WAIT - What does our Father Mean, when he uses this Word?

Have you ever used a word, and didn't really know what it meant? Sometimes when studying our Father's Word, we have to buckle ourselves down, put that old thinking cap on, and get to root of what is being said.


Man, will change the meaning of a word, whenever he/she sees fit. It's faster, it's not time consuming, and the conversation is spent reading between the lines.

Ever read a txt mgs, or been in a chatroom?
Abrvs r n! LOL! ?



But you know, in our Father's Word, you can't do that, when he uses a word, to teach you something, he means just what that word means.


WAIT

Let's take that word Wait back to the original language that it was written in: (Hebrew)

http://www.htmlbible.com/sacrednamebiblecom/kjvstrongs/index2.htm


In the book of Exodus 21:1, our Father gave Moses the judgements, he should use, concerning the crime, and the penalty.


Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.


If you smite a man, and he dies, you are to be put to death, no questions asked.


13 And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.


If you did not lie behind a bush, a tent, a tree, a camel, hide out in the flock, or sit there, and wait for the man, and your God put you in the position, to do the right thing, I'm going to make sure you have a safe place to go, so you won't be killed.


(See Numbers 35)

Now let's go to the book of Numbers and see how our Father uses the word wait.


Numbers 3:10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.


Their job was to handle all work that was wholly to God, concerning the tabernacle and the tent. The Levites, the first born, only, where to put it up, take it down, keep it wholly, inside and outside, and clean, no funny stuff, no false teachings, no junk! And check this out, don't give them any property, and no land, for themselves, because they belong to me! When they wait on the priest office, they are waiting on me!


Remember when In the book of Exodus 21:1, our Father gave Moses the judgements, he should use, concerning the crime, and the penalty.


Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.


You know why? They were traveling. They were still trying to reach the land of Canaan, their inheritance. Let me ask you a question? Would you feel comfortable traveling with a murderer? Always looking over your shoulder, wondering who he's going to strike next! Our Father said; nip it! in the bud! right then!



Ok now, the children of Israel have reached the land of Canaan, and they are getting ready to go in, but before they do so our Father speaks to Moses in Numbers 35:1 in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. He's going to lay down some ground rules, because now they are actually going to be settled down on their land.



In Numbers 35:2 thru 10, The LORD spoke to Moses, and Commanded the children of Israel, (the11 tribes), to give a portion of their inheretance to the Levites .It would be cities for them to live in, and suburbs, to put their cattle on, so they could continue, to be about our Father's business.



Now after this was done, They were to make 6 cities, a city of refuge, 3 on this side of Jordan, and three in Canaan.


11 Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.



This is for anyone who, makes a mistake or inadvertent transgression, in error, ignorance, at unawares; unwittingly. They didn't mean to slay anyone, it was an accident.


12 And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.


So if the next of kin, (avenger) comes to kill the person, (slayer) who made the mistake in killing his loved one, the slayer can go there, and stay until he goes before the judge.


Put your thinking Caps on! Numbers 16 thru 18


If he Smite, (Hit, Strike), him with an instrument of iron, and he dies, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death, if he strike him with throwing a stone, and he dies, he is a murderer, if he strikes him with a hand weapon of wood, and he dies he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.



If he uses any kind of weapon, to kill, he shall be put to death. Why? because he meant to kill him!


19 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.



Now pay attention! IF the revenger (the next of kin), just so happens to come across the murderer's path, or run into him randomly, or just happen to meet him, and the murderer, starts an argument, and they get into a fight, the revenger (next of kin) has a right to kill the murderer. Why? Because the murderer wants to kill him too!



20 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

21 Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.



If the revenger, has hatred in his heart, and he shoves the slayer with all his might, or if he strikes him with malice in his heart, he has waited and planned what he was going to.do If the slayer dies, then the (slayers) next of kin, has the right to slay the revenger, when he meet him.



In other words, what goes around, comes around.The Avenger became a Revenger because, he laid in wait.




Now let's take another look at the way our Father uses the word wait. In the book of Jeremiah, our Father is really upset.



Jeremiah 5: 7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.



Are you sitting in the harlot's house (church) every sunday, or whatever day you go to church, and listen to them tell you lies, like you're going to be raptured up out of here! A Harlot, will tell you anything, and do anything, just to get your money.



They're not telling you that satan and his workers are going to be sitting in Jerusalem for five months, defacto, decieving, people and stealing peoples souls.



They're not telling God's children, that Satan is the one riding the FIRST White Horse in:

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.



Jeremiah 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.



These preachers and so-called teachers are to catching you in a net, setting a trap, occupying your mind with junk. They stick together, they take wages by the day or year. They were hired Harlots. They are morally wrong; concretely, an (actively) bad person, condemned, guilty, ungodly, wicked MEN AND WOMEN, that do wrong. They are laying in wait!



Have you ever taken a pacify out of a babies mouth; when they are sucking on that thing real goood? Whew!! Are you being pacified, with false religions? Holding on to that Rapture Theory?



His children have forsaken him, they're not listening to him, ther're listening to the false teachers, preachers, false prophets, anyone who claims to be teaching the true word of God, and all they are doing is killing the souls of his people. They are murderers of the soul. They are leading his children straight to satan.



Our Father reminds us again, in The New Testament, by the teachings of Paul, when he was speaking to the Ephisians in:

4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;


12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:


13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:


14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;



Paul is telling us, don't be fooled by the instructions, doctrines, learnings, and teachings of, false apostles; false prophets; false evangelists; false pastors and false teachers.



So let's keep in mind, what David told us in the book of:



Psalm 27:14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.



We need to bind together, gather together, patiently tarry, wait, be strong, be of good courage, hold fast, and behave ourself valiantly. We should be alert, physically and mentally. If you run into some rough things, Our Father will strengthen us, care for us, and give us wisdom and understanding, when we seek him through his word, not the traditions of mans words.



Let's wait for the rider of the SECOND white horse that. John saw in:


Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.


12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.


13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.


14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.


15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.


16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Current Events - 2007 Prophecy Coming to Pass - Multiply

Tigris River



The Tigris forms the eastern edge of the ancient region of Mesopotamia, a fertile area which contained the ancient city of Babylon. The Tigris flows from Turkey into Iraq, past the Iraqi capital of Baghdād, and joins the Euphrates to form the Shatt al Arab before flowing into the Persian Gulf.




1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

Remember these guys!
Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave4 names: for he gave4 unto Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.

Do a thorough study of the book of Daniel !

Daniel gives us the key to all that is going to happen after the hanging of Saddam . God showed us the things that were going to happen to Saddam , by using Nebuchadnezzar as a type, of what is going to come to pass, in the latter days, (Our Days) He also tells us WHO and WHAT to watch for after the Fall of Babylon,

Daniel interpets a dream that Nebuchadnezzar had in his bed, and Daniel being blessed of God was the only one who could tell him what it all meant. Nebuchadnezzar wrote the fourth chapter of Daniel, telling us just what happened to him; telling us what was going to happen to the king of Babylon (Saddam ) in the latter days. (Our Days) And letting us know we have one more king of babylon to go! Satan!

Daniel,Chapter 4

8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],

9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

Daniel speaking: 24 This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

Read the rest of chapter 4, and you will see the resemblance between Nebuchadnezzer and Sadam . Daniel told ole Neb, this interpretation, One year before it happened!

Now let's go to Daniel Chapter 5, and see another type of warning our Father gives to Nebuchadnezzar's Grandson. His name is Belshazzar he has had a dream also, and Daniel,is going to interpet it for him. Read from verse 1- 31!

Daniel speaking:to Nebuchadnezzer's GRANDSON.

22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;

23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath [is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:



Amazing! isn't it! Our Father told him his days were numbered, his attitude has been weighed, and he is going to take his kingdom away from him, and he was going to die, why because he exalted himself, above God. Belshazzar, did the same thing as his Grandfather Nebuchadnezzar did.

This what our Father was telling Belshazzar, when he wrote on the wall with the finger!

Daniel speaking:

25 And this [is] the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.




Check This Out!
In 1985, Saddam Hussein started rebuilding the city on top of the old ruins, using millions on part restoration, part new construction, to the dismay of archaeologists, with his name inscribed on many of the bricks, in imitation of Nebuchadnezzar. One frequent inscription reads: "This was built by Saddam Hussein, son of Nebuchadnezzar, to glorify Iraq". This recalls the ziggurat at Ur, where each individual brick was stamped with "Ur-Nammu, king of Ur, who built the temple of Nanna". These bricks became sought after as collectors' items after the downfall of Saddam, and the ruins are no longer being restored to their original state. He also installed a huge portrait of himself and Nebuchadnezzar at the entrance to the ruins. He also shored up Processional Way, a big boulevard of ancient stones, and the Lion of Babylon, a black rock sculpture about 2,600 years old.


December 30: BAGHDAD Saddam Hussein was hanged at dawn on Saturday for crimes against humanity, a dramatic, violent end for a leader who brutally ruled Iraq for three decades before he was toppled by a U.S. invasion in 2003.




So now we have to watch The Medes and The Persians.! But wait a minute! Who are the Medes and the Persians of Today?

Iraq and Iran! And Who is the next king of Babylon!



Revelation 9:
11 kai ecousin ef autwn basilea ton aggelon thV abussou onoma autw ebraisti abaddwn kai en th ellhnikh onoma ecei apolluwn

9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.


Revelation 12
kai eblhqh o drakwn o megaV o ofiV o arcaioV o kaloumenoV diaboloV kai o satanaV o planwn thn oikoumenhn olhn eblhqh eiV thn ghn kai oi aggeloi autou met autou eblhqhsan


12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.


The King of Babylon in the book of Revelation is Coming!

TO GIVE THANKS!

We have a lot to be thankful for in this great nation. The freedoms we enjoy are invaluable, but they are not without price. We should all be thankful to those who have fought, and are currently fighting, for our freedom. Don't ever take our freedom for granted.

Let's begin our study in Matthew 10 as we learn about giving thanks.

10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.


What protects the sheep from the wolves? The Shepherd. He is always there to protect you.

10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

The elect will be delivered up, and the Holy Spirit will speak through them as a witness against the antichrist. God is in control. He will take care of His servants. You are precious to Father.

Skip with me to verse 29.

10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

One sparrow does not fall that God doesn't know about. How much more does He care for you?

10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

This we should be thankful for. God counts His elect as very valuable. Why? He knows He can count on them.

10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.


The word "confess" in this verse can also be translated "witness". Imagine that. Jesus giving witness for you to our Father. The word can also mean " to thank". Jesus will thank those who trust in Him and know He is the Shepherd before our Father.

Turn with me to the Book of Psalms as we continue our study.

116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.
116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.


God always hears our requests, and grants those requests, if we are serving Him and the result is in our best interest. He is your Shepherd (Psalm 23).

116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.


Without God in your life you will find trouble and sorrow.

116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.


When Jesus confesses your name before the Lord, your soul has been delivered. Salvation is yours.

116:5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.
116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

His mercy is something we should all be thankful for. We all sin. We all fall short at times. None of us is deserving; however, Jesus paid the price on the cross that our merciful Father can forgive our sins.

116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.

The Shepherd protects and takes care of His own.

116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

To walk before the Lord means to serve Him. That means to plant seeds and help our brethren who are lost.

116:11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.
116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?
116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

We partake of Communion, we are taking the cup of salvation. We know that Christ is our Saviour, and we are willing to do things His way, the right way.

116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

Many today ridicule and mock Christians. Don't ever be ashamed to be a Christian. Stand up for your beliefs. God will bless you for taking a stand.

116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.

The saints are His set aside ones, that is to say His elect. When one of the elect, or better said remnant, passes on and joins the army in heaven, it is precious in His sight.

116:16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.


What does God want from you? It isn't burnt offerings. He wants your thanks and love. We show Him our thanks and love, when we put forth our hands to worship and praise Him.


Turn with me to Psalm 50.

50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

We have no right to judge others. There is nothing wrong with utilizing discernment, but there is only One Judge.

50:5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
50:6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God [is] judge himself. Selah.

"Selah" means to "stop, pause and meditate". What has just been said is about to be connected with what is about to be said..


50:7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.

Judgment only belongs to our Father. If you are not pleasing to Him, expect Him to testify against you. If you are pleasing Him, you can expect rewards at judgment.


50:8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, [to have been] continually before Me.

This would probably be better translated, "You think you have been giving your sacrifices to Me".

50:9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out of thy folds.
50:10 For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle upon a thousand hills.

You can't offer to God what is already His. The sacrifice Father wants from you is your love. (Hosea 6:6). He has proven Himself. Have you proven yourself to Him.

50:11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is] mine, and the fulness thereof.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

God doesn't need us; we need Him. What does God want from His children?

50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

Put forth your hands to Him in worship and praise. Put forth your hands in covenant with Father. He wants you to say, "I love You, and I am Yours".

50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Have you ever had any trouble in your life? Call on God, and He will help you. For the deeper student, this is particularly important in the day of Jacob's trouble.

50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
50:17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

The wicked won't listen to the Word of God. They worship Him with lip service only. He knows their hearts.

50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Don't ever be foolish enough to try to lie to God. He knows your mind. You can't lie to Father without His knowing exactly what is going on.

50:20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
50:21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

God is the judge. He keeps very good records.

50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in pieces, and [there be] none to deliver. Without God there is none to deliver you.
50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I shew the salvation of God.

God always keeps His promises.Put forth your hands in praise and thanks to Father. Put forth your hands in covenant with Him.

In closing, turn with me to Psalm 136.

136:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

Put forth your hands in thanks, and He will forgive your sins. Do you need His forgiveness?

136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
136:4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

God wants you to put forth your hands in covenant with Him. He is the creator of all things. There is no other God except Him, and He is your Father. His forgiveness and unmerited favor endure for ever.

Rejoice in that!

136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

There is no greater wisdom, and Father is willing to share His wisdom with those who love Him.

136:6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
136:7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

Skip with me to verse 26 to close this study.

136:26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

We all need His mercy and forgiveness. All you must do to obtain His mercy is put forth your hands to Him in thanks, praise and covenant.

Give Thanks!
