JERUSALEM

 JERUSALEM


‘Melchizedek king of (Jeru)Salem brought out bread and wine. 
He was Priest of God Most High. 
He blessed Abram and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, and blessed be God Most High Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all he had’ (Genesis 14:18 to 20). 

This verse is the first time Jerusalem was mentioned in the Bible.  
Salem means ‘Peace’ and was the original name for the city. 
Jerusalem means ‘House of Peace’. 
It is the only place on earth where the Bible says the Lord dwells and has His Tabernacle. 
‘In Judah, God is known. 
His name is great in Israel. 
His Tabernacle is in (Jeru)Salem. 
His dwelling place is in Zion’ (Psalm 76:1 & 2).

DIFFERING OPINIONS BETWEEN GODLY AND UNGODLY PEOPLE

 DIFFERING OPINIONS BETWEEN GODLY AND UNGODLY PEOPLE There are so many differences of opinion and behaviour it is impossible to list every difference. We hope the reader can understand the differences written here and can understand, ungodly people think and behave differently for two reasons.  One reason is they do not know God and therefore walk in their own form of self-righteousness. They are spiritually lost and need salvation.  They are spiritually deaf so they cannot listen to God’s Word.  The other reason they oppose Godly people is they are walking in the footsteps of their father, the devil.  Jesus said, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you cannot hear My Word. Read more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com

WE CANNOT HIDE FROM GOD

Image
 WE CANNOT HIDE FROM GOD We cannot go anywhere, where God cannot see us.  There is nowhere to hide from the eyes of God.  We cannot hide our sins from God either.  We need to face God when we sin, confess our sin to Him and allow His forgiveness to refresh us.  ‘I acknowledged my sin to You.  I did not hide my iniquity.  I said, I will confess my transgressions to God and You forgave the iniquity of my sin’  (Psalm 32:5).
