Paul shook the snake off into the fire

Paul shook the snake off into the fire>



Acts 28:3-6
3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.”

Enoch was on the Earth for 365 years and the Lord took him unto another height in the Year 987. The number 365 signified the future astronomical occurrence would take place and eventually it did in the life time of Joshua. In the year 2709-10 or around there, the Earth’s orbit changed from 364 days to 365 days and a few hour overlap. This was essential so that about 3,300 years later the years would be divisible by 7 like it was for the times of Adam to Moses and to some extent to the times of Joshua. According to the Book of Joshua "the sun stood still and the moon stayed (Joshua 10:13).

From the times of Joshua, the years accrued extra days that build up into extra years.  Therefore, year 2000 is equal to the Enochian Year 6006 and in deducting the 11 extra years from 6006; the year 2000 is equals to a period between 5,994 years: 273 Days and 5,994Years: 364 Days (estimated times).

Presented below are the Enochian Months in number and name along with months having a particular name cited from the Bible:

 “When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”   “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”   [Matthew 16:13-16]

"You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

Everything hinges on getting the answer to this question right: Who is Jesus Christ?
The crowds knew Jesus was unusual, but nobody could figure out why. Their best explanation—he was a rerun of one of their heroes—fell short of the truth.
It matters because if Jesus is just the latest in a long line, then we’ll always be waiting for someone else to come along and upstage him. His relevance would diminish over time, and his importance would fade. But since Jesus is the One and Only, we cannot afford to make any mistakes in our relationship with him.

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Our Lord pronounced a blessing on Simon. The fisherman had not arrived at this concept of the Lord Jesus through intellect or native wisdom; it had been supernaturally revealed to him by God the Father. But the Son had something important to say to Peter also. So Jesus added, “And I  also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”  The question is,”Who are what is the rock?” Part of the problem arises from the fact that Greek words from Peter and for rock are similar, the meanings are different. The first, petros, means a stone or loose rock; the second, petra, means a rock, such as a rocky ledge.
So what Jesus really said was “..you are Peter(stone), and on this rock I will build My church.” He did not say He would build His church on a stone but on a rock.

If Peter is not the rock, then what is? If we stick to the context, the obvious answer is that the rock is Peter’s confession that Christ is the Son of the living God, the truth on which the church is founded. Ephesians 2:20 teaches that the church is built on Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone.  Christ is spoken of as a Rock in 1 Corinthians 10:4.

Jesus took up their old Hebrew illustration—rock, always the symbol of Deity—and said, “Upon God Himself—Christ, the Son of the living God—I will build my church.”

Dear friend, do you believe in the truth that God revealed to Peter, that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God? Everything hinges on getting the answer to this question right: Who is Jesus Christ?



 

"The stone the builders rejected
   has become the cornerstone"

 “Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:“‘The stone the builders rejected
   has become the cornerstone’? Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
[Luke 20:17-19]

“So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.  Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”   [1 Kings 18:20-21]

---

"How long will you waver between two opinions?"

  King Ahab went to meet Elijah and accused him of being a trouble-maker for Israel, not realizing that the man of God was one of the best friends Israel ever had. Not fearing for his own life, Elijah answered Ahab fearlessly and accusingly. He blamed the king for mixing the worship of Jehovah with Baal-worship and challenged him to assemble his idolatrous prophets for a contest on Mount Carmel to determine who was the true God.

Addressing the assembled representative of Israel, Elijah accused them of wavering between two opinions; they should choose either the Lord or Baal. Then the contest began. Two bulls were to be killed and laid on kindling wood. Elijah would represent the Lord, whereas four hundred and fifty of Ahab’s prophets would represent Baal. The God who answered by fire would be acknowledged as the true God.
The prophets of Baal cried out to their god and hopped around the altar from morning till noon. Elijah mocked them with helpful excuses for Baal’s failure to answer. In desperation they cut themselves with knives and lances and raved on until the time of the evening sacrifice.  But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.

Then Elijah built an altar of twelve stone in the name of the Lord, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Then to eliminate any possibility that the altar might be ignited in any way other than by a miracle, he saturated the oxen and the wood with twelve barrels of water.

At the time of the evening sacrifice, Elijah prayed that God would reveal himself by sending fire from heaven. Immediately the fire of the Lord fell from heaven, consuming not only the sacrifice but also the wood and the stones and the dust, and the water in the trench around the altar. The people were thus compelled to acknowledge the Lord as the real God.

Only after the people acknowledged that Jehovah was God and executed the prophets of Baal could the rain come. Confession of sin and obedience to the Word of God are the steps to blessing.




The God who answers by Fire

 Elijah on Mount Carmel


  “At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command...Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.  When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The LORD—he is God! The LORD—he is God!”  [1 Kings 18:36-39]
