We used to call ourselves Christian Bible Portable Church, remember that? And we can't do that anymore, we're not portable. Christian Bible Portable McDonald's Church is actually what we call ourselves. Okay, continue our study this morning on I thought about changing a little bit on the way in this morning, but I don't think I'll do that. But I will do one thing before we continue. Turn over to Revelation chapter 7, if you will. Revelation chapter 7, this has nothing to do with the message. I'm going to ask you a question, see if you can answer it. I'm going to do what might call, I'm going to leave you hanging. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave you hanging, because once in a while you need that. Just turn over to Revelation chapter 7. I'll be there shortly. OK. Revelation chapter 7, I want you to notice something in verse 4 here, if you will, and I heard the number of them which were sealed, which were sealed, and there were sealed 140 and 4,000 of all the tribes of the children of Israel. By the way, the Jehovah Witnesses say that they're part of the 144,000, well, if they're not of you, they're a liar, and they are. One of the most damnable religions in the world, the Jehovah Witnesses, is anyhow. God said of the tribe of Judah, 12,000, of the tribe of Ruben, 12,000, of the tribe of Ged, 12,000, of the tribe of Asher, were 12,000, of the tribe of Natali, 12,000, of the tribe of Manessa, 12,000, of the tribe of Simeon, were sealed 12,000, of the tribe of Levi, 12,000, of the tribe of Issacar, 12,000, of the tribe of Zebulon, 12,000, of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000, and the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000. Now hold your place right there and turn over to Genesis, chapter 30. This hold your place will be coming back to your shortly. Now we're not going to read all these, but we have here the names of the 12 tribes of Israel in Genesis, chapter 30, as they were born to Jacob. Jacob, whose name was renamed Israel, who was the father of the 12 tribes. And beginning here in chapter 30, go here, if you will, to verse 4. And she gave him, Bill, her hand made his wife and Jacob went in under her and Bill conceived and bore Jacob as son. And Rachel said, God, have just me, have also heard my voice, and it's given me a sum. Therefore, college sheet has named Dan. One of the 12 tribes of Israel was named Dan. Remember that. We have all these names here. Ruben, Simeon, Levi, etc., and Dan. Now, turn back over to Revelation chapter 7, if you will. In Revelation chapter 7, we have the names of the 12 tribes of Israel, Judah, Ruben, Gad, Asher, Nephtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Hissikar, Zebulon, Joseph, Benjamin, but no Dan. That's strange. What's that? Yeah, that's my question. Don't tell anybody. The name of Dan was changed with the name of Manasseh, but it's It's not Dan, it's a different tribe, it's a different name altogether. Why in the world is that? Don't tell him, I'm going to let you think about it. I'm going to give you some verses to look up, and then I'll help you to understand it. And the only reason I bring this up is there's a lot of things in the Bible that someone's going to say, well, you see God contradicts himself, and you can't trust the Bible. Sad blah, blah, blah. No, there's a reason for everything. But Bible is 100% the truth. It's the Word of God, it's accurate. Never lies. Doesn't contradict itself. There's a reason for it. And let me give you some verses. Genesis chapter 35, 22 to 26, names of 12 tribes. Ban is listed. And so you want to write down a revelation chapter 7. Verse 4 through 8. And that gives you the 12 tribes that are going to go into the 7-year kingdom or in the Zodnier Kingdom rather. The tribe of Dan is missing. Now let me give you some more verses. Joshua, chapter 19, verse 40. And don't be why the tribe of Dan is missing. Joshua, chapter 19, verse 40. And will they go into the kingdom? Is God unrighteous to see dishonorable, you see it? But there's a reason for it. And I don't expect you to come up with it, but at least you'll be close. Judges, chapter 18, verse 14 through 36. judges 18, verse 14 through 36, and we'll then go into the thousand-year Kingdom with the rest of Israel. Let me give you some verses to go along with that. Ezekiel chapter 37 verses 15 through 17, and chapter 48, Ezekiel chapter 48 wouldn't hurt to read the whole thing. So you can come up with the answer. I gave I don't know, I think I gave you guys a paper dance on or didn't I give you guys a paper on and I put it in the back on Revelation, how to understand Revelation? Did I explain that in there? I don't remember. Okay, well I think I explained what this means and there's a paper in the back if there's any left and you get there first you can get the paper and explains why the tribe of man has not mentioned in Revelation chapter 7. You're probably thinking yourself, why do I need to know that? Because you need to be able to prove the Bible, that's what you need to know. As a Christian, you need to be able to open up the Bible, understand it. You don't need to have some ugly preacher teach it to you. You don't need to have some preacher straightened out for you. You need to be able to go to the Bible, read it, learn it, and understand it for yourself. You say, well, why do I need to do that? I'll tell you want. God calls the Bible wisdom. And with wisdom you get understanding. And when you get understanding you learn not only to understand the Bible and prophecy, you learn to understand yourself. And when you learn to understand yourself and others, you'll lead a much happier life. A much understanding will bring happiness. Now let's begin this morning, if you will, with our study in Luke chapter 24, if you will. Turn in your Bible, Luke chapter 24. While you're turning there, I'm going to read something to you. You don't have to turn here if you don't, if you don't want to. Just go to Luke chapter 24 and I'd like to read something to you from Proverbs chapter 3. We began last week, two verses in Proverbs chapter 3, verse 13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, the Word of God, and the man that geteth understanding. Notice the word happy. Happy, do you know the Bible very well at all? I'm sure most of you do. Yes, you do. Does the Bible make me happy? Yes. Why? Because it proves itself. You don't want to prove Jesus Christ is God, Jesus Christ died on the cross. He's coming again, it proves all these things. Happy is the man who gets wisdom and the man that gets understanding. Verse 18, she, that's wisdom, is a tree of life, not some woman by the way. The word doesn't mean some woman, fellas, so get over that. See is a tree of light to those who lay hold upon her. Bill Clinton might have known that or mine. And happy is everyone that retaineth her, wisdom, and if you retain her, you'll be happy why because it gives you understanding. Okay, now, further that, turning up your Bible to Luke chapter 24, you're probably already there. Go to verse 17. In Luke chapter 24, let me stop here for a moment and explain something. A few weeks ago, maybe it's been longer than that. We began going through the Bible looking at pictures of and types of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament. In the New Testament we have Jesus Christ revealed in the Old Testament we have Jesus Christ concealed, but he's still there. And we've been going through the Old Testament. Isaac is the type of Christ. Jacob is the type of Christ. Abraham is the type of Christ. Moses, we looked at Ruth last week and Boaz. She finally married Boaz and became a Jew. Boaz was the type of Christ. We may have time to take a look there shortly. I don't know. But throughout the Old Testament we have pictures of Jesus Christ throughout the Old Testament. What does that do when I see Jesus Christ as I see pictures of Christ in Joseph, Isaac, Jacob and all these people, and I go back and study their lives. It gives me wisdom and understanding on what to do and what not to do. What to do when I serve God? Don't walk, we saw Naomi last week. Her and her husband walked away from God, went to the Moabites, served false gods, and she lost everything. Naomi lost everything she had. And then we looked at Ruth who had an entirely different attitude altogether. if we have time this morning, we'll look at that. Go down here, if you will. Let's begin in verse probably 16, probably the best place to go. Verse 15, or 16. Now, remember Jesus Christ had been crucified. He was buried in a tomb. And then in verse 16, and we have in verse 13, we have two of his disciples walking down the road to from a village and they were walking down the road, verse 14, and they walked together of all the things which had happened, of the death and the burial of Christ and all the other things that it took. That's what they were talking about. And it came to pass that while they commune together and reasoned Jesus himself through near and went with them. Now, I want to stop here for just a minute and I want you to pay attention to what that There are a lot of churches in the world today that talk about Christ. They commune together, and they reason together, and Jesus Himself drew near and went with them, but they don't really see Him. They don't see Him as He really is. They see Him as a prophet, as an example. What if they see all kinds of things? But they don't see the truth. That's what these young men were done. They were reasoning with the guy and Christ walked with them, but they didn't recognize it. But their eyes were holding that they should not see or recognize him. A lot of churches don't recognize Christ as what he really is. And he said unto them, what manner of communications are these that you have one with another as you walk and are sad? And you know how many people wake up in the morning, determined to have a bad day, determined to be unhappy. Determined, the things aren't going to go well today. Get up in the morning and make up your mind. I talked to a young lady down here in Madison, North Madison at the dollar store. I shop at the dollar store because I'm cheap. Goodwill is one of my favorite stores. And I'm just a cheap old man. And I'm so cheap that I won't go and buy a good pair of pants that I go to Walmart. And I pay $12.95. The only problem is you can't get a size 33 for $12.95. It's either $32.34 or $36, and I wear a $33. So I have to go one size bigger and get a belt and tighten it up a little bit. But I don't mind saving $5 because I'm so darn cheap. As a matter of fact, I'm so cheap, I'll drive 20 miles to pay to save $2 and spend $6 for gas. Isn't that something? But anyway, I better get for them. And he said unto them, what manner of communications are these that you have one with another as you walk and are sad? So they were sad. You know why? They didn't have any understanding. They didn't understand the word of God. They had no idea what was going on. You know what happiness comes with wisdom and with wisdom comes understanding. You know what the Bible will do for you? When you watch things going on in the world, And all the unhappy, all the doom, everything is doom and gloom. One of the ladies will tell me this morning that she heard that the rainfall in Ohio is less than it should be. That's impossible. I just don't see how that's possible. It rains every day all day and all night. I don't know how the doom and gloom, everything is doom and gloom. You know what if you're a state born again Christian looking forward to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, you should not live in doom and gloom. Look up. He's coming soon, you know. Anyhow, on one of them, verse 18, whose name was Cleopus, answering, said on them, art out only a stranger in Jerusalem. Well, actually he was. He was, really. But anyway, it has not known the things which are come to pass there in these days. And he said on them, what things he can do, you know, what thing. And they said unto him concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a, now this is very important, this is an important word, who was a prophet. You know what they forgot? He wasn't a prophet, even though he was a prophet, he was God. If you have a pen or a pencil in your hand, you should circle that word, drop it and write God next to it. They forgot the fact that he was God. I don't know if I do that best class for me. Mark it in your Bible like that. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Mark in it. He was God. And they went on to say, who was their prophet? Might indeed, and word before God, and all the people. No, he wasn't mighty indeed before God. He was mighty indeed because he was God. He is God. Always has been God. That's why he's mighty indeed. and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and have crucified him. And we trusted, no you didn't. We trusted that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel. And besides all this, today is the third day since these things were done. Did they ever the group of people that did not understand who Christ was, what he did, what he was in the process of doing. They just had no, we hope that he delivered Israel and redeem as well. What were they looking for? The kingdom. Do you know what they didn't realize? Before they could get the kingdom, they had to get the Savior. In order to get the Savior, Christ had to die on a cross. They just didn't get it. That's why when we go through the Old Testament and look at examples, when Abraham offered his son Isaac, he was a type of Christ. Christ had to be offered, did he not? He had to be offered. He had. Yeah, and certain women who were early at the subpocture and certain women, I missed the whole sentence, but also of our company, made us astonished who were early at the subpocture. When they found out his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. And certain of those who were with us, went to the Sepulchers, found out that even as the women had said, but him they saw not. You know what the problem is? Him they saw not. You know what they didn't see? The Savior, the risen Savior. He told them time and time again. I'm going to be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Then he was going to rise again. He told them, you know what the problem was? They lacked the wisdom. They lacked wisdom. Then he said in verse 25, this is very important for 25. Then he's old fools. And slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken, all that the prophets, you see, every word in the Old Testament is a testimony to Jesus Christ the Lord. If you can't go through the Bible through the Old Testament and find pictures of Jesus Christ, you know what you need to do? Read it again. He's there. He's in every picture, every sentence, and every word because he is the word of God. And then he said in verse 26, ought not price to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory. And then he opened up their eyes. They begin to see, they begin to get wisdom, they begin to get knowledge and notice how they did it. Verse 27, Mark this verse in your Bible, and if you've got something to mark it with, mark it in a colored pencil, whatever you can do. And beginning at Moses, you know what Moses is? Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. That's Moses, all five books. Beginning at Moses and all the prophets. He founded unto them in all the scriptures, the things concerning him self. You see? And that's why we do what we do. That's why I've been going through the Old Testament and Genesis showing you pictures of Christ and all the scriptures that things concerning himself, I had a priest, a fellow say to me not too long ago, then going to a church he said, I get tired of the preacher. He said, everything is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. I couldn't believe he said it. Everything is Jesus. He said, one of the teachers about Christian living. And I thought about that and I said, you know what? I didn't say any time, but there is no Christian living without Jesus Christ. That's foolish. You can't live a Christian life without Christ. What I'm thinking about without acknowledging it, you can't do it, it's a ridiculous. Verse 31, on down here if you will, and their eyes were opened and they knew him, they not only saw him, they knew him, recognizing. And he vanished out of their sight, he said, boy, that's interesting, not only interesting, it's important. Have you seen Jesus today by the way? Was he hitchhiking on your way down the church and I think did you see him? I don't think so. But you can still recognize him. The only word that no is in the Greek, it means to see a thing as it really is. To know. Epicnosis. It means to see a thing as it really is. Once you see Christ as he really is, that's when you're really learning to live. Verse 32. And they said one to another, And I remember in verse 17 he said, why do you think the field of way you do and are sad? And are sad. And then he opened up their eyes and revealed everything from the scriptures and noticed what they said in verse 32. And they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us along the way. And while he opened to us the scriptures, notice where they went from being sad to the burning heart. Isn't that something? Why? Because they got wisdom and through wisdom they got understanding you see now let's turn back if you will We just had to lay the foundation once again back to the book of root if you will try to finish that up this morning So we can get on the Joseph next week and finish up Joseph The book of root but right before the book of root is something else We need to point out in the book of judges very last chapter very last verse You don't have to turn very far from judges to the book of Ruth because it follows. But I want you to look in verse 24, the very last chapter of Judges in my Bible, it's right next to the book of Ruth here, verse 24 and 25, very last chapter of the book of Judges, if you will. These two verses set up the rest of the Bible by the way. These two verses set up the rest of the Bible historically. And the children of Israel depart it from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family. And they went out from there every man to his inheritance. Remember, we just talked about all the tribes of Israel. And I gave you a question, the answer. And we gave you the 12 tribes, the tribe of Dan, the tribe of this, etc., etc. gave every tribe of Israel their own inheritance, every family, there might have been a hundred thousand people in each tribe, God gave each one of them piece of property, and each one went out to his inheritance, his own property, and that's where they lived. You see, no there wasn't any communism, no socialism, none of that garbage, no political correctness. They They had their own property, they went out and raised wheat, corn, barley, tomatoes, all kinds of other stuff. I don't know if they had tomatoes or not, but they had their own property, their own farm. They raised hogs. No, they didn't. They hated hogs. That's why I'm going to take takes blood on playing with them because they don't like hog blood either. They raised everything. No one is at, verse 25, this is very important. In those days there was no king in Israel. No king in Israel, however, God was their ruler. He ruled through judges. They had no king, no earthly king, however Christ was their king. They just didn't realize it, they didn't acknowledge it, they didn't want it that way, and most Christians don't today. Did you ever see him by first get saved by putting your faith and trust in Christ and And then the first thing somebody says to him, well, you got to serve the Lord. Oh, no, you mean I became a Christian just to serve the Lord and get religion. No, I don't want to do that. I want to go back to Egypt. Well, that's where most people feel. There was no king in Israel. And here's something that you need to mark down in your Bible. Mark this in your Bible. Every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Guess what? It was wrong. If you do what's right in your own eyes, guarantee you it'll be wrong. It'll come from your old simple nature. It'll be wrong. God will not be happy with it because it'll be what is right in your own eyes. The only way to do the right thing is to do what's right in God's eyes. Now, am I going to do that if I don't know what's right in God's eyes? I'll tell you what's right in God's eyes. It's in the Bible. Read it. That's what's writing God's eyes whatever is right in God's eyes he wrote in the Bible and if you don't read the Bible you'll never know. You'll never know what's right in God's eyes. You'll never know how to live. You'll never know how to act. You'll never know how to react. You know that we live in a world full of events and circumstances. Some of those you cannot change. Someone falls out in front Whenever you have an automobile accident, maybe somebody in your car dies, that's an event in a circumstance you cannot change. But are you going to go through life unhappy because of an event you cannot change? You probably will if you don't know God and how to react and act when these things happen in your life. If you don't know that there's a future in Christ, you'll probably dwell on it and life will become absolutely terrible. But if you don't know what God says and how He feels about things, if you don't know who to go to for forgiveness than how you're going to deal with life. You know what Jesus said? He forgives you every day and every day and all you have to do is ask him. Every time I commit a sin, like when I cut the waterline, I'm not going to tell you what I did or what I said. I really don't remember, but probably wasn't good. But you know what? Jesus Christ forgives you every day and every day. I don't know where His blood is, but I do know one thing it covers a lot. When you do that which is right in your own eyes it's often times going to be wrong and they had their own property. Now then back over to Book of Ruth here if you will and try to finish up here this morning. Remember Naomi and look back in verse 1 of chapter 1 of Book of Ruth it came to pass in those days when the judges ruled there was no king in Israel. Remember the judges ruled. Who was the judge by the way? Anybody tell me what the judges were, who they were, what they did, how they operated? Yes. Very good. Very good, absolutely. A judge was an intermediary, but basically, between God and man. Anytime a problem came up, they would go to the judge and say, hey, what does God want us to do? The judge would go to the Lord through prayer and And the Lord tell him what to do, and he'd come back, but the nation of Israel really wasn't happy with that. They wanted a human king. Someone, they didn't want God over, they wanted somebody they could see, somebody visible. And that's why most of us are today. And it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to Sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. They say, well, what's the big deal about that? Well, it's very simple. Didn't we just read in verse 24, the last chapter of Judges, that the driver of Israel departed and every man went to his own inheritance, his own piece of property that God gave him. He gave it up. Naomi and her husband and the two sons gave up their God-given property, walked away, You know something, whenever God's children backslide, they always walk away full and come back empty. I've seen it time and time again. You have everything that God can give you, but it's not enough. You know, it's a funny thing that when a Christian becomes full and has everything they need, they don't need God. Isn't that something? And one of the ladies told me this morning that she was blessed by God recently. But you know what, she's lucky person because she saw it. Most Christians don't see it. When they receive God's blessings, they don't acknowledge it. I have what I need, I don't need God anymore. Or you fool, don't you know where it came from? God gave it to you. You didn't get it from nothing. It came from God, acknowledging, stick with it. Because when you give up and walk away from God, whenever you do come back, you'll always be empty. and that's what happened to, but then you look at, turn over here to chapter two, if you will, the book of truth. So I'm not gonna go into all the Bible and the Old Testament, what happened to the property and so forth, but it went over to a man by the name of Boatz. In verse two, chapter two, verse one, rather, and Naomi had a kinsman of her husbands, a mighty man of wealth, the family of El Emileek and his name was Boatz. And Ruth, the Moabitis, said unto Noemi, Naomi, let me now go to the field and glean ears of grain, after him and whose sight I shall find grace. Now hold on just a second. Who exactly is she talking about? I think most people would think that she's talking about the last, but I honestly think she's talking about the Lord Almighty. And whose sight I shall find grace? And she said unto her, go my Now here's two things about the growth that we need to know. I think Ruth was probably a happy camper and I'm going to give you three reasons why. Number one, she went to work. She had a goal. Without a goal, you'll never be happy. Without anything to look forward to, to lean on, to the head forward, to go towards you'll never be happy. Have a goal. Doesn't matter what it is, a small goal. Don't make anything too big, by the way, because if you make a goal that you can't meet, you won't be happy. You have a small goal. Just a small goal here, a little goal there. When you accomplish that goal, set another one. And then another one. And then you always have something to look forward to. You see, and if you're married, then the best thing to do is have a goal together. You can't always do that because you have different aspirations, different feelings, different desires, different things you want to do. You can't always do that, but you always oftentimes should have a goal together and so Ruth had a goal and that is she was going to go out and get a job and because she was an unselfish person she decided to go out and get a job and earn money and bring food home for Naomi because she was on you know another thing that will make you happy unselfishness. A selfish person is often never happy. And so she did, she went out to work and she went out to Gleene and we could look at the doctrine of Gleeneing. I don't know if you want to write it down, but let it be because chapter 19 of Deuteronomy 24, you'll find the Gleeneing and the reasons for it and we could go to look at that and it's all because God was behind it, but the Gleeneing was very important to the nation of Israel. And let's just talk about it briefly before we close. You know what the Gleeneing meant? when the nation of Israel went out to collect their harbors, that if they left a little sheep behind, or a little bit of the oats, or a little bit of the corn, God said, don't go back and get it, or if it falls on the ground, leave it for what, for the stranger, for the poor? He said, well, that sure is nice, or there's a lot more to it than that. What's nice about it is the fact that it showed the world around Israel that they had a God that not only provided Israel's needs, but also theirs. I think I'm going to close with this, but the example is this, when people see Christ in your life, it gives them pictures of God. Oftentimes they might want what you have. If they see joy, peace, contentment in your life, they might want what you have. And if they want what you have, it gives you the opportunity to tell them about the wonderful God that you know that died on the cross for you and provides your daily needs. Basically, that's what cleaning is all about. It takes a little bit of a little bit of oats, a little bit of corn, and maybe somebody will put their faith in trust in Jesus Christ. A gleaming is a good example of what Linda and the people that she's doing when they give out clothes and so forth. They're giving, they're giving something to somebody that has a need so that maybe out of it someone might trust Jesus Christ. That's what the world is all about. That's what light is all about. You know when I die and leave this world you know what I'm gonna stand before the judgment seat of Christ that's where every Christian stand and Christ is going to you're going to be rewarded for what you've done but you know what you're going to find in heaven you won't find your Chevy you won't find your favorite seat your favorite chair you won't find your little puppy dog up there your little kitty that's I doubt very much if you're going to see them I don't know for sure I I could go on about that for a while but I'm not I don't know what you're going to find but I do know one thing that you're going to find in heaven, what you've done for Jesus Christ. And what you'll find in heaven that you've done for Jesus Christ are souls. So you can give a thousand dollars every Sunday to church that you're not going to find that in heaven. You can work manually. You can come out and work on this church and I've done it many, many, many years, but I'm not going to find that in heaven. That's not, I'm not going to be rewarded for that. What I'll be rewarded for is how many people got saved through my personal ministry. That's souls. That's the only thing you're going to find in heaven, souls, humanity, people. So when I look for my rewards, you know what I look for? How many people are going to be saved through my effort no matter what, even if it's just a little gleaming, you see? And that's the example. Well, we're way out of time again once again, and we'll have to close with that, but in clothing, let me do what we do every Sunday, or once in a while we forget, not always, but this began in Florida Bible College, I don't know how many years ago, a long time ago, God said, I'm a sinner, right? This hand represents me. I'm a sinner. That's me. This represents my sin. There's not much in it, but there's a lot of sin in my So I have sin. The Bible says needs paid for, Romans 6. 23, the wages, wages, that's what we pay. The wages of sin is dead. I should go to hell and pay for my own sin. However, because of Jesus Christ, this hand represents Christ. He died on the cross for me 2,000 years ago. shed his blood. If I believe in him, John 6.47, Christ says, who's whoever believe it in me, what means faith and trust. It means to trust the fact that he died on a cross from my sin. He said, very second, I believe that, my sins are paid. That's the beginning, isn't it? When you begin there, life begins there. A new beginning begins there. Now you can gain wisdom, understanding, happiness, joy, peace and contentment through Jesus Christ.

We thank you for Jesus Christ who did die on the cross for us, gave us the opportunity the ability to learn this word, what a little bit it is or what how much it is, at least it's something. The word of the Lord gives us wisdom and the ability to understand our circumstances, our events, our lives, and the world around us, and our future hope in glory.

But whatever. Okay, we'll sing. I don't know, last verse here.

We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine. Thank you.
