Quote of the day: "Maybe the best place to rediscover the kingdom of
God is bouncing on Jesus's knee."
No, He wrote a book all about it… The Bible, When did Jesus ever bounce
any on one his knee when he was here?

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And
he answeredand said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Whether of them twain
did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto
them, VerilyI say unto you, That the publicans andthe harlots go into the

2. kingdom of God before you. (Repentance is a good place to discover
the K.O.G.)

cast into hell fire: (Self-denial is a good place to discover the K.O.G)
Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonishedat his words. But Jesus
answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hardis it for them
that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! (God’s Word(s) is a
good place to discover the K.O.G)

Mark 9
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted
with salt.
Matt 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith

As salt, being of a hot and dry nature, isapt to bite and fretthe raw skin or
flesh, so the Word of God, preached and applied to men’sconsciences, is
apt to cause pain and grief.—G. Petter
The valuable commodity of salt is commanded to accompany every
sacrifice. Lev 2:13

with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenantof thy God

3. to be lackingfrom thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou
shalt offer salt.

The obedient remnant of Israel has always been the salt of the earth. This
Remnant of Israel is always connectedwith earth:
Gen 12:1-3 1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of
thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto
a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth
thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

6. Isa 49:6-10 6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou
shouldest be my servantto raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to
restore the preservedof Israel: I will also give thee for a light
to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end
of the earth. 7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel,
and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom
the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and
arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is
faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. 8
Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee,
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve
thee, and give thee for a covenantof the people, to establish
the earth, to cause to inheritthe desolate heritages; 9 That thou
mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in
darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and
their pastures shall be in all high places. 10 They shall not
hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them:
for he that hath mercy on them shall leadthem, even by the
springs of water shall he guide them.

Jer 50:20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity
of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of
Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I
reserve.
Jer 31:36-37 36 If those ordinances departfrom before me, saith
the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation

7. before me for ever. 37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be
measured, and the foundations of the earth searchedout beneath, I
will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith
the LORD.
The word “cast out” occurs 13 times in Jeremiah (Jer 6:7
Jer 7:15, Jer 9:19, Jer 14:16, Jer 15:1, Jer 16:13, Jer 22:26, Jer 22:28, Jer 23:39, Jer 36:30, Jer 49:36, Jer 51:34, Jer 52:3)
, which precedes the
Babylonian captivity, and typifies the captivity of Israelunder the Antichrist(Rev
11:1-4).
Rev 11:1-4 1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the
angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
altar, and them that worshiptherein. 2 But the court which is without
the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the
Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and
two months. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundredand threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standingbefore the God of the earth.

land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of
hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have plantedpleasant
vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions andyour mighty sins:
they afflictthe just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in
the gate from their right.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon
thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of
sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy,
and to anointthe most Holy.
