Notes from an Old Bible

There is a period of time, that will happen on the earth, which is known as the Great Tribulation. This will be after the Rapture, an event when Jesus comes to collect all Christian believers who belong to Him, those that are alive will be transported from earthly state to an eternal state. They will not experience death. Those that are dead in Christ will be resurrected and given their glorified bodies. The Great Tribulation will be a time of horror and judgment upon the earth that will be unmatched by any other time in human history. While the Tribulation will last for a full 7-year Jeremiah calls the second half “The Time of Jacobs Trouble.” John calls it “The Great Tribulation” The book of Revelations describes the events that will take place during this time. Man’s dominion over the earth will be seized by Satan. One of the things mentioned are the seven trumpets. What are they?

GROUNDWORK FOR SPECIAL SESSION

Gov. Jeff Landry’s administration began laying the groundwork for a crime-focused special session. Some of the recommended goals include: . . . .Enhancing data collection and sharing including information related to juvenile justice; . . . . Addressing “truth in sentencing” in part by eliminating good time earned before sentencing and revamping the parole system to provide a more structured transition back to society; . . . . Implementing a range for bail based on the crime and require judges to list reasons for deviating from that schedule; . . . . Greatly expanding drug courts; . . . . Ensuring offenders are “making victims whole”. Of course, legislators have their own priorities related to crime and punishment. We’ll have to wait to see what they are.

Notes from an Old Bible

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew 24:36 “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority.” Acts 1:7 “Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Luke 12:40 “A sword and a drought upon her (Euphrates) waters that they may be dried up! For this is a land of images, and they are mad over idols.” Jeremiah 50:36 The Bible definitely does not encourage us to attempt to discover the timing of Jesus’ return. But it does say that we are to “keep watch” and “be ready.” Doomsayers have been trying to predict the end since the beginning of time. One I remember was the Mayan calendar that was supposed to end in 2012? Wrong!

BORDER CRISIS

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has accused the federal government of breaching “the compact between the United States and the states” as relates to border security. His statement follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that allowed the Border Patrol to cut or remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.- Mexico border. He further stated that the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration law on the books now.

Notes from an Old Bible

1 Corinthians 4:1 “Let a man so account of us, as of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.”

In the time of Christ’s earthly ministry, stewards were common in Jewish households of businessmen who had to be gone from home for extended periods of time in order to conduct business. Whether it be a large farm or traveling to distant cities and lands to promote his endeavors whatever they may be. The steward was the master mouthpiece in his absence over the household in its entirety. This stewardship included the raising and educating the children and every facet of running a household including dispensing of funds to pay all expenses for the family business. The steward had the final say in all matters in the absence of the master. This includes discipline for the household servants and children alike.

Notes from an Old Bible

Psalm 14:1, 53:1 “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

Fool “A person with little or no judgment, common sense, wisdom, a silly person; simpleton.”

An impious person who has no perception of ethical or religious truth. The meaning of this text is not “unintelligent people do not believe in God, but rather “sinful people do not believe in God”. It is a terrible thing to deny God, and a denial of God is often accomplished by a corrupt lifestyle. This Scripture goes on to list some other characteristics of the irreligious. “They are corrupt; their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.” Psalm 14:1-7 is a study of the depravity of mankind.

Notes from an Old Bible

Perry/Jeanne Britt The Importance of the Resurrection

The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the proof of Christianity. Everything else said and done by Christ and the Apostles, no matter how great or marvelous, is secondary to the death and resurrection in importance. If the resurrection had not taken place, then Christianity is a false religion. Because it truly did take place, then Christ is God, and the Christian faith is absolutely true.

BIG GAS PRODUCERS MERGER

It was reported in the Wall Street Journal that Chesapeake Energy and Southwestern Energy have agreed to merger. Such a merger would create the largest natural-gas producer in the U.S. This proposed merger is partially based on the anticipation that booming liquefied-natural-gas importa from Texas and Louisiana will allow drillers to sell more of their product to Europe, Asia and other global markets. The CEO of Chesapeake stated: “This powerful combination redefines the natural gas producer, forming the first U.S. based independent that can truly compete on an international scale.”
