Judges 16:1 Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a prostitute there, and had relations with her.

History tells us, Samson had a thing for Philistine women.

Israel says they are going to finish Hamas. An invasion of Rafah is looming. President Biden is pushing for a cease fire to start before the holy month of Ramadan begins on Sunday, March 10th.

Come to Jesus meeting: a moment of sudden realization, comprehension, or recognition that often precipitates a major change. -Merriam Webster

So a demented Gentile man is going to pressure a Jewish man, the leader of Israel, and change his mind about the security of the Jewish people. And He is going to lead with Jesus.

Even God can use Joe Biden to tell His chosen people about His Son, Jesus.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Introducing Mark Robinson… Here are some quotes from his comments below. Do your homework! He is going to say controversial things. The media is already taking this man out of context. Left wing media is refusing to show pictures of him. The main stream media is terrified of an African American who stands strong on Christ. Pray for this man’s safety.

“It’s time for grown ups and it’s time for Christians to start standin’ up and stop being afraid to tell the truth.”

On Biology… “Ain’t but two genders.”

“Ain’t nothin’ but men and women.”

“You can’t transcend God’s creation.”

On Eduction… “2 + 2 don’t = transgender.”

“We need to get back to teachin’ ’em how to read, instead of teachin’ ’em how to go the hell.”

The clip is only a couple of minutes in length.

Hosea 4:1-3 Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land! Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another. Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.

Clearly, the event off the coast of Yemen is not the fulfillment of the Hosea prophecy. But, take a look at the conditions stated and the context of the culture prior to judgment. Does this sound familiar? It should be a wake up call!

“There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land! Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.

The dead shrimp below are due to human activity. Can you imagine the smell? Yes, God can use idiot human behavior to fulfill His will.

Nehemiah, Resume

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Angels with tags , , , , , , on November 29, 2020 by paulthepoke

Nehemiah 1:1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the citadel…

Nehemiah means “Yah comforts”.

Of note, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah were originally one book. They were divided into two books by Jerome the Latin translator (Holman Illustrated Pocket Bible Handbook).

Nehemiah is one of three men who would lead the Israelites back to Jerusalem. The process would take close to 100 years to complete the return from exile to Jerusalem.

First, Zerubbabel lead a group of about 50,000 back to rebuild the Temple. Ezra followed about 80 years later and re-started the Temple worship service. Roughly 13 years later, Nehemiah made the request of King Artaxerxes to return and rebuild the city of Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 11:1b Now I was cupbearer to the king.

Nehemiah was a cupbearer or a mashqeh in the Hebrew. The word is also translated as butler. This is the position of one who serves the king wine. He would be a highly trusted individual and he would be paid well. A cupbearer was also be a high ranking official in the kingdom. This was a position of influence.

A cupbearer would also be the taste tester for the king. Historically, some of these folks were poisoned instead of the king. At times, a king would have requested the cupbearer drink and swallow wine before him. https://biblehub.com/topical/c/cupbearer.htm

Nehemiah served as a governor of Judah for King Artaxerxes for 12 years.

Nehemiah 5:14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the food allowance of the governor.

Nehemiah was appointed governor of Judah a second time. The length of this term is unknown.

Nehemiah 13:6-7a While this was taking place, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king. And after some time I asked leave of the king and came to Jerusalem…

It is clear from reading the remainder of Nehemiah 13, Nehemiah is in a position of authority and made multiple declarations and decrees. He returned vessels to the Temple. Nehemiah reinstituted the tithe on the people for the Levites. Elements of the sacrificial were re-started. Treasurers were appointed for the store houses. The Sabbath was enforced.

Socially, Nehemiah called on Jews to not intermarry and swear an oath of allegiance to God. Arguably, he was for one common language of the people.

In summary, this is what Nehemiah completed as governor of Judah.

Nehemiah 13:30-31 Thus I cleansed them from everything foreign, and I established the duties of the priests and Levites, each in his work; and I provided for the wood offering at appointed times, and for the firstfruits.

Remember me, O my God, for good.
