Bible Verses You Don't Hear About

"Don’t think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. I have come to make this happen:

‘A son will be against his father,     a daughter will be against her mother, a daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law. A person’s enemies will be members of his own family."

(Matthew 10:34-36)

Jesus is love, y'all. lol

1 Kings 8:23 (NLT) - and he prayed,

“O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in all of heaven above or on the earth below. You keep Your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before You in wholehearted devotion.

El/El Elyon/El Shaddai = "Ēl (Hebrew: אל) is a Northwest Semitic word meaning "god" or "god". In the English Bible, the derived name Elohim is usually translated as "God", while Yahweh is translated as "The Lord". El can be translated as "God" or "god", depending on whether it refers to the One God or a lesser divine being. As an element in proper names, "el" is found in ancient Aramaic, Arabic, and Ethiopic languages, as well as in Hebrew (for example, "Samu·el" and "Jo·el"). In the post-biblical period, "el" becomes a regular element in the names of angels such as "Gabri·el", "Micha·el", and "Azri·el", to denote their status as divine beings. The semantic root of the Islamic word for God "Allah" is related to the Semitic word El. In the Bible, El was the deity worshiped by the Hebrew patriarchs, for example as El Shaddai (Almighty God) or El Elyon (Most High God) before the revelation of his name Yahweh to Moses. But El was also worshiped by non-Israelites, such as Melchizedek (Genesis 14:9). Scholars have found much extra-biblical evidence of canaanite worship of El as the supreme deity, creator of heaven and earth, the father of mankind, the husband of the goddess Asherah, and the father of many other gods. Canaanite mythology about El may have directly influenced the development of later Greco-Roman stories of the gods."

"In canaanite religion, or levantine religion as a whole, Eli or Il was the supreme god, the father of mankind and all creatures, and the husband of the goddess Asherah, as recorded in the tablets of Ugarit. The word El was found at the top of a list of gods as the Elder of the gods or the Father of all gods, in the ruins of the Royal Library of the Ebla civilization, at the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC. He may have been a desert god at some point, as myths say he had two wives and built a shrine with them and their new children in the desert. El spawned many gods, but the most important ones were Hadad, Yam and Mot."

So Alexander came into Syria, and took Damascus: and when he had obtained Sidon, he besieged Tyre. When he sent an epistle to the Jewish High Priest, “To send him some auxiliaries; and to supply his army with provisions: and that what presents he formerly sent to Darius, he would now send to him; and choose the friendship of the Macedonians: and that he should never repent of so doing.” But the High Priest answered the messengers, that “He had given his oath to Darius, not to bear arms against him: and he said that he would not transgress them, while Darius was in the land of the living.” Upon hearing this answer, Alexander was very angry: and though he determined not to leave Tyre, which was just ready to be taken; yet as soon as he had taken it, he threatened that he would make an expedition against the Jewish High Priest, and through him teach all men to whom they must keep their oaths. So when he had, with a good deal of pains, during the siege, taken Tyre, and had settled its affairs, he came to the city of Gaza, and besieged both the city, and him that was governour of the garrison: whose name was Babemeses.

But when the seven months of the siege of Tyre were over, and the two months of the siege of Gaza, Sanballat died. Now Alexander, when he had taken Gaza, made haste to go up to Jerusalem. And Jaddua the High Priest, when he heard that, was in an agony, and under terror; as not knowing how he should meet the Macedonians: since the King was displeased at his foregoing disobedience. He therefore ordained that the people should make supplications, and should join with him in offering sacrifice to God: whom he besought to protect that nation, and to deliver them from the perils that were coming upon them. Whereupon God warned him in a dream, which came upon him after he had offered sacrifice, that “He should take courage, and adorn the city, and open the gates; that the rest should appear in white garments; but that he and the priests should meet the King in the habits proper to their order; without the dread of any ill consequences; which the providence of God would prevent.” Upon which, when he rose from his sleep, he greatly rejoiced; and declared to all the warning he had received from God. According to which dream he acted entirely; and so waited for the coming of the King.

And when he understood that he was not far from the city, he went out in procession, with the priests, and the multitude of the citizens. The procession was venerable, and the manner of it different from that of other nations. It reached to a place called Sapha: which name translated into Greek signifies a prospect, for you have thence a prospect both of Jerusalem and of the temple: and when the Phenecians, and the Chaldeans that followed him thought they should have liberty to plunder the city, and torment the High Priest to death: which the King’s displeasure fairly promised them: the very reverse of it happened.

For Alexander, when he saw the multitude at a distance, in white garments, while the priests stood clothed with fine linen, and the High Priest in purple and scarlet clothing; with his miter on his head; having the golden plate whereon the name of God was engraved, he approached by himself, and adored that name, and first saluted the High Priest. The Jews also did all together, with one voice, salute Alexander; and encompass him about.

Whereupon the Kings of Syria, and the rest were surprized at what Alexander had done; and supposed him disordered in his mind. However, Parmenio alone went up to him, and asked him, “How it came to pass, that when all others adored him, he should adore the High Priest of the Jews?” To whom he replied, “I did not adore him, but that God who hath honoured him with his High Priesthood. For I saw this very person, in a dream, in this very habit, when I was at Dios in Macedonia. Who, when I was considering with my self how I might obtain the dominion of Asia, exhorted me to make no delay; but boldly to pass over the sea thither: for that he would conduct my army, and would give me the dominion over the Persians. Whence it is that having seen no other in that habit, and now seeing this person in it, and remembring that vision, and the exhortation which I had in my dream, I believe that I bring this army under the divine conduct, and shall therewith conquer Darius, and destroy the power of the Persians; and that all things will succeed according to what is in my own mind.” And when he had said this to Parmenio, and had given the High Priest his right hand, the priests ran along by him; and he came into the city. And when he went up into the temple, he offered sacrifice to God, according to the High Priest’s direction: and magnificently treated both the High Priest, and the priests.

And when the book of Daniel was showed him, wherein Daniel declared that one of the Greeks should destroy the empire of the Persians, he supposed that himself was the person intended. And as he was then glad, he dismissed the multitude for the present: but the next day he called them to him, and bid them ask what favours they pleased of him. Whereupon the High Priest desired, that they might enjoy the laws of their forefathers: and might pay no tribute on the seventh year. He granted all they desired. And when they intreated him that he would permit the Jews in Babylon and Media to enjoy their own laws also, he willingly promised to do hereafter what they desired. And when he said to the multitude, that if any of them would list themselves in his army, on this condition that they should continue under the laws of their forefathers, and live according to them, he was willing to take them with him; many were ready to accompany him in his wars.

“Dear Lord adove the heavens, beyond worlds and who always know:

Please, revelate me the mistery of this awful need of being always alone, on my own.

Please, revelate me the understanding of what is wrong in me, or what is wrong around, so I can be able of changing.

Please, just revelate me what I dont deserve to know, so I can finally understand the why of many of my troubles.

I know in my bones that they are not of this plane. I know it because this tiredness is not a human struggle.

Thank you, and may my soul softens and bless you one more time".
