até que lhes falte o pão e a água, e se espantem uns com os outros, e se definhem na sua iniqüidade.
Ezequiel 4:17
Scriptural Confirmations #3
3. Christ
1. The Lord is called in many places Jehovah, Jehovah of hosts, and in particular God, the God of Israel, the Holy One, and the Holy One of Israel, and Lord, the Rock, Angel, the Arm of Jehovah, Prophet, the Son of man, while very frequently Jehovah is named, even He, since they are one - the Mighty One of Jacob, the Rock of Jacob. Therefore in general by Jehovah the Father Himself, and Lord are at the same time meant, as is clear from the following passages.
Jesus was taken up into heaven, and a cloud received Him, and then two angels said, This Jesus shall so come as ye have seen him going into heaven (Acts of the Apostles 1:9, 11).
Jesus rose from the dead according to the prophecy through David (Psalms 16:10), and that there Christ is meant and not David (Acts of the Apostles 2:27-29, 31; 13:24-37). Then said Jehovah, the Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool (Psalms 110:1; Acts of the Apostles 2:34, 35).
The Lord our God (Acts of the Apostles 2:39). He is the Lord of all (Acts of the Apostles 10:36).
Ye have slain the Prince of life (Acts of the Apostles 3:15).
That when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, he may send Jesus Christ which before was preached unto you, whom the heaven must receive until the time of the restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all the prophets from of old (Acts of the Apostles 3:20, 21).
Moses said, The Lord your God will raise up unto you a Prophet from your brethren, unto him ye shall hearken, whatever soul shall not hearken to that Prophet, he shall be destroyed from among the people; all the prophets have foretold him (Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19; Acts of the Apostles 3:22-24).
Prediction from Isaiah (53:7-9), the Lord would suffer (Acts of the Apostles 8:32, 33).
Christ was the Son of God (Acts of the Apostles 8:37; 9:20).
Jesus is the Lord of all (Acts of the Apostles 10:36). He is the Judge of the living and the dead (verse 42).
They were called Christians first in Antioch (Acts of the Apostles 11:26). Paul explains the saying, this day have I begotten thee (Psalms 2:7) as referring to Jesus (Acts of the Apostles 13:33).
He is called the light of the nations, for salvation to the uttermost part of the earth (Isaiah 49:6; Acts of the Apostles 13:47).
The coming of the Lord for the rebuilding of the ruins (Amos 9:11; quoted Acts of the Apostles 15:16, 17).
Paul said that he was ready to be bound and die for the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts of the Apostles 21:13).
Paul at Rome preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Christ (Acts of the Apostles 28:31).
In the Acts of the Apostles it is said that they preached the Lord Christ only, and that they should believe in Him, and nowhere that they should believe in God the Father.
Matthew 25:14-30
14
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
