Prayer

  1 Cor. 14: 13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an  unknown  tongue pray that he may interpret.  14 For if I pray in an  unknown  tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.  15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.  16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?  17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.  18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:  19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that  by my voice  I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an  unknown  tongue.   I start from here because this is our instruction for today.   Let’s look back and watch things go haywire.

Customs 2

Isa 40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins. Many have wondered what this means. In biblical times if you declared bankruptcy they (elders at the gate) would write down all your debt on a piece of paper and hang it on the wall so everyone could see exactly what you owed. then lets say a family friend comes along maybe even someone you don't know and see's it and he considers it a disgrace so he pays it for you so the elders fold the paper in half and write your name on it so everyone can see your debt is paid in full. Genesis 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; Lot sat in the gate means he was a city elder a judge in the civil court's 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, t

Nehemiah 3 and 4

1 Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel. 2 The men of Jericho built the adjoining section, and Zakkur son of Imri built next to them. “the wall.” The Hebrew text reads “it,” but that refers to the wall going away from the gate . REV a. They built … built … built : Nehemiah 3 is all about work - how individuals pitched in and did the work together, coordinated and led by Nehemiah. 3The Fish Gate was rebuilt by the sons of Hassenaah. They laid its beams and put its doors and bolts and bars in place. 4Meremoth son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, repaired the next section. Next to him Meshullam son of Berekiah, the son of Meshezabel, made repairs, and next to him Zadok son of Baana also made repairs. 5 The next section was repaired by the men of Tekoa, but their nobles would not p

Nehemiah 1,2

All quotes are from the NIV unless otherwise noted This book should be the next to the last book of the Hebrews Scriptures. It was written about two years before the book of Malachi so about 432 before the birth of Christ. Different people or groups have different timelines based on the birth of Christ when did it happen?  There is a growing number of people who believe that Christ was born in September of three BC because of the alignment of the stars in that year. Some believe it happened in 5 BC because of a slight error when the original calendar was put together in the dark ages. Be that as it may remember it was the next to the last book written.  1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. “Chislev.” The ninth month
