“I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” Mark 1:8

Did you know there are actually two baptisms? John The Baptist reveals this in announcing the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. While John was able to baptize people with water, there is only one who can baptize us with the Holy Spirit and that is Jesus Christ.

Water Baptism is a symbolic ritual when becoming a Christian. When you are put under the water, its symbolic for your “old self” dying. And when you are brought back up out of the water, its symbolic of your resurrection, your “new self”. This is the true meaning of “repentance” when you become transformed and turn away from your sins.

Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Romans 6:3

Paul gives a good explanation about Baptism in Romans 6. When Jesus dies on the cross for our sins, our “old self” died also. And when Jesus rose from the grave and defeated sin and death, through Christ we rose also. Once you truly accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will never be the same again

In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation– having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise Ephesians 1:13

Once you truly repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have been sealed by the Holy Spirit. You were baptized by the Holy Spirit. The same power that rose Jesus from the grave is now living inside of you!  The Holy Spirit is your Counselor, Advocate, Counselor, and Comforter.(John 14) He is leading and molding you to become what God has created you to be in Jesus Name Amen!

Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” Joshua 5:13

As Joshua was leading the Israelites into Jericho to take over the city, he came across a man, but this wasn’t just any man, this was God in the flesh Jesus Christ himself. When we study the Old Testament we can see how Jesus has been revealed many times before he came down to take the wages of our sins.

Interesting enough Jesus revealed himself to Joshua who bears the same name. Joshua is the English translation of Yeshua (Jesus) And Joshua was the successor to Moses, who God first revealed himself to.

He said, “No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” Joshua 5:14

Jesus revealed to Joshua exactly who he is, as the captain or commander of God. Notice instantly Joshua bowed down to the King of Kings, and Jesus didn’t rebuke him. Its always been well known by the Jewish people to only bow and worship God. The fact that Joshua, the leader of the Israelites does this should tell you something

The captain of the LORD’S host said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so. Joshua 5:15

This last statement by Jesus gives us confirmation about his deity. Remember when Moses talked to God at the Burning Bush (Exodus 3) God commanded Moses to remove his sandals because he was standing on holy ground, Jesus commands Joshua to do exactly the same.

The revelation of Jesus Christ, as God in the flesh, is clear here in Joshua. Jesus as the commander or captain is leading us into the Promise Land Amen!

“But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.” Daniel 12:4

Are we in the end of time? A prophecy was revealed to Daniel about “knowledge increasing”. Has this Biblical prophecy been fulfilled today? Think about our culture and technology we have today. If you want an answer about a specific question, you can use your smart phone and google search the answer across thousands of resources. It hasn’t been that long ago when this would not even be possible. We are living in a technology age of “Knowledge Increase”

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19

The Great Commission of Jesus Christ to make disciple of ALL Nations, not just your town or even your country but the entire world. How would this be possible? Its possible today because of the Biblical Prophecy fulfillment of Daniel 12:4 . Today I can write a blog and spread the gospel to the entire world with a click or tap of a button. We are seeing Biblical Knowledge spread at an unseen rate. Christians can now use social media to fulfill Jesus commandments of The Great Commission. This is Biblical Prophecy being fulfilled right before your eyes

Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. Revelation 11:9

Revelation tells us about the two witnesses that will be killed by the Anti-Christ and there bodies will be seen by the entire world for 3 and half days until they are resurrected. Now how would it be possible for the entire world to see these witness killed and resurrected? Its possible today and happens on a daily basis with You Tube, Facebook Live, Twitter Live, ect.

We are living in the days of Biblical Prophecy is being fulfilled. Use this “Knowledge Increase” to spread the gospel to the entire world and get ready for the King of Kings is coming back soon in Jesus Name Amen
