The Eye of My GOD is upon me; I will not cease !

It is written, “and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such time, be it known unto The King that the Jews which came up from thee to us, are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city,and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations. Be it known now unto The King that if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute ,and custom,and so thou shalt endanger the revenue of the Kings. Now because we have maintenance from The King’s palace, and it was not meet for us to see The King’s dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified The King; that search may be made in The Book, of the records of thy fathers; so shalt thou find in The Book of the records [??Chronicles, I think] and know that this city is a rebellious city and hurtful unto Kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city destroyed. {Jerusalem was destroyed in about 70 A.D. if I remember history correctly.] We certify The King that,if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means, thou shalt have no portion on this side the river. Then sent The King an answer unto Rehum, the Chancellor, and  to Shimshai, the scribe, and to the rest of their companions, that dwelt in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, “Peace, and at such a time, this letter which ye sent unto us, hath been plainly read before me. And I commanded and search has been made, and it is found that that this city of old time, hath made insurrection against Kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. There have been mighty Kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries, beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom was paid unto them. Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded until another commandment shall be given by me. Take heed now that ye fail not to do this; why should damage grow to the hurt of The Kings? Now when the copy of King Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them cease by force and power. Then ceased the work of the House of GOD which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius King of Persia. Then the prophets Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in The Name of  THE GOD of Israel, even unto them. Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and began to build the House of GOD, which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of GOD helping them. At the same time, came to them, Tatnai Governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, ‘ who hath commanded you to build this house and make up this wall?”  Then said we unto them after this manner, ‘what are the names of the manner of men that make this building?”  But the eye of their GOD was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease; till the matter came to Darius, and then they answered by letter concerning this matter. .. and thus they returned us answer, we are the servants of THE GOD in heaven, and earth, and build The House that was builded these many years ago,which a great King of Israel builded and set up. But after that, our fathers provoked THE GOD of heaven, unto wrath,and HE gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, The King of Babylon,the Chaldean who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.” [Ezra 5:10-5 and 11-12]

The Biblical record of the creation of the human race, the selection of Abraham and his descendants as the family of GOD, the battles of humans, the importance of Jerusalem are all fascinating to read. I love the Holy Bible, particularly the King James Holy Bible, because the words are so beautiful and poetic, but also precise in meaning. I put this passage of Scripture here to teach a principle of GOD, that GOD’s work does not cease. It may be hindered by a time by those who do not love GOD as in this passage when the wicked used the concept that if the Temple of GOD [that King David had built to begin with] was rebuilt that the Jews would not pay taxes to the King and therefore impoverish him, to convince The King to hinder the work of GOD by decree. However, GOD was not defeated, and HE raised up another King who did not hinder the rebuilding of the Temple.

I have been building a ‘temple’ of sorts on the internet by adding websites to teach the words of GOD, to teach the Commandments of GOD, and to teach the principles of GOD in all situations, and there was a great and devious effort to destroy those works by humans who did not love GOD. But I am overcoming and this work is going to continue! The eye of my GOD is upon me and I am pressing on to continue and maintain the works of GOD in every way possible to teach all nations, reach all nations, and help them to see that each nation figures into GOD’s plan,and that each human will be judged by GOD on HIS Judgement Day.
