Good morning. We are back in Isaiah. Trust in the Lord forever. For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. In this dizzying world we need something steady to hold onto. He will not be moved, and neither will we. The way of the righteous is smooth (sometimes it doesn't seem like it though); O Upright One make the path of the righteous level. He will flatten anything that stands in our way. Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for You. My spirit within me seeks You diligently. Even when we are asleep, we seek the Lord. And now something that sounds like it comes from the 15th chapter of first Corinthians: your dead will live; their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy; and the earth will give birth to the departed spirits. They hear the trumpet sound! It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who are perishing and those who are scattered will come and worship the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem. Then a verse that we read about also in Romans and first Peter: behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. Sometimes we forget that for the people who wrote the New Testament, the Old Testament was their Bible. They were just quoting scriptures. And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level. God makes sure that everything in His church and in our lives is perfectly straight. Your covenant with death shall be canceled. Death will no longer have control over us! What has happened to the world – the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep. They don't see what's coming - what is the result of their actions. Then something you heard from Jesus: this people draw near with their words and honor Me with their lip service, and their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote. That sounds like a lot of people that go to church every Sunday. "Well, I've done my duty and got my protection for the week". The wisdom of their wise men shall perish. They twist the Word to suit themselves. Father thank You that You make the reader's path smooth. He/she walks in victory every day. Continue healing him/her and meeting all of his/her needs.

And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds

  Good morning. And men repented, right? And they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and the water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Previously, the 6th angel blew his trumpet and told them to release the four angels at the river Euphrates so that the army of 200 million could cross over. Back to the bowl: and I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Father continue to bring blessings upon the reader and his/her family every day  of their lives.

So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed

  Good morning. We left John at the entrance of the tomb, stooping and looking in. “Shy” Peter then arrives following John, and enters the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there. So the other disciple, John, who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. It does not say whether or not Peter believed. For as yet they did not understand the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their own homes. I’m not exactly sure what it means by their own homes. They were originally from Galilee and would not have had homes in Jerusalem. Perhaps it means the homes where they were staying while in Jerusalem. Apparently, they were not staying in the upper room, or it would have said so. But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped (just like John) and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been l...

After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body

  Good morning. After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and he granted permission. So he came and took away His body. Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 100 pounds weight. Remember that myrrh was one of the gifts that the magi brought when Jesus was a baby. Also notice that he had 100 pounds of spices. Normally one does not have that much just lying around the house. Since most likely he was older, he may have been storing it up for when he himself was going to die. Or perhaps while Jesus was hanging on the cross, he went to the merchants and purchased it, because there was no time to do so after Jesus died prior to the beginning of the Sabbath. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. My Bible says that these were thin ...
