– Begin of daily reading for Jun 30 – Day 182

NEW TESTAMENT

10 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band (a centurion of what was known as the Italian Regiment),

² A devout (committed) man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms (donations) to the people, and prayed to God alway (always).

³ He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day (3:00 p.m.) an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

⁴ And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy (Your) prayers and thine alms (your donations) are come up for a memorial before God.

⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

⁶ He lodgeth (lodges) with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee (you) what thou oughtest (you ought/should) to do.

⁷ And when the angel which spake unto (spoke to) Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

⁸ And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

Peter Visits Cornelius

⁹ On the morrow (the next day), as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto (near to) the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour (noon):

¹⁰ And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

¹¹ And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

¹² Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls (birds) of the air.

¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

¹⁴ But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

¹⁵ And the voice spake unto (spoke to) him again the second time, What God hath (has) cleansed, that call not thou common (no longer consider unholy).

¹⁶ This was done thrice (3 times): and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

¹⁷ Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold (see), the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate,

¹⁸ And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

¹⁹ While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold (See), three men seek thee (you).

²⁰ Arise therefore, and get thee (you) down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

²¹ Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold (See), I am he whom ye (you) seek: what is the cause wherefore ye (you) are come?

²² And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth (fears) God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an (a) holy angel to send for thee (you) into his house, and to hear words of thee (you).

²³ Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow (the next day) Peter went away with them, and certain brethren (brothers) from Joppa accompanied him.

Job Continues to Defend His Innocence

17 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

² Are there not mockers with me? and doth (does) not mine (my) eye continue in their provocation?

(NOTE: mocker = a person who jeers or makes fun or jokes or treats someone with contempt or calls out in derision. synonyms: flouter, jeerer, scoffer. disagreeable person, unpleasant person. a person who is not pleasant or agreeable)

³ Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee (you); who is he that will strike hands with me?

⁴ For thou hast hid (you have hidden) their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not (you shall not) exalt them.

⁵ He that speaketh (speaks) flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁶ He hath (has) made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

⁷ Mine (My) eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.

⁸ Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

⁹ The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath (has) clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

¹⁰ But as for you all, do ye (you) return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

¹¹ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

¹² They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.

¹³ If I wait, the grave is mine (my) house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

¹⁴ I have said to corruption, Thou art (You are) my father: to the worm, Thou art (You are) my mother, and my sister.

¹⁵ And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶ They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

Bildad’s Second Response to Job

18 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

² How long will it be ere ye (you) make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

³ Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight (As if [we are] stupid (senseless) in your eyes)?

⁴ He teareth (tears) himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee (you)? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

⁵ Yea (Yes), the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁶ The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

⁷ The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

⁸ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

⁹ The gin shall take him by the heel (A snare catches him by the heel), and the robber shall prevail (be proven more powerful) against him.

¹⁰ The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

¹¹ Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

¹² His strength shall be hungerbitten (famished), and destruction shall be ready at his side.

¹³ It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

¹⁴ His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

¹⁵ It shall dwell (live) in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

¹⁶ His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

¹⁷ His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

¹⁸ He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

¹⁹ He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

²⁰ They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

²¹ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not (who does not know) God.

Job’s Sixth Speech: A Response to Bildad

19 Then Job answered and said,

² How long will ye (you) vex (frustrate) my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

³ These ten times have ye (you) reproached me: ye (you) are not ashamed that ye (you) make yourselves strange to me.

⁴ And be it indeed that I have erred, mine (my) error remaineth (remained) with myself.

⁵ If indeed ye (you) will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach (disgrace, humiliation):

⁶ Know now that God hath (has) overthrown me, and hath (has) compassed me with his net.

⁷ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

⁸ He hath (has) fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath (has) set darkness in my paths.

⁹ He hath (has) stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

¹⁰ He hath (has) destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hath (has) he removed like a tree.

¹¹ He hath (has) also kindled his wrath (flamed His extreme anger) against me, and he counteth (counted) me unto him as one of his enemies.

¹² His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.

¹³ He hath (has) put my brethren (brothers) far from me, and mine (my) acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

¹⁴ My kinsfolk (relatives) have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

¹⁵ They that dwell in mine (live in my) house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien (a stranger) in their sight.

¹⁶ I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated (implored, begged) him with my mouth.

¹⁷ My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine (my) own body.

¹⁸ Yea (Yes), young children despised (disliked and looked down on) me; I arose, and they spake (spoke) against me.

¹⁹ All my inward friends abhorred (hated) me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

²⁰ My bone cleaveth (clings) to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye (you) my friends; for the hand of God hath (has) touched me.

²² Why do ye (you) persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

²³ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

²⁴ That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

²⁵ For I know that my redeemer (Redeemer) liveth (lives), and that he (He) shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

²⁶ And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

²⁷ Whom I shall see for myself, and mine (my) eyes shall behold (see), and not another; though my reins be consumed within me (my heart faints within me).

²⁸ But ye (you) should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

²⁹ Be ye (you) afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth (extreme anger brings) the punishments of the sword, that ye (you) may know there is a judgment.

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:-

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.”
