Scriptures
Isaiah 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

New Covenant - בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה - B'rit Hadasha

Jeremiah 31:31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

Bible Hub
The New Covenant is inaugurated through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At the Last Supper, Jesus explicitly identifies His sacrificial death as the establishment of this covenant: "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you" (Luke 22:20). The Apostle Paul reiterates this in his epistles, emphasizing that believers are ministers of a new covenant, "not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life" (2 Corinthians 3:6).
Forgiveness of sins is made possible through the atoning sacrifice of Christ, who "offered one sacrifice for sins for all time" (Hebrews 10:12).
The New Covenant extends to all humanity. Jesus commissioned His disciples to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19), signifying the global reach of the New Covenant.
The New Covenant brings about a transformation of the heart and mind, enabling believers to live in righteousness and holiness. Paul describes this transformation as being "renewed in the spirit of your minds" (Ephesians 4:23).

Paul Urges Forgiveness

2 Corinthians 2

1 But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.
2 For if I make you sorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

3 And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.

5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe.
6 This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man,
7 so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.
8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.
10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,
13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.
14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

Offenses; Faith; Duty; Kingdom

Luke 17

1 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?
8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”

11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation;
21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them.
24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31 “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
34 I tell you, in that night there will be two people in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together: the one will be taken and the other left.
36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”
37 And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”

When you don’t know why things are happening to you.


Click on YouTube icon in video to watch on YouTube, for additional references

This is subject that touches me directly. I was raised in a Catholic family. My Dad was a devout Christian, at least through my eyes as a child. He prayed daily, in the morning and before going to sleep.
He was killed in a car accident when I was 9 years old. He was my best friend. He picked me up from school to go to a movie or for some other entertainment. He took me to my Judo class 3 times a week, and stayed to observe and later comment or critique on my practices.
When he was no longer, I felt depressed. For over a year, I barely spoke to anyone, and became isolated.
Then of course, life grabbed a hold of me and I started to be active again. I can say that I had a tough childhood. I got in trouble with no one to correct me. My Mom couldn't handle me, to the point that she put me in a boarding school when I turned 12, and stayed in that school until 15, when they kicked me out of school.
I was ANGRY at God. I believed, but was angry at God for nearly 20 years. Until my 10 year old daughter reasoned me into accepting God's will, a will none of us can understand. During those 20 years, I was without a doubt a Sinner among sinners. And thanks to my little one, turned my life around.
50 years have passed, and I think I understand, that had my Dad been alive, I would have been spoiled. Instead, I had a tougher youth than many have had. And I'm thankful for the life lessons. Thank you Lord, may your Will be done.

Scriptures:
Habakkuk 1:1 The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw.
2 O Lord, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, “Violence!” And You will not save.
3 Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is powerless, And justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
5 “Look among the nations and watch— Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
6 For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation Which marches through the breadth of the earth, To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful; Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, And more fierce than evening wolves. Their chargers charge ahead; Their cavalry comes from afar; They fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence; Their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand.
10 They scoff at kings, And princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.
11 Then his mind changes, and he transgresses; He commits offense, Ascribing this power to his god.”
12 Are You not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, And cannot look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal treacherously, And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours A person more righteous than he?
Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.
2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.
Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Galatians 3:11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
2 Corinthians 1:24 Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for by faith you stand.
Matthew 5:43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

The Wicked and God's Mercies

Why doesn't God punish the wicked people of the World, while they are alive?

Praise for the Lord’s Mercies

Psalm 103
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

There has been many instances in Scriptures, when God executed immediate or delayed punishement for the Wicked.
The Flood was one of those punishements. A cleansing because
"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.", and a reset was done. In addition, God decreed My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”.

"You will not surely die", said the Satan to Eve. Well that was a lie. Adam, Eve and their descendants were to have eternal life, but behold, they did die.
The Tower of Babel:
“Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
Sodom and Gomorrah, were destroyed for their wickedness. But God sent two angels, to save Lot (cousin of Abraham) and his family, prior to the destruction. The daughters of Lot thought they were the only survivors in the World.

The Israelites were given Blessings and Curses in
Deuteronomy 28. Blessings if they obeyed God's Laws. Curses if they disobeyed. And what happened?
The Kingdom was split. Then the Assyrians (From Ashur, son of Shem, originated the Assyrians) invaded the Northern Kingdom. God initiated punishement to the Northern Kingdom, because they became wicked and disobedient, worshipped strange gods. But the Kingdom of Judah was untouched, the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem ended in disaster for the Assyrians. One Angel of God killed the 185,000 Assyrian soldiers camped about the city, overnight.
But then, a few centuries later, the Kingdom of Judah also became wicked. This time God chose Nebuchadnezzar. Babylon rampaged through the Kingdom of Judah, killed, pillaged, captured Israelites of Judah, and Levi.
The Persian Empire succeded the Assyrians and the Babylonians, and the Israelite captives, saw it's rise and with it, Kings Cyrus and Darius. He will later do God's redeeming for the people of Judah. Forgiveness was near for the Israelites in captivity. Although, those who were sold and traded by ships, who never repented, the curses remained for centuries.
God is merciful towards those who fear him. The people survivors of Judah did return to God. Among them, the famous sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

Ezra 1

7 King Cyrus also brought out the articles of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the temple of his gods;
8 and Cyrus king of Persia brought them out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.

Where there instances when God punished a single person for their actions? Indeed and it happened suddenly. Did Job offend God? The Bible doesn't mention it, yet...
Fact is that Israelites were held to a higher standard. They were tasked to be Holy People for the glory of God.

Leviticus 10

1 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them.
2 So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying:
‘By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy; And before all the people I must be glorified.’ ”

Genesis 38

6 Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord killed him.
8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.”
9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; therefore He killed him also.

God is ready to forgive his children. Until they die, he waits for their repentance. That's God's Mercy. He sent his only begotten Son, to die for us, as sacrifice for our sins. No longer are animal sacrifices necessary, he was the ultimate sacrifice. And we are instructed to stop sinning and repent of our inequities. Jesus Christ, is ready to intercede in front of the Father, and forgive any sin (Blasphemy?) should we call on him, and ask for his forgiveness.
Christ, the Son of Man, who was, is, and will be for ever, will someday, soon, come, not to preach, but execute judgement on humanity:
The Day of The Lord is at hand.

Jesus says, "It is my desire that you hear me"

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

"It is my sincere hope that you will give yourself to God, to Jesus, and receive his salvation.
He will meet you wherever you are, exactly how you are. There is no sin to great that he won't forgive. Ask him for forgiveness, turn away from it, and ask Jesus into your heart. Be re born in the spirit and walk according to his will for you!
You dont need a church, a pastor, or priest to do this. Go to a quiet place and cry out to God, and he will run to you! You need a relationship with Jesus. He will comfort you, redeem you, and love you like no other!
Amen" _ Mike

The Lord's Prayer



King James Version (KJV)

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye: 

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
The Seventh day: Saturday, Samedi, sábado



Updated Thurday, December 11th, 2025 (posted this on facebook):
Here is the thing. I haven't been in a French church for the past 45 years or more.
Since my Confirmation (I was 13), I have rarely been to church.
Yet, out of the blue, this payer ran through my mind today:
"Notre Père, qui êtes aux cieux,
que votre nom soit sanctifié,
que votre règne arrive,
que votre volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd’hui notre pain quotidien.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et, ne nous laissez pas entrer en tentation, mais délivrez-nous du Mal.
Amen"

I pretty much say it daily in English: Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV
"Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done in Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Please forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespassed against us.
Don't let us go into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
for yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for Ever.
Amen"

See, French is my original language. Although I don't get to speak French often (left France at the age of 23, over 40 years ago), I am still able to write and speak it.
My 1st Bible was a KJV version. I since bought an NKJV (much easier to understand).
I often go to the ESV on line, for things that may be inacurately translated.
