The Word: Hidden Treasures

Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found, and I consumed them. Your words were joy and my heart's delight, because I bear your name, Lord God of the Heavenly Armies.

Living and Everlasting Word of God

1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish - by the living and everlasting word of God.

A love of the Bible requires knowing your Bible; knowing your Bible leads to a deeper love of Him.

The Bible is 66 books, written by 40 authors, over thousands of years, yet:

• It is an integrated message system, where every detail, every number, and every place name has mysterious significance;
• Its origin is demonstrably from outside our domain of time itself: it proves its supernatural origin by describing history in advance.

Studying the Bible offers numerous benefits, including a deeper understanding of God, opportunities for spiritual growth, and practical wisdom for everyday life. It serves as a source of historical and literary insights, providing comfort and guidance during difficult times. As the written word of God, the Bible presents a unique perspective on life, history, and God's character.

As you study, look for hidden treasures in the Biblical text. Be free of presupposition, not seeking confirmation of prior beliefs. Remember Acts 17:11.

Acts 17:11 The Bereans were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the message, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so.

Searching for Hidden Treasures

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

Here are a few treasures I've found that have motivated me to pay attention to and watch out for unexpected topics.  The following are modern-day technologies that are anticipated in the Bible:

• Weapons of Mass Destruction - Matthew 24:22
• Smart Weapons - Jeremiah 50:9
• Global News Coverage - Matthew 24:15; Revelation 11:8-10
• Global Funds Transfer - Revelation 13:17
• Pathways in the Sea - Psalm 8:8; Isaiah 43:16
• Meteorological Cycle - Ecclesiastes 1:6-7; Job 36:27-28
• Round Earth - Luke 17:34-36; Job 26:7
• Hyperspaces - Ephesians 3:18

You have a personal Tutor in the Holy Spirit

John 14:26  but the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have told you.

Keep a Journal

Document your journey into the supernatural. Your real, private tutor is the Holy Spirit Himself.
He will “teach you all things...” (Jn 16:13-15)
