Daniel 3Greetings, if you would like to support Free Gospel Church and our ministries, you can make a donation at FreeGospelAssembly.com.  Thank you for listening. If this message has blessed you please share it, that others may hear! God bless you.Tale of the three Hebrew magistrates in Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon where theKing was Divine and Generous to His captives: even gave some very importantresponsibilities in his kingdom, like Daniel (Chapters 2-3). And not everyone in thekingdom was happy with this. Therefore intrigue results around the universal decree to worship a sacred statue of the Divine King. This call was applicable to all people, even the Hebrews. This was not considered an unreasonable request from the generouspotentate in pagan societies, even in Jesus day, but it put them in conflict with the First Commandment and They went from a comfortable place to a dangerous place inBabylon.

On Thursday March 12th, 2020 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review and discuss "The Grand Key of Solomon the King" (2009) and other works translated by Mamdouh Al Daye otherwise known as Nineveh Shadrach. Nineveh is a Golden Dawn adept whom we have known since 1998 when he sent us a copy of his first book "The Magical Tome of a Divine King;" this was also a Solomonic grimoire in Arabic called "The Medicine of Solomon" which was eventually pirated and became "The Book of Smokeless Fire." "The Grand Key of Solomon the King" is commonly referred to as "Al Ajnas" and is attributed to Asaph Ben Berechiam in the Ishtar Publishing edition, probably to help Solomonize the work. Arabic editions would be attributed to Asif ibn Barkhiya, an Arab version of the same legendary Jewish sage of Solomon's court who supposedly wrote the book. It dates back to the 12th century of the common era. Not quite as old as Picatrix but old enough to make it venerable on the magician's book shelf. I'll be joined by V.H.Frater SithMeth who has some thoughts on "The Book of Smokeless Fire." So if you would like to spend an hour in the study of forbidden and forgotten lore, sit on your magick carpet, rub your magick lamp and join us.

The Delight Of The Divine King

Organization: Foundation Christian Ministries Speaker: Pastor Chris Pena City: Bastrop State: Tx

Often Joseph seems to fade into the background of the Christmas story…but if we look closer we will see that he is a very special and powerful part of the life of Christ. It is through Joseph that Jesus is given an earthly father to raise Him but also a spiritual heritage that places Him in the line of Kings fulfilling Biblical prophecy. Join Melissa for Lesson 3 as we look at the Birth of Christ and see all the gifts waiting for us in the events that led up to the coming of Emmanuel.

Colossians 1:15-23 Pastor Seth Norris

Daniel 7: 13-1413 “I kept looking in the night visions,And behold, with the clouds of heavenOne like a son of man was coming,And He came up to the Ancient of DaysAnd was presented before Him.14 And to Him was given dominion,Honor, and a kingdom,So that all the peoples, nations, and populations of all languagesMight serve Him.His dominion is an everlasting dominionWhich will not pass away;And His kingdom is oneWhich will not be destroyed.

Jeremiah 31:31-3431 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers on the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. 33 “For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember.”

Today's passage from John 5 centers us on the truths that Jesus is truly divine and truly our sovereign King.

The world population has forgotten that God has appointed a Divine King to forever reign upon this planet. This King is His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. This hostile planet hates the idea of being ruled by God, therefore rebellion against God has been revealed as its atmosphere all throughout this study on the end of the age. The events leading up to the apocalyptic unveiling of King Jesus climax in what is commonly referred to as the Battle of Armageddon. This message presents us with an understanding of the major events surrounding this hellish revolt against the Lordship of Christ and the battle against the city from which He will rule, Jerusalem. In the end, a mighty river dries up, armies of the world converge outside of Jerusalem, Jesus and His glorious army appear…and the birds of the skies are fed with the results of the battle. This is the war of all wars - and it is ended in a blistering moment from Christ.

Teaching on Mark 15-16-21

Palm Sunday is tied to the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This entry is a proclamation of Jesus being the divine, righteous, good King that the people need and that we need. When we think about our daily lives, what I would call an “ordinary Monday,” do we take time to stop and remember that Jesus is King? Oftentimes through the course of an ordinary Monday we don't think about Jesus being our Divine King, or that he is our Righteous King, because we see the ordinary Monday as just that, ordinary. What if we thought to remind ourselves that it is Jesus who has placed us where we are and with the people, who may annoy or frustrate us, so that we can experience more of his glorious grace? What if we parented in such a way of not leaning on our own righteousness but on the righteousness of Christ? That when we engage our child, our student, our grown children, our grandchildren, we don't try to impose our own righteousness on them but instead point them, walk with them, or run them to Jesus. When brokenness arises in us, or when we are made aware of the areas of brokenness in us, instead of running from Jesus thinking you have to clean yourself up, rather we remind ourselves of our good King Jesus. Letting Jesus into your brokenness and letting him clean you up. We have a King in Jesus who is divine, righteous, and good. Let's run to that King.

In our January 9th service, we continue our series in the book of Matthew and our band leads us in worship.

On entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.  They prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.   Matthew 2:11“Epiphany” means manifestation.  And the “Epiphany of the Lord” is Jesus' manifestation not only to these three Magi from the East, but it's also a symbolic but real manifestation of the Christ to the whole world.  These Magi, traveling from a foreign and non-Jewish nation, reveal that Jesus came for all people and all are called to adore Him.These Magi were “wise men” who studied the stars and were aware of the Jewish belief that a Messiah was coming.  They would have been versed in much of the wisdom of the day and would have been intrigued by the Jewish belief in the Messiah.God used what they were familiar with to call them to adore the Christ.  He used a star.  They understood the stars and when they saw this new and unique star over Bethlehem they realized that something special was happening.  So the first lesson we take from this for our own lives is that God will use what is familiar to us to call us to Himself.  Look for the “star” that God is using to call you.  It's closer than you may think.A second thing to note is that the Magi fell prostrate before the Christ Child.  They laid their lives down before Him in complete surrender and adoration.  They set a perfect example for us.  If these astrologers from a foreign land could come and adore Christ in such a profound way, we must do the same.  Perhaps you could try literally lying down prostrate in prayer this day, in imitation of the Magi, or at least do so in your heart through prayer.  Adore Him with a complete surrender of your life.Lastly, the Magi bring gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  These three gifts, presented to our Lord, show that they acknowledged this Child as the Divine King who would die to save us from sin.  Gold is for a King, frankincense is a burnt offering to God, and myrrh is used for one who would die.  Thus, their adoration is grounded in the truths of who this Child is.  If we are to adore Christ properly, we must also honor Him in this threefold way.Reflect, today, upon these Magi and see them as a symbol of what you are called to do.  You are called from the foreign place of this world to seek out the Messiah.  What is God using to call you to Himself?  When you discover Him, do not hesitate to acknowledge the full truth of who He is, lying prostrate before Him in complete and humble submission.Lord, I love You and adore You.  I lay my life before You and surrender all.  You are my Divine King and Savior.  My life is Yours. (Pray three times and then prostrate yourself before the Lord) Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2022 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

December 26, 2021 AM, Philippians 2:9-11.Last week we pondered the doctrine of the incarnation— the in-flesh-ment of Jesus Christ in which He took to His divine person and nature a human nature as well. In so doing, He left the glorious place of open magnificence of His deity beside the Father. However, he did not merely come to join humanity as an exalted person. He came not as great king or priest, but rather as slave subjected to the most tortuous form of death then in use. If He did that, how much more should we be willing to lower ourselves in service to the Divine King? By saying this, the apostle Paul has exhorted the believers in Philippi to remove selfish ambition and conceit from their motives. Instead, they were to humbly treat others as better than themselves and to watch out for the interests of others and not just themselves. (2:3-4). This would propel them along toward the goal of being of one accord and one mind (2:2). We too need to work very diligently, by God's grace and through trust in Him, at putting aside selfish ambitions and pride and exercising true humility and concern for others. We turn to the next three verses. Unlike last week when the passage modeled a trait (humility) for us to cultivate in our character, we cannot be like Christ in this way. Instead, we are called to worship Jesus Christ so as to honor the Father. If you do not honor the Son, you do not honor the Father. A. If we are to do all things to the glory of God, this is one way in which we can do so—to humbly receive Christ as sovereign Lord, and confess Him as such. B. Christians echo that honor of God every time they speak and sing of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and every time they live accordingly. C. Finally, in following Jesus's example of humility, we can expect that we will please God and receive an appropriate reward from Him. Remembering that those who humble themselves will be exalted will help us even when the humbling is beyond what we feel is fair or right. Our Scripture reading was found in Ezekiel 20:27-49.

Who Were the Magi and What Was Their Purpose?  The Gospel of Matthew is the only one of the four gospels that gives an account of the visit by the Magi or wise men from the East. Although Christmas traditions tell the story of the three wise men coming from the East to present their gifts to the baby Jesus, the scriptures do not tell that account. The Magi were highly educated scholars and astronomers who were part of a religious sect. They came from the East (Media, Persia, Assyria, and Babylonia). They came based on the Jewish prophecies of the birth of the King of the Jews.Several hundred years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Daniel was the leader of the Magi or magicians, also known as the wise men. He had favor with the King of the empire at that time because God was with him and he was able to interpret dreams. Daniel was the wisest of all of the wise men of his time. This was the same Daniel that had been thrown into the lion's den and came out unharmed. Daniel prophesied that a virgin would give birth to a Son, and they would name Him Emmanuel (God with us). The teachings of Daniel would have been passed down so that the wise men during Jesus's birth would have recognized the signs in the sky. The wise men traveled to Israel as an entourage carrying valuable gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to present to Jesus. They had seen the star and knew the season for Jesus' birth. They traveled to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”  King Herod and those in Jerusalem were greatly troubled about this announcement. King Herod called his chief priests and scribes and asked them about this question. The religious leaders told King Herod that the scriptures state that the Messiah would be born in the town of Bethlehem. Herod met with the wise men and told them to go to Bethlehem and after they find the child to come back and let him know so he could also go and worship the child.The wise men left for Bethlehem and the star went before them and stood over the area of where the child was located. Jesus was no longer a baby in the manger, but a young Child under two years of age. The wise men and the entourage were extremely overjoyed to see Jesus and they brought their gifts and worshiped Him. The gifts were very valuable and included gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  The gifts were highly valuable, practical, and symbolic. Gold symbolizes Christ's divinity, frankincense, a fragrant oil, is used for worship, and myrrh, another oil/perfume is used in embalming a dead body. Jesus was the Divine King who left His divinity to be born as a man. He was also the sacrifice for mankind and came to die to pay for our sins and put us back into a relationship with God the Father.The wise men were warned in a dream not to return to Herod. They went home another way. Joseph was also warned in a dream to take his family to Egypt because Herod would be coming to kill Jesus. Joseph immediately took his family at night and left Bethlehem for Egypt. The family had money to travel and remained in Egypt until King Herod had died.King Herod expected a visit from the wise men but realized that they were not coming to see him. He was so angry because he wanted to kill Jesus. There was no way that he would allow another king to take his place. He was a ruthless leader who killed his own sons, siblings, and anyone who would threaten his position as King. He immediately ordered all male children under the age of two in Bethlehem to be killed. This was a horrible and sad event.When Herod died Joseph had another dream where the angel of the Lord told him to take his family back to Israel. Those who wanted Jesus dead had all died. Joseph took his family back but settled in Nazareth. The account of the wise men is important to s

Matthew 1:1-17 Series: Advent 2020 #3 # Introduction Christians do not believe reasonable things, at least as the world defines reasonable, and often even what *religious* people call reasonable. Jesus Christ, God's Son in flesh and blood, is not reasonable. His existence is a scandal. Many Jews anticipated the promised Messiah, but they stumbled over Jesus' claim to be that divine King and they killed Him for it. The fact of His crucifixion caused other Jews to stumble over Jesus, because their Messiah couldn't be a crucified Messiah. Jesus was a rock of offense (1 Peter 2:8; 1 Corinthians 1:23). Not only Jews, but also many Gentiles had their own religious expectations and considered the word of the cross foolish (1 Corinthians 1:23). What kind of "god" was this? The scandal and offense and foolishness began not with Jerusalem but Bethlehem. The Word lifted up (John 8:28; 12:32-33) started with the Word come down, the Word become flesh. The doctrine of Jesus' divinity taking on humanity is called the hypostatic union. As our historic catechisms confess, Jesus is “true God from true God” and “became truly human” (Nicene Creed, AD 325). > one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence, not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ (Definition of Chalcedon, AD 451) In the first few centuries this was simply unbelievable. Some argued that Jesus wasn't really a man but just *seemed* to be one (Docetism), or that Jesus wasn't really God (Arianism), or that there were two separate persons in Jesus (Nestorianism), or that after the incarnation there was only the one nature (Eutyches). The hypostatic union was too much of a scandal for many to handle. Christmas has been causing idealogical and worldview arguments since it started. The incarnation of God (the second Person of three Persons in the Trinity, equally God but not the Father or the Spirit) is staggering enough. As Athanasius pointed out in his book _On the Incarnation_, the Son was still holding the universe together while His limbs were being knit together in His mother's womb. But the divine-human union of Jesus' nature is not the scandal that Matthew started with. As we've seen the past two Sundays of Advent sermons, the first seventeen verses of the New Testament point to God's promises fulfilled over generations of *waiting*. The fulfillment came in the coming of the Christ; my boss is not just a Jewish carpenter. *The King was born!* As we come for a third focus on the genealogy we see that Jesus' family tree is a royal mess. The "book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ" (verse 1), the "account of the origin" (NIV fn), the "record" (NASB) could very well be called the original Christmas naughty list. The birth of Christ is filled with inconveniences for Jesus' immediate family, Joseph traveling with his pregnant fiancé where there were mask mandates in the inn, and no room (Luke 2:1-7). But Jesus' extended family is filled with immoralities. It's not just the bit players either. The headliner names, Abraham and David, were not mere mythical figures in Jewish history, they were mortal and sinful men. Abraham, who is the father of the Jews, was *not* a Jew himself. Abram was from Ur, chosen by God to become the father of many nations, including the nation of Israel. Though Abraham believed God, he also disobeyed God, as Genesis records that twice he lied about Sarah being only his sister to cover his butt. David was also chosen by God and anointed as King of Israel, a "friend of God." Also, while being king, David disobeyed God by taking a census (2 Samuel 24:1-17) that led to death by pestilence for 70,000 of his citizens. *These* are Jesus' relatives. We don't have records about all of these fathers, but there are some other big, well-known names. Isaac lied about Rebekah, Jacob lied and stole his brother's birthright and played favorites with his wives and sons. Later on, Solomon took many wives for himself and did most of what the Lord told kings *not* to do. Rehoboam oppressed the people. As I said last week, Jeconiah was such a wicked man that the Lord promised that no son of his would ever sit on the throne (Jeremiah 22:30). Someone could argue that this is an unfair selection, a needless amount of attention on the sins of these men. After all, Matthew moves through the list without pointing out every dirty deed. That is true, sort of, except for two things that make the third point for our advent consideration. Waiting on God's promises, for a King who would rule like the light of dawn, points us to the *grace* in the promises and *grace* from the King. The genealogy is a message of waiting, a message of the King, a message of *grace*. God called Abram from paganism. God called David as the youngest of eight and, at the time, the ruddy runt. Neither Abram or David *deserved* God's attention or His promises, let alone God's forgiveness after their sins. Matthew is selective, not just selecting through Joseph's line (rather than Mary's as in Luke 3) through David (for sake of the royal lineage) and from Abraham (unlike Luke who works backwards all the way back to Adam). Matthew has also selected three sets of 14, with apparently a few steps edited along the way compared to other genealogies. But what Matthew *does* include that makes the grace the inescapable point of the genealogy are *five women*, and the majority are women of ill repute. Jewish genealogies rarely included mother's at all; Luke's does not mention one, not even Mary. Matthew has five, but not Sarah or Rebekah or Rachel, but prostitutes and pagans. Four times Matthew says "[Name] the father of [name] *by* [woman]," and the fifth woman gets her own construction. This is a list full of grace. ## Tamar (verse 3) "Judah the father of Perez and Zerah *by Tamar*." If you were a scribe charged to write the royal record you just would not do it this way. All we really need to know is that Judah was the father of Perez and Perez the father of Hezron. Zerah is superfluous for the genealogy; no son of his is mentioned. And *by Tamar* brings back all sorts of sordid memories. Tamar had been married to two of Judah's *sons*, Er and Onan, who were so “wicked in the sight of the LORD” that the LORD put them to death (Genesis 38:7, 10). Tamar was Judah's daughter-in-law. But her husbands died, and Judah refused to give her the next brother, Shelah, for sake of the levirate marriage. So Tamar dressed up as a prostitute, deceived her father-in-law, took his signet and cord and staff as a pledge on a goat which was the price of sex. When it was told to Judah that Tamar was pregnant, he prepared to have her killed for the immorality (verse 24), until she presented his staff and proved that Judah was the father (verse 26). Judah said, “She is more righteous than I,” but I'm not sure that “righteous” is the word we would use to summarize the affair. ## Rahab (verse 5) "Salmon the father of Boaz *by Rahab*." There's nothing that stands out about Rahab being in the genealogy other than that she's also a woman, *and* a Canaanite, *and* a prostitute by trade. "The prostitute" is the inspired epitaph given to her in the book of Joshua (see 2:1 and 6:25). Hers is the story of receiving and hiding and lying about the two spies sent out by Joshua. She had heard that the LORD had delivered Israel in the Red Sea and was giving Israel the land. She saw the panic among her neighbors, they were melting away (Joshua 2:9). > Our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the LORD your God, he is God in the heavens above and on earth beneath. (Joshua 2:11) She believed the LORD more than many of the Israelites did. Yet she and her father's house were outsiders. They received great grace in order not to be destroyed with Jericho, but to be invited in to live in Israel (6:25). She herself, with her sinful past, was taken by Salmon as a wife. She didn't belong, and yet here she is. ## Ruth (verse 5) "Boaz the father of Obed *by Ruth*." She has an entire book of the Bible in her name. It is a great, short, true story, a rom-cov (romantic covenant). We rightly appreciate her loyalty to her mother-in-law, her willingness to work in the fields, her submission to do what she was told, her humility in seeking the help (and redemption) of Boaz. When she said, "Your people shall be my people, and your God my God" (Ruth 1:16), we love her conversion and commitment. But she was still not a Jew. What's more, she was a *Moabite*, and Moabites were one of the most bitter and hated enemies of Israel. > No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the LORD. Even to the tenth generation, non of them may enter the assembly of the LORD forever (Deuteronomy 23:3). Those in the line of Moab were vicious toward the Israelites. Yet Ruth not only came along with Naomi and "came to Bethlehem" (Ruth 1:22), she was the great-grandmother to David the king and part of the Divine King's line. ## [Bathsheba] (verse 6) "David was the father of Solomon *by the wife of Uriah*." There is no polite way to read this part of the genealogy. I have said that David is perhaps the *key* to the list. He is mentioned at the beginning and the end, he is mentioned twice in middle, he is the ancestor of Joseph (legally) and Mary (physically). Even the fact that the generations are counted in fourteens seems to point to David by way of numbering his name according to Hebrew gematria. He is "David the *king*." And there is no way to read the second part of verse 6 without thinking about David the *killer*. Bathsheba does not even get named, and Matthew didn't make a mistake. Bathsheba is referenced, with a Greek article; "David begat the Solomon from *the (her)* of Uriah." Matthew could have written her name, but naming Uriah means we have another non-Israelite, a Hittite. Thought Bathsheba herself was a Jew, she married a non-Jew. This would have been a big enough problem if Uriah had died of some other cause; it would be weird that David married this man's widow. But David made her a widow, and that was after making her an adulterer. These sins of David were not pre-conversion, as we might wish. David was anointed as the king, he had it all, which is part of Nathan's prophetic story (2 Samuel 12:1ff). It was gross sin. It led to systemic problems in his household and in the nation. And *this* is the cream of the kingly crop from which Jesus came? There is no other emphasis here than *grace*. ## Mary (verse 16) "Joseph the husband of Mary, *of whom Jesus was born*, who is called Christ." We ought not take for granted that Mary is named in the genealogy; as I said already, Luke does not name her. Though she is a vital part of the Christmas story, and we'd assume worth mentioning, Luke simply says, Jesus "being the son (was was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli" (Luke 3:23). Luke has nothing against Mary. Luke records much more of Mary's part in the story than Matthew, including her response of belief to the angel and her response of praise to the Lord, called her *Magnificat* in Luke 1:46-55. Mary knew the Scriptures, she understood her part in the great scheme of generational promises, especially to Abraham (Luke 1:55). She knew that she was #blessed (Luke 1:48). She also knew that she was a virgin (Luke 1:34). It seems likely that she was a pregnant, unwed teenage girl. Part of the reason she "went with haste into the hill country" (Luke 1:39) has to be because of the *shame* and humiliation that would have been cast on her, though she did not actually deserve it. One of the criticisms thrown on Jesus was that he was born illegitimately (see John 8:41), and Mary was the obvious target. Joseph was "unwilling to put her to shame" (Matthew 1:19), but he might have been the only one. Though Mary wasn't a “great” sinner, she was not sinless. She was shown mercy and grace. # Conclusion This is a naughty list up to the end. It is the original doom-scrolling; “Oh no, not him too!” There are women, there are immoral women, there are wicked kings, there are Gentiles, they are *all* of them *sinners*. Perhaps this angle on the genealogy is the angle we would prefer to gloss over; the part of the Christmas tree we turn toward the wall. Yet Matthew doesn't tuck these ladies away in an unused decoration box, he gives these ladies prime placement. This is a list that would make “religious” people flush. Matthew lays down a stumbling block right out of the gospel gate. The reason is because Jesus, the King, is the King of *grace*. It is not just majestic glory that is revealed when the King of kings was born, but merciful glory far as the curse is found. Are you a sinner? The incarnation, celebrated as Christmas, is for you. Do you have significant sin in your past? Christmas is for you. Do you have sinful, distasteful, tough relatives in your family tree or coming over to your table? Christmas is for you, and them. Do you need *grace*? Christmas is for you. Are you stumbling? Look to the end of the list! Look to Jesus. If the mask mandate (anachronistic joke) that kicked Joseph and Mary to the lowly stable with ox and ass isn't enough to temper your visions of a perfect Christmas and Hallmark holiday, then consider the genealogy. Cutting paper too short for the package you're wrapping, or finding out that the perfect gift is out of stock is the least of our problems that there is grace for. Jesus did not come to make Christmas great again, Jesus came because things were and are not great. He came not to honorable men, or to make us honorable in the eyes of the world, but to make us jealousable by His grace. ----------- ## Charge Christmas is less than fourteen days away. As you get closer and closer, the temptation is to be more and more frustrated, dealing with an increased number of bad attitudes, and I don't just mean you own. But remember, Christmas means that men are *not* basically good. Christmas means that *sinners* are in the grand scheme of things. Men are broken, the world is broken, your picture-perfect tree and table and family time is as unrealistic as Pelagianism. But the God of all grace sent His Son. This Word made flesh has His Father's glory, full of grace and truth. Celebrate gracefully. ## Benediction: > And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:10–11, ESV)

A humble surrender to the Father's will (mindset), a life of obedience in the service to others (motive) and a dependence on the Holy Spririt (mission) should radically mark "New Kingdom Living". This new life is enabled and modeled in the life and ministry of Jesus.

Date: 26 April 2020 (Morning)Title: The Divine King Introduced: Voice from wildernessPassage: Mark 1:1-8Preacher: Paul Rees

On Thursday March 12th, 2020 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review and discuss "The Grand Key of Solomon the King" (2009) and other works translated by Mamdouh Al Daye otherwise known as Nineveh Shadrach. Nineveh is a Golden Dawn adept whom we have known since 1998 when he sent us a copy of his first book "The Magical Tome of a Divine King;" this was also a Solomonic grimoire in Arabic called "The Medicine of Solomon" which was eventually pirated and became "The Book of Smokeless Fire." "The Grand Key of Solomon the King" is commonly referred to as "Al Ajnas" and is attributed to Asaph Ben Berechiam in the Ishtar Publishing edition, probably to help Solomonize the work. Arabic editions would be attributed to Asif ibn Barkhiya, an Arab version of the same legendary Jewish sage of Solomon's court who supposedly wrote the book. It dates back to the 12th century of the common era. Not quite as old as Picatrix but old enough to make it venerable on the magician's book shelf. I'll be joined by V.H.Frater SithMeth who has some thoughts on "The Book of Smokeless Fire." So if you would like to spend an hour in the study of forbidden and forgotten lore, sit on your magick carpet, rub your magick lamp and join us.  

[O]n entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.  They prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.   Matthew 2:11“Epiphany” means manifestation.  And the “Epiphany of the Lord” is Jesus’ manifestation not only to these three Magi from the East, but it’s also a symbolic but real manifestation of the Christ to the whole world.  These Magi, traveling from a foreign and non-Jewish nation, reveal that Jesus came for all people and all are called to adore Him.These Magi were “wise men” who studied the stars and were aware of the Jewish belief that a Messiah was coming.  They would have been versed in much of the wisdom of the day and would have been intrigued by the Jewish belief in the Messiah.God used what they were familiar with to call them to adore the Christ.  He used a star.  They understood the stars and when they saw this new and unique star over Bethlehem they realized that something special was happening.  So the first lesson we take from this for our own lives is that God will use what is familiar to us to call us to Himself.  Look for the “star” that God is using to call you.  It’s closer than you may think.A second thing to note is that the Magi fell prostrate before the Christ Child.  They laid their lives down before Him in complete surrender and adoration.  They set a perfect example for us.  If these astrologers from a foreign land could come and adore Christ in such a profound way, we must do the same.  Perhaps you could try literally lying down prostrate in prayer this day, in imitation of the Magi, or at least do so in your heart through prayer.  Adore Him with a complete surrender of your life.Lastly, the Magi bring gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  These three gifts, presented to our Lord, show that they acknowledged this Child as the Divine King who would die to save us from sin.  Gold is for a King, frankincense is a burnt offering to God, and myrrh is used for one who would die.  Thus, their adoration is grounded in the truths of who this Child is.  If we are to adore Christ properly, we must also honor Him in this threefold way.Reflect, today, upon these Magi and see them as a symbol of what you are called to do.  You are called from the foreign place of this world to seek out the Messiah.  What is God using to call you to Himself?  When you discover Him, do not hesitate to acknowledge the full truth of who He is, lying prostrate before Him in complete and humble submission.Lord, I love You and adore You.  I lay my life before You and surrender all.  You are my Divine King and Savior.  My life is Yours. (Pray three times and then prostrate yourself before the Lord) Jesus, I trust in You.

Unexpected Kingdom // A Divine King // Matt Metzger | 091519 by Blackhawk Church

This Sunday we’ll be reaching the center point of Mark’s gospel as we read chapter 8 verses 27-38.All through Mark’s gospel people have speculated about his identity. The narrative begins with the writer stating plainly that Jesus is the Messiah. Apart from the narrator, the only others who have identified Jesus as Messiah have been demons.In chapter eight, this all changes. We are at a turning point in the story which will lead us on through to the dramatic end. Like an artist pulling away a drape to reveal his sculpture, Jesus makes himself known to his disciples in this passage. It all begins with a crucial question: “Who do you say that I am?”.What do you believe Peter had in mind when he confessed his belief that Jesus is the Messiah? The Jewish people expected Messiah would be a divinely anointed king. If you accept that Jesus is the Messiah – the True King – what does that mean to your everyday life?Jesus goes on to describe how it is that he will do his work as Messiah and it earns him a rebuke from Peter. Why do you think Peter balked at the idea of the Divine King suffering, being rejected and ultimately killed? Why do you think Jesus called Peter “Satan”?The final irony comes when Jesus makes it clear that sacrificial love will not just be his path, but also the path of all who follow him. How is Jesus’ command to “turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross and follow me” find relevance in your life? What do you think it means to take up a cross to follow Jesus?This will, no doubt, be a challenging study.Click here to view a pdf version of the powerpoint slides for this study.

We continue our look at First Temple Theology and shift our focus to the purpose of the temple and the role the High Priest played as a Divine King. Creation has been corrupted but a sacred ritual can repair the damage and restore the land.

This Sunday we’ll be reading Mark 1:9-13, which becomes a sort of cosmic “good news/bad news” scenario. It’s not really bad news, but it’s a strange juxtaposition of a glorious moment immediately followed by a time of hardship.Life has a way of following that pattern though.As you may recall, the theme of Mark’s gospel is the declaration that Jesus is the Messiah – the Divine King and His conquest. What a Divine King’s conquest looks like is something we may picture a certain way, which Mark works to dismantle. As soon as Jesus appears in our text, he does something very strange indeed. He is baptized by John.Baptism was the ritual John was calling the people to submit to as a demonstration of their repentance and renewal in God.Why do you think Jesus took his turn with all the other people there and underwent this ritual? What does it tell us about the nature of this Divine King?After his baptism, the fabric of reality is torn open and a glimpse is given to God’s reality – and from that reality (heaven) the Holy Spirit descends on Jesus and God’s voice speaks calling Jesus His beloved Son. This is a passage that gives a tantalizing glance at the mystery of God’s Triune nature.How do you see three distinct Divine personalities and actions in this passage?Jesus, as Messiah, stands as representative of all the human race. He entered our condition in order to bring us into His condition. What is true of Jesus is true of those who believe in and follow Him.What do you believe the Father declares about you? Can you imagine God saying to you: “You are my Child, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” Let that run through your mind, and put your own name in that sentence. What is your reaction to that?Right on the heels of that amazing experience, Jesus is pushed out into the desert to face the struggles of temptation. As I said, good news/bad news. Mark is very brief in his description, but we get enough of the picture of the devil and wild beasts that we know this was no comfortable spa retreat Jesus went to.How do you think the previous experience at His baptism prepared Jesus for this part of his journey? What sort of “spiritual desert experiences” have you had in your life of following Christ? What, if anything, did you learn from them?

1. Jesus speaks as the Greatest Prophet. 2. Jesus rules as the Divine King. 3. Jesus redeems as the Highest Priest.

The history of this chaplet goes back to a devout Servant of God, Antonia d'Astonac, who had a vision of St. Michael. He told Antonia to honor him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. St. Michael allegedly promised that whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for those who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and the assistance of all holy angels during one's life. V. Deus, in adiutórium meum inténde. O God, come to my assistance R. Dómine, ad adiuvándum me festína. O Lord, make haste to help me. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.

Amen. ... 9. Per intercessiónem Sancti Michaélis et cappéllae caeléstis Angelorum, Dóminus ab eis protegemur in hac vita mortale det et post hac perducemini ad gloriam aeternam. Amen. By the intercession of St. Michael and the Celestial choir of Angels, may the Lord grant us to be protected by them in this mortal life and conducted hereafter to eternal glory.
