IF YOU HAD BEEN THERE - PART I

 

You should have been there!

 

When God created the world!

Job 38:3-4  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. [4] Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

 

Job 38:5-18  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? [6] Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; [7] When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? [8] Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? [9] When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, [10] And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, [11] And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? [12] Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; [13] That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? [14] It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. [15] And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. [16] Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? [17] Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? [18] Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

[I laid the foundations of the earth] The foundations of the earth were laid by God, a Person; they weren't the development of an evolving, self-existent molecule, or any number of molecules.  Job was asked to explain how God formed the earth, if he had understanding.  If he couldn't do this, he was a poor critic of God's government.

 

Would you have feared God?

 

Oh,

You should have been there!

 

When God shut the door of the boat and the water (flood) began to rise and after a while you could hear the screams of the people saying “open to me, open to me, open to me, let me in, I am dieing out here, I believe you now, I believe,, I believe, open to me, sounds of the curses and screams” as the water continued to rise. The mockers refused to heed the warnings of Noah the Man of God.  

 

Genesis 6:17  And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

 

Genesis 7:6-7  And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. [7] And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

 

Genesis 7:10  And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

 

Genesis 7:17  And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

 

Genesis 7:11-13  In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. [12] And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. [13] In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

 

Genesis 7:16-17  And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in. [17] And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

 

Genesis 7:18-21  And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. [19] And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. [20] Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. [21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

 

Genesis 7:22-24  All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. [23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. [24] And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

 

Would you have feared God or would you have been afraid?

 

Oh,

You should have been there!

 

When Elisha cursed the little children of the City in the Name of the LORD for their mocking A Man of God!

When God called two she bears out of the wood

 

2 Kings 2:23-25  And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. [24] And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. [25] And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

 

[children] Hebrew:  na€ar (HSN-5288), child—anywhere from infancy to adolescence.  It generally implies youth, but not always, for the word is used of Isaac when he was 28 (Genesis 22:5), of Joseph at 39 (Genesis 41:12), and of Rehoboam when fully grown (2 Chron. 13:7).  These "little children" were the infidel young men of Bethel who worshiped the golden calf instead of Jehovah.  God sent the bears, so we must believe the offenders were worthy of such judgment.

 

[bald head] According to some authorities, "bald head" didn't refer to a lack of hair, but signified a worthless man; it was a term of contempt, an insult.  Here it was equal to blasphemy for the young men mocked Elisha as a prophet of Jehovah, in contemptuous allusion to the translation of Elijah, which they no doubt denied.  The idea seems to be:  "Be translated like Elijah, you worthless man!"

 

Would you have feared God? Would you have been afraid?

 

Almighty God takes it very serious when people mock Him or one of “His” Holy Prophets!

 

Do you fear God? Are you afraid of offending Him?

 

1 Chron. 16:21-26  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, [22] Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. [23] Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. [24] Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. [25] For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. [26] For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

 

Will you heed God’s warnings’?

Do you fear God?

 

Oh

You should be there

When the Trumpet of the Lord sounds!

 

Will you be there? At The Roll Call? Will you answer to your name?

 

God is going to call the roll some morning, just after the great trumpet sounds, He going to call all that’s ready up to heaven, where peace and love abounds. At the Roll Call, will you be glad that Jesus came?

 

Will you say Master here am I, I am so glad you bleed and died, that you hung upon the Cross for a sinner such as I. At the Roll Call, Will you answer to your name? At the Roll Call, Are you glad that Jesus Came? Will you say Master here am I, I am so glad you bleed and died, that you hung upon the Cross For a sinner such as I. At the roll Call will you answer to your name, At the Roll Call I am so glad that Jesus Came.

 

Will you hear your name called OR will you miss the Roll Call

and be left behind OR 

Will you be there when they decapitate people’s heads because you refuse to take the mark of the BEAST?

 

2 Cor. 6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

 

Repent while you still have the breath of life!

 

Rev. 20:1-4  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. [4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

 

Will you be there? Where will you be?

Romans 10:9-13
