Jesus Heals a Plague!
Mark 5:29 “And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.” Commentary: This woman had suffered twelve years from this plague! So how long does a plague last? Until Jesus shows up! The famous bubonic or black death plague lasted 300 years! Like the Coronavirus it came out of China! This plague resurfaced roughly every ten years from 1348-1665—forty outbreaks in just over 300 years! And with each new epidemic 20% of the men, women and children living in the British capital died! Besides the ten plagues of Egypt two different plagues affect the blood in opposite ways! This plague which claimed an estimated loss of life between 75-200 million people caused the blood to hemorrhage as for this woman Jesus healed! The other type of plague such as the SARS-CoV-2 and the Coronavirus cause the blood to clot in vital organs to cause death! My Bible says that the life is in the blood! That is why Jesus gave his blood for us as a sacrifice for our sin! Also to heal our bodies and to raise the dead! I see the problem in the 21st Century church is that most have left Jesus in the 1st Century as a historical figure! They put Jesus in a museum! Does not your Bible say Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever? The church is not to be a social club where we meet once a week and tell each other how great we are! It is a hospital for the sick and wounded! For the poor and depressed! A place where people that have no hope can find hope! Where the sick are prayed over in the name of Jesus! How come no Coronavirus sick called to the church to pray for? Do we believe what Jesus professed? Bring by faith Jesus into the 21st Century and into the midst of the plague! In Matthew chapter 24 Jesus listed the signs of his second coming! One of those signs was plagues! Heal the plagues in the name of Jesus! If the woman with the plague had practiced social distancing and not touched the hem of Jesus robe she never would have been healed but her faith was greater than her disease! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Plague of Public Education!
To have our youthful population in the hands of secular teachers will be to sell them to the Ishmaelites! A great many parents sell their children by putting them out as apprentices to men of no character, or by placing them in institutions where ungodliness is the paramount influence! Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), Prince of Preachers, Opposed liberal and pragmatic tendencies. Comment: Charles Spurgeon witnessed the beginning of the Charles Darwin crusade to make disciples of our youth away from God and embrace atheism! Our public schools have been the vehicle to indoctrinate our youth into believing the lie that evolution and its theories are science! The founders of socialism and communism like Marks, Engels, Lenin and others believed the way to indoctrinate youth is to control their education by institutionalizing them by control with mandated public education! Charles Darwin here in America has more disciples than Jesus Christ! I have requested to President Trump to implement school vouchers where parents can choose their own schools! Right now the Democratic Party controls our public education system promoting ungodly ideologies! Freedom is always more choices! This includes our education system! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Plague & Cure!
Numbers 16:46 “And Moses said unto Aaron, take a censer and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense and go quickly unto the congregation and make an atonement for them, for there is wrath gone out from the Lord, the plague is begun.” Comment: Let us look at the phrase, “Make an Atonement.” This phrase is one word in the Hebrew. Here is an easy way to remember the word atonement! AT-ONE-MENT. At one moment! The word means to cover, reconcile, forgive, cleanse or cancel. Cancel what? The plague of death for the penalty of sin! Atonement is always connected with the blood of the sacrifice for sin! Aaron took some fire off the altar! Why is this significant? Because the fire was the instrument to consume the sacrifice! The fire produced the heat to burn the sacrifice that the ascending smoke pleased God! Remember Isaiah was given a hot coal off the alter and touched his mouth! He said I am a man of unclean lips! The word atonement also has another Hebrew root word used in Genesis Chapter six where Noah placed pitch on the inside and outside of the ark. The judgment or flood of water could not come into the ark! It protected them from judgment! Are you sealed in the Blood of the Lamb? Sealed from judgment? Remember in Book of Revelation the seals were broken that released the plagues upon the earth! The rejection of Christ by the world broke the seals and released the judgments! By the time Aaron made it to the congregation or church thousands had died! How many Americans have to die before we do repentance as a nation? No call from the churches across America? How stubborn are we? Things will never be as they were before? Our national sins are abortion, gay marriage, lesbianism, homosexuality, transgenderism and these are a result of rejecting the atonement for their sins! The church in America has also been a partner in this by its muted voice on sin! Some States are saying with death all around them that we need more money for more abortion? So how does God take away abortion from our land! Take away our money! Financial collapse! Plagues and famines! No one has ever fought God and won! Rather than accepting the sacrifice for our sin we then become the sacrifice! Our covering is the blood of Christ! The only sacrifice that will please is the one where God became the sacrifice! The strange fire of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and all man made religions are sacrifices unacceptable to God! They are human sacrifices! Sin being sacrificed for sin will never work! America is stubborn in their pride but God knows how to turn up the heat! They will eventually get it! Either in repentance or judgment!Too late for some but remember God saved Noah and his family and the rest of the world perished! God is cleaning his House! His church! He is cleaning it politically, financially and spiritually! At one moment at the Cross the plague is stayed! At one moment a nation must change! In one moment the sinner is redeemed! This is our moment as the Church! Will we speak up and call for a National repentance? Jonah was reluctant yet repented and cried unto the city of Nineveh and a city and nation was saved from judgment! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
3rd Plague! 3rd Commandment!
The third plague over King Pharaoh and Egypt was lice! Invasion of lice into every Egyptian! Why lice? Let me give you a definition of lice; “Lice are parasitic insects that can be found on people’s heads and bodies including the pubic area. Human lice survives by feeding on human blood and lays eggs in their clothing producing more lice and more blood sucking.” The key word here is blood! Pharaoh rejected the sacrificial blood of the Jews for redemption so his blood was sacrificed! No redemption in his blood or of his people! Because of the rejection he became the sacrifice! Pharaoh trusted his idols! Idol worshipers make an idol which fails so they make another idol which fails! If a woman is your idol then you chase after woman after woman but never satisfied! This is where idol worship takes you! Making your own gods instead of embracing the living God! According to my Bible we were created in the Image of God! You get in trouble if you create God in your Image! Hitler lost two million troops on the Eastern front with Russia in WWII. Napoleon lost his army trying to conquer Russia! Most of the casualties froze to death in the harsh Russian winter! The Axis powers leaders were all Evolutionists! They rejected creation of our scripture and embraced Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution! It lead to the death of tens of millions of people! A historical story of the German troops on the Eastern front was because they had to keep the same uniform on for months lice infested their bodies! When they got near a fire to keep from freezing to death the heat to their bodies would cause the lice to swarm on them! They could not stand that so they would back away from the fire that would keep them from freezing to death! So the German people were sacrificed by blood loss because their leader Hitler rejected the blood sacrifice of Christ for their sin! So they went out and committed sins! This is the curse of God! Blessings or curses depending on what you do with the sacrificial Blood of God! We either praise God or we will curse God! Pharaoh mocked God and cursed God by trying to compete with Moses by trying to duplicate the signs and wonders God gave Moses in Egypt! Rebellion against God leads to you making yourself a god! Evolutionists are really atheists! They reject the sacrificial blood of Christ! The tenth plague on King Pharaoh and the Egyptian people was the death of the first born! More blood sacrifice! Their own sacrifice! So what is the death of the first born in America for the 20th and 21st century? What have the Evolutionist devised? Abortion! To the tune of about 60 million!

1st Plague! 1st Commandment!
So what was the first plague on the Pharaoh and Egypt for not letting the Jews go out into the wilderness and worship their God? Moses wanted his people to get away from the idols of Egypt for they had suffered with them for 430 years! This was the hardest part of slavery! They could not worship their God! From my three years in India I understand this very well! Everyday you see hundreds of idols everywhere! This begins to wear you down over time! Pharaoh refused to let them go! So Moses took his rod and struck the Nile River, the lakes, ponds, streams and wells of Egypt and the water turned to blood! This was the first plague of Egypt! They could not drink the water and all the fish died in the water and they lost their food supply! The first Commandment says thou shall have no other gods before me! So what does the blood represent? Redemption or judgment! Remember Jesus turned the water into wine! A red mixture representing blood! Remember during the 10th plague Moses directed the Hebrews to put the sacrificial blood of the lamb on the side door posts and the upper door post so the death angel would Passover them and not kill their first born! Pharaoh rejected the blood sacrifice of the Hebrews worship predicting the coming Lamb of God who would be the sacrifice for our sin! So the blood became not his Savior but his curse! The blood of Christ will either be your Savior or your judge! The same God yesterday, today and forever! The same sacrifice! The same Savior and the same Judge! It all depends on what you do with his blood! I heard a preacher on TBN say God can forgive any sin! I agree except for one sin! To reject the Savior! Then you take your own judgment instead of letting Christ take your judgment! This is the only unpardonable sin! Sometimes when you hear preachers you get the idea there is no consequences for rejecting Christ? If God can pardon every sin then I can reject Christ and go on with my life with no consequences! Pharaoh rejected the blood and it became his curse! The rejection of the blood of Christ brings every plague upon men! The Savior becomes your judge! God took your judgment on an ugly Cross! When I see America reject the Savior then I understand the plagues! There is no call to a National Repentance from most preachers? No repentance of abortion, gay marriage, lesbianism, transgenderism and the sins our nation has promoted! It seems like business as usual? You can still repent and so can I of my sin! Repentance is required based upon the Word of God! Blessings or curses! Plagues or Redemption! Pharaoh had a choice and so do you! Choose this day who you will serve! Choose Christ and his atoning blood for your sin! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
2nd Plague! 2nd Commandment!
There is a correlation between the 10 Plagues of Egypt and the 10 Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai! The Plagues came first and then the Commandments! God gave us the Commandments to stay off the Plagues! The second Plague to Egypt were frogs! Why frogs? Among the ancient Egyptians frogs were sacred and could not be killed! Egyptians worshiped the frog as a female goddess because frogs were common around the Nile River where they reproduced rapidly and being amphibious they were part of two worlds, creatures of both land and water. So what does the second Commandment say? Do not make any graven images and serve them! Idol worship has been around since the beginning of time! While living in India I saw millions of people worshiping cows, snakes, elephants, monkeys and the list goes on! The Spirit of Satan lives in Idol worship! You will be in bondage to serving idols! The frog that the Pharaoh of Egypt worshiped became his curse! If you worship anything that replaces God that Spirit will take over your life controlling you and destroying you! That has always been Satan’s objective! To steal worship from God and destroy his followers! Some people worship money, sex, power, position, fame, land ,silver, gold, stocks and the list goes on! These things are not evil in themselves but if they replace true worship of the true God lead to your destruction! Religion itself can become an idol! God will give you all the things you need in life without the bondage that would otherwise come with them! The Ten Commandments lead us to finding and worshiping the true God! Satan is the imposter pretending to be God to steal worship from the true God! My Bible says Jesus is the Name above all names! Jesus name is above the Coronavirus! Above sickness and death! Above pandemics! Above fear! Above evil! Jesus defeated your sin and evil at the Cross! He has handed us the victory! Many in American culture have socially distanced themselves from God! Religion replaced worship! Now God is removing our idols to get our attention that we need to return to the true living God! To worship him alone!James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
First Plague Listed!
The word plague is first listed in your Bible in Genesis 12:17. However this word occurs after Noah’s Flood listed in Genesis Chapter Six! Most would probably consider this flood a plague but not listed as so by definition! A plague leaves survivors but more than just eight people in Noah’s family and the animals all in refuge in the Ark of God! A flood comes from the outside where a plague comes from the inside of your body! Sin causes a break down of you immune system! So let us look at Genesis 12:17 “And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.” Comment: The Pharaoh King of Egypt saw that Sarai was a very good looking woman! However Abram deceived Pharaoh by telling him Sarai was his sister when in fact she was his half sister! So Pharaoh thought she was fair game and took her into his harem! Then the plagues struck Pharaoh’s household! Pharaoh rebuked Abram for his deception and sent them on their way! This plague was caused by sin as all plagues are the result of sin! It is a judgment upon a people or upon nations! The theme of our entire Bible is about properly dealing with our sin! Sin has plagued man for all of history! Man through science has always looked to the results of sin where God reveals the cause and cure! God calls us out to repent of our sin and accept Jesus Christ as the cure for our sin! The blood sacrifice of Christ to be applied to our lives as the substitute for our sin! God taking on our sin and punishment for our sin! God took the plagues upon himself even though he was innocent of all our sin! The sinless Lamb was the perfect sacrifice because he was God! God in the flesh! The only puzzle to the obvious cure is why men still reject him? Sin lives inside us and so does the disease! Remember Jesus healed the sick! Christ lives outside us until we invite him in! That requires something from you! Repentance! Confession of your sin against God! His atoning blood opens the door for the Holy Spirit to live inside of us! To keep us until Jesus second coming! Sin produces death but Christ produces everlasting life in the here and now and forever! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
