Sunday Bible lesson

 

The book of Revelation. It starts with an introductory chapter about the subject and who the letter is too. It lets us know that the subject matter is from God handed down to an angel to John. If you read the letter and obey the commands within it, you will be blessed. It lets us know that we'll be Kings and priests to Jesus. And it lets us know that the letter is 2 7 churches and the names of the seven churches. Then the last third of the chapter shows a glorified image of Jesus with seven stars in his hand and seven candlesticks surrounding him. Then the last verse is a summarizing verse that focuses on the Stars, the Angels, the candlesticks, and the churches.

In chapters 2 and 3 God gives a verbal report card to each of the seven churches. Two of the churches get a good report. Four of the churches get reprimanded to do better. The last Church gets a scathing reprimand for doing a terrible job.

Chapters 4 through 21 have various prophecies and warnings.

Chapter 22 is the last chapter. It doesn't completely end on a high note; that seems to be chapter 21. It starts starts off talking about a tree that is on either side of a river. The tree bears 12 manners of fruit every month and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the Nations. This may be an eternal role of this tree. This may go on for all of eternity. Next people serve God and some of the eternal Kingdom is explained. Then John reminds us that it's a good idea to obey the prophecies in the book. Then John falls down to worship the angel who is sharing all this with him. The angel reprimands him for the second time. The angel insists that John stop worshiping him, because they are both fellow servants. Then there are some more warnings about what not to do. The Bible ends with; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all amen.

God

  Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...

iniquity of the Amorites

  Genesis Previous Chapter Gen.15 [ 1 ] After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. ... [ 13 ] And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [ 14 ] And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [ 15 ] And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. [ 16 ] But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.   This implies that the iniquity of the Amorites has begun, and will continue 400 years before the elite army of God's priests return from Egypt to slaughter every living thing. Since the old testament is for our examples, we can make a guess at when Christ will return. The recent round ...

pixel 2 XL camera focus

  For almost a year the camera focus has been irritating at times. Especially when taking close up pictures. The camera would focus on stuff that was further away because it took up more of the field of view. Then finally this morning the thought occurred, why not click on what you want in focus and see what happens. And here are the results.   Notice June 13 is out of focus.   By clicking on 13 the focus automatically changes and then take the picture.   I'm hopeful that Jesus will figure out some way to get those Google guys into heaven.    Here is an example of a fantastic picture ruined by focus problems.    Armed with the new knowledge of resetting the focus more fantastic pictures can be produced.
