My bible says Matt 7:22 & 23 there are TWO reasons while he casts people into the fire

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

1) Workers of iniquity
2) God never knowing them.


Iniquity is continual unrepentant sin, its great than a sin or transgression
The other one is God not knowing you, which is interesting though because many people have accepted Christ and claim him, however if He does NOT accept YOU then you are still lost.

The only way for him to know you, and for sin to be completely out of your life is a continual personal relationship with Jesus based between you and him, Following a man will get you nowhere, he can not save you and he did not die on a cross for you! The bible tells us to work out our own salvation with fear & trembling because its a very serious matter. NO ONE can have your relation with Jesus except you, invest in your relationship with Jesus above others, for when you seek first The King of God then everything else will be added!!

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Bible Nugget: The Tabernacle

The tabernacle is an interesting study, i do not plan on going into it much (its a nugget after all, not a full course meal!)

Three materials were used with the furniture

• Brass - symbolized fire and judgement
• Gold - symbolized kingship or deity
• Silver - symbolized the blood (temple coin was silver, remember Judas used a silver coin!)

Tabernacle was 75 feet wide and 150 long and surrounded by a 7-1/2 ft white linen fence

seven pieces of furniture & how it relates to salvation:

• altar of fire - repentance
• brass laver - water baptism
• hold's 3,000 baths (about 3,000 gallons) which is interesting that 3,000 were saved on the day of Pentecost
• candlestick - receiving the holy Ghost (getting the light)
• table of shew bread - eat of the bread - the hidden manna 
• Jesus said "i am the bread that come down from heaven" 
• altar of incense - shows prayers of the saints
• the veil - revelation of his deity
• ark of the covenant - into his presence

The furniture layout was a cross also!!

Bible Nugget:: First 10 Generations from Adam to Noah: The Meaning

This is fascinating when you get you understand this concept. The bible is full of amazing insight and bible gold-nuggets (small details that have great worth). This is one such nugget. This names are all found in Genesis 5. I hope to do more nugget posts, this is the first one.

To Sum this up:: Man (is) Appointed Mortal Sorrow; (the) Blessed God Shall Come Down Teaching His Death Brings (the) Despairing Rest!!

a short writing on The mystery of 3 AM

ok so maybe i have forgotten a bit (see previous post!). Here is something I looked into after a bit of wondering about it.
its approximately about 3 am at this writing. I am currently listening to "revelation song" by Phillips, Craig & Dean.
The reason i post the time of the writing is well, its the topic of the writing.

The mystery of 3 am is very dynamic, it is said in the health field at this time that if patients do not remain stable they will turn for the worse or get worse at this time. My belief is this is a very special time. here is how one internet poster puts this:

The witching hour is the hour of midnight on a full moon. It is at this time that the witches spell casting powers are at their fullest. It is a time of change and transformation.

The history of this may be traced to the ancient times of the worship of Goddesses associated with the moon and fertility. As the moon waxes in its phases so do the powers of those, until they culminate at the full moon.

It is said by many to be woken up exactly at this time with the urge to pray. It is believed that Jesus died at 3 pm, so the direct opposite of that on the 12 hour clock is 3 am. This is another theory that was introduced.

This is just something to look up and to study, there are many different theories on this and ideas. I may do a follow up post on this, but I did want to post something and although while not a true bible study it does share something I know some people question.

~ until next time!
