to view a brief presentation on the Bible's Important Issues of Life
(Please read the paragraphs below here, first)
God has a plan, and His plan is unfolding exactly as prepared since the beginning of time. We need to trust Him and His plan and understand there is a purpose for all that happens.
But, God's purpose and plans for His people (Christians and Jews) is that His concern is with our response to circumstances, which includes COVID-19 and all other calamities or circumstances, good or bad.
Some sources say the Bible says to 'FEAR NOT' at least 365 times.
One use of the word, Phobeo (phobia) is an unreasonable, paralyzing fear.
Yet another use is pachad - paralyzing terror, dread
Another use of the word from the New Testament is, Yawray, - to stand in awe of, be awed, to fear, reverence, honor, respect
This same word in the Hebrew is Mowra, which means a fear, a reverence, object of reverence, awe-inspiring spectacle or deed
Isaiah 8:12 says,
“You are not to say, ‘It is a conspiracy!’
In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy,
And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.
3“It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy.
And He shall be your FEAR,
And He shall be your dread.
14“Then He shall become a sanctuary;
We are told to stand in "Yawray" and "Mowra" (stand in awe, to fear and reverence, show honor and respect) of and to our God.
Because, there is no room for PHOBEO (phobias) or PACAD (terror)
The Bible also refers to wisdom or being wise over 700 times. Repetition in the Bible indicates EMPHASIS.
God has a plan. You've hear that many times. His plan is at work. We should JOIN HIM IN WHAT HE IS DOING, and fear not.
Daniel 12:10 say His plan in the Last Days is that “Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand."
God says, in Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." - GOD
Fear and terror outside of awe and reverence for God, has no place in our lives.
I am presenting a very brief and a very simple overview of the salient points of the Bible for anyone who is curious about God's Plan in the Bible. It is a very abbreviated history of how God has created the world, dealt with the people He created, and why the world has gone the way it has gone and how it will conclude.
This is not designed to please everyone. This is not designed to be doctrinaly correct. Instead, this little booklet is meant to inform the uninformed, inspire the uninspired and to ignite them to move toward the One Living God and to join Him in what He is already doing!
I suspect that some of my Christian friends and others who read this, may find some of this piece somewhat objectionable because I have omitted certain events.
However, it is my intention to inform and inspire, NOT overwhelm a new reader with volumes of information, no matter how important.
I want the reader to see that in approximately 6,000 years of time, many men and women have sacrificed everything, including their own lives, in order to bring the knowledge of Jesus, the Bible, "The Breath of God", forward through these centuries.
Our desire is to offer The Hope Jesus brings all people and a chance to make God their Lord and Savior. My desire is is that this very brief outline will provide some clarity to the uninformed and the misinformed.
