NEW TESTAMENT

²⁴ And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea (On the following day he [and the others] entered Caesarea). And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen (relatives) and near friends.

²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁷ And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye (You) know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation (for a Jewish man to associate with or befriend a Gentile, or to visit him); but God hath (has) shewed (showed) me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

²⁹ Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying (Therefore I came without raising an objection), as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye (you) have sent for me?

³⁰ And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour (3 p.m.) I prayed in my house, and, behold (see), a man stood before me in bright clothing,

³¹ And said, Cornelius, thy (your) prayer is heard, and thine alms (your donations) are had in remembrance in the sight of God (Yah, Yahuah, YHVH, Adonay).

³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh (comes), shall speak unto thee (you).

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee (you); and thou hast (you have) well done that thou art come (you came). Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee (you) of God.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons (“Most certainly I understand now that God is not one to show partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s blessing]):

³⁵ But in every nation he that feareth him (fears God) , and worketh (works) righteousness, is accepted with him (Him).

³⁶ The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach): (he (He) is Lord of all:)

³⁷ That word, I say, ye (you) know, which was published throughout all Judaea (Judea), and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

³⁸ How God anointed Jesus (Yeshua) of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him (Him).

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he (He) did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew (killed) and hanged on a tree:

⁴⁰ Him God raised up the third day, and shewed (showed) him openly;

⁴¹ Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him (Him) after he (He) rose from the dead.

⁴² And he (He) commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he (He) which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

⁴³ To him (Him) give all the prophets witness, that through his (His) name whosoever believeth in him (believes in Him) shall receive remission (forgiveness) of sins.

The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit

⁴⁴ While Peter yet spake (was speaking) these words, the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) fell on all them which heard the word.

⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit).

⁴⁶ For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

⁴⁷ Can any man forbid (refuse) water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) as well as we?

⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry (stay) certain days.

Zophar’s Second Response to Job

20 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

² Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste (quickly).

³ I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth (makes) me to answer.

⁴ Knowest thou not (Do you not know) this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

⁵ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

⁶ Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

⁷ Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

⁸ He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea (yes), he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

⁹ The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

¹⁰ His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

¹¹ His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

¹² Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

¹³ Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

¹⁴ Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

¹⁵ He hath (has) swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

¹⁶ He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay (kill) him.

¹⁷ He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

¹⁸ That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

¹⁹ Because he hath (has) oppressed and hath (has) forsaken the poor; because he hath (has) violently taken away an house which he builded not;

²⁰ Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

²¹ There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

²² In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

²³ When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

²⁴ He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

²⁵ It is drawn, and cometh (comes) out of the body; yea (yes), the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

²⁶ All darkness shall be hid (hidden) in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

²⁷ The heaven shall reveal his iniquity (sin); and the earth shall rise up against him.

²⁸ The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath (God’s extreme anger).

²⁹ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Job’s Seventh Speech: A Response to Zophar

21 But Job answered and said,

² Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

³ Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

⁴ As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

⁵ Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

⁶ Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh (takes) hold on my flesh.

⁷ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea (yes), are mighty in power?

⁸ Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

⁹ Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

¹⁰ Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf (His bull breeds and does not fail;
His cow calves and does not miscarry).

¹¹ They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

¹² They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

¹³ They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

¹⁴ Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy (Your) ways.

¹⁵ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

¹⁶ Lo (Look), their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁷ How oft (often) is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh (often comes) their destruction upon them! God distributeth (distributes) sorrows in his (His) anger.

¹⁸ They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth (carries) away.

¹⁹ God layeth up his iniquity for his children (You say, ‘God stores away [the punishment of] man’s wickedness for his children): he rewardeth him, and he shall know it (Let God repay him so that he may know and experience it).

²⁰ His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath (extreme anger) of the Almighty.

²¹ For what pleasure hath (has) he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

²² Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth (He judges) those that are high.

²³ One dieth (dies) in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

²⁴ His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

²⁵ And another dieth (dies) in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth (eats) with pleasure.

²⁶ They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

²⁷ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye (you) wrongfully imagine against me.

²⁸ For ye (you) say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

²⁹ Have ye (you) not asked them that go by the way? and do ye (you) not know their tokens,

³⁰ That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath (extreme anger).

³¹ Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath (has) done?

³² Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.

³³ The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

³⁴ How then comfort ye (you) me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth (remain) falsehood?

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-

VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach = Messiah (English) / Anointed One

In Hebrew (full name): יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One. NOTE: Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43). 

In Greek = Christos

In English = Christ =  Messiah = Anointed One

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God Himself: The Word of God warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
