David prayed to God that he would be delivered from the strange children who were connected to the pride of a defiled Israel, steeped in whoredom and didn’t know the LORD. They destroyed the Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel with their treachery and were completely void of the presence of God. These strange children have formed the Israel of 1948 and are America’s ‘greatest allies.’
Psalms 144:11 KJV Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
Hosea 5:3 KJV I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
Hosea 5:4 KJV They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
Hosea 5:5 KJV And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Hosea 5:6 KJV They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Hosea 5:7 KJV They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Paul was looking for others to follow Jesus with him, and so am I.
1 Corinthians 11:1 KJV Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
As Jesus Christ, the Son of man, is subordinate to the Father yet co-equal in agreement as the Son of God, so should the woman be subordinate to the man and co-equal in agreement as a wife within marriage.
1 Corinthians 11:3 KJV But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Many have debated what a woman’s head covering is; I will argue only that long hair serves as a covering for women and that men and women should remain distinct in their appearances, dressing modestly in the church.
1 Corinthians 11:13 KJV Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
1 Corinthians 11:14 KJV Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1 Corinthians 11:15 KJV But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1 Corinthians 11:16 KJV But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
The LORD rebuked the Corinthians through the letters of Paul numerous times, and there are churches that have turned their heresies into doctrine and practices.
1 Corinthians 11:18 KJV For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
1 Corinthians 11:19 KJV For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
I have seen churches hold more potlucks in a year than the Lord’s Supper. This year, our church has felt impressed to participate in the Lord’s Supper while reciting the remembrance passage from this chapter most Sundays.
1 Corinthians 11:20 KJV When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
1 Corinthians 11:21 KJV For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1 Corinthians 11:22 KJV What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
Lord’s Supper Remembrance:
1 Corinthians 11:23 KJV For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1 Corinthians 11:24 KJV And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians 11:25 KJV After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians 11:26 KJV For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
If you are in unrepentant sin and take the Lord’s Supper, you mock the sacrifice of God. However, God will not be mocked.
1 Corinthians 11:27 KJV Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:28 KJV But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1 Corinthians 11:29 KJV For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1 Corinthians 11:30 KJV For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1 Corinthians 11:31 KJV For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1 Corinthians 11:32 KJV But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
It is biblically permissible for women to advocate for themselves and what is right in the LORD before authority.
Numbers 27:1 KJV Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
Numbers 27:2 KJV And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Numbers 27:3 KJV Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
Numbers 27:4 KJV Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
Numbers 27:5 KJV And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
Numbers 27:6 KJV And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers 27:7 KJV The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
The LORD God is the God of all living flesh, whether they choose to serve Him or not. Those who choose not to serve Him will be eternally separated from Him upon death. Those who serve God are to lead His people, not those who serve themselves.
Numbers 27:16 KJV Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
Numbers 27:17 KJV Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
Numbers 27:18 KJV And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

Revelation 1:16 KJV And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
If the sharp sword of the mouth did not ring any bells for you, take notice of the light to the Gentiles and the fact that the Servant, Israel, is the salvation to reach the whole earth.
Isaiah 49:6 KJV And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Ephesians 4:8 KJV Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

The Gentiles have been carrying the flag of Christ for some time now, not the Jews.
