1 Peter 1: 258 ²⁵ but the Word of the Lord endures Forever.”  And this is the Word that was Preached to you.

                                                                                                                    147

¹⁷ Since you call on a Father who Judges each person’s work Impartially, live out your time as Foreigners here in Reverent Fear. (8)

¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,

¹⁹ but with the Precious Blood of Christ, a Lamb without blemish or defect.

                                                                                                                    147

⁸ Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an Inexpressible and Glorious Joy, (8)

⁹ for you are receiving the end result of your Faith, the Salvation of your Souls.

¹⁰ Concerning this Salvation, the Prophets, who spoke of the Grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,

                                                                                                                    147

²³ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring Word of GOD. (5)

²⁴ For, “All People are like Grass, and all their Glory is like the Flowers of the Field; the Grass Withers and the Flowers Fall,
                                                                                                                    369

¹⁴ As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. (5)

¹⁵ But just as He who called you is Holy, so be Holy in all you do;

¹⁶ for it is written: “Be Holy, because I am Holy.”

                                                                                                                    147

⁵ who through faith are shielded by GOD’s Power until the Coming of the Salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. (5)

⁶ In all this you Greatly Rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of Trials.

⁷ These have come so that the proven genuineness of your Faith—of greater worth than Gold, which perishes even though refined by Fire—may result in praise, Glory and Honor when Jesus Christ is Revealed.

                                                                                                                    147

²⁰ He was chosen before the Creation of the World, but was Revealed in these last times for your sake. (2)

²¹ Through Him you believe in GOD, who raised Him from the Dead and Glorified Him, and so your Faith and Hope are in GOD.

²² Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

                                                                                                                    147

¹¹ trying to find out the Time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the Glories that would Follow. (2)

¹² It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven. Even angels long to look into these things. Be Holy

¹³ Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your Hope on the Grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at His Coming.

                                                                                                                    147

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To GOD’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,

² who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. (2)

Praise to GOD for a Living Hope

³ Praise be to the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His Great Mercy He has given us new birth into a living Hope through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead,

⁴ and into an Inheritance that can never Perish, Spoil or Fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,

                                                                                                                    147

(July, 31-2016 on Sunday)

Isaiah 10: 258 ³⁴ He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax; Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One. (7)

                                                                                                                    147

²⁶ The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and He will raise His staff over the waters, as He did in Egypt. (8)
²⁷ In that day their burden will be lifted from your Shoulders, their yoke from your Neck; the Yoke will be Broken because you have grown so fat.

²⁸ They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash.
                                                                                                                    147

¹⁷ The Light of Israel will become a Fire, their Holy One a Flame; in a Single Day it will burn and consume His Thorns and His Briers. (8) (the second coming of Christ)
¹⁸ The splendor of his forests and fertile fields it will completely Destroy, as when a sick person wastes away.
¹⁹ And the remaining trees of his forests will be So Few that a child could write them down. (Few survivors, to go to heaven. Only a third were saved).

                                                                                                                    147

⁸ ‘Are not My commanders all kings?’ He says. (8)
⁹     ‘Has not Kalno fared like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad, and Samaria like Damascus?
¹⁰ As My hand seized the kingdoms of the idols, kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—

                                                                                                                    147

³² This day they will halt at Nob; they will shake their fist (5) at the mount of Daughter Zion, at the hill of Jerusalem. (5)

³³ See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will lop off the boughs with Great Power. The lofty trees will be felled, the tall ones will be brought low.
                                                                                                                    369

²³ The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land. (5)

²⁴ Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says: “My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
²⁵ Very soon My Anger against you(Christ's people) will End and My Wrath will be directed to their Destruction.”

                                                                                                                    147

¹⁴ As one reaches into a nest, so My hand reached for the wealth of the nations; as people gather abandoned eggs, so I gathered all the countries; not one flapped a wing, or opened its mouth to chirp.’” (5)

¹⁵ Does the ax raise itself above the Person who swings it, or the saw boast against the One who uses it? As if a rod were to wield the Person who lifts it up, or a club brandish the One Who is not wood!
¹⁶ Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will send a wasting disease upon His sturdy warriors; under His pomp a Fire will be kindled like a blazing Flame.

                                                                                                                    147

GOD’s Judgment on Assyria

⁵ “Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of My Anger, in whose hand is the club of My Wrath! (5)
⁶ I send him against a godless nation, I dispatch him against a people who anger Me, to seize loot and snatch plunder, and to trample them down like mud in the streets.
⁷ But this is not what He intends, this is not what He has in mind; His purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations.

                                                                                                                    147

²⁹ They go over the pass, and say, “We will camp overnight at Geba.” Ramah trembles; Gibeah of Saul flees. (2)
³⁰ Cry out, Daughter Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Poor Anathoth!
³¹ Madmenah is in flight; the people of Gebim take cover.

                                                                                                                    147

The Remnant of Israel

²⁰ In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. (2)
²¹ A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty GOD.
²² Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel(GOD's people in the world), only a remnant will return. Destruction has been Decreed,  Overwhelming and Righteous.

                                                                                                                    147

¹¹ shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?’” (2)

¹² When the Lord has finished all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria(All followers of lucifer who do not believe in Christ, and that evil deeds.) for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes.

¹³ For He says: “‘By the strength of My hand I have done this, and by My Wisdom, because I have Understanding. I removed the Boundaries of nations, I Plundered their treasures; like a Mighty One I Subdued their kings.

                                                                                                                    147

1 Woe to those who make unjust Laws, to those who issue oppressive Decrees,
² to deprive the poor of their Rights and withhold Justice from the oppressed of My people,
making Widows their prey and Robbing the Fatherless. (2)
³ What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your Riches?
⁴ Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or fall among the slain. Yet for all this, His Anger is not turned away, His hand is still upraised.
