-"REVERENCE"- THAT, sums it all up , In One WORD! What most do NOT have ( including, shamefully pastors and watchmen- especially those, bragging about what THEY, are doing- disregarding others and Jesus-- zero FEAR, zero REVERENCE to Jesus. That's a Fact. And, they think, "they're Good to Go"? Newsflash- rethinking this, might be a good idea- let us pray for them- who refuse to listen- because we're obedient and have reverence to God and His Word -- -- "REVERENCE" In the Bible Greek 2124 -Reverence, godly fear, caution conveys a two-fold idea: a God-ward reverence that expresses itself in worship, and a circumspect caution that guards the believer from irreverence. Far from mere timidity, it is an active, intelligent awe that both approaches God and restrains self. Its background stretches into Septuagint expressions for “fear of the LORD,” and in the New Testament it is reserved for profound moments where the holiness of God and the mission of Christ intersect. Must review full narrative-> https://biblehub.com/greek/2124.htm - - Hebrew 3372 -Fear, reverence, awe speaks of an attitude of awe-filled reverence that may include trembling before God’s majesty but always presses toward loving obedience. It can describe dread of judgment (Genesis 20:11) or the glad worship that springs from recognizing the LORD’s holiness (Psalm 2:11). The word therefore gathers together emotion, intellect, and will: the heart is struck by God’s glory, the mind acknowledges His authority, and the life aligns with His ways. ( most blazingly DO NOT exude this- hence, churches will BE more filled then empty, on that great and dreadful day- just watch) Covenant framework At Sinai the LORD united fear and grace. “Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him will be before you, to keep you from sinning’” (Exodus 20:20). Far from paralyzing Israel, yir’ah protected the relationship by driving the nation to faithful obedience (Deuteronomy 5:29; 10:12-13). Judges were to rule “in the fear of the LORD, faithfully and wholeheartedly” (2 Chronicles 19:9), because covenant justice flows from covenant reverence. - Wisdom literature emphasis Proverbs lifts yir’ah to a climatic principle of epistemology and ethics: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). It is “a fountain of life” (Proverbs 14:27) that “adds length to life” (Proverbs 10:27) and “brings riches and honor” (Proverbs 22:4). Qoheleth reduces life’s complexities to one charge: “Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Wisdom therefore is not merely intellectual but relational, grounded in submissive awe. - 41 occurrences "41"? "REVERENCE points to RELEASE"! https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3374.htm - - And quite God-incidentally, Tomorrow is April 18th- A DAY of "Revere-nce" Paul Revere made his famous midnight ride on the night of April 18–19, 1775. He left Boston around 10–11 p.m. on April 18 to warn John Hancock and Samuel Adams in Lexington that British troops were marching to arrest them and seize militia supplies in Concord. ------- Let this be YOUR final warning, your cry from Paul Revere, 251 years later, STILL ringing out!! Only, it AINT British It's SATAN British? Britain? It is quite probable that the description of Britain given by the Greek writer Diodorus Siculus in the first century BC derives wholly or largely from Pytheas. What is of particular interest is that he calls the island "Pretannia" (Greek "Prettanikē"), that is "the island of the Pretani, or Priteni". "Pretani" is a Celtic word that probably means "the painted ones" or "the tattooed folk", - The "MARKED"ones!!! They're coming alright! Read Luke 21:24-36 ------- All Glory, honor and Thanks be to God and the Holy Ghost Praise Jesus Share Post Encourage Educate Cooperate Help Save Souls -- What Do Jesus Christ and Paul Revere Have in Common? Answer: A sermon on a mount. Paul Revere’s message (“The British are coming”) was considerably shorter than Jesus’ (“The kingdom is coming”). And, while Paul’s words were significant in regard to the future of our country, they can’t compare to the timeless truths that “King” Jesus (which is how Matthew’s gospel portrays him) spoke in his “Inaugural Address” to his people, Israel. https://thelivingtruthfellowship.org/audio/what-do-jesus-christ-and-paul-revere-have-in-common/ WAKE UP people Help WAKE UP others
