In 1 Chronicles 16 we have the ark finally arriving at Zion after the disastrous first attempt. It was placed in the tent David had pitched for it. And after the spirit of the Melchizedek king priest, David as a great sign of fellowship offers to all the people bread (meat) and wine (in the form of clusters of raisins). Burnt offerings and thanksgiving offerings accompany these actions and all the people receive portions of these offerings. Verses 8 to 35 record David's Psalm of thanksgiving, which was sung by the 24 orders of priests (previously organised by Samuel and David). The people enthusiastically respond in verse 36, "AMEN". The praise for Yahweh's 'chesed' - "loving kindness" continues. Psalm 132 was composed to commemorate the bringing of the ark to Zion - read it and marvel as it speaks of the righteousness andTop of the Documentsalvation, that will be ushered in when the glorious Kingdom of the Son of God comes. The Psalm needs to be read in conjunction with 1 Chronicles 17. In Ezekiel 28 we have a parabolic taunt against Tyre. In the days of Solomon, they shared in the brotherly covenant and cooperated in all things. Deterioration came between the kingdoms, as evil kings came to reign. The language is picturesque, but when read carefully, totally understandable. Verse 2 addresses the prince of Tyre - a man. Commercial and maritime wisdom abounded in this city state. They were not supernatural for the account says that they were slain by the sword. From verses 12-19 the Tyrians were in Eden - a geographic region described in Genesis 2. Then the chapter tells us of judgments on Sidon, Tyre's sister city. When Yahweh brought these judgments Israel would be regathered and restored. In Galatians we have one of the earliest books of the New Testament to be written- perhaps as early as AD42 depending upon the theory which adopted. The book must have been written after the Jerusalem' Conference, which was about the date mentioned previously. Galatians is the second of three treatises on the Atonement i.e. how sinners can be made right with God - the others being Romans and Hebrews. All three books are based on Habakkuk 2:4, "The just shall live by faith". The emphasis in Romans is the JUST...; in Galatians it is ... LIVE by faith; and in Hebrews.. live by FAITH. The problem of Judaism is addressed in this book. The Judaizers, Paul's constant foes, taught salvation was by works of the Law, and not by faith. They preached that Christ and belief in him were insufficient to save - that the keeping of the Law was also necessary in order to be saved. In Galatians 1 Paul establishes his credentials and says how he was called to the gospel. Paul also indicates that a curse would rest on anyone preaching a variant of the only true gospel. The Apostle explains that the gospel message was given him in Arabia by direct revelation i.e. personally taught it by Jesus Christ - none of the other Apostles were in any way connected with his instruction. Chapter 2 teaches us of the firm stance that Paul took on not circumcising Titus. The chapter also spoke of Peter's equivocation and hypocrisy, when confronted by false brethren called Judaizers. Read verses 15-21 aloud. Pause and ponder. Let each of us determine to live our life in Christ Jesus as the great Apostle did.

It's Tuesday, September 30th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson India's new anti-conversion law leads to 9 harassment cases against Christians India's Northwestern state of Rajasthan issued their Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill in the state assembly on September 9th. And now, International Christian Concern reports at least nine documented incidents of harassment and assault on Christians over the last three weeks.  Atheist Bill Maher objects to Nigerian genocide against Christians Bill Maher, the well-known comedian and secular humanist commentator, took to his HBO show last Friday to complain about the lack of coverage about Christian persecution in Nigeria. MAHER: “If you don't know what's going on in Nigeria, you are in a bubble. And again, I'm not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They've killed over 100,000 since 2009 they've burned 18,000 churches. These are Islamists, Boko Haram. “This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?” (applause) GUEST: “No one will talk about it. So, thank you.” MAHER: “Absolutely!” Chinese Communists sentence Christian attorney 4 years in prison And, in China, the Communists sentenced a Christian attorney and defender of human rights to four years in prison for the charge of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” and “seriously damaging her country's image.”   Zhang Zhan has already served four years for the crime of reporting from Wuhan on the COVID-19 pandemic back in February of 2020.  Mormon president allowed sexually perverse to remain in good standing The President of the Mormon faith, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, went to meet his Maker, over the weekend. Russell Nelson was 101 years old. Under his watch, the Mormons changed their policies on homosexuality, allowing those living in sexually-perverted relationships and faux-marriages to remain members in good standing. The group also allowed for the Melchizedek blessing to be placed upon children adopted by homosexuals living together. Dr. Nelson is also credited with ridding them of the “Mormon” moniker, while building the internet URL: “churchofjesuschrist.org". Membership in Mormonism expanded from 4.5 million to 17.5 million members since Dr. Nelson joined the top-tier leadership in 1984. That's a 3-fold increase in 40 years.  That's about the same growth rate as the Jehovah Witnesses, with the JW's about half the size of the Mormons.  In the words of Jesus: “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.” (Matthew 7:19) Ken Ham and Al Mohler honor Voddie Baucham's legacy Ken Ham, from Answers in Genesis, took to social media to say, he was “greatly saddened to hear the news that pastor and theologian Voddie Baucham had gone to be with the Lord.”  Ken called Voddie “a powerful voice for truth. a pioneer in challenging men to stand for Christ in leading their families. … No other voice had the impact his did to encourage the current generation to home educate their children—that they would know Christ and make him known. “Voddie called men to lead in family worship daily in their homes. He was a pioneer in bringing young people back into the churches to sit together as a family and witness their dads worship the Lord.” Al Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, also offered a tribute to Voddie Baucham on The Briefing. Listen. MOHLER: “Voddie Baucham died having done what the Lord called him to do. We're thankful for the power of his ministry and the clarity of his convictions. And it is a reminder to us that we must work, as Jesus said to His disciples, while it is day. Night is coming when no man can work. We'll pray for Voddie Baucham's widow and the entire family.” Plus, Masters Seminary shared a memorial on Facebook stating that “Voddie was a courageous shepherd, a bold defender of the true Gospel, and a beloved friend.” Lord: “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” And, just to remind us all, that this was the year that Phil Robertson, Pastor John MacArthur, Dr. James Dobson, Voddie Baucham, and Charlie Kirk died. Let us remember Moses's words in Psalm 90:12 -- “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” Artificial Intelligence the one bright spot in the economy In economic news today, the second quarter Gross Domestic Product in the United States registered a 3.8% improvement.  But that improvement, thus far this year, is attributed to Artificial Intelligence investment and tariffs. All other parts of the economy were down including personal consumption, business investment, housing, government and inventories. While the NASDAQ Index is up 5.7% for the month of September, investors are moving to gold and silver as a safe haven now.  Gold is up 10%, silver is up 15%, and Bitcoin is up 2%. Majority of top movies are R-rated Six out of the top seven movies this weekend are R-rated movies — mostly in the horror genre. And five out of six of last weekend's top box office favorites were also R-rated movies. R-rated movies netted four times the G-rated movie totals in 2007. This year, that ratio has increased to 100 times the G-rated movie totals. Neanderthals were fully human And finally, evolutionists are surprised to have found relations between the Neanderthals and the Chinese ancient human group called the Denisovans. A recent report cites interbreeding, according to the genome sequence. Although at one time considered a link in human evolution, now scientists realize that the Neanderthals were fully human. For example, according to the Institute for Creation Research, they “made tools to make other complex tools, buried their dead, had controlled use of fire, practiced religious ceremonies, used complex syntax in their spoken grammar, and played musical instruments.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 30th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Genesis 14 | Pastor Greg Genesis 14 in a nutshell: invading kings sack Sodom and capture Lot; Abram mobilizes 318 men, defeats them by night, and brings everyone and everything back. On the way home he meets Melchizedek (king of Salem, priest of God Most High), who brings bread and wine and blesses him; Abram gives a tenth and then refuses the king of Sodom's offer. We can learn from this situation: trust God's provision, avoid compromising deals, and see Melchizedek as a pointer to Jesus, our greater High Priest.

Crystal Rivers | Kingdom Mysteries | Sep 24, 2025 The teaching presents a framework for understanding spiritual life through the lens of exclusive devotion to God, drawing heavily on biblical passages about worldliness and the priesthood of Melchizedek. The central premise is that believers exist in a state of spiritual warfare between two competing influences: the spirit of this world (characterized as Babylon) and the Holy Spirit. Worldliness is portrayed not merely as sinful behavior, but as a form of spiritual adultery - an intimate communion with forces opposed to God that creates enmity between the believer and the divine. This worldly influence is described as intoxicating, making believers "drunk" and "deranged" in ways that prevent them from receiving answers to prayer or experiencing God's power. The solution offered centers on the model of Melchizedek, presented as someone who mastered righteousness by completely separating from worldly influences and maintaining unbroken communion with God. This involves making binding spiritual "oaths" to God that formally end agreements with worldly spirits. The teaching suggests that believers must wage war against their own heritage and genetic predispositions toward sin through deliberate spiritual practices. Practical application focuses on creating an "ecosystem" of spiritual discipline through accountability partnerships, extended periods of prayer and fasting, careful curation of media consumption, and surrounding oneself with spiritually-minded community. The approach emphasizes building spiritual capacity gradually - starting with manageable disciplines and incrementally increasing intensity until deeper spiritual realities become accessible and desirable rather than burdensome. The framework positions regular Christian struggles not as normal human experience, but as evidence of ongoing spiritual adultery that must be aggressively confronted through sustained spiritual warfare and radical separation from worldly influences.

Send us a textChrist stands as our ultimate city of refuge—a powerful truth that transforms how we understand salvation. Looking at the Old Testament concept where accidental killers could find protection in designated cities until the high priest's death, we discover a profound foreshadowing of Christ's perfect priesthood.Unlike the temporary refuge offered in ancient Israel, Christ provides permanent sanctuary through "the power of an endless life." He comes not from Aaron's priestly line but from Judah, establishing a superior priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. This mystery-shrouded biblical figure serves as a type of Christ, though Christ Himself transcends and surpasses him.The conversation explores how Christ functions as "an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast." This anchor doesn't prevent life's storms—we still feel the winds and get wet from the rains—but it holds us securely in place. Unlike physical anchors that connect downward to the seabed, our spiritual anchor connects upward to heaven. Though invisible, it maintains an unbreakable connection that guarantees our security.This leads to a passionate defense of the perseverance of the saints—the doctrine that genuine believers cannot lose their salvation. If our High Priest has an endless life and serves as our perfect refuge, any suggestion that salvation can be lost ultimately questions God's ability to fulfill His promises. As Numbers 23:19-20 declares, "God is not a man that He should lie... Has He said and shall He not do it?"Flee to Christ, your perfect refuge. Rest in His endless priesthood and allow His unchanging promises to anchor your soul through every storm. When God saves, He saves completely and eternally—not because of our grip on Him, but because of His unbreakable grip on us.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Unlike the Pharisees, whose reliance on tradition blinded them to God's unfolding plan, Jesus reveals Himself as the one seated at the right hand of the Father, ruling with authority, mediating a better covenant, and trampling His enemies underfoot. The sermon calls believers to humility, to avoid reducing Jesus to fit personal agendas, and to recognize Him as the Alpha and Omega, Son of David and Son of God, who secures eternal hope.

Revelation Dates: November 1834 – December 1835 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 106 - Historical Background: It had been 5 months since the return from Zions Camp. Joseph was engaged in the building of the Temple in Kirtland, along with visiting and strengthening each branch in the area. The previous month of March, Joseph had visited the town of Freedom, baptizing 30-40 people there, including Warren Cowdery, the brother of Oliver Cowdery. This revelation is directed to Warren Cowdery. Recap: Warren Cowdery to be ordained a High Priest and preside over the saints at Freedom, Ohio. He is to be humble and an example, preaching to the people. Section 107 - Historical Background: On Feb 14, 1835, Joseph invited all those who risked their lives at Zions Camp, to attend a special meeting. From the congregation, the 12 Apostles were chosen. Shortly thereafter, the First Council of 70 was selected, presided over by a presidency of 7. On March 28, 1835, the Twelve were about to leave on various missions and desired an uplifting revelation to take with them.     Recap: There are two priesthoods, the Melchizedek and Aaronic. All offices in the church are appendages to this priesthood. Priesthood offices are listed along with their rights and duties. Melchizedek: To administer the keys in spiritual things, authority to preside over all; Offices include High Priest – organized into the First Presidency, quorum of 12 Apostles, quorums of the Seventy, Patriarch and Bishop; and all other holders of the Melchizedek priesthood are to be ordained to the office of Elder. Aaronic: To administer keys of the administering of angels and the outward ordinances, to be presided over by the High Priest of the bishopric; Offices include Priest, Teacher and Deacon. [Note: When it comes time to translate records, such as the sealed portion of the gold plates, the book of Enoch, the brass plates, etc. the prophet will be sustained not only as prophet, seer and revelator, but also translator.] The number of quorums of the Seventy will expand as needed to travel as ministers among the gentiles. Section 108 - Historical Background: Lyman Sherman was among those faithful brethren who answered the call to Zion's Camp. However, upon their return to Kirtland, he wavered. Prompted by the Lord, Lyman approached Joseph to request a blessing and revelation from the Lord. Recap: Because of following the prompting of the Lord, Lyman is forgiven. The Lord admonishes to stop resisting the promptings of the Spirit and to be more careful in observing your vows. Be patient and faithful so the Father can bless you.

7For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,2and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.3He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever. 4See how great this man was to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils!5And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers,[a]though these also are descended from Abraham.6But this man who does not have his descent from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.7It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.8In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.9One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham,10for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him. Jesus Compared to Melchizedek 11Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?12For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.13For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.14For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,16who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life.17For it is witnessed of him, You are a priest forever,after the order of Melchizedek. 18For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness19(for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath,21but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: The Lord has swornand will not change his mind,You are a priest forever. 22This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. 23The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,24but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.25Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost[b]those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 26For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.27He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.28For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.

Send us a textAre you still drinking spiritual milk when you should be feasting on meat? This profound exploration of spiritual growth challenges us to examine our maturity as believers and our readiness to teach others.Drawing from Hebrews 5, we unpack the writer's lament that many Christians remain spiritual infants long after they should have developed into teachers. "For when for the time you ought to be teachers," he writes, "you have need that one teach you again." This powerful indictment reveals how easily we can become stalled in our spiritual development.The conversation takes a fascinating theological turn as we examine Christ's priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the Aaronic priesthood which symbolized Christ in His humiliation, Melchizedek represents Christ in His exaltation. We discover the beautiful symbolism of Melchizedek bringing bread and wine to Abraham after his victory—foreshadowing Christ's communion with believers after His ultimate triumph.Perhaps most practical is our discussion about guarding what enters through our "eye gates" and "ear gates." When we consume sinful content for entertainment, we participate in that sin even without physical action. The etymological connection between "pornography" and the Greek word for "fornication" underscores this spiritual reality. What are you allowing into your heart and mind?We also explore the contrast between works of the flesh and fruit of the Spirit. While works require effort, fruit grows naturally through connection with the source. Your relationship with the Spirit isn't based on periodic refilling like a gas tank but on constant contact—like a subway train connected to its power line through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship.Ready to move beyond spiritual infancy?

9Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better thingsthings that belong to salvation.10For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.11And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,12so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. The Certainty of God's Promise 13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,14saying, Surely I will bless you and multiply you.15And thus Abraham,[a]having patiently waited, obtained the promise.16For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.17So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath,18so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.19We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,20where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

The profound mystery of Christ's redemptive sacrifice unfolds through an illuminating study of Isaiah's ancient prophecy. Isaiah's vivid portrayal of the Messiah as "a tender plant" and "a root out of dry ground" reveals both Christ's divine origin and human nature. Though possessing no extraordinary appearance to attract followers, His mission carried an extraordinary purpose. The prophecy details how He would be "despised and rejected," with people turning away as they might avoid an unpleasant stranger—a heartbreaking foretelling of humanity's response to divine love.What makes Christ's sacrifice truly remarkable is its voluntary nature. Scripture emphasizes that "he poured out his soul unto death" willingly, bearing "our griefs," "wounded for our transgressions," and "bruised for our iniquities." This wasn't reluctant martyrdom but a deliberate choice made with full awareness of its cost. The magnitude becomes staggering when we consider its scope—not merely for believers but "the sins of the whole world."Through exploring Hebrews, we contrast the temporary Levitical priesthood with Christ's eternal priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek." Unlike temple priests offering repeated sacrifices, Jesus made one perfect sacrifice "once for all." His perfection—being "holy, harmless, undefiled"—made Him the only suitable sacrifice, establishing a "continual and perpetual intercessor" for believers.Our response to this sacrifice should be overwhelming gratitude, compelling righteous living. To continue in willful sin after understanding Christ's work is to "trample on His blood." Yet for those who stumble, genuine confession and repentance bring cleansing through His blood—covering not just past sins but future failures of the truly repentant heart.The choice remains simple: accept Christ's payment and live accordingly, or reject it and face judgment. The magnitude of His sacrifice demands nothing less than complete devotion. How will you respond to the one who willingly bore the weight of all humanity's sin?"Message Our Father's Heart a Question or Response"Support the showThank you so much for listening and sharing with others!
