David purchased the threshing floor from Araunah the Jebusite and set it aside to build the Temple upon. Solomon later built the Temple on this site. David bought the temple mount 2 Samuel 24:21–24 (NLT) “Why have you come, my lord the king?” Araunah asked. David replied, “I have come to buy your threshing floor and to build an altar to the LORD there, so that he will stop the plague.” 22 “Take it, my lord the king, and use it as you wish,” Araunah said to David. “Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and you can use the threshing boards and ox yokes for wood to build a fire on the altar. 23 I will give it all to you, Your Majesty, and may the LORD your God accept your sacrifice.” 24 But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the LORD my God that have cost me nothing.” So David paid him fifty pieces of silver for the threshing floor and the oxen. Solomon built the Temple here 2 Chronicles 3:1–2 (NLT) So Solomon began to build the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to David, his father. The Temple was built on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the site that David had selected. 2 The construction began in midspring, during the fourth year of Solomon’s reign. 4 DOME OF THE ROCK—this Islamic shrine on the Temple Mount is the third holiest place in the Muslim world. It was built in 691 AD to commemorate Muhammad's night journey to heaven. Jesus foresaw this Matthew 23:37–38 (NLT) “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. 38 And now, look, your house is abandoned and desolate." Will the Third Temple be built on this spot maybe to the north? Revelation 11:1–2 (NLT) Then I was given a measuring stick, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers. 2 But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months." WAILING WALL also called the Western Wall, this small section of the western foundation of the Temple Mount expanded by Herod the Great. People from all over the world visit this special place that was opened again to Jews and Gentiles on June 6, 1967 during the Six Days War when Israel occupied East Jerusalem for the first time in almost 2,000 years. The Wailing Wall is divided into separate men and women's court for prayer. By tradition many people place small pieces of paper with written prayers into the cracks of the stones. Above your head, growing out of the wall is hyssop which was an herb that the Lord instructed the children of Israel to use in applying the blood of the Passover Lamb to the doors of their homes. Hyssop Exodus 12:22 (NLT) Drain the blood into a basin. Then take a bundle of hyssop branches and dip it into the blood. Brush the hyssop across the top and sides of the doorframes of your houses. And no one may go out through the door until morning. 5 NOTES ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ 6 YAD VASHEM—Israel's Holocaust Memorial. Yad Vashem in Hebrew means "a memorial and a name" so that the victims of the holocaust will never be forgotten. We will see the Holocaust History Museum and explore the grounds including the Avenue of the Righteous Among the Nations and the Children's Memorial. This is unlike any other holocaust memorial in the world. Origin of the name Yad Vashem Isaiah 56:5 (NLT) I will give them—within the walls of my house— a memorial and a name [Heb. "Yad Vashem"] far greater than sons and daughters could give. For the name I give them is an everlasting one. It will never disappear! RABBINICAL TUNNELS—These tunnels trace the western wall foundation under other buildings above from the northern edge of the Wailing Wall to the northwest corner of the foundation of the Temple Mount built by King Herod the Great (73-4 BC). In 20 BC, Herod began planning for the reconstruction or remodeling of Zerubbabel's Temple (535 BC with the returning of the exiles from Babylonian captivity). Some of the splendor of Herod's Temple can be seen. DAVIDSON MUSEUM & SOUTHERN TEMPLE STEPS—the remains of Robinson's

  • Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth
    Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth THROUGH DR. DANIEL G. SAMUELS This online version published by Divine Truth, USA http://www.divinetruth.com/ version 1.0 Introduction to the Online Edition For those already familiar with the messages received through James Padgett , the Samuels channelings are a blessing in that they provide continuity and integration between the teachings of the Bible and the revelations received through Mr. Padgett. Samuels’ mediumship differed from Padgett’s in that it is much more filled with detail and subtlety, which makes it a perfect supplement to the “broad strokes” that Padgett’s mediumship painted with. However, with this greater resolution of detail comes greater risk of error, and it is true that we have found factual as well as conceptual errors in some of Samuel’s writings. There are also a number of passages where the wording is perhaps not as clear as we would have wished – where it appears that there was something of a “tug-of-war” going on between Samuels’ and Jesus’ mind. In upcoming editions we will attempt to notate these passages, but for now the reader is advised (as always) to read these messages with a prayerful heart, asking that their Celestial guides assist them in understanding the true intended meaning of these passages. The following is an excerpt from a message received from Jesus regarding the accuracy and clarity of Dr. Samuels’ mediumship: Received through KS 6-10-92 I am here now to write...and we are working with what is known as a "catch 22" on earth at this time, which means that it's very difficult to convince someone about the accuracy and clarity of a medium -through the use of mediumistic means.

  • How Can We Know the Way?
    How Can We Know the Way? Sermon for the Fifth Sunday of Easter The Ninth Sunday of Our Pandemic Crisis May 10, 2020 Bethany Congregational Church, United Church of Christ Foxborough, Massachusetts Rev. Bruce A. Greer, Interim Pastor Text: John 14:5 “Thomas said to [Jesus]: ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’” I. When Thomas asked Jesus “How can we know the way?” he wasn’t asking for directions. No Google Map or GPS device could answer his question. We ask questions like this when we are disoriented, when our resources are uncertain and the outcome is unknown. A question like this cries out for guidance and assurance, not directions from Point A to Point B. Put yourself in the context of the question. Jesus gathered his disciples for what would be their last supper.1 His death was imminent, so he said to his disciples: “Do not let your hearts be trou- bled. Believe in God, believe also in me.”2 He assured them of God’s presence and guidance on their way forward. He assumed that the disciples already knew this. Throughout John’s Gospel, we find the disciples consistently confused by Jesus, repeatedly miss- ing the point. What did Jesus mean? Where was he going? What will happen to him and to their movement? It was an anxious time filled with tension and concern. You can feel it in Thomas’s question: “Lord we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”3 We’ve all been in situations like this, wondering about the way forward.

    Pastor Gregory P. Fryer Immanuel Lutheran Church, New York, NY 2/8/2015, The Fifth Sunday after Epiphany Isaiah 40:21-31, Mark 1:29-39 Waiting for the Lord In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 30Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her. 31And [Jesus] came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them. (Mark 1:30-31, RSV) Saint Jerome, preaching on this text back in 400 AD, made the perfect pastoral point about it. He starts off like this: O that he would come to our house… Jesus! That is who we mean: O that Jesus would come to our house. I have such deep desire for that as I think of the houses and hospital rooms of our people. If Jesus were to come, then things would be okay. As he took the hand of Simon Peter’s mother-in-law and lifted her up to health, so I hope and pray that Jesus will come again soon to this old world of ours, go around and enter into the house of our people and make them well. And not just the people of Immanuel, but all the people. O that Jesus would walk into the house of the weary and suffering people of this world, take them by the hand, lift them up and let them run and jump like deer, like when we were young! So, that’s how Jerome begins his passage.

  • 1 Where Is Calvary? Mark 15:22 / 9-20-17 / Wed
    1 WHERE IS CALVARY? MARK 15:22 / 9-20-17 / WED INTRODUCTION A. All four gospels give the name of the place Jesus was crucified. 1. Three call it “Golgotha”—Mark 15:22 (Matt. 27:33; John 19:17) 2. All four say it was “the place of the skull.” a. “Golgotha” is an Aramaic word for “a bare skull”. b. Our English version is a transliteration of this Aramaic word. Cleve Haley ! 9/19/2017 6:25 AM c. Only Luke calls it “Calvary” in the KJV.—Luke 23:33 KJV Comment [1]: B. What other clues does the Bible give? 1. First, it was outside the city—John 19:20 and Hebrews 13:12. 2. Second, it was near a well-traveled road—Matt. 27:39; Mark 15:21, 29-30. 3. Third, it was probably on a hill because it was visible from a distance—Mark 15:40. 4. Fourth, it was near a garden that had a new tomb—John 19:41. I. THE TRADITIONAL SITE IS THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY SEPULCHRE. A. This church has a long standing tradition dating back to the time of Constantine, the first Roman Emperor to profess Christianity (A.D. 325). B. According to that tradition, Constantine sent his mother, Helena, to Jerusalem in A.D. 326 to locate holy sites of the Christian faith. C. In 135 A.D. Christians in Judea revolted against Roman rule. The Emperor at that time was Hadrian. He subsequently ordered a temple to Venus also known as Aphrodite be built over Golgotha.

  • PSALM 16: Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Golgotha, the “Garden Tomb,” and the Glory
    PSALM 16: Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Golgotha, the “Garden Tomb,” and the Glory Gordon Franz Introduction On occasions I teach a class on Christian Apologetics. The first assignment I give the students is to read through the entire Book of Acts and note each encounter that believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have with the unsaved in the book. The students are to make a list with: (1) the Christians who are doing the witnessing, (2) the unbelievers bring witnessed to, (3) what the apologetics are that the believers are using, (4) and what the response of the unsaved is to their message. The two main apologetics used by the Early Church in the Book of Acts are: first, the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ; and second, the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Psalm 16 is quoted on two occasions in the Book of Acts in order to demonstrate that the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus was the fulfillment of this psalm, predicted almost a thousand years before it happened. The first time the psalm is quoted is in Acts 2, Peter’s sermon on the day of Shavuot (Pentecost). The second time it is quoted is in Acts 13 when the Apostle Paul preached in the synagogue of Psidia Antioch on his first missionary journey. Superscription The superscription of Psalm 16 reads, michtam le David. The verbal root for the word “michtam” is to inscribe, to engrave, or write, like on a stele. One gets the impression of an inscription on a victory stele. A stele is an upright stone slab or pillar that has an inscription or some kind of design on it that serves as a monument for propaganda purposes or for veneration.

The Psalm begins by stating the “Shiggayon of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a שָׁר ַ לי הֺוָה עַל-דִּבְרֵי-כוּשׁ בֶּן-יְמִינִי: O Lord my God, in You 7:1 ב יְ הֺוָה אֱהַי בְּ חָסִיתִי ִ הוֹשׁיעֵנִי מִכָּל- רֺדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵנִי: Benjamite.” David states I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me, (NASB) and then states to the Lord if He does not save him, his pursuers “will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.” David then turns and questions whether it is because of injustice or iniquity that occurred O Lord my God, if I have done 7:3 ד יְ הֺוָה אֱהַי אִם-עָשִֺיתִי זֺא ת אִם-יֶשׁ-עָוֶל בְּכַפָּי: at his own hand saying If I have rewarded evil 7:4 ה אִם-גָּמַלְתִּי שׁוֹלְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צוֹרְרִי רֵיקָם: ,this, If there is injustice in my hands ו י ַ ִרדֺּף אוֹיֵב | נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְי ְ ִרמֺס ,to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample 7:5 לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבוֹדִי | לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶלָה: my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust.
