There is No Rest Without the Peace of Jesus Christ

Gentlemen, take a lesson from the oldest of all Biblical references:

Job 38:1) Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2) Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 3) Gird up now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me. 4) Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. 5) Who has laid the measures of it, if you know? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6)Upon what are the foundations of it fastened? Or who laid its corner stone; 7) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Continuing;

Job 38:31) Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

32) Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide Arcturus with its sons? 33)Do you know the ordinances of heaven? Can you set its dominion on the earth?

People, we are debating truth without eternal knowledge if we debate the Holy Bible without guidance from the Holy Spirit. Almighty God says:

Isaiah 55:1) Ho, every one that thirsts, come you to the waters, and he that has no money; come you, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2) Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which satisfies not? Hearken diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 3) Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4) Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5) Behold, thou shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew you not shall run to you because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

Isaiah 55:6) Seek you the LORD while He may be found, call you upon him while He is near: 7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways", saith the LORD. 9) For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

It is vanity for any man or woman to say they know what Almighty God has said, they can only be messengers if Almighty God has truly given them a message.

It is human scientific analogy to say that the sky is woven, for a woven material calls for connecting material to make the fabric strong. Where is the material that we cannot see that holds the cosmos together? It is not there, for the Holy Bible says that Almighty God, through Jesus Christ, holds it all together. It is His energy that holds all together, and nothing else.

The Islamic Prophet did not say that because he did not believe it, neither do his followers. And yet it is thought that some prosaic ponderings in human logic written in the seventh century is going to contravene the Word of the LORD. Look around; those words that go against the Holy Bible did not keep the peace then, and they are going to shred the peace very shortly as the world turns against Israel. Where will the human logic get anyone then? See Isaiah 55:6, and believe in the LORD Jesus Christ for His peace and rest, while there is still a moment to do so.
