, saying: 4  “As for me, look! my covenant is with you,+ and you will certainly become a father of many nations.+ 5  Your name will no longer be Aʹbram;* your name will become Abraham,* for I will make you a father of many nations. 6  I will make you very, very fruitful and will make you become nations, and kings will come from you.+7  “And I will keep my covenant between me and you+ and your offspring* after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring* after you. 8  And I will give to you and to your offspring* after you the land in which you lived as a foreigner+—the entire land of Caʹnaan—for a lasting possession, and I will be their God.”+9  God said further to Abraham: “As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your offspring* after you throughout their generations. 10  This is my covenant between me and you, that you and your offspring* after you will keep: Every male among you must get circumcised.+ 11  You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.+ 12  Throughout your generations, every male among you eight days old must be circumcised,+ anyone who is born in the house and anyone who is not one of your offspring* and who was purchased with money from a foreigner. 13  Every man born in your house and every man purchased with your money must be circumcised,+ and my covenant in your flesh must serve as a lasting covenant. 14  If any uncircumcised male will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin, that person* must be cut off* from his people. He has broken my covenant.”15  Then God said to Abraham: “As for your wife Sarʹai,*+ you must not call her Sarʹai, because Sarah* will become her name. 16  I will bless her and also give you a son by her;+ I will bless her and she will become nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” 17  At this Abraham fell facedown and began to laugh and to say in his heart:+ “Will a man 100 years old have a child born to him, and will Sarah, a woman 90 years old, give birth?”+18  So Abraham said to the true God: “O that Ishʹma·el might live before you!”+ 19  To this God said: “Your wife Sarah will definitely bear you a son, and you must name him Isaac.*+ And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant to his offspring* after him.+ 20  But as regards Ishʹma·el, I have heard you. Look! I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him very, very much. He will produce 12 chieftains, and I will make him become a great nation.+ 21  However, I will establish my covenant with Isaac,+ whom Sarah will bear to you at this appointed time next year.”+22  When God finished speaking with him, he went up from Abraham. 23  Abraham then took Ishʹma·el his son and all the men born in his house and everyone he had purchased with money, every male in the household of Abraham, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins on that very day, just as God had spoken with him.+ 24  Abraham was 99 years old when he had the flesh of his foreskin circumcised.+ 25  And Ishʹma·el his son was 13 years old when he had the flesh of his foreskin circumcised.+ 26  On that very day, Abraham was circumcised and also his son Ishʹma·el. 27  All the men of his household, anyone born in the house and anyone purchased with money from a foreigner, were also circumcised with him.

  12. @David Brower Jehovah continued to speak to Moses, saying: 2  “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘I am Jehovah your God.+ 3  You must not behave as they do in the land of Egypt, where you were dwelling, and you must not do what they do in the land of Caʹnaan, where I am bringing you.+ And you must not walk in their statutes. 4  You should carry out my judicial decisions, and you should keep my statutes and walk in them.+ I am Jehovah your God. 5  You must keep my statutes and my judicial decisions; anyone who does so will live by means of them.+ I am Jehovah.6  “‘No man among you should approach any of his close relatives to have sexual relations.*+ I am Jehovah. 7  You must not have sexual relations with your father, and you must not have sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother, and you must not have sexual relations with her.8  “‘You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife.+ It is exposing your father to shame.*9  “‘You must not have sexual relations with your sister, either the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether she is born in the same household or born outside of it.+10  “‘You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your son or the daughter of your daughter, because they are your own nakedness.11  “‘You must not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, the offspring of your father, because she is your sister.12  “‘You must not have sexual relations with your father’s sister. She is your father’s blood relative.+13  “‘You must not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s blood relative.14  “‘You must not expose your father’s brother to shame* by having sexual relations with his wife. She is your aunt.+15  “‘You must not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law.+ She is your son’s wife, and you must not have relations with her.16  “‘You must not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife,+ because it is exposing your brother to shame.*17  “‘You must not have sexual relations with a woman and her daughter.+ You must not take the daughter of her son and the daughter of her daughter in order to have relations. They are her close relatives; it is an obscene act.*18  “‘You must not take a woman in addition to her sister as a rival wife+ and have sexual relations with her while her sister is alive.19  “‘You must not approach a woman during her menstrual impurity to have sexual relations with her.+20  “‘You must not have sexual intercourse with the wife of your fellow man,* making yourself unclean.+21  “‘You must not allow any of your offspring to be offered* to Moʹlech.+ You must not profane the name of your God in that way.+ I am Jehovah.22  “‘You must not lie down with a male in the same way that you lie down with a woman.+ It is a detestable act.23  “‘A man must not have sexual intercourse with an animal to become unclean by it; nor should a woman offer herself to an animal to have intercourse with it.+ It is a violation of what is natural.24  “‘Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for it is by all these things that the nations that I am driving out from before you have made themselves unclean.+ 25  Therefore, the land is unclean, and I will bring punishment on it for its error, and the land will vomit its inhabitants out.+ 26  But you yourselves must keep my statutes and my judicial decisions,+ and you must not do any of these detestable things, whether a native or a foreigner who is residing among you.+ 27  For all these detestable things were done by the men who lived in the land before you,+ and now the land is unclean. 28  Then the land will not have to vomit you out for defiling it in the same way that it will vomit out the nations that were before you. 29  If anyone does any of these detestable things, all those* doing them must be cut off* from among their people. 30  You must keep your obligation to me by not practicing any of the detestable customs that were carried on before you,+ so that you do not make yourselves unclean by them. I am Jehovah your God.’”

  13.  @defitoash1201  However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.3  Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10  and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah, because from the beginning God selected you for salvation by sanctifying you with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

  15. Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.*+ 2  Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,*+ 3  and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.+ 4  For all of these put in gifts out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”+5  Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,+ 6  he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+ 7  Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”+ 8  He said: “Look out that you are not misled,+ for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.+ 9  Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

  16.  @ArifKhan-dc3md  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  17.  @Smartastic969  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  18.  @ArifKhan-dc3md  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  19.  @ArifKhan-dc3md  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  22. GIVE GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY After this I saw, and look! an opened door in heaven, and the first voice that I heard speaking with me was like a trumpet, saying: “Come up here, and I will show you the things that must take place.” 2  After this I immediately came to be in the power of the spirit, and look! a throne was in its position in heaven, and someone was seated on the throne.+ 3  And the One seated had the appearance of a jasper stone+ and a sardius stone,* and all around the throne was a rainbow like an emerald in appearance.+4  All around the throne were 24 thrones, and on these thrones I saw seated 24 elders+ dressed in white garments, and on their heads golden crowns. 5  From the throne were coming lightning+ and voices and thunders;+ and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, and these mean the seven spirits of God.+ 6  Before the throne was something resembling a glassy sea,+ like crystal.In the midst of the throne* and around the throne were four living creatures+ that were full of eyes in front and behind. 7  The first living creature was like a lion,+ and the second living creature was like a young bull,+ and the third living creature+ had a face like a man’s, and the fourth living creature+ was like a flying eagle.+ 8  As for the four living creatures, each one of them had six wings; they were full of eyes all around and underneath.+ And continuously, day and night, they say: “Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah*+ God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming.”+9  Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to the One seated on the throne, the One who lives forever and ever,+ 10  the 24 elders+ fall down before the One seated on the throne and worship the One who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11  “You are worthy, Jehovah* our God, to receive the glory+ and the honor+ and the power,+ because you created all things,+ and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”

  23. Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  24.  @Patricia11237  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  25. In case a prophet or one who foretells by dreams arises in your midst and gives you a sign or a portent, 2  and the sign or the portent about which he spoke to you comes true while he is saying, ‘Let us walk after other gods, gods that you have not known, and let us serve them,’ 3  you must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer,+ for Jehovah your God is testing you+ to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul.*+ 4  After Jehovah your God you should walk, him you should fear, his commandments you should keep, to his voice you should listen; he is the one you should serve, and to him you should hold fast.+ 5  But that prophet or that dreamer should be put to death,+ because he encouraged rebellion against Jehovah your God—who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery—to turn you from the way in which Jehovah your God has commanded you to walk. And you must remove what is evil from your midst.+6  “If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or your cherished wife or your closest companion* should try to entice you in secrecy, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’+ gods that neither you nor your forefathers have known, 7  from the gods of the peoples all around you, whether near you or those far away from you, from one end of the land to the other end of the land, 8  you must not give in to him or listen to him,+ nor should you show pity or feel compassion or protect him; 9  instead, you should kill him without fail.+ Your hand should be the first to come upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people afterward.+ 10  And you must stone him to death,+ because he has sought to turn you away from Jehovah your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery animals that you may eat:+ the bull, the sheep, the goat, 5  the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the antelope, the wild sheep, and the mountain sheep. 6  You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided into two and that chews the cud. 7  However, you must not eat the following animals that chew the cud or that have split hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not have split hooves. They are unclean for you.+ 8  Also the pig because it has a split hoof but does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat their flesh or touch their carcasses.9  “Of everything that is living in the waters, you may eat these: Anything with fins and scales, you may eat.+ 10  But you must not eat anything that has no fins and scales. It is unclean for you.11  “You may eat any clean bird. 12  But you must not eat these: the eagle, the osprey, the black vulture,+ 13  the red kite, the black kite, every kind of glede, 14  every kind of raven, 15  the ostrich, the owl, the gull, every kind of falcon, 16  the little owl, the long-eared owl, the swan, 17  the pelican, the vulture, the cormorant, 18  the stork, every kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. 19  Every winged swarming creature* also is unclean for you. They should not be eaten. 20  Any clean flying creature you may eat.21  “You must not eat any animal that was found dead.+ You may give it to the foreign resident who is inside your cities,* and he may eat it, or it may be sold to a foreigner. For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God.“You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.+22  “You must without fail give a tenth* of everything your seed produces in the field year by year.+ 23  You will eat the tenth part of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock before Jehovah your God in the place that he chooses to have his name reside,+ so that you may learn to fear Jehovah your God always.+

  27. For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive,+ so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to.+ 22  For the Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son,+ 23  so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.+ 24  Most truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes the One who sent me has everlasting life,+ and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life.

  30.  @haziquesalleh1275  Jesus Christ said in the book of Matthew 24:11that false prophet will come in his name and misled many people. We can see this prophecy in fulfillment in Islam claiming Muhammad to be the last prophet. Jesus Christ promised to his disciples in the book of John 14:16. The Holy Spirit that will be with them forever. After verification, Jesus Christ is talking of the Holy spirit that will be with his followers forever. In the book of Deuteronomy 18:18 Still Mahummad is not mentioned anywhere, rather Yahweh the God of Israel is making a promise to the people of Israel that he will raise a great prophet amount them the Hebrews who will speak to them face to face as his representative. In the book of John 16: 27-28 Jesus Christ identified himself as Gods representative. Is there any sign that Mahummad did to be identified as a prophet? The answer is no. We cannot say great, because prophet he is not. Let the Muslims to show us from the Bible the descendents of Mahummad as the majority of the prophets are Hebrews. Satan never say here I am, he always disguise and say I am the original. Be wise my people. If you are a Muslim, you are worshipping allah the god of qu'ran and his kingdom is in Saudi Arabia called mekka. Christians are worshipping the Yahweh Almighty God of Israel, He appears to his prophets and servants. Islam, religion of peace, Christians in middle east are under Persecution to accept Islam and Muslims are living freely in Christian countries. Proverbs 8: 30-36 Psalm 1:1-5. John 17:3.

  32.  @kittylulu5776  When God was passing declaring His name. Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+ Exodus 34: 6-7. Gods kingdom will crush all other kingdom on earth. In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom+ that will never be destroyed.+ And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people.+ It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms,+ and it alone will stand forever,+  Daniel 2:44

  34.  @ddee206  Now Jerʹi·cho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites; no one was leaving and no one was entering.+2  Jehovah then said to Joshua: “See, I have handed over to you Jerʹi·cho and its king and its mighty warriors.+ 3  All you fighting men should march around the city, going around the city once. That is what you should do for six days. 4  Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark. But on the seventh day, you should march around the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns.+ 5  When the ram’s horn is sounded—as soon as you hear the sound* of the horn—all the people should shout a great war cry. Then the wall of the city will fall down flat,+ and the people must go up, each one straight ahead.”6  So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests together and told them: “Take up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests should carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark of Jehovah.”+ 7  Then he told the people: “Move on and march around the city, and the armed troops+ should go ahead of the Ark of Jehovah.” 8  And just as Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before Jehovah went forward and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah was following them. 9  And the armed troops went ahead of the priests who were blowing the horns, and the rear guard followed the Ark as the horns were blown continuously.10  Now Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not shout nor let your voices be heard. Not a word should come out of your mouths until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then shout.” 11  He had the Ark of Jehovah go around the city, going around it once, after which they returned to the camp and spent the night there.12  The next morning Joshua got up early, and the priests took up the Ark+ of Jehovah, 13  and seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns walked before the Ark of Jehovah, continuously blowing the horns. The armed troops were walking ahead of them while the rear guard was following the Ark of Jehovah as the horns were blown continuously. 14  They marched around the city on the second day once, after which they returned to the camp. That was what they did for six days.+15  On the seventh day they got up early, as soon as the dawn broke, and they marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.+ 16  And on the seventh time, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua told the people: “Shout,+ for Jehovah has given you the city! 17  The city and everything in it is to be devoted to destruction;+ it all belongs to Jehovah. Only Raʹhab+ the prostitute may keep living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers we sent out.+ 18  But keep away from what is devoted to destruction,+ so that you do not desire something devoted to destruction and take it,+ making the camp of Israel something devoted to destruction by bringing disaster* on it.+ 19  But all the silver and the gold and the articles of copper and iron are holy to Jehovah.+ They should go into the treasury of Jehovah.”+20  Then the people shouted when the horns were blown.+ As soon as the people heard the sound of the horn and shouted a great war cry, the wall fell down flat.+ After that the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city. 21  They devoted all that was in the city to destruction by the sword, man and woman, young and old, bull, sheep, and donkey.+22  Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land: “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her.”+ 23  So the young spies went in and brought out Raʹhab, along with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all who belonged to her; yes, they brought out her whole family,+ and they brought them safely to a place outside the camp of Israel.24  Then they burned the city and everything in it with fire. But the silver, the gold, and the articles of copper and iron, they gave to the treasury of Jehovah’s house.+ 25  Only Raʹhab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her were spared by Joshua;+ and she lives in Israel to this day,+ because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent out to spy on Jerʹi·cho.+26  At that time Joshua pronounced this oath:* “Cursed be the man before Jehovah who undertakes to rebuild this city of Jerʹi·cho. At the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest he will put up its doors.”+27  So Jehovah was with Joshua,+ and his fame spread through all the earth.+

As for you witch of Allah, continue beheading and persecuting christians in middle east and make sure you make allahu Akbar 5 time a day to Allah the black stone in Mekkah that cannot speak nor appear. Your end is very soon in the lake of fire. However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ+ and our being gathered together to him,+ we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement*+ or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah*+ is here.3  Let no one lead you astray* in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy+ comes first and the man of lawlessness+ gets revealed, the son of destruction.+ 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship,* so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work,+ but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth+ and bring to nothing by the manifestation+ of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan+ with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders*+ 10  and every unrighteous deception+ for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deluding influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie,+ 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah,* because from the beginning God selected you+ for salvation by sanctifying you+ with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm+ and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught,+ whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us+ and gave everlasting comfort and good hope+ by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm* in every good deed and word.

  40.  @JupiterKnight  https://youtu.be/shH-bhbkkx4 Islam is just a religion for brain entertainment. It has no salvation in it. When you worship allah the black stone in Mecca, you have to praying facing the direction of Mecca where the kingdom of allah is. As you can understand, no descendents of Adam and Eve can bring salvation to mankind because we all Inherited sin from them. So, worshipping mahummad and allah will never take you to everlasting life. Only Jesus Christ have the power and authority to deliver salvation to mankind. 11 . Jesus Christ spoke to the samaritan woman.  She said to him: “Sir, you do not even have a bucket for drawing water, and the well is deep. From what source, then, do you have this living water? 12  You are not greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well and who together with his sons and his cattle drank out of it, are you?” 13  In answer Jesus said to her: “Everyone drinking from this water will get thirsty again. 14  Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all,+ but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life.”+ 15  The woman said to him: “Sir, give me this water, so that I may neither thirst nor keep coming over to this place to draw water.”16  He said to her: “Go, call your husband and come to this place.” 17  The woman replied: “I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her: “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ 18  For you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. This you have said truthfully.” 19  The woman said to him: “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.+ 20  Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”+ 21  Jesus said to her: “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22  You worship what you do not know;+ we worship what we know, because salvation begins with the Jews.+ 23  Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him.+ 24  God is a Spirit,+ and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”+ 25  The woman said to him: “I know that Mes·siʹah is coming, who is called Christ. Whenever that one comes, he will declare all things to us openly.” 26  Jesus said to her: “I am he, the one speaking to you.”

  45.    Brothers and Sisters, you will all agree with me that an angel is a spirit they live both in heaven and on earth. A girl called Mary received a message from an angel called Gabriel that she will become pregnant by the spirit of God Yahweh Almighty and will give birth to child and his name will be Jesus. Luke 1: 26-33 The question is how many women has got pregnant that way on earth? What I want to bring to people's attention is that Jesus Christ was an angel in heaven with God Yahweh or Jehovah Almighty before God put him into the womb of this lady called Mary. Through pregnancy and giving birth is the way God Yahweh Almighty has established and He don't violet it. If you doubt that Jesus Christ existed in heaven before coming on earth, listen to his prayer what he said at John 17:5. Another evidence is when Jesus Christ was baptized a voice came out of the heaven and say, this is my son, the beloved one. Matthew 3:16-17 To how many of His prophet has God Yahweh called beloved one? Thank you Lord Jehovah Almighty.

  47. @ok joy 2  If, then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any spiritual fellowship, if any tender affection and compassion, 2  make my joy full by being of the same mind and having the same love, being completely united, having the one thought in mind. 3  Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others superior to you, 4  as you look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5  Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus,6  who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7  No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human.8  More than that, when he came as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, yes, death on a torture stake.9  For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,10  so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground 11  and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.12  Consequently, my beloved ones, just as you have always obeyed, not only during my presence but now much more readily during my absence, keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13  For God is the one who for the sake of his good pleasure energizes you, giving you both the desire and the power to act. 14  Keep doing all things free from murmuring and arguments, 15  so that you may come to be blameless and innocent, children of God  without a blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you are shining as illuminators in the world, 16  keeping a tight grip on the word of life. Then I may have reason for rejoicing in Christ’s day, knowing that I did not run in vain or work hard in vain. 17  However, even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and the holy service to which your faith has led you, I am glad and I rejoice with all of you. 18  In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.19  Now I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I may be encouraged when I receive news about you. 20  For I have no one else of a disposition like his who will genuinely care for your concerns. 21  For all the others are seeking their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22  But you know the proof he gave of himself, that like a child with a father he slaved with me to advance the good news. 23  Therefore, he is the one I am hoping to send just as soon as I see how things turn out for me. 24  Indeed, I am confident* in the Lord that I myself will also come soon. 25  But for now I consider it necessary to send to you E·paph·ro·diʹtus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your envoy and personal servant for my need, 26  since he is longing to see all of you and is depressed because you heard he had fallen sick. 27  Indeed, he did fall sick nearly to the point of death; but God had mercy on him, in fact, not only on him but also on me, so that I should not have one grief after another. 28  Therefore, I am sending him with the greatest urgency, so that when you see him you may again rejoice and I may also be less anxious. 29  So give him the customary welcome in the Lord with all joy, and keep holding men of that sort dear, 30  because he nearly died on account of the work of Christ, risking his life in order to make up for your not being here to render personal service to me.

  48. Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  50.  @ddee206  commend you because in all things you remember me and you are holding fast the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3  But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ;+ in turn, the head of a woman is the man;+ in turn, the head of the Christ is God.+ 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head shames his head; 5  but every woman who prays or prophesies+ with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head. 6  For if a woman does not cover herself, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, she should be covered.7  For a man should not have his head covered, as he is God’s image+ and glory, but the woman is man’s glory. 8  For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.+ 9  And what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.+ 10  That is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.+11  Besides, in connection with the Lord, neither is woman separate from man nor is man separate from woman. 12  For just as the woman is from the man,+ so also the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.+ 13  Judge for yourselves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14  Does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man, 15  but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her instead of a covering. 16  However, if anyone wants to argue in favor of some other custom, we have no other, nor do the congregations of God.

  51.  @HopeButMiserable  Meanwhile, the boy Samuel was ministering+ to Jehovah before Eʹli, but word from Jehovah had become rare in those days; visions+ were not widespread.2  One day Eʹli was lying down in his usual place, and his eyes had grown dim; he was not able to see.+ 3  The lamp of God+ had not yet been extinguished, and Samuel was lying in the temple*+ of Jehovah, where the Ark of God was. 4  Jehovah then called Samuel. He answered: “Here I am.” 5  He ran to Eʹli and said: “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said: “I did not call. Lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6  Jehovah called once again: “Samuel!” At this Samuel got up and went to Eʹli and said: “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said: “I did not call, my son. Lie down again.” 7  (Now Samuel had not yet come to know Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him.)+ 8  So Jehovah called again, a third time: “Samuel!” At that he got up and went to Eʹli and said: “Here I am, for you called me.”Eʹli then realized that it was Jehovah who was calling the boy. 9  So Eʹli said to Samuel: “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you should say, ‘Speak, Jehovah, for your servant is listening.’” And Samuel went and lay down in his place.10  Jehovah came and stood there, and he called as at the other times: “Samuel, Samuel!” At this Samuel said: “Speak, for your servant is listening.” 11  Jehovah said to Samuel: “Look! I am doing something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears about it tingle.+ 12  On that day I will carry out toward Eʹli all that I said about his house, from start to finish.+ 13  You must tell him that I am bringing a lasting judgment on his house for the error that he has known about,+ for his sons are cursing God,+ but he has not rebuked them.+ 14  That is why I have sworn to the house of Eʹli that the error of the house of Eʹli will never be atoned for by sacrifices or by offerings.”+15  Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of Jehovah’s house. Samuel was afraid to tell Eʹli of the vision. 16  But Eʹli called for Samuel: “Samuel, my son!” At this he said: “Here I am.” 17  He asked: “What message did he speak to you? Please, do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and add to it if you hide from me a single word of all that he said to you.” 18  So Samuel told him everything, and he did not hide anything from him. Eʹli said: “It is Jehovah. Let him do what is good in his eyes.”19  Samuel continued growing up, and Jehovah himself was with him+ and did not let any of all his words go unfulfilled.* 20  All Israel from Dan to Beʹer-sheʹba became aware that Samuel had been confirmed as Jehovah’s prophet. 21  And Jehovah continued to appear in Shiʹloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiʹloh by the word of Jehovah.

  52.  @HopeButMiserable  If you enter into this spiritual Covenant and continue with sins, there is no other covenant to cover your sins and only death will await you in the last days.   For its part, the former covenant used to have legal requirements for sacred service and its holy place+ on earth. 2  For a first tent compartment was constructed, in which were the lampstand+ and the table and the display of the loaves of presentation;*+ and it is called the Holy Place.+ 3  But behind the second curtain+ was the tent compartment called the Most Holy.+ 4  This had a golden censer+ and the ark of the covenant+ completely overlaid with gold,+ in which were the golden jar containing the manna+ and Aaron’s rod that budded+ and the tablets+ of the covenant; 5  and above it were the glorious cherubs overshadowing the propitiatory cover.*+ But now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.6  After these things were constructed this way, the priests enter the first tent compartment regularly to perform the sacred services;+ 7  but the high priest enters alone into the second compartment once a year,+ not without blood,+ which he offers for himself+ and for the sins that the people+ committed in ignorance. 8  Thus the holy spirit makes it clear that the way into the holy place had not yet been revealed while the first tent was standing.+ 9  This tent is an illustration for the present time,+ and according to this arrangement, both gifts and sacrifices are offered.+ However, these are not able to make the conscience of the man doing sacred service perfect.+ 10  They have to do only with foods and drinks and various ceremonial washings.*+ They were legal requirements concerning the body+ and were imposed until the appointed time to set things straight.11  However, when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have already taken place, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12  He entered into the holy place, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood,+ once for all time, and obtained an everlasting deliverance* for us.+ 13  For if the blood of goats and of bulls+ and the ashes of a heifer* sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies for the cleansing of the flesh,+ 14  how much more will the blood of the Christ,+ who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works+ so that we may render sacred service to the living God?+15  That is why he is a mediator of a new covenant,+ in order that because a death has occurred for their release by ransom+ from the transgressions under the former covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.+ 16  For where there is a covenant, the death of the human covenanter needs to be established, 17  because a covenant is valid at death, since it is not in force as long as the human covenanter is living. 18  Consequently, neither was the former covenant put into effect* without blood. 19  For when Moses had spoken every commandment of the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the book* and all the people, 20  saying: “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”+ 21  He likewise sprinkled the tent and all the vessels of the holy service* with the blood.+ 22  Yes, according to the Law nearly all things are cleansed with blood,+ and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place.+23  Therefore, it was necessary for the typical representations+ of the things in the heavens to be cleansed by these means,+ but the heavenly things require far better sacrifices. 24  For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with hands,+ which is a copy of the reality,+ but into heaven itself,+ so that he now appears before* God on our behalf.+ 25  This was not done to offer himself often, as when the high priest enters into the holy place from year to year+ with blood that is not his own. 26  Otherwise, he would have to suffer often from the founding of the world. But now he has manifested himself once for all time at the conclusion of the systems of things* to do away with sin through the sacrifice of himself.+ 27  And just as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this to receive a judgment, 28  so also the Christ was offered once for all time to bear the sins of many;+ and the second time that he appears it will be apart from sin,* and he will be seen by those earnestly looking for him for their salvation.

  53.  @pastthe.expirationdate  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  54.  @parkhyeongjin4145  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?

  55.  @ddee206  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  56.  @pastthe.expirationdate  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  57.  @ddee206  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  62.  @criticiserceaser5601  https://youtu.be/6st_tFj6ouM ☺️Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for him. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad? My son is because we are goats https://youtu.be/uxn0QYtWMts

  64. When Jehovah your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and take possession of,+ he will also clear away populous nations from before you:+ the Hitʹtites, the Girʹga·shites, the Amʹor·ites,+ the Caʹnaan·ites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites,+ seven nations more populous and mightier than you are.+ 2  Jehovah your God will give them over to you, and you will defeat them.+ You should without fail devote them to destruction.+ You must not make any covenant with them nor show them any favor.+ 3  You must not form any marriage alliances* with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons.+ 4  For they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods;+ then Jehovah’s anger will blaze against you, and he will swiftly annihilate you.+5  “Instead, this is what you should do to them: Tear down their altars, break up their sacred pillars,+ cut down their sacred poles,*+ and burn up their graven images.+ 6  For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God, and Jehovah your God has chosen you to become his people, his special property,* out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.+7  “It was not because you were the most numerous of all the peoples that Jehovah showed affection for you and chose you,+ for you were the smallest of all the peoples.+ 8  Rather, it was because of Jehovah’s love for you and because he kept the oath that he had sworn to your forefathers+ that Jehovah brought you out with a mighty hand, to redeem you from the house of slavery,+ from the power* of Pharʹaoh king of Egypt. 9  You well know that Jehovah your God is the true God, the faithful God, keeping his covenant and loyal love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.+ 10  But those who hate him he will repay to their face with destruction.+ He will not be slow to deal with those who hate him; he will repay them to their face. 11  Therefore, take care to keep the commandments and the regulations and the judicial decisions that I am commanding you today, by observing them.12  “If you continue listening to these judicial decisions and you observe them and carry them out, Jehovah your God will keep the covenant and the loyal love about which he swore to your forefathers. 13  He will love you and bless you and multiply you. Yes, he will bless you with many children*+ and with the produce of your soil, your grain, your new wine, your oil,+ the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks, in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give to you.+ 14  You will become the most blessed of all the peoples;+ no man or woman among you will be childless, nor will your livestock be without young.+ 15  Jehovah will take away from you all sickness, and he will not bring upon you any of the terrible diseases that you have known in Egypt.+ Instead, he will bring them upon all those who hate you. 16  You are to destroy* all the peoples whom Jehovah your God gives over to you.+ You* must not feel sorry for them,+ and you must not serve their gods,+ because that would be a snare to you.+

Then God saw that it was good. 13  And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.14  Then God said: “Let there be luminaries*o in the expanse of the heavens to make a division between the day and the night,p and they will serve as signs for seasons and for days and years.q 15  They will serve as luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth.” And it was so. 16  And God went on to make the two great luminaries, the greater luminary for dominating the dayr and the lesser luminary for dominating the night, and also the stars.s 17  Thus God put them in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth 18  and to dominate by day and by night and to make a division between the light and the darkness.t Then God saw that it was good. 19  And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.20  Then God said: “Let the waters swarm with living creatures,* and let flying creatures fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”*u 21  And God created the great sea creatures* and all living creatures* that move and swarm in the waters according to their kinds and every winged flying creature according to its kind.

  73. Jesus Christ said in the book of Matthew 24:11that false prophet will come in his name and misled many people. We can see this prophecy in fulfillment in Islam claiming Muhammad to be the last prophet. Jesus Christ promised to his disciples in the book of John 14:16. The Holy Spirit that will be with them forever. After verification, Jesus Christ is talking of the Holy spirit that will be with his followers forever. In the book of Deuteronomy 18:18 Still Mahummad is not mentioned anywhere, rather Yahweh the God of Israel is making a promise to the people of Israel that he will raise a great prophet amount them the Hebrews who will speak to them face to face as his representative. In the book of John 16: 27-28 Jesus Christ identified himself as Gods representative. Is there any sign that Mahummad did to be identified as a prophet? The answer is no. We cannot say great, because prophet he is not. Let the Muslims to show us from the Bible the descendents of Mahummad as the majority of the prophets are Hebrews. Satan never say here I am, he always disguise and say I am the original. Be wise my people. If you are a Muslim, you are worshipping allah the god of qu'ran and his kingdom is in Saudi Arabia called mekka. Christians are worshipping the Yahweh Almighty God of Israel, He appears to his prophets and servants. Islam, religion of peace, Christians in middle east are under Persecution to accept Islam and Muslims are living freely in Christian countries. Proverbs 8: 30-36 Psalm 1:1-5. John 17:3.

Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites.

You must also make them known to your sons and to your grandsons.+ 10  On the day that you stood before Jehovah your God in Horʹeb, Jehovah said to me, ‘Congregate the people together to me so that I may let them hear my words,+ in order that they may learn to fear me+ all the days that they are alive on the ground and that they may teach their sons.’+11  “So you came near and stood at the base of the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire up to the very heavens;* there was darkness, cloud, and thick gloom.+ 12  And Jehovah began to speak to you out of the fire.+ You heard the sound of words, but you saw no form+—there was only a voice.+ 13  And he declared his covenant to you,+ which he commanded you to observe—the Ten Commandments.*+ Afterward, he wrote them on two tablets of stone.+ 14  At that time Jehovah commanded me to teach you regulations and judicial decisions, which you are to observe in the land you will enter to take possession of.15  “Therefore, watch yourselves closely*—since you did not see any form on the day Jehovah spoke to you in Horʹeb out of the middle of the fire— 16  that you may not act corruptly by making for yourselves any carved image having the form of any symbol, the representation of male or female,+ 17  the representation of any animal on the earth or the representation of any bird that flies in the sky,+ 18  the representation of anything creeping on the ground or the representation of any fish in the waters under the earth.+ 19  And when you raise your eyes to the heavens and see the sun and the moon and the stars—all the army of the heavens—do not get seduced and bow down to them and serve them.+ Jehovah your God has given them to all the peoples under the whole heavens. 20  But you are the ones Jehovah took and brought out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to become the people of his personal possession,*+ as you are today.21  “Jehovah became angry with me because of you,+ and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan or go into the good land that Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance.+ 22  For I am to die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan,+ but you will cross over and take possession of this good land. 23  Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of Jehovah your God that he made with you,+ and do not make for yourselves a carved image, the form of anything forbidden to you by Jehovah your God.+ 24  For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire,+ a God who requires exclusive devotion.+25  “If you become father to sons and grandsons and you have lived a long time in the land and you act ruinously and make a carved image+ of any kind and you do what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah your God so as to offend him,+ 26  I do take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today that you will surely and quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of. You will not last long on it, but you will be utterly annihilated.+ 27  Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples,+ and just a few of you will survive+ among the nations to which Jehovah will have driven you. 28  There you will have to serve gods of wood and stone made by human hands,+ gods that cannot see or hear or eat or smell.29  “If you search for Jehovah your God from there, you will certainly find him,+ if you inquire for him with all your heart and with all your soul.*+ 30  When you are in great distress and all these things have happened to you in later times, then you will return to Jehovah your God and listen to his voice.+ 31  For Jehovah your God is a merciful God.+ He will not desert you or bring you to ruin or forget the covenant that he swore to your forefathers.+32  “Ask, now, about the former days before your time, from the day when God created man on the earth; search from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens. Has anything so great ever happened or has anything like it ever been heard of?+ 33  Have any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire the way you have heard it and kept on living?+ 34  Or has God ever attempted to take for himself a nation out of the midst of another nation along with judgments,* with signs, with miracles,+ with war,+ with a mighty hand,+ with an outstretched arm, and with terrifying deeds,+ as Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? 35  You yourselves have been shown these things so you will know that Jehovah is the true God;+ there is no other besides him.+ 36  He made you hear his voice from the heavens to correct you, and on the earth he made you see his great fire, and his words you heard from out of the fire.+37  “Because he loved your forefathers and has chosen their offspring* after them,+ you were brought out of Egypt in his presence by his great power. 38  From before you he drove away nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today.+ 39  Know, therefore, on this day, and take it to heart that Jehovah is the true God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.+ There is no other.+ 40  You must keep his regulations and his commandments that I am commanding you today, in order that it may go well with you and your sons after you, so that you may long remain in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you.”+41  At that time Moses set apart three cities on the eastern side of the Jordan.+ 42  If any manslayer unintentionally kills his fellow man and he did not previously hate him,+ he must flee to one of these cities and live.+ 43  The cities are Beʹzer+ in the wilderness on the tableland* for the Reuʹben·ites, Raʹmoth+ in Gilʹe·ad for the Gadʹites, and Goʹlan+ in Baʹshan for the Ma·nasʹsites.+44  Now this is the Law+ that Moses set before the people of Israel. 45  These are the reminders, the regulations, and the judicial decisions that Moses gave to the Israelites after they came out of Egypt,+

  81.  @alqureshbanuhashim85  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  82.  @alqureshbanuhashim85  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  87.  @omarwasfat4850  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  96.  @ahmedsarwarovi8497  Who brain watched you Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca, on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for allah. Is there salvation for everlasting life in Islam? No Sir, Islam is for our brain entertainment. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. Chapter 33 number 50 Mahummad own slaves But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad?

  98. Then Moses went up from the desert plains of Moʹab to Mount Neʹbo,+ to the top of Pisʹgah,+ which faces Jerʹi·cho.+ And Jehovah showed him all the land, from Gilʹe·ad to Dan,+ 2  and all Naphʹta·li and the land of Eʹphra·im and Ma·nasʹseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea,*+ 3  and the Negʹeb+ and the District,+ the valley plain of Jerʹi·cho, the city of the palm trees, as far as Zoʹar.+4  Jehovah then said to him: “This is the land about which I have sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring* I will give it.’+ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross over there.”+5  After that Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moʹab just as Jehovah had said.+ 6  He buried him in the valley in the land of Moʹab, opposite Beth-peʹor, and nobody knows where his grave is down to this day.+ 7  Moses was 120 years old at his death.+ His eyes had not grown dim, and his strength had not departed. 8  The people of Israel wept for Moses on the desert plains of Moʹab for 30 days.+ Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.9  Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hand on him;+ and the Israelites began to listen to him, and they did just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.+ 10  But there has never again arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses,+ whom Jehovah knew face-to-face.+ 11  He performed all the signs and the miracles that Jehovah had sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharʹaoh and all his servants and all his land,+ 12  along with the mighty hand and the awesome power that Moses displayed before the eyes of all Israel.+

  99. To quit Islam you do it quietly to avoid being chop off. Qu'ran and Hadith full of words stolen from Hebrew and Aramaic which some can not be translated Qu'ran is collection of scripts and there is no original qu'ran. Awful books. You Muslims say the God of Christianity died. He entered the womb of Mary as a spirit and form a body, at the end of his mission on earth the very spirit exit the body and return where it came from and the body died. Do you have any problem with that? At the end of seven days the word of Jehovah came to me:17  “Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman to the house of Israel;+ and when you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them from me.+ 18  When I say to someone wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him, and you fail to speak in order to warn the wicked one to turn from his wicked course so that he may stay alive,+ he will die for his error because he is wicked,+ but I will ask his blood back from. Ezekiel 3:16-18. You hate Christ, you love death. There is only two ways. If your so-called allah can't appear anywhere to defend what you are saying to people is because it doesn't exist. You are just an illusionists. In the days of prophet Elijah idolaters like you Muslim worshipping Baal, When prophet Elijah called to come together and offer a burn offering to god, and to see which god is alive and responsive, when the god Baal was called, it never answered. So, when Prophet Elijah called Yahweh Almighty he responded without delay and consume the burn offering. The same thing can happen with you Muslim with the so-called allah. It will never respond because it doesn't exist. You can not stand in public to read qu'ran and Hadith and explain to your audience because is so awful, a story with no beginning. To Muslim women, they cut their clitoris in the name of allah the black stone. Tell coward allah to come out of his hiding and speak to Muslims in Mekkah as did Yahweh Almighty to his people Israel. 4:89 They wish that you reject faith, as they have rejected, and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Awliya' from them, till they emigrate in the way of Allah. But if they turn back, take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Awliya' nor helpers from them. Surah 4:89 Muhammad sex his male slaves and the wife of his adopted son, allowed his friends play with his dick. And Abdullah Bin Masoud said :” When I was walking in Makkah I used to see a stone i know,  every time the prophet passed over it I heard the stone saying :” Peace be upon you, Messenger of Allah.” Stupid Muhammad advice Muslim to marry children and Muhammad did not have children because he was a gay. My wife is at home laying children more than a chicken to make allahu Akbar to a pedophile. What is mut'ah? A sin, temporary marriage or pleasure. Surah 9:29. Among the people of the scripture, Jews and Christians, until they pay the jizyah with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. Read surah 9:31 Muslim women should breastfeed children and men. Surah 2:233. Stupid allah don't like black, they are for hell and white people for heaven. If you are God, why did you created black people. Surah 10:94, if you Muslim have any problem ask the people of the book, Jews or Christians The qu'ran and stupid allah don't tell the place Muhammad the pedophile was born. Archaeological evidence has proven that Mekkah in sixth century was a dessert. Mekkah a place to grow donkeys to make allahu Akbar and to go around the world to invade. Qu'ran mentioned Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and Jesus Christ but don't give their cities of birth and the timing. Maybe according to allah and qu'ran they were all hanging on air

  100.  @notevencalm  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  101.  @notevencalm  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  102.  @notevencalm  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  103.  @notevencalm  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  104.  @notevencalm  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  105.  @notevencalm  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

Glorify your son so that your son may glorify you,+ 2  just as you have given him authority over all flesh,*+ so that he may give everlasting life+ to all those whom you have given to him.+ 3  This means everlasting life,+ their coming to know you,* the only true God,+ and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.+ 4  I have glorified you on the earth,+ having finished the work you have given me to do.+ 5  So now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.+

  109.  @notevencalm  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  110.  @notevencalm  Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca, on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for allah. Is there salvation for everlasting life in Islam? No Sir, Islam is for our brain entertainment. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. Chapter 33 number 50 Mahummad own slaves But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad? My son is because we are goats https://youtu.be/shH-bhbkkx4 https://youtu.be/uxn0QYtWMts

  111. This is what Jehovah Almighty said to allah. You were in Eʹden, the garden of God.You were adorned with every precious stone—Ruby, topaz, and jasper; chrysʹo·lite, onyx, and jade; sapphire, turquoise,+ and emerald;And their settings and mountings were made of gold.They were prepared on the day you were created.14  I assigned you as the anointed covering cherub.You were on the holy mountain of God,+ and you walked about among fiery stones.15  You were faultless in your ways from the day you were createdUntil unrighteousness was found in you.+16  Because of your abundant trade,+You became filled with violence, and you began to sin.+So I will cast you out as profane from the mountain of God and destroy you,+O covering cherub, away from the stones of fire.17  Your heart became haughty because of your beauty.+You corrupted your wisdom because of your own glorious splendor.+I will throw you down to the earth.+I will make you a spectacle before kings.18  Because of your great guilt and your dishonest trading, you have profaned your sanctuaries.I will cause a fire to break out in your midst, and it will consume you.+I will reduce you to ashes on the earth before all those looking at you.19  All who knew you among the peoples will stare at you in amazement.+Your end will be sudden and terrible,And you will cease to exist for all time.”’”+20

  112.  @naz.tanzeem5982  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah*+ God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is coming.”+9  Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to the One seated on the throne, the One who lives forever and ever,+ Your dead will live.My corpses* will rise up.+Awake and shout joyfully,You residents in the dust!+For your dew is as the dew of the morning,*And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.*20  Go, my people, enter your inner rooms,And shut your doors behind you.+Hide yourself for a brief momentUntil the wrath* has passed by.+21  For look! Jehovah is coming from his placeTo call the inhabitants of the land to account for their error,And the land will expose her bloodshedAnd will no longer cover over her slain.”

  114.  @naz.tanzeem5982  Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.*+ 2  Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,*+ 3  and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.+ 4  For all of these put in gifts out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”+5  Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,+ 6  he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+ 7  Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”+ 8  He said: “Look out that you are not misled,+ for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.+ 9  Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

To Muslims and those propagandists who spend their time on YouTube writing trash, those reverted Christian now Muslim or those that love the voice of allahu Akbar and saying you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. You Muslim say christians worship three gods in one TRINITY. Let show you Trinity; ONE allah the black stone in Mekkah direction of Islam prayer. TWO allah the moon 🌛 during the RAMADAN we look for it and his symbol on all the mosque. THREE allah it self a god that never appear anywhere. You Muslim say Jesus Christ was a Muslim, when Jesus Christ was on earth why you Muslim didn't come to him and tell him that he is a Muslim. Just only one place in the Bible where Jesus Christ is making allahu Akbar. How can you talk to donkeys that way.

  117.  @naz.tanzeem5982  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  118.  @rupalitales5444  commend you because in all things you remember me and you are holding fast the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3  But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ;+ in turn, the head of a woman is the man;+ in turn, the head of the Christ is God.+ 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head shames his head; 5  but every woman who prays or prophesies+ with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head. 6  For if a woman does not cover herself, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, she should be covered.7  For a man should not have his head covered, as he is God’s image+ and glory, but the woman is man’s glory. 8  For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.+ 9  And what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.+ 10  That is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.+11  Besides, in connection with the Lord, neither is woman separate from man nor is man separate from woman. 12  For just as the woman is from the man,+ so also the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.+ 13  Judge for yourselves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14  Does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man, 15  but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her instead of a covering. 16  However, if anyone wants to argue in favor of some other custom, we have no other, nor do the congregations of God.

  119.  @naz.tanzeem5982  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  120.  @naz.tanzeem5982  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  122.  @naz.tanzeem5982  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  127. When Aʹbram was 99 years old, Jehovah appeared to Aʹbram and said to him: “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and prove yourself faultless.* 2  I will establish my covenant between me and you,+ and I will multiply you very, very much.”+3  At this Aʹbram fell facedown, and God continued to speak with him, saying: 4  “As for me, look! my covenant is with you,+ and you will certainly become a father of many nations.+ 5  Your name will no longer be Aʹbram;* your name will become Abraham,* for I will make you a father of many nations. 6  I will make you very, very fruitful and will make you become nations, and kings will come from you.+7  “And I will keep my covenant between me and you+ and your offspring* after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring* after you. 8  And I will give to you and to your offspring* after you the land in which you lived as a foreigner+—the entire land of Caʹnaan—for a lasting possession, and I will be their God.”+9  God said further to Abraham: “As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your offspring* after you throughout their generations. 10  This is my covenant between me and you, that you and your offspring* after you will keep: Every male among you must get circumcised.+ 11  You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.+ 12  Throughout your generations, every male among you eight days old must be circumcised,+ anyone who is born in the house and anyone who is not one of your offspring* and who was purchased with money from a foreigner. 13  Every man born in your house and every man purchased with your money must be circumcised,+ and my covenant in your flesh must serve as a lasting covenant. 14  If any uncircumcised male will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin, that person* must be cut off* from his people. He has broken my covenant.”15  Then God said to Abraham: “As for your wife Sarʹai,*+ you must not call her Sarʹai, because Sarah* will become her name. 16  I will bless her and also give you a son by her;+ I will bless her and she will become nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” 17  At this Abraham fell facedown and began to laugh and to say in his heart:+ “Will a man 100 years old have a child born to him, and will Sarah, a woman 90 years old, give birth?”+18  So Abraham said to the true God: “O that Ishʹma·el might live before you!”+ 19  To this God said: “Your wife Sarah will definitely bear you a son, and you must name him Isaac.*+ And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant to his offspring* after him.+ 20  But as regards Ishʹma·el, I have heard you. Look! I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him very, very much. He will produce 12 chieftains, and I will make him become a great nation.+ 21  However, I will establish my covenant with Isaac,+ whom Sarah will bear to you at this appointed time next year.”+22  When God finished speaking with him, he went up from Abraham. 23  Abraham then took Ishʹma·el his son and all the men born in his house and everyone he had purchased with money, every male in the household of Abraham, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins on that very day, just as God had spoken with him.+ 24  Abraham was 99 years old when he had the flesh of his foreskin circumcised.+ 25  And Ishʹma·el his son was 13 years old when he had the flesh of his foreskin circumcised.+ 26  On that very day, Abraham was circumcised and also his son Ishʹma·el. 27  All the men of his household, anyone born in the house and anyone purchased with money from a foreigner, were also circumcised with him.

  128. As soon as David was settled in his own house,* he said to Nathan+ the prophet: “Here I am living in a house of cedars+ while the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is under tent cloths.”+ 2  Nathan replied to David: “Do whatever is in your heart, for the true God is with you.”3  On that very night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying: 4  “Go and say to my servant David, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “You are not the one who will build the house for me to dwell in.+ 5  For I have not dwelled in a house from the day I brought Israel out to this day, but I continued going from tent to tent and from one tabernacle to another.*+ 6  During all the time that I went with all Israel, did I ever say one word to any of the judges of Israel whom I appointed to shepherd my people, saying, ‘Why did you not build a house of cedars for me?’”’7  “Now say this to my servant David, ‘This is what Jehovah of armies says: “I took you from the pastures, from following the flock, to become a leader over my people Israel.+ 8  And I will be with you wherever you go,+ and I will do away with* all your enemies from before you;+ and I will make a name for you like the name of the great men of the earth.+ 9  I will appoint a place for my people Israel and settle them, and they will live there and not be disturbed anymore; and wicked men will not oppress them* again as they did in the past,+ 10  from the day that I appointed judges over my people Israel.+ And I will subdue all your enemies.+ Moreover, I tell you, ‘Jehovah will build a house* for you.’11  “‘“When your days come to an end and you go to be with your forefathers, I will raise up your offspring* after you, one of your sons,+ and I will firmly establish his kingship.+ 12  He is the one who will build a house for me,+ and I will firmly establish his throne forever.+ 13  I will become his father, and he will become my son.+ I will not remove my loyal love from him+ the way I removed it from the one who was prior to you.+ 14  I will cause him to stand in my house and in my kingship forever,+ and his throne will last forever.”’”+15  Nathan told David all these words and this entire vision.16  At that King David came in and sat down before Jehovah and said: “Who am I, O Jehovah God? And what is my house that you have brought me this far?+ 17  As if this were not enough, O God, you also speak about the house of your servant down to a distant future time,+ and you have looked on me as if I were a man who should be further exalted,* O Jehovah God. 18  What more can your servant David say to you about the honor given me when you know your servant so well?+ 19  O Jehovah, for the sake of your servant and in agreement with your heart* you have done all these great things by revealing your greatness.+ 20  O Jehovah, there is no one like you,+ and there is no God except you;+ everything we have heard with our ears confirms this. 21  And what other nation on earth is like your people Israel?+ The true God went and redeemed them as his people.+ You made a name for yourself by your great and awe-inspiring deeds,+ driving out nations from before your people,+ whom you redeemed from Egypt. 22  You made your people Israel your own people for all time;+ and you, O Jehovah, became their God.+ 23  Now, O Jehovah, may the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house prove faithful for all time, and may you do just as you have promised.+ 24  May your name endure* and be exalted+ forever, so that people may say, ‘Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, is God to Israel,’ and may the house of your servant David be firmly established before you.+ 25  For you, my God, have revealed to your servant your purpose to build him a house.* That is why your servant has the confidence to offer this prayer to you. 26  And now, O Jehovah, you are the true God, and you have promised these good things concerning your servant. 27  So may it please you to bless the house of your servant, and may it continue forever before you, for you, O Jehovah, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

  129. And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘You have said: “Our revolts and our sins weigh heavily upon us, causing us to waste away;+ so how will we keep living?”’+ 11  Tell them, ‘“As surely as I am alive,” declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked,+ but rather that someone wicked changes his way+ and keeps living.+ Turn back, turn back from your bad ways,+ for why should you die, O house of Israel?”’+12  “And you, son of man, tell the sons of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he revolts;+ nor will the wickedness of the wicked man make him stumble when he turns away from his wickedness;+ nor will anyone righteous be able to keep living because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.+ 13  When I say to the righteous one: “You will surely keep living,” and he trusts in his own righteousness and does what is wrong,*+ none of his righteous acts will be remembered, but he will die for the wrong that he has done.+14  “‘And when I say to the wicked one: “You will surely die,” and he turns away from his sin and does what is just and righteous,+ 15  and the wicked one returns what was taken in pledge+ and pays back what was taken by robbery,+ and he walks in the statutes of life by not doing what is wrong, he will surely keep living.+ He will not die. 16  None of the sins he committed will be held* against him.+ For doing what is just and righteous, he will surely keep living.’+

  130. 4  As soon as the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, Jehovah said to Joshua: 2  “Take 12 men from the people, one man from each tribe, 3  and give them this command: ‘Take up 12 stones from the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood still, and carry them over with you and set them down in the place where you will spend the night.’”4  So Joshua called the 12 men whom he had appointed from the Israelites, one man from each tribe, 5  and Joshua said to them: “Pass ahead of the Ark of Jehovah your God to the middle of the Jordan, and each of you should lift up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6  to serve as a sign among you. If your children* should later ask you, ‘Why do you have these stones?’  7  you must tell them: ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were halted from before the ark of Jehovah’s covenant. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were halted. These stones will serve as a lasting memorial* to the people of Israel.’”f8  So the Israelites did just as Joshua had commanded. They took up 12 stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as Jehovah had instructed Joshua, to correspond to the number of the tribes of the Israelites. They took them over to the place where they would spend the night and set them down there.9  Joshua also set up 12 stones in the middle of the Jordan at the place where the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood,g and the stones are there to this day.10  The priests carrying the Ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything that Jehovah had ordered Joshua to tell the people to do was completed, in harmony with all that Moses had commanded Joshua. All the while, the people hurried across. 11  As soon as all the people had finished crossing over, the Ark of Jehovah and the priests crossed over in the sight of the people. 12  And the Reuʹben·ites, the Gadʹites, and the half tribe of Ma·nasʹseh crossed over in battle formation ahead of the other Israelites, just as Moses had instructed them.j 13  About 40,000 soldiers armed for battle crossed over before Jehovah onto the desert plains of Jerʹi·cho.14  On that day Jehovah exalted Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, and they deeply respected* him all the days of his life, just as they had deeply respected Moses.l15  Then Jehovah said to Joshua: 16  “Command the priests carrying the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.” 17  So Joshua commanded the priests: “Come up out of the Jordan.” 18  When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came up from the middle of the Jordan and the soles of the feet of the priests stepped onto dry ground, the waters of the Jordan resumed their course and overflowed the banks as before.19  The people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped at Gilʹgal on the eastern border of Jerʹi·cho.20  As for the 12 stones that they had taken out of the Jordan, Joshua set these up at Gilʹgal.q 21  Then he said to the Israelites: “In the future when your children ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones mean?’r 22  you must explain to your children: ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry land 23  when Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before them until they had crossed it, just as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we crossed it. 24  He did this so that all the peoples of the earth may know how mighty Jehovah’s hand is and so that you may always fear Jehovah your God.’”

  131.  @hashemdhaher300  I commend you because in all things you remember me and you are holding fast the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3  But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ;+ in turn, the head of a woman is the man;+ in turn, the head of the Christ is God.+ 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head shames his head; 5  but every woman who prays or prophesies+ with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head. 6  For if a woman does not cover herself, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, she should be covered.7  For a man should not have his head covered, as he is God’s image+ and glory, but the woman is man’s glory. 8  For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.+ 9  And what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.+ 10  That is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.+11  Besides, in connection with the Lord, neither is woman separate from man nor is man separate from woman. 12  For just as the woman is from the man,+ so also the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.+ 13  Judge for yourselves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14  Does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man, 15  but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her?

  134.  @mohammadfarid4084  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  135.  @cowboytanaka6675  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  136.  @bunns4112  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  137.  @mohammadfarid4084  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  138.  @bunns4112  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  141.  @bunns4112  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

Read the book yourself and see what is in. We know what unfaithful angels has done to mankind destiny's. When this madness started, people wasn't believing him, so he travels to Medina and lunch war. You accept it or you are dead. Many Jews and Christians were slaughtered because they refused and remain in their faith in Christ Jesus for salvation. Look at what we see with this story of allah and his apostle or disciple or prophet. If you can not make a difference between apostle and prophet, what story are you telling people? When you write a book and forget to put your name in, there is no conversation between you and God. Many people has become brain damaged and terrorists because of story that doesn't fit anywhere. There is only one qu'ran ok, bring it out, but you are unable. You render some of your followers into letter boxes in our society which you are not welcome.

  144.  @BibliayFe  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  145.  @kimhanbulur1372  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  150.  @BibliayFe  Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.*+ 2  Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,*+ 3  and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.+ 4  For all of these put in gifts out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”+5  Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,+ 6  he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+ 7  Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”+ 8  He said: “Look out that you are not misled,+ for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.+ 9  Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

  151.  @kimhanbulur1372  To Muslims and those propagandists who spend their time on YouTube writing trash, those reverted Christian now Muslim or those that love the voice of allahu Akbar and saying you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. You Muslim say christians worship three gods in one TRINITY. Let show you Trinity; ONE allah the black stone in Mekkah direction of Islam prayer. TWO allah the moon 🌛 during the RAMADAN we look for it and his symbol on all the mosque. THREE allah it self a god that never appear anywhere. You Muslim say Jesus Christ was a Muslim, when Jesus Christ was on earth why you Muslim didn't come to him and tell him that he is a Muslim. Just only one place in the Bible where Jesus Christ is making allahu Akbar. How can you talk to donkeys that way.

  153.  @kimhanbulur1372  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  154.  @kimhanbulur1372  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  155.  @kimhanbulur1372  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  156.  @kimhanbulur1372  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  157.  @kimhanbulur1372  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  161.  @yuzaucks  However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.3  Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10  and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah, because from the beginning God selected you for salvation by sanctifying you with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

  162.  @Dylan-bj4fx  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  163.  @Dylan-bj4fx  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  164. Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  174.  @vernicyy9280  Now Jerʹi·cho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites; no one was leaving and no one was entering.+2  Jehovah then said to Joshua: “See, I have handed over to you Jerʹi·cho and its king and its mighty warriors.+ 3  All you fighting men should march around the city, going around the city once. That is what you should do for six days. 4  Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark. But on the seventh day, you should march around the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns.+ 5  When the ram’s horn is sounded—as soon as you hear the sound* of the horn—all the people should shout a great war cry. Then the wall of the city will fall down flat,+ and the people must go up, each one straight ahead.”6  So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests together and told them: “Take up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests should carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark of Jehovah.”+ 7  Then he told the people: “Move on and march around the city, and the armed troops+ should go ahead of the Ark of Jehovah.” 8  And just as Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before Jehovah went forward and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah was following them. 9  And the armed troops went ahead of the priests who were blowing the horns, and the rear guard followed the Ark as the horns were blown continuously.10  Now Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not shout nor let your voices be heard. Not a word should come out of your mouths until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then shout.” 11  He had the Ark of Jehovah go around the city, going around it once, after which they returned to the camp and spent the night there.12  The next morning Joshua got up early, and the priests took up the Ark+ of Jehovah, 13  and seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns walked before the Ark of Jehovah, continuously blowing the horns. The armed troops were walking ahead of them while the rear guard was following the Ark of Jehovah as the horns were blown continuously. 14  They marched around the city on the second day once, after which they returned to the camp. That was what they did for six days.+15  On the seventh day they got up early, as soon as the dawn broke, and they marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.+ 16  And on the seventh time, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua told the people: “Shout,+ for Jehovah has given you the city! 17  The city and everything in it is to be devoted to destruction;+ it all belongs to Jehovah. Only Raʹhab+ the prostitute may keep living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers we sent out.+ 18  But keep away from what is devoted to destruction,+ so that you do not desire something devoted to destruction and take it,+ making the camp of Israel something devoted to destruction by bringing disaster* on it.+ 19  But all the silver and the gold and the articles of copper and iron are holy to Jehovah.+ They should go into the treasury of Jehovah.”+20  Then the people shouted when the horns were blown.+ As soon as the people heard the sound of the horn and shouted a great war cry, the wall fell down flat.+ After that the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city. 21  They devoted all that was in the city to destruction by the sword, man and woman, young and old, bull, sheep, and donkey.+22  Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land: “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her.”+ 23  So the young spies went in and brought out Raʹhab, along with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all who belonged to her; yes, they brought out her whole family,+ and they brought them safely to a place outside the camp of Israel.24  Then they burned the city and everything in it with fire. But the silver, the gold, and the articles of copper and iron, they gave to the treasury of Jehovah’s house.+ 25  Only Raʹhab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her were spared by Joshua;+ and she lives in Israel to this day,+ because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent out to spy on Jerʹi·cho.+26  At that time Joshua pronounced this oath:* “Cursed be the man before Jehovah who undertakes to rebuild this city of Jerʹi·cho. At the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest he will put up its doors.”+27  So Jehovah was with Joshua,+ and his fame spread through all the earth.+

  175.  @AlkahestHD  2  If, then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any spiritual fellowship, if any tender affection and compassion, 2  make my joy full by being of the same mind and having the same love, being completely united, having the one thought in mind. 3  Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others superior to you, 4  as you look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5  Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus,6  who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7  No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and became human.8  More than that, when he came as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, yes, death on a torture stake.9  For this very reason, God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name,10  so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend—of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground 11  and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.12  Consequently, my beloved ones, just as you have always obeyed, not only during my presence but now much more readily during my absence, keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13  For God is the one who for the sake of his good pleasure energizes you, giving you both the desire and the power to act. 14  Keep doing all things free from murmuring and arguments, 15  so that you may come to be blameless and innocent, children of God  without a blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you are shining as illuminators in the world, 16  keeping a tight grip on the word of life. Then I may have reason for rejoicing in Christ’s day, knowing that I did not run in vain or work hard in vain. 17  However, even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and the holy service to which your faith has led you, I am glad and I rejoice with all of you. 18  In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.19  Now I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I may be encouraged when I receive news about you. 20  For I have no one else of a disposition like his who will genuinely care for your concerns. 21  For all the others are seeking their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22  But you know the proof he gave of himself, that like a child with a father he slaved with me to advance the good news. 23  Therefore, he is the one I am hoping to send just as soon as I see how things turn out for me. 24  Indeed, I am confident* in the Lord that I myself will also come soon. 25  But for now I consider it necessary to send to you E·paph·ro·diʹtus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your envoy and personal servant for my need, 26  since he is longing to see all of you and is depressed because you heard he had fallen sick. 27  Indeed, he did fall sick nearly to the point of death; but God had mercy on him, in fact, not only on him but also on me, so that I should not have one grief after another. 28  Therefore, I am sending him with the greatest urgency, so that when you see him you may again rejoice and I may also be less anxious. 29  So give him the customary welcome in the Lord with all joy, and keep holding men of that sort dear, 30  because he nearly died on account of the work of Christ, risking his life in order to make up for your not being here to render personal service to me.

  176.  @mywhirlwind  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  177.  @lilygrace9071  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  178.  @mywhirlwind  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?

  179.  @mywhirlwind  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  180.  @goodboi4007  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  182.  @goodboi4007  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  183.  @goodboi4007  https://youtu.be/6st_tFj6ouM ☺️Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for him. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad? My son is because we are goats https://youtu.be/uxn0QYtWMts

  184. This is how things will be in the paradise, because the paradise is coming to you not you going to paradise. I have let myself be searched for by those who did not ask for me;I have let myself be found by those who did not look for me.+I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’ to a nation that was not calling on my name.+ 2  I have spread out my hands all day long to a stubborn people,+To those walking in the way that is not good,+Following their own thoughts;+ 3  A people who constantly offend me to my face,+Sacrificing in gardens+ and making sacrificial smoke on bricks. 4  They sit among graves,+And they pass the night in hidden places,*Eating the flesh of pigs,+And the broth of foul* things is in their vessels.+ 5  They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not approach me,For I am holier than you.’*These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire burning all day long. 6  Look! It is written before me;I will not stand still,But I will repay them,+I will repay them in full measure* 7  For their errors and for the errors of their forefathers as well,”+ says Jehovah.“Because they have made sacrificial smoke on the mountainsAnd have reproached me on the hills,+I will first measure out their wages in full.”* 8  This is what Jehovah says:“Just as when new wine is found in a cluster of grapesAnd someone says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is some good* in it,’So I will do for the sake of my servants;I will not destroy them all.+ 9  I will bring out of Jacob an offspring*And out of Judah the one to inherit my mountains;+My chosen ones will take possession of it,And my servants will reside there.+10  Sharʹon+ will become a pasture for sheepAnd the Valley* of Aʹchor+ a resting-place for cattle,For my people who search for me.11  But you are among those forsaking Jehovah,+Those forgetting my holy mountain,+Those setting a table for the god of Good Luck,And those filling up cups of mixed wine for the god of Destiny.12  So I will destine you for the sword,+And all of you will bow down to be slaughtered,+Because I called, but you did not answer,I spoke, but you did not listen;+You kept doing what was bad in my eyes,And you chose what displeased me.”+13  Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says:“Look! My servants will eat, but you will go hungry.+Look! My servants will drink,+ but you will go thirsty.Look! My servants will rejoice,+ but you will suffer shame.+14  Look! My servants will shout joyfully because of the good condition of the heart,But you will cry out because of the pain of heartAnd you will wail because of a broken spirit.15  You will leave behind a name that my chosen ones will use as a curse,And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put each of you to death,But his own servants he will call by another name;+16  So that anyone who seeks a blessing for himself in the earthWill be blessed by the God of truth,*And anyone who swears an oath in the earthWill swear by the God of truth.*+For the former distresses* will be forgotten;They will be concealed from my eyes.+17  For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth;+And the former things will not be called to mind,*Nor will they come up into the heart.+18  So exult and be joyful forever in what I am creating.For look! I am creating Jerusalem a cause for joyAnd her people a cause for exultation.+19  And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exult in my people;+No more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or a cry of distress.”+20  “No more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days,Nor an old man who fails to live out his days.For anyone who dies at a hundred will be considered a mere boy,And the sinner will be cursed, even though he is a hundred years of age.*21  They will build houses and live in them,+And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.+22  They will not build for someone else to inhabit,Nor will they plant for others to eat.For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,+And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.23  They will not toil* for nothing,*+Nor will they bear children for distress,Because they are the offspring* made up of those blessed by Jehovah,+And their descendants with them.+24  Even before they call out, I will answer;While they are yet speaking, I will hear.25  The wolf and the lamb will feed together,The lion will eat straw just like the bull,+And the serpent’s food will be dust.They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,”+ says Jehovah.

  189.  @LogicStandsBeforeGod  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

Prophet Muhammad allowed women to breastfeed adult men, Hazrat Aisha used the same ruling so that she did not have to observe Purdah while meeting men It was narrated that 'Aishah said: “Sahlah bint Suhail came to the Prophet and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I see signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhaifah when Salim enters upon me.” The Prophet said: “Breastfeed him.” She said: “How can I breastfeed him when he is a grown man? The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: “I know that he is a grown man.” So she did that, then she came to the Prophet and said: “I have never seen any signs of displeasure on the face of Abu Hudhayfah after that.” And he was present at (the battle of) Badr.

  194.  @LogicStandsBeforeGod  However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.3  Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10  and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah, because from the beginning God selected you for salvation by sanctifying you with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

  195.  @LogicStandsBeforeGod  13  At that time some who were present reported to him about the Gal·i·leʹans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2  In reply he said to them: “Do you think that those Gal·i·leʹans were worse sinners than all other Gal·i·leʹans because they have suffered these things? 3  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed. 4  Or those 18 on whom the tower in Si·loʹam fell, killing them—do you think that they had greater guilt than all other men who live in Jerusalem? 5  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all be destroyed, as they were.”6  Then he went on to tell this illustration: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. 7  Then he said to the vinedresser, ‘Here it is three years that I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, but have found none. Cut it down! Why should it keep the ground useless?’ 8  In reply he said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for one more year until I dig around it and put on manure. 9  If it produces fruit in the future, well and good; but if not, then cut it down.’”10  Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11  And look! a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness for 18 years; and she was bent double and was unable to straighten up at all. 12  When he saw her, Jesus addressed her and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.” 13  And he laid his hands on her, and instantly she straightened up and began to glorify God. 14  But in response the presiding officer of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus did the cure on the Sabbath, said to the crowd: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come and be cured on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15  However, the Lord answered him: “Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the Sabbath untie his bull or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to give it something to drink? 16  Should not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham and whom Satan held bound for 18 years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” 17  Well, when he said these things, all his opposers began to feel shame, but the entire crowd began to rejoice at all the glorious things he did

  197.  Haqaiq Urdu  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  198. Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  200.  @ProxinatorX  https://youtu.be/6st_tFj6ouM ☺️Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for him. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad? My son is because we are goats https://youtu.be/uxn0QYtWMts

  201.  @Habzo421  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  203. @fortnite LIGMA Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites.

  204. Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.” 37  Therefore Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness* to the truth.+ Everyone that is on the side of the truth+ listens to my voice.”+ 38  Pilate said to him: “What is truth?”* John 18:36-38.

  206. For its part, the former covenant used to have legal requirements for sacred service and its holy place+ on earth. 2  For a first tent compartment was constructed, in which were the lampstand+ and the table and the display of the loaves of presentation;*+ and it is called the Holy Place.+ 3  But behind the second curtain+ was the tent compartment called the Most Holy.+ 4  This had a golden censer+ and the ark of the covenant+ completely overlaid with gold,+ in which were the golden jar containing the manna+ and Aaron’s rod that budded+ and the tablets+ of the covenant; 5  and above it were the glorious cherubs overshadowing the propitiatory cover.*+ But now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.6  After these things were constructed this way, the priests enter the first tent compartment regularly to perform the sacred services;+ 7  but the high priest enters alone into the second compartment once a year,+ not without blood,+ which he offers for himself+ and for the sins that the people+ committed in ignorance. 8  Thus the holy spirit makes it clear that the way into the holy place had not yet been revealed while the first tent was standing.+ 9  This tent is an illustration for the present time,+ and according to this arrangement, both gifts and sacrifices are offered.+ However, these are not able to make the conscience of the man doing sacred service perfect.+ 10  They have to do only with foods and drinks and various ceremonial washings.*+ They were legal requirements concerning the body+ and were imposed until the appointed time to set things straight.11  However, when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have already taken place, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12  He entered into the holy place, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood,+ once for all time, and obtained an everlasting deliverance* for us.+ 13  For if the blood of goats and of bulls+ and the ashes of a heifer* sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies for the cleansing of the flesh,+ 14  how much more will the blood of the Christ,+ who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works+ so that we may render sacred service to the living God?+15  That is why he is a mediator of a new covenant,+ in order that because a death has occurred for their release by ransom+ from the transgressions under the former covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.+ 16  For where there is a covenant, the death of the human covenanter needs to be established, 17  because a covenant is valid at death, since it is not in force as long as the human covenanter is living. 18  Consequently, neither was the former covenant put into effect* without blood. 19  For when Moses had spoken every commandment of the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the book* and all the people, 20  saying: “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”+ 21  He likewise sprinkled the tent and all the vessels of the holy service* with the blood.+ 22  Yes, according to the Law nearly all things are cleansed with blood,+ and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place.+23  Therefore, it was necessary for the typical representations+ of the things in the heavens to be cleansed by these means,+ but the heavenly things require far better sacrifices. 24  For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with hands,+ which is a copy of the reality,+ but into heaven itself,+ so that he now appears before* God on our behalf.+ 25  This was not done to offer himself often, as when the high priest enters into the holy place from year to year+ with blood that is not his own. 26  Otherwise, he would have to suffer often from the founding of the world. But now he has manifested himself once for all time at the conclusion of the systems of things* to do away with sin through the sacrifice of himself.+ 27  And just as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this to receive a judgment, 28  so also the Christ was offered once for all time to bear the sins of many;+ and the second time that he appears it will be apart from sin,* and he will be seen by those earnestly looking for him for their salvation.

To Muslims and those propagandists that spend their time on YouTube writing trash I was a Christian now Muslim or I love the voice of allahu Akbar and say you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers. But you do not believe, because you are not my sheep.+ 27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30

  208.  @aniqiqbal380  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

  213.  @abdirahmanabdi9050  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  215.  @abdirahmanabdi9050  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  216.  @abdirahmanabdi9050  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

  218.  @origami604  When we listen to some people making allahu Akbar to a black stone and moon because some mental derail person told them that a fake angel jibril spoke to him various times. Read the book yourself and see what is in. We know what unfaithful angels has done to mankind destiny's. When this madness started, people wasn't believing him, so he travels to Medina and lunch war. You accept it or you are dead. Many Jews and Christians were slaughtered because they refused and remain in their faith in Christ Jesus for salvation. Look at what we see with this story of allah and his apostle or disciple or prophet. If you can not make a difference between apostle and prophet, what story are you telling people? When you write a book and forget to put your name in, there is no conversation between you and God. Many people has become brain damaged and terrorists because of story that doesn't fit anywhere. There is only one qu'ran ok, bring it out, but you are unable. You render some of your followers into letter boxes in our society which you are not welcome.

  220.  @ar.suhaimihashim8080  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  221.  @origami604  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.*+ 2  Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,*+ 3  and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.+ 4  For all of these put in gifts out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”+5  Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,+ 6  he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+ 7  Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”+ 8  He said: “Look out that you are not misled,+ for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.+ 9  Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

  230.  @عليوضاح-س1ث  To Muslims and those propagandists who spend their time on YouTube writing trash, those reverted Christian now Muslim or those that love the voice of allahu Akbar and saying you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. You Muslim say christians worship three gods in one TRINITY. Let show you Trinity; ONE allah the black stone in Mekkah direction of Islam prayer. TWO allah the moon 🌛 during the RAMADAN we look for it and his symbol on all the mosque. THREE allah it self a god that never appear anywhere. You Muslim say Jesus Christ was a Muslim, when Jesus Christ was on earth why you Muslim didn't come to him and tell him that he is a Muslim. Just only one place in the Bible where Jesus Christ is making allahu Akbar. How can you talk to donkeys that way.

  231.  @عليوضاح-س1ث  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  232.  @عليوضاح-س1ث  commend you because in all things you remember me and you are holding fast the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3  But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ;+ in turn, the head of a woman is the man;+ in turn, the head of the Christ is God.+ 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head shames his head; 5  but every woman who prays or prophesies+ with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head. 6  For if a woman does not cover herself, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, she should be covered.7  For a man should not have his head covered, as he is God’s image+ and glory, but the woman is man’s glory. 8  For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.+ 9  And what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.+ 10  That is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.+11  Besides, in connection with the Lord, neither is woman separate from man nor is man separate from woman. 12  For just as the woman is from the man,+ so also the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.+ 13  Judge for yourselves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14  Does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man, 15  but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her instead of a covering. 16  However, if anyone wants to argue in favor of some other custom, we have no other, nor do the congregations of God.

  233.  @origami604  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  234.  @عليوضاح-س1ث  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  235.  @origami604  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  239.  @عليوضاح-س1ث  Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer* in what was called the Italian unit.* 2  He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. 3  About the ninth hour+ of the day,* he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God come in to him and say: “Cornelius!” 4  Cornelius stared at him, terrified, and asked: “What is it, Lord?” He said to him: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.+ 5  So now send men to Jopʹpa and summon a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6  This man is staying as a guest with* Simon, a tanner who has a house by the sea.” 7  As soon as the angel who spoke to him left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who were his attendants, 8  and he related everything to them and sent them to Jopʹpa.9  The next day as they were continuing on their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour* to pray. 10  But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing the meal, he fell into a trance+ 11  and saw heaven opened and something* descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four corners on the earth; 12  and in it were all sorts of four-footed animals and reptiles* of the earth and birds of heaven. 13  Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14  But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”+ 15  And the voice spoke again to him, the second time: “Stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16  This happened a third time, and immediately it* was taken up into heaven.17  While Peter was still perplexed about what the vision he had seen could mean, just then the men sent by Cornelius asked where Simon’s house was and stood there at the gate.+ 18  They called out and inquired whether Simon who was called Peter was a guest there. 19  As Peter was still pondering over the vision, the spirit+ said: “Look! Three men are asking for you. 20  So get up, go downstairs and go with them, not doubting at all, because I have sent them.” 21  Then Peter went downstairs to the men and said: “Here I am, the one you are looking for. Why are you here?” 22  They said: “Cornelius,+ an army officer, a righteous and God-fearing man who is well-reported-on by the whole nation of the Jews, was given divine instructions by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.” 23  So he invited them in and had them stay as his guests.The next day he got up and went off with them, and some of the brothers from Jopʹpa went with him. 24  The following day he entered into Caes·a·reʹa. Cornelius, of course, was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25  As Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and did obeisance* to him. 26  But Peter lifted him up, saying: “Rise; I too am just a man.”+ 27  As he conversed with him, he went in and found many people assembled. 28  He said to them: “You well know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or approach a man of another race,+ and yet God has shown me that I should call no man defiled or unclean.+ 29  So I came, really without objection, when I was sent for. Therefore, I ask you why you sent for me.”30  Then Cornelius said: “Four days ago counting from this hour, I was praying in my house at the ninth hour;* just then a man in bright clothing stood in front of me 31  and said: ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been favorably heard, and your gifts of mercy have been remembered before God. 32  Therefore, send to Jopʹpa and call for Simon who is called Peter. This man is a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.’+ 33  I then sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come here. So now we are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah* to say.”34  At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35  but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+ 36  He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace+ through Jesus Christ—this one is Lord of all.+ 37  You know the subject that was talked about throughout all Ju·deʹa, starting from Galʹi·lee+ after the baptism that John preached: 38  about Jesus who was from Nazʹa·reth, how God anointed him with holy spirit+ and power, and he went through the land doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil,+ because God was with him.+ 39  And we are witnesses of all the things he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; but they did away with him by hanging him on a stake.* 40  God raised this one up on the third day+ and allowed him to become manifest,* 41  not to all the people, but to witnesses appointed beforehand by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead.+ 42  Also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness+ that this is the one decreed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.+ 43  To him all the prophets bear witness,+ that everyone putting faith in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”+44  While Peter was still speaking about these matters, the holy spirit came upon all those hearing the word.+ 45  And the circumcised believers* who had come with Peter were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also on people of the nations. 46  For they heard them speaking in foreign languages* and magnifying God.+ Then Peter responded: 47  “Can anyone deny water to prevent these from being baptized+ who have received the holy spirit just as we have?” 48  With that he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.+ Then they requested him to stay for some days.

Read the book yourself and see what is in. We know what unfaithful angels has done to mankind destiny's. When this madness started, people wasn't believing him, so he travels to Medina and lunch war. You accept it or you are dead. Many Jews and Christians were slaughtered because they refused and remain in their faith in Christ Jesus for salvation. Look at what we see with this story of allah and his apostle or disciple or prophet. If you can not make a difference between apostle and prophet, what story are you telling people? When you write a book and forget to put your name in, there is no conversation between you and God. Many people has become brain damaged and terrorists because of story that doesn't fit anywhere. There is only one qu'ran ok, bring it out, but you are unable. You render some of your followers into letter boxes in our society which you are not welcome.

  242.  @alpt1980  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  246. Waraqa said, "This is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they turn me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Apostle in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. (Ibn 'Abbas said regarding the meaning of: 'He it is that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)' (6.96) that Al-Asbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).   Quoted from the Sahih (authentic) Hadith (traditions) of Bukhari, [2], Volume 9, number 111.                 Here are additional details from Ibn Ishaq's "Sirat Rasulallah" from Guillaume's translation, "The Life of Muhammad", [3], page 106.   Words in [ ] type brackets are mine.  Words in ( ) brackets are the author's.               "So I [Muhammad] read it, and he [Gabriel] departed from me.  And I awoke from my sleep, and it was though these words were written on my heart.  (Tabari:  Now none of God's creatures was more hateful to me than an (ecstatic) poet or a man possessed:  I could not even look at them.  I thought, Woe is me poet or possessed - Never shall Quraysh say this of me! I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and gain rest. So I went forth to do so and then) when I was midway on the mountain, I heard a voice from heaven saying "O Muhammad! thou are the apostle of God and I am Gabriel."   END OF QUOTE                   The "Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir", (Book of the Major Classes), by Ibn Sa'd, translated by S. Moinal Haq, [4], page 225 has Muhammad saying:                           "O Khadija, I see light and hear sounds and I fear I am mad".               The visitations from the spirit continued.  Then they stopped for a time believed to have been from 6 months to 3 years.  When this happened, Tabari, [5], volume 6 page 76, records:               "The inspiration ceased to come to the messenger of God for a while, and he was deeply grieved.  He began to go to the tops of mountain crags, in order to fling himself from them; but every time he reached the summit of a mountain, Gabriel appeared to him and said to him, "You are the Prophet of God."  Thereupon his anxiety would subside and he would come back to himself."

Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  248.  @autorefresher1  However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.3  Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10  and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah, because from the beginning God selected you for salvation by sanctifying you with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

  250.  @alpt1980  Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.*+ 2  Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,*+ 3  and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.+ 4  For all of these put in gifts out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”+5  Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,+ 6  he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+ 7  Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”+ 8  He said: “Look out that you are not misled,+ for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.+ 9  Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

To Muslims and those propagandists who spend their time on YouTube writing trash, those reverted Christian now Muslim or those that love the voice of allahu Akbar and saying you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.

  252.  @ajsmoth3509  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites.

  253.  @sajibsam393  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  254.  @alpt1980  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?

  255.  @chewannorabtchewanothmanno9641  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  256.  @chewannorabtchewanothmanno9641  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  257.  @ajsmoth3509  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  261.  @ajsmoth3509  https://youtu.be/6st_tFj6ouM ☺️Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for him. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad? My son is because we are goats https://youtu.be/uxn0QYtWMts

  262. war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*+ and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8  but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9  So down the great dragon+ was hurled, the original serpent,+ the one called Devil+ and Satan,+ who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;+ he was hurled down to the earth,+ and his angels were hurled down with him. 10  I heard a loud voice in heaven say:“Now have come to pass the salvation+ and the power and the Kingdom of our God+ and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!+ 11  And they conquered him+ because of the blood of the Lamb+ and because of the word of their witnessing,+ and they did not love their souls*+ even in the face of death. 12  On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,+ because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”+

Babylon, the most glorious* of kingdoms,+The beauty and the pride of the Chal·deʹans,+Will be like Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah when God overthrew them.+20  She will never be inhabited,Nor will she be a place to reside in throughout all generations.+No Arab will pitch his tent there,And no shepherds will rest their flocks there.

  264. Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  265.  @salmanie9763  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  266. However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.3  Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10  and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah, because from the beginning God selected you for salvation by sanctifying you with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

  267.  @salmanie9763  13  At that time some who were present reported to him about the Gal·i·leʹans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2  In reply he said to them: “Do you think that those Gal·i·leʹans were worse sinners than all other Gal·i·leʹans because they have suffered these things? 3  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed. 4  Or those 18 on whom the tower in Si·loʹam fell, killing them—do you think that they had greater guilt than all other men who live in Jerusalem? 5  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all be destroyed, as they were.”6  Then he went on to tell this illustration: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. 7  Then he said to the vinedresser, ‘Here it is three years that I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, but have found none. Cut it down! Why should it keep the ground useless?’ 8  In reply he said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for one more year until I dig around it and put on manure. 9  If it produces fruit in the future, well and good; but if not, then cut it down.’”10  Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11  And look! a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness for 18 years; and she was bent double and was unable to straighten up at all. 12  When he saw her, Jesus addressed her and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.” 13  And he laid his hands on her, and instantly she straightened up and began to glorify God. 14  But in response the presiding officer of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus did the cure on the Sabbath, said to the crowd: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come and be cured on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15  However, the Lord answered him: “Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the Sabbath untie his bull or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to give it something to drink? 16  Should not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham and whom Satan held bound for 18 years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” 17  Well, when he said these things, all his opposers began to feel shame, but the entire crowd began to rejoice at all the glorious things he did

  271. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel was ministering+ to Jehovah before Eʹli, but word from Jehovah had become rare in those days; visions+ were not widespread.2  One day Eʹli was lying down in his usual place, and his eyes had grown dim; he was not able to see.+ 3  The lamp of God+ had not yet been extinguished, and Samuel was lying in the temple*+ of Jehovah, where the Ark of God was. 4  Jehovah then called Samuel. He answered: “Here I am.” 5  He ran to Eʹli and said: “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said: “I did not call. Lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6  Jehovah called once again: “Samuel!” At this Samuel got up and went to Eʹli and said: “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said: “I did not call, my son. Lie down again.” 7  (Now Samuel had not yet come to know Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him.)+ 8  So Jehovah called again, a third time: “Samuel!” At that he got up and went to Eʹli and said: “Here I am, for you called me.”Eʹli then realized that it was Jehovah who was calling the boy. 9  So Eʹli said to Samuel: “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you should say, ‘Speak, Jehovah, for your servant is listening.’” And Samuel went and lay down in his place.10  Jehovah came and stood there, and he called as at the other times: “Samuel, Samuel!” At this Samuel said: “Speak, for your servant is listening.” 11  Jehovah said to Samuel: “Look! I am doing something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears about it tingle.+ 12  On that day I will carry out toward Eʹli all that I said about his house, from start to finish.+ 13  You must tell him that I am bringing a lasting judgment on his house for the error that he has known about,+ for his sons are cursing God,+ but he has not rebuked them.+ 14  That is why I have sworn to the house of Eʹli that the error of the house of Eʹli will never be atoned for by sacrifices or by offerings.”+15  Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of Jehovah’s house. Samuel was afraid to tell Eʹli of the vision. 16  But Eʹli called for Samuel: “Samuel, my son!” At this he said: “Here I am.” 17  He asked: “What message did he speak to you? Please, do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and add to it if you hide from me a single word of all that he said to you.” 18  So Samuel told him everything, and he did not hide anything from him. Eʹli said: “It is Jehovah. Let him do what is good in his eyes.”19  Samuel continued growing up, and Jehovah himself was with him+ and did not let any of all his words go unfulfilled.* 20  All Israel from Dan to Beʹer-sheʹba became aware that Samuel had been confirmed as Jehovah’s prophet. 21  And Jehovah continued to appear in Shiʹloh, for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiʹloh by the word of Jehovah.

  272.  @LolLol-yp3lt  However, brothers, concerning the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you 2  not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be alarmed either by an inspired statement or by a spoken message or by a letter appearing to be from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.3  Let no one lead you astray in any way, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4  He stands in opposition and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5  Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I used to tell you these things?6  And now you know what is acting as a restraint, so that he will be revealed in his own due time. 7  True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is right now acting as a restraint is out of the way. 8  Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9  But the lawless one’s presence is by the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders 10  and every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth in order that they might be saved. 11  That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie, 12  in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.13  However, we are obligated always to thank God for you, brothers loved by Jehovah, because from the beginning God selected you for salvation by sanctifying you with his spirit and by your faith in the truth. 14  He called you to this through the good news we declare, so that you may acquire the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.+ 15  So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain your hold on the traditions that you were taught, whether it was by a spoken message or by a letter from us. 16  Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17  comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

Why should it keep the ground useless?’ 8  In reply he said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for one more year until I dig around it and put on manure. 9  If it produces fruit in the future, well and good; but if not, then cut it down.’”10  Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11  And look! a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness for 18 years; and she was bent double and was unable to straighten up at all. 12  When he saw her, Jesus addressed her and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.” 13  And he laid his hands on her, and instantly she straightened up and began to glorify God. 14  But in response the presiding officer of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus did the cure on the Sabbath, said to the crowd: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come and be cured on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15  However, the Lord answered him: “Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the Sabbath untie his bull or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to give it something to drink? 16  Should not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham and whom Satan held bound for 18 years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” 17  Well, when he said these things, all his opposers began to feel shame, but the entire crowd began to rejoice at all the glorious things he did

  274. When Aʹbram was 99 years old, Jehovah appeared to Aʹbram and said to him: “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and prove yourself faultless.* 2  I will establish my covenant between me and you,+ and I will multiply you very, very much.”+3  At this Aʹbram fell facedown, and God continued to speak with him, saying: 4  “As for me, look! my covenant is with you,+ and you will certainly become a father of many nations.+ 5  Your name will no longer be Aʹbram;* your name will become Abraham,* for I will make you a father of many nations. 6  I will make you very, very fruitful and will make you become nations, and kings will come from you.+7  “And I will keep my covenant between me and you+ and your offspring* after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring* after you. 8  And I will give to you and to your offspring* after you the land in which you lived as a foreigner+—the entire land of Caʹnaan—for a lasting possession, and I will be their God.”+9  God said further to Abraham: “As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your offspring* after you throughout their generations. 10  This is my covenant between me and you, that you and your offspring* after you will keep: Every male among you must get circumcised.+ 11  You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.+ 12  Throughout your generations, every male among you eight days old must be circumcised,+ anyone who is born in the house and anyone who is not one of your offspring* and who was purchased with money from a foreigner. 13  Every man born in your house and every man purchased with your money must be circumcised,+ and my covenant in your flesh must serve as a lasting covenant. 14  If any uncircumcised male will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin, that person* must be cut off* from his people. He has broken my covenant.”15  Then God said to Abraham: “As for your wife Sarʹai,*+ you must not call her Sarʹai, because Sarah* will become her name. 16  I will bless her and also give you a son by her;+ I will bless her and she will become nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” 17  At this Abraham fell facedown and began to laugh and to say in his heart:+ “Will a man 100 years old have a child born to him, and will Sarah, a woman 90 years old, give birth?”+18  So Abraham said to the true God: “O that Ishʹma·el might live before you!”+ 19  To this God said: “Your wife Sarah will definitely bear you a son, and you must name him Isaac.*+ And I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant to his offspring* after him.+ 20  But as regards Ishʹma·el, I have heard you. Look! I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him very, very much. He will produce 12 chieftains, and I will make him become a great nation.+ 21  However, I will establish my covenant with Isaac,+ whom Sarah will bear to you at this appointed time next year.”+22  When God finished speaking with him, he went up from Abraham. 23  Abraham then took Ishʹma·el his son and all the men born in his house and everyone he had purchased with money, every male in the household of Abraham, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins on that very day, just as God had spoken with him.+ 24  Abraham was 99 years old when he had the flesh of his foreskin circumcised.+ 25  And Ishʹma·el his son was 13 years old when he had the flesh of his foreskin circumcised.+ 26  On that very day, Abraham was circumcised and also his son Ishʹma·el. 27  All the men of his household, anyone born in the house and anyone purchased with money from a foreigner, were also circumcised with him.

  275. To Muslims and those propagandists who spend their time on YouTube writing trash, those reverted Christian now Muslim or those that love the voice of allahu Akbar and saying you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.

  276. Is Jesus Christ God? Let us use the Bible to find the answer. When God Yahweh Almighty appear to Moses in the old testament, he says, I am the God of your forefathers. Exodus 3:6-8. In Exodus 20: 2. I am Jehovah or Yahweh your God. Here he speak in singular clearly identify himself to the Jews. Now because the Jews are unfaithful people, when they do any wrong thing before God, there are consequences, they asked God Yahweh Almighty in the day of assembly, we need someone to stand before us and speak for you because we are afraid to die when you speak directly to us. Deuteronomy 18:15-18 Now God Yahweh Almighty accepted and make a promise to raise up a great prophet among the Jews like Moses who will stand and talk face to face to the Jewish as his representative. Deuteronomy 18:18. This is where the history of Christ started; Christ= Messiah. 1king13:2 prophecy about Christ. It's fulfillment. Hebrew 9:11-12. Christ= Messiah, what was his functions a shepherd to gather my sheep of all the nations . Psalm 78:71, Isaiah 40:11, Ezekiel 34:12/ 34:23. Jesus Christ identify himself as such. John 10:14. I am the fine shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me, The coming of Christ, Messiah Isaiah 7:14. Therefore, Jehovah himself will give you a sign: Look! The young woman* will become pregnant and will give birth to a son, and she will name him Im·manʹu·el. The fulfillment took place in the book of Luke 1:26-33. Jesus will be called son of the must higher. Remember that God Yahweh Almighty said in Deuteronomy 18:18 he will put his words in his mouth and he will speak for him. Jesus already on earth. John 1:1 says the words was with God Yahweh Almighty. John 1:2 and this one was with God which is Jesus Christ that God Yahweh Almighty has sent to speak his words as promised in Deuteronomy 18:18. Now when Jesus Christ was baptized the spirit of God Yahweh Almighty come from heaven upon Jesus Christ that is the beginning of his ministry with the words of God and God Yahweh Almighty said this is my son the beloved one. Matthew 3:16-17 Now Jesus Christ during his ministry asked his disciples who do you think I am? Peter answered, you are the son of the living God. Matthew 16:16. Also Jesus Christ did presented himself to his disciples as God's representative ( John 16:28. Jesus Christ during his ministry said in John 4:24. That God is spirit, he did not say I am spirit. So, if we go back when God Yahweh or Jehovah Almighty presented himself, I am your God to Israel, not I am the father, son and holy spirit Compared to John 14:8 where Jesus Christ says, for long I have been with you and get you say show us the father? Is because the father is spirit and invisible, so, he used his son Christ who is perfect without sin to act and speak. Remember in Exodus 33:20 But he added: “You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live.” In conclusion Jesus Christ is the son of God. In many Bible translation the name of God Yahweh or Jehovah is been removed and replaced with titles Lord, God, Almighty, heavenly father. The high priests in ancient Israel did the same thing while rewriting the scriptures, translators followed the same way. Jesus Christ said father I have glorified your name in John 17:4. If we can't find the name in the Bible,then which name is he talking about?

  277.  @abdoooadel3332  You must pray, then, this way:+“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name+ be sanctified.*+ 10  Let your Kingdom+ come. Let your will+ take place, as in heaven, also on earth.+ 11  Give us today our bread for this day;+ 12  and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.+ 13  And do not bring us into temptation,+ but deliver* us from the wicked one.’+14  “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;+ 15  whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.+16  “When you fast,+ stop becoming sad-faced like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces* so they may appear to men to be fasting.+ Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 17  But you, when fasting, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18  so that you may not appear to be fasting to men but only to your Father who is in secret. Then your Father who looks on in secret will repay you.19  “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures on the earth,+ where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal. 20  Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,+ where neither moth nor rust consumes,+ and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.22  “The lamp of the body is the eye.+ If, then, your eye is focused,* your whole body will be bright.* 23  But if your eye is envious,*+ your whole body will be dark. If the light that is in you is really darkness, how great that darkness is!

  278.  @danielaelabed5100  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  279.  @danielaelabed5100  Waraqa said, "This is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they turn me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Apostle in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. (Ibn 'Abbas said regarding the meaning of: 'He it is that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)' (6.96) that Al-Asbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).   Quoted from the Sahih (authentic) Hadith (traditions) of Bukhari, [2], Volume 9, number 111.                 Here are additional details from Ibn Ishaq's "Sirat Rasulallah" from Guillaume's translation, "The Life of Muhammad", [3], page 106.   Words in [ ] type brackets are mine.  Words in ( ) brackets are the author's.               "So I [Muhammad] read it, and he [Gabriel] departed from me.  And I awoke from my sleep, and it was though these words were written on my heart.  (Tabari:  Now none of God's creatures was more hateful to me than an (ecstatic) poet or a man possessed:  I could not even look at them.  I thought, Woe is me poet or possessed - Never shall Quraysh say this of me! I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and gain rest. So I went forth to do so and then) when I was midway on the mountain, I heard a voice from heaven saying "O Muhammad! thou are the apostle of God and I am Gabriel."   END OF QUOTE                   The "Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir", (Book of the Major Classes), by Ibn Sa'd, translated by S. Moinal Haq, [4], page 225 has Muhammad saying:                           "O Khadija, I see light and hear sounds and I fear I am mad".               The visitations from the spirit continued.  Then they stopped for a time believed to have been from 6 months to 3 years.  When this happened, Tabari, [5], volume 6 page 76, records:               "The inspiration ceased to come to the messenger of God for a while, and he was deeply grieved.  He began to go to the tops of mountain crags, in order to fling himself from them; but every time he reached the summit of a mountain, Gabriel appeared to him and said to him, "You are the Prophet of God."  Thereupon his anxiety would subside and he would come back to himself."

  280.  @dylankn8129  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  282.  @danielaelabed5100  Now as he looked up, he saw the rich dropping their gifts into the treasury chests.*+ 2  Then he saw a needy widow drop in two small coins of very little value,*+ 3  and he said: “Truly I say to you that this poor widow put in more than they all did.+ 4  For all of these put in gifts out of their surplus, but she, out of her want,* put in all the means of living she had.”+5  Later, when some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with fine stones and dedicated things,+ 6  he said: “As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+ 7  Then they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, when will these things actually be, and what will be the sign when these things are to occur?”+ 8  He said: “Look out that you are not misled,+ for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.+ 9  Furthermore, when you hear of wars and disturbances,* do not be terrified. For these things must take place first, but the end will not occur immediately.”+10  Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11  There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.12  “But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name.+ 13  It will result in your giving a witness. 14  Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to rehearse beforehand how to make your defense,+ 15  for I will give you words and wisdom that all your opposers together will not be able to resist or dispute.+ 16  Moreover, you will be handed over* even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,+ 17  and you will be hated by all people because of my name.+ 18  But not even a hair of your heads will perish.+ 19  By your endurance you will preserve your lives.*+20  “However, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies,+ then know that the desolating of her has drawn near.+ 21  Then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains,+ let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her, 22  because these are days for meting out justice* in order that all the things written may be fulfilled. 23  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days!+ For there will be great distress on the land and wrath against this people. 24  And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations;+ and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations* until the appointed times of the nations* are fulfilled.+25  “Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars,+ and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. 26  People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27  And then they will see the Son of man+ coming in a cloud with power and great glory.+ 28  But as these things start to occur, stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”29  With that he told them an illustration: “Notice the fig tree and all the other trees.+ 30  When they are budding, you see it for yourselves and know that now the summer is near. 31  Likewise also you, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. 32  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all things happen.+ 33  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+34  “But pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with overeating and heavy drinking+ and anxieties of life,+ and suddenly that day be instantly upon you 35  as a snare.+ For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth. 36  Keep awake,+ then, all the time making supplication+ that you may succeed in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing before the Son of man.”+37  So by day he would be teaching in the temple, but by night he would go out and lodge on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38  And all the people would come to him early in the morning to hear him in the temple.

  283.  @jusbawanglanangherbal5170  A witch of allahu Akbar. Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for,+ the evident demonstration* of realities that are not seen. 2  For by means of it, the men of ancient times* had witness borne to them.3  By faith we perceive that the systems of things* were put in order by God’s word, so that what is seen has come into existence from things that are not visible.4  By faith Abel offered God a sacrifice of greater worth than that of Cain,+ and through that faith he received the witness that he was righteous, for God approved* his gifts,+ and although he died, he still speaks+ through his faith.5  By faith Eʹnoch+ was transferred so as not to see death, and he was nowhere to be found because God had transferred him;+ for before he was transferred he received the witness that he had pleased God well. 6  Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is* and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.+7  By faith Noah,+ after receiving divine warning of things not yet seen,+ showed godly fear and constructed an ark+ for the saving of his household; and through this faith he condemned the world,+ and he became an heir of the righteousness that results from faith.8  By faith Abraham,+ when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place he was to receive as an inheritance; he went out, although not knowing where he was going.+ 9  By faith he lived as a foreigner in the land of the promise as in a foreign land,+ living in tents+ with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the very same promise.+ 10  For he was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer* and builder is God.+11  By faith also Sarah received power to conceive offspring,* even when she was past the age,+ since she considered Him faithful* who made the promise. 12  For this reason, from one man who was as good as dead,+ there were born children,+ as many as the stars of heaven in number and as innumerable as the sands by the seaside.+13  In faith all of these died, although they did not receive the fulfillment of the promises;+ but they saw them from a distance+ and welcomed them and publicly declared that they were strangers and temporary residents in the land. 14  For those who speak in such a way make it evident that they are earnestly seeking a place of their own. 15  And yet, if they had kept remembering the place from which they had departed,+ they would have had opportunity to return. 16  But now they are reaching out for a better place, that is, one belonging to heaven. Therefore, God is not ashamed of them, to be called on as their God,+ for he has prepared a city for them.+17  By faith Abraham, when he was tested,+ as good as offered up Isaac—the man who had gladly received the promises attempted to offer up his only-begotten son+— 18  although it had been said to him: “What will be called your offspring* will be through Isaac.”+ 19  But he reasoned that God was able to raise him up even from the dead, and he did receive him from there in an illustrative way.+20  By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob+ and Eʹsau+ concerning things to come.21  By faith Jacob, when about to die,+ blessed each of the sons of Joseph+ and worshipped while leaning on the top of his staff.+22  By faith Joseph, nearing his end, spoke of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and he gave instructions* concerning his bones.*+23  By faith Moses was hid by his parents for three months after his birth,+ because they saw that the young child was beautiful+ and they did not fear the order of the king.+ 24  By faith Moses, when grown up,+ refused to be called the son of Pharʹaoh’s daughter,+ 25  choosing to be mistreated with the people of God rather than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin, 26  because he considered the reproach of the Christ to be riches greater than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked intently toward the payment of the reward. 27  By faith he left Egypt,+ but not fearing the anger of the king,+ for he continued steadfast as seeing the One who is invisible.+ 28  By faith he observed the Passover and the splashing of the blood, so that the destroyer might not harm* their firstborn.+29  By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land,+ but when the Egyptians attempted it, they were swallowed up.+30  By faith the walls of Jerʹi·cho fell down after the people had marched around them for seven days.+ 31  By faith Raʹhab the prostitute did not perish with those who acted disobediently, because she received the spies in a peaceable way.+32  And what more will I say? For time will fail me if I go on to relate about Gidʹe·on,+ Baʹrak,+ Samson,+ Jephʹthah,+ David,+ as well as Samuel+ and the other prophets. 33  Through faith they defeated kingdoms,+ brought about righteousness, obtained promises,+ stopped the mouths of lions,+ 34  quenched the force of fire,+ escaped the edge of the sword,+ from a weak state were made powerful,+ became mighty in war,+ routed invading armies.+ 35  Women received their dead by resurrection,+ but other men were tortured because they would not accept release by some ransom, in order that they might attain a better resurrection. 36  Yes, others received their trial by mockings and scourgings, indeed, more than that, by chains+ and prisons.+ 37  They were stoned,+ they were tried, they were sawn in two,* they were slaughtered by the sword,+ they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins,+ while they were in need, in tribulation,+ mistreated;+ 38  and the world was not worthy of them. They wandered about in deserts and mountains and caves+ and dens of the earth.39  And yet all of these, although they received a favorable witness because of their faith, did not obtain the fulfillment of the promise, 40  because God had foreseen something better for us,+ so that they might not be made perfect apart from us.

And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘You have said: “Our revolts and our sins weigh heavily upon us, causing us to waste away;+ so how will we keep living?”’+ 11  Tell them, ‘“As surely as I am alive,” declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked,+ but rather that someone wicked changes his way+ and keeps living.+ Turn back, turn back from your bad ways,+ for why should you die, O house of Israel?”’+12  “And you, son of man, tell the sons of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he revolts;+ nor will the wickedness of the wicked man make him stumble when he turns away from his wickedness;+ nor will anyone righteous be able to keep living because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.+ 13  When I say to the righteous one: “You will surely keep living,” and he trusts in his own righteousness and does what is wrong,*+ none of his righteous acts will be remembered, but he will die for the wrong that he has done.+14  “‘And when I say to the wicked one: “You will surely die,” and he turns away from his sin and does what is just and righteous,+ 15  and the wicked one returns what was taken in pledge+ and pays back what was taken by robbery,+ and he walks in the statutes of life by not doing what is wrong, he will surely keep living.+ He will not die. 16  None of the sins he committed will be held* against him.+ For doing what is just and righteous, he will surely keep living.’+

  286.  @qiyslol  In case a prophet or one who foretells by dreams arises in your midst and gives you a sign or a portent, 2  and the sign or the portent about which he spoke to you comes true while he is saying, ‘Let us walk after other gods, gods that you have not known, and let us serve them,’ 3  you must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer,+ for Jehovah your God is testing you+ to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul.*+ 4  After Jehovah your God you should walk, him you should fear, his commandments you should keep, to his voice you should listen; he is the one you should serve, and to him you should hold fast.+ 5  But that prophet or that dreamer should be put to death,+ because he encouraged rebellion against Jehovah your God—who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery—to turn you from the way in which Jehovah your God has commanded you to walk. And you must remove what is evil from your midst.+6  “If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or your cherished wife or your closest companion* should try to entice you in secrecy, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’+ gods that neither you nor your forefathers have known, 7  from the gods of the peoples all around you, whether near you or those far away from you, from one end of the land to the other end of the land, 8  you must not give in to him or listen to him,+ nor should you show pity or feel compassion or protect him; 9  instead, you should kill him without fail.+ Your hand should be the first to come upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people afterward.+ 10  And you must stone him to death,+ because he has sought to turn you away from Jehovah your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery animals that you may eat:+ the bull, the sheep, the goat, 5  the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the antelope, the wild sheep, and the mountain sheep. 6  You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided into two and that chews the cud. 7  However, you must not eat the following animals that chew the cud or that have split hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not have split hooves. They are unclean for you.+ 8  Also the pig because it has a split hoof but does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat their flesh or touch their carcasses.9  “Of everything that is living in the waters, you may eat these: Anything with fins and scales, you may eat.+ 10  But you must not eat anything that has no fins and scales. It is unclean for you.11  “You may eat any clean bird. 12  But you must not eat these: the eagle, the osprey, the black vulture,+ 13  the red kite, the black kite, every kind of glede, 14  every kind of raven, 15  the ostrich, the owl, the gull, every kind of falcon, 16  the little owl, the long-eared owl, the swan, 17  the pelican, the vulture, the cormorant, 18  the stork, every kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. 19  Every winged swarming creature* also is unclean for you. They should not be eaten. 20  Any clean flying creature you may eat.21  “You must not eat any animal that was found dead.+ You may give it to the foreign resident who is inside your cities,* and he may eat it, or it may be sold to a foreigner. For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God.“You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.+22  “You must without fail give a tenth* of everything your seed produces in the field year by year.+ 23  You will eat the tenth part of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock before Jehovah your God in the place that he chooses to have his name reside,+ so that you may learn to fear Jehovah your God always.+

  289.  @salferrer2474    For its part, the former covenant used to have legal requirements for sacred service and its holy place+ on earth. 2  For a first tent compartment was constructed, in which were the lampstand+ and the table and the display of the loaves of presentation;*+ and it is called the Holy Place.+ 3  But behind the second curtain+ was the tent compartment called the Most Holy.+ 4  This had a golden censer+ and the ark of the covenant+ completely overlaid with gold,+ in which were the golden jar containing the manna+ and Aaron’s rod that budded+ and the tablets+ of the covenant; 5  and above it were the glorious cherubs overshadowing the propitiatory cover.*+ But now is not the time to speak of these things in detail.6  After these things were constructed this way, the priests enter the first tent compartment regularly to perform the sacred services;+ 7  but the high priest enters alone into the second compartment once a year,+ not without blood,+ which he offers for himself+ and for the sins that the people+ committed in ignorance. 8  Thus the holy spirit makes it clear that the way into the holy place had not yet been revealed while the first tent was standing.+ 9  This tent is an illustration for the present time,+ and according to this arrangement, both gifts and sacrifices are offered.+ However, these are not able to make the conscience of the man doing sacred service perfect.+ 10  They have to do only with foods and drinks and various ceremonial washings.*+ They were legal requirements concerning the body+ and were imposed until the appointed time to set things straight.11  However, when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have already taken place, he passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12  He entered into the holy place, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood,+ once for all time, and obtained an everlasting deliverance* for us.+ 13  For if the blood of goats and of bulls+ and the ashes of a heifer* sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies for the cleansing of the flesh,+ 14  how much more will the blood of the Christ,+ who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works+ so that we may render sacred service to the living God?+15  That is why he is a mediator of a new covenant,+ in order that because a death has occurred for their release by ransom+ from the transgressions under the former covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.+ 16  For where there is a covenant, the death of the human covenanter needs to be established, 17  because a covenant is valid at death, since it is not in force as long as the human covenanter is living. 18  Consequently, neither was the former covenant put into effect* without blood. 19  For when Moses had spoken every commandment of the Law to all the people, he took the blood of the young bulls and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the book* and all the people, 20  saying: “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”+ 21  He likewise sprinkled the tent and all the vessels of the holy service* with the blood.+ 22  Yes, according to the Law nearly all things are cleansed with blood,+ and unless blood is poured out no forgiveness takes place.+23  Therefore, it was necessary for the typical representations+ of the things in the heavens to be cleansed by these means,+ but the heavenly things require far better sacrifices. 24  For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with hands,+ which is a copy of the reality,+ but into heaven itself,+ so that he now appears before* God on our behalf.+ 25  This was not done to offer himself often, as when the high priest enters into the holy place from year to year+ with blood that is not his own. 26  Otherwise, he would have to suffer often from the founding of the world. But now he has manifested himself once for all time at the conclusion of the systems of things* to do away with sin through the sacrifice of himself.+ 27  And just as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this to receive a judgment, 28  so also the Christ was offered once for all time to bear the sins of many;+ and the second time that he appears it will be apart from sin,* and he will be seen by those earnestly looking for him for their salvation.

  290. As soon as David was settled in his own house,* he said to Nathan+ the prophet: “Here I am living in a house of cedars+ while the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is under tent cloths.”+ 2  Nathan replied to David: “Do whatever is in your heart, for the true God is with you.”3  On that very night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying: 4  “Go and say to my servant David, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “You are not the one who will build the house for me to dwell in.+ 5  For I have not dwelled in a house from the day I brought Israel out to this day, but I continued going from tent to tent and from one tabernacle to another.*+ 6  During all the time that I went with all Israel, did I ever say one word to any of the judges of Israel whom I appointed to shepherd my people, saying, ‘Why did you not build a house of cedars for me?’”’7  “Now say this to my servant David, ‘This is what Jehovah of armies says: “I took you from the pastures, from following the flock, to become a leader over my people Israel.+ 8  And I will be with you wherever you go,+ and I will do away with* all your enemies from before you;+ and I will make a name for you like the name of the great men of the earth.+ 9  I will appoint a place for my people Israel and settle them, and they will live there and not be disturbed anymore; and wicked men will not oppress them* again as they did in the past,+ 10  from the day that I appointed judges over my people Israel.+ And I will subdue all your enemies.+ Moreover, I tell you, ‘Jehovah will build a house* for you.’11  “‘“When your days come to an end and you go to be with your forefathers, I will raise up your offspring* after you, one of your sons,+ and I will firmly establish his kingship.+ 12  He is the one who will build a house for me,+ and I will firmly establish his throne forever.+ 13  I will become his father, and he will become my son.+ I will not remove my loyal love from him+ the way I removed it from the one who was prior to you.+ 14  I will cause him to stand in my house and in my kingship forever,+ and his throne will last forever.”’”+15  Nathan told David all these words and this entire vision.16  At that King David came in and sat down before Jehovah and said: “Who am I, O Jehovah God? And what is my house that you have brought me this far?+ 17  As if this were not enough, O God, you also speak about the house of your servant down to a distant future time,+ and you have looked on me as if I were a man who should be further exalted,* O Jehovah God. 18  What more can your servant David say to you about the honor given me when you know your servant so well?+ 19  O Jehovah, for the sake of your servant and in agreement with your heart* you have done all these great things by revealing your greatness.+ 20  O Jehovah, there is no one like you,+ and there is no God except you;+ everything we have heard with our ears confirms this. 21  And what other nation on earth is like your people Israel?+ The true God went and redeemed them as his people.+ You made a name for yourself by your great and awe-inspiring deeds,+ driving out nations from before your people,+ whom you redeemed from Egypt. 22  You made your people Israel your own people for all time;+ and you, O Jehovah, became their God.+ 23  Now, O Jehovah, may the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house prove faithful for all time, and may you do just as you have promised.+ 24  May your name endure* and be exalted+ forever, so that people may say, ‘Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, is God to Israel,’ and may the house of your servant David be firmly established before you.+ 25  For you, my God, have revealed to your servant your purpose to build him a house.* That is why your servant has the confidence to offer this prayer to you. 26  And now, O Jehovah, you are the true God, and you have promised these good things concerning your servant. 27  So may it please you to bless the house of your servant, and may it continue forever before you, for you, O Jehovah, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

  292. Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  293.  @danielaelabed5100  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?

  294.  @shafidaulatzai600  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  295.  @danielaelabed5100  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me.

  296.  @danielaelabed5100  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  297.  @dylankn8129  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  302. At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children.+ 26  Yes, O Father, because this is the way you approved. 27  All things have been handed over to me by my Father,+ and no one fully knows the Son except the Father;+ neither does anyone fully know the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.+ 28  Come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh you. 29  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart,+ and you will find refreshment for yourselves.* 30  For my yoke is kindly,* and my load is light.” Matthew 11:25. Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience.+ 12  For the word+ of God is alive+ and exerts power*+ and is sharper than any two-edged sword+ and pierces even to the dividing of soul+ and spirit,+ and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern* thoughts and intentions* of [the] heart.+ 13  And there is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight,+ but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting.

  303. Now, O Israel, listen to the regulations and the judicial decisions that I am teaching you to observe, so that you may live+ and go in and take possession of the land that Jehovah, the God of your forefathers, is giving you. 2  You must not add to the word that I am commanding you, neither must you take away from it,+ so as to keep the commandments of Jehovah your God that I am commanding you.3  “Your own eyes have seen what Jehovah did in the case of the Baʹal of Peʹor; Jehovah your God annihilated from your midst every man who walked after the Baʹal of Peʹor.+ 4  But you who are holding fast to Jehovah your God are all alive today. 5  See, I have taught you regulations and judicial decisions,+ just as Jehovah my God has commanded me, so that you may observe them in the land you will take possession of. 6  You must carefully follow them,+ because this will show wisdom+ and understanding+ on your part before the peoples who will hear about all these regulations, and they will say, ‘This great nation is undoubtedly a wise and understanding people.’+ 7  For what great nation has gods as near to it as Jehovah our God is to us whenever we call on him?+ 8  And what great nation has righteous regulations and judicial decisions like this entire Law that I am putting before you today?+9  “Just be careful and watch yourself closely,* so that you may not forget the things that your eyes have seen and so that they may not depart from your heart all the days of your life. You must also make them known to your sons and to your grandsons.+ 10  On the day that you stood before Jehovah your God in Horʹeb, Jehovah said to me, ‘Congregate the people together to me so that I may let them hear my words,+ in order that they may learn to fear me+ all the days that they are alive on the ground and that they may teach their sons.’+11  “So you came near and stood at the base of the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire up to the very heavens;* there was darkness, cloud, and thick gloom.+ 12  And Jehovah began to speak to you out of the fire.+ You heard the sound of words, but you saw no form+—there was only a voice.+ 13  And he declared his covenant to you,+ which he commanded you to observe—the Ten Commandments.*+ Afterward, he wrote them on two tablets of stone.+ 14  At that time Jehovah commanded me to teach you regulations and judicial decisions, which you are to observe in the land you will enter to take possession of.15  “Therefore, watch yourselves closely*—since you did not see any form on the day Jehovah spoke to you in Horʹeb out of the middle of the fire— 16  that you may not act corruptly by making for yourselves any carved image having the form of any symbol, the representation of male or female,+ 17  the representation of any animal on the earth or the representation of any bird that flies in the sky,+ 18  the representation of anything creeping on the ground or the representation of any fish in the waters under the earth.+ 19  And when you raise your eyes to the heavens and see the sun and the moon and the stars—all the army of the heavens—do not get seduced and bow down to them and serve them.+ Jehovah your God has given them to all the peoples under the whole heavens. 20  But you are the ones Jehovah took and brought out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to become the people of his personal possession,*+ as you are today.21  “Jehovah became angry with me because of you,+ and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan or go into the good land that Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance.+ 22  For I am to die in this land; I will not cross the Jordan,+ but you will cross over and take possession of this good land. 23  Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of Jehovah your God that he made with you,+ and do not make for yourselves a carved image, the form of anything forbidden to you by Jehovah your God.+ 24  For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire,+ a God who requires exclusive devotion.+25  “If you become father to sons and grandsons and you have lived a long time in the land and you act ruinously and make a carved image+ of any kind and you do what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah your God so as to offend him,+ 26  I do take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today that you will surely and quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of. You will not last long on it, but you will be utterly annihilated.+ 27  Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples,+ and just a few of you will survive+ among the nations to which Jehovah will have driven you. 28  There you will have to serve gods of wood and stone made by human hands,+ gods that cannot see or hear or eat or smell.29  “If you search for Jehovah your God from there, you will certainly find him,+ if you inquire for him with all your heart and with all your soul.*+ 30  When you are in great distress and all these things have happened to you in later times, then you will return to Jehovah your God and listen to his voice.+ 31  For Jehovah your God is a merciful God.+ He will not desert you or bring you to ruin or forget the covenant that he swore to your forefathers.+32  “Ask, now, about the former days before your time, from the day when God created man on the earth; search from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens. Has anything so great ever happened or has anything like it ever been heard of?+ 33  Have any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire the way you have heard it and kept on living?+ 34  Or has God ever attempted to take for himself a nation out of the midst of another nation along with judgments,* with signs, with miracles,+ with war,+ with a mighty hand,+ with an outstretched arm, and with terrifying deeds,+ as Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? 35  You yourselves have been shown these things so you will know that Jehovah is the true God;+ there is no other besides him.+ 36  He made you hear his voice from the heavens to correct you, and on the earth he made you see his great fire, and his words you heard from out of the fire.+37  “Because he loved your forefathers and has chosen their offspring* after them,+ you were brought out of Egypt in his presence by his great power. 38  From before you he drove away nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today.+ 39  Know, therefore, on this day, and take it to heart that Jehovah is the true God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.+ There is no other.+ 40  You must keep his regulations and his commandments that I am commanding you today, in order that it may go well with you and your sons after you, so that you may long remain in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you.”+41  At that time Moses set apart three cities on the eastern side of the Jordan.+ 42  If any manslayer unintentionally kills his fellow man and he did not previously hate him,+ he must flee to one of these cities and live.+ 43  The cities are Beʹzer+ in the wilderness on the tableland* for the Reuʹben·ites, Raʹmoth+ in Gilʹe·ad for the Gadʹites, and Goʹlan+ in Baʹshan for the Ma·nasʹsites.+44  Now this is the Law+ that Moses set before the people of Israel. 45  These are the reminders, the regulations, and the judicial decisions that Moses gave to the Israelites after they came out of Egypt,+

  306. Waraqa said, "This is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they turn me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Apostle in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. (Ibn 'Abbas said regarding the meaning of: 'He it is that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)' (6.96) that Al-Asbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).   Quoted from the Sahih (authentic) Hadith (traditions) of Bukhari, [2], Volume 9, number 111.                 Here are additional details from Ibn Ishaq's "Sirat Rasulallah" from Guillaume's translation, "The Life of Muhammad", [3], page 106.   Words in [ ] type brackets are mine.  Words in ( ) brackets are the author's.               "So I [Muhammad] read it, and he [Gabriel] departed from me.  And I awoke from my sleep, and it was though these words were written on my heart.  (Tabari:  Now none of God's creatures was more hateful to me than an (ecstatic) poet or a man possessed:  I could not even look at them.  I thought, Woe is me poet or possessed - Never shall Quraysh say this of me! I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself and gain rest. So I went forth to do so and then) when I was midway on the mountain, I heard a voice from heaven saying "O Muhammad! thou are the apostle of God and I am Gabriel."   END OF QUOTE                   The "Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir", (Book of the Major Classes), by Ibn Sa'd, translated by S. Moinal Haq, [4], page 225 has Muhammad saying:                           "O Khadija, I see light and hear sounds and I fear I am mad".               The visitations from the spirit continued.  Then they stopped for a time believed to have been from 6 months to 3 years.  When this happened, Tabari, [5], volume 6 page 76, records:               "The inspiration ceased to come to the messenger of God for a while, and he was deeply grieved.  He began to go to the tops of mountain crags, in order to fling himself from them; but every time he reached the summit of a mountain, Gabriel appeared to him and said to him, "You are the Prophet of God."  Thereupon his anxiety would subside and he would come back to himself."

  308. Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  311.  @-wheeling9509  13  At that time some who were present reported to him about the Gal·i·leʹans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2  In reply he said to them: “Do you think that those Gal·i·leʹans were worse sinners than all other Gal·i·leʹans because they have suffered these things? 3  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed. 4  Or those 18 on whom the tower in Si·loʹam fell, killing them—do you think that they had greater guilt than all other men who live in Jerusalem? 5  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all be destroyed, as they were.”6  Then he went on to tell this illustration: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. 7  Then he said to the vinedresser, ‘Here it is three years that I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, but have found none. Cut it down! Why should it keep the ground useless?’ 8  In reply he said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for one more year until I dig around it and put on manure. 9  If it produces fruit in the future, well and good; but if not, then cut it down.’”10  Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11  And look! a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness for 18 years; and she was bent double and was unable to straighten up at all. 12  When he saw her, Jesus addressed her and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.” 13  And he laid his hands on her, and instantly she straightened up and began to glorify God. 14  But in response the presiding officer of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus did the cure on the Sabbath, said to the crowd: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come and be cured on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15  However, the Lord answered him: “Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the Sabbath untie his bull or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to give it something to drink? 16  Should not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham and whom Satan held bound for 18 years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” 17  Well, when he said these things, all his opposers began to feel shame, but the entire crowd began to rejoice at all the glorious things he did

  314. Now Jerʹi·cho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites; no one was leaving and no one was entering.+2  Jehovah then said to Joshua: “See, I have handed over to you Jerʹi·cho and its king and its mighty warriors.+ 3  All you fighting men should march around the city, going around the city once. That is what you should do for six days. 4  Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark. But on the seventh day, you should march around the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns.+ 5  When the ram’s horn is sounded—as soon as you hear the sound* of the horn—all the people should shout a great war cry. Then the wall of the city will fall down flat,+ and the people must go up, each one straight ahead.”6  So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests together and told them: “Take up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests should carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark of Jehovah.”+ 7  Then he told the people: “Move on and march around the city, and the armed troops+ should go ahead of the Ark of Jehovah.” 8  And just as Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before Jehovah went forward and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah was following them. 9  And the armed troops went ahead of the priests who were blowing the horns, and the rear guard followed the Ark as the horns were blown continuously.10  Now Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not shout nor let your voices be heard. Not a word should come out of your mouths until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then shout.” 11  He had the Ark of Jehovah go around the city, going around it once, after which they returned to the camp and spent the night there.12  The next morning Joshua got up early, and the priests took up the Ark+ of Jehovah, 13  and seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns walked before the Ark of Jehovah, continuously blowing the horns. The armed troops were walking ahead of them while the rear guard was following the Ark of Jehovah as the horns were blown continuously. 14  They marched around the city on the second day once, after which they returned to the camp. That was what they did for six days.+15  On the seventh day they got up early, as soon as the dawn broke, and they marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.+ 16  And on the seventh time, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua told the people: “Shout,+ for Jehovah has given you the city! 17  The city and everything in it is to be devoted to destruction;+ it all belongs to Jehovah. Only Raʹhab+ the prostitute may keep living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers we sent out.+ 18  But keep away from what is devoted to destruction,+ so that you do not desire something devoted to destruction and take it,+ making the camp of Israel something devoted to destruction by bringing disaster* on it.+ 19  But all the silver and the gold and the articles of copper and iron are holy to Jehovah.+ They should go into the treasury of Jehovah.”+20  Then the people shouted when the horns were blown.+ As soon as the people heard the sound of the horn and shouted a great war cry, the wall fell down flat.+ After that the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city. 21  They devoted all that was in the city to destruction by the sword, man and woman, young and old, bull, sheep, and donkey.+22  Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land: “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her.”+ 23  So the young spies went in and brought out Raʹhab, along with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all who belonged to her; yes, they brought out her whole family,+ and they brought them safely to a place outside the camp of Israel.24  Then they burned the city and everything in it with fire. But the silver, the gold, and the articles of copper and iron, they gave to the treasury of Jehovah’s house.+ 25  Only Raʹhab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her were spared by Joshua;+ and she lives in Israel to this day,+ because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent out to spy on Jerʹi·cho.+26  At that time Joshua pronounced this oath:* “Cursed be the man before Jehovah who undertakes to rebuild this city of Jerʹi·cho. At the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest he will put up its doors.”+27  So Jehovah was with Joshua,+ and his fame spread through all the earth.+

  318.  @michaelhuerter1921  Listen to Christ Jesus. and you will know the truth,+ and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 Sanctify them* by means of the truth;+ your word is truth. John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  319.  @michaelhuerter1921  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  320.  @mcmsoeh  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you.

  321.  @-wheeling9509  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies.

  324.  @ixlnxs  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?

  325.  @miraclesofthequran1285  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  326.  @ixlnxs  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  327.  @miraclesofthequran1285  Who is king Solomon But King Solʹo·mon loved many foreign women+ besides the daughter of Pharʹaoh:+ Moʹab·ite,+ Amʹmon·ite,+ Eʹdom·ite, Si·doʹni·an,+ and Hitʹtite+ women. 2  They were from the nations about whom Jehovah had said to the Israelites: “You must not go in among them,* and they should not come in among you, for they will surely incline your heart to follow their gods.”+ But Solʹo·mon clung to them and loved them. 3  And he had 700 wives who were princesses and 300 concubines, and his wives gradually inclined his heart.* 4  In Solʹo·mon’s old age,+ his wives inclined* his heart to follow other gods,+ and his heart was not complete with* Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. 5  And Solʹo·mon followed after Ashʹto·reth,+ the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, and Milʹcom,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites. 6  And Solʹo·mon did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and he did not follow Jehovah completely* as David his father had done.+7  It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+ 8  That was what he did for all his foreign wives who were making sacrificial smoke and sacrificing to their gods.9  Jehovah became furious at Solʹo·mon, because his heart had inclined away from Jehovah the God of Israel,+ who had appeared to him twice+ 10  and had warned him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods.+ But he did not obey what Jehovah had commanded. 11  Jehovah now said to Solʹo·mon: “Because you have done this and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes as I commanded you, I will surely rip the kingdom away from you, and I will give it to one of your servants.+ 12  However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it in your lifetime. I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

  331. Now Jerʹi·cho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites; no one was leaving and no one was entering.+2  Jehovah then said to Joshua: “See, I have handed over to you Jerʹi·cho and its king and its mighty warriors.+ 3  All you fighting men should march around the city, going around the city once. That is what you should do for six days. 4  Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark. But on the seventh day, you should march around the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns.+ 5  When the ram’s horn is sounded—as soon as you hear the sound* of the horn—all the people should shout a great war cry. Then the wall of the city will fall down flat,+ and the people must go up, each one straight ahead.”6  So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests together and told them: “Take up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests should carry seven ram’s horns before the Ark of Jehovah.”+ 7  Then he told the people: “Move on and march around the city, and the armed troops+ should go ahead of the Ark of Jehovah.” 8  And just as Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before Jehovah went forward and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah was following them. 9  And the armed troops went ahead of the priests who were blowing the horns, and the rear guard followed the Ark as the horns were blown continuously.10  Now Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not shout nor let your voices be heard. Not a word should come out of your mouths until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then shout.” 11  He had the Ark of Jehovah go around the city, going around it once, after which they returned to the camp and spent the night there.12  The next morning Joshua got up early, and the priests took up the Ark+ of Jehovah, 13  and seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns walked before the Ark of Jehovah, continuously blowing the horns. The armed troops were walking ahead of them while the rear guard was following the Ark of Jehovah as the horns were blown continuously. 14  They marched around the city on the second day once, after which they returned to the camp. That was what they did for six days.+15  On the seventh day they got up early, as soon as the dawn broke, and they marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.+ 16  And on the seventh time, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua told the people: “Shout,+ for Jehovah has given you the city! 17  The city and everything in it is to be devoted to destruction;+ it all belongs to Jehovah. Only Raʹhab+ the prostitute may keep living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers we sent out.+ 18  But keep away from what is devoted to destruction,+ so that you do not desire something devoted to destruction and take it,+ making the camp of Israel something devoted to destruction by bringing disaster* on it.+ 19  But all the silver and the gold and the articles of copper and iron are holy to Jehovah.+ They should go into the treasury of Jehovah.”+20  Then the people shouted when the horns were blown.+ As soon as the people heard the sound of the horn and shouted a great war cry, the wall fell down flat.+ After that the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city. 21  They devoted all that was in the city to destruction by the sword, man and woman, young and old, bull, sheep, and donkey.+22  Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land: “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her.”+ 23  So the young spies went in and brought out Raʹhab, along with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all who belonged to her; yes, they brought out her whole family,+ and they brought them safely to a place outside the camp of Israel.24  Then they burned the city and everything in it with fire. But the silver, the gold, and the articles of copper and iron, they gave to the treasury of Jehovah’s house.+ 25  Only Raʹhab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her were spared by Joshua;+ and she lives in Israel to this day,+ because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent out to spy on Jerʹi·cho.+26  At that time Joshua pronounced this oath:* “Cursed be the man before Jehovah who undertakes to rebuild this city of Jerʹi·cho. At the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest he will put up its doors.”+27  So Jehovah was with Joshua,+ and his fame spread through all the earth.+

  334.  @rostamfarikhnehad6391  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  335.  @rostamfarikhnehad6391  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. You Muslim say christians worship three gods in one TRINITY. Let show you Trinity; ONE, allah the black stone in Mekkah direction of Islam prayer. TWO, allah the moon 🌛 during the RAMADAN we look for it and his symbol on all the mosque. THREE, allah it self a god that never appear anywhere. You Muslim say Jesus Christ was a Muslim, when Jesus Christ was on earth why you Muslim didn't come to him and tell him that he is a Muslim. Show Just only one place in the Bible where Jesus Christ is making allahu Akbar. How can you talk to donkeys that way. You Muslim pay people to convert into evil Islam and create them propaganda YouTube channels. We know who is Allah, the coward Satan, the father of all lies and evils. He is the first liar that appears in the garden of Eden and took the form of serpent. He is calls the original Serpent.

There is where [their] weeping and the gnashing of [their] teeth will be.+ Matthew 13: 47-50.            36  Jesus answered:+ “My kingdom is no part of this world.+ If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought  that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.” 37  Therefore Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone that is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” 38  Pilate said to him: “What is truth?”* John 18:36-38. Go in through the narrow gate,o because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. Be on the watch for the false prophets who come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are ravenous wolves. 16  By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22  Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works* in your name?’ 23  And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’ For the Father has affection for the Son and shows him all the things he himself does, and he will show him works greater than these, so that you may marvel.+ 21  For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive,+ so the Son also makes alive whomever he wants to.+ 22  For the Father judges no one at all, but he has entrusted all the judging to the Son,+ 23  so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24  Most truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes the One who sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life. 25  “Most truly I say to you, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live. 26  For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. 27  And he has given him authority to do judging, because he is the Son of man.

John 17;17 So Pilate said to him: “Well, then, are you a king?” Jesus answered: “You yourself are saying that I am a king.+ For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.+ Everyone who is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” John 18:37 Therefore, become imitators of God,+ as beloved children, 2  and go on walking in love,+ just as the Christ also loved us*+ and gave himself for us* as an offering and a sacrifice, a sweet fragrance to God.+3  Let sexual immorality* and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you,+ just as is proper for holy people;+ 4  neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting+—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks.+ 5  For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person*+ or unclean person or greedy person,+ which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.+6  Let no man deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7  Therefore, do not be sharers with them; 8  for you were once darkness, but you are now light+ in connection with the Lord.+ Go on walking as children of light, 9  for the fruitage of the light consists of every sort of goodness and righteousness and truth.+ 10  Keep on making sure of what is acceptable+ to the Lord; 11  and stop sharing in the unfruitful works that belong to the darkness;+ rather, expose them for what they are. 12  For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention. 13  Now all the things that are being exposed* are made evident by the light, for everything that is being made evident is light. 14  Therefore, it is said: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead,+ and the Christ will shine upon you.”+15  So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16  making the best use of your time,*+ because the days are wicked. 17  On this account stop being unreasonable, but keep perceiving what the will of Jehovah* is.+ 18  Also, do not get drunk with wine,+ in which there is debauchery,* but keep getting filled with spirit. 19  Speak to one another* with psalms, praises to God, and spiritual songs, singing+ and accompanying yourselves with music+ in your hearts to Jehovah,*+ 20  always giving thanks+ to our God and Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.+21  Be in subjection to one another+ in fear of Christ. 22  Let wives be in subjection to their husbands+ as to the Lord, 23  because a husband is head of his wife+ just as the Christ is head of the congregation,+ he being a savior of this body. 24  In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, wives should also be to their husbands in everything. 25  Husbands, continue loving your wives,+ just as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up for it,+ 26  in order that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word,+ 27  so that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, without a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things,+ but holy and without blemish.+28  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself, 29  for no man ever hated his own body,* but he feeds and cherishes it, just as the Christ does the congregation, 30  because we are members of his body.+ 31  “For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and he will stick to* his wife, and the two will be one flesh.”+ 32  This sacred secret+ is great. Now I am speaking about Christ and the congregation.+ 33  Nevertheless, each one of you must love his wife+ as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.+ Ephesians 5 NWT

  341.  @rostamfarikhnehad6391  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?

  342.  @rostamfarikhnehad6391  If there is another god apart from Jehovah Almighty, let him to come and tell the future outcome. Here is what happened in the days of prophet Elijah. After some time, in the third year,+ Jehovah’s word came to E·liʹjah, saying: “Go, present yourself to Aʹhab, and I will send rain on the surface of the ground.”+ 2  So E·liʹjah went to present himself to Aʹhab, while the famine was severe+ in Sa·marʹi·a.3  Meanwhile, Aʹhab called O·ba·diʹah, who was over the household. (Now O·ba·diʹah greatly feared Jehovah, 4  and when Jezʹe·bel+ was doing away with* Jehovah’s prophets, O·ba·diʹah took 100 prophets and hid them 50 to a cave, and he supplied them with bread and water.) 5  Aʹhab then said to O·ba·diʹah: “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys.* Perhaps we can find enough grass to keep the horses and mules alive and not have all our animals die.” 6  So they divided between themselves the land they were going to pass through. Aʹhab went alone by one way, and O·ba·diʹah went alone by another way.7  As O·ba·diʹah was on his way, E·liʹjah was there to meet him. At once he recognized him and fell facedown and said: “Is this you, my lord E·liʹjah?”+ 8  He replied to him: “It is I. Go and tell your lord: ‘E·liʹjah is here.’” 9  But he said: “What sin have I committed that you should hand your servant over to Aʹhab to put me to death? 10  As surely as Jehovah your God is living, there is not a nation or a kingdom where my lord has not sent to look for you. After they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.+ 11  Now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ 12  When I depart from you, the spirit of Jehovah will carry you away+ to a place I will not know, and when I tell Aʹhab and he does not find you, he will surely kill me. Yet, your servant has feared Jehovah from his youth. 13  Has my lord not been told what I did when Jezʹe·bel was killing the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid 100 of the prophets of Jehovah by groups of 50 in a cave and kept supplying them bread and water?+ 14  But now you are saying, ‘Go and tell your lord: “E·liʹjah is here.”’ He will certainly kill me.” 15  However, E·liʹjah said: “As surely as Jehovah of armies whom I serve* is living, today I will present myself to him.”16  So O·ba·diʹah went off to meet Aʹhab and told him, and Aʹhab went to meet E·liʹjah.17  As soon as Aʹhab saw E·liʹjah, he said to him: “Is this you, the one bringing great trouble* on Israel?”18  To this he said: “I have not brought trouble on Israel, but you and the house of your father have, by abandoning the commandments of Jehovah and by following the Baʹals.+ 19  And now summon all Israel to me at Mount Carʹmel,+ as well as the 450 prophets of Baʹal and the 400 prophets of the sacred pole,*+ who are eating at the table of Jezʹe·bel.” 20  So Aʹhab sent word among all the people of Israel and collected the prophets together at Mount Carʹmel.21  Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will you be limping between two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the true God, follow him;+ but if Baʹal is, follow him!” But the people did not say a word in answer to him. 22  E·liʹjah then said to the people: “I am the only prophet of Jehovah left,+ while the prophets of Baʹal are 450 men. 23  Let them give us two young bulls, and let them choose one young bull and cut it into pieces and put it on the wood, but they should not put fire to it. I will prepare the other young bull, and I will place it on the wood, but I will not put fire to it. 24  Then you must call on the name of your god,+ and I will call on the name of Jehovah. The God who answers by fire will show that he is the true God.”+ To this all the people answered: “What you say is good.”25  E·liʹjah now said to the prophets of Baʹal: “Choose one young bull and prepare it first, because you are the majority. Then call on the name of your god, but you must not put fire to it.” 26  So they took the young bull that was given to them, prepared it, and kept calling on the name of Baʹal from morning until noon, saying: “O Baʹal, answer us!” But there was no voice and no one answering.+ They kept limping around the altar that they had made. 27  About noon E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call out at the top of your voice! After all, he is a god!+ Perhaps he is deep in thought or he has gone to relieve himself.* Or maybe he is asleep and someone needs to wake him up!” 28  They were calling out at the top of their voice and cutting themselves with daggers and lances, according to their custom, until their blood gushed out all over them. 29  Noon was past and they continued in a frenzy* until the time the evening grain offering is presented, but there was no voice and no one answering; no one was paying attention.+30  At length E·liʹjah said to all the people: “Approach me.” So all the people approached him. Then he repaired the altar of Jehovah that had been torn down.+ 31  E·liʹjah then took 12 stones, corresponding to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah’s word had come, saying: “Israel will be your name.”+ 32  With the stones he built an altar+ in the name of Jehovah. Then he made a trench all around the altar, an area large enough to sow with two seah measures* of seed. 33  After that he put the pieces of wood in order, cut the young bull into pieces, and placed it on the wood.+ He now said: “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the pieces of wood.” 34  Then he said: “Do it again.” So they did it again. Once more he said: “Do it a third time.” So they did it a third time. 35  And the water ran all around the altar, and he also filled the trench with water.36  About the time when the evening grain offering is presented,+ E·liʹjah the prophet stepped forward and said: “O Jehovah, the God of Abraham,+ Isaac,+ and Israel, today let it be known that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and that it is by your word that I have done all these things.+ 37  Answer me, O Jehovah! Answer me so that this people may know that you, Jehovah, are the true God and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”+38  At that the fire of Jehovah fell from above and consumed the burnt offering,+ the pieces of wood, the stones, and the dust, and it licked up the water from the trench.+ 39  When all the people saw it, they immediately fell facedown and said: “Jehovah is the true God! Jehovah is the true God!” 40  Then E·liʹjah said to them: “Seize the prophets of Baʹal! Do not let a single one of them escape!” At once they seized them, and E·liʹjah brought them down to the stream* of Kiʹshon+ and slaughtered them there.+41  E·liʹjah now said to Aʹhab: “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy downpour.”+ 42  So Aʹhab went up to eat and drink, while E·liʹjah went up to the top of Carʹmel and crouched on the ground, keeping his face between his knees.+ 43  Then he said to his attendant: “Go up, please, and look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said: “There is nothing at all.” Seven times E·liʹjah said, “Go back.” 44  The seventh time his attendant said: “Look! There is a small cloud like a man’s hand ascending out of the sea.” He now said: “Go, say to Aʹhab, ‘Hitch up the chariot! Go down so that the downpour may not detain you!’” 45  Meanwhile, the sky grew dark with clouds, the wind blew, and a heavy downpour fell;+ and Aʹhab kept riding and made his way to Jezʹre·el.+ 46  But the hand of Jehovah came on E·liʹjah, and he wrapped his garment around* his hips and ran ahead of Aʹhab all the way to Jezʹre·el.

  343.  @rostamfarikhnehad6391  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

I will rip it out of the hand of your son,+ 13  but I will not rip away the entire kingdom.+ One tribe I will give to your son,+ for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”+14  Jehovah then raised up a resister against Solʹo·mon,+ Haʹdad the Eʹdom·ite, of the royal family of Eʹdom.+ 15  When David defeated Eʹdom,+ Joʹab the chief of the army went up to bury the slain, and he tried to strike down every male in Eʹdom. 16  (For Joʹab and all Israel stayed there for six months until he had done away with* every male in Eʹdom.) 17  But Haʹdad fled with some of his father’s Eʹdom·ite servants, and they went to Egypt; Haʹdad was then a young boy. 18  So they set out from Midʹi·an and came to Paʹran. They took men with them from Paʹran+ and came to Egypt, to Pharʹaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, assigned him a food allowance, and gave him land. 19  Haʹdad found favor in the eyes of Pharʹaoh, so much so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, Tahʹpe·nes the queen.* 20  In time the sister of Tahʹpe·nes bore him a son, Ge·nuʹbath, and Tahʹpe·nes brought him up* in the house of Pharʹaoh, and Ge·nuʹbath remained in the house of Pharʹaoh among the sons of Pharʹaoh.21  Haʹdad heard in Egypt that David had been laid to rest with his forefathers+ and that Joʹab the chief of the army had died.+ So Haʹdad said to Pharʹaoh: “Send me away, so that I may go to my own land.” 22  But Pharʹaoh said to him: “What have you lacked with me that you now seek to go to your own land?” To this he said: “Nothing, but please send me away.”23  God also raised up against Solʹo·mon another resister,+ Reʹzon the son of E·liʹa·da, who had fled from his lord, Had·ad·eʹzer+ the king of Zoʹbah. 24  He gathered men to himself and became chief of a marauder band when David defeated* them.+ So they went to Damascus+ and settled there and began reigning in Damascus. 25  And he became a resister of Israel all the days of Solʹo·mon, adding to the harm done by Haʹdad, and he abhorred Israel while he reigned over Syria.26  And there was Jer·o·boʹam+ the son of Neʹbat, an Eʹphra·im·ite from Zerʹe·dah, a servant of Solʹo·mon’s+ whose mother’s name was Ze·ruʹah, a widow. He too began to rebel* against the king.+ 27  This is why he rebelled against the king: Solʹo·mon had built the Mound*+ and had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+ 28  Now this Jer·o·boʹam was a capable man. When Solʹo·mon saw that the young man was a hard worker, he made him overseer+ over all the compulsory service of the house of Joseph. 29  During that time Jer·o·boʹam went out from Jerusalem, and the prophet A·hiʹjah+ the Shiʹlo·nite found him on the road. A·hiʹjah was wearing a new garment, and the two of them were by themselves in the field. 30  A·hiʹjah took hold of the new garment he was wearing and ripped it into 12 pieces. 31  Then he said to Jer·o·boʹam:“Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what Jehovah the God of Israel says: ‘Here I am ripping the kingdom out of the hand of Solʹo·mon, and I will give you ten tribes.+ 32  But one tribe will remain his+ for the sake of my servant David+ and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.+ 33  I will do this because they have left me+ and are bowing down to Ashʹto·reth the goddess of the Si·doʹni·ans, to Cheʹmosh the god of Moʹab, and to Milʹcom the god of the Amʹmon·ites, and they have not walked in my ways by doing what is right in my eyes and observing my statutes and my judgments as his father David did. 34  But I will not take the entire kingdom out of his hand, and I will keep him as a chieftain for all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant whom I chose,+ because he obeyed my commandments and my statutes. 35  But I will take the kingship out of the hand of his son and give it to you, that is, ten tribes.+ 36  To his son I will give one tribe, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself as the place to put my name. 37  I will take you, and you will reign over all that you desire,* and you will become king over Israel. 38  And if you obey all that I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by obeying my statutes and my commandments, just as David my servant did,+ I will also be with you. I will build you a lasting house, just as I have built for David,+ and I will give you Israel. 39  And I will humiliate the offspring of David because of this,+ but not always.’”+40  So Solʹo·mon tried to put Jer·o·boʹam to death, but Jer·o·boʹam fled to Egypt, to Shiʹshak+ the king of Egypt,+ and he remained in Egypt until Solʹo·mon’s death.41  As for the rest of the history of Solʹo·mon, all that he did and his wisdom, is it not written in the book of the history of Solʹo·mon?+ 42  The length* of Solʹo·mon’s reign in Jerusalem over all Israel was 40 years. 43  Then Solʹo·mon was laid to rest with his forefathers and was buried in the City of David his father; and his son Re·ho·boʹam+ became king in his place.

Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

  347. Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  349.  @yehia4638  This is how things will be in the paradise, because the paradise is coming to you not you going to paradise. I have let myself be searched for by those who did not ask for me;I have let myself be found by those who did not look for me.+I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’ to a nation that was not calling on my name.+ 2  I have spread out my hands all day long to a stubborn people,+To those walking in the way that is not good,+Following their own thoughts;+ 3  A people who constantly offend me to my face,+Sacrificing in gardens+ and making sacrificial smoke on bricks. 4  They sit among graves,+And they pass the night in hidden places,*Eating the flesh of pigs,+And the broth of foul* things is in their vessels.+ 5  They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not approach me,For I am holier than you.’*These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire burning all day long. 6  Look! It is written before me;I will not stand still,But I will repay them,+I will repay them in full measure* 7  For their errors and for the errors of their forefathers as well,”+ says Jehovah.“Because they have made sacrificial smoke on the mountainsAnd have reproached me on the hills,+I will first measure out their wages in full.”* 8  This is what Jehovah says:“Just as when new wine is found in a cluster of grapesAnd someone says, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is some good* in it,’So I will do for the sake of my servants;I will not destroy them all.+ 9  I will bring out of Jacob an offspring*And out of Judah the one to inherit my mountains;+My chosen ones will take possession of it,And my servants will reside there.+10  Sharʹon+ will become a pasture for sheepAnd the Valley* of Aʹchor+ a resting-place for cattle,For my people who search for me.11  But you are among those forsaking Jehovah,+Those forgetting my holy mountain,+Those setting a table for the god of Good Luck,And those filling up cups of mixed wine for the god of Destiny.12  So I will destine you for the sword,+And all of you will bow down to be slaughtered,+Because I called, but you did not answer,I spoke, but you did not listen;+You kept doing what was bad in my eyes,And you chose what displeased me.”+13  Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says:“Look! My servants will eat, but you will go hungry.+Look! My servants will drink,+ but you will go thirsty.Look! My servants will rejoice,+ but you will suffer shame.+14  Look! My servants will shout joyfully because of the good condition of the heart,But you will cry out because of the pain of heartAnd you will wail because of a broken spirit.15  You will leave behind a name that my chosen ones will use as a curse,And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put each of you to death,But his own servants he will call by another name;+16  So that anyone who seeks a blessing for himself in the earthWill be blessed by the God of truth,*And anyone who swears an oath in the earthWill swear by the God of truth.*+For the former distresses* will be forgotten;They will be concealed from my eyes.+17  For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth;+And the former things will not be called to mind,*Nor will they come up into the heart.+18  So exult and be joyful forever in what I am creating.For look! I am creating Jerusalem a cause for joyAnd her people a cause for exultation.+19  And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exult in my people;+No more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or a cry of distress.”+20  “No more will there be an infant from that place who lives but a few days,Nor an old man who fails to live out his days.For anyone who dies at a hundred will be considered a mere boy,And the sinner will be cursed, even though he is a hundred years of age.*21  They will build houses and live in them,+And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.+22  They will not build for someone else to inhabit,Nor will they plant for others to eat.For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree,+And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.23  They will not toil* for nothing,*+Nor will they bear children for distress,Because they are the offspring* made up of those blessed by Jehovah,+And their descendants with them.+24  Even before they call out, I will answer;While they are yet speaking, I will hear.25  The wolf and the lamb will feed together,The lion will eat straw just like the bull,+And the serpent’s food will be dust.They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain,”+ says Jehovah.

  352. Hi Sir, Who is Allah? The dream of Mahummad with Angel Gabriel. Who is Mahummad? The person who dream of Allah with Angel Gabriel. For me one part is the black stone in Mecca and the other part is the Moon. Why? When we pray we face the direction of Mecca, on our Mosques the Moon symbolize allah. Why allah never speak? We Muslims speak for allah. Is there salvation for everlasting life in Islam? No Sir, Islam is for our brain entertainment. Is there any proof or evidence of that? No Sir. When did this happened? In the 6th century after Christ Jesus. After the dream he raped Aisha at 6 years old and beheaded many Christians and Jews. Terrorize unbelievers. Bring Christians and Jews to Islam with chain in their necks as slaves to allah. That Muslims are special people to allah and that they go and dominate the world. Do you like to see people's head been chop off? Allah and Muhammad like to see some people without head and we Muslims do that for them. He died of poisoning. Has anyone ever seen Allah or hear about him? No Sir. Was just a dream. So, you are all worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. So Islam is based on a dream? Yes Sir. Chapter 33 number 50 Mahummad own slaves But some Imans told us that there are scientific evidence. Really? Who are scientist? Human being. What do they say about universe? That it was a big bang theory Gas. Is that true? No Sir. What about human being? They say we are evolution, that grows like plants. Is that true? No Sir. I have my father and my mother. Do they believe in God Yahweh? No Sir, they do research. So, if I understand, you Muslims are worshipping the dream of Muhommad? Yes Sir. I'm sorry to hear that. We take some staffs from the Bible to make it longer. Is there any COVENANT No Sir, we don't know what is that. The qu'ran says allah is a deceiver. Dad, why are we worshipping the dream of Muhommad? My son is because we are goats https://youtu.be/shH-bhbkkx4 https://youtu.be/uxn0QYtWMts

  353.  @deesiile5671  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  354.  @deesiile5671  13  At that time some who were present reported to him about the Gal·i·leʹans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2  In reply he said to them: “Do you think that those Gal·i·leʹans were worse sinners than all other Gal·i·leʹans because they have suffered these things? 3  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed. 4  Or those 18 on whom the tower in Si·loʹam fell, killing them—do you think that they had greater guilt than all other men who live in Jerusalem? 5  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all be destroyed, as they were.”6  Then he went on to tell this illustration: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none. 7  Then he said to the vinedresser, ‘Here it is three years that I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, but have found none. Cut it down! Why should it keep the ground useless?’ 8  In reply he said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for one more year until I dig around it and put on manure. 9  If it produces fruit in the future, well and good; but if not, then cut it down.’”10  Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11  And look! a woman was there who had had a spirit of weakness for 18 years; and she was bent double and was unable to straighten up at all. 12  When he saw her, Jesus addressed her and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.” 13  And he laid his hands on her, and instantly she straightened up and began to glorify God. 14  But in response the presiding officer of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus did the cure on the Sabbath, said to the crowd: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; so come and be cured on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15  However, the Lord answered him: “Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the Sabbath untie his bull or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to give it something to drink? 16  Should not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham and whom Satan held bound for 18 years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?” 17  Well, when he said these things, all his opposers began to feel shame, but the entire crowd began to rejoice at all the glorious things he did

  355.  @defitoash1201  Now as Jesus was departing from the temple, his disciples approached to show him the buildings of the temple. 2  In response he said to them: “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, by no means will a stone be left here upon a stone and not be thrown down.”+3  While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence*+ and of the conclusion of the system of things?”*+4  In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you,+ 5  for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.+ 6  You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet.+7  “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,+ and there will be food shortages+ and earthquakes in one place after another.+ 8  All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.9  “Then people will hand you over to tribulation+ and will kill you,+ and you will be hated by all the nations on account of my name.+ 10  Then, too, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. 11  Many false prophets will arise and mislead many;+ 12  and because of the increasing of lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold. 13  But the one who has endured* to the end will be saved.+ 14  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations,+ and then the end will come.15  “Therefore, when you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken about by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place+ (let the reader use discernment), 16  then let those in Ju·deʹa begin fleeing to the mountains.+ 17  Let the man on the housetop not come down to take the goods out of his house, 18  and let the man in the field not return to pick up his outer garment. 19  Woe to the pregnant women and those nursing a baby in those days! 20  Keep praying that your flight may not occur in wintertime nor on the Sabbath day; 21  for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22  In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+23  “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’+ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it.+ 24  For false Christs and false prophets+ will arise and will perform great signs and wonders so as to mislead,+ if possible, even the chosen ones. 25  Look! I have forewarned you. 26  Therefore, if people say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.+ 27  For just as the lightning comes out of the east and shines over to the west, so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 28  Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.+29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened,+ and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.+ 30  Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief,+ and they will see the Son of man+ coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.+ 31  And he will send out his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity.+32  “Now learn this illustration from the fig tree: Just as soon as its young branch grows tender and sprouts its leaves, you know that summer is near.+ 33  Likewise also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors.+ 34  Truly I say to you that this generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen. 35  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.+36  “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,+ neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.+ 37  For just as the days of Noah were,+ so the presence* of the Son of man will be.+ 38  For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,+ 39  and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away,+ so the presence of the Son of man will be. 40  Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken along and the other abandoned. 41  Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken along and the other abandoned.+ 42  Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.+43  “But know one thing: If the householder had known in what watch* the thief was coming,+ he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.+ 44  On this account, you too prove yourselves ready,+ because the Son of man is coming at an hour that you do not think to be it.45  “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46  Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47  Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.48  “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49  and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50  the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51  and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites.

For her hair is given to her instead of a covering. 16  However, if anyone wants to argue in favor of some other custom, we have no other, nor do the congregations of God.

  357.  @deesiile5671  In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary. He kept making signs to them but remained speechless. 23  When the days of his holy service* were completed, he went off to his home.24  Some days later Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself secluded for five months, saying: 25  “This is how Jehovah* has dealt with me in these days. He has turned his attention to me to take away my reproach among men.”+26  In her sixth month, the angel Gaʹbri·el+ was sent from God to a city of Galʹi·lee named Nazʹa·reth, 27  to a virgin+ promised in marriage* to a man named Joseph of David’s house, and the name of the virgin was Mary.+ 28  And coming in, the angel said to her: “Greetings, you highly favored one, Jehovah* is with you.” 29  But she was deeply disturbed at his words and tried to understand what kind of greeting this might be. 30  So the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31  And look! you will become pregnant* and give birth to a son,+ and you are to name him Jesus.+ 32  This one will be great+ and will be called Son of the Most High,+ and Jehovah* God will give him the throne of David his father,+ 33  and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.”+34  But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?”+ 35  In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you,+ and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy,+ God’s Son.+ 36  And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman; 37  for no declaration* will be impossible for God.”+. Luke 1. Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son,+ whom he appointed heir of all things,+ and through whom he made the systems of things.*+ 3  He is the reflection of God’s glory+ and the exact representation of his very being,+ and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins,+ he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.+ 4  So he has become better than the angels+ to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.+5  For example, to which one of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; today I have become your father”?+ And again: “I will become his father, and he will become my son”?+ 6  But when he again brings his Firstborn+ into the inhabited earth, he says: “And let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”*7  Also, he says about the angels: “He makes his angels spirits, and his ministers*+ a flame of fire.”+ 8  But about the Son, he says: “God is your throne+ forever and ever, and the scepter of your Kingdom is the scepter of uprightness.* 9  You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you+ with the oil of exultation more than your companions.”+ 10  And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11  They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12  and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”+13  But about which of the angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”?+ 14  Are they not all spirits for holy service,*+ sent out to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1.

  358.  @defitoash1201  Then Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness+ 2  for 40 days, being tempted by the Devil.+ And he ate nothing in those days, so when they had ended, he felt hungry. 3  At this the Devil said to him: “If you are a son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.” 4  But Jesus answered him: “It is written, ‘Man must not live on bread alone.’”+5  So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.+ 6  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me,+ and I give it to whomever I wish. 7  If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will all be yours.” 8  In reply Jesus said to him: “It is written, ‘It is Jehovah* your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”+9  He then led him into Jerusalem and stationed him on the battlement* of the temple and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down from here,+ 10  for it is written, ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you, to preserve you,’ 11  and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”+ 12  In answer Jesus said to him: “It is said, ‘You must not put Jehovah* your God to the test.’”+ 13  So the Devil, having finished all the temptation, departed from him until another convenient time.+14  Now Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galʹi·lee.+ And good reports about him spread throughout all the surrounding country. 15  Also, he began to teach in their synagogues, and he was held in honor by all.16  He then went to Nazʹa·reth,+ where he had been brought up, and according to his custom on the Sabbath day, he entered the synagogue+ and stood up to read. 17  So the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18  “Jehovah’s* spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor. He sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away free,+ 19  to preach Jehovah’s* acceptable year.”+ 20  With that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently fixed on him. 21  Then he began to say to them: “Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.”+22  And they all began to give favorable witness about him and to be amazed at the gracious words coming out of his mouth,+ and they were saying: “This is a son of Joseph, is it not?”+ 23  At this he said to them: “No doubt you will apply this saying to me, ‘Physician, cure yourself. Do also here in your home territory the things we have heard were done in Ca·perʹna·um.’”+ 24  So he said: “Truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his home territory.+ 25  For instance, I tell you in truth: There were many widows in Israel in the days of E·liʹjah when heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and a great famine came on all the land.+ 26  Yet E·liʹjah was sent to none of those women, but only to a widow in Zarʹe·phath in the land of Siʹdon.+ 27  Also, there were many lepers in Israel in the time of E·liʹsha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed,* only Naʹa·man the Syrian.”+ 28  Now all those hearing these things in the synagogue became filled with anger,+ 29  and they rose up and rushed him outside the city, and they led him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, in order to throw him down headlong. 30  But he went right through their midst and continued on his way.+31  He then went down to Ca·perʹna·um, a city of Galʹi·lee. And he was teaching them on the Sabbath,+ 32  and they were astounded at his way of teaching,+ because he spoke with authority. 33  Now in the synagogue there was a man with a spirit, an unclean demon, and he shouted with a loud voice:+ 34  “Ah! What have we to do with you, Jesus the Naz·a·reneʹ?+ Did you come to destroy us? I know exactly who you are, the Holy One of God.”+ 35  But Jesus rebuked it, saying: “Be silent, and come out of him.” So after throwing the man down in their midst, the demon came out of him without hurting him. 36  At this they were all astonished and began to say to one another: “What kind of speech is this? For with authority and power he orders the unclean spirits, and out they come!” 37  So the news about him kept spreading into every corner of the surrounding country.38  After leaving the synagogue, he entered into Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they asked him to help her.+ 39  So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Instantly she got up and began ministering to them.40  But when the sun was setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them.+ 41  Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: “You are the Son of God.”+ But rebuking them, he would not permit them to speak,+ for they knew him to be the Christ.+42  However, at daybreak he departed and went to an isolated place.+ But the crowds began searching* for him and came to where he was, and they tried to keep him from going away from them. 43  But he said to them: “I must also declare the good news of the Kingdom of God to other cities, because for this I was sent.”+ 44  So he went on preaching in the synagogues of Ju·deʹa.

  359. commend you because in all things you remember me and you are holding fast the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3  But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ;+ in turn, the head of a woman is the man;+ in turn, the head of the Christ is God.+ 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head shames his head; 5  but every woman who prays or prophesies+ with her head uncovered shames her head, for it is one and the same as if she were a woman with a shaved head. 6  For if a woman does not cover herself, she should have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or shaved, she should be covered.7  For a man should not have his head covered, as he is God’s image+ and glory, but the woman is man’s glory. 8  For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.+ 9  And what is more, man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake of the man.+ 10  That is why the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.+11  Besides, in connection with the Lord, neither is woman separate from man nor is man separate from woman. 12  For just as the woman is from the man,+ so also the man is through the woman; but all things are from God.+ 13  Judge for yourselves: Is it fitting for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14  Does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man, 15  but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her instead of a covering. 16  However, if anyone wants to argue in favor of some other custom, we have no other, nor do the congregations of God.

  360.  @ishrakalvi4446  Who wrote the Qur’an? You may think the answer to this is obvious: Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. And the crucial difference between Muslims and non-Muslims is whether they believe he was inspired by God to do it. But if you did give that answer, you’d be completely wrong. For one thing, not even Muslims think that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an. They believe that God wrote it and then revealed it to Muhammad. A technicality you might think. But actually, they don’t even believe that Muhammad, once it had been revealed to him, wrote it down either. He spoke it, preached it, recited it (qur’an literally translates as ‘recitation’). And those around him, his followers, then memorised it, and some noted it down on anything to hand, like palm leaves and stones. So how did it become a book? According to Islamic tradition, not until after Muhammad had died (in AD 632), under the first caliph Abu Bakr, were these parts all gathered together and arranged into a book. The scribe Zaid was charged with the job of locating all the parts and compiling them into one volume. And around 20 years later, under the third caliph Uthman, the same scribe was charged with gathering all the variant versions that still existed, determining the correct one and burning the rest. You might think this haphazard process is not one which would have inspired confidence that the final product contained the authentic words, and only the authentic words, of Muhammad. But this is the official story, and Muslims seem happy enough with it. What do modern scholars think of this story? Not very much, as it happens. There are all sorts of potential issues with the traditional Islamic account, which is derived from sources only compiled centuries after Muhammad. Perhaps the most significant, and worth leading with here, is that there is mounting evidence that the Qur’an, or at least the bulk of it, predates Muhammad. A number of manuscript fragments have been found which can be dated (by carbon dating of parchment) to well before the time Muhammad was active. It is also packed with agricultural and geographical references which are out of place in the arid Arabian Peninsula, and written in a dialect of Arabic which even early Muslim scholars agreed was not the dialect of Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca. Current thinking is still far from settled, but some evidence suggests it may have originated in the southern Levant or northern Arabia

  361.  @Ahmed-un4up  Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Carve out for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones,+ and I will write on the tablets the words that appeared on the first tablets,+ which you shattered.+ 2  Get ready for the morning, as you will go up in the morning to Mount Siʹnai and station yourself before me there on the top of the mountain.+ 3  But nobody may go up with you, and nobody else should be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds should graze in front of that mountain.”+4  So Moses carved out two tablets of stone like the first ones and got up early in the morning and went up Mount Siʹnai, just as Jehovah had commanded him, and he took the two tablets of stone in his hand. 5  Then Jehovah came down+ in the cloud and stationed himself with him there and declared the name of Jehovah.+ 6  Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7  showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”+8  Moses hurried to bow low to the earth and prostrate himself. 9  Then he said: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, O Jehovah, then please, Jehovah, go along with us in our midst,+ although we are an obstinate* people,+ and forgive our error and our sin,+ and take us as your own possession.” 10  In turn he said: “Here I am making a covenant: Before all your people, I will do wonderful things that have never been done* in all the earth or among all the nations,+ and all the people among whom you live will see the work of Jehovah, for it is an awe-inspiring thing that I am doing with you.+11  “Pay attention to what I am commanding you today.+ Here I am driving out from before you the Amʹor·ites, the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites.+ 12  Be careful that you do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going,+ or it may prove to be a snare among you.+ 13  But you are to pull down their altars, you are to shatter their sacred pillars, and their sacred poles* you are to cut down.+ 14  You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+ 15  Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, because when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods,+ someone will invite you and you will eat from his sacrifice.+ 16  Then you will surely take some of their daughters for your sons,+ and their daughters will prostitute themselves to th

  362. To Muslims and those propagandists who spend their time on YouTube writing trash, those reverted Christian now Muslim or those that love the voice of allahu Akbar and saying you shed tears because you listen to deception from Muslims. Listen to what Jesus Christ said regarding his followers.  27  My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.+ 28  I give them everlasting life,+ and they will by no means ever be destroyed, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.+ 29  What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of the Father.+ 30  I and the Father are one.” John 10:26-30 Go in through the narrow gate, because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; 14  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it. You Muslim say christians worship three gods in one TRINITY. Let show you Trinity; ONE allah the black stone in Mekkah direction of Islam prayer. TWO allah the moon 🌛 during the RAMADAN we look for it and his symbol on all the mosque. THREE allah it self a god that never appear anywhere. You Muslim say Jesus Christ was a Muslim, when Jesus Christ was on earth why you Muslim didn't come to him and tell him that he is a Muslim. Just only one place in the Bible where Jesus Christ is making allahu Akbar. How can you talk to donkeys that way.

  363. In the days of Herod,*+ king of Ju·deʹa, there was a priest named Zech·a·riʹah of the division of A·biʹjah.+ His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6  They both were righteous before God, walking blamelessly in accord with all the commandments and legal requirements of Jehovah.* 7  But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years.8  Now as he was serving as priest in the assignment of his division+ before God, 9  according to the established practice* of the priesthood it became his turn to offer incense+ when he entered into the sanctuary of Jehovah.*+ 10  And the entire multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of offering incense. 11  Jehovah’s* angel appeared to him, standing at the right side of the incense altar. 12  But Zech·a·riʹah became troubled at the sight, and he was overcome with fear. 13  However, the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zech·a·riʹah, because your supplication has been favorably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to name him John.+ 14  You will have joy and great gladness, and many will rejoice over his birth,+ 15  for he will be great in the sight of Jehovah.*+ But he must drink no wine or any alcoholic drink at all,+ and he will be filled with holy spirit even from before birth,*+ 16  and he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Jehovah* their God.+ 17  Also, he will go ahead of him with E·liʹjah’s spirit and power,+ to turn back the hearts of fathers to children+ and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, in order to get ready for Jehovah* a prepared people.”+18  Zech·a·riʹah said to the angel: “How can I be sure of this? For I am old, and my wife is well along in years.” 19  In reply the angel said to him: “I am Gaʹbri·el,+ who stands near before God,+ and I was sent to speak with you and to declare this good news to you. 20  But look! you will be silent and unable to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their appointed time.” 21  Meanwhile, the people continued waiting for Zech·a·riʹah, and they were surprised that he delayed so long in the sanctuary. 22  When he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they perceived that he had just seen a supernatural sight* in the sanctuary.
