A PICTURE OF THE " CROSS "

And I ((( JESUS))), if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto ME. JESUS is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. These Attributes The Way, The Truth and The Life opens the door to a true understanding of the LOVE OF GOD. GOD is LOVE and that LOVE JUSTIFIES SINNERS. Israel was given their FREEDOM by The Power of GOD AND " WE " TO HAVE BEEN DELIVERED FROM THE power of satan. And we murmurer and complain the very same as Israel did in the wilderness. And in doing so we loose The Way, truth and our lives. And we start worshiping THINGS just as ISRAEL worshiped NEHUSHTAN...  " And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the (((WAY))). And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, ((( that HE take away the serpents from us ))). And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, (( BY satan ))  when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld (( LOOKED AT JESUS )) the serpent of brass, he lived. Num. 18:4-8  But the Israel honored things, people, and land more then GOD AND SO DO WE. WE'RE JUST LIKE ISRAEL ! So then.    "He ((( Hezekiah ))) removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 2Kings 18:4 

ARE YOU ON THE LIST ?

Our FATHER AUTHENTICATED HIS SELF in more then a BILLION ways. We live out in the  Heavens spinning at over 67,000 miles and hour around the sun and not one drop of water falls off. THE FATHER can paint in the sky with and invisible brush that's called a RAINBOW. All of this is done that we might BELIEVE, The Father said " I show you the END AT THE BEGINNING THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE. Since Israel is a picture of all believers to show how hard it is for us to be FAITHFUL. The worship of baal was Israel's  “Achilles heel.” But GOD had shown in the very beginning HIS POWER ON dagon which was baal's daddy.  " And the Philistines took the ARK of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. When the Philistines took the ARK of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ARK of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ARK of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. 1 Sam. 5:1-5  Now then.  Just as GOD CUT OFF the hands and feet of dagon and made IT BOW DOWN TO THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD. Israel believed in a defeated god baal who's root dagon had been DEFEATED. We to believe in a defeated foe satan who's root has been destroyed by OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CHRIST JESUS Heb. 2:14   Jesus gives us and example in Luke 10:17-20     " And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy NAME. And JESUS said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ((( Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN ))).....  

DO YOU SEA WHAT EYE SEA ?

The name Mediterranean is derived from the Latin mediterraneus, meaning "inland" or "IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EARTH " (from medius, "middle" and terra, "earth"). Twenty-one modern states have a coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. They are:Africa (from esst to west): Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Malta, Sloveni, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece and Turkey (East Thrace)Asia (from north to south): Turkey (Anatolia), Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt (the Sinai Peninsula)  Europe (from west to east): Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco,Turkey and Egypt are transcontinental countries. The southernmost islands of Italy, the Pelagie islands, are geologically part of the African continent. Several other territories also border the Mediterranean Sea (from west to east): East of The Mediterranean is ISRAEL AND EAST OF ISRAEL IS THE DEAD SEA.  Hebrew Bible states Just north of the Dead Sea is Jericho. Somewhere, perhaps on the southeast shore, would be the cities mentioned in the Book of Genesis which were said to have been destroyed in the time of Abraham: Sodom and Gomorra (Genesis 18) and the three other "Cities of the Plain" - Admah, Zeboim and Zoar (Deuteronomy 29:23). Zoar escaped destruction when Abraham's nephew Lot escaped to Zoar from Sodom (Genesis 19:21-22). Before the destruction, the Dead Sea was a valley full of natural tar pits, which was called the vale of Siddim. King David was said to have hidden from Saul at Ein Gedi nearby. We to live between Live and Death, Good and Evil, Right and Wrong. Israel is between The Mediterranean and The Dead Sea will Israel give Life to the world or will She move in the direction Zoar ( A LITTLE ONE ) That produced Moab and Ammon. Our lives are full of LITTLE ones, a little nasty look, a little black lie, a little feel, a little pill, a little smoke, a little dope, a little sex...   HOSEA 8:7 " For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.   " And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt. 17:20   " For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.        Duet. 30:10-20

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

The Bible is full of great story's, story's of Love, Pain, Deliverance, Hope, Skulduggery and FAITH... Leprosy is a picture of sin "The outward and visible sign of the innermost spiritual corruption that destroys little by little of the whole body,  The Story we're looking at is the life of Gehazi. Now the disease was not contagious is evident from the regulations regarding it (Lev. 13:12, 13, 36; 2 Kings 5:1). Leprosy was "the outward and visible sign of the innermost spiritual corruption; a meet emblem in its small beginnings, its gradual spread, its internal disfigurement, its dissolution little by little of the whole body, of that which corrupts, degrades, and defiles man's inner nature, and renders him unmeet to enter the presence of a pure and holy God" (Maclear's Handbook O.T). Our Lord cured lepers (Matt. 8:2, 3; Mark 1:40-42). This divine power so manifested illustrates his gracious dealings with men in curing the leprosy of the soul, the fatal taint of sin. Gehazi witnessed all that was done by Elisha in blessing The Shunammite with a son and rasing him from the dead. 2 Kings 4   Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a LEPER. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his LEPROS.  2 Kings 5:1-6  We say that The FATHER is Omnipresence or ubiquity is the property of being present everywhere. According to eastern theism God is present everywhere. Divine omnipresence is thus one of the divine attributes, although in western theis it has attracted less philosophical attention than such attributes as omnipotence, omniscience or being eternal. Gehazi didn't believe The FATHER knows all and it cost him..So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him. And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed. But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? The LEPROSY therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a LEPER as white as snow. 2 Kings 5:21-27  But Gehazi learned from Elisha and watching Naaman baptise him self seven times. And LEARNED how to call on The NAME OF THE LORD for him self.  " Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land. And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And GEHAZI said, My lord, O KING this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.  2 Kings 8:1-6     GEHAZI IS STANDING BEFORE KING CAN YOU SEE GEHAZI BAPTIZING HIM SELF JUST AS NAAMAN HAD DONE..
