One-Half of A Solution For America

This is one, probably one of the bigger problems we face in America today, and it needs to be addressed.

The Apostle Paul describes for us how it is to be properly done:

1 Corinthians 6:12 - 7:16

"All things are lawful for me, "but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food:--and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Now concerning the maters about which you wrote: "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife. To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?"

And so we can see, through Paul's teachings, why America continues in decline, through an acceptance of a promiscuous culture...it is because of a disobedience of those commands set forth by Almighty God in His Word.

Resurrection Morning
John 20:1-30

Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my GOd and your God. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"--and that he had said these things to her. On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld."

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe." Eight day later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed (The clearest and simplest confession of the deity of Christ in the Bible, by Thomas: "Lord" with the Greek translation of the Old Testament for the divine name "Yahweh"), and God, are used together and addressed to Jesus in recognition of His glory. Jesus accepts it without worship or hesitation)."

Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.'

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.

That is the essence of faith, by hearing the message, applying it to our hearts and living by every word that proceeds from the Lord's throne!

Isaiah 53:3-5

'He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.'

Faith in the name of the only One by whom we may be Saved, the One who paid the ultimate sacrifice, with His life and arose on the Third day ... sitting now at the Right Hand of the Father, interceding on behalf of those who will trust and believe!

God bless you and have a wonderful Easter!

Liberal Media ignores Obama's Remarks regarding his Pro-Sodomite Agenda

Conservative media watchdog Bob Knight says the national media virtually ignored Democratic presidential frontrunner Senator Barack Obama's recent use of the Sermon on the Mount to justify homosexual civil unions.

Senator Obama (D-Illinois) boldly declared in a campaign speech recently that states should legalize "same-sex unions" for homosexuals. "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount," says Obama. "Which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.

I'm going to write the Sermon on the Mount for you, and we're going to go through and see if we can find where Obama thinks that Jesus sermon advocates for Sodomized marriage...Ok, this is going to be lengthy, so bear with me, I'll make short follow ups for each passage - Matthew chapters 5, 6, & 7.

Starting in chapter 5 - 'And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." What's Jesus saying? For those who live according to God's Word, according to the Spirit of God. In doing this, there will be people who will persecute you for His sake, because you live by the word and not of the flesh.

"You are the salt of the earth; how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot b hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Meaning: Go and witness to the lost - sinners, be obedient to the Spirit. Christ died once for all, and gave us His redeeming grace; now it is our duty to try to communicate with others this same forgiveness, that they may turn from their sin and be saved.

Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therfore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Meaning: We are bound to the Law of God. We are not to distort the Word to justify worldly desires. It means what it says, and anything else will reap Eternal loss of our Soul.

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder,' and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, Raca!' shall be in danger of the council, But whoever says, You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer , and you be thrown into prison. Assuredly, I say to you, you will be no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny. Meaning: Instead of harboring extreme hatred and anger in your heart for those whom you think have wronged you, and trying to get even with them - go to that person immediately and forgive them, and if they don't accept the forgiveness, then you leave it to the Holy Spirit in prayer to deal with that person as He sees fit. The Holy Spirit can work on a persons' conscience and later prove that they were wrong and friendship can be attained once again through the working of the Holy Spirit through conviction. Provided that their conscience hasn't been given over to Satan.

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to your that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. And if your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut if off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." Meaning: He's referring to the sins of the flesh; and that we must abstain from them in order to live a clean and Holy life. The illustrations to show that sin is sin, and that God does not contradict, compromise, or show favoritism, or discount one sin over the other, they are all sin. Adultery, homosexuality, fornication, murder, are all sin.

"Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery." Meaning: Wives remain faithful to your husbands...husbands remain faithful to your wives. If contraversy should arise, divorce and do not remarry, for it is considered unclean in the eyes of the Lord. It's a life committment.

"Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, you shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your ;Yes; be "Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. Meaning: To live for the Lord, we must show absolute conscieousness to the Word and to the Holy Spirit, there is no justifying one thing that is unjustifiable in the Lord's eyes, no straddling the fence. You are either with the Lord, or without Him.

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away. Meaning: He is saying to be patient, and you have to remember here, Jesus is always referring in a Spiritual sense, if you share the Word of God with someone and they want to resent it the first time, then go with him the extra mile to prove that you believe, and it can also be said that this is the way God tests our own faith, is when people question you to find proof. So be patient.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Meaning: We are called to mercy, where there is no mercy, lest we be tempted and fall to Satan's wishes. In a hypothetical situation, we can find this to be true when Atheists in a mean spirited way denounce and call us profane names for what we do, and then we are tempted to strike back being critical not showing mercy.

Chapter 6 - "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hands is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. Meaning: It means just as it says, we are not to make a big scene when we do something to help the needy, we are to do it quietly without praise from men, from whom we have no hope. Our hope is in the Lord, and that's what this passage is all about, it's about Faith. Our Faith touches others in a more profound way when we share with them in a one on one basis.

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to, they have their reward. But you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

For if you forgive men their trespasses,your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not frgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Meaning: This is again to show that if you pray in the silence of your home, that you have Faith. God notices how we serve Him, and if all we do is seek recognition from the world, then God is not pleased, you are placing more faith in men than you are God. So pray in silence to show God that you truly believe in Him.

"Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have thier reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Meaning: It is Faith. That you love the Lord with all your heart, all your strength, and all your soul.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth., where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaqven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Meaning: If you love the Lord, then earthly things have no meaning, such as fancy cars, million perhaps more than million-dollar homes, expensive jewelry, things that would take precedence over the Eternal reward that God has in store for those who love Him. This earth is going to pass away friends, Heaven and Hell are going to last forever, time immortal.

"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be fulll of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!' Meaning: We are to be examples of Our Lord, and this shows to all who see this light in us. There's a song called - This little light of mine! A perfect illustration of the Christian walk.

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Meaning: You cannot serve or worship both God and money, just as Jesus described earlier, 'to lay up your treasures in heaven. Where moth and dust do not destroy.'

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are younot of more value than they? Which of yu by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Meaning: I think verse 33 sums this passage and all of chapter 6.

Chapter 7 - "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you ill be judged; and with the same measure you use, it will b measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your won eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck out of your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye. Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Meaning: What Jesus is illustrating here, is that we are to study God's Word so that we may be better equipped to handle any situation, and that we base our judgments on the Holy Writ. The illustration about dogs and swine, is talking about Atheists, and those who have been given over to a reprobate mind ... to try and share the Word of God with these folks is useless, and is blasphemous to this precious Word of God. The world will always try and make it sound like foolishness. But the Word speaks for itself, in which ii backs itself up, front to back, back to front.

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Meaning: Jesus is describing to the people that earthly morals are evil, they are corrupt, and have no hope in them. And the only thing that will make a difference in this world is showing others how to live from God's Word, especially the children. Parents should be showing their children how to live Holy and righteous lives, instead of video games that will lead them to a life of depression and evil thinking.

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and ther are few who find it." Meaning: Here, Jesus is saying that there's only one way to heaven, and that is through the teaching of this book. That's why it's imperative that we continually fast and pray for direction that we not be drawn to the world.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad ree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear had fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Meaning: Anyone whose doctrine or belief system deviates from this book, is not teaching truth. There's only one way to the Father and that's through Jesus Christ, 'No man can come to the Father except through Me.' Jesus said.

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Now everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." Meaning: Our bodies are to be temples of the Lord, for God does not dwell in temples made with hands.....His temple is in the hearts of those who love Him, and the only way we will have our Eternal reward is through a dedicated relationship with Jesus Christ, without sin.

So, It's clear to anyone who has an understanding of the bible and Jesus message that He never condoned, or supported sodomy. That Obama dismisses Paul's message against homosexuality in the book of Romans, shows just how little he knows and "understands" of Jesus life and what He taught.

This is all the more reason to assume that Obama's early lif is showing a more negative response to the majority of Americans who identify as 'Christian,; and rightly so. He identifies with Jesus, but resents those whom Jesus appointed to do His work in spreading the Gospel, as they risked life and limb, all they had to win souls to Christ. Most if not all of them became martyrs on their missions. It's too bad that Obama can't see the truth for what it truly is.

The liberal Media is clearly going along with Obama in his promotion for a deviant society.

That is the world for you, folks.

Satan is in control of this world ... just temporarily though.

Jesus called him, 'The Prince of this world.' or 'Prince of darkness.'

Satan's ways are attractive to those who are lost and living in darkness; he delivers a message in which he appeals to the flesh, through unnatrual desires...no doubt, this is true ... for we see a society riddled with promiscuity here in America -- Two, three, perhaps four men living with one woman; having drunken, dope snorting orgies ... literally wasting their life away.

Our TVs have become places where young childrens' minds are subjected to drugs, violence, vulgarity and unlimited, uncensored sex.

Our schools are possibly worst of all; in which they are taught by their "teachers" what they deeem an "education." Homosexuality is "ok" and have "as many partners or relationships as you want" And we know where this type of lifestyle leads ... AIDS, Gonnorhea, herpes, depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts ... the saddest thing of all, young teenage girls take their anger and frustration out on their unborn children. In most cases, however, these innocent babies are mudered for more sexual gratification. The cruelest and sickest of any practice on earth.

Indeed, a sad state of affairs. As Robert Bork wrote, 'We are headed toward Gomorrah. Ever closer ... America edges toward her doom, as each day, each hour, each minute, and each second passes us by.

This is what happens when people fail to serve God, when they fail to pray, when they fail to study their Bibles, when they fail to join hands with God's people in the Church, asking for direction and strength to overcome Satan and his evil snares.

Reach out to somebody today, and witness to them about the Love of Jesus Christ, for tomorrow holds no promise for anyone ... only those who have made that committment, have turned from their sin, and have asked Jesus Christ into their life.

God bless!

Daily Reading from the Bread of Life

Numbers 17:10-11 (NIV)

"The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and get twelve staffs from them, one from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes. Write the name of each man on his staff. On the staff of Levi write Aaron's name, for there must be one staff for the head of each ancestral tribe. Place them in the Tent of Meeting in front of the Testimony, where I meet with you. The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid myself of this constant grumbling against you by the Israelites."

"So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and their leaders gave him twelve staffs, one for the leader of each of their ancestral tribes, and Aaron's staff was among them. Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the Tent of Testimony."

"The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimonye and saw that Aaron's staff, which rep[resented the house of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds."

"Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the Lord's presence to all the Israelites. They looked at them, and each man took his own staff."

"The Lord said to Moses, "Put back Aaron's staff in front of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign to the rebellious. This will put an end to their grumbling against me, so that they will not die." Moses did just as the Lord commanded him."

"The Israelites said to Moses, "We will die! We are lost, we are all lost! Anyone who even comes near the tabernacle of the Lord will die. Are we all going to die?"

What did the revivascence of Aaron's staff represent?

Whenever a small sapling is hewn down, the life remaineth no more within it, and whenever it is laid in a dry place, it cures and makes a nice walking staff, or sceptre. It must have been pretty amazing to wake up, and go to find your staff had sprouted into a green tree again, huh? Why did God do this? Well, there's probably two reasons.

First, it was as a sign to the rebellious, a meaning of life, and what it truly is. You see, before Christ came to earth, God had to speak through the people in different ways, so they would have faith. God gives us life, and then due to man's fallen nature, because of sin we die, but if we remain faithful and obey God's commands, we can have life again. How does He give us Life again? Through His Holy Spirit!

This was also as a prophetic sign to the people, of the coming Messiah - Jesus Christ!

God bless!!
