FAITH and the FAITH or the

MANIFESTO of the CHRISTIAN

FAITH

*Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation. We only want you to know the truth.

I had quitted anoox.com long ago. I do not associate with any organization. No organization may ask for donation in my name. I practice absolutely free access to the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ so that the poor have the Gospel preached to them absolutely free.

*THE U.S.A. MANIFESTO

*Why I believe America cannot be saved:

1. Whereas American government is systematically and structurally corrupt, it is impossible to change or reform America.

2. Trillions of dollars are involved by vested interests who are self-serving and seek to preserve America status quo.

3. There is not one strong righteous leader backed up by righteous citizens. The sign of the times is that a convicted crook and criminal wants to be the American leader.

4. The once big and dependable organizations have now become centers of falsehood. The American TVs, movies, guns, games and toys companies can only produce products of evil because violence and vulgarity make BIG money.

5. As God is my witness, I stand alone; but I have done my duty to warn the American people and I have done what I have done.

China's earthquake in Gansu-Qinghai demonstrates and proves what China has done for its people no superpower democratic or autocratic has ever done before. Some nations think and act as if they had done China a favor by declaring to keep One China policy.

China needs to use its hard-earned resources to help China Poor first. The China Poor in rural areas deserve AID because they are industrious, productive, ethical and skilled. In comparison to many poor peoples in undeveloped nations who are lazy, useless, dancing and drinking, having sex and produce many children they cannot support!!!

IOWA and New Hampshire Republicans are sick and stupid to let a convicted crook and criminal win in the Republican primaries. The whole world will laugh at the Republican Party for one hundred years!!!

The true madness is the Ukraine war supported by US, EU, and NATO, it should be ended at once unconditionally. Ukraine should immediately surrender and renouce the former goal of joining NATO.

Netanyahu has no need to run; in fact he will go down in the history of Israel and earn him a firm place in the

pantheon of Jewish legends.

Isn’t it strange that ICJ does not condemn terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis? Palestinians and Arabs are unworthy people. Hamas, Hezebollah and Houthis are wicked terrorists who must be destroyed!!!

Isn’t it strange that UN, WHO, EU, and all Arab-Islamic nations support terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis? UN chief and high-paid officials must be replaced. The terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are threats to global peace.

The terrorist Hamas also killed hostages. Families of Israeili hostages should demand Hamas to surrender and unconditionally release hostages. IDF must destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis once and for all. Hamas must unconditionally surrender and release all hostages. No one objects Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land, but Palestinians cannot build a Palestinian state in the Jewish Land!!!

Isn’t it funny that UN Security Council demands Houthis to stop Red Sea attacks? Why doesn’t UNSC demand Hamas to surrender, Hezbollah and Houthis to disappear? You do not make demands on the terrorists, you ONLY destroy them!!! Palestinian authority, Lebanon and Yemen have no reasons to exist. They exist only to do evil. Iran supports evil through words; when Iran supports evil through deeds, it has to be destroyed too.

Is it not strange not one nation demands

Hamas to surrender??? Not one nation demands Hamas to free hostages???

The 3-H Terrorists are Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis -- Hamas rules Gaza, Hezbollah Lebanon, and Houthis Yemen. Since when wicked TERRORISTS become humanitarian? Nations that support terrorists are public enemies. No one is angry at the terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Lebanon and Yemen have become legitimate targets also. Houthis are the terrorists of the Red Sea who cause world trade big losses. For peace, IDF must quickly destroy Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. It is right for USA to annihilate Houthis for good. Incredible indeed, UN, WHO, EU, all Arab-Islamic Nations recognize the legitimacy of terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis in 2023. South Africa has officially supported terrorists Hamas. For that reason South Africa must be kicked out of BRICS for good.

By God’s grace I live to be an old age. For the first time I do not believe anyone or anything. I only believe in God and Jesus Christ my Lord and Redeemer.

When Hamas governed Gaza and West Bank, Palestinians had refugee camps, shortages of many kinds; but they did not scream for aid. When Hamas suddenly attacked Israel with rockets and missiles, killed 1,400 Israelis and took hundreds of hostages, Palestinians did not shout for peace. Now Hamas are on the brink of annihilation, Palestinians yelled for ceasefire and peace and cried out for International aid. What a perverse generation!!! Palestinians are Arabs, why don’t Arab countries take in Arabs -- something seems strange.

Strangest thing: UN, WHO, EU, NATO, ARAB-ISLAMIC nations all work for the terrorists Hamas -- the historical greatest distortion.

Hamas and Palestinians do not have homeland in Israel. The sooner they realize it the better. Who is stopping Palestinians to establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land? Arabs go to Arab’s land is most reasonable. Palestinians and Arabs are unworthy. Hamas, Hezebollah and Houthis are wicked terrorists deserved to be destroyed for good.

It is Hamas and Hezbollah who have to escape. Hamas thought a surprised attack of killing more than 140 Israelis and hundreds of hostages would be a military advantage. Little they realized the collateral damages become so unbearable. Hamas are cowards who hide themselves in hospitals and schools, they were found out and targeted.

The whole world believes in a lie. Famous organizations who do not like your message call you a robot. Palestinians are very STRANGE people, when Gaza was governed by Hamas, how come there were Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza? When they are in shortage of food, water, gasoline, electricity, medicine, etc. -- they are shameless and demand the international community to give aid. There are no shortages in America, but Americans pay a high price. Have you not heard that some senior Americans ruminate whether they should take a meal or take a pill ($25 each). If they take the medicine, they have no money to take a meal. If they eat, they cannot afford to have the medicine. Some American seniors died in winter cold even though they had a heater they could not use because of the high cost of power. Some senors died in the summer because they could not afford to use the air conditioning. Some shameless peoples in the world however think they are entitled to have everything free. If they have natural or man-made disasters, they think they deserve to receive international aid somehow. Do you want to be an emperor if you have lots of money? You can be an emperor of those useless, insolvent, unproductive, unmotivated and good for nothing nations!!!

Two-state solution will work if Palestinians establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land. It will not work if they establish a Palestinian state in the Jewish land. Isn’t is STRANGE that UN, EU, all Arab and Muslim states support the terrorists Hamas to rule in a Palestinian state? The world believes in a lie. Arab-Muslim nations rally in support of Palestinians. Strangest indeed, none welcomes to take in Palestinians. The British Empire (United Kingdom) must come out to tell the truth: Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who illegally occupied the Jewish land. Israel needs a big map that describes what God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. It is a new thing under the sun that UN, WHO, and terrorists are in bed and they speak in a new tongue of humanitarian?! Terrorists become humanitarians?!

No one asks the real question? Where do Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists get their rockets, missiles, and weapons from? Since when terrorists stop killing the people? To give humanitarian aid to Palestinians is to support the terrorists. Palestinians (Arabs) must evacuate from Gaza, West Bank, etc. from Israel. Arab nations must accept Palestinians (Arabs) from the Jewish land. Palestinians (Arabs) must establish a Palestinian state in an Arab land. Israel must destroy Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists once and for all. Then conflict and crisis are ended.

Palestinians (Arabs) are displaced in Israel. Palestinians are free to go. Those who did not evacuate died in vain. Arab nations are hypocrites, not one welcomes to take in Palestinians (Arabs). Arab nations are actually causing humanitarian crisis. To demand Gaza Ceasefire is to help Hams terrorists. GAZA CRISIS was created by terrorists Hamas. Lebanon shall be destroyed for harboring terrorists Hezbollah. UN and WTO protect terrorists in the name of schools and hospitals, those died in vain. Only Egypt accepts a few Palestinians, no Arab nation is willing to taken in Gaza Palestinians (Arabs). It is high time for the British government to tell the truth to Palestinians (Arabs, Hamas) that they have no right to stay in the Jewish land. Palestinians are free to go to the Arab lands, the sooner the better.

I was willing to waste my time and effort to make a comprehensive plan to change and save America because I am an American citizen. I am not willing to waste my time and effort on United Nations because it is nothing to me. I wrote some good suggestion for China because China is the land of my ancestors. I have a few point to warn the world. 1). UN chief and some high-paid officials are good for nothing, they must be replaced. 2). UN, WHO and ICC are protecting the terrorists. 3). UN must move out of New York. 4). UN needs a new charter and requires all member states to have a NEW CONSTITUTION. The New Constitution must stipulate the majority of citizens (51%) can change government, remove any elected or appointed official instantly, and power to change government and decide any issue through the National Referendum.

What AFRICA needs most is SELF-SUFFICIENCY in everything; not useless general elections, not modernization, not deluded democracy, not new corruption replacing old corruption, not fat people who sing and dance and drink beer and produce children they cannot support, not foreign aid of any kind to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters. African nations and citizens need a NEW CONSTITUTION with majority (51%) through National Referendum to instantly remove unwanted leaders or politicians, to execute the junta of any military coups d'etat for any reason, and to change government or direction. Nations and peoples who habitually are corrupt, unmotivated, unproductive, with abilities to eat and drink beer, to sing and dance, to have sex and produce children they cannot support; unable to solve their own problems and perennial in shortages of money and basic necessities; -- who have no reason to exist should not receive any humanitarian aid.

Let us be straight. Although I am a Chinese descent, I am an American citizen; I neither work for nor speak for America or China. I speak for myself. What I am doing will not win friends and influence people. Telling the truth always offends people, like dropping a bomb. Why Africa is constantly in turmoil, civil war or war with neighbors, corruption, destructive and unproductive behavior? Whether natural or man-made disasters, Africa always suffers shortages of basic necessities, shortages of money. I know white racism is bad. Do you think for 500 years white colonialists gave up Africa for nothing? Why there are no black leaders and peoples to stand up for Africa? Some black athletes are so proud that they could run faster and jump farther and higher; but they do not contribute one penny GDP to their respective countries. Why the black race is the most useless race in the world? Those tourists who visited Africa in spite of high risks are very stupid indeed. I believe only Protestant Ethic can save Africa. Black leaders and peoples have to embrace Protestant Ethic to save themselves. You do not need to be a Protestant to practice Protestant Ethic. Years ago America was built great by Protestant Ethics. Protestant nations are corrupted now. You do not know Protestant Ethic? Ask and learn from China who is not a Protestant country. Whether black leaders and peoples will have self-respect, self-dignity, hard work, thrift and self-discipline only history will tell. In all sports (whether Basket ball, Foot ball, Soccer, etc. It is wrong and unfair for Black Athletes to join White (European) or Chinese or Asian teams or groups. Black Athletes should join only Black teams or represent Africa. HAVE you ever thought why most of the illegal migrants are Black? Contrary to common belief, unlawful and illegal migrants do not have human rights. For that reason Pakistan in one day deported 1.2 million illegal Afghan migrants. Jus as your neighbors cannot enjoy sex and produce a bunch of children they do not support and force you to support them. There is nothing wrong with Texas anti-immigration law. Mexico has been the conduit for unlawful migrants for many years. When illegal and unlawful migrants force themselves in, American government has every right to use military force to expel them and expel them for good. No humanitarian aid may be given to unworthy crooks and criminals.

It is hoped American and European (Western) leaders and politicians realize and repent that imperialism, supremacism, American phony democracy, capitalism and hegemony is wrong. All the world ideology is wrong!!! Only Christ can save.

Palestinians in Gaza died because they refused to evacuate. After Israel made repeated and urgent orders for Gaza to evacuate. Hamas uses Palestinian children for protection. UN and WHO use schools and hospitals to protect terrorists. Only Egypt has taken less than 100 injured Palestinians. Not one Arab nation demonstrates its sincerity to take in Palestinians (Arabs) from Gaza. As Israel forces advance on grounds, Hamas buried tons of explosives and bombs in Gaza. The world must help Israel to eliminate the wicked Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists once and for all. America must destroy any nation that attacks Israel, including Iran.

The UN is a useless organization. What it should do, it does not. What it should not do, it does. In truth, Palestinians have no “legitimate right” in the Promised land. God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. During the British colonial rule, Palestinians and Hamas were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into the Promised Land (so-called Palestine) unlawfully. Hamas dared to make first the barbaric attack of Israel. Hamas made the first barbaric attack, killed more than 1,400 Jews, took hundreds of hostages, illegally occupied the Jewish land -- are these not war crimes? Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are known terrorists. UN is using all its resources to help the terrorists. They and Arab nations want to cease fire now, because they are afraid with one stroke Israel can wipe out Hamas and Hezbollah and illegal occupants. Whatever strategy Israel uses to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel illegal Palestinians effectively is a good strategy. Peoples of Arab and Muslim nations protest for Palestinians, yet no Arab or Muslim nation wants to welcome or take in any Palestinians. Iran is warned not to participate in the war, lest it be totally ANNILATED. Israel has no option but to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel all Palestinians from the Jewish Land. The territories occupied by Palestinians and Hamas are the Jewish land. There is no Palestinian land in the Jewish land. It is high time that Israel gets rid of all Palestinians, Hamas, Arabs from the Jewish land. No aid should be given to Palestine or Palestinians. The “legitimate aspirations” of Palestinians are to get out the Jewish Land at once to establish a Palestinian state in Arab land or there will be conflict and no peace. Syria is not wise to provide weapons to Hamas. Israel is surrounded by enemies. A stupid question: Where do Palestinians go? Palestinians are Arabs, Arabs go to the lands of Arabs. After all have been said, it is awakening and eye-opening: Arab countries do not want Palestinian Arabs. Their doors are closed. All Arab nations and peoples in protests support the Palestinians; but most strangely no Arab nation would indeed welcome or take in Palestinians (Arabs). Why should there be any reason for Israel to let Palestinians (Arabs) and Hamas live in the Jewish land? Arab nations and peoples who protest for Palestinians should indeed take Palestinians in. Palestinians may go to the Red Sea. Watch will their god open the Red Sea so that Palestinians may walk through dry land?

UN and WHO use all their resources to support and aid terrorists. And yet not one ARAB nation welcomes the illegal occupants of Palestinians in the Jewish land. UN and Arab nations do not demand Hamas to immediately release more than 230 Israel hostages. Hamas does not evacuate children since Israel made repeated urgent orders. Because Hamas are using Palestinian children for their protection. The bloods of Palestinian children killed are on Hamas and Arab nations. UN and WHO use schools and hospitals to protect the terrorists. What is needed is NOT more aid trucks to Gaza but massive evacuations of illegal Palestinians into Arab nations. There are no Palestine refugees, there are only illegal Palestine migrant occupations of Jewish land. UN and Arab nations do not condemn Hamas and Hezbollah for attacks of Israel with full force of rockets and missiles, killing 1,400 Israeli, taken more than 230 hostages. Europeans and Arab nations have massive protests for Palestinians. I have seen the ugly faces of many races and nations. I have lost faith in UNITED NATIONS. I have reached the conclusion: there is no hope for the world, “without God, without hope.”

The only thing that the US does right is to support Israel to eliminate Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi and expel all Palestinians and Arabs from the Jewish land once and for all. The war will be ended when the enemies of Israel Hamas and Hezbollah are destroyed and all Palestinians are expelled from the Jewish Land. If there is any Arab joint action to help Hamas and Hezbollah by attacking Israel, America should destroy those Arab nations with full force. Israel appears to be alone, but God will fight for Israel. Israel will be victorious to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah and expel illegal occupant Palestinians from Israel, and the children of the evil prophet will go to Hell.

No true Christians can enjoy seeing a fake courtroom sketch of Jesus by Trump’s side. Donald Trump is not a Christian, much less like Jesus, more like a son of the devil. Jesus says, Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.” It is not known that during his presidency did he order killing in American foreign wars covert and overt. Courts are charging him of frauds and lies. Clearly, Donald Trump is a liar, there is no truth in him. He is the most disgraced leader, demagogue and shameless character in American history, unfit and unworthy to run as a presidential candidate of any party. Jesus also says, Mat 7:20, “So then, you will know them by their fruits.” Jhn 10:27, “My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

A so-called Christian organization is quoting the American military, “The head of the U.S. Strategic Command has said the aggressive actions from the US rivals of China and Russia are creating the “real possibility” of nuclear war.” AS A REASON THAT PEOPLE SHOULD GIVE MONEY TO THEM. “The prophecy has come true, the perilous times are here. The need is greater than ever before. If each of our viewers would give a donation, no matter the amount, you will help ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue to be shared here with the world. Please Give Here any amount, no matter the size, to help us continue sharing more signs of Biblical prophecy. ” The Bible prophesy will come true and we do not need to ensure the signs of Biblical prophecy continue. The dichotomy THAT the US is the good guy and Russia and China are bad guys -- is complete false and un-Biblical. It is the aggression and world domination of the West that cause the peril and threat to the world today, as evident in the Ukraine war that many Europeans oppose their governments to follow America. America is not a Christian nation and it is not on the side of Jesus Christ -- the West is the agent of the devil creating the possibility of a nuclear war that will destroy the whole world. Western leaders and politicians are blind and fools who believe they can win in a nuclear war.

Western media is not only fraudulent but most malicious and fictitious and WICKED, they are in concert declare: Who killed the Chinese economy? With two insidious and treacherous objectives: one is to create internal conflict in China to blame someone; two is a desperate distortion of fact. This Western media dare not say anything about American and European economy; Why? They are afraid of self-fulfilled prophesy. Mark Twain had an answer for them, “The reports of the death of China’s economy are greatly and grossly exaggerated.” China has the best and greatest economy in the world. It is hoped my suggestions as follows are noticed. Some Western media poisons the well by fraudulently declaring the end of China’s economic miracle. It unwittingly admits China’s economy is a miracle. If you have a perspective of China from 1985 to the present of 2023, you know for sure the spectacular successes of China in every field is truly a miracle. China’s economy will continue to boom endlessly and indefinitely for the following reasons: 1. China cracks down on corruption more effectively. 2. China continues to build on productive infrastructures. 3. China continues to increase solar and wind energy. 4. China eradicates frauds and crimes by law. 5. China streamlines central and local governments. 6. China uses budget and debt wisely and sparingly. 7. China produces desirable foreign investment environment. 8. China encourages and promotes big city night markets. 9. China facilitates and encourages internal tourism. 10. China increases growth and productivity of rural areas. 11. China solicits public opinion and maintain high approval. 12. China continues multilateralism and opposes hegemony.

ACCORDING TO Elizabeth Gulino, “According to a 2007 story in The Atlantic, Cullen Murphy, author of Are We Rome? The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America, says there are six areas that create a compelling argument that ancient Rome and the U.S. are alike: “an exaggerated sense of self importance coupled with a myopic view of the world; a military overstretched and alienated from civilian society; an imprudent rush toward the privatization of public services; a mounting struggle to police borders; and, finally, the inherent impossibility of managing an environment of such burgeoning complexity.”

I see two most fatal areas: An exaggerated sense of self importance as an empire coupled with a deadly wrong myopic view of the world; an aggressive military overstretched and bent on world domination… American leaders and politicians are leading America to commit suicide. To save America, a NEW CONSTITUTION is needed for change.

Illegal migrants crisis exist because the UN and world leaders mismanage. The measures to solve the crisis are the following:

1). The UN must require all member states to have a New Constitution.

2). The New Constitution must stipulate the majority of citizens (51%) have the power and right to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment, change the government, change national policy, change the way of government, etc. through national referendum.

3). All military coups d'état are unlawful for whatever reason, participating generals or junta shall be executed without appeal.

4). All civil wars and war with neighbors, armed conflicts, gangs and riots, terrorists, violence and corruption are unlawful, the responsible parties shall be executed without appeal.

5). Any nation who created self-destructive problems will receive no international aid or intervention. There will be no peace-keeping troops.

6). All unlawful migrants are not true refugees, but economic and fortune seekers, public enemies who are useless for self-support, fancy themselves to enter rich nations and live on welfare for the rest of their lives.

7). All nations must declare whether they accept or reject illegal migrants and political asylums.

8). The majority of Americans reject illegal migrants, demand to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, and reject so-call asylum seekers. No humanitarian aid will be given to illegal migrants. They will be forced to return where they come from.

9). America builds walls, fences, wires, etc. to deter illegal migrants and attacks Mexico who serves as a conduit for illegal migrants.

10). Any forced entry to America by illegal migrants will be expelled by military force, the borders will be secured by the military to prevent illegal entry. Only American citizens may apply for welfare and it requires work. No single or unmarried woman may produce many children without husbands and receive welfare benefits. Any man who gets a woman pregnant shall be responsible financially and socially for woman and child.

Global hunger exists mostly because many useless nations do not produce, but they are able to engage in national conflict, corruption, civil wars, war with neighbor (s), military coups d'etat , destructive behavior. Nations like Sudan have no reasons to exist. The UN mismanages. China should not waste its hard-earned resources. The international community should not give aid to violent and worthless nations.

According to https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/blind-see-kill-u-s-pacific-commanders-grand-networking-plan-to-take-on-china?utm_term=The%20War%20Zone_Wire_08.31.23&utm_campaign=The%20War%20Zone_Dedicated/Sales&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email

“Admiral John Aquilino, commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), offered remarkably detailed comments on what he sees as critical future capabilities needed to fight and win a high-end conflict in his vast area of responsibility — namely against China.”

Historically, America has wronged China many times. Not once has China wronged America. The American leadership and its military have conspired to destroy China anyway without cause. America has prepared QUAD and AUKUS to do the job. American leaders and politicians have determined to do EVIL despite against the wishes and will of the people. America does not have a Constitution that stipulates the national sovereignty lies in the hands of majority citizens. Majority of citizens are powerless to remove unwanted leaders and change the government. Be alert, the DOOMSDAY Clock has struck! Nuclear exchange will SOON wipe out humanity and Jesus Christ is coming to judge and rule.

Japan has willfully begun the third release of nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific because there are not enough good nations to rise up and retaliate and sanction against the evil empire of Japan. Japan has willfully done the great evil and harm, no longer persuasion; Japanese arrogance calls for retaliation and retribution. August 24, 2023 was the day of infamy because Japanese government, in spite of strong internal and external oppositions, on purpose most outrageously, irreversibly, and irresponsibly dumped nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific to harm the world. The war crime nation never fulfills its unconditionally surrendered obligations or abides by International Law. Japan does the easy evil way because it costs them nothing. I salute Hong Kong and Macao and nations to boldly boycott imported food from Japan. All decent nations must rise up to sanction

against Japan in food ban.

A man who has been charged, indicted, arrested, mug shot taken, on high bail is a crook and criminal and not a Christian, forever unfit and unqualified to be a presidential candidate of any party but locked up or exiled for good. America is doomed by the world forces of spiritual darkness because of unwise Americans who support diabolical Donald Trump to make himself great by destroying America!!!

China is right and smart to diversify its portfolio by adding more gold reserves. Even EURO is not good. However, the gold must be stored at home safer than Fort Knox.

According to https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/page1-econ/2.019/11/01/making-sense-of-the-national-debt “Governments (and their economies) do not retire, and governments do not die (or don't intend to).”

I hold if America continues financing high deficits and debts, and foreign wars BY printing money, America is committing suicide intending or not. The day of reckoning is near.

QUAD (USA,Japan,Australia,India) and AUKUS (Australia, U.K. and U.S.) cohabit and conspire to target China. China does not have quarrel with India. China-India border conflict was a result of the British empire made the Indian map bigger by misappropriated and illegally incorporated large Chinese territories into the Indian map. The fraudulent British officials deliberately fail to tell the truth to the Indian government. Since QUAD & AUKUS are incompatible with BRICKS. India for ulterior motive has violated BRICKS, it should withdraw or be expelled. Indonesia is fit to replace India in BRICKS perfect.

There are many poor and backward nations in the world like leeches who suck the blood of China. I cannot list those nations who have no reason to exist, lest I will be the target. If this bloodsucking activity is not stopped, China will be sucked dry and poor again. China must not set a bad precedent in giving loan to any nation. A nation does not have enough money should not start a project. A nation can go to IMF, World Bank, and Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for a loan, or a nation can sell its assets to pay for projects.

Useless and violent Sudan holds the world as hostage and acts with contempt because world leaders are stupid. What to do with Sudan? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Sudanese glorify and pride themselves in killing its own Black people. Let them do it! Never negotiate; never give aid; never interfere! Let Sudan alone and in a year or so Sudan will vanish from the world! The world should make Sudan a pariah nation, a bad example.

American rising debt is not only a measure of Washington’s profligacy which has nothing to do with income distortion, it is completely due to the evil national policy of American imperialism and world domination -- I always hold this leads to American suicide. There is no confused thinking. China should never follow America in rising debt and deficits.

War in Ukraine: Lives and livelihoods, lost and disrupted. No one to blame except the stupid Ukrainians themselves and its nincompoop leader who is obedient running dog of the West and wants to prolong the proxy war indefinitely with billions of dollars, cluster bombs and F-16. In spite of corruption, US, EU and NATO support Ukraine.

It is vital for China to provide free prenatal care, free delivery of baby (including hospitalization), free one-year nursing supply of baby formula and baby diaper to increase birth rate. 1,500 is deductible from income tax per family per child. The mother has the right to be off from work for 3 months with pay and job guaranteed when return to work. China needs to cut foreign aid in order to aid China’s poor first.

Since Ukraine has admitted the terrorist acts of blasting substantial damages to Crimean Bridge, ICC must issue a warrant to arrest the nincompoop of Ukraine and execute him to stop the war. The UN must identify the terrorists who blew up Nord Stream pipelines and execute them without further delay.

The UN must condemn any nation that uses cluster ammunitions or bombs in Ukraine or anywhere.

BRICKS was established to weaken American hegemony and circumvent the Western domination. India would be in conflict of interest to be used by America in QUAD. BRICKS would be a mistake in developing a new global currency. The strong and reliable Chinese yuan () can compete or even displace the US dollar. Each member state should strengthen its finance and economy. France and more than 100 nations should be welcome to join BRICKS at once.

Under US protection, the war crime nation Japan has never fulfilled its agreement as an unconditional surrended nation. Japan has never paid one penny for killing 35 million Chinese, making millions of slave workers, and hundred thousands of sex slaves which Japanese military conveniently called “comfort women.” The US has re-militarized Japan as its running dog in Asia; now it boldly violates international law by deliberately dumping nuclear contaminated waste water into the Pacific to harm the whole world, in spite of being opposed strongly by overwhelming majority of Japanese citizens, opposed by its neighbors and island nations. Among other measures, the international community must rise up to ban and boycott the imported food and goods from Japan.

Ukraine is an evil the world must get rid of promptly: The Ukrainian nincompoop must be executed at once as a war criminal; knowingly or unknowingly, Putin has fallen into the Western trap. Led by US, EU, NATO, etc. blindly promote and prolong the most meaningless war.

Russia needs to declare a clear policy: Whenever and wherever Russia is being attacked by NATO, with absolute certainty Russia will respond with nuclear weapons.

Ukraine will collapse in one day if US, Canada, EU, G-7, NATO, UK, etc. stop giving financial and military aid, and the Ukrainian war criminal is executed at once. The war will end and there will be peace.

Most Americans do not understand the consequences of US Debt Limit. American leaders and politicians of both parties have mismanaged

the country with negligence and neglect. Even with the highest debt, they sent billions and billions of borrowed money and weapons to corrupt Ukraine to prolong the war. By spending spree they commit America to suicide. Reform will not save America, America needs Revolution as suggested by founding fathers. America needs to ditch phony democracy by a New Constitution that stipulates national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) of American citizens through a National Referendum, Americans have power to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment to change the government.

Jesus Christ is coming again!

The world must finally wake up to the dark evil forces and face an aggressive, belligerent, irrational, hegemonic and bad-faith superpower who seeks its monopoly on global power and is the greatest source of instability, chaos, inflation, injustice, trouble and conflict in the world -- which is seeking to contain Russia and China, and strategically crush them at all costs. The West has wronged China since the infamous Opium Wars to the present. Not only there will be no peace, these hostile activities and militant mind-set will inevitably leads to a coming nuclear war to destroy the whole world.

China has never invaded any country, or imposed sanctions that have devastated the lives of millions in poor countries including Cuba, Syria, etc, unlike the West, led by the United States out of irrational fear to sanction Russia and China without cause. From the “yellow peril” of the late 1800s and from the infamous Opium Wars to the present, Western nations are blatant and wicked racists that wronged China and the Chinese too many times. They have the gall to claim and pretend to be Christians. Let all followers of Jesus Christ see the Western demons disguised as angels of light, the apparent evil that brings about unjust wars and evil deeds. You know why? The West wants continuously to rule and dominate the world, Russia and China stand in the way.

According to https://unherd.com/thepost/who-really-blew-up-the-nord-stream-2-pipeline/

“Suspicions about the US were first raised when former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski tweeted a message of thanks to the USA following the attack, which he later deleted. Viral clips of Joe Biden two weeks before the invasion then circulated, in which the President said: “If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2.”

Although most mainstream publications kept their powder dry about who the guilty party was, other independent journalists decided to take the plunge. Last week, a Substack article by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, entitled ‘How America took out the Nord Stream Pipeline’ was published, in which Hersh alleged — based on a single, unnamed source — that it was US Navy divers who, using a NATO military exercise as a cover, planted mines along the Nord Stream 2 pipelines that were later detonated remotely. These allegations were strenuously denied by the White House.

This is the most detailed account yet of America’s supposed involvement, but Hersh is not the first to make such claims. Indeed, shortly after the explosion it was another public figure, Jeffrey Sachs, who was leading the charge, claiming that America was the guilty party. Sachs is a world-renowned economist, professor of Public Policy at Columbia University and former Special Advisor to the UN Secretary General. He joined Freddie Sayers to discuss why he believed that the big mystery as to who was behind the attack was no mystery at all:

This was not an easy operation to carry out. It’s the kind of operation that the CIA and other covert parts of the US government do carry out rather routinely, by the way[…] the United States was basically the only country with the motive, the means.

- JEFFREY SACHS

America’s history of interference abroad is well-documented, but did other countries not have a motive too? Other likely suspects could feasibly include Ukraine, but also Russia itself — chaotic, irrational behaviour is not an uncommon characteristic of Putin’s Russia. Besides, was it not a slight stretch of the imagination to claim that the US would order the destruction of a piece of public infrastructure that partly belongs to a NATO ally?

Sachs dismissed these questions as as “absurd” and declared that those who didn’t believe America would act against allies in pursuit of its own interests “don’t really know the US.” He believes that decades of antagonistic relations with Russia culminated in the Nord Stream attack, which American foreign policymakers have long viewed as a threat.

According to Sachs, the America neoconservative view of Russia and the war has now become mainstream. Where Europe’s acquisition of cheap Russian gas was once viewed as ‘trade’, it is now seen as a dependency. That said, the small detail of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may have played a part in that.”

The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony,warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.

The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly. AID to such a useless nation would be a big WASTE!!!

In spite of official Ukraine corruption, most of the nations are insolvent and chaotic, the clear intent of Germany, UK, US and NATO is to have a direct war with Russia, and thus pushes the Doomsday closer. They proceed from evil to evil. Most scientists believe the Doomsday is close, the Bible teaches the end of the world is near. The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet is so puffed up that he rejected peace talk and he does not want peace since he has got so much money, arms, weapons, tanks and jet fighters.

What the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet needs are not tanks, but the greatest TERROR the West can give to Ukraine is NOTHING: NO ARMS, NO MONEY, NO WEAPONS. Then the war will be over, and there will be peace in the world; as well as a footnote in history: Ukraine “a heap of ruins” vanishes from the world in the 21^st century.

The UN Security Council is barking at the wrong tree. There are people who do not want to know the truth, they believe in a lie. Gaza, West Bank, Holy Mount all belong to the Jewish land. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas do not legally or historically have any claim to the Jewish land, no part or portion whatsoever. There is no place for Islamic mosque in Jerusalem, it must be moved or be removed. The only way to peace is for the Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to get out of the Promised Land as soon as possible. Palestinian can and must establish a Palestinian state in any Arab land, but never in the Jewish land.
Putin orders ceasefire, but the nincompoop of Ukraine rejects it. The Western puppet wants money and weapons to continue the war. As long as US, UK, EU, NATO, FRANCE, G-7, GERMANY, ETC. give money and weapons to Ukraine, there will be no peace. The Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet only wants money and weapons, he does not care a bit about the unnecessary deaths of his people and devastation of his country. Western leaders and politicians are not very smart for knowing the war causes global inflation, high costs of living, energy crisis and hardship which benefits America only, and yet they follow America like sheep to be slaughtered. Putin may destroy Ukraine and leave Ukraine desolate.

I urgently need an unconditionally free website so that I can proclaim the truth without fear and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. If you are able and willing to provide such free website, please contact https://wongwillie.tuta.com/

I THANK YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. Beijing does not and never poses threat to global order. US is employing all means possible to do harm to China. It is US, EU and NATO which pose the greatest threat to world peace and security by seeking absolute military superiority in order to dominate the world. The international community should not fund or help Ukraine to reconstruct.

Ukraine war is one of many examples which creates inflation, high cost of living, energy crisis which increase the population of the poor, hardship and unnecessary deaths. The Western mass media is spewing out trillion tons of black lies and falsehoods deliberately to fool the world.

US already has Nuclear Warheads, Over 3,750 which can destroy the world over and over. Pentagon is not interested in $21 trillion it cannot be accounted for. Pentagon is worried that China could have 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035. The only reason Pentagon does not start a nuclear war is the assured response of Russia. To maintain world peace, it is wise for Russia and China to stand together. America ceases not to seek absolute military superiority. American strategists believe they would win a nuclear war. Sooner or later a nuclear war will break out, that spells the destruction of the whole world. Are you ready for the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ?

The wicked get worse and worse, more and more outrageous. A group of so-called scientists sell eternal life, you have to subscribe. This is a fraud. No scientists ever lived past 110 years. No matter how mega rich you are, Jesus says you will die in your sins. No matter how poor you are, Jhn 3:36, “The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”

Many American citizens do not know the truth. Pelosi does not step down, she is involuntarily ousted. Her illegal trip to Taiwan did do her in. The majority of Americans voted against her and so she loses her position AND power in the House.

As usual, GENERAL elections give the world a doped appearance of “American democracy” and American voters a false sense of security because “I VOTED.” Trump is a disgraced leader and a non-Christian. Both leaders are major causes of American decline. It makes the 1% rulers of America richer and more powerful. What America really needs is an election to vote to change the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) American citizens through National Referendum can remove the bad and wrong leader instantly, and stops the wrong national policy of wasting trillions of dollars in all foreign military adventures and abandons support to Ukraine war immediately. The two American parties have betrayed America. America needs leaders and politicians who can solve inflation, high cost of living, high crime, injustice, gender inequality, racial discrimination, suicidal and uncompetitive America, dilapidated infrastructure, and invasion of illegal migrants at once. America needs a Jeffersonian revolution!

US. BORDERS

Whereas for years American consecutive and successive administrations had failed to secure the American borders and deter illegal aliens from entry into America. This strategy is formulated at no cost to the US government but intended to protect the American interests once and for all.

1. The US Constitution MUST be revised to stipulate the American national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With majority (51%) American citizens have the power through the National Referendum to remove any official instantly on GROUND of no confidence and without impeachment and change any national policy or government immediately.
2. The US Constitution declares the illegal immigrants of any variety have no rights to and in America, all the illegal aliens already residing in America shall be deported without delay at once. They have been mislabeled as refugees.

3. The US Constitution declares children of illegal aliens born in America are not considered American citizens, therefore they must also be deported without appeal.

4. The US Constitution shall put the political asylum applications on hold for 100 years.

5. The US welcomes immigrants of high calibre, good education and upright morality without consideration of race, color, or religion. Right now America needs more MDs and RNs, and their applications have high priority.

6. The US Constitution declares American English as the only official language in the United States, to be used in all government and business, air ports, schools and everywhere. The US government shall not provide translation or interpreters. All foreign languages can be used in private without any restriction.

7. The US shall turn welfare into workfare. Only American citizens or residents may apply for public assistance. Those who receive public assistance must work for it. An unmarried woman without husband who produces children can not be qualified for welfare. To receive welfare the unmarried woman has to be sterilized and all her children for public adoption. Illegal aliens or illegal immigrants shall receive no public assistance whatsoever.

8. The US shall put up walls or fences necessary to make American borders secure. An invasion of illegal immigrants to America shall be deterred by American military force. Mexico must not be used by economic or illegal immigrants under any pretense. There is no negotiation for illegal immigrants.

9. No American citizen or business or institution may hire or give aid to illegal aliens and illegal immigrants which constitutes a violation of federal law.

10. American farmers who need extra workers during harvest time may apply to the Department of Labor to hire some seasonable migrant workers with temporary permits. After the end of employment, all seasonal migrant workers must return to where they come from without extension and without change of their status.

EU, GANG-7, AND NATO SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND DISSOLVED BECAUSE THEY EXIST ONLY TO DO EVIL TO EUROPEANS AND PEOPLES OF THE WORLD. UKRAINE SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND NEVER TO BE REBUILT, TO SERVE AS A WARNING TO ANY PUPPET GOVERNMENT WHICH WANTS WAR and NOT PEACE.

The Identity Theft runs amok in America. A change of law requires the government to promptly handle the case. The crook identified who cumulatively defrauds $1 million or more shall be executed at once without appeal and his/her picture is published nationwide.

I agree with Andrew Lapin that Nearly half of US adults believe America should be a ‘Christian nation’. If Pew Research Center included children, the overwhelming of Americans want to be a Christian nation. But America is NOT a Christian nation because its leaders and politicians conduct themselves against the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not appreciate it. To be obedient to Jesus Christ is not Christian nationalism, not white supremacy, NOT Affirmative Action. A Christian nation would not threaten any nation, but “seek peace” and “practice righteousness.” 1Jo 3:10.

This is not the first time, somebody offers me money for my articles or writings, in cooperation to link to my website. My answer is always: I proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free, only the Truth, nothing but the Truth. We do not believe in mixing the Truth with ulterior motive of money. My BOSS is one and only Jesus Christ.

“Building A Beautiful China Where Humanity and Nature Co-exist In Harmony.” This is a correct and sound national policy unprecedented in the history of mankind. The West is out of their minds to oppose and regard China as a threat, the aggressor, and many other lies. THE US HAS MADE TOO MANY ACTS WHICH ARE HOSTILE, RESTRICTED, ANTIGONISTIC, DETRIMENTAL AND HARMFUL TO CHINA.

Japan is another foreign ally like many Western nations that practices sham (fake) Western democracy, although 60% of Japanese people oppose Abe’s state funeral, as usual the Japanese government never pays attention to the will and wish of Japanese people in its national policy anyway.

The only turning point is to execute the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet for war crimes and blast of Crimea bridge. The Western bloc ceases to send money and weapons to Ukraine, and stop the war at once. IMF-WOLRD BANK should not waste money on any puppet nation which does not want peace but want war, led by the nincompoop to death and destruction by choice. See big talk can do anything good in doing reconstruction.

The UNITED NATIONS should move out of New York, USA, so that the representatives and delegates of UN do not need visas issued and controlled by the US government. Visas should be issued automatically.

We agree with Jeff Melton, “The Ukraine Tragedy: Made in America”, with the collaboration of the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet. The international community has no reason to help Ukraine in anyway.

The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet rejects peace, he wants more money so that his regime can live lavishly on American Taxpayer money of $8.8 billion a month, and more heavy weapons, tanks and foreign troops to prolong the war, so that more thousands of Ukrainians may die, and millions more of refugees and displaced person and global inflation and high cost of living. What nation on earth can have $8.8 billion to spend a month?

American leaders and politicians are wantonly giving away US taxpayer money that we don’t have and give to useless, corrupt and unworthy countries. Enough is enough. Americans RISE UP to reject committing suicide and futile intervention of other nations. A REVOLUTION is needed to save America from its wrong leaders and politicians and wrong path of destruction.

Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons. Japan will be the second.

According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ

“While it wages a proxy war on Russia in Ukraine, the US-led NATO military alliance plans to encircle China and expand into the Asia-Pacific region, collaborating with Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.

NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its cross-hairs set on both Russia and China.

Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.

While it is flooding Ukraine with weapons and training far-right fighters to kill Russians, NATO is simultaneously threatening China, and expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific in hopes of containing Beijing.”

Vanity of vanity, absurdity of absurdity, insanity of insanity; American, EU, NATO, UK, FRANCE, GERMANY, CANADIAN, AUSTRALIAN and Japanese leaders and politicians, do not realize what they are doing are not only EVIL, but absolutely Stupid, Senseless, and Simpleminded. They blindly send weapons overseas to fuel and perpetuate wars. Sanctions are suicides. Putin executed a master stroke in demanding unfriendly countries to pay gas in Russian rubles. From now on the world will recognize Ruble (₽) , and

CNY - Chinese Yuan (RMB)

Millions of Ukrainians seem to be dummies because they do not realize all their problems and troubles are caused by nincompoop Ukrainian president. This is the outcome of failure and flaw of so-called Western democracy and election that one ignorant man is the downfall and deaths of many. Once elected the leader becomes a demagouge and dictator doing evil to his people and country. No one stops him.

*Wednesday was May 4, 2022. The DAY OF INFAMY.

I cry for a million Americans who died needlessly because of the neglect and negligence of American leaders and politicians who have blood on their hands. America is the no. 1 in medical facilities, doctors, nurses, medical specialists, drugs, equipment and supplies; yet America is the NO. I in COVID-19 deaths. They have plenty of money to send weapons to perpetuate wars overseas. They do not have money to prevent and cure COVID-19 at home.

Nixon looks greater and greater in history, while his successors look smaller and smaller, worse are those warmongers, incompetent, and cowardly in taking action against in justice.

Why the world rejects Western-led global order? Because Western-led global order means the West practices aggression, oppression, repression, intervention, exploitation, corruption, deception, disinformation, sanction, obstruction, subjection, superimposition, transgression, humiliation, polarization, deterioration, and Western domination and disintegration. Are you not sick of Western-led global order which causes and creates so much troubles and tragedies in the world?... When will Western leaders and politicians, and Western mainstream media repent and realize they have been doing evil for too and so long? Western false propaganda and continuous military provocations may snow ball into real wars in Taiwan, Ukraine, etc. and lead to nuclear war that will destroy the whole world.

You must be a hopeless supremacist to disagree with President Xi Jinping’ message:

“The right way forward for humanity is peaceful development and win-win cooperation. Different countries and civilizations may prosper together on the basis of respect for each other, and seek common ground and win-win outcomes by setting aside differences.

We should follow the trend of history, work for a stable international order, advocate common values of humanity, and build a community with a shared future for mankind. We should choose dialogue over confrontation, inclusiveness over exclusion, and stand against all forms of unilateralism, protectionism, hegemony or power politics.”

For too long leaders and peoples of corrupt, bankrupt, insolvent, backward, unproductive, self-destructive, useless, no-reason-to-exist nations that have no abilities in nation building, but plenty of abilities in creating chaos, civil wars, criminal activities, military coups, and setting fire on their own nations, etc.; the world should not send humanitarian aid or peace-keeping troops; but watch aftermath if they sincerely want to become decent countries, then give them help with conditions. All military coups should be classified as rebellion and mutiny, and all military leaders shall be executed without appeal.

Out of the wicked comes wickedness: the corrupt practices of politicization of trade, sports, diplomacy, technology; dirty persons of accusing others being dirty, immoral persons of accusing others immoral. America executes diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, but American sportsmen and sportswomen are eager to participate. American government goes against the will and wishes of its people and that is called democracy and freedom and human rights.

LONG LIVE ISRAEL! GOD WILL FIGHT FOR ISRAEL! Palestinians are illegal Arabs who do not have the right of self-determination in the Jewish land. They can have the right of self-determination in any Arab land.

I congratulate China for:

(1). Lifting out 780 million peasants from abject poverty. No nation has ever done before. I understand Norway was the first country to eliminate poverty. But Norway is a small nation with a population of 5.35 million (2019). I like Norway, had been there; although I disagree with its government.

(2). Spectacular successes in infrastructure development, including Railway, High Speed Railway, International Railway, subway, -- the no. 1 in the world.

“US, EU concerned by China's 'problematic and unilateral actions' at sea”. This is so diabolical, it is US, EU under so-called freedom of navigation have their aircraft carriers, war ships, nuclear submarines coming to Yellow Sea, South China Sea, and the East China Sea. When did you find China’s warship in American Sea and EU Sea? Taiwan is a province of China, nothing to do with US, EU. The wicked are expert in distortion. The greatest problems in the world are US, EU and Islamic Terrorists.

How to solve the unwanted, undesirable, violent illegal migrants problems: Do not let them enter. Do not give aid or help. They will return to where they come from.

China does not attack or occupy any country. China wants America to get off its back. Let China alone. Let there be peace. White supremacists ask, Where Xis China Is Heading? Not because they have good will towards China.

In spite of wasting 20 years of war, wasting 8 trillions of dollars, with superior military might and weapons, with deaths of many American soldiers, in August 2021, Afghanistan has fallen into the hands of Taliban. The deadly and fatal mistakes repeated again and again by the American government all because there is no vested sovereign power in the hands of American citizens. American leaders and politicians can do whatever as they please. The American citizens are powerless to stop them. They have all the power and the American people have none. Therefore a Constitutional change is required urgently to vest the sovereign power of America into the hands of American citizens to save America without further delay!! How can the U.S. help solve global problems, like Covid-19 and climate change when the U.S. actually are the problems? If America has true democracy, why American citizens do not have Constitutional Sovereign Right in executing National Referendum and politicians do as they please with indemnity? Which nation has committed most war crimes and genocide and destruction since the end of World War II?

Crooks and criminals are using emails boldly and freely to commit unlimited lawlessness to blackmail, defraud, deceive, extort, and terrorize law-abiding people; no legitimate government, country or international body is doing any legal act to punish and stop these crooks and criminals in this hour of the power of darkness displayed by children of the devil. Warmongers are honored as architects of peace. Pompeo is a warmonger and a betrayer of Nixon’s peace policy. The wicked distort the truth, propagate lies and falsehoods and trample on justice. May God demonstrate His wrath upon them soon!

Zone Alarm of Check Point is the global virus and the Internet terrorist. ZONE ALARM IS THE WORLD’S #1 CYBER THREAT TODAY. It has invaded my computer, hiding and causing dysfunctions and all sorts of operative troubles and wasted much of my time. It does not have valid name or valid file so you can delete it. It is costly to the user to reinstall the computer system. The powerful federal government should prosecute those who are responsible for evildoing and liquidate the children of darkness and children of the devil once and for all.

PLEASE DESTROY ZONE ALARM THE GLOBAL VIRUS - THE INTERNET TERRORIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMERICA HAS INVENTED A DISTORTED MAGIC MIRROR: WHEN AMERICAN LEADERS AND POLITICIANS SEE THEMSELVES SOLELY BUSY AGGRESSIVE, OPPRESSIVE, DECEPTIVE, PROVOCATIVE, ABUSIVE, DESTRUCTIVE, LYING, KILLING, ROBBING, SANCTIONING, SPYING, SABOTAGING, MAKING ILLEGAL LAWS, FULL OF MALICE AND DEVOID OF GOOD WILL … IT HAS A PERVERTED VIEW AND CHANGES THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY AND THEY CALL IT CHINA.

The fake claim and biggest black lie is black Jews. Abraham was not a Negro, the twelve tribes of Israel were not Negroes. David was not a Negro. Jesus was born a Jew, not a Negro. There are no black Jews. Merriam Webster defines Negro as a person of Black African ancestry. The Biblical Jews are neither black nor African.

The two-state proposal is not the two-state solution. For God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants some 4,000 years ago. The Chosen People rebelled against God and they were scattered all over the world. During the British colonial rule, the Holy Land was known as Palestine, illegal Arabs moved in to occupy the Holy Land without payment. The illegal Arabs were latter known as Palestinians. Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas have no claim to the Holy Land and no resettlement right in the Holy Land. They do not own one inch of the Jewish land, they now illegally occupied the Promised Land; Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas must at once leave the Jewish land for good. The leaders of the United Kingdom could tell them so. Palestinians could never establish a Palestinian state in the Holy Land. The United Nations or any agency has no authority to give the Jewish land to Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas. Jerusalem is forever the capital of the great King David. It is high time for Palestinians, Arabs and Hamas to get out of the Holy Land in peace; or they will be evicted by force. God will fight for Jerusalem, for God is the Protector of Israel. Palestine only existed in British colonial rule, so Palestinians are not free in Israel; they must be expelled from Jerusalem and the Jewish land, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. They are free to go to Arab nations. Palestinians and Hamas must withdraw from the Jewish land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants without delay. Any strategy to bargain away the Jewish land is wrong.

Japan has willfully done the great evil and harm, no longer persuasion; JAPANESE arrogance calls for retaliation and retribution.

August 24, 2023 was the day of infamy because Japanese government, in spite of strong internal and external oppositions, on purpose most outrageously, irreversibly, and irresponsibly dumped nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific to harm the world. The war crime nation never fulfills its unconditionally surrendered obligations or abides by International Law. Japan does the easy evil way because it costs them nothing. I salute Hong Kong and Macao and nations to boldly boycott imported food from Japan. All decent nations must rise up to sanction Japan.

A man who has been charged, indicted, arrested, mug shot taken, on high bail is a crook and criminal and not a Christian, forever unfit and unqualified to be a presidential candidate of any party.

India sat uncomfortably at BRICS Summit and sang a different song. India has conflict of interest because QUAD and AUKUS are clearly so incompatible with BRICKS. Just as a woman cannot have two husbands, so a nation cannot have two opposite goals. It is best India bows out now, and Indonesia grabs the historic opportunity.

China is right and smart to diversify its portfolio by adding more gold reserves. Even EURO is not good. However, the gold must be stored at home safer than Fort Knox.

According to https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/page1-econ/2.019/11/01/making-sense-of-the-national-debt

“Governments (and their economies) do not retire, and governments do not die (or don't intend to).”

I hold if America continues financing high deficits and debts, and foreign wars BY printing money, America is committing suicide intending or not. The day of reckoning is near.

QUAD (USA,Japan,Australia,India) and AUKUS (Australia, U.K. and U.S.) cohabit and conspire to target China. China does not have quarrel with India. China-India border conflict was a result of the British empire made the Indian map bigger by misappropriated and illegally incorporated large Chinese territories into the Indian map. The fraudulent British officials deliberately fail to tell the truth to the Indian government. Since QUAD & AUKUS are incompatible with BRICKS. India for ulterior motive has violated BRICKS, it should withdraw or be expelled. Indonesia is fit to replace India in BRICKS perfect.

American rising debt is not only a measure of Washington’s profligacy which has nothing to do with income distortion, it is completely due to the evil national policy of American imperialism and world domination -- I always hold this leads to American suicide. There is no confused thinking. China should never follow America in rising debt and deficits.

Does the West have the right to continue practicing hegemony and domination of the world? To threaten and sanction any nation as enemy or threat without reason? Why do Western leaders and politicians continue to abuse and oppress other nations? Unless the Western bloc comes to its senses, nuclear war is inevitable. It is urgent, long-overdue need for the West to repent and do things differently and do what is right.

If Russia is being attacked, why cannot Russia use the first strike? The world order established by the West is so unjust and unworkable. It is wise to accept the new reality.

Since Ukraine has admitted the terrorist acts of blasting substantial damages to Crimean Bridge, ICC must issue a warrant to arrest the nincompoop of Ukraine and execute him to stop the war. The UN must identify the terrorists who blew up Nord Stream pipelines and execute them without further delay.

The UN must condemn any nation that uses cluster ammunitions or bombs in Ukraine or anywhere.

BRICKS was established to weaken

American hegemony and circumvent the Western domination. India would be in conflict of interest to be used by America in QUAD. BRICKS would be a mistake in developing a new global currency. The strong and reliable Chinese yuan () can compete or even displace the US dollar. Each member state should strengthen its finance and economy. France and more than 100 nations should be welcome to join BRICKS at once.

Russia needs to declare a clear policy: Whenever and wherever Russia is being attacked by NATO, with absolute certainty Russia will respond with nuclear weapons.

Most Americans do not understand the consequences of US Debt Limit. American leaders and politicians of both parties have mismanaged the country with negligence and neglect. Even with the highest debt, they sent billions and billions of borrowed money and weapons to corrupt Ukraine to prolong the war. By spending spree they commit America to suicide. Reform will not save America, America needs Revolution as suggested by founding fathers. America needs to ditch phony democracy by a New Constitution that stipulates national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) of American citizens through a National Referendum, Americans have power to remove instantly any elected or appointed official without impeachment to change the government.

Not allegations but historical facts, Gang 7 which includes US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and pagan Japan have been responsible for all the evil deeds done in the world in terms of imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, monopoly and domination to the present. They have made the world profoundly worse, the root of all evils, often been wars of conquest, oppression, suppression, aggression and sanction; and under false pretenses of democracy, human rights, freedom and justice. Japan is a war crime nation that has not fulfilled its obligations, suffering immense inferiority complex, although an Asian nation but preferred to be White, and willing running dog of America. Except Japan, the six Western nations of G 7 claim to be Christians; but by their fruits they are children of the devil. The world would be better off without G 7.

“The current anti-China waves across Canadian politics and public opinion could be seen as a Canadian version of McCarthyism in the 21st century, fully highlighting the lack of strategic vision and continuity of the Ottawa’s China policy, some observers said.” It is high time for Chinese students and Chinese businesses to withdraw from Canada the avowed enemy.

The pathetically foolish Japanese and S. Korean running dogs of America join NATO to bring nuclear war to Asia. The enlightened France and Germany must promptly withdraw from EU and NATO to avoid the coming disaster.

Useless and violent Sudan holds the world as hostage because world leaders are stupid. What to do with Sudan? Nothing, absolutely nothing! Sudanese want to set fire and kill each other. Let them do it! Never negotiate; never give aid; never interfere! Those foreign nationals who have been evacuated, never return! Let Sudan alone and see how long it can last?!?!?!

Global insecurity is directly caused by warmongering US, UK, NATO, GANG-7, Canada, Japan, South Korea, India and Australia; and created by those backward and poor nations who have no abilities for self-sufficiency and productivity, but immense propensities for civil wars, self-destruction, military coups d'état and evil deeds beyond measure.

Jesus Christ is coming again!

The War in Ukraine could go Nuclear if US, EU and NATO escalate by keep sending so much money, ammunition, heavy and advanced weapons, tanks and jet fighters to the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet to prolong the War and Russia uses up all her conventional weapons. The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet has so much money (US$8.8 billion monthly) to spend, he is not interested in peace talk no matter how many Ukrainians die and millions flee to other countries. The war in Ukraine is testing the West’s stupidity. Why ICC does not issue a warrant to arrest the Ukrainian war criminal? Because the nincompoop is a Western puppet and under nuclear umbrella protection.

The Western mass media controls the world. It habitually spews out lies and falsehoods, the Western journalists are agents of the devil and Western powers who are not afraid to go to Hell. They accuse China the threat of the world without fact and evidence. Fact and evidence points to US, EU and NATO who are the greatest threat to the world. Western leaders and politicians pride themselves on their power to deceive and destroy and robbed WITHOUT SHAME!!!.

- JEFFREY SACHS

The only way to have WORLD PEACE is to abolish NATO, G-7 and EU; abandon American imperialism, capitalism, hegemony, warmongering and sanctions; and leave corrupt Ukraine desolate and unsupported economically, financially and militarily. The Ukraine war criminal eyes victory is an illusion and delusion; the reality is Ukraine destroyed and desolate.

The Philippines has taken the WRONG side of America, China must act accordingly. AID to such a useless nation would be a big WASTE!!!

Xinjiang is beyond the reach of Western powers because its people are happy and harmonious, fully employed and patriotic. America would do well in copying China to practice "cultural genocide" on homegrown Islamic terrorists, gun crooks and criminals, police brutality and useless welfare recipients into productive residents.

Putin orders ceasefire, but the nincompoop of Ukraine rejects it. The Western puppet wants money and weapons to continue the war. As long as US, UK, EU, NATO, FRANCE, G-7, GERMANY, ETC. give money and weapons to Ukraine, there will be no peace. The Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet only wants money and weapons, he does not care a bit about the unnecessary deaths of his people and devastation of his country. Western leaders and politicians are not very smart for knowing the war causes global inflation, high costs of living, energy crisis and hardship which benefits America only, and yet they follow America like sheep to be slaughtered. Putin may destroy Ukraine and leave Ukraine desolate.

Some Chinese overseas including Hong Kong in whatever capacity often serve foreign powers as stooges and stool pigeons in making irresponsible statements for their propaganda. For example, they make dire prediction that a million deaths by 2023 in China’s rural areas. American mass media deliberately overlooked the fact that more than a million Americans have ALREADY died in America IN SPITE OF the best medical facilities, drugs, vaccinations, supplies and specialists without mercy. Fireworks and parties do not scare away the virus. The West has bad word and foul mouth no matter what China does. When will Western leaders and politicians take a good look at the mirror? What has America prepared but attacking other countries? Since when America has prepared to test and treat its citizens of 100 millions who are infected?

I THANK YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

As usual, elections give the world a doped appearance of “American democracy” and American voters a false sense of security because “I VOTED.” Trump is a disgraced leader and a non-Christian. Both leaders are major causes of American decline. It makes the 1% rulers of America richer and more powerful. What America really needs is an election to vote to change the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With a majority (51%) American citizens through National Referendum can remove the bad and wrong leader instantly, and stops the wrong national policy of wasting trillions of dollars in all foreign military adventures and abandons support to Ukraine war immediately. The two American parties have betrayed America. America needs leaders and politicians who can solve inflation, high cost of living, high crime, injustice, gender inequality, racial discrimination, suicidal and uncompetitive America, dilapidated infrastructure, and invasion of illegal migrants at once. America needs a Jeffersonian revolution!

U.S. BORDERS

1. The US Constitution shall be revised to stipulate the American national sovereignty lies in the hands of American citizens. With majority (51%) American citizens have the power through the National Referendum to remove any official instantly on GROUND of no confidence and without impeachment and change any national policy or government immediately.

2. The US Constitution declares the illegal immigrants of any variety have no rights to and in America, all the illegal aliens already residing in America shall be deported without delay at once. They have been mislabeled as refugees.

3. The US Constitution declares children of illegal aliens born in America are not considered American citizens, therefore they must also be deported without appeal.

4. The US Constitution shall put the political asylum applications on hold for 100 years.

9. No American citizen or business or institution may hire or give aid to illegal aliens and illegal immigrants which constitutes a violation of federal law.

PUBLIC NOTICE

America can be GREAT again by doing the following:

1. Revise the Constitution to stipulate the national sovereignty is vested in the hands of American citizens with majority can determine the leadership and decide the direction and destiny of America.

2. Discard imperialism, capitalism, aggression, warmongering, intervention of other nations by dismissing NATO, QUAD, all military and political alliances.

3. Solve internal problems of economy, finance, infrastructure, corruption, gun violence, inflation and high cost of living, and unemployment.

4. Cease ban, boycott, embargo, high tariff, sanctions on trade against any nation.

5. Return Taiwan to China and end the Ukraine war at once.

6. Embrace Russia, China, and all nations in peace and together to build a better world.

Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons. Japan will be the second.

According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ

NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its cross-hairs set on both Russia and China.

Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.

*Wednesday was May 4, 2022. The DAY OF INFAMY.

Nixon looks greater and greater in history, while his successors look smaller and smaller, worse are those warmongers, incompetent, and cowardly in taking action against in justice.

You must be a hopeless supremacist to disagree with President Xi Jinping’ message:

I congratulate China for:

(2). Spectacular successes in infrastructure development, including Railway, High Speed Railway, International Railway, subway, -- the no. 1 in the world.

How to solve the unwanted, undesirable, violent illegal migrants problems: Do not let them enter. Do not give aid or help. They will return to where they come from.

1. Close all American overseas military bases all over the world and withdraw all American warships and warplanes, aircraft carriers, etc. and troops and dismiss them. We have no need to maintain such a big military at huge costs. America is no longer an empire, and returns to a Republic. Dismiss NATO, QUAD, and all military alliances. Return Taiwan to China.

2. Eliminate all nuclear and conventional weapons programs. All attacks on the US will be responded with nuclear weapons. America has more than enough nuclear weapons to defend itself.
3. Downsize the Defense Department by 3/4 (three fourths, that means for every 4 employees, dismiss 3), and State Department by 3/4 and all federal departments and agencies by 3/4.
4. Reduce all wages, benefits, and pensions of federal employees by 1/3 (one third means one dollar for every 3 dollars; for example, if the salary of an employee is $3,000 a month, it reduces to $2,000), including the president and all members of Congress, judges, etc.
5. All former living presidents will receive only basic salary without secret service protection, maintenance of libraries and offices, travel, mail, etc.

Those who oppose these five measures are advocating America to commit suicide; those who support these five measures will save the United States.

Although China’s military budget is much

less than of the USA’s, the U.S. has been encircling China with more and war machinery for years. Although absolutely no evidence that China poses any threat to US, EU, UK, NATO, AUSTRALIA and the world, but AUKUS (Australia, UK, US)

conspire and collude so that Australia purchases 5 nuclear attacked

submarines from US to target China. In their own words, “ focused primarily on deterring China.” When warmongers want to dominate the world, they need a lame excuse to cover them up. The US, UK

are trampling on Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

Australian hawks, enemies and nincompoops like the most egregious and malicious Paul Keating irrationally manufacture consent for war. The West has a concerted propaganda campaign

for war against China just as it is doing in Europe against Russia. The world must be alert that the West wants a nuclear war in the offing to destroy the whole world.

Genocide by definition is the deliberate killing of people. Since China does not kill any Uighur in Xinjiang, Western propagandists distort the word by charging China committing cultural genocide. What China did was brilliant ingenuity, by converting the Islamic killing terrorists and destroyers of society, through reformation and job training into useful and law abiding citizens. Xinjiang is beyond the reach of Western powers because its people are happy and harmonious, fully employed and patriotic. America would do well in copying China to practice cultural genocide on homegrown Islamic terrorists, gun crooks and criminals, police brutality and useless welfare recipients into productive residents.

If Western powers dig deeper in the Ukraine war, they will find nothing but death, destruction and doom and a bunch of stinking dog’s feces of political haughty hogwash. EU and NATO should be abolished and dissolved because they exist only to do evil. What the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet needs are not tanks, but the greatest TERROR the West can give to Ukraine is NOTHING: NO ARMS, NO MONEY, NO WEAPONS. Then the war will be over, and there will be peace in the world; as well as a footnote in history: Ukraine “a heap of ruins”vanishes from the world in the 21^st century.

As far as American way of life, it may just go to Hell. What buffoon wants to copy the American way of life? An empty and deluded democracy, phony justice, fake freedom, exploitation by capitalism, the 1% of population rules over the 99%, corrupt government, national values of power, money, and sex; and violent way of life.

It is no surprise the war in Ukraine has divided the West against the world. The large citizens of Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, etc. demonstrated to oppose the war and NATO. They wanted their governments to withdraw from EU and NATO. Fewer Than 1 in 6 Americans Want U.S. Soldiers in Any War. G-20 Bali Summit representing the world resolves and reaffirms to want cooperation and oppose conflict, peace and not war.

Today is November 16, 2022, whereas America is in crisis, as a Christian and an American citizen, I am obliged to tell the Truth. The two American parties have betrayed America, and they do not serve the national interest. American leaders and politicians have failed the American people either, so we have inflation, high cost of living, largest national debt and deficits, wrong foreign policy, high crime, injustice, racial discrimination, gender inequality, energy crisis, police brutality, invasion of illegal migrants, military conflict and foreign wars for so long, and useless elections. Now America needs a new direction with new, good, and able leaders. Trump had disgraced himself, unfit, and un-Christian. America cannot CONTINUOUSLY waste years to let bad leaders and politicians keep doing evil and waste money and effort. America needs a new election to change the Constitution to stipulate American sovereignty lies in the hands of its citizens in a true democracy. With a majority (51%) American citizens are empowered to remove any bad leader and politicians instantly without useless impeachment. American citizens have power to change any wrong national policy and direction immediately through a National Referendum. The new leader must be able to solve domestic problems and seek a just and lasting peace for the world.

US MIDTERM ELECTIONS

According to https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202211/08/WS63698df0a3105ca1f2274970.html

“The total US' spending on races during the 2022 midterm election cycle will exceed $16.7 billion, breaking the record of inflation-adjusted $13.7 billion spent in 2018, according to Bloomberg citing estimates from OpenSecrets, a nonprofit organization in the US.”

U.S. BORDERS

3. The US Constitution declares children of illegal aliens born in America are not considered American citizens, therefore they must also be deported without appeal.

4. The US Constitution shall put the political asylum applications on hold for 100 years.

9. No American citizen or business or institution may hire or give aid to illegal aliens and illegal immigrants which constitutes a violation of federal law.

“Most UFOs are 'Chinese surveillance' drones and 'airborne clutter,' Pentagon officials reveal” as reported by Brandon Specktor recently. This is a most double talk report. Over the years the reports of UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) had been extraordinary, not “identified as "relatively ordinary" Chinese surveillance drones”. If “China had previously stolen plans for advanced U.S. fighter planes,” how do you explain that UFOs or UAPs technologies deployed are far superior to the American technologies? If this is true, there are more reasons America should not engage war with China. If it is only another lie, then it is plausible to the premise and propaganda that China is the greatest threat to America. Either way, the American spreading of pieces of misinformation against China is “strange indeed.” Who is the liar that deliberately spews out dangerous lies around the world?

EU, GANG-7, AND NATO SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND DISSOLVED BECAUSE THEY EXIST ONLY TO DO EVIL TO UROPEANS AND PEOPLES OF THE WORLD. UKRAINE SHOULD BE DESTROYED AND NEVER TO BE REBUILT, TO SERVE AS A WARNING TO ANY PUPPET GOVERNMENT WHICH WANTS WAR and NOT PEACE.

Many nations which practice general elections have very serious problems at home. To solve all these problems, the solution is simple: Ditch all phony democracy, establish and stipulate citizen sovereignty in the Constitution with the practice of National Referendum. With majority votes of 51% citizens have the right to remove any office immediately and change the national policy on any issue instantly. The majority of citizens even have the power to dissolve a useless government.

It is a big lie and absurd to name China as a major national challenge because China does not attack or occupy any nation. America since the end of World War II has attacked and occupied many nations and killed millions of innocent peoples around the world. The US and its allies are the number one threat to the world. Actions speak louder than propaganda.

Western “democracy” is so afraid of national referendum, so they never use it because they are afraid the majority of their citizens would disapprove their wrong national policies. Now four regions of Ukraine in a national referendum voted to join Russia, they automatically call it “sham”. EU is so ridiculous, suffering high inflation and energy crisis, instead of obeying its citizens to ditch the proxy war, it wants to sanction Russia more. Ukrainians used referendums to vote in joining Russia is legal, while US and EU fighting proxy war in Ukraine is illegal.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Leaders and politicians of some 50 nations, in spite of CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC and high inflation, send their taxpayer money and heavy weapons to the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet, in order to prolong the war with Russia. Scandinavia hopes for security, instead joins death camp. NATO is the Western terrorism and war machine to target Russia in Europe; and expands to Asia to target China. The world has no peace because the West misleads the peoples by distortion and death and destruction.

America can be GREAT again by doing the following:

2. Discard imperialism, capitalism, aggression, warmongering, intervention of other nations by dismissing NATO, QUAD, all military and political alliances.

3. Solve internal problems of economy, finance, infrastructure, corruption, gun violence, inflation and high cost of living, and unemployment.

4.Cease ban, boycott, embargo, high tariff, sanctions on trade against any nation.

5. Return Taiwan to China and end the Ukraine war at once.

6. Embrace Russia, China, and all nations in peace and together to build a better world.

For the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet to sanction Putin is tantamount to a frog at the bottom of the well to challenge an Elephant.

The destructive costs of Ukraine war are beyond the counting of those who started it. It must be ended at once. The nincompoop of Ukraine president should be liquidated, Ukraine forever abandoned, NATO abolished, EU reorganized, US and UK and GANG-7 leaders repudiated. The free peoples of the world rise up once and for all to oppose unilateralism, aggression, and wars.

Western leaders and NATO, EU, UK, QUAD are responsible for global inflation, recession, food shortage, high price of gas and oil, death and destruction in Ukraine; ban and high tariffs and sanctions on Chinese goods and products, Russian gas and oil -- all the troubles and unrest in the world. Let Europeans and free peoples of the world arise to oppose dictatorship and domination, imperialism and capitalism.

History is at a turning point because Western leaders conceive an evil plot to prolong the Ukrainian war in order to wear out Russia militarily, economically, and financially. With more money, more heavy weapons, more trained soldiers the Ukraine nincompoop and puppet even demands Russia to surrender. Russia must not repeat the mistake of Soviet Union, and extricate herself from Ukraine at once. Russia needs to declare nuclear option in response to any attack on Russia. The international community must not be fooled to waste humanitarian aid and reconstruction when the recipient wanted war and destruction itself.

The lofty goal of QUAD is to destroy China in Asia as NATO in Europe to destroy Russia. ASEAN countries must be smart and not to be used by Western leaders to have war with China; America does not condemn Japan that never fulfilled its unconditional surrender agreement for genocide of 35 million Chinese, millions of forced labor, and thousands of sex slavery what Japan called “comfort women” who are dying out; and also for Japan to dump nuclear waste water into the Pacific. On the contrary they want a war crime nation to become permanent member of the UN Security Council. There is no HOPE for Scandinavian governments, because EU, UK, NATO, GANG-7, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, Japan are only extension and expansion of American empire. Western democracy does NOT allow self-determination or majority rule. Less than 15 individuals in the world will determine the fate of 8 billion peoples in the world. They do not want peace and security, they only want wars and conflicts to destroy Russia and China to dominate the world.

Europeans will be first to suffer the destruction and devastation of nuclear weapons. Japan will be the second.

More assets seizing and sanctions against Russia, more money and weapons sent by the US, UK, EU, NATO, GANG-7, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Japan to obedient and nincompoop Ukrainian president, the clearer their objectives of war, the more Ukrainian refugees, displaced persons and deaths; the more world-wide high inflation; the more it forces Russia in self-defense to deploy nuclear weapons; the sooner the end of the world and the coming of Jesus Christ.

Millions of Ukrainian refugees and internally displaced persons have no one to blame but their nincompoop president and themselves. Hungary is the nation which has courage and conscience to speak against EU and NATO.

Clearly by words and deeds, the US, EU, UK, NATO, G-7, FRANCE, GERMANY, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, UKRAINE, India, Japan want war not peace. Let the world get ready for nuclear war and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The more money and heavy weapons the West sends to Ukraine, Ukraine rejects peace talk. Puppet Ukraine demands Russia to surrender is like a rat asks the elephant to surrender. Under pressure nations that send weapons to Ukraine do not want peace. Everything that the U.S. does is intended to weaken and destroy Russia and China in order to maintain its world domination and dictatorship.

Ukraine is only a puppet regime. As long as US, UK, EU, NATO, and Japan exist, there will be no peace in the world, only more wars and military conflicts continue. They are enemies of world peace.

According to Ben Norton, https://t.co/PE3LAJpQVz pic.twitter.com/QUkjtpaPVQ

NATO has waged wars on Libya, Afghanistan, and the former Yugoslavia. Now the US-led military alliance has its cross-hairs set on both Russia and China.

Former top State Department officials have admitted that the “United States and its NATO allies are engaged in a proxy war with Russia” in Ukraine.

Under pressure nations that send weapons to Ukraine do not want peace. Everything that the U.S. does is intended to weaken and destroy Russia and China in order to maintain its world domination and dictatorship.

There is no PEACE because the Ukrainian president does NOT want peace; he only WANTS more arms, weapons, military hardware from US, UK, EU, NATO. Western media supports the war, make fake news and lies to perpetuate the war.

The American media has the most crooked and distorted mouth of the Deceiver. Shanghai residents did notquestion human cost of China’s COVID quarantines. What must be done must be done. The strangest thing is the fact American leaders, politicians, and media do not question American human cost of more than one million unnecessary deaths at the neglect and negligence and the blood on the hands of American leaders, politicians and media. The greatest irony and the most unprecedented paradox are taking place before our eyes. China for sure is not a Christian nation, in this point, is following the teaching of Jesus Christ: Chinese people are helping and loving each other in sincerity in crisis. The lock-down of a large Chinese city of 25-million Shanghai and its closed-off management encounter multiple and immense problems. 38-thousand medics from other parts of China volunteered and came to aid Shanghai. Thousands and thousands of volunteers help solved the logistic difficulties of obtaining food, medicine, etc. for quarantined residents who are not allowed to leave their homes. My wife engineered to have milk in bulk delivered and benefited also neighbors. A friend of ours who is a physician volunteered to obtain my medications. Volunteers do deliveries of food and essentials, collect garbage, etc. daily. Residents also undergo COVID-19 tests. This is the largest undertaking mankind has faced. At the same time, America, EU, NATO, UK who claim to be Christians and pagan Japan are launching an all-out war against Russia with all kinds of sanctions, and send arms and weapons and military hardware to Ukraine to prolong and perpetuate the war. Ukraine does not want peace, it is useless and wasteful to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The West does not want peace, they want to destroy any nation that does not bow to their dictates. Nincompoop EU and NATO leaders know what causes the war in the first place. Now if and when EU and NATO want to accept Ukraine as their members; the doom of the world is sealed. In this way they oppress and push Russia to a corner of no return, that certainly geometrically increases the chances of nuclear war that will surely destroy the whole world. There is not one glimpse of hope because the U.S., EU, NATO, UK, G-7 and Japan continuously do evil things by sending arms, weapons and military hardware to prolong war and spread fake news, false information, and disinformation about Russia and China. Jesus Christ is at the door.

The purpose of the United Nations is to maintain world peace with authority but without power. The nincompoop president of Ukraine deliberately created the cause of war. It is his stupid acts and ambition that cause and cost Ukrainian lives, economic crisis, refugees and troubles; a dumb agent of the West with abilities only to lie and make false accusations. America, EU, G-7, UK, NATO send large quantities and quality of arms and weapons and military hardware to Ukraine meant to prolong and perpetuate the war, the West does not want peace. Vanity of vanity, absurdity of absurdity, insanity of insanity; American, EU, NATO, UK, FRANCE, GERMANY, CANADIAN, AUSTRALIAN and Japanese leaders and politicians, do not realize what they are doing are not only EVIL, but absolutely Stupid, Senseless, and Simpleminded. They blindly send weapons overseas to fuel and perpetuate wars. Sanctions are suicides. Putin executed a master stroke in demanding unfriendly countries to pay gas in Russian rubles. From now on the world will recognize Ruble (₽) ,

CNY - Chinese Yuan (RMB)

Talibans have won political and military victory over the United States. Talibans have no money, resources, skills, and management to rebuild Afghanistan, but it resumes its religious practice of discriminating against girls and women. Why should China give hard-earned money, resources, etc. free to Afghanistan? Many countries like Afghanistan thought China received foreign aid in building a great nation today. They did not know China went through wars, famines, hardships, distresses, blood and sweats, poverty, with a great leader to achieve what it is today. Many useless and unworthy countries should be left alone, let them kick around 100 years and see what has happened.

According to https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/04/covid-deaths-top-1-million-in-us-nbc-news-tally-shows.html

“The United States on Wednesday surpassed 1 million Covid-19 deaths, according to data compiled by NBC News — a once unthinkable scale of loss even for the country with the world's highest recorded toll from the virus.

The number — equivalent to the population of San Jose, California, the 10th largest city in the U.S. — was reached at stunning speed: 27 months after the country confirmed its first case of the virus. ”

*Wednesday was May 4, 2022. The DAY OF INFAMY.

It is not a battle between democracy and tyranny. However, Russia must withdraw from Ukraine at once. The West must stop all sanctions, interventions, and provocations right away. The West is doing evil beyond measure. Only China has sent in humanitarian aid. The West has done nothing to stop COVID-19 which is devastating the whole world. The West is sending weapons to perpetuate Ukrainian war. In fact, America, EU, NATO, UK, and Japan are the greatest threats to the world.

It is a battle between world domination and liberation. Western media is expert in distortion and disinformation to play out the devil disguised as an angel. The world’s real problems boil down to one single factor which is the hegemonic, monopolistic, imperial sole superpower of America. America is employing all means including the immoral and fraudulent as well as using its led international order in military, politics, economy, finance (including banking and currency, SWIFT and Switzerland, freezing assets are tools of American imperialism), technology, diplomacy, transportation, mass media, and trade to dominate the world, while EU, NATO, UK, Canada, France are simply American agents and running dogs in Europe to pit against Russia, while Japan and Australia are American agents and running dogs in Asia to target China. As long as the American bloc of aggression and expansion and domination exists, the world will never have peace but conflict and war. Wars benefit the military-industrial-security-complex greatly financially. The president Ukraine is not only a nincompoop, but a persistent, out-and-out nincompoop going all the way. Evidently, the NATO, EU, UK exist only to serve American domination. Except God, noting will stop the U.S. government because American citizens do not have Constitutional right of sovereignty and can not exercise NATIONAL REFERENDUM. The United Nations must move out of America to be independent and effective. I see and I am afraid the Western block will incite and provoke the nuclear war to destroy the whole world; even though more than 82% of American citizens think America is going the WRONG way. The US HAS DONE SO MUCH EVIL IN THE WORLD IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES.

Ukraine crisis is caused and created by the nincompoop Ukrainian president who accepted arms, ammunition, weapons and troops from the West and deadly desired to join NATO and EU. The nincompoop Ukrainian president is the root cause of evil happening in Ukraine but he thinks he is good. The conflict is man-made disaster. Sanctions are counterproductive. Solution is demilitarization of Ukraine and Russia’s neighboring states, abandonment of joining NATO, cease and desist from aggression, intervention, sending troops, and sanctions by US, EU, NATO, UK, France. NATO exists for war, for peace NATO must vanish for good.

American and European (NATO) aggression, expansion, sanctions, intervention and provocation cause and create conflicts in Ukraine, Taiwan, Syria, etc. that may lead to real wars and a nuclear war that will destroy the whole world. UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL is therefore empowered to combat fake news and disinformation spread by any country, leader or media by public disclosure and censure. Let every nation mind its own business and build a good society of its own.

Nixon looks greater and greater in history, while his successors look smaller and smaller, worse are those warmongers, incompetent, and cowardly in taking action against in justice.

Olympics Sports competition is a good idea among nations. Western nations that boycott Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 are wrong and disgraced. Russia is gloriously no. 1 in single female figure skating and in pair figure skating which are superior to any military competition. Western media has great ability to distort and disparage the spectacular achievements of China. Above all, let all nations peacefully compete in building a Good Society of its own. The nation which builds a better society wins.

Some American leaders and politicians and mainstream media journalists suffer severe illness and psychosis that they project their schizophrenia, insecurity, inadequacy, paranoid, delirium, dementia, anxiety, mood, mutism, etc., onto Chinese and Russian leaders.

You must be a hopeless supremacist to disagree with President Xi Jinping’ message:

For US, UK, NATO to arm Ukraine is tantamount to declare war on Russia. For the Ukrainian president to receive arms is to put his country on the battlefield. Western and Ukrainian leaders are not wise but playing with fire and explosives. US and NATO also engaged in provocative military operations in Black Sea. US has abused and oppressed China since the Opium Wars. US uses UK, NATO, Australia, Canada to interfere in China’s internal matters. US continuously violates China’s sovereignty in Taiwan and South China Sea. US arms and uses Japan as a running and attack dog, the only war crime nation which unconditionally surrendered but never fulfilled its unconditional surrender agreements, in planned war pact with US to defend Taiwan and Diaoyu Islands. The consequences may be doom for the world.

My fellow Americans:

No American leaders and politicians are interested in revising the Constitution to vest sovereignty in the American citizens. Why? They want to have all the power and wealth for themselves. They reject the real democracy which is to vest powers in the citizens. The American imperialism and aggressive foreign policy and conduct of many unjust wars and wasteful spending in Defense, etc. never have the approval of American citizens. Too long American leaders and politicians deny with a fait accompli over the citizens to determine the fate and destiny of their nation.They are leading America to doom and destruction without approval of American citizens. It is strangest and most absurd oddity that the Congress continues to make laws involving other sovereignties and foreign territories. Congress does not seem to be interested in making laws for America in many urgent and pressing areas such as gun control, police brutality, healthcare terrorism, etc. Taiwan is a province of China, it is only right for China to take it back. Do American citizens approve the military to defend Taiwan? A national referendum will tell the truth. This is the truth: America is the greatest threat to the world. America is the most mismanaged nation on earth. American leaders and politicians create problems for America, make troubles for China, Russia and the world. Unless America changes, America and the world will perish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russia-led military has achieved great success in promptly putting down unrest and prevented civil war in Kazakhstan. This is another accomplishment of President Putin which the West would do well to copy.

It has been a long time, now something good has happened. According to Hong Kong (CNN) Five of the world's largest nuclear powers pledged on Monday to work together toward "a world without nuclear weapons" in a rare statement of unity amid rising East-West tensions.

"A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought," said the joint statement, which was issued simultaneously by the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France. "As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm that nuclear weapons -- for as long as they continue to exist -- should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression, and prevent war." The US and its allies must keep their word. The West has proven to say one thing and does another thing. Words need to be backed up by deeds. If America is serious, now disband NATO, close all overseas military bases, annul all military alliances, withdraw all troops and military apparatus, condemn Australia-Japan war pact, and cease interference and sanction of any nation. It is not wise for U.S. to arm Ukraine and threaten the security of Russia. History will prove who is sincere and true, but history is always after the fact.

Biden Rejects $450,000 Payments for Separated from family members at the border. Who asks those unwanted, undesirable, illegal, shameless migrants to come anyway? The U.S. government has failed and must not fail now to deport at once all 65 million illegal aliens who are already in America without further delay.

American and Europeans leaders and politicians have evil eyes and suffer severe envy and jealousy against China, so they manufacture many lies and falsehoods to accuse and tarnish China in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. American leaders and politicians are blind to American pressing problems of corruption, abuse of power, waste of national resources, injustice, racial discrimination, guns violence, inequality, unemployment and poverty, economic decay, and political decline. American leaders and politicians do not want to change because the current American situation and status benefits them greatly. The have great power and own most of the wealth. They are leading America to suicide, death, doom and destruction.

None are so hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free under American democracy. The truth has been kept from the depth of their minds by American leaders and politicians who rule them with lies. They feed them on falsehoods till wrong looks like right in their eyes. This is a great tragedy in the world. America and NATO and allies have never been for world peace, they seek world domination. They are the greatest threats and troublemakers from the beginning. The American economy, military and political structures are already in decay and decline for those who have eyes to see.

Being the sole superpower, the United States has no need to harm and hurt the interest of Russia and China. American long-drawn-out wrong foreign policy reflects badly only on the nature of America and its leaders and politicians.

British Empire was the most evil empire in history. Since the infamous Opium Wars, UK has wronged China too many times like America. UK, Canada and Australia have made themselves enemies of China, now follow the evil empire to boycott Beijing Winter Olympics to gang up on China. Chinese world-wide must rise up to defend the motherland: (1). Boycott study in Australia, Canada and UK, Chinese students already there must change country or return home. (2). Boycott Australian, Canada and UK goods and services. (3). Boycott to visit or travel to Australia, Canada and UK. (4). Boycott to do business with Australia, Canada and UK. (5). Support China to sever diplomatic ties with Australia for AUKUS is a military threat.

THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF THE GREATEST DECEPTION, DECEIT AND DISTORTION OF AMERICAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “There's a lot to worry about with China these days: its military build up, human rights abuses, intellectual espionage, squelching of Hong Kong, and threats to Taiwan.” --full of lies and no truth. The truth there is a lot to worry about with America because its leaders and politicians are purposefully leading America and the world to the high-speed of destruction. China is not a problem of military build up, the problem is America and its allies are practicing absolute military supremacy in the world. China’s human rights are superior to American human rights abuses in injustice, corruption, gun violence, racial discrimination, bankrupt economy, political polarization, phony democracy, and one percent of population rules over the 99 percent and owns most of the power and wealth. China has no intellectual espionage, America is practicing intellectual damage, technological miscarriage, camouflage,, baronetage and damage against China’s peaceful rise. China succeeded in squelching the treason of Western-paid Chinese traitors and foreign espionage to rob and take Hong Kong as another Taiwan. China should have liberated Taiwan from foreign colonization and occupation long ago.

I congratulate China for:

(2). Spectacular successes in infrastructure development, including Railway, High Speed Railway, International Railway, subway, -- the no. 1 in the world.

How to solve the unwanted, undesirable, violent illegal migrants problems: Do not let them enter. Do not give aid or help. They will return to where they come from.

Warmongers and supremacists insist “Biden Administration Needs to Face Reality: China Is an Enemy. The United States is finally, at least rhetorically, committed to competing in an age of great power competition. ..” If you listen to these militant aggressors, the United States will be doomed. It is not Reality, but Rumormongering. These evildoers are blind to history and current fact. Historically, America has wronged China too many times since the Opium Wars to the present. The wicked want to treat “China as enemy” because they want to continually dominate the world, and subdue the peoples of the world who do not want to follow American hegemony. China has no intention to compete with anyone, much less America. It is absurd to force China to be a competitor or rival. China is no enemy of any nation, and China does not attack or occupy any country. China wants America to get off its back. Let China alone. Let there be peace. White supremacists ask, Where Xis China Is Heading? Not because they have good will towards China. They act and speak without shame as if Taiwan belongs to America. These imperialists and militarists do not ask, Where America Is Heading? Because they lead America and the world to destruction. American foreign policy is the dismal failure and major security threat in the world today, but American leaders and politicians call its the central achievement. For U.S. imperialists and expansionists call themselves realists international-relations thinkers are like high dosage heroin is treated like nutritious vitamins. The so-called great-power rivalry is an exasperated excuse and malicious means to the goal of American continuous domination and dictatorship of the world.

For years things have gone wrong with the United States because the US government spends more than it takes in through revenues, a debt default is not a game of chicken with the global economy; and the U.S. is heading for cliff again and again over the need for Congress to lift the ceiling on how much the US government can borrow. The time has come to stop all borrowing: the measures are painful but needful. Radical problems require radical solutions. It is high time for America to drain the swamp. THE DARKEST SIDE OF AMERICA IS THE FALSE AND WRONG ASSUMPTION AND PRESUMPTION THAT AMERICA IS ON THE SIDE OF GOD, ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH, ON THE SIDE OF LIGHT. THE FACT IS AMERICA IS ON THE SIDE OF THE DEVIL, ITS LEADERS AND POLITICIANS ARE DOING THE DESTRUCTIVE WORK OF THE EVIL ONE WHILE MOST AMERICANS ARE BLIND AND DREAMING THEY ARE RIGHT AND SPIRITUAL.

Close all American overseas military bases all over the world and withdraw all American warships and warplanes, aircraft carriers, etc. and troops and dismiss them. We have no need to maintain such a big military at huge costs. America is no longer an empire, and returns to a Republic. Dismiss NATO, QUAD, and all military alliances. Return Taiwan to China.

Eliminate all nuclear and conventional weapons programs. All attacks on the US will be responded with nuclear weapons. America has more than enough nuclear weapons to defend itself.

Downsize the Defense Department by 3/4 (three fourths, that means for every 4 employees, dismiss 3), and State Department by 3/4 and all federal departments and agencies by 3/4.

Reduce all wages, benefits, and pensions of federal employees by 1/3 (one third means one dollar for every 3 dollars; for example, if the salary of an employee is $3,000 a month, it reduces to $2,000), including the president and all members of Congress, judges, etc.

All former living presidents will receive only basic salary without secret service protection, maintenance of libraries and offices, travel, mail, etc.

Those who oppose these five measures are advocating America to commit suicide; those who support these five measures will save the United States.

The enemies of truth are very afraid and hate this website. Thank God, over the years, in black and white, rain or shine, my website has reached more than 182 nations on earth with millions of peoples around the world absolutely free. The enemies of truth are those who distort facts, trample on the truth, harbor and display hatred, ill will and malice, call black white, tell lies on purpose without conscience, reason and shame, walk in darkness and practice unrighteousness. American violation of China’s sovereignty in Taiwan is called Beijing’s aggressiveness. The distortion practice of American leaders would pale Satanic schemes in comparison.

at once. Thanks in the name of the Lord.

Beijing does not and never poses threat to global order. US is employing all means possible to do harm to China. It is US, EU and NATO which pose the greatest threat to world peace and security by seeking absolute military superiority in order to dominate the world. Ukraine war is one of many examples which creates inflation, high cost of living, energy crisis which increase the population of the poor, hardship and unnecessary deaths. The Western mass media is spewing out trillion tons of black lies and falsehoods deliberately to fool the world.

US already has Nuclear Warheads, Over 3,750 which can destroy the world over and over. Pentagon is not interested in $21 trillion it cannot be accounted for. Pentagon is worried that China could have 1,500 nuclear warheads by 2035. The only reason Pentagon does not start a nuclear war is the assured response of Russia. To maintain world peace, it is wise for Russia and China to stand together. America ceases not to seek absolute military superiority. American strategists believe they would win a nuclear war. Sooner or later a nuclear war will break out, that spells the destruction of the whole world. Are you ready for the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ?

The Ukraine nincompoop and puppet rejects peace, he wants more money so that his regime can live lavishly on American Taxpayer money of $7 billion a month, and more heavy weapons and foreign troops to prolong the war, so that more thousands of Ukrainians may die, and millions more of refugees and displaced person and global inflation and high cost of living.

America can be GREAT again by doing the following:

2. Discard imperialism, capitalism, aggression, warmongering, intervention of other nations by dismissing NATO, QUAD, all military and political alliances.

3. Solve internal problems of economy, finance, infrastructure, corruption, gun violence, inflation and high cost of living, and unemployment.

4.Cease ban, boycott, embargo, high tariff, sanctions on trade against any nation.

5. Return Taiwan to China and end the Ukraine war at once.

6. Embrace Russia, China, and all nations in peace and together to build a better world.

For the Ukrainian nincompoop and puppet to sanction Putin is tantamount to a frog at the bottom of the well to challenge an Elephant.

----This article is written to let you know the Christian Faith is unlike the different faiths in the world. This is the Christian Manifesto that declares to the world, Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no other.

Faith is the first important thing of the three great things which remain, namely: Faith, Love, Hope. People speak loosely about “faith” and “the faith” because many do not understand and confuse between “faith” and “the faith”. Even among church members, they do not have a clear conception of faith and the faith. Keep in mind we speak of the faith, not the faiths. In this article we are not interested in other faiths. There are other faiths than the Christian faith, other religions than the Christian religion. However, we focus here on “faith” and the “Christian faith” only. They have different meanings although they are very closely related. The first term “faith” refers to one’s belief and attitude toward God and the Savior. The second term “the Faith” refers to the whole body of the Christian belief, the dogmas and doctrines as taught by Jesus Christ and through His apostles. Henceforth, “faith” in small letter means your or my “personal faith” in God or Christ WHOM we trust. The “Faith” in capital letter means the “common faith” of all believers of all generations believe WHAT to be in the body of the Christian belief as it is written in the Holy Bible and handed down from Jesus Christ and the holy Apostles.

Mar 11:22

"And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God."

Note: Faith in Greek is pistis which means assurance; belief; fidelity; conviction of the truth; conviction of God and divine things; trust; belief that Jesus is the Messiah; the Christian beliefs; faithfulness; persuasion; moral conviction of the truthfulness of God; reliance upon Christ for salvation; the system of the Gospel truth itself; belief and truth in God; - which occurs 243 times in the New Testament.

Faith is synonymous with belief, the act of believing. Faith is not a proposition. Faith is not a theological system. Faith is personal and individual act from the heart. To have faith in someone is to believe in someone. Faith is to have faith means to believe, to believe means to put your trust in someone. Faith is in “Whom” you believe. Have faith in God means to put your trust in God. The Faith is ‘What’ you believe. The Faith is common and collective. The “Faith” is the Christian Faith what all Christians of all ages believe as it is written in the Holy Bible, and nothing else. To prevent confusion, in this article your “personal faith” in Christ or God, “faith” is used in small letter. The whole body of what all Christians believe collectively, the body of truth believed is called the Faith, the “common faith” of what we all believe is the “Faith” in capital letter.

Faith in Christ is not superstition, although all other religious faiths are superstition. Christianity is not superstition. Faith is not religion, religion does not save anyone. Faith in Christ is a saving grace. If a rustic believes in Jesus Christ, he will be saved. If an intellectual believes in a false god, he will perish. So it is not faith that saves you, it is the faith in the Savior who saves you from eternal death. Jesus rose from the death by the power of God is not superstition. When you believe in something which is historically true, it is not superstition. If you believe in something which is not true, your faith is worthless. Faith in all religions is worthless and useless.

Act 25:19, “But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.”

Note: Superstition in Greek is deisidaimonia which means fear of the gods; false belief about gods; an irrational abject attitude of mind; irrational belief or practice; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. There are many superstitions in Chinese culture, one example is the welcome of the god of wealth during Chinese New Year; and the use of firecrackers to chase away evil spirits. Another is the upside down character of ‘blessing’ to bring blessing.

Faith is not tradition. Roman Catholic Church is full of un-scriptural traditions. Mat 15:3, “And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?” Pharisees and scribes of Judaism often violated the commandment of God for the sake of their tradition.

There is nothing parallel to Christianity. Christianity is the true religion that does not depend or require so-and-so to make declaration. Christianity does not need any country, government, institution, or individual to validate or recognize it. There is no such a thing called ‘Christian Protestantism’. Protestantism is simply an attempt to return to the original Christianity established by Jesus Christ and the Apostles. If there is such a thing called un-Christian Protestantism, it has nothing to do with the the great Reformation started by Martin Luther to expose the apostate Roman Catholic Church. There is no such a thing called ‘Reformed Christianity’, there is only one Biblical Christianity. There is no Christendom. There is no Christian nation on earth. There is no Christian nationalism.

When we talk about faith and the Faith in Christ, it has nothing to do with the universality of religion among all races at all times. It is the fancy and baloney talk of unbelieving theologians that God is continuously wrestling with man. It is blasphemous to suggest that God is wrestling with Himself. Among Christians the Bible is the only and sole authority. There is no church or human or papal infallibility. Christians reject any ideology, scientific or philosophic, pretending to be authority. It is not narrow or arbitrary, the Word of God is the only and final and supreme and ultimate authority.

Act 11:1, “Now the apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the Word of God.”

Note: Faith is not a venture of the soul, it is full acceptance of the Word of God. There is no such a thing called unconscious faith, faith is constantly conscious of humbly taking God at His Word and obey Him.

The character of faith is not propaedeutic, it is receiving the Word like the simplicity of a child. Jhn 1:40-41, “One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated means Christ).” Andrew heard John the Baptist speak about Jesus and followed Jesus. Andrew found first his own brother Peter and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.”

Faith is not speculative. When two blind men sitting by the road that Jesus was passing by; they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” And Jesus stopped and said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” Mat 20:33, “They said to Him, “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.” There is nothing speculative about what the two blind men want, they want their eyes to be opened.

Rom 14:22, “The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.”

Note: The faith which you have (personal faith) is your own conviction before God. If what you approve does not condemn you, happy are you.

Rom 4:16, “For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.”

Note: Faith is in accordance with grace, it has nothing to do with your efforts, works or merit. The promise of faith is guaranteed to all the descendants of Abraham and to all who believe.

Act 3:16, “And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.”

Note: Perter healed a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb on the basis of the lame’s faith in the name of Jesus Christ. This is an exact example of what faith is. The lame from his mother’s womb had faith in Jesus Christ and he was given the perfect health. The lame was healed on the basis of his faith in Jesus. Faith in Greek is pistis which means firm belief; fidelity; a conviction of the truth; trust in God or Christ; belief that Jesus is the Messiah; reliance upon Christ for salvation; - which occurs 234 times in the New Testament.

Sometimes in the Bible, even though it says the faith, it does not mean the body of Christian belief, in the context as your own conviction or trust in God. To prevent confusion, henceforth I use personal faith in God or Christ as faith in small letter, but referring the body of the Christian Faith in capital letter. For example, 2Co 13:5, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” Here it hits the nail in the head. Christians must not only believe in the dogmas and doctrines of Jesus Christ, you must test and examine yourself from time to time to see whether you have faith in Christ, whether Christ is in you. You can have all the theological knowledge of the Christian Faith, but Christ is not in your heart. That is the problem of unbelieving theologians who do not have Christ and the Holy Spirit.

1Ti 4:1, “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the Faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.”

Note: The Spirit explicitly says that in later times (which is now) some will fall away from the Faith. You see not a few theologians and false preachers have fallen away from the Faith, although they may call themselves modernists or evangelicals. Anyone who pays attention to deceitful spirits and doctrine of demons has fallen away from the Faith. An anti-christ is he who denies the divinity of Jesus Christ. He who rejects the infallibility and inspiration of the Holy Bible and the divinity of Jesus Christ has fallen away from the Faith.

1Ti 5:8, “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the Faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

Note: If anyone claims to be a Christian but does not provide for his own household, he has denied the Faith and is worse than an unbeliever. A person who has denied the Faith is worse than an unbeliever. This is a definitive statement, there is no doubt or confusion about it. So all men who desert their wives are worse than unbelievers. All fathers who abandon their children are worse than unbelievers. It is possible for a so-called believer to deny the Faith by his mouth. It is also possible for a so-called believer to deny the Faith by her disobedience to the Faith. Some Taiwanese politicians who claim to be Christians, and yet they publicly burn incense and worship idols. These Taiwanese so-called believers have denied the Faith. They are false brothers, not genuine Christians; and they are worse than unbelievers. Many American and European leaders and politicians claim and pretend to be Christians, and yet deny the Faith by lying, killing, and robbing many nations and peoples in the world. Imperialism is not compatible with Christianity. Capitalism is not compatible with Christianity. White supremacy is not compatible with Christianity. The West has practiced a false version of Christianity for a long, long time. Corrupt, fraudulent and greedy doctors, dentists and hospital owners who claim to be Christians, their predatory practices are not compatible with Christianity.

1Ti 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the Faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Note: This is most serious. Almost all know that the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil. The love of money can make you wander away from the Faith. Just as Jesus says, Mar 4:19, “but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful.” The deceitfulness of riches, the love of money and other things can choke the Word of God so that people hear the Gospel and become unfruitful.

2Ti 2:18, “men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the Faith of some.”

Note: There are unbelieving preachers and church members who go astray from the truth because they do not believe in the resurrection, and they upset the Faith of some. Christians should stick to the Faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.

2Ti 3:8, “Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the Faith.”

Note: Just as in the ancient time Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, nowadays the liars and impostors also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the Faith. In fact, all the works of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and scholars are intended to oppose the Christian Faith. God says they are men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the Faith. Depraved in Greek is kataphtheirō which means corrupt; to perish utterly; to spoil entirely; to destroy; to be perverted; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. A depraved mind is a corrupt and perverted mind. Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and scholars may think they have brilliant mind; but God says they are men of depraved mind, corrupt and perverted because they oppose the truth.

It is wrong to say that Martin Luther agreed with the Catholic outlook far more than he differed from it. This is a revisionist view of the great Reformation. The Roman Catholic Church had strayed so far away from the Biblical Faith, that it must be considered as another religion, another Faith, strange from Christianity. It is not what Luther accepted or not accepted that matters, it is the Faith that all believers from the beginning had accepted and believed that matters. It is what the Word of God says that matters. Protestantism is nothing but a total return to the original Christianity, and the written Word of God (the Holy Bible) as the sole and final and ultimate authority of the Faith.

1Co 13:13, “But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Note: There are three most important things abide in this world. They are faith, hope, and love. To unbelievers, they are money, power, and sex. To Christians they are faith, hope, and love. Faith is the first and foremost; without faith, there cannot be hope and love. Faith and hope are necessary on earth, in Heaven it will be love forever. Love is the greatest, for God is love.

1Ti 1:5, “But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”

Note: The goal of every true servant of Christ is that our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Sincere faith is honest, pure and true faith without ulterior motive.

I. FAITH

The common and important question: What is faith? To give you a head start: you must know first that faith is personal. Whether you believe in God or not is a personal matter. It is not transferable. You and your household can have faith in God, but each of you must believe in God personally. Faith is individually accomplished. Believing in God is personal just like eating a meal is personal. No one can eat for you. Just as you cannot eat for someone else, so you cannot believe for someone else. You can only believe for yourself. No one can believe on your behalf. Faith is a trusting and personal relationship with God or Christ. If you want to be saved, you must have faith in Christ and have a personal relationship with Christ for your salvation, you as a sinner, and Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Mar 11:22, “And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God.”

Note: This is the command of Jesus Christ to all, “Have faith in God.” Have in Greek is echō which means to hold; to have possession of; to own; to possess; to keep; to lay hold of; - which occurs 651 times in the New Testament. Faith is receptive to God's Word. Faith says yes to God. To have faith in God is to lay hold and trust in God. To have faith in God is to have possession of faith and reliance in God. To hold possession of faith is better than to have possession of the most expensive properties in the world in Hong Kong. There are many well organized terrorists trained, funded and supported by Western powers (2019) in the name of democracy and freedom and independence trying to possess Hong Kong because they want to possess the most expensive properties in the world and use Hong Kong as a money-making center and as a military base to destroy China. Have faith in God is not like to have faith in man, power, money, and nuclear weapons. Man, power, money, and nuclear umbrella will fail. God cannot and will not fail.

Heb 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

Note: Without faith it is impossible to please God. To have faith is to be obedient to the Faith.

Follow faith does not mean playing fast and loose with the requirements of rational thought, the canons of logic or the canons of reason. Follow faith is not being intellectually dishonest. The mind of the flesh is spiritually dead. Rom 8:7-8, “because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” For example, what rational thought can explain miracles and wonders, the supernatural, and the power of God? What cannons of logic can explain the creation of the universe by God in six days? It is not possible for faith to adjust itself to human reasoning. Jesus says explicitly, Luk 18:27, “Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Mar 10:27, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” God is almighty and the greatest mystery before time and space in the universe, for God is Spirit and cannot be explained by rational thought. To unbelievers, God is not plausible. Science and philosophy cannot know or understand Spirit, it is beyond their range and sphere of ability. Secular academics and unbelieving theologians try to diminish and disparage, vitiate and vilify God so that they can create god in their own image. Their god is not the God Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient of the Bible. These unbelieving scientists and scholars prize themselves as the ‘intellectuals’ of the world, and they demand the thoughts and ways of God to be acceptable to them. In fact, the secular academics and unbelieving theologians do not want God, they make themselves gods. By their writings you can judge secularists, unbelieving scientists and theologians and philosophers are very hostile toward God, and they do not subject themselves to the sovereign rule of God. They want to overthrow God in order to set up their kingdom. The unbelieving philosophers treacherously have the delusion to erect a temple of reason on sacred ground, and welcome the Man of Lawlessness to take his seat in this temple as the object of worship. They may call it a new religion, the One World Religion.

1Co 2:5, “so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.”

Note: There is nothing more clear than the Word of God. Faith is the act of believing, the Faith is the thing believed. Faith is personal, the Faith is common. Our faith in God does not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. For that reason, faith cannot rest on science or philosophy, the wisdom of men. Those who do not know the power of God would not believe. Science and philosophy the so-called reason rest on the wisdom of men, not on the power of God. Therefore, the wisdom of men is constantly in conflict with the power of God. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

2Th 2:13, “But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.”

Note: Believers are saved through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. Other faiths believe in lie or falsehood. Christianity is not superstition. Christianity is faith in the truth. Christians have faith in the truth, the truth of Christ. Faith in falsehood is useless.

(1). Meanings of faith in the Old Testament.

Hab 2:4, “Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.”

Note: For the proud one, his soul is not right within him. Have you ever met secularists who are humble? The righteous will live by his faith. Faith is personal, the righteous will live by his faith in God. Faith in Hebrew is 'emuwnah which means moral fidelity; firmness; stability; verity; truthfulness; faithfulness; - which occurs 48 times in the Old Testament. The righteous will live by his faith in God.

Exo 4:5,“that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Note: Believe in Hebrew is 'aman which means to trust; to have assurance; to stand fast; to confirm; to stand firm; to be certain; to sustain; to support; to lean on; to confide in; - which occurs 117 times in the Old Testament. To believe in the Lord is to trust the Lord, to lean on Him.

It is not the Jewish religion from which God has turned away His face. The Jewish religion was established by God through Moses. It was the rebellious and stubborn people that provoked the Lord to wrath. Deu 9:6-8, “Know, then, it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stubborn people. Remember, do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. Even at Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you.” Eze 18:30-32, “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct,” declares the Lord GOD. “Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord GOD. “Therefore, repent and live.” Even when the Messiah appeared on earth, the Jews wanted to kill Him. Jhn 5:18, “For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.” The Jews claimed to be Abraham’s children. Jhn 8:39, “They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham.” During the early Church, Act 14:2, “But the Jews who disbelieved stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against the brethren.”

Note: There was nothing wrong with the Jewish religion. What was wrong is the conduct of the sons of Israel, their transgressions, iniquity and evil deeds that provoked the Lord to wrath. The Lord wants the Jews to repent and live. For the Lord has no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies. The Jews did not know their own religion and wanted to kill Jesus Christ who is their Messiah. The Jews who disbelieved stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and embittered them against the Christians.

Psa 119:66, “Teach me good discernment and knowledge,
For I believe in Your commandments.”

Note: The word “believe” in this verse is the same original word in Exo 4:5. To believe in God is to believe in His commandments.

Isa 43:10, “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.”

Note: Believe in Hebrew in the verse cited above is the same believe in Psa 110:66. In things of the world including science, you know and believe. In things of God, you believe and know and understand. By human wisdom no one can know and understand God.

Psa 78:22, “Because they did not believe in God
And did not trust in His salvation.”

Note: Believe in Hebrew in this verse is the same in original word in Isa 43:10. Trust in Hebrew is batach which means to have confidence; to hope; to be sure; to confide; to persuade to trust; - which occurs 129 times in the Old Testament. To believe and to trust are synonymous. To believe in God is to trust in His salvation.

Isa 50:10, “Who is among you that fears the LORD,
That obeys the voice of His servant,
That walks in darkness and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.”

Note: Trust in the original word here in this verse is the same original word in Isa 43:10. Rely in Hebrew is sha`an which means to rest on; to lean on; to rely; to trust in; to trust in God; to repose confidence in; - which occurs 23 times in the Old Testament. He who trusts in the name of the Lord also relies on God.

Pro 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Note: If you trust in the Lord with all your heart, then you do not lean on your own understanding. That is the problem of secularists and unbelieving scientists and philosophers who lean on their own understanding so-called reason or cannons of logic. Acknowledge in Hebrew is yada` which means to know; to consider; to understand; to declare; to find out and discern; to recognize; to admit; to confess; to be aware; to comprehend; to regard; to have respect; to see about; - which occurs 1,008 times in the Old Testament. Acknowledge God means to give cognition and recognition to God. Acknowledge God in all our ways and God will make our paths straight. The paths of unbelievers are crooked.

Psa 7:1, “A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me.”

Note: David expressed his faith in God by saying, “O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge.” To take refuge in Hebrew is chacah which means to trust; to have hope; to make a refuge; to seek refuge; to flee for protection; to confide in; to put trust; - which occurs 74 times in the Old Testament. So to believe in God is to have taken refuge in God. And also to believe God will deliver you and save you from all those who pursue you. More important, to save you from your sins.

Psa 118:8-9, “It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in princes.”

Note: It is amusing that Korea and Japan complain that the American protection fees are too high for them, they ask for a discount. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man, than to to trust in princes, than to trust in the superpower, than to trust in nuclear umbrella. The Lord does not charge protection fees.

Psa 33:22, “Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.”

Note: To have hoped in God is to have faith in God, to trust God. There is no hope in this world, no matter who you are.

Psa 33:20, “Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.”

Note: To wait for the Lord is to have faith in Lord. Shield in Hebrew is magen which means buckler; protector; armed defense; - which occurs 63 times in the Old Testament. To wait for the Lord is to trust in the Lord. For God is our help and our shield. God is better than nuclear shield. There are foolish leaders of foolish nations who trust in nuclear shield. In a nuclear war they will perish with the their nuclear weapons and as well as their nuclear shield.

Deu 9:23, “When the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God; you neither believed Him nor listened to His voice.”

Note: Believe in Hebrew is 'aman which means to trust; to assure; to stand fast; to support; to confirm; to uphold; to be faithful; to make firm; to be certain; to turn to the right; to lean on; to confide in; - which occurs 117 times in the Old Testament. Listen in Hebrew is shama` which means to obey; to understand; to hearken; to give heed; to give ear; to attend to; - which occurs 1,169 times in the Old Testament. To believe God is to listen to His voice. To listen to the voice of God is to obey Him.

Gen 15:6, “Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.”

Note: Abraham believed in the Lord means Abraham put his trust completely to the Lord. Abraham did not count himself anything or worth anything before God. So God reckoned or counted his faith as righteousness. When you come to God, you must come as nobody. The problems of secularists are they think they are somebodies. Whoever comes to God must come to believe God is. God not only exists, God is the Self-Existent Eternal Almighty God, and God may reward a believer by grace. There is nothing between God and man, only a sincere faith can link man to God. On the basis of faith man begs God for mercy. That is the meaning, the righteous shall live by faith. The meaning of faith in the Old Testament is made on promise. The meaning of faith in the New Testament is based on the manifestation of truth in the person of Jesus Christ.

(2). Meanings of faith in the New Testament.

Heb 11:1, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

Note: Faith in Greek is pistis which means firm belief; assurance; fidelity; conviction of the truth; conviction that God exists; a conviction of divine things; belief that Jesus is the Messiah; trust; confidence; persuasion; credence; moral conviction; reliance upon; - which occurs 243 times in the New Testament. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for. Assurance in Greek is hypostasis which means confidence; substance; foundation; that which has actual existence; essence; firm trust; - which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. Hope in Greek is elpizō which means to trust; to expect; to wait for; to want something to happen; - which occurs 36 times in the New Testament. Conviction in Greek is elegchos which means evidence; proof; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Faith involves at least 3 elements: firm trust or firm belief, things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. If you have faith in God, such faith involves at least 3 things: you believe in the actual existence of God, you hope God provides you salvation and eternal life; all these things are not seen yet, they are to happen in the future. Faith in not about the past, not even today, it focuses on tomorrow. No one hopes what he has seen. Here focuses on “personal faith” in God or Christ. The New Testament does not redefine faith, the New Testament clarifies faith in Christ.

Faith is the assurance that because of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross for sinners, our sin is not to be held against us, that the divine wrath has been appeased through faith in the righteousness of Christ, and that with the grace of Omnipotence on our side, we are now and forever safe. Without faith, there cannot be assurance. Without faith, there is no hope. Our assurance and hope come from our faith in Jesus Christ.

Deu 28:66, “So your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.”

Job 24:22, “But He drags off the valiant by His power;
He rises, but no one has assurance of life.”

Note: Death is certain, no one has assurance of his life. Your life shall hang in doubt before you. Man is in dread night and day. No one has assurance of life. The uncertainty of life and lacking assurance drive people to have faith in God. This is how a religion is born.

It is stupid and torpid to say because the moral degradation of all people becomes the occasion of God’s saving activity. It is like saying God is obligated to do saving activity because of man’s sin, it is like saying sinful men are doing God’s a favor, and prompted God to show His mercy. This mind set of the flesh puts God in a passive position and sinful man in the driving seat. It is like the Prodigal Son made the converse statement, “Father, although I have sinned, I am worthy to be called your son, worthy to have double honor.” God does not owe sinful men anything. No man is worthy of God’s mercy. Act 13:25, “And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.” John the Baptist said he is not worthy to untie the sandals of Jesus’ feet. Sinners are not worthy even to kiss the feet of the Lord. Rom 9:15-16, “For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.” So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.”

It is wrong and incorrect to say Paul in his letter to the church in Rome variously described this salvation using the analogies of justification, redemption, reconciliation, and freedom. The limitation of language employs speaking in human terms. However, things divine are never analogies, they are more real than E=mc2. The process of salvation involves repentance, faith, regeneration, justification, redemption, reconciliation, sanctification, and glorification. There is a tendency for academics to use terms that may reflect favorably their mental acuity and spiritual superficiality, but cast a shadow of doubt on the Word of God.

Jde 1:20-21, “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy Faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.”

Note: Christians build ourselves up on our most holy faith. The Christian Faith is the most holy Faith because it is faith in the love of God, and waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

THE PROCESS OF SALVATION:

(1). Repentance

Act 20:21, “solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Note: Repentance in Greek is metanoia which means a change of mind; compunction for guilt; reversal of one’s decision; shame for sin; - which occurs 22 times in the New Testament. Repentance is made toward God, turning from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God.

Luk 5:32, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Note: Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers are self-righteous, and so they would not repent. Jesus Christ has come to call sinners to repentance.

Act 26:20, “but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.”

Note: Repentance is not a slogan or talk. When a man repents and turns to God, he automatically performs deeds appropriate to repentance. Study the history of Zaccheus, Luk 19:1-10.

2Co 7:10, “For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.”

Note: A man who truly repents of his sins will produce a sorrow leading to salvation. Without repentance there is no leading to salvation.

2Ti 2:25, “with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth.”

Note: Repentance leads to the knowledge of the truth. Those who do not want to repent will not have the knowledge of the truth. This is exactly the problem of secularists and unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers. That is why they do not have the knowledge of the truth.

2Pe 3:9, “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”

Note: The Lord is patient, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. God is waiting for you to repent.

(2). Faith

Act 20:21, “solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Note: Faith in Greek is pistis which means belief; assurance; fidelity; conviction of the truth; conviction that God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe; conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah; moral conviction; reliance on Christ for salvation; trust; - which occurs 243 times in the New Testament. Faith in itself does not save. Faith cannot save anyone. Faith in science cannot save you. Faith in philosophy cannot save you. Faith in religion cannot save you. Faith in anything cannot save you. Religion cannot save you. The most ludicrous are the Western nations who have faith in nuclear umbrella. They may realize their mistake in ashes too late. Faith in any man cannot save you. Repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only One who can save you.

Rom 1:5, “through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake.”

Note: Faith obeys God, it is called obedience of faith. Faith is impossible without action. Faith without action is dead. Obedience in Greek is hypakoē which means compliance; submission; observing the requirements of faith; attentive hearkening; conformity; - which occurs 15 times in the New Testament. Faith is perfected in obedience. Any true believer automatically obeys the Lord, obeys the truth, obeys the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. Faith without obedience is rebellion. Believe and be saved.

Gal 5:22, “And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

Note: It is important to know that faith is a fruit of the Spirit. He who is full of faith is full of the Spirit. Remember, Stephen was a man full of faith and full of the Holy Spirit. (Act 6:5)

Mar 1:15, “and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.”

Note: Repent alone cannot save you, repent and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ you will be saved.

Jhn 3:18, “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Note: The good news is so simple that if you believe in the Son of God, you will not be judged. If you do not believe you have been judged already because you have not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Rom 10:9, “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Note: If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Those who have head knowledge of the Gospel are not saved. To be saved you need to believe the Lord Jesus in your heart.

(3). Regeneration

Tit 3:5, “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.”

Note: Regeneration in Greek is paliggenesia which means new birth; production of a new life; born again; spiritual renovation; internal change; - which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. By birth human nature is corrupt and depraved, by regeneration the Holy Spirit gives the believer a divine nature; or rather to participate in the divine nature. As Jesus says, Jhn 3:6, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. A born again Christian has the Spirit of Christ dwelling in him. Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers do not have the Holy Spirit, so they will never have the knowledge of God. Once you have a new birth instantaneously you have a new life. Birth is once and instantaneous, life is continuous. New life in Christ is eternal life.

1Pe 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

Note: It is the Lord Jesus Christ who has caused believers to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Regeneration means to be born again, to have a new life in Christ.

2Co 3:6, “Who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”

Note: The Spirit of the Lord gives life. Science cannot give life. Philosophy cannot give life. Religion cannot give life. If you have the Spirit of Christ, then you belong to Christ.

(4). Justification

Rom 4:25, “He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.”

Note: Justification in Greek is dikaiōsis which means acquittal; the act of God declaring men free from guilt and acceptable to Him (Strong’s Concordance); adjudging to be righteous; counted as righteous; - which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead to justify us before God. The righteousness of Christ is imputed or credited to believers as the righteousness of God.

Rom 5:16, “The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.”

Note: Justification is the free gift of God arose from transgressions to all who believe in Jesus Christ.

Rom 5:18, “So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.”

Note: The act of righteousness done by Jesus Christ has resulted justification of life to all men and women who believe in Jesus Christ.

(5). Redemption

Rom 3:24, “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.”

Note: Redemption in Greek is apolytrōsis which means deliverance; a releasing effected by payment of ransom; ransom in full; riddance; - which occurs 10 times in the New Testament. Where can you find redemption? The redemption is in Christ Jesus. Without Jesus Christ there is no redemption.

1Co 1:30, “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.”

Note: Jesus Christ became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.

Col 1:14, “in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Note: What is redemption? Redemption is the forgiveness of sins in Christ Jesus.

Eph 1:7, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.”

Note: How redemption is accomplished? We have redemption in Christ Jesus through His blood. To obtain redemption, the forgiveness of sins, Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross, the Just for the unjust. Jesus paid for our redemption with His precious blood.

Heb 9:15, “For this reason He is the Mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.”

Note: What kind of redemption that Jesus accomplished? It is the redemption of the transgressions. Once the redemption of our transgressions is done, we have passed out of death into life and our soul is saved and may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Heb 9:12, “and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.”

Note: How good is the redemption of Jesus Christ? It is eternal redemption, good for eternity. Once a believer is redeemed, she is redeemed for eternity.

Rom 8:23, “And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.”

Note: The redemption of our soul is done now while we are on earth. The redemption of our body will take place when Jesus Christ returns to judge the living and the dead and reign with the saints. Our natural body will be transformed into spiritual, glorious and immortal body. 1Co 15:42-44, “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.” The Christian body in the future is spiritual, glorious and eternal or immortal.

(6). Reconciliation

Rom 5:11, “And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

Note: Why do we need reconciliation? Sinners are enemies of God. Reconciliation in Greek is katallagē which means atonement; restoration of the favor of God to sinners that repent and put their trust in the expiatory death of Christ (Strong’s Concordance); exchange; - which occurs 4 times in the New Testament. Through our Lord Jesus Christ who died for sinners we have now received the reconciliation. We have made peace with God by the blood of Jesus.

2Co 5:18-19, “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.”

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Word of reconciliation. God reconciled us believers to Himself through Christ. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting our trespasses against us.

(7). Sanctification

Rom 6:22, “But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.”

Note: Sanctification in Greek is hagiasmos which means holiness; purification; consecration; - which occurs 11 times in the New Testament. The suffering and death of Jesus Christ resulted in sanctification of believers. Believers have been freed from sin and enslaved to God. The outcome of sanctification is eternal life.

Rom 6:19, “I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.”

Note: Sanctification has two meanings: positional and conditional. Believers freed from sin is sanctified by the Holy Spirit in Christ which is positional sanctification once and for all. Conditional sanctification is the will of God that we abstain from sexual immorality, and live daily a life or purity in faith and in the truth. Our position in Christ in perfect, our condition in the world is not. We need to be sanctified daily and progressively.

1Th 4:3, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality.”

Note: Sanctification is the will of God. Christians abstain from sexual immorality. Homosexuality and same-sex marriage is sexual immorality. Fornication and adultery are also sexual immorality.

1Th 4:7, “For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification.”

Note: Impurity is the opposite of sanctification.

Heb 12:14, “Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.”

Note: Christians pursue peace and purity in hope of the second coming of Jesus Christ, for without sanctification no one will see the Lord.

(8). Glorification

1Co 2:7, “But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.”

Note: Glorification in Greek is doxa which means honor; praise; dignity; glory; splendor; brightness; magnificence; excellence; preeminence; dignity; grace; majesty; a most glorious and exalted state; the glorious condition of blessedness; exaltation; - which occurs 168 times in the New Testament.

The last stage of salvation is culminated in the glorification of believers when Jesus Christ returns to share glory with saints, and reign with saints in the Kingdom of Heaven, forever and ever.

Rom 8:18, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

Note: Christians do not have glory in this world. The children of the ruler of this world have all the power, wealth, and glory. The sufferings which Christians share with Christ of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. The glory to be revealed at the second coming of Jesus Christ in great power and glory.

Rev 14:7, “and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the Heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”

Note: An angel said with a loud voice, “Fear God, and give Him glory.” The hour is coming when the judgment of God has come. All the world must worship God who made the Heaven and the earth.

The Word of God (the Old Testament and the New Testament) is not defined or influenced by the uniqueness of historical and cultural setting. The continuity of the Old Testament and the New Testament is summed up in the person of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament is the shadow of things to come, the New Testament is the substance that grace and truth have come. The Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament just as the Messiah has fulfilled the Messianic prophecies. The unity of the Holy Scriptures is the central revelation of Jesus Christ. The central message of the revelation is that Jesus Christ, the time is fulfilled in the Son of God, who is the Way to God.

Col 2:2, “that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself.”

Note: A true knowledge of God’s mystery comes from the personal knowledge of Jesus Christ. All the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding springs from the Spirit of Christ so that our hearts may be encouraged and having been knit together in love. Unbelievers do not have a true knowledge of God’s mystery.

Heb 3:14, “For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end.”

Note: Born again believers have become partakers of Christ, by faith we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, until the Lord comes.

Heb 6:11, “And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end.”

Note: Partakers of Christ need to apply all diligence, not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord so as to realize the full assurance of the blessed hope until the Lord returns.

Heb 10:22, “let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Note: Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience, cleansing our hearts by faith, and leading to the obedience of faith. Faith without obedience is like a tree without fruit.

(3). The New Testament describes the nature of personal (individual) faith, various sizes of faith, and various degree and quality.

(A). Little faith.

Mat 6:30, “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!”

Note: Little faith in Greek is oligopistos which means trusting too little; lacking confidence; - which occurs 13 times in the New Testament. Little faith is bad.

(B). Great faith.

Mat 8:10, “Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel.”

Note: Great in Greek is tosoutos which means so much; as large; so vast as this; - which occurs 40 times in the New Testament. Great faith is good.

Mat 15:28, “Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed at once.”

Note: Great here in Greek is megas which means huge; loud; great mass and weight; abundant; mighty; strong; powerful; eminent; excellent; splendid; grand; preeminent; stately; distinguished; something higher, more exalted, more majestic; notable; - which occurs 256 times in the New Testament. In the sight of Christ, megas faith is greater than tosoutos faith.

(C). Size of a mustard seed.

Mat 17:20, “And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”

Note: Mustard in Greek is sinapi which means “the name of a plant which in oriental countries grows from a very small seed and attains to the height of a tree, 10 feet (3 m) and more; hence a very small quantity of a thing is likened to a mustard seed, and also a thing which grows to a remarkable size” (Strong’s Concordance); - which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. Apparently and sadly, almost all believers (including me) do not even have faith the size of a mustard seed.

(D). Faith can be seen.

Mar 2:5, “And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Note: Jesus Christ can see the faith of the four men who carried the paralytic, they removed the roof above Christ, and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. I do not have the gift of seeing the faith of others. I do not know anyone who has the gift to see the faith of others. Jesus Christ sees your faith.

(E). No faith.

Mar 4:40, “And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

Note: It is clear those who still have no faith will be afraid. No faith can never be introduced into grace. No faith is unbelief. Unbelief is evil.

(F). Great confidence in the Faith.

1Ti 3:13, “For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the Faith that is in Christ Jesus.”

Note: Faith varies in quality and quantity. Those who have served well in Christ obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the Faith that is in Christ Jesus. For example, 2Ti 4:8, “in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” Apostle Paul has great confidence that in the future there is laid up for him the crown of righteousness. Not all believers have such great confidence. I never consider myself having a high standing in the Kingdom of God. I am most thankful just being a member of God’s household, a lowly servant. Jas 1:12, “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” I met a man of God in China just one year before his death, Wang Ming Tao, who suffered in prison for many years. I believe he will also receive the crown of life.

(4). Blessings of true faith in Christ.

Col 2:2, “that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself.”

Note: A personal faith in Christ attains the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself.

Heb 3:14, “For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end.”

Note: True faith in Christ makes one a partaker of Christ. Believers must hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the coming again of Jesus Christ.

Heb 6:11, “And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end.”

Note: Believers must show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end. True faith does not give up in the middle. True faith does not go half way, but to the end.

Heb 10:22, “let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Note: You can have full assurance of faith only with a sincere heart. With a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, children of God may draw near to God, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and out bodies washed with pure water.

Phl 1:25, “Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.”

Note: It is normal for a Christian to have progress and joy in the faith, in the Christian life by faith.

II. FAITH IS PERSONAL

Faith is personal or individual means each man has to have faith in God personally like the same you eat food or drink personally. Faith is the act of believing. Just as no one can eat food or drink for you, so no one can believe on your behalf. Your parents cannot believe on your behalf. You spouse can not have faith on your behalf. Your sibling cannot believe on your behalf. No one can believe for you, you have to believe yourself and for yourself. The Bible is full of heroes of faith, here we selectively pick some giants of faith in the Hall of Fame of Faith described in Hebrews Chapter 11.

Mat 9:22, “But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.”

Note: There is no doubt what God can do. But the power of God applies only to those who believe. Only by faith can a believer appropriates the power of God. Jesus heals the woman because she has faith in Him. So Jesus said to her, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” Faith is personal or individual and the outcome of faith is also personal.

Mat 21:21, “And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.”

Note: To have faith is not to doubt. When you doubt, you do not have faith. Faith and doubt cannot and do not coexist.

Mat 14:25-32, “And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped.”

A real story cited above can be used to illustrate what faith is. Jesus was walking on the sea. Peter asked the Lord to grant him walking on the sea to Him. Peter was afraid seeing the wind and wave, as he began sinking he cried out, “Lord, save me!” The Lord stretched out His hand to Peter. Faith is a spiritual act, and indeed the most important of all such acts, for our fate depends on it. Faith is personal, like the sinking Peter letting Jesus stretched out Hand to take hold of him. (Mat 14:31) 1Ti 6:19, “storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.” Faith is taking hold of that which is life indeed.

Mar 4:40, “And He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

Note: If you are afraid, you do not have faith. If you have faith, you are not afraid.

Jhn 9:38, “And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him.

Note: The correct attitude is like the man blind from birth who says, “Lord, I believe.” Lord, I believe and I worship Jesus Christ.

You maybe a pure Barthian and not a Christian. By the same token you can be a Calvinist or a Lutheran and not a Christian. A Christian does not need to be a Barthian or Lutheran or Calvinist or anything else. Once I met a young student nurse at a Lutheran hospital, she said she was a Lutheran, but not a Christian. If Luther were alive, hearing this statement would certainly infuriate him. A Christian is not anything else but a believer, disciple, and follower of Jesus Christ. It is not of pagan origin. Act 11:26, “and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” It is strange and the noun ‘Christian’ is misused particularly by the white race. Those who are born in Europe or America automatically think or consider themselves Christians. There are quite a few Chinese in Shanghai who wear the cross necklace as a fashion but they are not Christians.

Luk 22:32, “but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

Note: The Lord prayed for Peter that his faith may not fail. Although Peter denied the Lord three times, he turned again and served the Lord to his death. Judas the betrayer is different, for Judas from the beginning did not believe. God help us so that our faith may not fail.

1Th 1:3, “constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father.”

Note: Bear in mind, whatever Christians work is the work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father.

Heroes of faith are examples of faith; examples of faith are those who are worthy of our imitation and admiration listed as follows:

(1). Abel

Gen 4:1-17, “Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD.” Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?“ If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him. Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground. Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth.” Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is too great to bear! Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” So the LORD said to him, “Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him. Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.”

Note: Cain in Hebrew is Qayin which means possession; - which occurs 19 times in the Old Testament. Abel in Hebrew is Hebel which means breath; something vain and empty; exhalation; vapor; mist; darkness; shortness of life; - which occurs 8 times in the Old Testament. Abel is the second son of Adam and Eve. Why did Adam and Eve give Abel a good man with a bad name? Some grandparents or parents who give a bad nickname to their descendant may have a negative impact on her life. Just see how wrong were Adam and Eve. They thought they got a possession in Cain which turned out to be a murderer, the first fratricide in the history of mankind. They called Abel the first righteous man breath, short life like a vapor. A good man may have a bad name, a bad man may have a good name. You cannot know a man just by his name. But from the beginning, God separates two groups of people: The unrighteous like Cain on the left, the righteous like Abel on the right.

The Scriptures cited above provide the background history of Abel and his brother Cain. Cain is the archetype of the wicked. Cain is the first (human) murderer, the first fratricide, the first (human) liar, the first hypocrite or pretender, the first angry man, the first vagrant and wanderer on the earth. The way of Cain is the way of murder and lie. Western colonialists, imperialists, militarists, capitalists, warmongers, terrorists, Western media and Islamic terrorists are the descendants of Cain. Cain was the first murderer who complained death penalty was too great to bear. Cain never repented of his sin, never expressed regret or remorse for killing his own brother. Cain was a professional liar who denied what he had done and pretended ignorance. Cain covered himself with hypocrisy and jealousy. Cain did nothing to seek the righteousness of God. Western leaders and Western media are descendants of Cain, they lie, lie, and lie; kill, kill, and kill; rob, rob, and rob even to these days. Abel was the first victim of murder, the first righteous man who suffers. It is false to say when Cain suddenly struck Abel down, dying Abel took all the blame on himself. Unbelieving secularists have the habit of adding to the Word of God and also subtracting. From the beginning, the history of mankind is the history of the righteous suffering under the hands of the wicked to this day.

Heb 11:4, “By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.”

Note: What does it mean that “By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain”? Although the Bible does not explain its meaning. In all probability, Abel by faith offered to God a better sacrifice because a lamb was slain signifying shedding of blood to atone for his sin, and Abel had a better attitude and manner toward God. While Cain offered the fruit of the ground which had been cursed, and probably Cain had an arrogant attitude displaying his work, not by faith. Why did Cain kill Abel? I believe it is more than just jealousy. Cain is evil, evil is a mystery. 1Sa 24:13, “As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.” The heart of Cain inclined toward wickedness, with the leaven of malice and wickedness Cain killed his brother, and apparently took pleasure in wickedness. Cain asked God for more lenient punishment, but he did not express his regret and remorse, and much less repentance. Wickedness is as mysterious as the devil. In comparison, Abel was the first man to worship God in a way that pleased God by faith. Sadly, Abel was also the first man to be murdered, the first victim of fratricide. This depicts the depravity of humanity. Even today Western leaders and warmongers still lie, kill, and rob other human beings for the last 500 years. Though Abel is dead, he still speaks means the righteousness of the righteous will live on and speak. The wickedness of the wicked will stink for a thousand years and rot in Hell.

Clearly the occupation of Cain as a a tiller of the ground (farmer) has nothing to do with his wickedness. The view of the superiority of the pastoral over the agricultural occupation is unfounded. In fact, when I was a child the best human being I had ever met was a farmer who was a total stranger. We happened to wander to his farm house, and he treated us with boiling fresh peanuts which I have never tasted more delicious ever since. However, some occupations do influence and incline to do evil such as executives of Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex, and Islamic terrorists. You will not find a righteous prostitute except Rahab. Heb 11:31, “By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.” By experience I have found additionally those who are in finance, treasury, banking, medicine, hospital, drug, insurance, funds management, stocks and bonds, government, charity, foundation; etc. are more greedy than ordinary people. Any honest job is more honorable than the richest and most powerful crooks in the world. When I was working in hospital, janitors were friendly to me because I told them their jobs are so important. You know how terrible it could be if the floor is slippery and patients fall and injure themselves. The following Scripture gives a summary comment on Cain. 1Jo 3:12, “not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.” The Scripture says Cain was of the evil one, it means Cain was of the devil. Cain’s deeds were evil. It looks like the conflict of good and evil will continue until the end of the world. Are you on the wrong side, on the side with the devil? The most shocking happening in the last days is American and Western leaders and Western media that call good evil, and evil good, killing and destroying and robbing under false pretenses, constantly and continuously making fake news, fake reports, and spread lies and wrong views in the world without shame. They have gone the way of Cain. I reject the idea that Cain is a type of the Jew. Just as Abel is the type of the righteous, Cain is the type of the wicked. Cain and Abel were not twins.

Heb 12:24, “and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.”

Note: Jesus the Son of God, the Savior of the world, the Mediator of a new covenant, whose blood speaks better than the blood of Abel. The blood of Abel was innocent, but the blood of Jesus is precious. The precious blood of Christ not only can cleanse the sins of believers, also make propitiation for the sins of the people, bring us near to God, release us from our sins, and cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Abel was was a keeper of flocks or a shepherd. It is wrong to believe being a shepherd would automatically make a man righteous. Although a shepherd reflects nicely Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, the Great Shepherd and the Chief Shepherd. Even a king is viewed as a shepherd of a nation. Significantly, Jesus calls Abel the righteous. Mat 23:35, “so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.” The blood of Abel was shed by his own brother. What a sad tragedy. The amazing thing about the blood of Abel is the fact the voice of Abel’s blood was crying to God from the ground. Millions of innocent blood around the world killed by American presidents and congressional leaders since the end of World War II to the present must be crying out aloud to God. Thirty five millions of the innocent blood of Chinese killed by Japanese militarists in 14 years of the war of Japanese aggression must be crying out aloud from the ground to God. How many thousands of the innocent blood killed by Islamic terrorists to this day must be crying out aloud to God. Abel was the first martyr. Second most amazing thing is the fact, through faith, though Abel is dead, he still speaks. The Bible does not explain what Abel still speaks about. I believe Abel speaks by his act of faith. If you want to please God, you must offer to God a better sacrifice by faith. Your attitude toward God is important. God will judge the wicked. Vengeance belongs to God. No one can escape the wrath of God.

Academics are guilty of pride in pretending what they really do not know. It is pseudo scholarship to say that Abel was killed about the year of the world, 130. It was the folly of another scholar who counted the world was created 6,000 years ago. A little knowledge spoils and soils the truth.

(2). Enoch

The Bible speaks very little about Enoch. However, the following is a list of facts about Enoch:

(A). Oldest son of Cain (Gen 4:17, “Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.”

(B). A city built in his name by Cain (Gen 4:17)

(C). Father of Methuselah (Gen 5:21, “ Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.”

(D). Walked with God 300 years (Gen 5:22, “Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.”

(E). Lived 365 years (Gen 5:23, “So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.”

(F). God took Enoch (Gen 5:24, “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Heb 11:5, “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.”

(G). Pleasing to God (Heb 11:5, “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.”

(H). Prophesied second coming of Christ (Jde 1:14-15, “It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Note: Enoch is known as the man who walked with God. What does it mean to walk with God? Could it be a literal walk? If it is a literal walk, how could it be done, how can Enoch walk in steps with God? How can Enoch walk with God 300 years, what did he do for a living, did he not have to eat, drink and sleep? I believe it was not literally walking with God. I believe it means Enoch had perfect fellowship with God and obedience to God, the daily actions of Enoch were upright, conducting himself in a manner worthy of God, conducting himself with wisdom, conducting himself honorably in all things, conducting himself in the fear of God, to be in holy conduct and godliness, pleasing God by doing His will. How interesting and fascinating that Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death. Enoch was not a legend of any kind, he was a Biblical history. I dislike some academics who habitually exaggerate human tradition and making parallel with other nations and civilizations. The so-called Book of Enoch is not a part of the Holy Bible, and there is no need to quote it or use it as a reference. It is fatally wrong to assert that certain legends, civilizations, customs, traditions, histories, ideologies, myths, mythologies, religions, etc. have exerted influence on the doctrines of the Bible. The Holy Bible is the Word of God, not influenced by anything or anyone any place any time. Any scholar who holds the Holy Bible (The Old Testament and the New Testament) is the influence or parallel or result of other outside sources is a false teacher, an antichrist, an agent of the devil. These false and facetious, incorrect and invalid assertions appear a great deal in the works of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers. The Apocalyptic literature is not the Word of God.

(3). Noah

Heb 11:7, “By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

Note: Noah in Greek is Nōe which means rest; the second father of the human race; - which occurs 8 times in the New Testament. Warn in Greek is chrēmatizō which means to be warned of God; to be admonished of God; to be warned from God; to be divinely instructed; to be divinely commanded; - which occurs 9 times in the New Testament. When God spoke to Noah about things not yet seen, by faith Noah received the command of God to prepare an ark for the salvation of his household.

The following is a list of facts about Noah:

(A). Lamech is the father of Noah (Gen 5:28-30, “Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son. Now he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed. ”Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.”

(B). Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Gen 5:32, “Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

(C). Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord (Gen 6:8-9, “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.” The reasons Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord are clear: Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. Enoch was the first man mentioned in the Scripture who walked with God, Noah was the second man mentioned in the Bible that he walked with God.

(D). Noah was the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Gen 6:10,

“Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

(E). The days of Noah (Gen 6:5-7, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The LORD said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” To say that God was sorry and He was grieved in His heart is completely anthropomorphic expression. God is not man that He feels sorry or grieves in His heart. God knows everything. God knows the end from the beginning. God knows and controls whatever comes to pass. Nothing surprises or upsets God.

(F). Gen 6:11-12, “Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.”

Note: Corrupt in Hebrew is shachath which means to be destroyed; to be marred; to be spoiled; to be battered; to go to ruin; to be rotted; to be decayed; - which occurs 164 times in the Old Testament. Violence in Hebrew is chamac which means cruelty; wrong; injustice; damage; oppression; unrighteousness; - which occurs 60 times. The whole world today is also corrupt in the sight of God and filled with violence, especially the United States of America. How insane is any government that makes guns available to crooks and criminals and terrorists!

(G). God told Noah to build an ark (Gen 6:13-22, “Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. You shall make a window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. As for you, take for yourself some of all food which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them.” Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.”

Note: Noah was not only a righteous man, Noah was a great achiever who did all that God had commanded him.

(H). Noah was 600 years old when the flood of water came upon the earth (Gen 7:6), “ Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.”

Note: The Bible does not say when Noah began the task of building the Ark, it says clearly when Noah was 600 years old the Flood came.

(I). The Deluge lasted 150 days.

Gen 7:1-24, “Then the LORD said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time. You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female; also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth. “For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.” Noah did according to all that the LORD had commanded him. Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth. Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood. Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground, there went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds. So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the LORD closed it behind him. Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. The water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.”

(J). Eight persons entered the Ark.

Gen 7:13, “On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.”

Note: The persons entered the Ark: Noah, Noah’s wife (name unknown); Noah’s three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and the three wives of Noah’s sons (names unknown).

Ark in Hebrew is tebah which means a chest, coffer; the ship which Noah made like a chest or coffer; - it occurs 28 times in the Old Testament.

Something is most interesting and amazing about the Chinese character for “ship”. Chinese characters are square. The etymology of the Chinese word " ship " 船 , 舟 (big boat) 八 (eight) , 口 (mouth). One mouth means one person. So the Chinese character 船 means in a big boat, there were 8 mouths or 8 persons. Thus ship is written with "boat" on the left, "eight mouths" on the right. In the big ship there were 8 persons, one mouth stands for one person. For the Chinese in counting population, you count how many mouths. It is historically significant because Noah, his wife, their three sons and three daughters-in-law made up a family of 8 persons who entered the Ark and were saved from the Flood or the Deluge. And so the Chinese character “ ship ” is written that there are 8 mouths in the Ark.

1 Pe 3:20, “Who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water."
Note: Ark in Greek is kibōtos which means a wooden chest or box, Noah's vessel built in the form of an ark; - it occurs 6 times in the New Testament.

2 Pe 2:5 , "And did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly."

Note: Was the Flood only a story or a myth? Jesus Christ confirmed it as a historical event. Jesus Christ confirms both the creation and the Ark as true historical facts.

Luk 17:27, "They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all."

Note: I would rather believe my Lord and my God, Jesus Christ, than all the scientists and philosophers and theologians of all generations put together. Jesus Christ died for sinners and rose from the dead and lives forever; all scientists and philosophers and theologians not only will die, they do not even know the day of their death.

(K). God remembered Noah.

Gen 8:1-22, “But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided. Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained; and the water receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of one hundred and fifty days the water decreased. In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. The water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible. Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made; and he sent out a raven, and it flew here and there until the water was dried up from the earth. Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land; but the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself. So he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark. The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth. Then he waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; but she did not return to him again. Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. Then God spoke to Noah, saying, “Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth. ”So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by their families from the ark.”

Apparently, the Deluge was geographically universal, only 8 persons were saved. The Ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. Mount Ararat is in Turkey. All Biblical places are real geographical places. All Biblical characters are real historical persons.

(L). Noah built an altar to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings.

Gen 8:20-22, “Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.“ While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”

(M). God blessed Noah and his sons.

Gen 9:1-19, “And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.“ The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given. “Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. “Surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every man, from every man’s brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man’s blood,
By man his blood shall be shed,
For in the image of God
He made man. As for you, be fruitful and multiply;
Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.” Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you; and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood, neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.”

(N). Noah lived to be 950 years old and died.

Gen 9:28-29, “Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.”

(O). The second coming of Jesus will be just like the days of Noah.

Mat 24:37-42,“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.”

Note: Christians must be on the alert, for we do not know which day the Lord is coming again.

(P). Fire will destroy the present Heavens and earth.

2Pe 2:5, “and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly.”

2Pe 3:6-7, “through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His Word the present Heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”

Note: As water destroyed the ancient world, so fire will destroy the present world. The day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men is near. The days of warmongers, imperialists, militarists, monopolists, capitalists, supremacists, and terrorists are numbered.

I reject totally the practice of some academics or pseudo scholars who quote the Midrash or any outside sources or influences to so-called fill in gaps in Biblical texts. The Biblical account is not derived from the Babylonian or any primitive civilizations. The correct attitude toward the Word of God is absolute and complete and independent. It is clearly blasphemous to think that God has to borrow from human sources or resources. We stress what the Bibles stresses. We discuss what is written in the Bible. We do not indulge in any subject which the Word of God is silent. We do not speculate. Some people like to pretend the breadth of their knowledge by quoting legends, myths, mythologies, fables, secular unverifiable histories, traditions, etc. as if they were facts. I practice using the Word of God to explain the Word of God. Let the Word of God explain the Scripture.

I reject also the history of the world covering 6,000 years. I reject any hypothesis or theory which is not validated by the Word of God. I do not care what self-appointed scholars think or say. There are so many types proposed by some self-claimed theologians, but they are like cattle heads connected to horse mouths. I believe nothing is impossible with God. The authority of Jesus Christ is absolute, perfect, supreme, and ultimate. Col 2:8, “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.” I have discovered that it is a waste of time and effort to study the works of philosophy of empty deception, traditions of men and the elementary principles of the world.

It has been said, the brevity of the Biblical history satisfies not human curiosity. However, the Bible is not a book to satisfy human curiosity, depravity, and vanity. The central message of the Bible is Jesus Christ, not anything or anybody else. The purpose of revelation is Rom 16:25, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.” The mystery of Christ is the mystery of God. Eph 1:17, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.” The purpose of revelation is that you may have the knowledge of Christ. Col 1:9, “For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Christians want to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. Science and philosophy do not and cannot offer you real knowledge, spiritual wisdom and understanding.

(4). Abraham

Heb 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.”

Note: The faith of Abraham was great, in obedience to God he went out not knowing where he was going. There are people who do not know where they are going because they are lost in the world. Abraham followed God and did not question God.

Here is a list of facts about Abraham:

(A). Originally called ABRAM.

Gen 11:26, “Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.”

(B). God appeared to Abram when he was 99 years old.

Gen 17:1-4, “ Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am God Almighty;
Walk before Me, and be blameless. I will establish My covenant between Me and you,
And I will multiply you exceedingly.” Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying, “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.”

Note: It is no small thing that Abraham is called the friend of God. Jas 2:23, “and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God.”

(C). Terah was the father of Abram.

Gen 11:26, “Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.”

(D). Sarai was Abram’s wife.

Gen 11:29, “ Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah.”

(E). Abram Left Ur and Moved to Haran.

Gen 11:31, “Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans in order to enter the land of Canaan; and they went as far as Haran, and settled there.”

Act 7:2-3, “And he said, “Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and said to him, ‘LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR RELATIVES, AND COME INTO THE LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.”

Act 7:4, “Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living.”

(F). The Lord told Abram to go to the land which God will show him.

Gen 12:1, “Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you.”

Jos 24:3, “Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.”

Heb 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.”

(G). Abram departed from Haran to the land of Canaan.

Gen 12:4-5, “So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan.”

(H). God gave the land of Canaan to Abraham’s descendants.

Gen 12:7-8, “The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him. Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.”

Note: The land of Canaan was given by God to the descendants of Abraham, not Palestinians, not Arabs, not Hamas or any other races, and cannot be determined by the United Nations. Abraham never lived in a house, but his descendants have the right to build houses in the Promised Land.

(I). Due to famine, Abram went down to sojourn in Egypt.

Gen 12:10, “Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.”

(J). Lot separated from Abram.

Gen 13:8-9, “So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers. Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left.”

Note: The possessions of Abram and Lot were so great that they were not able to remain together. Abram appeared most noble, he acceded the right to Lot to choose to go to the right or to the left. Hebron was where Abram had sojourned.

(K). Abram defeated Chedorlaomer and saved his relative Lot.

Gen 14:14-17, “When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. He divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus. He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people. Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).”

(L). Melchizedek blessed Abram and Abram gave him a tenth of all.

Gen 14:18-20, “And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said,
“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,
Possessor of Heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High,
Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
He gave him a tenth of all.”

Heb 7:1-2, “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.”

(M). God made covenant with Abram.

Gen 15:1, “ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying,
“Do not fear, Abram,
I am a shield to you;
Your reward shall be very great.”

Gen 17:1-4, “Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am God Almighty;
Walk before Me, and be blameless.“ I will establish My covenant between Me and you, And I will multiply you exceedingly.” Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying, “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you will be the father of a multitude of nations.”

Rom 4:13, “For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.”

(N). Hagar bore Abram a son called Ishmael.

Gen 16:3-5, “After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as his wife. He went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her sight. And Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her sight. May the LORD judge between you and me.”

Note: Hagar represents a slave that despised her mistress. When a little man is elevated, he becomes abusive and oppressive.

Gen 16:15-16, “So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.”

(O). God changed the name of Abram into Abraham.

Gen 17:5, “No longer shall your name be called Abram,
But your name shall be Abraham;
For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.”

Neh 9:7, “You are the LORD God,
Who chose Abram
And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees,
And gave him the name Abraham.”

1Ch 1:27, “Abram, that is Abraham.”

(P). Circumcision the sign of the covenant between God and Abraham.

Gen 17:10-11, “This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised. And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you.”

Gen 17:24, “Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.”

(Q). The Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre.

Gen 18:1-5, “Now the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth, and said, “My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by. Please let a little water be brought and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree; and I will bring a piece of bread, that you may refresh yourselves; after that you may go on, since you have visited your servant.” And they said, “So do, as you have said.”

Note: I believe “three men” were the Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit appeared in human forms.

(R). Abraham pleaded for Sodom.

Gen 18:32-33, “Then he said, “Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it on account of the ten.” As soon as He had finished speaking to Abraham the LORD departed, and Abraham returned to his place.”

Note: God eventually destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. There could not be found 10 righteous men in Sodom. Probably, there could not be found 10 righteous men in Washington, D.C. or London or Paris today.

(S). Abraham sojourned in Gerar.

Gen 20:1, “Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar.”

Gen 20:2-3, “ Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married.”

Note: God prevented Abimelech king of Gerar from violating Sarah.

(T). Sarah bore a son to Abraham called Isaac.

Gen 21:1-3, “Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had promised. So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.”

Gal 4:22-23, “For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.”

Note: The Lord did for Sarah as He had promised. The Lord always performs what He promised.

(U). God tested Abraham.

Gen 22:1-14, “Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son. Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “In the mount of the LORD it will be provided.”

Heb 11:17, “ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son.”

Note: This is an interesting account of Abraham’s complete obedience of faith in willing to sacrifice even his only son. There have been much fusses and noises in reaction to this passage of the Scripture. Who am I to question what the Lord God Almighty is doing? God does whatever He pleases. Whatever God does is right. There are some damned souls who think that God has to please them.

(V). Sarah dies and Abraham bought a field to bury Sarah.

Gen 23:1-16, “Now Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. Then Abraham rose from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying, “I am a stranger and a sojourner among you; give me a burial site among you that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” The sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him, “Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our graves; none of us will refuse you his grave for burying your dead.” So Abraham rose and bowed to the people of the land, the sons of Heth. And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your wish for me to bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and approach Ephron the son of Zohar for me, that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he owns, which is at the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in your presence for a burial site.” Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth; even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying, “No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.” And Abraham bowed before the people of the land. He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, “If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me that I may bury my dead there.” Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, “My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead.” Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, commercial standard.”

Note: This incident is another one to reflect the magnificent character of Abraham. He did not want to get something for free, he paid the full price for a piece of land. America is doomed to bankruptcy because so many in America want something for nothing. All interest groups want a piece of America. Only the military-industrial-security complex alone like black hole will swallow up America. They all want free entitlements. They want welfare without work. In business today you cannot find another Abraham. There are evildoers today who rejoiced without shame in being able to defraud billions of dollars as a badge of honor. The Chinese TV reports all kinds of frauds everyday.

(W). Abraham died of old age and buried with Sarah his wife.

Gen 25:7-10, “These are all the years of Abraham’s life that he lived, one hundred and seventy-five years. Abraham breathed his last and died in a ripe old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was gathered to his people. Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife.”

Isa 41:8, “But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Descendant of Abraham My friend.”

Jas 2:23, “and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God.”

Note: Historically there is no one like Abraham who by faith pleased God so much that he earned the title the friend of God.

(X). Abraham is the father of all who believe in God.

Heb 11:8-12, “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.”

Rom 4:16, “For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.”

Note: Abraham is the father of all of us who have faith in God. Abraham has the most magnificent, noble, and remarkable character as the patriarch of the Jewish race, the chosen people. In my opinion, Abraham is the greatest man ever lived in the history of mankind. Martin Luther is the greatest man in history outside of the Holy Bible. I also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. I am looking for the Holy City, the New Jerusalem; waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ in great power and glory.

(5). Joseph

Heb 11:22, “By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.”

Note: Joseph in Greek is Iōsēph which means let him add; the patriarch, the eleventh son of Jacob; which occurs 35 times in the New Testament. Do not confuse the Joseph of the Old Testament, favorite son of Jacob and the Joseph of the New Testament who is the husband of Mary. The story of Joseph is among the most favorite Bible stories of all Sunday School children, and most beneficial for young minds.

The following is a list of facts about Joseph:

(A). Rachel bore Jacob no children.

Gen 30:1-2, “Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I die.” Then Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”

Note: In any culture, East or West, it is of prime importance that a woman bears children. Barrenness is considered a shame even to this day. To be jealous in Hebrew is qana' which means to envy; to be jealous of; to be envious of; to excite to jealous anger; - which occurs 42 times in the Old Testament. Job 5:2, “For anger slays the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.” Jealousy kills. Do you know jealousy has geopolitical significance? America and European nations are jealous of the spectacular successes of China, for that reason they want to have war with China to eliminate a competitor. America and Europe want to maintain status quo of world domination and dictatorship. Jacob was right being angry because he is not in the place of God. No one is in the place of God. Warmongers, imperialists, militarists, supremacists, capitalists, monopolists, and terrorists want to be in the place of God to rule the world. For better or worse, today science has enabled test tube fertilization so that the barren couple may have children.

(B). God remembered Rachel and she bore a son named Joseph.

Gen 30:22-25, “Then God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb. So she conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.” She named him Joseph, saying, “May the LORD give me another son.” Now it came about when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my own country.”

Note: Remember in Hebrew is zakar which means to think; to be mindful of; to call to mind; to keep in remembrance; to recollect; to bring to mind; to bear in mind; to bring to remembrance; - which occurs 240 times in the Old Testament. It is wonderful to be remembered by God. May God remember me. Reproach in Hebrew is ḥerpâ which means shame; rebuke; scorn; disgrace; contempt; a thing or person considered despised; - which occurs 73 times in the Old Testament. In any culture, barrenness is more or less still a shame.

(C). Jacob loved Joseph more and his brothers hated him.

Gen 37:1-4, “ Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan. These are the records of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, when seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers while he was still a youth, along with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic. His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they hated him and could not speak to him on friendly terms.”

Note: General speaking, parental favoritism may cause sibling conflict. Different character, personality, temperament, value, behavior, interest, disorder, tone of voice, etc. may also contribute to the conflict. Is it right for Jacob to love Joseph more than all his sons? As a rule, parental favoritism is not good. If you look to the end of the story, Joseph was the savior of the whole family. Doesn’t Joseph deserve more love? Who am I to criticize Jacob. Do you know Exo 3:6, “He said also, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.” God said to Moses, God is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

How to handle sibling fighting? Just stop it. Tons of psychological counseling is not worth as much as Biblical teaching. Darwin’s notion of survival of the fittest is detrimental to Christian family of love.

Pro 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go,
Even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

A simple suggestion on how to train up children:

(1). Set good parental example.

Example: Quarreling parents produce quarreling children. Shouting and yelling parents produce shouting and yelling children.

(2). Establish principles of conduct.

Examples: No cheating, no lying, no shouting, no physical fighting, no cursing, no dirty name calling, no malice, no stealing, no physical abuse, no verbal abuse, etc. Love each other. Pray for each other. Help each other.

(3). Enforce harmony by punishment.

Punishment is necessary to correct and discipline children and maintain order.

(D). Joseph had a dream.

Gen 37:5-8, “Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. He said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have had; for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.” Then his brothers said to him, “Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.”

Perhaps it is better to keep your dream to yourself.

(E). Joseph had still another dream.

Gen 37:9-11, “Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, “Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?” His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.”

Pro 6:34, “For jealousy enrages a man,
And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.”

Note: Jealousy is a dangerous passion which enrages a man and is rotten to the bones. Maybe it is a good idea not to tell your dream to anyone.

(F). The dreamer was sold to Egypt.

Gen 37:12-36, “ Then his brothers went to pasture their father’s flock in Shechem. Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “I will go.” Then he said to him, “Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me.” So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, “What are you looking for?” He said, “I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock.” Then the man said, “They have moved from here; for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan. When they saw him from a distance and before he came close to them, they plotted against him to put him to death. They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer!“ Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, ‘A wild beast devoured him.’ Then let us see what will become of his dreams!” But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands and said, “Let us not take his life.” Reuben further said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father. So it came about, when Joseph reached his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the varicolored tunic that was on him; and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, without any water in it. Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt. Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it for us to kill our brother and cover up his blood? Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt. Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments. He returned to his brothers and said, “The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?” So they took Joseph’s tunic, and slaughtered a male goat and dipped the tunic in the blood; and they sent the varicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said, “We found this; please examine it to see whether it is your son’s tunic or not.” Then he examined it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him; Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!” So Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days. Then all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. And he said, “Surely I will go down to Sheol in mourning for my son.” So his father wept for him. Meanwhile, the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, Pharaoh’s officer, the captain of the bodyguard.”

Note: How cruel were Jacob’s 10 sons to deceive their father with fake news that Joseph was killed by the beasts so that Jacob mourned and wept for Joseph many days. How cruel is Western media that daily and continuously make fake news, fake reports, and spread lies and false views to damage and destroy other nations not bowing to America and Europe. The sin of withholding true information is great. False report or fake news can do great damage and harm to the people. How Jacob suffered because of false report made by his ten sons. Western media daily make false reports, fake news, false representations, false views in the world and spread lies and falsehoods without shame to support warmongers, militarists, imperialist, supremacists, capitalists, monopolists, crooks and criminals, and terrorists.

(G). Joseph was sold to Potiphar and became a successful man.

Gen 39:1-5, “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there. The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge. It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD’S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.”

Note: Destiny is an interesting and profound subject. Do you think it was an accident that Joseph was sold to Potiphar an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh? Apparently it was appointed by God. The secret of success is alluded in this passage. The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. So is the secret. Joseph became a successful man because the Lord was with him. Do not think a person is successful must be due to the fact that the Lord is with him. The most successful people in the world today are executives of Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex and Western media, who own most of the power and wealth in the world, yet they are children of the devil who lie, kill, and rob. The richest man in the world is a monopolist and a predator.

(H). Joseph was handsome and his master’s wife seduced him.

Gen 39:6-23, “So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. It came about after these events that his master’s wife looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.” But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge. There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?”As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her. Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside. She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside. When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside, she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.“ When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside. ”So she left his garment beside her until his master came home. Then she spoke to him with these words, “The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me; and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.” Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” his anger burned. So Joseph’s master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail. But the LORD was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. The chief jailer committed to Joseph’s charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it. The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph’s charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.”

Note: Being handsome for a man and beautiful for a woman have advantages and dangers. Adulterous women lust after handsome young men. Wicked men want to rape beautiful women. When a criminal failed to achieve her goal, she is likely to resort to false accusations and other crooked means. Do you know that the righteous might suffer and be falsely accused? More and more the world witnesses the sufferings of the righteous in this evil and corrupt world.

(I). Joseph interpreted the dreams of cupbearer and baker.

Gen 40:1-23, “Then it came about after these things, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker. So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned. The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time. Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected. He asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so sad today?” Then they said to him, “We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.” So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me; and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes. Now Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.” Then Joseph said to him, “This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer. Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house. For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon.” When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, “I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head; and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” Then Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree, and the birds will eat your flesh off you.” Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. He restored the chief cupbearer to his office, and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand; but he hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had interpreted to them. Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.”

Note: This is a penetrating lesson about ingratitude of man. When Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his office; the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him. I have found 90 percent of people whom you have helped will not remember but forget you. The trial is harder and heavier when you face with outright ingratitude. When you help anyone, do not expect any good return or you will be disappointed.

(J). Delayed deliverance is hard to bear, but God controls event and timing.

Gen 41:1-13, “Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile. And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass. Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. The ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke. He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good. Then behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them. The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Now in the morning his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh. Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I would make mention today of my own offenses. “Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker. We had a dream on the same night, he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. Now a Hebrew youth was with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related them to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his own dream. And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but he hanged him.”

Pro 13:12, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”

Note: You can imagine how heart sick was Joseph for waiting extra two full years for deliverance. I do not know whether Joseph knew when he was falsely imprisoned, that God controls events and timing. No one is wise enough or powerful enough to control any event or timing. If God is with you, don’t worry, your time will come sooner or later.

(K). Pharaoh called for Joseph, Joseph interpreted the dreams, and Pharaoh made him the second ruler in Egypt.

Gen 41:14-46, “Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.” So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile; and behold, seven cows, fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass. Lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt; and the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows. Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke. I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk; and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them; and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.” Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do. The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same. The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine. It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown to Pharaoh what He is about to do. Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt; and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land. So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe. Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about. Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land, and let him exact a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance. Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and let them guard it. Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.” Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants. Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?” So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are. You shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you.” Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put the gold necklace around his neck. He had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Egypt. Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Though I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt. Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.”

Note: The life of Joseph is a testimony to the wonderful providence of God. It was memorable and remarkable how God raised him from prison to palace. Joseph had the correct attitude and gave God all the honor. He said to Pharaoh, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.” A good servant never exalts himself; a good servant of God gives God all the glory. Joseph did not marry a Jewish girl. Pharaoh gave Joseph a new name Zaphenath-paneah and new wife Asenath he could not refuse. Zaphenath-paneah in Egyptian is Tsophnath Pa`neach which means "treasury of the glorious rest"; salvation or savior of the age; revealer of a secret; - which occurs 1 time in the Old Testament. Asenath in Egyptian is 'Acĕnath which means "belonging to the goddess Neith"; she who is of Neith; - which occurs 3 times in the Old Testament. The Bible gives no clue on the married life of Joseph. Probably Joseph had only one wife. It does not seem God objected to the marriage of Joseph and Asenath arranged by Pharaoh.

Act 7:9-10, “The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him, and rescued him from all his afflictions, and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and all his household.”

Note: Become jealous in Greek is zēloō which means to burn with zeal; to boil with envy; to covet earnestly; to feel resentful toward; - which occurs 18 times in the New Testament. Envy or jealousy can produce evil deeds. American president and congressional leaders are doing everything without cause or reason to curb the peaceful rise of China, because they want to maintain status quo to dictate and dominate the world, and also because they are jealous of the great successes achieved by China in many fronts. The secret of security and success in life is to have God be with you. God grants favor and wisdom. You will do well or succeed in this life if God grants you His favor and wisdom. Joseph became more than the governor of Egypt. In modern language, Joseph became the Prime Minister of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh.

(L). Joseph was wise to prepare for the inevitable and God blessed him to forget all his trouble and be comforted with two sons.

Gen 41:47-57, “During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth abundantly. So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields. Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure. Now before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him. Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, “For,” he said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” He named the second Ephraim, “For,” he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.” When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, you shall do.” When the famine was spread over all the face of the earth, then Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was severe in the land of Egypt. The people of all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.”

Note: Years of plenty will always come to an end. All good things come to an end. Famine comes after abundance. Joseph was a great nation manager and administrator, he knew how to store the surplus grain in time of plenty for the time of famine. A nation that squanders its resources is going to bankrupt and suffer poverty. A nation that borrows and spends beyond its means is going to ruin. It was wonderful that Joseph said that God has made him forget all his trouble. It is a shout of triumph. It is even better when God made Joseph fruitful in the land of his affliction. It is better than winning great wealth. The nation that has bread or food is stronger than nuclear weapons.

(M). Jacob sent his 10 sons down to Egypt to buy grain.

Gen 42:1-38, “Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?” He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die.” Then ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt. But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that harm may befall him.” So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also. Now Joseph was the ruler over the land; he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, “Where have you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.” But Joseph had recognized his brothers, although they did not recognize him. Joseph remembered the dreams which he had about them, and said to them, “You are spies; you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land.” Then they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food. We are all sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies.” Yet he said to them, “No, but you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land!” But they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers in all, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive.” Joseph said to them, “It is as I said to you, you are spies; by this you will be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here! Send one of you that he may get your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. But if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies.” So he put them all together in prison for three days. Now Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God: if you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in your prison; but as for the rest of you, go, carry grain for the famine of your households, and bring your youngest brother to me, so your words may be verified, and you will not die.” And they did so. Then they said to one another, “Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us.” Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood.” They did not know, however, that Joseph understood, for there was an interpreter between them. He turned away from them and wept. But when he returned to them and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes. Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain and to restore every man’s money in his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. And thus it was done for them. So they loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed from there. As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his money; and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack. Then he said to his brothers, “My money has been returned, and behold, it is even in my sack.” And their hearts sank, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?” When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them, saying,“ The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly with us, and took us for spies of the country. But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies. We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.’ The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go. But bring your youngest brother to me that I may know that you are not spies, but honest men. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.’ Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed. Their father Jacob said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.” Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my care, and I will return him to you.” But Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”

Note: Jacob saw means Jacob learned about or Jacob had heard. In a famine what is more important than grain? This is the most moving part of the story when the ten brothers encountered Joseph in buying grain from the ruler of the land not recognizing Joseph although Joseph recognized them. Especially when they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground and Joseph remembered the dreams which he had about them. The ten brothers were conscious of their sins that they were truly guilty. Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood.” Reckoning means making inquisition. European nations have done so much evil in this world in the last 500 years, the reckoning will come. American presidents and congressional leaders have killed millions and millions of innocent people around the world since the end of World War II, the reckoning for their blood by God will come upon America soon. Japanese military killed 35 million Chinese in 14 years of war of aggression, yet Japanese leaders denied them all and refused to pay compensations. The reckoning for their blood by God will soon come upon Japan. There is a reckoning for every evil deed committed. 2Th 1:8, “dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus.” Retribution in Greek is ekdikēsis which means vengeance; revenge; punishment; - which occurs 10 times in the New Testament. God’s retribution or punishment upon warmongers, dictators, predators, deceivers, oppressors, aggressors, imperialists, militarists, capitalists, monopolists, and terrorists is sure and certain. Their days are numbered. Hell is opening up to swallow them.

Jacob said to his sons, “You will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.” This verse is often misunderstood. Through much of the Old Testament period, Sheol was believed to be the place where all the dead went. It was not Hell.

(N). Jacob sent his 11 sons down to Egypt the second time to buy food.

Gen 43:1-34, “Now the famine was severe in the land. So it came about when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, “Go back, buy us a little food.” Judah spoke to him, however, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ If you send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food.“ But if you do not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, ‘You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.’ Then Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man whether you still had another brother?” But they said, “The man questioned particularly about us and our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ So we answered his questions. Could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?” Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the lad with me and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones. I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever. For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice.” Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds. Take double the money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was a mistake. Take your brother also, and arise, return to the man; and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.” So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph. When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, “Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon.” So the man did as Joseph said, and brought the men to Joseph’s house. Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys.” So they came near to Joseph’s house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house, and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food, and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full. So we have brought it back in our hand. We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks.” He said, “Be at ease, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them. Then the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder. So they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there. When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him. Then he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” They bowed down in homage. As he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, he said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “May God be gracious to you, my son.” Joseph hurried out for he was deeply stirred over his brother, and he sought a place to weep; and he entered his chamber and wept there. Then he washed his face and came out; and he controlled himself and said, “Serve the meal.” So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians. Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment. He took portions to them from his own table, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.”

Note: This is the most emotionally charged meeting when Joseph saw his younger brother Benjamin after that many years, he was so deeply stirred over his brother that he sought a place to weep; and Joseph entered his chamber and wept there. The story of Joseph is a classic masterpiece. But it is a real history, not fiction, unlike other masterpieces. God has done in a mysterious way as exemplified in the life of Joseph, His wonders to perform.

(O). Joseph gave his 10 brothers a reality test of good and evil, true and false.

Gen 44:1-34, “Then he commanded his house steward, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack. Put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his money for the grain.” And he did as Joseph had told him. As soon as it was light, the men were sent away, they with their donkeys. They had just gone out of the city, and were not far off, when Joseph said to his house steward, “Up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? Is not this the one from which my lord drinks and which he indeed uses for divination? You have done wrong in doing this.’ So he overtook them and spoke these words to them. They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing.“ Behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks we have brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house? With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.” So he said, “Now let it also be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and the rest of you shall be innocent.” Then they hurried, each man lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack. He searched, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack. Then they tore their clothes, and when each man loaded his donkey, they returned to the city. When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him. Joseph said to them, “What is this deed that you have done? Do you not know that such a man as I can indeed practice divination?” So Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and the one in whose possession the cup has been found.” But he said, “Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose possession the cup has been found, he shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.” Then Judah approached him, and said, “Oh my lord, may your servant please speak a word in my lord’s ears, and do not be angry with your servant; for you are equal to Pharaoh.“My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father or a brother? We said to my lord, ‘We have an old father and a little child of his old age. Now his brother is dead, so he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him. Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me that I may set my eyes on him. But we said to my lord, ‘The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die. You said to your servants, however, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.’ Thus it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. Our father said, ‘Go back, buy us a little food.’ But we said, ‘We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we cannot see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’ Your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons; and the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces,” and I have not seen him since. If you take this one also from me, and harm befalls him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’ Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad’s life, when he sees that the lad is not with us, he will die. Thus your servants will bring the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow. For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then let me bear the blame before my father forever.’ Now, therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers. “For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me—for fear that I see the evil that would overtake my father?”

Note: It is such dramatic attempt to save Benjamin that Judah is willing to face all the consequences for the sake of Benjamin and his old father. When a man begins to decide to bear his responsibility, his conduct becomes good and correct and decent.

(P). Joseph made himself known and declared God did a great deliverance.

Gen 45:1-28, “Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, “Have everyone go out from me.” So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. He wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard of it. Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence. Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance. Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph, “God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay. “You shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children’s children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have. There I will also provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, and you and your household and all that you have would be impoverished.” Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you. Now you must tell my father of all my splendor in Egypt, and all that you have seen; and you must hurry and bring my father down here.” Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. He kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and afterward his brothers talked with him. Now when the news was heard in Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and go to the land of Canaan, and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land.’ Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come. Do not concern yourselves with your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. To each of them he gave changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments. To his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father on the journey. So he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the journey.” Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But he was stunned, for he did not believe them. When they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. Then Israel said, “It is enough; my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”

Note: Joseph was convinced it was God who controlled everything, and his destiny. A spiritual man should be able to see beyond the surface. God controls whatever comes to pass, God controls events and timing. Joseph was so successful and so confident that he declared that God has made him a father to Pharaoh, not only the ruler of Egypt. When news is too good to be true, the recipient is stunned. Why Jacob did not believe his sons? Because they had lied and deceived him before. A man’s credibility is determined by his previous history. You cannot trust any man who had lied and deceived you before. Pharaoh was so generous that he said the best of all the land of Egypt belongs to Jacob’s family. When Jacob saw the wagons, he realized it was true. Is there anything more happier than his spirit revived? What you must do you must do it in a hurry before you die.

(Q). Joseph presented his father to Pharaoh, and he managed and ruled Egypt to make Pharaoh very wealthy.

Gen 47:7-31, “Then Joseph brought his father Jacob and presented him to Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many years have you lived?” So Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning.” And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from his presence. So Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered. Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all his father’s household with food, according to their little ones. Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. Joseph gathered all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone.” Then Joseph said, “Give up your livestock, and I will give you food for your livestock, since your money is gone.” So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses and the flocks and the herds and the donkeys; and he fed them with food in exchange for all their livestock that year. When that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent, and the cattle are my lord’s. There is nothing left for my lord except our bodies and our lands. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed, that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.” So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. Thus the land became Pharaoh’s. As for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of Egypt’s border to the other. Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land. Then Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh; now, here is seed for you, and you may sow the land. At the harvest you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own for seed of the field and for your food and for those of your households and as food for your little ones.” So they said, “You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s slaves.” Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh’s. Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous. Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; so the length of Jacob’s life was one hundred and forty-seven years. When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt, but when I lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.” He said, “Swear to me.” So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.”

Note: Joseph made it a statute that Pharaoh should have the fifth as tax. America has higher taxes. Once I was in charge of an important corporate project, when it was accomplished the executive vice president awarded me $2,000 as a bonus. I was shocked and stunned because the U.S. government took $1,000 which was one third of what I earned. It is even more atrocious when the American richest billionaires pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries. In Scandinavia, peoples pay high rate of taxes but they get the best social benefits in the world, totally free from the high cost of medical care like that in America which bankrupted millions of families. There are no poor or destitute or homeless people in Scandinavia.

(R). Joseph buried his father Jacob in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, and his brothers begged for forgiveness; Joseph gave orders concerning his bones.

Gen 50:15-26, “When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!” So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father charged before he died, saying, ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph, “Please forgive, I beg you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. Then his brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place? “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father’s household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years. Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim’s sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph’s knees. Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely take care of you and bring you up from this land to the land which He promised on oath to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.” Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones up from here.” So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years; and he was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.”

Note: In the history of mankind, you can hardly find anyone comparable to the life of Joseph, true but not idealized. The story of Joseph was my favorite Bible story as a child, and perhaps the story of Daniel was the second best in the Bible. Joseph was a dreamer and whose dreams came true. I was a dreamer too, and my small dream also came true. Although I did not come to be a ruler. I never dreamed of becoming a ruler. I worked my way the hard way through university to achieve the advanced degree in higher education. Joseph rose from slavery to the highest office in Egypt, from pit to prison and to palace all because God was with him. For the suffering life of Joseph, a great truth emerges before us is the fact that God controls events and timing, and God rules over the destiny of men. The ten brothers of Joseph meant evil against him, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this great result, to preserve many people alive. No matter what men do, however evil, God is able to turn evil into good, to control the results. Rom 8:28, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” The great power and glory of God is manifested in the fact we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God. If you study a little about cause and effect you know how complicated to identify cause and effect. God causes all things to work together is beyond human understanding or scientific inquiry or cannons of logic. The wonder of wonders God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God. Joseph by faith made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones. Faith is seeing the invisible. Faith is looking into the future.

(6). Moses

Heb 11:23-29, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.”

Note: Moses in Greek is Mōÿsēs which means "drawing out"; the Hebrew lawgiver; - which occurs 80 times in the New Testament. The most important historical fact is summed up by Jesus, Jhn 1:17, “For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

Here is a list of facts about Moses:

(A). Moses war born a beautiful son, adopted by the daughter of Pharaoh.

Exo 2:1-10, “Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi. The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him. The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?” Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go ahead.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

Note: Moses was a Levite, a son of Amram. Moses was lovely in the sight of God. Imagine it is enough to be beautiful in the sight of man. How much more to be lovely in the sight of God.

Exo 6:20, “Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram’s life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.”

Act 7:20, “It was at this time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father’s home.”

Here again is an illustrious example of how God controls events and timing. The daughter of Pharaoh came down to the Nile to bathe when the wicker basket of Moses was floating. When the daughter of Pharaoh opened the basket, and behold, the boy was crying. The daughter of Pharaoh had pity on him. Moses’ sister was the smartest girl and knew what to say to the princess. “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?” She received the go ahead that paid Moses true mother wages for nursing her own son. Is there anything better than that providential arrangement?

(B). Moses grew up, identified with the people of God, and fled from Pharaoh.

Exo 2:11-25, “Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. He went out the next day, and behold, two Hebrews were fighting with each other; and he said to the offender, “Why are you striking your companion?” But he said, “Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and said, “Surely the matter has become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock. Then the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them and watered their flock. When they came to Reuel their father, he said, “Why have you come back so soon today?” So they said, “An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and what is more, he even drew the water for us and watered the flock.” He said to his daughters, “Where is he then? Why is it that you have left the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat.” Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses. Then she gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.” Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God. So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God saw the sons of Israel, and God took notice of them.”

Note: How most people seek and want to be a part of royalty. Yet Moses grown up refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. What a choice Moses made. Moses chose rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin in Egyptian palace. Moses considered the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. Moses did what most people of the world would not. Yet there are so many ministers who would consider it glory to be invited to the White House whose boss is a liar and killer and robber!

(C). God appeared to Moses in the burning bush and called him to lead the children of Israel exodus Egypt to the Promised Land.

Exo 3:1-12, “Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. So Moses said, “I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.” When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” He said also, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. The LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings. So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. Now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them. Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?” And He said, “Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain.”

Act 7:31-34, “When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord: ‘I AM THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND JACOB.’ Moses shook with fear and would not venture to look.“ BUT THE LORD SAID TO HIM, ‘TAKE OFF THE SANDALS FROM YOUR FEET, FOR THE PLACE ON WHICH YOU ARE STANDING IS HOLY GROUND. ‘I HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN THE OPPRESSION OF MY PEOPLE IN EGYPT AND HAVE HEARD THEIR GROANS, AND I HAVE COME DOWN TO RESCUE THEM; COME NOW, AND I WILL SEND YOU TO EGYPT.”

Note: The bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. The burning bush is a big problem for unbelieving scientists and theologians because no rational thought or cannons of logic can explain it. Why the bush is not consumed? What God does is beyond natural, beyond human reason can figure out. There is nothing impossible with God. For that reason, Revelation is a trillion times superior to reason. The existence and presence of God is the holy ground where no scientists, scholars, philosophers and theologians may tread or stand.

(D). God revealed His name to Moses and commissioned him.

Exo 3:13-22, “Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations. Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt. So I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey. They will pay heed to what you say; and you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God. But I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, except under compulsion. So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and after that he will let you go. I will grant this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians.”

Note: It is wrong to ask what God is, because God is not a thing. It is also wrong to ask who God is for God is not a man. God is Spirit, neither man nor thing. But the Lord God Almighty declares Himself to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ Jehovah who is the ‘I AM WHO I AM’ of the Old Testament is the ‘I AM’ of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. This knowledge is beyond comprehension of unbelieving scientists and philosophers.

(E). Moses’ life is divided into three forty years period.

The life of Moses is divided into three periods, each of forty years. The first 40 years extend from his infancy to his life in the palace as son of the daughter of Pharaoh. Act 7:22-23,“Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds. But when he was approaching the age of forty, it entered his mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel.” In the first period of his life, Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds. For whatever its worth, the pyramids reflect the high level of Egyptian civilization, probably the profoundest at that period of time. I believe during these years Moses also mastered the Hebrew language, prepared and equipped him to write the Pentateuch. Anyway you look at the Pentateuch (the First Five Books of the Bible) literally, they are world masterpieces.

The second period of forty years, Moses fled and became an alien in the land of Midian where he was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law. Act 7:29, “At this remark, MOSES FLED AND BECAME AN ALIEN IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN, where he became the father of two sons.” The first period Moses learned all the learning of the world. The second period of forty years he was in the school of hard knocks, the University of God where God taught Moses how to shepherd flocks to prepare him to lead the Israelites exodus from Egypt. Act 7:30, “After forty years had passed, AN ANGEL APPEARED TO HIM IN THE WILDERNESS OF MOUNT Sinai, IN THE FLAME OF A BURNING THORN BUSH.” Exo 5:1, “And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.'”

The third period of forty years Moses led the Jewish people marching toward the Promised Land through the wilderness. Deu 29:5-6, “I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot. You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, in order that you might know that I am the LORD your God.” For forty years the Lord kept the Jewish people alive with a multitude of miracles, and yet they often complained and rebelled against God. During the third period of his life, which extends from the exodus out of Egypt to his death on mount Nebo. In this interval how much did Moses accomplish under many circumstances, as the servant and immediate agent of the Most High.

I hold the position and dislike the Bible scholars who make too much of typing Bible characters with Jesus Christ with seeming parallels. We should not use too much typing carelessly and unnecessarily. For I believe Jesus Christ is singularly incomparable. It is unproductive and futile to compare anyone with Jesus Christ. Rom 5:14, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.” Type in Greek is typos which means ensample; a figure or image; example; pattern; fashion; manner; form; a type i.e. a person or thing prefiguring a future (Messianic) person or thing (Strong’s Concordance); style or resemblance; - which occurs 15 times in the New Testament. It is proper to use Christ as the model for all believers to imitate. It falls short for any man to be a model. 1Co 10:4-6, “and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness. Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved.” There are many things in history written in the Bible for our instruction. Rom 15:4-5, “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus.” Our mind should focus on Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Any attempt to shift the focus from Jesus Christ to any man is not sound doctrine, not sound theology.

(F). Moses and Aaron said to Pharaoh what God said, Let My people go!

Exo 5:1-9, “And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.’ But Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and besides, I will not let Israel go.” Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labors!” Again Pharaoh said, “Look, the people of the land are now many, and you would have them cease from their labors!” So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters over the people and their foremen, saying, “You are no longer to give the people straw to make brick as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves. But the quota of bricks which they were making previously, you shall impose on them; you are not to reduce any of it. Because they are lazy, therefore they cry out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’ Let the labor be heavier on the men, and let them work at it so that they will pay no attention to false words.”

Note: Pharaoh insulted God and said he did not know the Lord, and would not let Israel go. In the next stage of drama how God would compel Pharaoh, and the children of Israel would go free and not empty-handed.

Exo 7:7, “Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.”

(G). How the Lord put Pharaoh under compulsion to let the Jews go.

Exo 6:1, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he will let them go, and under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.”

Note: Under compulsion in Hebrew means under strong hand. Under the strong hand of God even Pharaoh gave in and caved under. No one can withstand the strong Hand of God. You will see what the Lord will do to Pharaoh, and how God puts Pharaoh under compulsion so he will let the children of Israel leave Egypt.

Ten Plagues described in Exodus Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are awesome miracles and power of God.

First plague: The water of Nile was turned to blood.

Exo 7:20-21, “ So Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD had commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.”

Note: Water is essential to life. Man cannot exist without water. When water turns to blood, that is the worst. You cannot drink blood, take a bath in blood, or clean and wash in blood, or cook food in blood.

Second plague: Frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

Exo 8:5-6, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.’ So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.”

Note: Frogs are carnivores, leaping or jumping is used as a means for evading predators, and imagine millions of frogs making unique calls to disturb you. Imagine frogs cover up the whole land, including your homes and beds and kitchens.

Third plague: God sent gnats on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.

Exo 8:16-17, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats through all the land of Egypt.’”They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt.”

Note: Gnats are flying insects that can be biting in the house and through out the land. Imagine gnats on man and beast.

Fourth plague: The Lord sent swarms of flies on people and on ground.

Exo 8:21-22, “For if you do not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they dwell. But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are living, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that I, the LORD, am in the midst of the land.”

Note: What is the experience when flies compete with what you are going to eat, like falling into your soup?

Fifth plagues: God sent a very severe pestilence to kill Egyptian livestock.

Exo 9:3-4, “behold, the hand of the LORD will come with a very severe pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.”

Exo 9:6, “So the LORD did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.”

Note: Pestilence is a fatal epidemic disease which God sent to kill Egyptian livestock. Imagine mountains of dead livestock everywhere and the stinking smell of them.

Sixth plague: Boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.

Exo 9:8-10, “Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of soot from a kiln, and let Moses throw it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. “It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.” So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.”

Note: Boils are the painful sores turning white as pus collects under the skin and appear on the face, neck, armpits, shoulders, and buttocks. Now Egyptians feel the pain of boils.

Seventh plague: A very heavy hail and thunder came down to kill livestock and men.

Exo 9:18-19, “Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded until now. Now therefore send, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.”

Note: It must be a very heavy hail and thunder that kills livestock and men. My first experience of hail was during the funeral of President Nixon at Yorba Linda, in Orange County, hail and rain with thousands and thousands of people lining up to pay tribute to the great president. The hail was small and did not kill anyone.

Exo 9:23-24, “Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth. And the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt. So there was hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.”

Eighth plague: Locusts came and covered the surface of Egypt and ate every green in the field.

Exo 10:4-5, “For if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory.‘They shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one will be able to see the land. They will also eat the rest of what has escaped—what is left to you from the hail—and they will eat every tree which sprouts for you out of the field.”

Note: Locusts are large grasshoppers with strong powers of flight, and they migrate in vast swarms that can eat up crops and green plants. The swarms of locusts were so large that no one will be able to see the land.

Ninth plague: Thick darkness which can be felt covered Egypt.

Exo 10:21-23, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt.” So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.”

Note: Most people are afraid of darkness, it is a proof when massive power is out at night. Very few people have ever experienced thick darkness which can be felt. In my life time I have never heard of such thick darkness which can be felt happening anywhere.

Tenth plague: God killed the firstborn of the Pharaoh and all the firstborn even the cattle.

Exo 11:4-5, “Moses said, “Thus says the LORD, ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of the Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the millstones; all the firstborn of the cattle as well.”

Moses instituted the Passover. Exo 12:7-8, “And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.”

Exo 12:11-13, “And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”

Note: Passover is derived from the fact that when God sees the blood on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the Jewish houses, God will pass over them, and the plague shall not be upon them to destroy them. The Passover lamb symbolizes the Lamb of God who was sacrificed on our behalf. 1Co 5:7, “Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.” Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for our sins.

(H). Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, and God led them on the way.

Exo 13:19, “Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones from here with you.” Then they set out from Succoth and camped in Etham on the edge of the wilderness. The LORD was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.”

Note: So in the journey of the Christian to the celestial city, we need the Lord going before us, a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide us in the figure of speech. For Christians today, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit guide and lead us.

(I). God destroyed Pharaoh’s entire army, the people feared the Lord.

Exo 14:5-31, “When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?” So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him; and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he chased after the sons of Israel as the sons of Israel were going out boldly. Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. As Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD. Then they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness. But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land. As for Me, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen.” The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. The sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. At the morning watch, the LORD looked down on the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the army of the Egyptians into confusion. He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD is fighting for them against the Egyptians.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen.” So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even Pharaoh’s entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained. But the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. When Israel saw the great power which the LORD had used against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in His servant Moses.”

Note: Moses led the sons of Israel to go through the midst of the Red Sea on dry land is one of the greatest historical miracles, besides God destroyed or drowned Pharaoh’s entire army. Consequently, the Jewish people feared the Lord and believed in the Lord.

(J). Jethro brought Moses’ wife and her two sons to meet Moses at the mount of God.

Exo 18:1-12, “Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people, how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Moses’ wife Zipporah, after he had sent her away, and her two sons, of whom one was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.” The other was named Eliezer, for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.” Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was camped, at the mount of God. He sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her.” Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent. Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had befallen them on the journey, and how the LORD had delivered them. Jethro rejoiced over all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, in delivering them from the hand of the Egyptians. So Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD who delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh, and who delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods; indeed, it was proven when they dealt proudly against the people.” Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses’ father-in-law before God.”

Note: Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, was a great man in his own right. He made a declaration: “Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods.”

(K). Moses listened to his father-in-law and appointed heads and leaders in the legal system of court and government.

Exo 18:24-27, “So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did all that he had said. Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens. They judged the people at all times; the difficult dispute they would bring to Moses, but every minor dispute they themselves would judge. Then Moses bade his father-in-law farewell, and he went his way into his own land.”

Note: Jethro, Moses father-in-law, was a wise man. He could be properly called the forefather of modern management. Jethro understood management principles, especially the principle of delegation of authority and management effectiveness. Num 11:16-17, “The LORD therefore said to Moses, “Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.”

(L). Moses came up to receive the Ten Commandments (Decalogue).

Exo 24:12-18, “Now the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.” So Moses arose with Joshua his servant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. But to the elders he said, “Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a legal matter, let him approach them.” Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the LORD rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountain top. Moses entered the midst of the cloud as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.”

Note: The law of Moses are contained in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

Exo 34:28-35, “So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them. Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the LORD had spoken to him on Mount Sinai. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded, the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. So Moses would replace the veil over his face until he went in to speak with Him.”

Note: The life of Moses was sustained by the grace and power of God although he was with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. Moses the man of God, talking with God about the law, the face of Moses shone. How much more the Son of God who brought grace and truth, Mat 17:2, “And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.” Heb 3:1-3, “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house.” Heb 3:5-6, “Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; but Christ was faithful as the Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.”

Deu 33:1-2, “Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death. He said,
“The LORD came from Sinai,
And dawned on them from Seir;
He shone forth from Mount Paran,
And He came from the midst of ten thousand holy ones;
At His right hand there was flashing lightning for them.”

Gal 3:23-26, “But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

2Co 3:13-18, “and are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel would not look intently at the end of what was fading away. But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ. But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”

Note: The old covenant (the law) was fading away, the veil is removed in Christ. Christians are under grace, not under law. Whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away, Jhn 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

(M). Moses prayed to the glory of God, God showed him only His back.

Exo 33:17-23, “The LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.” Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” Then the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.”

Note: No man has ever seen God, not even Moses.

(N). God showed the pattern and told Moses to build the tabernacle.

Exo 40:33-38, “He erected the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the veil for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.”

Note: Throughout all the journeys of the sons of Israel, they followed the directions of the Lord. Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. The tabernacle was replaced by Solomon’s temple.

Heb 8:5, “who serve a copy and shadow of the Heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “SEE,” He says, “THAT YOU MAKE all things ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN.”

Heb 9:11-14, “But when Christ appeared as the High Priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

Note: Some scholars are so stupid to say that God is clean. God is far beyond clean, God is holy. Christ entered though the greater and more perfect tabernacle than that made by Moses. The Holy Place is not where clean people can enter. Through His own blood, Christ entered into the way of the Holiest of all, the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption for all believers in Christ, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Rev 21:1-5, “Then I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”

(O). God told Moses to lay his hand on Joshua and commission him as his successor.

Num 27:18-23, “So the LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him; and have him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and commission him in their sight.“ You shall put some of your authority on him, in order that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may obey him. Moreover, he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD. At his command they shall go out and at his command they shall come in, both he and the sons of Israel with him, even all the congregation.” Moses did just as the LORD commanded him; and he took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation. Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.”

Note: Joshua was chosen by God to succeed Moses because he was a man in whom is the Spirit. At the command of Joshua the congregation of the sons of Israel shall go out or come in and obey him.

(P). The Lord on the top of Pisgah showed Moses the Promised Land but Moses would not go over there.

Deu 34:1-8, “Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, and the Negev and the plain in the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. Then the LORD said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.” So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the Word of the LORD. And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day. Although Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated. So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.”

Note: Moses had remarkable health, when he died at 120 years old, his eye was not dim (he did not have cataract), nor his vigor abated. But Moses came to an end. No matter who you are, everybody sooner or later comes to an end. This serves as a warning to all dictators, warmongers, oppressors, imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, monopolists, militarists, supremacists, and terrorists. They all will soon come to an end.

Jde 1:9, “But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

Note: Why did the devil want the body of Moses? The devil does not have good intention. I cannot tell why the devil want the body of Moses. I think the devil can do many evil deeds with the body of Moses. For one, the devil may make the dead body of Moses as an object of worship, to seduce people to commit the sin of idolatry.

(Q). During the transfiguration of Jesus, Moses and Elijah, appearing in glory, were speaking about the departure or death of Jesus Christ.

Luk 9:28-36, “Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming. And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. And as these were leaving Him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles: one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—not realizing what he was saying. While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!” And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.”

Note: The crucifixion must be so important because that is subject Moses and Elijah were talking with Jesus. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross for the sin of mankind is one of the greatest events in the universe. When Peter was talking about making three tabernacles: one for Jesus, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; God seemed to be displeased and corrected him by saying, “This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!” God does not want disciples to listen to Moses or Elijah. God wants the whole world to listen to His Son, His Chose One, Jesus Christ. They saw no one but Jesus. Moses and Elijah are servants of God, Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We believers must fix our eyes on no one but Jesus Christ.

(R). The difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Jhn 1:17, “For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

In studying the Scriptures, I hold the position there is absolutely no need to quote Josephus, Apocrypha and other secular sources as if they are important to validate the Word of God. I think secular academics do so to display how much is their learning or knowledge. I think it is facetious and malicious to cite the pilgrim fathers of New England that the institutions that they founded to be ascribed to the influence of the Hebrew legislator Moses. Moses was the Hebrew lawgiver, not legislator. Don’t you know the historical fact that the White Europeans so-called pilgrim fathers not only they robbed the land of the original natives of America, they almost terminated the Red Indian race from the surface of the earth. Indeed in the last 500 years Europeans, and later Americans, have lied, killed, and robbed the whole world in the name of democracy, freedom, independence, human right, justice falsely so called. It is blasphemous to associate Christianity with Western nations or its corrupt civilization. Do you know American presidents and congressional leaders have killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world since the end of World War II and to this day?

It is wrong to say Moses had absolute rule over Israel. It is God who had and who has absolute rule over the universe.

(7). Stephen

Act 6:5-15, “The statement found approval with the whole congregation; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch. And these they brought before the apostles; and after praying, they laid their hands on them. The Word of God kept on spreading; and the number of the disciples continued to increase greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miracles among the people. But some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen. But they were unable to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking. Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God.” And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes, and they came up to him and dragged him away and brought him before the Council. They put forward false witnesses who said, “This man incessantly speaks against this holy place and the Law; for we have heard him say that this Nazarene, Jesus, will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed down to us.” And fixing their gaze on him, all who were sitting in the Council saw his face like the face of an angel.”

Note: The management of a church is based on to be found approval with the whole congregation. The greater in the faith lay hands on the lesser. The greater blesses the lesser, not the other way around. Stephen in Greek is Stephanos which means "crowned"; one of the seven deacons of the church in Jerusalem and the first Christian martyr; - which occurs 7 times in the New Testament. No one is able to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit of God. Stephen performed great wonders and miracles among the people. Wonders and miracles do not affect people who do not want to believe and who practice lawlessness and injustice.

These so-called freedmen, secretly induced men by collusion or bribery to bear false testimony against Stephen. The elders and the scribes were the establishment of the Jewish religion and yet they were corrupt and lawless. Often the religious or political establishment is the most corrupt and lawless one. America and Western nations that dominate and dictate the world are the most corrupt and lawless people in the world. In fact, the hypocrites always act in most hypocritical way. They dragged and brought Stephen to the Council or Sanhedrin, the high court of justice and supreme council in Jerusalem. The same today America and its allies employ illegal legislation, false witnesses, fake news, fake reports, false views, false legislation, fake laws, sanctions, etc. to interfere, target, oppress, violate, attack nations that do not follow their dictatorship or leadership. No matter how the wicked want to smear and soil the righteousness, Stephen had a face shining like that of an angel.

Act 7:2-60, “And he said, “Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and said to him, ‘LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR RELATIVES, AND COME INTO THE LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.’ Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living. But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and yet, even when he had no child, He promised that HE WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM AS A POSSESSION, AND TO HIS DESCENDANTS AFTER HIM. But God spoke to this effect, that his DESCENDANTS WOULD BE ALIENS IN A FOREIGN LAND, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ENSLAVED AND MISTREATED FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS. AND WHATEVER NATION TO WHICH THEY WILL BE IN BONDAGE I MYSELF WILL JUDGE,’ said God, ‘AND AFTER THAT THEY WILL COME OUT AND SERVE ME IN THIS PLACE.’ And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs. The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him, and rescued him from all his afflictions, and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he made him governor over Egypt and all his household. Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers could find no food. But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. On the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was disclosed to Pharaoh. Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all. And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died. From there they were removed to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem. But as the time of the promise was approaching which God had assured to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, until THERE AROSE ANOTHER KING OVER EGYPT WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT JOSEPH. It was he who took shrewd advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers so that they would expose their infants and they would not survive. It was at this time that Moses was born; and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father’s home. And after he had been set outside, Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and nurtured him as her own son. Moses was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and he was a man of power in words and deeds. But when he was approaching the age of forty, it entered his mind to visit his brethren, the sons of Israel. And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and took vengeance for the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian. And he supposed that his brethren understood that God was granting them deliverance through him, but they did not understand. On the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting together, and he tried to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren, why do you injure one another?’ But the one who was injuring his neighbor pushed him away, saying, ‘WHO MADE YOU A RULER AND JUDGE OVER US? ‘YOU DO NOT MEAN TO KILL ME AS YOU KILLED THE EGYPTIAN YESTERDAY, DO YOU?’ At this remark, MOSES FLED AND BECAME AN ALIEN IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN, where he became the father of two sons. After forty years had passed, AN ANGEL APPEARED TO HIM IN THE WILDERNESS OF MOUNT Sinai, IN THE FLAME OF A BURNING THORN BUSH. When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord: ‘I AM THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND JACOB.’ Moses shook with fear and would not venture to look. BUT THE LORD SAID TO HIM,‘TAKE OFF THE SANDALS FROM YOUR FEET, FOR THE PLACE ON WHICH YOU ARE STANDING IS HOLY GROUND. I HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN THE OPPRESSION OF MY PEOPLE IN EGYPT AND HAVE HEARD THEIR GROANS, AND I HAVE COME DOWN TO RESCUE THEM; COME NOW, AND I WILL SEND YOU TO EGYPT.’ This Moses whom they disowned, saying, ‘WHO MADE YOU A RULER AND A JUDGE?’ is the one whom God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the help of the angel. This man led them out, performing wonders and miracles in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years. This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN.’ This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness together with the angel who was speaking to him on Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers; and he received living oracles to pass on to you. Our fathers were unwilling to be obedient to him, but repudiated him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt, SAYING TO AARON, ‘MAKE FOR US GODS WHO WILL GO BEFORE US; FOR THIS MOSES WHO LED US OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT—WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.’ At that time they made a calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands. But God turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘IT WAS NOT TO ME THAT YOU OFFERED VICTIMS AND SACRIFICES FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, WAS IT, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL? YOU ALSO TOOK ALONG THE TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH AND THE STAR OF THE GOD ROMPHA, THE IMAGES WHICH YOU MADE TO WORSHIP. I ALSO WILL REMOVE YOU BEYOND BABYLON.’ Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, just as He who spoke to Moses directed him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen.“ And having received it in their turn, our fathers brought it in with Joshua upon dispossessing the nations whom God drove out before our fathers, until the time of David. David found favor in God’s sight, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. But it was Solomon who built a house for Him. However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says: ‘HEAVEN IS MY THRONE,
AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL OF MY FEET;
WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?’ says the Lord, ‘OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE? WAS IT NOT MY HAND WHICH MADE ALL THESE THINGS? You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did. Which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become; you who received the law as ordained by angels, and yet did not keep it. Now when they heard this, they were cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into Heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said, “Behold, I see the Heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse. When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul. They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.”

Note: In the beginning Stephen gave a most brilliant summary of the Jewish history from Abraham, to Joseph, to Moses, to Solomon, to the prophets. But when Stephen preached the sins of the Jews who have become betrayers and murderers, they were cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. Outbreak of sudden fit of rage with one impulse rushed at Stephen. When a preacher preaches against sins, he cannot expect a favorable response from the audience. That is why so many false preachers will speak what the audience like to hear, such as ‘something good is going to happen to you’. God will bless you with prosperity and you will do well in this world…’ That is why in the American history, no preacher ever dares to preach against the sins of American presidents and congressional leaders. Where are the American preachers who preach against the evil of imperialism, capitalism, interventionism, and militarism? Those who preach the truth hope to see the glory of God. Stephen was being full of the Holy Spirit, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. The false preachers preach peace and prosperity when there is no peace and prosperity. False preachers preach “I have a dream! I have a dream!” When there is nightmare, injustice, lawlessness, and unrighteousness, violence and blood covers the hands of the national leaders. The false preachers enjoy national popularity and prosperity on TV and at megachurches and they are invited to the White House. The preachers of truth and righteousness suffer national obscurity and poverty. The capitalism version of Christianity is deceiving and deluding America, Europe, and minuscule Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is most revealing that those who murdered Stephen cried out with a loud voice and covered their ears. The Western leaders who practice lies, killings, and robberies habitually and facetiously cry out in the global propaganda of democracy, freedom, independence, and other phony slogans, but they cover their ears to the truth and justice. We know nothing about the marriage status of Stephen or his children. Stephen is the protomartyr of the Christian Church. Apparently, Stephen was not married and did not have children. The martyrdom already sacrificed the life of Stephen, and it would be more devastating if he had wife and children. Paul is also believed to be single and having no children. Those who bear the brunt of the cross and sacrifice their lives for the Gospel would be better off not having family. Stephen courageously set as an example for countless Christians later on killed by the Roman Catholic Church, Islam, and other heresies and forces of darkness and evil.

III. THE COMMON FAITH

As faith is individual or personal, so the common Faith refers to the Faith that all Christians of all generations have in common, accepting and believing in the body of Christian dogmas and doctrines deemed essential and fundamental to the Faith which was once for all handed down to the saints by Jesus Christ and the Apostles from the beginning as it is written in the New Testament.

Act 3:16,“And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the Faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.”

Note: The Faith which we believe comes through Jesus Christ, not from Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Erasmus, Barth or Kierkegaard, etc. The body of beliefs which all Christians believe from the beginning is the Faith, not Roman Catholic theology, black theology, natural theology, Eastern Orthodox theology, liberal theology, Calvinism, moral theology, polemic theology, liberation theology, feminist theology, not even Protestant theology. There is no Protestant theology, or Lutheran theology; Protestantism is only an attempt to return to the Bible and original Christianity. So the Christian Faith is based absolutely on the Biblical theology, that is as it is written in the New Testament.

All Christians of all generations accept and believe the body of Faith common to all as a whole, usually it summarized in a creed. When church leaders and believes accept some and reject other doctrines, they turn at best into denominations, and at worst they turn into cults and heresies. Some denominations practice over emphasizing some aspects of doctrines, while some de-emphasizing other doctrines. All persons mentioned in the Bible were historical figures, and all places mentioned in the Bible were real geographical places, and all events took place written in the Bible were real historical events. The Word of God is true, and worthy of all acceptance. Let God be true, and man a liar -- particularly unbelieving scientists and theologians and philosophers.

It is wrong to say that Martin Luther agreed with the Catholic outlook far more than he differed from it. This is a revisionist view of the great Reformation. The Roman Catholic Church had strayed so far away from the Biblical Faith, that it can be considered as another religion, strange from Christianity. It is not what Luther accepted or not accepted that matters, it is the Faith that all believers from the beginning had believed that matters. It is what the Word of God says that matters. Protestantism is nothing but a total return to the original Christianity.

The secularists and unbelieving theologians without basis hypothesized that Paul got the Gospel from what was floating in the Jewish thought of his time; he adopted it because it balanced so naturally his theory of redemption. This is a lie comes right up from Hell to say the Gospel is so vague and universal sin is somewhat arbitrary. Gal 1:11-12, “For I would have you know, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:3-4, “And even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” The Gospel is neither vague nor veiled, only the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelieving, including secular academics, unbelieving scientists, theologians and philosophers. A ct 15:7, “After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the Gospel and believe” 1Pe 1:9, “obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.” Peter testified to the same Gospel as Paul did. 1Jo 5:4-6, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.” Paul, Peter, John and all the apostles of Jesus Christ testified to the same definite Gospel truth in Christ without compromise or retreat.

Mar 12:24, “Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?

Note: Regarding the Christian Faith, so many secular academics, theologians and philosophers are mistaken, because they do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. Because they do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God, so they distort, misrepresent, misinterpret, and mislead people to their destruction. Believing the Scriptures is not deliberate ignorance or intellectual dishonesty. Heb 3:12-14, “Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end.” Secularists and unbelieving theologians are departing from the living God because of their evil heart of unbelief, hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. They have been deceived by the sin of vain glory, guilty at times of undue pride, and belief in themselves. Only Christians are partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end. The devil’s scheme is to disrupt and destroy that confidence in the Scripture. Secularists and unbelieving philosophers and theologians have been catastrophically wrong in advocating their so-called science and reason that are retarding for centuries the advance of truth and integrity in the West. In the last 500 years or more the West, and later America, have done so much evil in the world under imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, white supremacism, and terrorism. The West and America worship money, power, and sex; not the God of Christianity.

Secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers demonstrate the indulgence of human pride and vanity of self-glorification. Reason is incompetent and incapable in the sphere of divine truth, and the knowledge of God. What is worst, they deliberately distort, misrepresent, and misinterpret the Word of God with their unbelief and bias, riddles and metaphors. Little they know that evil heart of unbelief will lead them to destruction and eternal death.

Tit 1:4, “To Titus, my true child in a common Faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.”

Note: If you have grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior, you are a child in the common Faith.

Jde 1:3, “Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the Faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.”

Note: The Faith refers to the doctrines and dogmas given that which all saints must believe; it is what we believe, it is Christianity itself. Our common salvation is the result of our common Faith in Christ which was once for all handed down to the saints. The Common Faith is that we sinners are all saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is the gift of God, not because of our efforts or work or merit.

The authority of the Bible is final and infallible and incorruptible. This is the Scripture. Jhn 10:35, “If he called them gods, to whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken).” To be broken in Greek is lyō which means to break up; to break down; to destroy; to dissolve; to put off; to dismiss; to annul; to subvert; to do away with; to deprive of authority; to overthrow; - which occurs 45 times in the New Testament. The Scripture cannot be dismissed or subverted or overthrown.

The Word of God does not depend on the interpretation of so-called reputable authorities. No man or institution can claim to be the reputable authority of the Bible. There are no reputable interpreters of the Bible. The Bible interprets and explains itself in the light of the Holy Spirit. Luk 11:34-36, “The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness. If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.” Eph 1:17-19, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might.” This is the truth of Christ. What Christians need is not any so-called reputable theologian or so-called authority to interpret the Bible. To have the knowledge of God, we need the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, and the eyes of our heart may be enlightened, so that we will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.

1Ti 5:8, “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the Faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

Note: If anyone claims to be a Christian and does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the Faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Here the Faith refers to Christianity, the Christian Faith. To believe in the Faith, you must act according to the Faith. Faith must express itself obedient to the Faith.

Rev 13:10, “If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the Faith of the saints.”

Note: To be destined is to be appointed by God. What God has destined, no one can escape. Destiny is an interesting concept. Let secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers ponder whether there is such a thing called destiny. In reality can anyone escape from his destiny? Has anyone ever avoided his destiny? There is a conceptual problem, if God destines or appoints, who can oppose the power of God? If God destines, where there is the free will? Can anyone decide or determine his own destiny? According to the Scripture, how a man dies is destined. If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the Faith of the saints. To the unbelievers they have no hope. For the saints require perseverance and the Faith. We put our faith and our destiny in the Lord’s hand, whatever God destines for His children will be good.

The Apostles’ Creed is a little misleading because it was not written by the apostles. Probably it was written soon after all the apostles had passed away. It is believed to be the oldest creed of the Christian church and is the basis that most Christians of all generations believe and follow. The Apostles’ Creed is not the Scripture, but it is a summary of the Christian Faith.

“I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy catholic Church, the Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen.”

The word “catholic” is also misleading because it does not mean the Roman Catholic Church; it relates to the universal invisible Church of Christ, which is the Body of Christ. The phrase, “He descended into hell,” was not part of the original creed form.

My modernized version of the Apostles’ Creed would be as follows:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy universal Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting. Amen.

IV. IF YOU HAVE FAITH

Faith is of utmost importance that it can determine your destiny.

(1). Faith can move mountain.

Mat 17:20, “And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”

Faith is power, for faith appropriates the power of God. The power of God can move mountain, remove all obstacles or hindrances. Nothing is impossible with faith, for nothing is impossible with God. Faith is not magic, faith is not superstition. God is pleased when anyone has faith in Him. The power of faith is the power of God. Problems in life are like mountain, but faith can move mountain.

(2). Faith can cast mountain into the sea.

Note: By faith you can cast your doubt into the sea.

(3). Perfect health on the basis of faith.

Act 3:16,“And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the Faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.”

Note: Pentecostal churches have a wrong emphasis on heath and on faith healing. The primary purpose of Jesus Christ coming into the world is to save souls, to heal the sick is secondary. No matter how healthy you are, you are going to die anyway. It is important for Christians to be concerned about health matters. Do not drink or smoke or use drugs, and do not eat unhealthy food. Do not practice sexual immorality. So that we can live long to serve the Lord. Christians get sick anyway. God can heal the sick. But it is not always God’s will to heal the sick. Christians can use doctors and medicine, but must acknowledge God in everything. Physicians also get sick and die. I do not have the gift of speaking in tongues, although I understand a few languages. I do not have the gift of healing, but God healed me many times and saved my life many times. I am upset by so many fake healings and fake healers practiced today. If God heals your blindness or paralysis, it should be good for life until you die. It is not possible for God to heal paralysis only temporarily.

(4). The righteousness of God comes on the basis of faith.

Phl 3:9, “and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.”

Note: The righteousness of God can only be obtained through faith in Jesus Christ, and there is no other way.

(5). Our hearts are cleansed by faith through the precious blood of Jesus.

Act 15:9, “and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.”

Note: The cleansing of our hearts is done by faith in Christ through the Holy Spirit. There is no holy water able to cleanse your heart.

(6). Believers are sanctified by faith in Christ through the Holy Spirit.

Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.”

Note: No ritual, no abstinence, no food, no celibacy, no meditation, no hermitage, no acetic practices, and nothing can sanctify you. Believers can be sanctified by faith in Christ through the Holy Spirit.

(7). The righteous shall live by faith.

Rom 1:17, “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Heb 10:38, “BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;
AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.”

Note: The righteous are those who are counted righteous by God. The righteous shall live by faith, not by sight, not by science, not by sex, not by sports, not by subsidy, etc. From faith to faith means completely by faith and nothing else.

(8). Man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

Rom 3:28, “For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.”

Rom 9:32, “Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.”

Gal 2:16, “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.” Gal 3:11, “Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Gal 3:24, “Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.”

Note: Man is justified (counted as righteous) by faith in Christ apart from works of the Law. No one can fulfil the requirements of the Law to earn the righteousness of God.

(9). God will justify the circumcised and the uncircumcised through faith.

Rom 3:30, “since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.”

Rom 9:30, “What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith.”

Gal 3:8, “The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU.”

Note: The circumcised are the Jews, and the uncircumcised are the Gentiles. God will justify both the Jews and the Gentiles by faith. There is no other way to God. Unrighteous men cannot approach God.

(10). You are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

Note: Salvation is a gift of God, according to His grace. To accept the gift of God you must have faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is the only way you are saved by grace and through faith in Christ, there is no other way.

(11). Having justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Rom 5:1, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Note: Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we are reconciled to God, and thus we have peace with God. For sinners are enemies of God.

(12). Through Christ by faith we obtained introduction to God.

Rom 5:2, “through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.”

Note: By faith in Jesus Christ, we are introduced to God by grace in which we stand, and we exult in hope of the glory of God.

(13). Believers walk by faith, not by sight.

2Co 5:7, “for we walk by faith, not by sight—”

Note: Christians cannot walk by science, by philosophy, by sight, or by human wisdom. We walk by faith following the steps in Jesus Christ.

(14). Christians live by faith in the Son of God.

Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

Note: A Christian life is the life to live by faith in the Son of God. Self-seeking is not the Christian life.

(15). The promise by faith in Jesus is given to those who believe.

Gal 3:22, “But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”

Note: The promise by faith in Jesus Christ is eternal life and eternal inheritance in Heaven.

(16). Through the Spirit, by faith, Christians are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Gal 5:5, “For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.”

Note: The hope of righteousness is the hope of the redemption of our body, the hope in Christ to the praise of His Glory, the hope of His calling what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints laid up for us in Heaven, the hope of glory and the hope of eternal life.

(17). Preach the Gospel is to further the administration of God by faith.

1Ti 1:4, “nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.”

Note: By preaching the Gospel, Christians everywhere can further the administration of God which is by faith.

(18). Hearing the good news must be united by faith.

Heb 4:2, “For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.”

Note: To profit those who hear the good news preached to them, the word must be united by faith in those who heard.

(19). By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God.

Heb 11:3, “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

Note: By faith we understand the worlds were created by the Word of God, seeing things which are not visible.

(20). By faith Abel, though dead, he still speaks.

Heb 11:4, “By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.”

Note: By faith though the righteous is dead, yet his work speaks.

(21). By faith Enoch was taken up because he was pleasing to God.

Heb 11:5, “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.”

Note: Only by faith can a man be pleasing to God.

(22). By faith Noah, became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Heb 11:7, “By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.”

Note: By faith Noah was being warned by God about things not yet seen. Noah became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

(23). By faith Abraham obeyed, and he went out not knowing where he was going.

Heb 11:8, “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.”

Note: Abraham in obedience of faith went out, not knowing where he was going.

(24). By faith Abraham lived in tents, waiting for the mansions above.

Heb 11:9, “By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise.”

Note: By faith Abraham lived as an alien in tents because he was looking for a better country in Heaven.

(25). By faith Sarah beyond the proper time of life, received ability to conceive.

Heb 11:11, “By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.”

Note: By faith Sarah an old lady beyond the proper time of life, received ability to conceive and bore a son of promise. Gen 17:17, “Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to a man one hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” By faith, Sarah did.

(26). By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac.

Heb 11:17, “By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son.”

Note: By faith Abraham was willing to offer up Isaac. Abraham did not keep anything left for himself. He obeyed God 100%.

(27). By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

Heb 11:20, “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.”

Note: By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau regarding things to come.

(28). By faith Jacob when dying blessed his 12 sons.

Heb 11:21, “By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.”

Note: By faith Jacob when dying blessed his 12 sons and grandsons.

(29). By faith Joseph when dying, mentioned the exodus and gave orders concerning his bones.

Heb 11:22, “By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.”

Note: By faith Joseph gave order concerning his bones.

(30). By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for 3 months by his parents, not afraid of the king’s edict.

Heb 11:23, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict.”

Note: By faith parents of Moses were not afraid of the king’s edict.

(31). By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

Heb 11:24, “By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.”

Note: Most people would seek somehow to connect or relate to the king or the rich and powerful, but by faith Moses refused to be called the son of the princess of Pharaoh. Pharaoh was an absolute monarch with wealth and power no current kings and queens could match.

(32). By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king.

Heb 11:27, “By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.”

Note: By faith Moses feared God, left Egypt and not fearing the wrath of the king.

(33). By faith Moses kept the Passover to save the firstborn of the Jews.

Heb 11:28, “By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.”

Note: By faith Moses kept the Passover so that he who destroyed the firstborn of Egyptians would not touch the sons of Israel.

(34). By faith the sons of Israel passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land.

Heb 11:29, “By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.”

Note: By faith the sons of Israel passed through the Red Sea, this is one of historical greatest miracles of God.

(35). By faith the walls of Jericho fell down as God said.

Heb 11:30, “By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.”

Note: By faith the walls of Jericho fell down. By faith the walls of obstruction in our lives may fall down too.

(36). By faith Rahab and her family were saved.

Heb 11:31, “By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.”

Note: Although prostitutes are the lowest of females, yet by faith Rahab the harlot and her family were saved. So prostitutes can be saved if they give up greed for money, repent and believe in Jesus Christ.

(37). Who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions.

Heb 11:33, “who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions.”

Note: There is no tension between the power of God and anyone or anything. No one and nothing can stand in the way of God. Faith is not what you wish it considered just as astronomy or chemistry is. There are two kinds of knowledge, human and divine, which in themselves clear enough. Human knowledge is a result of reason and research. For example, astronomy or chemistry. However, human knowledge cannot go beyond the visible and natural and temporal. Divine knowledge is the knowledge of God, spiritual, supernatural, infinite and eternal unaided by the light of reason and nature. It is impossible by human means to discover God and to have knowledge of God. The knowledge of God can only be achieved by revelation through faith. Some objected a revealed knowledge of God as arbitrary. Yes, God is absolute, supreme, and ultimate, Self-Existent and Eternal. God is not negotiable. Truth is not negotiable. What is misleading can never be truth. The longer I live, the more I know, the more I hear and see, the less I have confidence in humanity and human institutions, or products of human efforts, science and philosophy. Let God be found true, though every man be found a liar. It does not matter what Hume, Kant, Aristotle, Karl Barth, Plato, Einstein, Darwin, Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, etc. all dead persons had said. I know my Redeemer lives forever. So I have unequivocally complete faith in the absolute, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Creator and Ruler of the universe, the eternal Almighty God. That is one of the reasons I write this article so that you may believe in God and Jesus Christ our Lord.

V. WHAT OR WHO TO BELIEVE

(A). God

Jhn 14:1, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.”

Heb 6:1, “Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.”

Note: God is Who He Is, the Creator and the Ruler of the universe. No man, no one can question the ultimate authority of God. Man’s duty is to believe, bow, listen and worship God. Whatever God does is right because He does it, and hence it is right whatever it is. To believe in God is to have faith toward God. This is the first principle. To have faith toward God, you cannot have faith toward anyone, any religion, any institution, any tradition, any custom, any system, any ideology, anything. God is supreme. If you put anything or anyone in the place of God, it becomes your idol or false god. In America, only primitive immigrants worship idols, but most Americans worship money, power, and sex. Whatever you put in the place of God, it becomes an idol or false god. The Bible does not say believe in theology, for theology is made by men. There are different types of theology which is flawed and misleading. The only correct is Biblical Theology. Only the Word of God is absolute and infallible.

Psa 78:22, “Because they did not believe in God
And did not trust in His salvation.”

Note: To believe in God is of paramount importance because those who disbelieve God trying to call God a liar. Unbelief insults God. Faith in God is not the acceptance of a proposition, faith in God is the full acceptance of His Word. Faith is the act of believing, trusting in God. God is the Creator and the Ruler of the universe. Before time and space God is. God is Who He Is. God declares, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ It is fundamental to have faith in God, it is impossible to come to God without believing He is. To believe in God means to trust in His salvation.

God is faithful and worthy of worship, it presents no difficulty whether majority of scientists, scholastics, theologians and philosophers believe or not. There is no such a thing called the natural knowledge of God. Rom 11:33, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” No one can discover the knowledge of God except by revelation. Mar 12:27, “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.” It is pathetic to find scholars and scientists who are greatly mistaken and they do not even know it. God does not need anyone to demonstrate His existence more than the Sun needs the blind to prove its existence. God is not a first cause. Rev 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” After all scholars, scientists, theologians and philosophers are dead and buried a priori or a posteriori, God is and God will be forever and ever.

Rev 4:8-11, “And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.” And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”

Note: Sinful men have no idea what it means “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.” The will of God is supreme, even nuclear weapons cannot destroy it.

Psa 78:32, “In spite of all this they still sinned
And did not believe in His wonderful works.

Note: To believe in God also believe in His wonderful works. The wonderful works of God are written in the Holy Bible.

It is absurd and abhorrent for a sinful and immoral man to question God is good in what sense. It is worse than an elementary student asking how good is Einstein in mathematics. Mat 19:17, “And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” Good in Greek is agathos which means that which is good; the thing which is good; excellent; distinguished; upright; honorable; benevolent; kind; generous; beneficent; free of evil; - which occurs 128 times in the New Testament. The goodness of God is beyond the scope of this article. Suffice it to say God is the only One who is good. Mar 10:17-18, “As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.” What is good or not is in the sight of God. If it is in the sight of God it is good, it is good. If in the sight of God it is evil, it is evil. Jesus definitely says, “No one is good except God alone.”

Rom 3:12, “ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”

Note: This is the verdict of God, There is none who does good, there is not even one. The problem of secularists, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers is the fact they think they are good for something. In the sight of God, all are good for nothing.

Rom 7:18, “For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.”

Note: Even the great Apostle Paul admits that he knows that nothing good dwells in him, that is, in his flesh. This is the correct view, this is the truth about man, all men and women and children.

3Jo 1:11, “Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.”

Note: The one who does good is of God. On the contrary, secularists want to philosophize that there is good in themselves. For Christians who imitate what is good, and if there is any good it is not of themselves, it is of God. God is the fountain of all goodness.

Psa 106:24, “Then they despised the pleasant land;
They did not believe in His Word.”

Note: To believe in God is to believe in His Word. The Holy Bible is the Word of God (written), and Jesus Christ is the Word of God (living).

Psa 119:66, “Teach me good discernment and knowledge,
For I believe in Your commandments.”

Note: To believe in God is to believe in His commandments.

2Co 1:20, “For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.”

Note: To believe in God is to believe in the promises of God. The promises of God are yes and true.

Eph 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Note: To believe in God is to believe salvation by grace through faith is the gift of God; not as a result of works or merits. No one is deserved to be saved, it is by grace you have been saved through faith in Christ.

Deu 32:51, “because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel.”

Num 27:14, “for in the wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to treat Me as holy before their eyes at the water.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

Num 20:1-13, “Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people stayed at Kadesh. Now Miriam died there and was buried there. There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron. The people thus contended with Moses and spoke, saying, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the LORD! Why then have you brought the LORD’S assembly into this wilderness, for us and our beasts to die here? Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us in to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there water to drink.” Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them; and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink.” So Moses took the rod from before the LORD, just as He had commanded him; and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, “Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?” Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank. But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” Those were the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with the LORD, and He proved Himself holy among them.”

Note: This is no small matter. To obey the command of the Lord and to treat the Lord as holy is never a small matter. Let us tremble before the Lord. Let me always treat the Lord as holy in my sight. The Lord told Moses to speak to the rock before the eyes of the Lord’s assembly, that it may yield its water. What a terrible thing that Moses struck the rock twice with his rod. Thus Moses had not believed the Lord, to treat the Lord as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel. For this reason, the Lord did not allow him to enter the Promised Land.

Deu 32:51-52, “because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel.”

Note: May God help us under no circumstances to break faith with the Lord, or not to treat Him as holy.

(B). Christ

Jhn 20:31, “but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.”

Note: It is not enough to believe in God, to believe in God you must also believe in Christ as God commanded. To believe in Christ is to believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you have life in His name. To have life in the name of Jesus Christ is to have eternal life.

Rom 3:9, “What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin.”

Note: In the sight of God, there is no one group of heathen better than another group of heathen. There is no one group of sinners better than another group of sinners. The heathen can never in their own way rely upon divine grace, it means the unsaved no matter who they are in no way less heathen, poor and utterly lost. There is absolutely nothing in a lost sinner that deserves any grace from God. There is no any other way, indigenous or meritorious, than the way of Christ to God. Both Jews and Gentiles, including Karl Barth, Emil Brunner, etc. are all under sin.

Jhn 1:18, “No one has ever seen God. The one and only Son, who is himself God and is at the Father’s side —He has revealed Him.”

Note: Do not let anyone fool you. No one has ever seen God, not even Moses. Jesus Christ the only begotten of God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed and explained Him. To know Jesus Christ is to know God. To see Jesus Christ is to see God.

Only one thing is really decisive for the distinction of truth and falsehood, it is not providential disposition. That one thing is the truth in Christ. Rom 9:1, “I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit.” The truth in Christ is testified by the Holy Spirit. A whole range of other religions do not have the truth in Christ nor the testimony of the Holy Spirit. It is a false teacher who places Christianity on a par with all pagan religions devoid of divine revelation. Without doubt, the revelation of God's righteousness in Christ is the Truth, the only Truth, without whom no man comes to the Father.

Act 8:37, “[And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”]

Note: To believe in Christ is to believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Gal 2:16, “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.”

Note: A man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ. No flesh will be justified by the works of the Law.

Rom 3:22, “even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.”

Note: To believe in Christ is to believe the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is a gift of God for all those who believe; for there is no distinction whether you are a Jew or Gentile, male or female.

Rom 6:8, “Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him.”

Note: To believe in Christ is to believe we have died with Christ to sin and the world, we believe that we shall also live with Him for eternity.

Gal 3:22, “But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”

Note: To believe in Christ is to believe that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. These are the promises of God to Abraham, and believers are heirs according to promise.

1Ti 1:16, “Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.”

Note: To believe in Christ is to find mercy, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

1Jo 3:23, “This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.”

Note: This is the commandment of God that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. There is a religion that claims to believe in God but does not believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, that religion disobeys the commandment of God, and so it is a false religion. To believe in Christ is to obey the commandment of God, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. It is impossible for anyone who claims to a Christian and yet he lies, kills and robs. It is impossible for Christians to be warmongers, oppressors, aggressors and terrorists. Christians love one another as Christ has commanded.

Heb 12:2, “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Note: To believe in Christ is to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith. The Christian faith does not fix our eyes on anyone else or anything.

Phm 1:5, “because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints.”

Note: If you have faith toward the Lord Jesus, you will also love Him and love toward all the saints.

(C). The Gospel

The Gospel is the message of good news from God to mankind. This is what you must do with the Gospel of God.

(1). Repent and believe in the Gospel.

Mar 1:15, “and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.”

Note: To believe in God and to believe in Christ is to repent and believe in the Gospel. Only Christianity has the Gospel (good news), and no other religion has gospel. When Christians gather we always sing praises to the Lord, in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with our hearts to the Lord; singing with thankfulness in our hearts to God. When I was a boy, I did not like Buddhist temples because people inside moaned and groaned. Surprisingly, today Buddhist temples have people singing imitating Christian churches.

(2). Believe the Gospel so that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus.

Act 15:7-11, “After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the Word of the Gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.”

Note: To believe in the Gospel is to believe the Word of the Gospel, receiving the Holy Spirit for cleansing our hearts by faith, and to be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus.

Rom 10:8, “But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the Word of faith which we are preaching.”

Note: The Gospel is the Word of faith. If you have faith in Jesus Christ, the Gospel becomes the power of God for your salvation.

(3). The essence of the Gospel ministry of Jesus.

Mat 11:5, “the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.”

Note: The poor have the Gospel preached to them. When Christ preached the Gospel on earth, the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up.

Luk 4:18, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED.”

Note: This is the prophesy fulfilled in Jesus Christ anointed to preach the Gospel to the poor and to save the souls of sinners.

Luk 7:22, “And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.”

Note: This statement cited above is a concise summary of the ministry of Jesus on earth.

(4). The Gospel must be preached in the whole world before the end will come.

Mat 24:14, “This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end of the world will come. My websites through the Internet are intended to preach the Gospel in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations absolutely free.

(5). The Gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

Mar 13:10, “The Gospel must first be preached to all the nations.”

Note: To preach the Gospel to all the nations is the first task for the Church to do. It is not social work. It is the duty of Christians to preach the Gospel to all nations.

(6). Jesus Christ commanded disciples to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.

Mar 16:15, “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.”

Note: During the Ascension, the Lord Jesus commanded and commissioned all disciples to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation. The primary task of the Church is to preach the Gospel to all creation, not social work, not charity work, not any other work.

(7). To believe in the Gospel is to turn from idols to the living God.

Act 14:15, “and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the Gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.”

Note: To preach the Gospel is to call people turn from idolatry (idols are vain things) to the living God who made the universe. There are many kinds of idols, not only those made of stones, wood, and metal. Some Taiwanese politicians claim to be Christians and yet they publicly burn incense and worship idols broadcast on TV. They are fake and false believers. No one who worships the vain things can be called a Christian. In America only primitive immigrants worship idols made of hands. But most Americans worship money, power, and sex as their idols.

(8). To testify solemnly of the Gospel of the grace of God is more important than our lives.

Act 20:24, “But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the Gospel of the grace of God.”

Note: True servants of Christ like Apostle Paul do not consider their lives of any accounts as dear to themselves, so that they may finish their course and the ministry which they receive from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the Gospel of the grace of God. The Gospel is about the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ that men may be saved.

(9). To believe in the Gospel is to believe in the Gospel of His Son.

Rom 1:9, “For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the Gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you.”

Note: Why the present-day unbelieving theologians regard the Gospel of John as the least reliable of the gospels facetiously, because its clear central message is Jesus Christ the Son of God. It is in this Gospel Jesus Christ declares to the world, Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” It is also in this Gospel the purpose is clear, Jhn 20:30-31, “Therefore many other miracles Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” When I was a lad, an American professor advised me to read the Gospel of John 100 times, and study the Book of Romans 100 times. My understanding of the Faith is invariably endowed and enhanced by my study especially of the Gospel of John and and the Book of Romans. Let me tell you the enemies of the cross especially hate these two books of the Bible.

(10). The Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

Rom 1:16, “ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.”

Note: A secular academics incredibly and incoherently said, “it is one thing to call him a sinner when he has actually sinned, and another thing to call him a sinner because he is capable of sinning. For man is capable also of noble deeds, of self-sacrifice and heroism; yet one would not call him a saint or a hero until his deeds have actually merited such an appellation. There is no reason why this moral plasticity of man… should be equated with sin rather than with virtue.” This worldly scholar seems to say he is not a sinner, and he has not sinned. Rather he can be equated with virtue. How do I debate with a man so blind that he cannot see the fact of sins, crimes and evil committed by men everyday. He is even oblivious to the historical facts of how European nations and America have done so much evil in the world, lying, killing, and robbing to this day. He seems to be oblivious to the atrocities and wickedness of World War I and World War II, not to say the coming nuclear war that will destroy the world. If man is so virtuous and noble by nature, which world is he living in, why do we face with so many problems and so much evil and wickedness in this world anyway? I have no problems with people doing good and doing right. The problem is the evil man who does evil daily and continuously and deliberately. Just take a look of Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security complex and Islamic terrorists what they are doing. Jesus Christ says, Mat 12:33-37, “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

No man will die because of Adam’s sin or the original sin. No one will die or be judged for involuntary sin. Jesus says emphatically, Jhn 8:24, “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Don’t worry about Adam’s sin, worry about your own sins. You will not die because of Adam’s sin or the original sin. Jesus says you will die in your sins. Unless you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of Mankind, you will die in your sins. Rom 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The funny part is that secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers think they are the exception, they have not sinned. Since they have not sinned, let us watch and see if they will die. You will have the answer.

(11). According to the Gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

Rom 2:16, “on the day when, according to my Gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.”

Note: This is very significant, God also knows the secrets of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers which no one knows; God will judge them through Jesus Christ. I am not interested in the secrets of any man.

(12). The Gospel is the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.

Rom 16:25, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.”

Note: The Gospel is not made by man, it is the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.

(13). To preach the Gospel not in cleverness of speech.

1Co 1:17, “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.”

Note: To preach the Gospel is to preach Jesus Christ who died for our sins on the cross, not in cleverness of speech. I recall a prosperity gospel preacher who invented a series of cleverness of speech, such as ‘something good is going to happen to you.’

(14). Preachers endure all things so that they cause no hindrance to the Gospel of Christ.

1Co 9:12, “If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the Gospel of Christ.”

Note: Anyone is accursed if she causes hindrance to the Gospel of Christ. Instead Christians must endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the Gospel of Christ. In the last 500 years Western nations (later America) have lied, killed, robbed, and attacked nations in Asia, Latin America and Africa and pretend to be Christians, indeed they cause hindrance to the Gospel of Christ. The history of Western (Europe and America) powers is the history of aggression, atrocities, cruelties, brutalities, exploitation, oppression, suppression, subjugation, injustice, and destruction.

(15). Offer the Gospel without charge.

1Co 9:18, “What then is my reward? That, when I preach the Gospel, I may offer the Gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the Gospel.”

Note: On the Internet I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation, we only want you to know the truth.

(16). Do all things for the sake of the Gospel.

Co 9:23, “I do all things for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.”

Note: True servants of Christ do all things for the sake the Gospel. Many preachers today do all things for the sake of money.

(17). Unbelievers are blinded and they might see the light of the Gospel.

2Co 4:4, “in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

Note: The god of this world is the devil. The devil blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ. Christ is the image of God. That is the reason secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers do not believe because their minds have been blinded by the god of this world. Not only they do not know the god of this world has blinded their minds, on the contrary they think they have brilliant minds.

(18). Any man is preaching another gospel is to be accursed.

Gal 1:7-9, “which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the Gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from Heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!”

Note: There are deceivers who distort the Gospel of Christ, including secular academics and unbelieving theologians. There is one true Gospel of Jesus Christ. If any man or even an angel who is preaching a different gospel, contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he is to be accursed, he is to be damned.

(19). The Gospel of your salvation is the message of truth.

Eph 1:13-14, “In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the Gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.”

Note: The Gospel of our salvation is the message of truth, sealed in God with the Holy Spirit of promise, given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory. Poor thing, secularists, philosophers, scientists and unbelieving theologians could not recognize the message of truth.

(20). The Gospel is revealed as the mystery of Christ.

Eph 3:3-6, “that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief. By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.”

Note: The Gospel is the revealed mystery of Christ, to be specific, that the Gentile believers are fellow heirs and fellow members of the Body of Christ, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus. The mystery of Christ is beyond comprehension of secularists, scientists, philosophers, and unbelieving theologians who consider it contrary to the rational thought.

(21). Christ is the mystery of the Gospel.

Eph 6:19, “and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel.”

Note: Christ is the mystery of the Gospel, which was not made known to the sons of men in ages past, now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; that whoever believes in the Son of God may receive the eternal life.

(22). Christians must conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ.

Phl 1:27, “Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the Faith of the Gospel.”

Note: Believers only conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the Faith of the Gospel.

(23). True believers share the struggle in the cause of the Gospel.

Phl 4:3, “Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the Gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.”

Note: True believers share the struggle in the cause of the Gospel, their names are in the Book of Life. Since my websites have become globally known, it is funny there are many men suddenly appear on the Internet with their pictures as Willie Wong. Once I found a Chinese woman who even called herself Willie Wong with her picture on her website quoting my writings verbatim. Because I never put my picture on the Internet, she might not know that Willie Wong is a man. Could there be any problem since there are so many Willie Wong(s), which one whose name is written in the Book of Life? No problem at all. My Heavenly Father has known and called me before the foundation of the world, so God only knows which one is the Willie Wong, whose name is in the Book of Life. Just like there are millions of Paul in the history of the world, there is only one Apostle Paul whose name is on the wall of the Holy City twelve foundation stones, Paul is one of the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

(24). The Gospel is the Word of truth.

Col 1:5, “because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the Word of truth, the Gospel.”

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Christian Gospel is the Word of truth. It is worthy for all to accept and believe.

(25). The Gospel comes in power and in the Holy Spirit.

1Th 1:5, “for our Gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.”

Note: The Gospel is not in word only, it is also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction to those who believe. The power of God and the Holy Spirit changes liars, thieves, robbers, murderers, prostitutes, crooks and criminals, the worst of sinners.

(26). Those who do not know God and do not obey the Gospel will pay the penalty of eternal destruction.

2Th 1:8-10, “dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—for our testimony to you was believed.”

Note: I do not know why secularists, scientists, philosophers, and unbelieving theologians are so stubborn in refusing and disobeying the Gospel, don’t they know the penalty is eternal destruction?

(27). True ministers of Christ are not ashamed to join in suffering for the Gospel.

2Ti 1:8, “Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the Gospel according to the power of God.”

Note: True servants of Christ are not ashamed to join in suffering for the Gospel. Funny it is that prosperity gospel preachers and followers not only they do not suffer for the Gospel, they want to get rich and become popular in this world.

(28). Our Savior Christ Jesus appeared to bring life and immortality to light through the Gospel.

2Ti 1:10, “but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel.”

Note: To believe in the Gospel is to believe in the Savior Jesus Christ who gives you life and immortality.

(29). The Gospel is the fact Jesus Christ dies and rose from the dead.

2Ti 2:8, “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my Gospel.”

Note: The complete Gospel is that Jesus Christ our Savior came down from Heaven to die on the cross for sinners, the Righteous for the unrighteous; and the third day Jesus Christ rose from the dead to justify all who believe in Him, to receive the forgiveness of sins, and by grace to be counted as righteousness in the sight of God. We are saved by grace though faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is the gift of God, not our work.

(30). The Gospel preached by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven.

1Pe 1:12, “ It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven—things into which angels long to look.”

Note: Jesus proclaimed the Gospel while He was on earth. Jesus returned to Heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel through the apostles and disciples. Gospel is the most interesting things into which angels long to look.

(31). Hear the Word of the Gospel and believe.

Act 15:7, “After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the Word of the Gospel and believe.”

Note: Those who the Word of the Gospel must believe.

(32). Judgment is for those who do not obey the Gospel of God.

1Pe 4:17, “For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the Gospel of God?”

Note: The judgment to come will begin with the household of God. The outcome for those who do not obey the Gospel of God will be more devastating. But there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The Gospel is preached all over the world, but people must believe and obey the Gospel.

(D). The Prophets

Act 26:27, “King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you do.”

Note: Christians believe the Prophets of the Lord as it is written in the Bible.

2Ch 20:20, “They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the LORD your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.”

Note: In old times, the children of Israel were admonished to put their trust in God’s prophets and succeed.

Jer 29:19, “because they have not listened to My words,' declares the LORD, ‘which I sent to them again and again by My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,' declares the LORD.”

Note: God called His prophets His servants. To listen the prophets of the Lord is to listen to God’s words.

Jer 35:15, “Also I have sent to you all My servants the prophets, sending them again and again, saying: ‘Turn now every man from his evil way and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to worship them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your forefathers; but you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me.”

Note: God had sent all His servants the prophets again and again, saying: Turn now every man from his evil way and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to worship them. The sons of Israel had not inclined their ears or listened to God.

Dan 9:10, “nor have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His teachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets.”

Note: The teachings of God were set before the Jews through His servants the prophets, yet they had not obeyed the voice of the Lord.

Amo 3:7, “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets.”

Note: Why do we believe the prophets? Because in old time the Lord God did nothing unless He revealed His secret counsel to His servants the prophets.

Mat 2:23, “and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Note: What were spoken through the prophets about Jesus were fulfilled.

Mat 5:12,“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Note: Jesus says that Christians will be persecuted in the same way the prophets were persecuted.

Mat 5:17,“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”

Note: This is the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament: Jesus Christ did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, He came to fulfill them. The Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament. Judaism is fulfilled in Christianity.

Luk 6:31, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

Note: This is one of the most famous and precious teachings of Jesus Christ, later known as the Golden Rule.

Mat 7:12, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

Note: Jesus Christ sums up the Law and the Prophets: In everything treat people the same way you want them to treat you. Do to others as you would have them do to you. This simple but profound doctrine remembers and resonates through the ages. The truth of Christ is not an abstracted conception of logic, it is the moral precept of everyday Christian practice. Warmongers, aggressors, dictators, oppressors, troublemakers, imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, monopolists, supremacists, militarists, and terrorist practice exactly the opposite of Christ’s teachings.

Mat 7:15, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

Note: Western aggressors and warmongers are just like false prophets, who come to the international forum in sheep’s clothing, and pretending to advocate democracy, freedom, independence, equality, justice, etc. but inwardly and outwardly they are worse than ravenous wolves, because they lie, kill, and rob without shame.

Mat 24:11, “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.”

Note: Jesus predicts that in the last days many false prophets will arise and mislead many. Just in the United States alone how many false prophets there are. The work of false prophets is to mislead many. False prophets mislead many to depart from the faith. False Western political leaders use democracy, freedom, independence, justice, etc. to deceive and violate and attack other nations. Western media daily and habitually mislead the world with fake news, fake reports, fake views, falsehoods, and spread lies without shame.

Mat 24:24, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great miracles and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”

Note: What is worse is the fact that false Christs and false prophets will show great miracles and wonders to mislead many. There are fake miracles and fake wonders to mislead believers. There are innumerable fake things in the world today, who ever thought of fake miracles and fake wonders!

Luk 1:70, “ As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old—”

Note: Rarely God spoke to individual like Abraham. God spoke to Moses face to face. Usually God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old. For this reason, what holy prophets spoke in the name of God are the Word of God. Therefore, Christians believe in the books of prophets in the Old Testament. Prophets are spokesmen of God. However, there are no longer prophets of old like those in the Old Testament. The Old Testament is completed. There are also no prophets of the New Testament, for the revelation of Jesus Christ in the New Testament is also completed. Since the deaths of the apostles and elders, there has not been a new prophet. For it is not possible for a new prophet to add anything to the completed revelation of the New Testament. Since then New Testament prophets are not the servants of Christ who predict things to come. The New Testaments prophets now are those who are filled of the Holy Spirit and who are equipped to explain, expound, and preach the Word of God and the truth of the Gospel in power with great results. In my lifetime I have not known any servant of Christ who can be qualified to be called a New Testament prophet. There are some evangelists and preachers and Bible scholars known in these last days. We need to pray for servants of Christ who are able to preach the Word in great power and with great results. You will not find them in American mega-churches or on TV. Sadly although I have known a great number of preachers worldwide, I cannot name one who was or who is filled with the Holy Spirit with great power. What you can find are so many false prophets and false preachers today.

Luk 18:31, “Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.”

Note: Everything written through the prophets in the Old Testament about the Son of God had been accomplished. The only thing that has not been fulfilled is the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead, to reign with the saints in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Luk 24:27, “Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.”

Note: The most revealing and enlightening was the fact that Jesus Christ beginning with Moses and with all the prophets explained to disciples the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures (the Old Testament).

Jhn 1:45, “Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

Note: Whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote is Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God. The central message of the Holy Bible (both the Old and New Testaments) is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world.

Act 3:18, “But the things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.”

Note: The things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets concerning the sufferings of Christ had been fulfilled. Remember, prophecy is always announced beforehand, before things happen. When things happened according to prophecy they become history. In America there have been many false prophets who made big money prophesying the date of the second coming of Christ. False prophecy never comes true, and these false prophets have no shame to again and again make false prophecy for money. So many gullible and ignorant Americans believed and gave false prophets large sums of money and their properties.

Act 10:43, “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

Note: This prophecy is still true, of Jesus Christ all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Jesus Christ receives forgiveness of sins. Although I am no prophet, I also bear witness through my websites that all who believe in Christ will be saved by grace. For that reason we preach the Gospel absolutely free. We do not want donation, we only want you to know the truth.

Act 15:15-18, “With this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, ‘AFTER THESE THINGS I will return,
AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN,
AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS,
AND I WILL RESTORE IT, SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD,
AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,’SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO.”

Note: The words of all the Prophets agree, the Gospel of God has been revealed in Jesus Christ, whosoever believes in Him receive eternal life.

Act 24:14, “But this I admit to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect I do serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets.”

Note: The Way, the Christian Way, Jesus Christ the Way to God is everything in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets. There is no other way.

Rom 1:1-5, “Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake.”

Note: The Gospel of God was promised beforehand through the prophets of God in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord. Those who received grace also brought about the obedience of faith. Faith always leads to obedience of faith. If you have faith in Christ, you obey Christ and follow Him.

Rom 16:26, “but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith.”

Note: The commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations by the Scriptures of the prophets, leading all believers to obedience of faith to Jesus Christ. Faith is obedience to Jesus Christ.

Heb 1:1-2, “God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.”

Note: God spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways (the Old Testament). In these last days God has spoken to the world in His Son Jesus Christ. When Jesus Christ speaks God speaks. So the Word of Christ is far more important than the prophets because it is the last, absolute, and ultimate.

2Pe 3:2, “that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.”

Note: The Word of God was spoken beforehand by the holy prophets, in these last days concluded by Jesus Christ, and what the Lord and Savior spoken by His apostles. So the Old Testament is the Word of God. Not only the Gospels, the whole New Testament is the Word of God. That is the meaning we believe in the holy prophets and apostles. Jhn 20:31, “but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” 2Ti 3:15, “and that from childhood you have known the Sacred Writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

In summary, we believe in God, we believe in Christ, we believe in the Gospel, and we believe the holy prophets in the Holy Scriptures (the Sacred Writings) which give wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

VI. THROUGH FAITH

(1). Receive forgiveness of sins.

Act 10:43, “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.”

Note: This is the good news that sinners and everyone who believers in Jesus Christ receives forgiveness of sins. You cannot pay money to get forgiveness of your sins. You cannot do the work of the Law to receive forgiveness of your sins. You cannot earn merit to receive forgiveness of your sins. You can do nothing to receive forgiveness of your sins. You receive forgiveness of your sins freely and simply by believing in the name of Jesus Christ because it is the grace of God on account of the righteousness of Christ who died for sinners.

(2). The righteousness of God.

Rom 3:22, “even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction.”

Phl 3:9, “and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.”

Note: You are counted or credited righteous through faith in Jesus Christ, believers receive the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

(3). A propitiation in His blood.

Rom 3:25, “ whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed.”

Note: Propitiation in Greek is hilastērion which means relating to an appeasing or expiating, having placating or expiating force, expiatory; a means of appeasing or expiating (Strong’s Concordance); a means of appeasing or expiating; an expiatory sacrifice; appeasement; - which occurs 3 times in the New Testament. Jesus died on the cross in His blood as an appeasement to God so that God passed over our sins through faith.

(4). Justification in Christ.

Rom 3:30, “since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.”

Gal 2:16, “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.”

Note: Justify in Greek is dikaioō which means to be freed; to render righteous; to declare one to be just; to regard as innocent; to declare not guilty; to be acquitted of a charge; to be absolved; - which occurs 40 times in the New Testament. God justifies sinners not by works of the Law, but through faith in Christ Jesus.

(5). Receive the promise of the Spirit.

Gal 3:14, “in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Gal 3:22, “But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”

Note: To receive the promise of the Spirit is to receive the promise in Jesus Christ by faith.

(6). Become children of God.

Jhn 1:12, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”

Gal 3:26, “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

Note: As many as received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, to them God gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. What an honor and privilege for unworthy sinners.

(7). Have been saved.

Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

Mar 16:16, “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.”

Note: He who has believed and repented and baptized shall be saved through faith.

(8). Into this grace in which we stand.

Rom 5:2, “through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.”

Note: No one can stand before the Holy God. Believers have obtained introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand.

(9). To please God.

Heb 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

Note: Faith pleases God. God is pleased with him who comes to God and believes that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

(10). Have boldness and confident access.

Eph 3:12, “in Whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.”

Note: Sinners are afraid of the Holy God, having no access to God, much less boldness and confidence. Through faith in Jesus Christ who opened the way to the God by His blood, we have boldness and confident access to God for mercy.

(11). Christ dwells in our hearts.

Eph 3:17, “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love.”

Note: The wonder of all wonders is the fact that Christ dwells in the heart of a believer, being rooted and grounded in love. A Christian can know for sure that Christ lives in his heart through faith by the Holy Spirit.

(12). Raised up with Christ from the dead.

Col 2:12, “having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.”

Note: Believers are raised up with Jesus Christ through faith to receive the new life and participate in the nature of God.

(13). Salvation which is in Christ Jesus.

2Ti 3:15, “and that from childhood you have known the Sacred Writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

Note: The Sacred Writings (the Holy Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

(14). Cleansing our hearts.

Act 15:9, “and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.”

Note: Our hearts are cleansed by faith in Christ through the Holy Spirit.

(15). To be Sanctified.

Note: God opens the eyes of believers so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Jesus Christ.

(16). Inherit the promises.

Heb 6:12, “so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Note: Christians should not be sluggish or lazy, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

(17). The Word of God performs its work in you.

1Th 2:13, “For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the Word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.”

Note: Wonderful is the Word of God which also performs its work in those who believe.

(18). Become sons of Light.

Jhn 12:36, “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.” These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.”

Jhn 12:46, “I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.”

Note: Jesus Christ is the Light of Life, the Light of the World. Believe in the Light so that you may become sons of Light. Sons of Light will not remain in darkness. Western leaders and politicians who lie, kill, and rob other nations without shame are sons of darkness and children of the devil. Western media that lie, lie, and lie without shame; make fake news, fake reports, fake views and spreads lies and falsehoods to deceive the world are sons of darkness and children of the devil. They may feel triumphant and arrogant now, but the Day of Judgment is near. Clearly, those who believe in Jesus Christ will not remain in darkness. You remain in darkness because you are sons of darkness.

(19). Live by faith in the Son of God.

Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

Note: Christians do not live for themselves, do not live for money, power, and sex; they live by faith in the Son of God.

(20). Have eternal life.

Jhn 3:15, “so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.”

1Jo 5:1, “ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.”

Note: Whoever believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God have eternal life.

(21). Enter the rest of God.

Heb 4:3, “For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,
“AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,
THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST,”
although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.”

Note: We who have believed enter the rest of God. The rest and joy in Heaven is eternal.

(22). Building ourselves up.

Jde 1:20, “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.”

Note: The most holy faith can build up believers in Christ, praying in the Holy Spirit.

(23). Fight the good fight.

1Ti 1:18-19, “This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.”

Note: To keep faith and a good conscience is to fight the good fight.

(24). Working through love.

Gal 5:6, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.”

Note: Neither circumcision nor uncircumsicion means anything. Many falsely believe ritual means anything. The important thing is faith working through love. It is not possible to have faith without love. It is not possible for warmongers, oppressors, liars, killers, robbers, and terrorists to claim they have faith.

(25). Fill with all joy and peace.

Rom 15:13, “ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Note: This is the joy and peace unbelievers do not know. The God of hope can fill believers with all joy and peace in believing, so that we will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

(26). Overcome the world.

1Jo 5:4, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

Note: American and European leaders want to conquer the world by superior military power and nuclear weapons, and they will meet mutual destruction. Christians overcome the world by faith.

(27). Extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Eph 6:16, “in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

Note: Taking up the shield of faith with which we Christians will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

(28). Protected by the power of God.

1Pe 1:4-5, “to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Note: Little Flock, do not be afraid, for you are protected by the power of God through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time when Jesus Christ is coming again soon to redeem our body.

VII. WHAT TO DO WITH FAITH

Faith is active, by faith doing the will of God. Believers by faith perform.

(1). Have faith in God.

Mar 11:22, “And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God.”

Heb 6:1, “Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.”

Rom 14:22, “The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.”

Note: Man cannot have faith in science, philosophy, religion, man, institution or anything. Man can have faith only in God. Faith in God brings grace. Faith is toward God, not man, not thing, not science, not philosophy, not religion, not anyone or anything. The faith which you have personally is your conviction before God. People in the West have faith toward money, power and sex and their nuclear weapons.

(2). Have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Act 20:21, “solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Note: Have faith in God is not enough, for Christ is the way to God. To be saved, you need to repent toward God and have faith in Christ who is the Son of God and died for our sins. Sinners cannot come to God without going through Jesus Christ.

(3). To cleanse the heart by faith.

Act 15:9, “and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.”

Note: God made no distinction between the Jews and the Gentiles, cleansing our hearts by faith in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.

(4). To have a propitiation in His blood through faith.

Rom 3:25-26, “whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the Justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”

Note: Propitiation in Greek is hilastērion which means a means of appeasing or expiating; the blood of Jesus for the atonement of our sins; appeasement; sacrifice to appease God; an atoning sacrifice; - which occurs 3 times in the New Testament. Jesus died on the cross for our sins as a propitiation in His blood to appease to God who passed over our sins previously committed. To demonstrate the righteousness of God at the present time, so that God would be just and the Justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

(5). To be justified by faith.

Rom 1:17, “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Note: The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith means a sinner begins to come to God from faith by grace and saved through faith in Jesus Christ to receiving the eternal life. The whole process of salvation is from faith to faith, a sinner is saved by faith in Christ alone and nothing else.

Gal 2:16, “nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.”

Note: Justify in Greek is dikaioō which means to render righteous; to be freed; to declare righteous; to be counted righteous; to regard as just or innocent; to be considered righteous; to declare guiltless; to be acquitted of a charge; to deem right; - which occurs 40 times in the New Testament. No flesh will be justified by the works of the Law. No one can be justified before God by his own good deeds or merit. We all have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law. To be justified by faith in Christ means to be counted or credited as righteous before God because of the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Rom 3:28, “ For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.”

Rom 4:5, “But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Note: Man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. Faith is credited as righteousness.

(6). To be sanctified by faith in Christ.

Note: The precious blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins, and by this faith we are sanctified in Christ.

(7). To receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Gal 3:14, “in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Note: Just as believers are saved through faith, we would also receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

(8). To have eternal life.

1Jo 5:13, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

Note: This is for sure, everyone who believes in the name of the Son of God, may know that you have eternal life.

(9). Saved through faith.

Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”

Note: By grace of God we believers have been saved through faith; and that not of ourselves, because it is the gift of God. Salvation is the gift of God. The gift of God is free.

(10). To have obedience of faith.

Rom 1:5, “through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake.”

Rom 16:26, “but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith.”

Note: Believers have faith in Christ, through Whom we have received grace to bring about obedience of faith for His name’s sake. Faith obeys Jesus Christ. The commandment of the eternal God has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith in Christ.

(11). Increase our faith.

Luk 17:5, “The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

2Co 10:15, “not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you.”

2Th 1:3, “We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater.”

Note: Faith can grow and faith grows. Faith can increase. We need to pray to the Lord to increase our faith. Your faith can be greatly enlarged.

(12). Grow strong in faith.

Rom 4:20, “yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God.”

Note: Believers must grow strong in faith, giving glory to God. To be strong in faith is not self-glory.

Col 2:7, “Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.”

Note: The secret to grow strong in faith is to go strong in the truth.

(13). Faith may not fail.

Luk 22:32, “but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

Note: We need to pray that our faith may not fail. God is faithful. God will not fail us.

(14). Faith is the basis.

Act 3:16, “And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.”

Rom 10:6, “But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, ‘WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is, to bring Christ down).”

Note: Basis is foundation or the ground in matters relating to God. On the basis means according to or by virtue of. Christianity is based on faith in the truth of Jesus Christ. Without faith is like a building without foundation. Faith opens the way to God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We come to God on the basis of faith in the name of Jesus Christ. No one can come to God on any other basis or on any other name. The righteousness in Christ is obtained based on faith.

(15). To be full of faith.

Act 6:5, “The statement found approval with the whole congregation; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.”

Act 11:24, “for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And considerable numbers were brought to the Lord.”

Note: Stephen is a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit. Barnabas is a man full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. We do not know whether a man is full of faith because he is full of the Holy Spirit, or a man is full of the Holy Spirit because he is full of faith. It does not matter, God knows which is which and what is what. So we pray to the Lord for believers to be full of faith and full of the Holy Spirit.

(16). To be revealed from faith to faith.

Rom 1:17, “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Note: The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith means the righteousness of God can be obtained through faith alone in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is distinction. It begins with faith and completes by faith. From start to finish, it is on the basis of faith, from faith to faith.

(17). Follow in the steps of the faith of Abraham.

Rom 4:12, “and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.”

Note: All believers follow in the steps of the faith of Abraham.

(18). Introduction by faith into grace.

Rom 5:2, “through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.”

Note: Sinful men through faith in Jesus Christ can obtain introduction by faith into the grace of God in which we stand. Believers can stand on nothing else but the grace of God.

(19). Faith rests on the power of God.

1Co 2:5, “so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.”

Note: Faith rests on the power of God means faith exists on the power of God, faith is subject to the power of God. That is the problem of secular academics, unbelieving theologians, scientists and philosophers who exist on the wisdom of men. Wisdom of men is contrary to the power of God. The wisdom of men do not co-exist with the power of God.

(20). Walk by faith.

2Co 5:7, “for we walk by faith, not by sight—”

Note: Walk in Greek is peripateō which means to conduct oneself; to regulate one’s life; to live; to make one’s way; to pass one’s life; to deport oneself; - which occurs 105 times. To walk by faith does not mean to move along on foot. Christians not only live by faith, we walk by faith. Walking by faith covers the the totality of one’s way of life, how one lives, and how one conducts oneself. Faith is seeing the invisible. God is invisible for God is Spirit. Christians do not walk according to the tradition of men, do not walk in the darkness, do not walk according to the customs of nations, do not walk according to the flesh, do not walk according to the elementary principles of the world. To walk by faith means to walk according to the Spirit, to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, to walk as children of Light walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.

(21). See if you are in the Faith.

2Co 13:5, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the Faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?”

Note: If you in Jesus Christ, you are in the Faith. From time to time, we must examine and test ourselves to see if we are in the Faith.

(22). Live by faith.

Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”

Note: The meaning of this verse “live by faith” is different from and the verse Rom 1:17, “THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” Gal 2:20 is talking about to live your life by faith for Christ, exemplified by the ministry of Apostle Paul. Rom 1:17 refers to how a man receives the new life by faith in Jesus Christ.

(23). Preach the Word of faith.

Rom 10:8, “But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the Word of faith which we are preaching.”

Note: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Word of faith. From Jesus Christ to Apostles to disciples today, Christians are preaching the Word of faith.

(24). In God we have boldness and confident access through faith in Christ.

Eph 3:12, “in Whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.”

Note: In Christ we have boldness and confident access to God through faith in Jesus. No one has access to God through anyone or anything else.

(25). Have stability of your faith in Christ.

Col 2:5, “For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.”

Note: Discipline in Greek is taxis which means right order; orderly condition; character; style; quality; fashion; official dignity; orderly conduct or pattern of behavior; - which occurs 11 times in the New Testament. Christians discipline themselves for the purpose of godliness. Stability in Greek is stereōma which means steadfastness; firmness; solid front; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. True faith in Christ has stability.

(26). Take up the shield of faith.

Eph 6:16, “in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

Note: Shield in Greek is thyreos which means a large door-shaped shield; a protective structure; - which occurs 1 time in the New Testament. The shield of faith is used to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. The flaming arrows of the evil one are many, including false gospel, false doctrine, heresy, unbelief like higher criticism, deceptive teaching; etc.

(27). Do the work of faith.

1Th 1:3, “constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father.”

Note: Faith is not lazy or inactive. Faith works. Faith performs. True believers have work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father. For believers everything is in the presence of our God and Father.

(28). Love from a sincere faith.

1Ti 1:5, “But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”

2Ti 1:5, “For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.”

Note: Sincere in Greek is anypokritos which means unfeigned; without hypocrisy; without dissimulation; undisguised; undissembled; pure; honest; true; - which occurs 8 times in the New Testament. Faith is internal. All true believers have a sincere faith within them. Love is from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

(29). Keeping faith.

1Ti 1:19, “keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.”

Note: Faith needs to be kept. All good things need to be kept. Without keeping faith and a good conscience, people have suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

(30). Continue in faith.

1Ti 2:15, “But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.”

Note: Not only child-bearing women need to continue in faith, all believers need to continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

(31). Pursue faith …

1Ti 6:11, “But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.”

Note: Pursue in Greek is diōkō which means to follow after; to run after; to seek after eagerly, earnestly endeavor to acquire (Strong’s Concordance); to press forward; - which occurs 47 times in the New Testament. Christians must pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. In the world people pursue money, power, and sex; especially in Europe and America.

(32). Fight the good fight of faith.

1Ti 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

Note: Faith not only needs to be kept and it must be fought. To fight the good fight of faith you need to take hold of the eternal life and make good confession of the Faith.

(33). To be sound in faith.

Tit 2:2, “Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.”

Note: Sound in Greek is hygiainō which means to be whole and complete; to be wholesome; of the Christian faith which is free from any mixture of error; to be uncorrupt; to be true in doctrine; - which occurs 15 times in the New Testament.To be sound in faith you need to be rooted in the Word of God. John Calvin was not sound in faith because he taught a false doctrine that God predetermined some groups of people to go to Hell.

(34). Show good faith to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

Tit 2:10, “not pilfering, but showing all good faith so that they will adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.”

Note: Those who profess to be Christians yet they are liars, thieves and robbers and pilfering and killers do not show all good faith, and do not adorn the doctrine of God our Savior. Believers strive to adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect.

(35). To be united by faith.

Heb 4:2, “For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.”

Note: Hearing the Word of God must be united by faith to make profitable. The church of Satan wants to unite people in one world religion contrary to the Faith.

(36). Testing of faith produces endurance.

Jas 1:3, “knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”

Heb 6:12, “so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Note: It is the will of God for Christians to be imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Those who have faith must also have patience. Patience is never easy. In the Chinese character of ‘patience’, there is a knife in your heart. The testing of your faith produces endurance, endurance strengthens patience. Through faith and patience we will inherit the promises.

(37). Have faith to the preserving of the soul.

Heb 10:39, “ But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.”

Note: Those who backslide or shrink back meet destruction, but true believers are those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.

(38). By faith we understand.

Heb 11:3, “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

Note: In the matters of the world we understand and then believe. In the things of God by faith we understand, we believe in order to understand. If you believe and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth, you will understand the Word of God. I could not understand God and Jesus Christ by reason and human wisdom. I understand by faith that God is my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ the Son of God is my Lord and Savior. The knowledge of the Most High can be obtained only by revelation through Jesus Christ.

(39). Fix our eyes of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith.

Heb 12:2, “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Note: You are blessed to have learned so much about faith in Christ. Fix your eyes on Jesus who is the Author and Perfecter of faith. If I have to live my life over again, I will still be a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. There is no such a thing called reincarnation. To believe in Jesus Christ is the greatest thing in anybody’s life.

(40). Ask in faith without any doubting.

Jas 1:6, “But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.”

Note: Prayer is asking God. To pray we must ask God in faith without any doubting. I can testify God answers my prayers without number, therefore I continue to pray all the time.

(41). To be rich in faith.

Jas 2:5, “Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?”

Note: Many want to get rich in this world. Everybody is getting mad to make money by all means. There are so many crooks, liars and frauds in this evil generation and they terrify me. Even if you are rich it can last only a short time. I would rather be rich in faith than to be the richest crooked man on earth who is without God and without hope.

(42). Faith pleases God.

Heb 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

Note: Faith pleases God. For that reason, unbelievers are doomed. You do not need to kill or rape or rob to go to Hell. Unbelief will send anyone straight to Hell.

(43). Faith without works is useless.

Jas 2:20, “But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?”

Jas 2:26, “For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”

Note: It does not mean you are saved by works. No matter how good your works are, they cannot save you or earn you the righteousness of God. If one says he believes but does not repent, he deceives himself. Faith is not inactive or passive. Faith rises up in action. Faith obeys God, that is called obedience of faith. Faith without works is useless. The righteous lives by faith. For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. Faith without obedience is dead.

(44). Prayer offered in faith.

Jas 5:15, “and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.”

Note: The importance of prayer is not how long you pray, but how the prayer is offered earnestly in faith to God.

(45). Proof of your faith.

1Pe 1:7-9, “so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.”

Note: Mark you, faith has proof. The proof of a believer’s faith is more precious than gold, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the coming of Jesus Christ. Christianity is based on faith. Though Christians have not seen Christ, we love Him, and though we do not see Him now, but we believe in Him, obtaining the outcome of our faith the salvation of our souls.

(46). Faith and hope are in God.

1Pe 1:21, “who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”

Note: Faith is linked to hope. It is impossible to have hope without faith. Our faith and hope are in God.

(47). Faith overcomes the world.

1Jo 5:4, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

Note: Overcome in Greek is nikaō which means to conquer; to prevail; to get the victory; to win the case; to subdue; to surmount; to defeat; - which occurs 28 times in the New Testament. Heb 11:33-34, “who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.” By faith Christians have overcome the world.

(48). Build yourselves up on your most holy faith.

Jde 1:20, “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.”

Note: By studying and obeying the Word of God and praying in the Holy Spirit, you can build up yourself on your most holy faith. The faith in God and Christ is most holy.

Rev 14:12, “Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.”

Note: Faith in God is not like faith in man. Faith in Jesus is the most holy faith that builds up believers, praying in the Holy Spirit.

(49). Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

Eph 3:17, “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love.”

Note: It is also through faith so that Christ may dwell in our hearts, and that we are being rooted and grounded in love. Through faith means by means of faith, or through the use of faith.

(50). Offer the sacrifice and service of your faith.

Phl 2:17, “But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.”

Note: The service you do for yourself may last a lifetime. The service you offer to mankind may last several generations. True faith will produce sacrifice and service to the Lord. The sacrifice and service of your faith will last for eternity.

(51). Not all have faith.

2Th 3:2, “and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.”

Note: Do not be surprised. Not all people have faith. Judging from the Word of Jesus, Mat 7:14,“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” There seems to be more unbelievers than believers. But don’t you get the wrong idea that Heaven will be a lonely place, sparsely populated. Jde 1:14, “Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of his holy ones.” Rev 5:11, “Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands.” Heb 12:22, “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels.” I have met millions of people around the world, but one good man is worth a billion wicked men. Besides one thing you may not know, all those aborted and killed infants by the grace of God go to Heaven.

Perverse and evil men do not have faith. May God rescue us from perverse and evil men. Those who preach good news and those who heard must be united by faith. Christians everywhere are united by faith. It is hoped you have faith in Christ Jesus so that you may be saved from your sins and judgment to come and have the eternal life.

(52). I do believe; help my unbelief.

Mar 9:24, “Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.”

Note: We should pray like the father whose son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute; the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foam it at the mouth; the boy had the condition from childhood. But the father prayed, “I do believe, help my unbelief.” Lord, I do believe, help my unbelief.

IN CONCLUSION

Scholars and theologians are usually turgid and pompous in expressing their so-called knowledge and views as fact. Do not waste your time and efforts to study secular academics who put Christianity on a par with Islam, Buddhism, Shintoism, animism, totemism and many more, who do not consider the distinction between Christian and non-Christian religion, and who use so-called higher criticism to discredit the Holy Bible. They attempt to know God from their own standpoint. They bolt and bar themselves against revelation of Jesus Christ by providing a substitute of their own views. Unbelief is always man’s belief in himself. Self, Sin, and Satan prevent oneself from believing and knowing the truth in Christ.

You have learned a lot what faith is. Faith is the act of believing, full of conviction. Faith in God and Christ is personal and individual matter. No one can believe on your behalf just as no one can eat for you. Jesus offers you the bread of life and the eternal life. Come and get it. It is for you to decide whether you want to believe in the Son of God, the Savior of mankind or not. No one can force you. Not even God will force you, for God has given you free will, free to choose life or death. The Faith is the thing we believe. The Christian Faith is the Faith all Christians believe in all generations collectively, the truth in Christ, so that we may receive the eternal salvation and inheritance in Heaven. The Faith is the Holy Faith because none in other religions, it was bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. The Faith is the Way, Christianity.

The Christian Faith is holy because it was backed and guaranteed and substantiated by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Jhn 2:22, “So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the Word which Jesus had spoken.” The Apostles and early disciples made a decision, Jhn 6:68-69, “Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have Words of eternal life. We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.” Our faith is holy because we believe in the Holy One of God.

Rom 10:12-13, “ For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

Note: It is hoped you have the understanding so that you may know the Son of God who is true, His Son Jesus Christ. To believe and know the true God is eternal life.

Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”

Note: Jesus says, Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes God who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

It was reported that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was killed by a brain hemorrhage after his last words, “I have a terrific headache.” Truly, no matter who you are, powerful, wealthy, and famous, you have no control how you are going to die. Even secular academics and scientists do not know when they are going to die, not to say how they are going to die. A French atheist philosopher was dying, his followers gathered to watch his last moment; and he was struggling desperately to grab for something. They asked him what he was grabbing at. The atheist said, “I have nothing to hold to.” Watch how a Christian martyr died, Steven was stoned to death.

Act 7:59-60, “They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.” To die in Christ is like falling asleep. It will be the day of resurrection when Jesus Christ returns to the earth to judge the living and the dead and to reign forever with the saints.

Everyone dies not knowing when and how. But you can be sure like Paul who said, 2Ti 1:12, “For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.” If you know Whom you have believed is the Lord of life, you do not worry.

Once upon a time there was an old lady who lived in a remote village. One day severe earthquake struck the small village, people were frightened running to and fro. A little girl asked her grandma, “Are you not afraid?” The grandma said, “No, I rejoice to know that my God can shake the world.”

David says, Psa 23:4-6, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

Note: Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow Christians all the days of their lives, and we will live in the House of the Lord forever.

Now you know what "faith" is, and what the "Faith" is. It is up to you to act. Faith requires action.

Jesus Christ is calling you, Come and receive eternal life by faith without cost.

You can come now no matter who you are and where you are to accept and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

The Christian Faith is not a Delusion

1. The Christian Faith is NOT based on philosophical and theological grounds. Let us make it clear: The Christian Faith is NOT based on psychological, psychiatric or political grounds either. The Christian Faith is not based on human opinions or human wisdom at all. The Christian Faith is based on the Revelation of Jesus Christ by the power of His Resurrection from the dead. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is completed and written in the New Testament. The Revelation of Jesus Christ did not and does not promise a churchgoer “would not catch the virus because she was “covered in Jesus’ blood”. All the sins of the saved are covered by the precious blood of Jesus Christ and passed from condemnation. No pandemic or disease is covered by the blood of Jesus.

2. A false believer is any person who believes in his/her delusion or illusion, but not based on the Word of God. No religion conferred anyone immunity from COVID-19. Any one who believes so is not based on truth, but based on superstition. The Christian Faith is not superstition. For Jesus says,

Mar 2:17, “And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Any teacher or preacher who leads church members astray from the truth is a false teacher or preacher. In fact about 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ predicted things to come: Luk 21:10-11, “Then He continued by saying to them, “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in many places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from Heaven.” And so COVID-19 is actually one of the plagues that fulfilled the prophesy of Jesus Christ. Plague in Greek is loimos which means pestilence; which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. Plague, pestilence, and pandemic mean the same thing.

3. Christianity is not like all other religions. All other religions are man-made. Christianity is the Revealed religion. It does not depend on any man or organization. Christianity is the truth in Jesus Christ, absolute, complete, supreme, ultimate, infallible and eternal. Christianity is not based on scientific truths either, because science is the best human organized knowledge at a point in time and place; science is always progressive, tentative, and never absolute, or infallible. No true or great scientist believes they have absolute scientific truths. The Christian faith is reasonable, not dangerous at all. Belief in an afterlife is NOT a malignant delusion. For Jesus Christ says, Jhn 11:25, “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.”

For the Christian is the happiest because Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” The Christian is happiest because he has passed out of death (eternal death) into life (eternal life); his sins are forgiven he is a Pilgrim on his way to the Heavenly City. The richest and most powerful man in this world is without God and without hope. An unbeliever does not know when he is going to die, he is afraid of death because he is going to face the judgment of God. Christians have eternal security, nothing to fear, not even afraid of nuclear war.

4. You can equate any religion with delusion except Christianity, for Christians have blessed hope. Christians are citizens of Heaven, the eternal Kingdom of God. Your intellect cannot save you at the moment of death. There is no semantic quibble, nothing and no one can save you from death, and Hell. The biggest delusion are those who disbelieve after death is Hell. “When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion”. The biggest insanity is to make the wrong bet, as the great scientist and philosopher Pascal has argued most rationally,

“If I believe in God and life after death and you do not, and if there is no God, we both lose when we die. However, if there is a God, you still lose and I gain everything.”

Nuclear War

It is sad and mad because there are American leaders, politicians, military, and civilian strategists who believe they can win in a nuclear war against Russia and China, although Russia and China DO NOT want a war.

American warmongers daily and constantly promote and promulgate the biggest and blackest lie of the 21st Century by making false charges that Russia and China are national security threats to America. As a matter of fact America is the number one threat to the world.

American leaders and politicians are fooling the American Public by disseminating disinformation and fake news that America is ready to fight a nuclear war, destroys the enemies in 72 hours, and wins and continues as usual to rule the world.

As attested by history the United States of America is the most warring state since its inception. Members of the military-Industrial-security complex are the beneficiaries of all American wars and they are the most powerful and richest people in America. America has wasted so many trillions and trillions of dollars in the name of national security and defense. I am telling you in a nuclear war, there will be no winner, only losers. The coming nuclear war incited by America means the total destruction of America, Russia, China, and the whole world.

Most Americans must know by now that election, general election, presidential election and ballot are useless and exercises of futility. American supremacists (white and black) want you to believe America is democratic and free. Democracy and freedom are empty slogans when and where

1 percent of the population rules over the 99 percent of American people. The system is rigged when and where the 1 percent of the minority owns the wealth of the majority. American leaders and politicians are most afraid of a national referendum to determine the fate of the nation whether American citizens want a respectable Republic or an evil Empire. The only measure that can change America is through the national referendum to determine the direction of America.

America cries “wolf” too many times, not realizing that American leaders and politicians are the savage wolves that swallow up American people (sheep and lamb). Jesus

Christ says, Mat 26:52, “Then Jesus said to him,

“Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.” You cannot watch America to perish by the sword (nuclear war). American warmongers take pleasures in waging war. American citizens have the right to stop the madness and demand a national referendum which is true democracy in action.
