“[3] Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: [4] and even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. [5] To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? [6] They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. [7] They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. [8] Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. [9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, [10] declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: [11] calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. [12] Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: [13] I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.” – Isaiah 46:3-13 KJV

“[3] “Listen to me, descendants of Jacob, all you who remain in Israel. I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. [4] I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you. [5] “To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal? [6] Some people pour out their silver and gold and hire a craftsman to make a god from it. Then they bow down and worship it! [7] They carry it around on their shoulders, and when they set it down, it stays there. It can’t even move! And when someone prays to it, there is no answer. It can’t rescue anyone from trouble. [8] “Do not forget this! Keep it in mind! Remember this, you guilty ones. [9] Remember the things I have done in the past. For I alone am God! I am God, and there is none like me. [10] Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish. [11] I will call a swift bird of prey from the east— a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding. I have said what I would do, and I will do it. [12] “Listen to me, you stubborn people who are so far from doing right. [13] For I am ready to set things right, not in the distant future, but right now! I am ready to save Jerusalem and show my glory to Israel.” – Isaiah 46:3-13 NLT

I love the God of Israel all because of Jesus! I am of the nations and the ends of the earth that Jesus has brought Salvation unto and I am thankful and grateful and a great sinner that has been saved from his sins who is trusting Jesus above all else and am confident that what He says is true, right, just and He is worthy to be trusted above all other gods and words of mere mortals including myself! God bless and may you find peace in the Prince of Peace for the rest of your days into all eternity confident in Him and trusting in nothing less than the God who is and was and is to come and has always been and always will be!

“Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.” – Isaiah 42:12

I am honored and blessed to do so along with the rest as You bear, carry and deliver…

“[28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. [30] And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: [31] but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” – John 20:28-31

“[5] And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. [6] And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.” – Isaiah 49:5-6

“[4] Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” – Isaiah 53:4-6

“[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. [22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, [23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. [24] Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: [25] and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.” – Matthew 1:21-25

“[14] For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, [15] of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, [16] that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; [17] that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [19] and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. [20] Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [21] unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” – Ephesians 3:14-21

The preaching of the cross may have been foolishness to the Romans of the 1st century AD and to many even today but where oh where are the gods of the Romans now oh people of today! It happened just as Jesus predicted/prophesied! Behold, the everlasting power of the gospel of Jesus Christ….

“[30] And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? [31] It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: [32] but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.” – Mark 4:30-32

And to the naysayers and scholars of our day who attribute the spread of Christianity worldwide not to Jesus but because of force (first 300 years there doesnt seem to be very good evidence of this but feel free to find it and even if there is some of that going on…) and evil doers than please note that Jesus predicted/prophesied this too that there would always be the tares amongst the wheat but that this will be taken care of in the end. See Matthew 13:24-30. So, He is there with you and not at all a reason to reject Jesus but rather to trust Him.

“Thou mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth”

Fulfilled and to be continued this year and throughout all ages of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 2025.

“[28]  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28-30

You don’t even have to have a degree to get Jesus though degrees are not a bad thing in and of themsleves.

“[25] At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. [26] Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. [27] All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” – Matthew 11:25-27

So just go to the Jesus of the age old Scriptures that was predicted to come and spread like wildfire to the ends of the earth well before the Jesus of the gnostics and lost to history till lately or the Jesus of the Johnny come lately’s in Islam, mormonism and Jw’s etc etc etc. Go to the historic Christ for salvation who has fulfilled His own words and those of the prophets.

“[6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: [7] which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” – Galatians 1:6-9

Get the pure gospel from the Scriptures that has gone to ends of the earth for the last 2000 years thus the only gospel fulfilling the prophecies and so proving to be of the God of Israel and that this Jesus is in deed the Messiah! God bless….
