The Introduction
“The Study will be told Verse by Verse, 48 verses in total, one Letter for the introduction and another for the conclusion. 50 letters altogether. Each Verse will be posted separately. It will be a life-changing journey reflecting on current events that we're experiencing now and how they relate to the book of Jonah. Written for the Unbeliever as an evangelistic message and for the believer as a Faith Builder, living encouragement, a preparation for end-time events now and to come.” Quote from Part #3 of my Christian Testimony
The Calling
“GOD called me to write on Substack a year before I first started. I told Him repeatedly nobody would even read what I had to say. Finally, I couldn't say no anymore and started writing. GOD proved me wrong because the first Letter published on April 1st this year has gotten 501 Views already, as of 8/22/23. I've committed to saying yes now, 100%, no longer holding back, and saying no to GOD.” Quote from Part #3 of my Christian Testimony.
The first two letters, part #1 and part #2, discussed the Dangers of the COVID-19 Vaccines as Bioweapons used in a Genocidal Campaign against the Welfare of Humanity. Evil entities incorporated the use of Cognitive Warfare tactics to Capture the minds of GOD's people into final submission, getting people worldwide to receive the lethal injection.
After finishing Part #3, the conclusion, my Christian Testimony, GOD spoke to me about doing a Bible study and reminded me of this scripture.
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear him, who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28 ESV
The LORD impressed upon my heart a burden to partner with Him as a privilege in His service to be concerned now about the human soul. Where will people spend eternity? Will they spend it in Heaven or Hell? And how will they endure the trials coming in our near future? Will they be equipped to persevere? I am now on assignment. I don't know what comes after this Bible Study. All I know is to do this first, and in the end, I will be given the next task. This Bible study will equip us to persevere, encourage, and fortify our faith. But let me state something clearly now. Sometimes, I might say things you don't like.
"Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths." 2 Timothy 4:2-4
The Bible doesn't always teach us what we want to hear. It teaches us what we need to hear. And sometimes, that might not fit our lifestyles, but when we walk with JESUS, it's not about our way. It's about His way, and that way is better.
"Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the father except through me." John 14:6
If you want to walk the way of JESUS. It's not about tickling your itching ears, chasing after myths, rejecting the truth, and having it your way. It's His plan for your life, not yours, so let's follow Him together. Let us walk with the LORD now. The question He has for all of us is this. Are we willing to surrender to Him 100%? Is it our way or His? Do we still have one foot on one side of the fence and one foot on the other side? Are we straddling the fence? If you don't know the answer and you are sincere. I believe everyone will have their answer when this bible study is over. For me, I already have mine. I'm in. I'm his, 100%
The Book of Jonah Bible Study
"But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the LORD alone.” Jonah 2:9 NLT
We are about to embark together on one of the most extraordinary adventures, as told only in the Bible. Our lives will be forever changed for the good as we study this book together. We will all become more robust and better able to withstand the many dark storms of world conflict. Storms that lie just ahead of us, and one's in our mists now. My dear friends, these are times of Apocalyptic events happening in our world, and we are here in this time for a particular reason. It's not by accident. GOD has put us here in this part of human history by divine decree, and our destinies are unfolding right before our eyes. The LORD will speak to us about all this, talking to our hearts and making Himself known.
What is a Bible teacher?
"My friends, we should not all try to become teachers. In fact, teachers will be judged more strictly than others." James 3:1 CEV
A Bible teacher is somebody whom GOD has called to teach His word. This task for the LORD should never be an act to exalt oneself above the others. But to the contrary, it is an act of humility and sincere intentions for the welfare of GOD'S people. Ultimately, it is GOD doing the teaching through us. We teachers are only to be used as instruments in GOD'S Hands to speak His words as told in the Bible.
This is an enormous responsibility, as the Bible says. We will be judged more strictly than the others. Because unless we teach the word accurately, many will be led astray. That has happened and will continue to occur until JESUS comes back. We, as teachers, need to always pay close attention to what we teach and say at all times. Always being true to GOD's word, the Bible.
What is the main objective of this bible study?
"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT
The main objective of this Bible study is to equip us all to be better prepared to persevere during end-time events. Informing, Reinforcing, encouraging, and building us up to stand firm in the face of World unrest. This bible study will be unique because it will incorporate World Events into our discussions. And how the teachings from the Book of Jonah apply now from a book most likely written between 793 and 758 B.C. but is more current now than ever.
A Sure Foundation
JESUS said build your House on the Rock. Matthew 7:24-27 ESV
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the Rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall because it had been founded on the Rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Studying the Bible is about building a house with a sure foundation, and it must always be built on the Rock, which is JESUS.
What's coming next?
The next letter will be the INTRODUCTION: For the Book of Jonah Bible Study. "Insights on the book of Jonah in the age of end times Apocalypse" up next!
"Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD! Praise the LORD!" Psalm 150:6 NLT
