To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD
THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY
SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Nehemiah 8:1–6 (The Living Bible) 1 Now, in mid-September, all
the people assembled at the plaza in front of the Water Gate and requested
Ezra, their religious leader, to read to them the law of God, which he had
given to Moses. So Ezra the priest brought out to them the scroll of Moses’
laws. He stood on a wooden stand made especially for the occasion so that
everyone could see him as he read. He faced the square in front of the Water
Gate and read from early morning until noon. Everyone stood up as he opened the
scroll. And all who were old enough to
understand paid close attention. To his right stood Mattithiah, Shema,
Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah. To his left were Pedaiah, Mishael,
Malchijah, Hashum, Hash-baddenah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 6 Then Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God,
and all the people said, “Amen,” and lifted their hands toward heaven; then
they bowed and worshiped the Lord with their faces toward the ground.
Nehemiah 8:7–12 (NASB95) 7
Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah,
Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, explained the law to the
people while the people remained in their place. 8 They read from the book, from the law of
God, translating to give the sense so that they understood the reading. 9
Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and
the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord
your God; do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping when they
heard the words of the law. 10 Then he said to them, “Go, eat of the
fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for
this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be
grieved, for the joy of the Lord
is your strength.” 11 So the Levites calmed all the people,
saying, “Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 All
the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a
great festival, because they understood the words which had been made known to
them.
Nehemiah 8:7–12 (RSV) 7 Also Jeshua, Bani,
Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Ma-aseiah, Kelita, Azariah,
Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, helped the people to understand the law,
while the people remained in their places.8 And they read from the book, from the law of God, clearly; and they
gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.9 And
Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites
who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.”
For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.10 Then
he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send
portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord;
and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord
is your strength.”11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying,
“Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.”12 And all the
people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great
rejoicing, because they had understood
the words that were declared to them.
Nehemiah 8:12 (The Living Bible) 12
So the people went away to eat a festive
meal and to send presents; it was a time of great and joyful celebration
because they could hear and understand God’s words.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
