7 / 5 / 2025

THUS the heaven and the earth, and all the host of them were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that the LORD God / O LORD made the earth and the heaven.Genesis 2:1-4

                                    Before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God / O LORD had not caused it to rain on the earth and there was no man to till the ground; But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground / earth.  And the LORD God / O LORD formed man / Adam of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostril the breath of life; and man / Adam became a living being. Genesis 2:5-7 

                                The LORD God / The LORD our God / LORD planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man / His Christ / This is the likeness of the glory of the LORD / the new wine whom He had formed. Genesis 2:8

                                        And out of the ground the LORD God / O LORD made every tree grow that is pleasnt to the sight and good for food. The tree of life which was also in the midst of the garden. and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four river heads. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirits the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of The name of the second river Gihon; it is the one which goes around whole land of cush. The name of the third river is  Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The forth river is Euphrates. Genesis 2:9-14

                                   Then the LORD God / O LORD took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And  the LORD God / O LORD commanded the man, saying," Of every tree of the garden you may feerly eat; But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall die." Genesis 2:15-17

                                    And the LORD God / O LORD said, "It is not good that man / Adam should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. Out of the ground the LORD God / O LORD formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam / man to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam / man call each living creature, that was its name. So Adam / man gave names to all the cattle, to the bird of the field. But for Adam / man there was not found a helper comparable to him. And the LORD God / O LORD caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam / man, and he slept; and took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.  Then the rib which the LORD God / O LORD had taken from man / Adam He made a woman, and brought her to the man. And Adam / man said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked (Adam and the woman / Eve), the man and his wife / Woman / The woman and were not ashamed. GENESIS 2:18-25 

                                              NOW the serpent / Satan / a thief and a robber / the ruler of demoms / death was more cunning than any beast  of the field which the LORD God / O LORD had made. And he said to the woman / Eve, "Has God indeed said, `You shall not eat of every tree of the garden; And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.` "Then the serpent said to the woman / Eve, "You will not surely die. "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woman / Eve saw that ther tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also give her husband / Adam with her, and he / Adam ate. Then the eyes of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves covering. And they heard the sound of the LORD God / O LORD walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam / man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God / O LORD among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God / O LORD called to Adam / man and said to him, " Where are you?"  So he / Adam said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I hid myself." And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I command you that you should not eat?" Genesis 3:1-11

                                       Then the man said, "The woman / Woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I eat." Genesis 3:12

                                         And the LORD God / O LORD said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" Genesis 3:13

                                  The woman / Woman said, "The serpent / Milcom / The theif decieved me, and I eat" Genesis 3:13

                                So the LORD God / O LORD said to the serpent / Satan / death / the ruler of the demons / a thief and a robber: "Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat the dust all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you / Satan and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel."  To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." And to Adam / man He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, `You shall not eat of it: "Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both throns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you are taken; for the dust you are  and to dust you shall return." And Adam / man called his wife`s name Eve, because she was mother of all living. Also for Adam / man and his wife / Eve the LORD God / O LORD made tunics of skin, and clothing them. Genesis 3:14-21

                    Then the LORD God / O LORD, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand  and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" - Therefore the LORD God / O LORD sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man; and placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. GENESIS 3:22-24

                                      For Solomen went after Ashtoreth the goddess of Sidonians, and after Milcom / The sepent / Thief the abomination of the Ammonites.1 Kings11:5

                                         Because they have forsaken Me, and worshippd Ashtoreth and goddess of Sidonians,Chemosh the god of Moabites and Milcom the god of the people of Ammom /  hireling and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statues and My judgments, as did his father David. 1 KIngs 11:33 

                                           Then the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerosalem whichwere on the south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomen king of Israel had builtfor Ahtoreth the abominationof the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites and for Milcom /  The serpent / The  thief the abomination of the people of Ammon.2 Kings23:13

                                               AGAINST the Ammonites. Thus says the LORD: " Has Israel no sons ? Has he no heir ? Why then Milcom / The serpent / The thief inherit Gad, and his people dwell in its cities? Therefore behold, the days are coming say the LORD, "That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it shall be a desolate mound, and he villages shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance, "says the LORD.  "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ali plundered! Cry, you daughter of Rabbah, gird yourselves with sackcloth! Lament and run to and fro by the walls; for Milcom shall go into captivity with his priests and his princes together. Why do you boast in the valley, O backsliding daughter? Who trusted in her treasures, saying, 'Who will come against me ?' Behold, I will bring fear upon you, "says the Lord GOD of hosts," From all those who are around you; you shall be driven out, everyone  headlong, and no one will gather those who wander off. But afterward I will bring back the captives of the people of Ammon, "says the LORD. Against Edom. Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished? Flee, turn back, dwel in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I will being the calmity of Esau upon him, the time that I will punish him. If grape - gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, would they not destroy until they have enough? But I have made Esau bare; I have uncovered is secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself. His descendants are plundered, his brethren and his neighbors, and he is no more. Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in Me."  For thus says the LORD: "Behold, those whose judgment was not  to drink of cup have assurdly drunk. And are you the one who will not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.  "For I have sworn by Myself, "says the LORD, "that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. And all its cities shall be perpetual wastes." I have heard a message from the LORD, and an ambassdor has been sent to the nations:" Gather togather, come against her, and rise up to battle! "For indeed, I will make you small among nations, despised among men. Your fierceness has decieved you, the prid of your heaart, O you  who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill ! Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, "says the LORD. "Edom also shall be an astonisment; everyone who goes by it will  be astonished and will hiss at all its plagues. As in the overthrow of Sodom and their neighbor, "says the LORD, "No one shall remain there, nor shall a son of man dwell in it.  "Behold, he shall come uo like a lion from the flood plain of the Jordan against the dwelling places of the strong; but I will suddenly make him run away from her. And who is a chosen man that I mat appoint over her? For who is like Me? Who will arraign Me? And who is that shepherd who will with stand Me? " Therfore hear the cousel of the LORD that He has taken against the Edom, and His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of the Teman: surely the least of the flock shall draw them out; surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them. The earth shakes at the noise of their fall; at the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.  Behold, He shall come up and fly like the eagle, and spread His wing over Bozarah; the heart of the mighty  men of the Edom in the day shall be like the heart of a woman in the birth pangs. Against Damascus, "Hamath and Arpad are shamed, for they have heard bad news. They are fainthearted; there is trouble on the sea; it cannot be quiet.  Damascus has grown feeble; she turns to flee, and fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor. Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day," says the LORD of hosts." I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of  Ben - Hadad." Aganst Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon says the LORD: "Arise, go up to Kedar, and devastate the men of the East!  Their tents and their flocks they shall take away. They shall take for themselves their curtains, All their vessels and their camels; and they shall cry out to them, 'Fear is on every side! ' "Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Hazor!" says the LORD." For Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has concieed a plan aginst you. "Arise, go up to the wealthy nation that dwells securely," says the LORD, "Which has neither gates nor bars, dwelling alone. Their camels shall be for booty, and the multitude of their cattle for plunder. I will scatter to all winds those in the farthest corners, and I will bring their calamity from all its sides," sas the LORD. "Hazor shall be a dwelling for jackals, a desolation forever, no one shall reside there, nor son of man dwell in it." The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might. Against Elam I will bring the four wind from the four quaters of haeven, and scatter them toward all those wind;there shall be no nation where the outcasts of the Elam will not go. For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemy and before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,`says the LORD; 'And I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them.  I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from there the king and princes, 'says the LORD. 'But it shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring back the captives of Elam, 'says the LORD. JEREMIAH 49:1-39

                                                 I will stretch out My hand against Judah, and against al the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off every trace off Baal from this place, the name of the idolatrous priests with the pagan priests -  Those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops; those who worship and swear oaths by the LORD, but who also swear by Milcom; Those who have turned back from following the LORD, and have not sought the LORD, nor inquired of Him." Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; for the day of the LORD is at hand, for the LORD has prepared a scrifice; He has invited his guests.  "And it shall be, in the day of LORD' sacrifice, that I will punish the princes and the king`s children, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. In the same day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their masters' house with violence and deciet. ''And there shall be on that day," says the LORD, "The sound of a mournful cry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crashing from the hills. Zephaniah 1:4-10

                                                    "MOST assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber / the serpent / Satan /  the ruler of demons. "But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  "And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them' and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. "Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from, for they do not know the voice of strangers." Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them. Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to  you, I am the door of the sheep. “All whoever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  “The thief / The serpent / Milcom does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd.The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. “But a hireling / Beelzebub / the lawless one / the anti christ / the god of this age, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own sheep, see the wolf coming and leaves the sheep. “The hireling sin flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. “I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, am  known but My own.“As the Father knows  Me, even  so I know the Father; and I lay  down my life for  the sheep. “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. ‘Therefore My Father loves me, because I lay down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and  I have power to take it again. “No one take it from Me, but  I lay it down of Myself.I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again  This command I have received from My Father.” Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?" Others said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"  Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomen's porch.  Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do you keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. "But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. "My  sheep  hear My voice, and I know them, and they folow Me. "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch from them out of My hand. "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. "I  and My Father are one." Then the Jews  took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered Him, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?" Then Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You being a Man, make Yourself God." Jesus answered them, 'Is it not writtten in your law, "I said, "You are gods" '. "If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came ( and the Scripture cannot be broken), "Do you say to Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,` because I said, 'I am the Son  of God '?  "If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; "But if I do, though you not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in  Me, and I in Him." Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped our of their hand. And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed. Then many came to Him and said, "John performed no sign, but all things that John spoke about this Man were true."  And many believed in Him there. JOHN 10:1-42
