Revelation 22:12-14
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me,
to render to every man according to what he has done.”
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last,
the beginning and the end.”
Blessed are those who wash their robes,
so that they may have the right to the tree of life,
and may enter by the gates into the city.
Well i read from Geneses 1:1 through Revelation 22:21
Finished on Monday morning, took me 45 days.
And am now have started back at the beginning Geneses 1:1
taking notes connecting the dots as it were,
and putting down the things the Holy Spirit draws me to.
A few things the first time through that were pointed out to me as important.
Ecclesiastes 12:11-14
The words of wise men are like goads,
and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails;
they are given by one Shepherd.
But beyond this, my son, be warned:
the writing of many books is endless,
and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body.
The conclusion,
when all has been heard, is:
fear God and keep His commandments,
because this applies to every person.
For God will bring every act to judgment,
everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil".
After reading the entire Bible from Geniuses 1:1
Through Revelation 22:21
This is what the Holy Spirit has made truly clear to me
There is only one book that needs to be read,
but not only be read but taken to heart
that book is the Bible (the word of GOD)
That all the books written by great theologians, teachers and preachers,
by all mankind are nothing but what the righter in Ecclesiastes calls the
“Vanity of Vanities”
For what needs to be read are the word of GOD;
Which tells us
“fear God and keep His commandments”
We are to put our faith in Him,
repent of our sins,
except Him as our Lord,
confess Him as Lord before the world
and obey His commandments.
And the greatest of His commandments is;
Deuteronomy 6:5
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your might
Deuteronomy 11:1
You shall therefore love the LORD your God,
and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances,
and His commandments
Deuteronomy 13:3-4
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet
or that dreamer of dreams;
for the LORD your God is testing you
to find out if you love the LORD your God
with all your heart and with all your soul.
You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him;
and you shall keep His commandments,
listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.
So we have the Ten
1 “You shall have no other gods before Me
2 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain
4 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy
5 Honor your father and your mother
6 You shall not murder
7 You shall not commit adultery
8 You shall not steal.
9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
In Matthew 22 Jesus is asked what is the greatest commandment and He said
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment
The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Conclusion Read the bible
Put your total faith in the Lord
Confess the Lord before mankind
Keep His commandments (OBEY)
And love the Lord God and mankind. (your neighbor)
Don’t get tangled up in the world and its sins,
Don’t get side tracked by teachings no mater how well spoken.
But rather seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness.
Jesus said
“if you love Me you will keep My commandments.”
Out for now,
hope you have or are taking the time to read clear through the Bible.
i have starting over at Genesis 1:1
Holy Spirit teach me direct my path, Amen
