The House of Israel and twenty-two cities of the House of Judah were taken captive by the Assyrians. The House of Israel was given a bill of divorcement from Almighty God. This ten-tribe House of Israel wouldn’t be put back into the covenant that God made with their fathers for about 700 years from the time that Ezekiel was shown this vision. By the time they were put back, they had become many nations living in different parts of the world. They had no hope of salvation without the sacrifice and resurrection of their Messiah. There wasn’t one thing that they could do.
To sacrifice your life for all three is the greatest love of all.
The European descent nations have turned their back on God’s laws and due to that God’s people have been caged in. The doors and the windows of the asylum have been barred. The heads of the asylum have taken control and confiscated all property of the children of God and even their children.
Part 1: In this study, the author discusses the importance of studying God’s holy law. There are many reasons but the most important is the law describes sin. The modern church believes the law is done away with. Changing the law makes God angry and it risks being taken out of the book of life. There are rewards and blessings from God for meditating on his laws.
Part 2: This lesson reviews the first eight laws: I am the Lord; There is only one God; Mediate upon his commandants; Fear the Lord; Serve the Lord; Cleave to God and the wise; Swear by his name; Emulate God
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
As we begin our journey into the laws of God, we start with what Paul says,
The book of Esther is the last of the twelve historical books. The author’s name is not mentioned, and neither is the name of God, which has led many to believe it is a spurious book, not belonging within the canon of Scripture. The so-called feast of Purim (named after the city of Pur) has its origin in this book, not the Pentateuch. The hero and heroine of the book bear the names of the chief Babylonian god and goddess: Marduk (Mordecai) and Ishtar (Esther… or Easter). Another point that seems inconsistent, if the book of Esther is genuine, is that Esther, the niece of Mordecai, became the queen of King Ahasuerus because of her great beauty. Though we are not told, it may be assumed that Esther fulfilled the duties of a wife with the Persian King. If this is true, then the mating with a foreign king was gross sin (unless, of course, he was Adamic). No part of Esther was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Many scholars simply consider the book a novel.

Replacement Theology is common in Western churches. It teaches that since the Jewswere scattered amongst the nations due to their rejection of God’s way, then the Christian church has replaced national Israel regarding the plan, purpose, and promises of God. I am going to examine part of two articles of two of Calvinist’s great modern-day theologians, R.C. Sproul and Loraine Boettner.
After the war between the two nations, the Union versus the Confederate States of America (1861-1865), the United States was in so much debt that it became bankrupt and as a result became a corporation in 1871. `It is well settled that the “UNITED STATES” has been a corporation, since it was incorporated on February 21, 1871 under the name “District of Columbia.” It was reorganized June 11, 1878 as a bankrupt organization and on June 5, 1933, as a de facto government; originally the ten miles square tract ceded by Maryland and Virginia and comprising Washington District of Columbia, plus the possessions, territories, forts, and arsenals. The United States was NOT founded as a democracy.

Scripture Reading: MATTHEW 13:36
Have you ever wondered why the LORD Jesus spoke in parables? One example would be the parable of the “tares of the field.” After speaking this parable, the crowd left and Jesus went into the house. His disciples shortly joined Him and asked for an explanation of the parable. Jesus only gave the interpretation of the parable to His disciples. Why? Because the crowd was not there; they had been sent away.
One of the questions that was asked by His closest followers, was why He spoke in parables. His answer would be astounding and very confusing to the modern-day Judeo-Christian. It would be hard for them to understand. For the Messiah said that it was only His disciples that were granted to know about the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to the crowd it was not granted. What? Jesus said that the multitudes were not given the opportunity to know about the mysteries of the kingdom of God.
