THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.

Jesus had siblings :
- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

Remember:
Remember:
Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.
This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.
Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:
The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.
Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

- Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!
- WITH ONE ACTION HE STOPPED THE SCOURGE AGAINST
- BUT 24,000 DIED!
- WHAT ABOUT US?

- Many people think they read the Bible but when you listen to them, it is clear they don’t read it!
- THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO READ THE BIBLE: TO TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT YOU READ!
- IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES!
- YOU MUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEN YOU WILL START TO LEARN ABOUT THE BIBLE!
- In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
- An important man must go to a distant land to secure kingly power!
- To his ten slaves he gives money to do business with it till he comes back!
- When he comes back, he wants to know what his slaves have done with their business activity!
- According to what they have done he gives them authority over cities!
- BUT ONE SLAVE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING!
- And he takes what he gave to this slave and gives it to the one who did the best job!
- SO THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL BE GIVEN!
- BUT THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE!
- What about you?

- Maybe you remember that Yah.weh prevented David from building his temple because he was a soldier and he spent a big part of his life making war!
- Jesus clearly said a Christian can’t do that!
- In fact, everything we hear in the first part of the Bible has nothing but nothing to do with what a Christian must or mustn’t do!
- THUS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE FIRST PART OF THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFY ANY PRACTICE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS NOTHING BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS’ TEACHING!
- I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT IT!

- Remember that Ezra restored the worship when he returned to Jerusalem after the exile in Babylon!
- Remember that Ezra’s effective ministry included:
- Teaching the Word of Yah.weh!
- Initiating reforms!
- Restoring worship!
- Leading spiritual revival in Jerusalem!
- Remember that Ezra’s goal was to implement the Torah!
- Remember that his impeccable priestly and scribal credentials allowed him to remain the model leader!
Remember:
- If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
- They used to write differently!
- They used to speak differently!
- They used to think differently!
- They used to act differently!
