Mark 16:19-20.

Sometimes its there and other times it not?

The problems lay with the early codexes and the writings, so how comes then do we have it!

It had to be added at a later point, but this is not proved either to be true or not, but what is proven is that it contains a more detailed account of Jesus being with His Disciples before His Ascension, filling in the gaps?

Some translations remove some verses in this portion, while others do not have it, but have a footnote at the bottom of the page and this can cause more confusion to the reader than a help!

Luke 24:50-53, Acts 1:6-11.

Happy New year and an peaceful eastern-Christmas to all?

Ascension!

Leaving out the hope of Israel?

Very few believers mark this time or they clump it together with Pentecost, which again they have got all their facts wrong about and confuse the true picture of the Holy Scriptures once more!

The Disciples asked Jesus about the restoration of the Kingdom, but He told them that only the Father knew this, thus ending speculation a mistake made by many Christians over the past two thousand years?

Ten days later when the Holy Spirit was poured out in the courts of the Temple in Jerusalem, it was only the Jews who received it, but it was later given to the Gentiles!

These essential truths need to be applied today, if we are serious about our faith and walk with our Lord the Holy Messiah of Israel who is coming back for the believers and His Kingdom to be established in Israel, after the false messiah is removed and the Jewish people eyes will be opened to see the truth!

Acts chapters 1 and 2, Hebrews 9:25-28, Revelation 3:20 and chapter 7.

illness!

Happy 2023?

One is so sorry not being able to write for the past five weeks due to illness and missing Christmas and much more!

As believers we will be attacked by the enemy from time to time, it is expected and we have to just bear it trusting our Lord that He is with us as we go through it?

The Holy Bible is full of sickness, suffering and who God has interacted with us to warn, to heal as we see that most of the ministry of Jesus was the healing of many who were sick, but it did not stop when he ascended, the Apostles also faced these problems themselves and with others it was and remains something of a challenge?

Psalm 41:3, John 11:4.

Mark 16! Part-One.

The last twelve Verses?

Most believers do not see these technical sections of the scriptures, most denominational teaching cover them up for the lay Christian and since the Apostle Paul warned us about not getting into these arguments it is perhaps wise!

But as one grows and starts to preach and teach we learn some knowledge that can be troubling or debatable for those who like to question the context of the Holy Scriptures and the languages that they have been written in?

On reading these twelve verses, there is a different style to them from the rest of the Gospel of Mark and early Greek transcripts do not have them but that does not mean that they should not be there!

What they reveal is unbelief amongst the Disciples to Jesus rising from the dead and this is a understood state of mind, since most fled in fear from the garden when Jesus was arrested, even one in his birthday suit!

The others is of events that are related to the forty days that Jesus spent on the Earth in Israel between His resurrection and His Ascension!

Mark 16:8-20, Mark 14:52, John 20:15, 25, Acts 1:1-11, 1 Timothy 6:4, Titus 3:9.

DAY TWO!

The EASTER Story.

Much has been written about the events of Easter, the death of Jesus on the cross/stake/tree are the essentials of the power of our redemption and forgiveness of failures to the promise of the New Life or being Born-Again!

We also know of the much in connection to the resurrection of Jesus from the grave and again the fulness of the promise of Eternal Salvation, but the hours between these two tremendous events are hardly ever covered in detail?

We get but a glimpse of the burial of Jesus, the torn curtain in the Temple in Jerusalem and the lies that were put in place to dishonour these events! When Easter is over Pentecost is the next episode of the Christian Church, missing out the Ascension of Jesus!

Matthew 27:33-66, Mark 15:47- 16:1, Luke 23:55-56.
