Scripture Reading: Genesis 26:34-35

While reading some of the New Covenant Messengers of the past, I became interested in the bible study notes that were written by my friend, Steve B. of Knoxville, Tennessee.  I used his study, published 15 years ago, for many of the facts brought in this message.

It was a bible study that dealt with Amalek. Who was he?  Genesis, chapter 36 gives us the answer.  This chapter is all about the genealogy of Esau.   It tells of the early family tree of Esau.   Esau had four wives; three of them are mentioned in Genesis 36. 

Esau married at first two Canaanite women (Adah and Aholibamah) and later, after being rebuked by his father and mother, he then married two Ishmaelite women.

Isaac had instructed his twin brother NOT to marry any Canaanite women (Genesis 28:6b).  He then journeyed to Syria to find himself a wife from his mother’s family.  Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father so he went and married a daughter of Ishmael.

Scripture Reading Psalms 55:15

Before I begin my message, as I promised you:  I will not forget about the Sandy Hook massacre which was a hoax.  Here is another hoax of the government’s misleading comments:

Natalie Hammond, the assistant principal in the Sandy Hook shooting that took place in December 14, 2012, was heaped praise at the Boston Bruins ice hockey game.  She was given the award of tossing the puck to begin the game.  It was only a ceremonial toss, but it was a gesture that honored her.  She walked out onto the ice and dropped the puck between the two opposing players.  After she did this, they both shook hands with her.  Then the game began after she walked off the ice.

But which story is correct?

Scripture Reading: Matthew 27:20-27

This week the Supreme Court held opinions on the issue about same-sex marriages.  There are nine (9) states out of fifty (50) so far that have made it legal; and the Supreme Court is to decide if this is constitutional and if the federal government can grant the national benefits of marriage to the sodomites.  

The Supreme Court consists of 6 Roman Catholics and 3 Jews; 6 men and 3 women.  What!  No Protestants!  No Bible believers! Some women?  Prior to our Constitution, every one of the 13 State Charters forbid all Roman Catholic and Jewish members from holding any office which would include any office in the Supreme Court or even voting in any election--only white Christian men, and not all of them!

Three of the Supreme Court Judges are women.  They couldn’t hold a state office or even vote after the Constitution was made valid; that is during the first 131 years of the nation's existence.  Women, in the United States, gained the right to vote in 1920; after many years of meetings, debates and struggles which finally led to an affirmative vote.  There has been more years in our country when women could not hold office or vote that when they could; 131 to 93!  What was the difference--we were more Christian back then and more jewish now.  We were free back then and are jewish Communists now.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 14:1-3 “Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.  For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself; above all the nations that are upon the earth.  Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.”

The rest of the chapter tells the Israelites what they are to eat and what they are forbidden to eat. Why are they to do this? Because they are a holy people unto the LORD! If you eat any of the foods that are an abomination to the LORD is because you do not want to be a holy people.

So, what we eat is to be found in the Bible. Where do we find all the other answers for our life? Do we go to Dr. Phil, or Dr. Laura, or Oprah, or do we write to someone like Dear Abby, or go to any psychologist, or to any psychiatrist. Do we go to someone who can read our palms or read the stars or do we read our horoscopes. When I was young, in my pre-teens and early teenage years, I would read my horoscope everyday that was in the newspaper and try and see how true they were. I didn’t know it was against God’s laws.

There are forces of evil: which includes politicians, business leaders, sport players, musicians, preachers, educators, etc.

And there are forces of good: God the father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit, and the people whom He leads, etc.

Where do we find the answers to questions that we have about our life? They are all found in the Bible.

Scripture Reading: Exodus 1:1-7

Seventy people came into Egypt and in a short time, around two centuries, they were over two million in population.  The blessings that the Abrahamic covenant had outlined had been fulfilled right from the beginning.  But something happened that brought about the curses….

But let us leave the Israelites in Egypt and let us look at what is happening to their descendants over 3500 years later.  About six weeks ago we had a mass shooting at New Town, Connecticut Elementary School.  But did it actually happen the way that the government said it did?  There are many unanswered questions.

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 6:16-19

Proverbs 6:16-19 “These six things doth the LORD hate; yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

1. A proud look
2. A lying tongue
3. And hands that shed innocent blood
4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
5. Feet that are swift in running to mischief
6. A false witness that speaketh lies
7. And he that soweth discord among brethren.”

I think the book of Proverbs is a book that a new believer in our truth should read as early or as soon as he/she can.  It gives him/her insight on how he/she should live his life.  Do you think that our GOD still hates these seven actions?  Who sheds innocent blood?  The doctor in an aborticide office?  The baby in the womb is certainly innocent!

Who soweth discord among the brethren?   It is not discord among the stranger, but discord among the brethren!  But what sin covers most if not all of these abominations – that is what I will talk about this morning.

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 15:7-12

2 Samuel 15:12 “And Absalom sent for Ahithophel, the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Gilob, while he offered sacrifices.  And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.”

Absalom, King David’s very handsome son, began his plan of dethroning his father, who was King of Israel at this time.  Absalom, who had unjustly murdered his brother, revealed what a godless and unscrupulous scoundrel he was.  He sent for David’s counselor who joined Absalom in the number of people who were assembling with Absalom in his insurrection. 

2 Samuel 15:31 “And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.  And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophet into foolishness.”

So there was a conspiracy in the Bible.  Conspiracy is broken down:  “con” which means “with” and “spiracy” which means with the “spirit”.  With the exception of his own son’s insurrection, this was the bitterest ingredient in the cup which David was now having to drink.  It was no ordinary blow for him to bear, for Ahithophel was no ordinary man.  He was one whom the king had taken into his confidence, numbered among his closest friends, and to whom he had shown much kindness.  David was dethroned by his own son!
