The flowers appear on the earth; the time
of the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in
our land
Song of Solomon 2:12 |
Since we have
heard about how the Raven helped Elijah,
we are now going to
see what we can learn from birds.
While this series appears
to be geared towards getting our little children involved,
there will be plenty
for us adults to learn from these birds, too.

V.
Revelations and Paul
Paul had his revelations from
Christ Himself!
-
Galatians 1:11,12
- But I certify you, brethren, that
the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received
it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
-
II Corinthians
12:1-6 - of 'me' has to be Paul talking about himself
-
II Corinthians
12:7 - an abundance of them - And
lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet
me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Mystery revealed to Paul
-
Romans 16:25
- Now to him that is of power to stablish
you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according
to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world
began,
-
Ephesians 3:1-7
- For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of
Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of
the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation
he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby,
when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now
revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles
should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise
in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the
gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his
power.
Paul sees folks who all think they
have received it all... it must have been a real mess in those days, eh?
-
I Corinthians
14:26 - How is it then, brethren?
when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine,
hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things
be done unto edifying.
-
All before 1611, etc.
Paul speak to people in his day through
direct revelation from and knowledge of Christ...
-
I Corinthians
14:6 - Now, brethren, if I come unto you
speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to
you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
-
Today: King James Bible
The Lord told him to go and make a personal
visit - Galatians 2:1,2 - :
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and
took Titus with me also. And I went up by revelation, and communicated
unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately
to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had
run, in vain.
-
(direct revelation from
God...
we don't receive those kinds of 'revelations' today!)
The revelation to us today - in the
knowledge of him!
-
All from the KJB
1611 Rightly divided today - since 1611.
-
Ephesians 1:17
- That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of him:
-
I Corinthians
8-10
-
Since 1611, the King James Bible became
our only source of revelation.
Two Revelations
yet to come!
-
I Peter 1:13
-
at the end of the Tribulation!
-
Wherefore
gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
-
Romans 2:5
-
God - white throne judgment
-
But after
thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against
the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
How
does God talk to us today?
-
King James 1611 Bible
-
I Corinthians
13:8-10
If the birds
will listen to God, they will learn what to do and where to go, etc.
Aren't we suppose to
be smarter than the birds?
Yes?
Then listen to
the living God of the King James 1611 Bible...
...the only bible
God speaks through!
