KING DAVID'S FAMILY

KING DAVID'S FAMILY


David, the anointed King of Israel was the youngest of ten children. Nine children are named in this list but there was another son Elihu, who was left out of this list so we do not know where his place was in the family. ‘Elihu, one of the brothers of David’ (1 Chronicles 27:18). By reading the scriptures that refer to David’s family, we can get a ‘picture’ of what the family were like. His father Jesse earned his living as a shepherd and from what is written in the Bible, it appears Jesse was monogamous. David’s mother Nahash was only mentioned in the Bible twice. ‘Amasa was the son of Ithra (Jether) the Israelite and Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah’ (2 Samuel 17:25). David said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come to be with you until I know what God will do for me” (1 Samuel 22:3).

EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES

Image
EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES The Pharaoh in the time of Moses was a hard, stubborn and ruthless man. His heart was very hard and the  Lord hardened his heart even more so.  He would not initially allow the Hebrews to leave Egypt but after ten  horrific plagues, the Pharaoh forced the Hebrews to flee and they took tons of gold, silver, precious stones, flocks, herds and clothing as payment for many years of unpaid slavery.  They were not slaves when they first  went into Egypt, but after Joseph died and a new Pharaoh arose, the Hebrews were then forced to be  slaves.  In spite of their slavery the Hebrews had so many children, at one point in time the Hebrews outnumbered the Egyptians. The ten plagues were divine judgement on a very idolatrous nation. See more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com

SAME SEX MARRIAGE WILL BRING GOD'S JUDGEMENT

Image
New topical topic To the foolish politicians who vote for same sex marriage, we Christians must stand up and declare: In the Name of Jesus our Saviour, stop your stupid nonsense. Do you not realise that by passing the law to allow same sex couples to marry, you are bringing God’s wrath and judgement upon your country – upon the people your swore to represent? Do not pass that bill; do not allow same sex couples to marry; do not accept that same sex marriage is okay – because it is not. It is the legal sanctioning of an abomination to God, and that was the turning point in God’s decision to destroy the earth with a flood. If that does not impress you, then perhaps the knowledge that next time God sends His judgement to earth, He will burn the whole earth with fire (Isaiah 66:14 to16; 2 Peter 3:7, 10 & 12).
