(A Page From The Life Book  Of Theodore H. Epp—Back to the Bible Founder)

Theodore H. Epp The Founder Director of Back to the Bible Int.

On the fifth of July, 1939, during that first year of the ministry, our pantry was empty except for a can of beans and a little bacon. And we had only three cents in the cash box.

Our oldest daughter, then six, offered to go to the dairy and get a bottle of skim milk, which cost three cents. My heart was thoroughly discouraged. I paced the floor.

A week had gone by, and we had not received one single letter. This was Thursday. Friday’s broadcast was paid for, but we didn’t have one cent with which to pay for the broadcast the following week. What should we do? What could we do?

Politics is a dirty business.  How often have you heard those word?

But government service can be as much a ministry as serving in the local church.  Paul said those who serve in positions of authority are “God’s minister to you for good” (Romans 13:4).  The Mayor of the town is as much God’s appointee as the pastor of the church.

J is for Jerusalem And Jesus Christ

Jerusalem:  It is the holy city for Jews, Christians and Muslims.  It is the capital city of a tiny land called Israel.

 In the 1948 Arab Israeli war it became divided into two Israel and the Arab Country of Jordan.  Israel held West Jerusalem and Jordan controlled East Jerusalem.  Israel won East Jerusalem in the brief Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and combined it with the western zone.  West Jerusalem is the modern part of the city. East Jerusalem includes the Old City the place for many ancient monuments of holy places.

Jews consider it a holy city because it was their political and religious center in Biblical times.  Around 1000 B.C. King David made Jerusalem the capital of the united Israelite tribes, later David’s son Solomon built the first Temple of the Jews in the city.  Christians consider it holy because Jesus Christ was crucified there, and many events in his life on earth took place in this city.  Muslims believe that Muhammad, the founder of Islam rose to heaven from this city.  It is their third holiest city after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

Jerusalem‘s three-fourth population is Jews.  They live in West Jerusalem where some Christians and Muslims too live. At the same time East Jerusalem’s majority are Arabs, about four-fifth of them are Muslims. Rest is Catholics of the Byzantine Rite or people belonging to Greek Orthodox or Roman Catholic churches.  In short this city stands like a glittering diamond in the geographical centre of the earth.  And the destiny of all mankind is bound up in the life of this unique city.

Interestingly this city is also known as the city of three Sabbaths—Friday (Muslim) 
Saturday (Jewish) and 
Sunday (Christian).



As said, though it is a tiny little land its presence is visible almost every day in newspapers and other visual media.  If one look from the perspective of the Word of God, one begins to understand the battle that is raging over the status of Jerusalem, the immigration of Russian Jews, the resettlement of Judea and Samaria, and the very principle of Israel’s continued existence.  From its inception it has been set apart from other nations.  That uniqueness of separation is still continuing and it’s fighting for its survival in the midst of a hostile world. 



Why its presence is visible every day in the media? What is it that important to this little nation of over a five million people, occupying less than the one percentage of the earth’s surface?  Why such a nation be a stumbling block in international affairs, major nations are discussing it seriously in their debates and decision making?  And why is it the most sought after fiercely contested piece of real estate in the world?



To find out an answer to these questions one need to go into the pages of Bible and need to set Jerusalem and Israel apart from the rest of the world.  The Bible says: "The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein"  (Psalm 24:1). However God lays special claim to Israel in general, calling it “My Land” and Jerusalem in particular, calling it “My City”




In the eyes of man this city may not qualify as the biggest, the brightest or the best city in the world.  Yes, it lacks many features as the world count as best or greatest city.  Yet it holds a great splendor and glory that is incomparable to many other cities of the world.



Yes, its uniqueness stems from the fact that God has chosen this city to be the capital of His Kingdom.  From His Throne in Jerusalem, the Lord Jesus will rule over the nations, and from the nations people will come up to Jerusalem to worship the King.  The whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord and that glory will emanate from Messiah’s Throne in Jerusalem!



Of all the cities in the world, only Jerusalem is referred to as
The Holy City                                     (Isaiah 52:1)
The City of the Great King                 (Matthew 5:35)
The Throne of the Lord                      (Jeremiah 3:17)
The Place of God’s Name                    (2 Chronicles 33:4)
The Object of God’s Love                   (Psalm 87:1-3)
The Cause of God’s Joy                       (Isaiah 65: 19)
The Dwelling Place of God                   (Psalm 135:21)
The Seat of God’s Government            (Isaiah 2:3)
A Crown of Glory and a Royal Diadem (Isaiah 62:3)
The City of Truth                              (Zechariah 8:3)



In this sense, Jerusalem is the most ‘elevated city on the face of the earth!

But today it may be a dim reflection and at worst, a contradiction of its God-given designation.  But people of faith can see through the eye of the Spirit, the restoration of all things that the prophets have spoken.  This process of restoration will be completed in the day of our Lord’s appearing



Jesus Christ: The Savior of the World.


But unfortunately for many Jesus Christ is just a leader of one of the greatest religion in the world.


Yes Christianity or Christian religion was founded on His life and teachings.   But a majority of Christians believe that He is the Son of God who was sent by God the Father to earth to save humanity from their sins.  Even a good number of non-Christians too believe that He was a great and wise teacher lived ever.  In reality He is the Savior of the world. Those who believe in Him have everlasting life.  Yes this belief in Jesus Christ has united people from many lands.  Christians make up the largest religious group in the World.  Muhammad, the founder of Islam regarded Jesus Christ as a great prophet and adopted many of His ideas.  Moral standards of equality, responsibility and care for the weak owe much to Jesus’ lessons in brotherhood and kindness.


The first four books in the Bible’s New Testament tell about Jesus Christ and His life. These books are called Gospels (Good News).  

You can read these books here at these links: 



       1.   Matthew 


2.   Mark 

3.   Luke  

4.   John  

Here is a visual treat for those who want to see these Holy places.  No need to go to Jerusalem, sit at home and see those lovely places.  To watch and read more about this visual effect please click on the below link:

K For KNOWLEDGE What The Wise People Say....


  
Pic. Credit. iStock.com
Today’s alphabet  for the Challenge is “K”

Without any hesitant the word KNOWLEDGE came to my mind.
The dictionary says and I quote: “Information and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

What is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information.

I did a search to find out what exactly the wise and intelligent people has to say about this:

Here are some quotes for the day I collected from different sources.

The first and foremost one touched me is the one Theodore Roosevelt’s  and Dr. Woodrow Kroll's quotes:

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt

The Key to godliness is not more knowledge but more obedience to God.
Dr. Woodrow Kroll

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin

Science investigates religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Information is not knowledge.
Albert Einstein

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own
ignorance.
Benjamin Franklin

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative
expression and knowledge.
Albert Einstein

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly
to heaven.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
Confucius

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
Audrey Hepburn

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true
knowledge.
Socrates

The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.
John F. Kennedy

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
Bruce Lee

Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil Gibran

All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have
knowledge.
Lao Tzu

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
Aristotle

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
Jimi Hendrix

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.
Plato

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.
Napoleon Hill
