ATLAS SHRUGS: SHOT TWICE, Manhattan
Garage Worker Is Charged with Attempted Murder After Grabbing Gun In Self
Defense - Sunday, April 2, 2023 10:09 - In Democrat-run cities, there is no
justice. There are two choices, let them kill you, or spend the rest of your
life in jail. This is Alvin Braggs idea of ‘justice’ — prosecuting the good
guys. “The ironic thing is if he would have just robbed the garage and got
caught, Bragg would have let him go, but now he wants to charge both of them,”
one police officer said. (Comment: The OBiden communist regime is working at
warp speed to try and take your guns away while their lawless society continues
to run wild. Stores have shuttered in Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Chicago, Detroit; all Democrat run cities that have the same narrative. What we
the people need to do is look at the schools in Israel who have teachers that
carry weapons in their classrooms to guard against attack by terrorists. The
Jewish state, which has long faced threats of terrorist strikes in crowded
locations including schools, takes an all-of-the-above approach to safety in
the classroom. Fences, metal detectors and armed private guards are part of a
strategy overseen by the country’s national police. And the idea of armed
teachers in the classroom, which stirred much controversy in the wake of the
U.S. attack, has long been in practice in Israel.) https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/04/shot-twice-manhattan-garage-worker-is-charged-with-attempted-murder-after-grabbing-gun-in-self-defense-3659137.html

WATCHERS: Massive snowfall results in
California’s largest snowpack on record - Friday, March 31, 2023 - 17
atmospheric rivers and several non-atmospheric-river storms since December 2022
pushed California’s snowpack to its largest level in recorded history,
surpassing the previous record set in 1982-1983. In addition, the state’s
drought conditions have improved significantly since the start of the water
year, with severe to exceptional drought conditions now covering only 6.99% of
the area, down from 93% just one year ago. California now boasts its largest
snowpack in recorded history, with a statewide snowpack of 236% of the peak
normal and nearly 300% in the Southern Sierra. As of March 30, 2023, the
California Department of Water Resources reports that the statewide average
snow water content stands at 154.4 cm (60.8 inches), breaking the previous
record of 153.2 cm (60.3 inches) set in May 1983. https://watchers.news/2023/03/31/massive-snowfall-results-in-californias-largest-snowpack-on-record/
The Resurrection in Prophecy – An
analysis
by Dr. David R. Reagan
Published on: April 7, 2014
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
April 2nd 2023
The resurrection of the Messiah was
well established in the Hebrew prophetic scriptures long before the death and
resurrection of Jesus.
The Prophecies of David and Isaiah
The most straight forward and best
known of the resurrection prophecies is the one penned by David in Psalm 16:10,
written a thousand years before the birth of Jesus: “For Thou wilt not abandon
my soul to Sheol; neither wilt Thou allow Thy Holy One to undergo decay.”
On the Day of Pentecost, when Peter
preached the first Gospel sermon, he boldly asserted that God had raised Jesus
from the dead (Acts 2:24). He then explained that God had performed this
miraculous deed in fulfillment of David’s prophecy in Psalm 16. In fact, he
quoted the words of David in detail as contained in Psalm 16:8-11. Years later,
Paul did the same thing when he spoke to the Jews of Antioch in Pisidia. Like
Peter, he declared that God had raised Jesus from the dead in fulfillment of
Psalm 16:10 (Acts 13: 33-35).
The resurrection of the Messiah is
strongly inferred in another of David’s psalms — namely Psalm 22. The first
eighteen verses of this incredible psalm describe the suffering of the Messiah
in vivid detail, even mentioning the nature of His death: “They pierced my
hands and my feet” (Psalm 22:16). Then, in verses 19-21, the suffering Savior
prays for deliverance “from the lion’s mouth” (a metaphor for Satan). This
desperate prayer is then followed immediately in verses 22-24 by a hymn of
praise in which the Messiah thanks God for hearing His prayer and delivering
Him. The resurrection of the Messiah is clearly inferred between the ending of
the prayer in verse 21 and the beginning of the praise song in verse 22.
The resurrection is spoken of more
pointedly in Isaiah’s famous “Suffering Savior” passage in Isaiah 53. After
prophesying that the Savior would suffer for our sins and then be “cut off out
of the land of the living,” Isaiah states that He “will see His offspring” and
that God the Father will “prolong His days” (Isaiah 53:5, 8 & 10). Isaiah
proceeds to reaffirm the promise of the resurrection in different words: “As a
result of the anguish of His soul, He will see light and be satisfied . . .”
(Isaiah 53:11).
The Prophecies of Jesus
But prophecies of the resurrection
are not confined to the Old Testament. The New Testament contains many of them
in the teachings of Jesus. Perhaps the earliest one is recorded in John 2 which
tells the story of Jesus’ first visit to Jerusalem after the inauguration of
His ministry. The Jews asked Him for a sign to prove that He was the Messiah.
Jesus responded with a startling statement: “Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up” (John 2:19). The Jews thought He was talking about
Herod’s Temple, but John says, “He was speaking of the temple of His body”
(John 2:21). And John adds an interesting observation: “When therefore He was
raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this; and they
believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken” (John 2:22).
Later, in His Good Shepherd discourse
recorded in John 10, Jesus stated that the day would come when He would lay
down His life on His own initiative. But, He immediately asserted that just as
He would lay down His life on His own authority, He had the authority to “take
it up again” (John 10:17-18).
At the tomb of Lazarus, right before
Jesus demonstrated His power over death by raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus
said to Martha: “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me
shall live even if he dies” (John 11:25).
Many times throughout His ministry,
Jesus spoke privately to His disciples about His death and resurrection. For
example, right after Peter’s famous confession of Jesus as the Son of God, we
are told that “from that time, Jesus Christ began to show His disciples that He
must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day” (Matthew 16:21
and Mark 8:31).
In Matthew’s gospel it is revealed
that immediately after His Transfiguration, Jesus told His disciples that they
should not share the experience with anyone until after He was raised from the
dead (Matthew 17:9). Mark relates the same story in his gospel, but he adds
that the disciples “seized upon that statement [that He would be raised from
the dead], discussing with one another what rising from the dead might mean”
(Mark 9:9-10). It appears that the disciples never fully comprehended the
meaning of Jesus’ prophecies about His resurrection until after the
resurrection had actually occurred.
Even though the disciples always
seemed to be bewildered by statements about His resurrection, Jesus continued
to make the claim to them that He would be killed and then resurrected on the
third day (Matthew 17:22-23; 20:18-19; 26:31-32; Mark 10:32-34; and Luke
18:31-33).
Symbolic Prophecies
In speaking of His resurrection,
Jesus often resorted to the use of a powerful symbolic prophecy. He called it
the “sign of Jonah.” When the Jews would ask Him for a sign (that is, a
miracle) to prove that He was the Messiah, he would respond by saying, “An evil
and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it,
except the sign of Jonah” (Matthew 16:4). On at least one occasion, He defined
exactly what he meant by this rather enigmatic expression: “Just as Jonah was
three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of
Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Matthew 12:40).
The resurrection is also symbolically
portrayed in the life of Joseph. His brothers betrayed him just as Jesus was
betrayed by His Jewish brethren. Joseph’s brothers then threw him in a pit and
told his father that he was dead. Jesus actually died at the hands of His
brethren. But Joseph was rescued from the pit in a symbolic resurrection that
pointed to the actual resurrection of the Messiah. Later, Joseph presented
himself to his brothers, and they received him as their savior, just as Jesus
will one day reappear when the Jewish people are willing to look upon Him who
they have pierced and cry out, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the
Lord!” (Zechariah 12:10 and Matthew 22:39).
One of the most beautiful and moving
portrayals of the resurrection in symbolic prophecy can be found in the life of
Abraham when he was told by God to sacrifice his precious son, Isaac. As
Abraham was ready to plunge the knife into his son, an angel restrained him,
and his son’s life was given back to him as a symbol of the Messiah’s
resurrection. The writer of Hebrews recognized the symbolism of this story when
he wrote: “He [Abraham] considered that God is able to raise men even from the
dead; from which he also received him [Isaac] back as a type” (Hebrews 11:19).
The Fact of the Resurrection
These prophecies were fulfilled when
Jesus of Nazareth was raised from the dead. His triumph over the grave
certifies that He was who He said He was — namely, the Son of God (Acts 13:33).
Jesus has overcome death, the great
enemy that is feared by all mankind (Hebrews 2:15). He has therefore been given
authority over both death (the body) and Hades (the spirit). Jesus Himself
proclaimed this great truth to John on the island of Patmos: “Do not be afraid;
I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I
am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades” (Revelation
1:17-18).
One day soon Jesus will appear in the
heavens. He will bring with Him the spirits of those who have died with their faith
placed in Him. He will resurrect their bodies in a great miracle of
restoration, and then He will reunite their spirits with their bodies, giving
them glorified bodies that will be perfect and immortal (1 Thessalonians
4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:42-44, 51-54).
