Hello, friends, I’m back with another post! I believe I should write a little about how burials are a result of sin in the world because we make mistakes all the time (James 3:2). We need to remember how sin can literally take away another human’s life is we’re not careful; pray you don’t do this, especially on purpose! I know I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s death… but so far, this has never happened to me before — I still don’t want to risk anything, though. I don’t think we can be super-meticulous about it because we’ll go in a ridiculous direction should we choose that route, chances are… probably like 99% of the time, at least. But it doesn’t matter because accusers are watching us to see how badly we’ll screw up, and when they’re the ones who start the scenario for the drama to happen, even then we get blamed, as if we were the worse criminals than the godless freaks who love to watch the world burn. I don’t even have a criminal record, but I don’t want to be in trouble anyway. Oh, sorry, I went off-topic, but this passage is found in page 31 of my NKJV Bible, page 40 of my NASB Bible, page 68 of my VOICE copy, and page 66 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy. But still, I was going to comment a bit on Jacob’s burial, so here goes nothing… better safe than sorry…
Jacob was just getting really old in those days (oh, I keep forgetting, he lived to be 147; see Genesis 47:28), so unfortunately, because Jesus wasn’t going to appear for a long time, and with God’s declaration of human life being 120 years maximum after the flood (see Genesis 6-8), he left this world to sleep with his ancestors, but at least Jesus spoke of him being in His kingdom (Matthew 8:11), so I’m like, “Thank God!” He must’ve repented from all his sins after Joseph was taken into slavery. Oh, after this note, I’ll write about the final verses of this book about how Joseph forgave his brothers, since they wanted to preserve him. And in the end, the tribes got along pretty well. This set the stage for future events among Jacob’s descendants. But anyway, I wish forgiveness meant anything to my mom, for she’s still inappropriate as ever… I pray she doesn’t do any harm to anyone… but we don’t know how unpredictable many people can be. The worldly system is so unforgiving and exaggerates the truth about literally everything, while downplaying the promises of God so that I’d have a hard time finding anything to hear from Him. Still, I might hear something edifying tonight at Awaken, but I’m not expecting anything to be any good. I feel like I’ll hear nothing but difficult messages from now on, actually… why do we live if God doesn’t encourage every once in a while? I know He does, but I’ve become convinced that not even the good churches are edifying the people all the time… I don’t know 😢 I pray I might hear something from the Holy Spirit tonight when Awaken starts… but one thing I know, God’s been faithful before due to the prophetic command fulfilled here (Genesis 50:7-8) — it was a huge gathering! (See Genesis 50:9.) I pray for God’s faithfulness to be displayed here…
If you have any other prayer requests, you can leave them in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! (I need to remember to check my e-mail…) I’ll be back with the last part of the book soon! Later!
