2 CHRONICLES 4
















1 Solomon* also made a bronze altar 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet
high.*
2 Then he cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim, called the
Sea. It was 7½ feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.*
3 It was encircled just below its rim by two rows of figures that resembled
oxen. There were about six oxen per foot* all the way around, and they were cast
as part of the basin.

4 The Sea was placed on a base of twelve bronze oxen, all facing outward. Three
faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east, and the
Sea rested on them.
5 The walls of the Sea were about three inches* thick, and its rim flared out
like a cup and resembled a water lily blossom. It could hold about 16,500
gallons* of water.

6 He also made ten smaller basins for washing the utensils for the burnt
offerings. He set five on the south side and five on the north. But the priests
washed themselves in the Sea.

7 He then cast ten gold lampstands according to the specifications that had been
given, and he put them in the Temple. Five were placed against the south wall,
and five were placed against the north wall.

8 He also built ten tables and placed them in the Temple, five along the south
wall and five along the north wall. Then he molded 100 gold basins.

9 He then built a courtyard for the priests, and also the large outer courtyard.
He made doors for the courtyard entrances and overlaid them with bronze.
10 The great bronze basin called the Sea was placed near the southeast corner of
the Temple.

11 Huram-abi also made the necessary washbasins, shovels, and bowls.
  So at last Huram-abi completed everything King Solomon had assigned him to
make for the Temple of God:


12 the two pillars;
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
the two networks of interwoven chains that decorated the capitals;

13 the 400 pomegranates that hung from the chains on the capitals (two rows of
pomegranates for each of the chain networks that decorated the capitals on top
of the pillars);

14 the water carts holding the basins;

15 the Sea and the twelve oxen under it;

16 the ash buckets, the shovels, the meat hooks, and all the related articles.

Huram-abi made all these things of burnished bronze for the Temple of the LORD,
just as King Solomon had directed.
17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and
Zarethan.*
18 Solomon used such great quantities of bronze that its weight could not be
determined.

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings for the Temple of God:

the gold altar;
the tables for the Bread of the Presence;

20 the lampstands and their lamps of solid gold, to burn in front of the Most
Holy Place as prescribed;

21 the flower decorations, lamps, and tongs—all of the purest gold;

22 the lamp snuffers, bowls, dishes, and incense burners—all of solid gold;
the doors for the entrances to the Most Holy Place and the main room of the
Temple, overlaid with gold.







2 CHRONICLES 5
















1 So Solomon finished all his work on the Temple of the LORD. Then he brought
all the gifts his father, David, had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the
various articles—and he stored them in the treasuries of the Temple of God.


2 Solomon then summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the heads of
tribes—the leaders of the ancestral families of Israel. They were to bring the
Ark of the LORD's Covenant to the Temple from its location in the City of David,
also known as Zion.
3 So all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the annual Festival of
Shelters, which is held in early autumn.*

4 When all the elders of Israel arrived, the Levites picked up the Ark.
5 The priests and Levites brought up the Ark along with the special tent* and
all the sacred items that had been in it.
6 There, before the Ark, King Solomon and the entire community of Israel
sacrificed so many sheep, goats, and cattle that no one could keep count!

7 Then the priests carried the Ark of the LORD's Covenant into the inner
sanctuary of the Temple—the Most Holy Place—and placed it beneath the wings of
the cherubim.
8 The cherubim spread their wings over the Ark, forming a canopy over the Ark
and its carrying poles.
9 These poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Temple's main
room—the Holy Place*—but not from the outside. They are still there to this day.
10 Nothing was in the Ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in
it at Mount Sinai,* where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel
when they left Egypt.

11 Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were present had
purified themselves, whether or not they were on duty that day.
12 And the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their sons
and brothers—were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the
altar playing cymbals, lyres, and harps. They were joined by 120 priests who
were playing trumpets.
13 The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give
thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments,
they raised their voices and praised the LORD with these words:

"He is good!
  His faithful love endures forever!"

  At that moment a thick cloud filled the Temple of the LORD.
14 The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the
glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple of God.







2 CHRONICLES 6
















1 Then Solomon prayed, "O LORD, you have said that you would live in a thick
cloud of darkness.
2 Now I have built a glorious Temple for you, a place where you can live
forever!"

3 Then the king turned around to the entire community of Israel standing before
him and gave this blessing:
4 "Praise the LORD, the God of Israel, who has kept the promise he made to my
father, David. For he told my father,
5 `From the day I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have never
chosen a city among any of the tribes of Israel as the place where a Temple
should be built to honor my name. Nor have I chosen a king to lead my people
Israel.
6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem as the place for my name to be honored, and I
have chosen David to be king over my people Israel.'"

7 Then Solomon said, "My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the
name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 But the LORD told him, `You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your
intention is good,
9 but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple
to honor me.'

10 "And now the LORD has fulfilled the promise he made, for I have become king
in my father's place, and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the LORD
promised. I have built this Temple to honor the name of the LORD, the God of
Israel.
11 There I have placed the Ark, which contains the covenant that the LORD made
with the people of Israel."


12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the entire
community of Israel, and he lifted his hands in prayer.
13 Now Solomon had made a bronze platform 7½ feet long, 7½ feet wide, and 4½
feet high* and had placed it at the center of the Temple's outer courtyard. He
stood on the platform, and then he knelt in front of the entire community of
Israel and lifted his hands toward heaven.
14 He prayed,

"O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven and earth. You
keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in
wholehearted devotion.
15 You have kept your promise to your servant David, my father. You made that
promise with your own mouth, and with your own hands you have fulfilled it
today.

16 "And now, O LORD, God of Israel, carry out the additional promise you made to
your servant David, my father. For you said to him, `If your descendants guard
their behavior and faithfully follow my Law as you have done, one of them will
always sit on the throne of Israel.'
17 Now, O LORD, God of Israel, fulfill this promise to your servant David.

18 "But will God really live on earth among people? Why, even the highest
heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!
19 Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O LORD my God. Hear the cry
and the prayer that your servant is making to you.
20 May you watch over this Temple day and night, this place where you have said
you would put your name. May you always hear the prayers I make toward this
place.
21 May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel
when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and
when you hear, forgive.

22 "If someone wrongs another person and is required to take an oath of
innocence in front of your altar at this Temple,
23 then hear from heaven and judge between your servants—the accuser and the
accused. Pay back the guilty as they deserve. Acquit the innocent because of
their innocence.

24 "If your people Israel are defeated by their enemies because they have sinned
against you, and if they turn back and acknowledge your name and pray to you
here in this Temple,
25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel and return
them to this land you gave to them and to their ancestors.

26 "If the skies are shut up and there is no rain because your people have
sinned against you, and if they pray toward this Temple and acknowledge your
name and turn from their sins because you have punished them,
27 then hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your servants, your people
Israel. Teach them to follow the right path, and send rain on your land that you
have given to your people as their special possession.

28 "If there is a famine in the land or a plague or crop disease or attacks of
locusts or caterpillars, or if your people's enemies are in the land besieging
their towns—whatever disaster or disease there is—
29 and if your people Israel pray about their troubles or sorrow, raising their
hands toward this Temple,
30 then hear from heaven where you live, and forgive. Give your people what
their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart.
31 Then they will fear you and walk in your ways as long as they live in the
land you gave to our ancestors.

32 "In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear
of you. They will come from distant lands when they hear of your great name and
your strong hand and your powerful arm. And when they pray toward this Temple,
33 then hear from heaven where you live, and grant what they ask of you. In this
way, all the people of the earth will come to know and fear you, just as your
own people Israel do. They, too, will know that this Temple I have built honors
your name.

34 "If your people go out where you send them to fight their enemies, and if
they pray to you by turning toward this city you have chosen and toward this
Temple I have built to honor your name,
35 then hear their prayers from heaven and uphold their cause.

36 "If they sin against you—and who has never sinned?—you might become angry
with them and let their enemies conquer them and take them captive to a foreign
land far away or near.
37 But in that land of exile, they might turn to you in repentance and pray, `We
have sinned, done evil, and acted wickedly.'
38 If they turn to you with their whole heart and soul in the land of their
captivity and pray toward the land you gave to their ancestors—toward this city
you have chosen, and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name—
39 then hear their prayers and their petitions from heaven where you live, and
uphold their cause. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.

40 "O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to all the prayers
made to you in this place.


41 "And now arise, O LORD God, and enter your resting place,
  along with the Ark, the symbol of your power.
May your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation;
  may your loyal servants rejoice in your goodness.

42 O LORD God, do not reject the king you have anointed.
  Remember your unfailing love for your servant David."







JOHN 10:24-42
















1 "I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather
than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!
2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and
come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow
him because they know his voice.
5 They won't follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don't know
his voice."

6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn't understand what he meant,
7 so he explained it to them: "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the
sheep.
8 All who came before me* were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not
listen to them.
9 Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved.* They will
come and go freely and will find good pastures.
10 The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give
them a rich and satisfying life.

11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.
12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep
because they don't belong to him and he isn't their shepherd. And so the wolf
attacks them and scatters the flock.
13 The hired hand runs away because he's working only for the money and doesn't
really care about the sheep.

14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me,
15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for
the sheep.
16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them
also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one
shepherd.

17 "The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again.
18 No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the
authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this
is what my Father has commanded."

19 When he said these things, the people* were again divided in their opinions
about him.
20 Some said, "He's demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man
like that?"
21 Others said, "This doesn't sound like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon
open the eyes of the blind?"


22 It was now winter, and Jesus was in Jerusalem at the time of Hanukkah, the
Festival of Dedication.
23 He was in the Temple, walking through the section known as Solomon's
Colonnade.
24 The people surrounded him and asked, "How long are you going to keep us in
suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."

25 Jesus replied, "I have already told you, and you don't believe me. The proof
is the work I do in my Father's name.
26 But you don't believe me because you are not my sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them
away from me,
29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone
else.* No one can snatch them from the Father's hand.
30 The Father and I are one."

31 Once again the people picked up stones to kill him.
32 Jesus said, "At my Father's direction I have done many good works. For which
one are you going to stone me?"

33 They replied, "We're stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy!
You, a mere man, claim to be God."

34 Jesus replied, "It is written in your own Scriptures* that God said to
certain leaders of the people, `I say, you are gods!'*
35 And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people who
received God's message were called `gods,'
36 why do you call it blasphemy when I say, `I am the Son of God'? After all,
the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.
37 Don't believe me unless I carry out my Father's work.
38 But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have
done, even if you don't believe me. Then you will know and understand that the
Father is in me, and I am in the Father."

39 Once again they tried to arrest him, but he got away and left them.
40 He went beyond the Jordan River near the place where John was first baptizing
and stayed there awhile.
41 And many followed him. "John didn't perform miraculous signs," they remarked
to one another, "but everything he said about this man has come true."
42 And many who were there believed in Jesus.

Through valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me.
Psalms 23:4 (NKJV)
Heavenly Father Yahweh, I glorify, I priase you and I honor your Holy Name!
Jesus my Lord and my Savior, I glorify, I praise and I honor you! Jesus forgive
me for my sin, I ask to take them out of my heart and mind. Cleanse me my
savior. Forgive me. Bring peace, comfort in me my Jesus. Restore the joy of
salvation in me. Jesus there are bumps and rocky road on my life, that had been
done by everyone around me. It seems like it falls on me its time. Jesu I ask
why me, why? All I've been asking from you that you give me rest and comfort. I
ask that you inspire my son and my husband that they do there part. If they do
my Jesus it is so much easier for me. But why they refuse to do it my Lord.
Jesus if I will suffer on this earth for the doing of others, I ask that you
shield me from them and guide me not to get angry and bitter. Thank you God
Yahweh, for you have heard my prayers amen and amen.
