Observations from reading the Bible. Not in depth study points, but scriptures that spoke to me especially, while reading.
Jonah 1:5 – The sailors were afraid, and they cried to their gods for help. They began to throw the cargo overboard to lighten the ship’s load. Now, Jonah had gone below deck and was lying there sound asleep. I suspect that even though Jonah was attempting to run from Yahweh, he believed fully in him and …
Matthew 1: 1 – This is the list of ancestors of Jesus Christ, descendant of David and Abraham. The things you know but never really internalised. There is no wonder that Herod was afraid of the birth of Jesus. Jesus is a direct descendant to the line of kings. I mean, I know he’s THE …
Thou shalt always compliment thy significant other. It wouldn’t matter their “love language” a compliment goes far. Song of Songs starts off with pure compliments and continues. Song of Songs 2:1 – I am a rose of Sharon, a lily growing in the valleys. They also looked at what was favourable about themselves. And it …
1 Peter 2:6 – That is why Scripture says, “I am laying a chosen and precious cornerstone in Zion, and the person who believes in him will never be ashamed.” This is not a new thought, but it is still a true thought. Jesus took our shame so that we would never be ashamed. The ruler of …
Matthew 9:18 – A synagogue leader came to Jesus while he was talking to John’s disciples. He bowed down in front of Jesus and said, “My daughter just died. Come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” Matthew’s account of Jairus’ daughter is different. Also his account of the woman with the issue …
Matthew 18:19 – “I can guarantee again that if two of you agree on anything here on earth, my Father in heaven will accept it. Hmmm. I think we truly underestimate the level of authority Yahweh has given to us. Matthew 19:20 – The young man replied, “I have obeyed all these commandments. What …
Genesis 2:9 – The Lord God made all the trees grow out of the ground. These trees were nice to look at, and their fruit was good to eat. The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil grew in the middle of the garden. I remember the previous revelation …
Genesis 26:7 – When the men of that place asked about his wife, Isaac answered, “She’s my sister.” He was afraid to say “my wife.” He thought that the men of that place would kill him to get Rebekah, because she was an attractive woman. Deja vu anyone? What I find so hard to swallow …
Jude 6 – He held angels for judgment on the great day. They were held in darkness, bound by eternal chains. These are the angels who didn’t keep their position of authority but abandoned their assigned place. First up, this does not sound like the angels cast down with Satan. Second, they abandoned their assigned …
Revelation 1:14 – His head and his hair were white like wool—like snow. His eyes were like flames of fire. Random question: Why is Jesus hair white? And in a vision, does he look the way that he “really” looks? Just curious. Churches’ Reward: Ephesus: Eating of the Tree of Life – everyone who …
