The Plain Truth is so Happy That You Have Been Enjoying Bob’s Broadcasts.
2000 years ago, a newscaster that we know of as Jesus Christ warned us about false Christianity. The warning was not against the devil but against false Christianity…about people who come in His name and deceive many.
- Hi, Bob Barney here with the Plain Truth Today 7-Eleven short broadcast, and I want to just give you a good news message about your life today, your future, and the future of your family, because there is a God in heaven called God the Father to you, and God known as Jesus Christ. The two gods make up the Godhead right now. They are reproducing themselves, however, in you and I, and we can be a part of the God family if we choose to be. We don’t have to join, but we can. But there is good news coming. This is
- 0:34something that Jesus Christ read to the synagogue when they wanted to stone him because he said, today this has become the truth, and he has fulfilled it. And the people took up stones to try to kill him because they knew what he was doing. But here it goes, the spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me for the Lord has anointed me to bring the good news to the poor. This is Jesus speaking in the Old Testament and he read it in the New Testament because it’s about he. He has
- 1:03sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and proclaim that the captives will be released, released from your sins, and the prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has finally come and with it the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, joyful blessings instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness they will be like great
- 1:34oaks, and the Lord has planted them for His own glory. They will rebuild the ancient ruins, and they will repair the cities of long ago. They will revive them, though they’ve been deserted for many generations. Foreigners will be your servants. Today we are the servants of the foreigners, but foreigners will be your servants. They will feed your flocks and plow your fields and tend your vineyards. I guess God doesn’t have a problem with migrant workers. Maybe we should learn from that.
- 2:05We don’t want criminal aliens here, but we do want people wanting to come and do the job as we ourselves do not want to do. Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. I hate robbery and wrongdoing, says the Lord. I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them. That is called the New Testament, by the way. Their descendants will be recognized and honored among the nations of the world.
- 2:36Everyone will realize that they are the people that I, the Lord, have blessed. I am overwhelmed with the joy of the Lord my God, for he has dressed me with clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I’m like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding or a bride for her jewels. The Sovereign Lord God Almighty will show his justice to the nations of the world. Everyone will learn to praise him, for
- 3:05his righteousness will be like a garden spring with plants popping up everywhere. Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent.’ So that is the good news, by the way, that Jesus Christ brought some 2,000 years ago now to the people, saying it is time for the mourning to end and for the good news to begin. Now, I have to admit, I don’t think those who were following Jesus, his disciples or the women who were following him,
- 3:44thought it was going to be 2,000 years gone by and still not seen a return of Christ. I don’t think they ever envisioned that, and we cannot envision how long this still could go on for. How did the world last 2,000 years with the awful rulers that we had in ancient Rome, and then the Holy Roman Empire, and then the Middle and Dark Ages, and then the tyranny of people like Napoleon or Hitler or Stalin, or today what Putin is doing to the peoples of Ukraine and even to his own Russian people, and what he plans to do with
- 4:17Eastern Europe if we don’t stop him. This is a question we have, but we have to realize that God is working. He sounds like he’s taking his time, but God is not taking his time. God is trying to get everyone that can be saved on board, and he’s calling, if you’re listening to this broadcast, I’m not a prophet of God, I’m just a person giving you the news that is found in the Bible. I wish I was a prophet of God. I wish God would speak to me every day, but He does
- 4:50not. I am not an Ezekiel, I am not a Habakkuk, I am not any of these prophets you see in the Old Testament or the New Testament, but I am someone who believes that Jesus Christ is the God of the Bible, He is the God that will save you and my eternal life and give us the best blessing that could ever happen and to help us and be the reason that we can conquer our greatest enemy, which is not Satan, it’s ourselves and death. And we can conquer death and have immortal life
- 5:22as God beings in the world to come when we are finally born again. And that is the good news. It is news. By the way, the Gospel means good news. The Bible is the news. Channel 6 evening news or whatever you’re watching tonight or gonna be watching this afternoon is fake news compared to the news that you can find in your Bible. The Bible is the place to understand your
- 5:51history because if you don’t understand and know your history, you are bound to repeat all the errors of history. So the Bible shows you your history, it shows you the present conditions you’re in and how to solve them personally for yourself, and the answer comes from obeying Jesus Christ and worshiping him and understanding that he is part of the Godhead. And thirdly, the future. What is going to happen in your future and what is going to happen for the future of this earth and the good news of a coming kingdom that is going to be brought by Jesus Christ, and the beginning
- 6:30of it will be a thousand-year reign of Christ and his saints, which can be you and I as God over the mortals who stay alive. And after that thousand years comes the greatest news of all, God the Father comes to live with us, and we are in eternal salvation and happiness and joy. Read the last chapter of Revelation, that’s all you got to do. Well, anyway, this is Bob Barney for The Plain Truth today. I do appreciate you listening to
- 7:02the 7-11 short show, and we’ll see you back the 7-11 short show, and we’ll see you back again today, I’m sorry, tomorrow for another one. Bye-bye.
