Institution of the Lord’s Supper
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, [a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”
And he gave him [a]a tithe of all.

Good morning beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. As is our precious, heavenly Father-GOD, our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, and His Holy Spirit; He leads us to glean the sweet nectar He has for us, as He leads us through the life of our man of GOD, “King David”, that His Holy Spirit, reveals our Savior to us, that we continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, the Lamb of GOD, Who, to Him alone, belong all honor, praise, and glory, both this day, yesterday, and forever. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Therefore, beloved of YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, I believe our LORD’S Holy Spirit will have us to glean from the comments of one of His servants/sons, Jack W. Hayford; in the introduction to 1 Kings, that are the “PERSONAL APPLICATION”; “CHRIST REVEALED”; and “THE HOLY SPIRIT AT WORK”; before finishing in the first few chapters of 1 Kings; that we receive all that our LORD-GOD has for us, as we look to our risen Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS. Amen. Amen. Amen.
‘. . . “CHRIST REVEALED The failure of the prophets, priests, and kings of God’s people points to the necessity of the advent of Christ. Christ Himself would be the ideal combination of these three offices. As a Prophet, Christ’s word far surpasses that of the great prophet Elijah (Matt. 17:1-5). Many of the miracles of Jesus were reminiscent of the wonders God did through Elijah and Elisha in Kings. In addition, Christ is a Priest superior to any of those recorded in Kings (Heb. 7:22-27). First Kings vividly illustrates the need for Christ as our reigning King. When asked if He was King of the Jews, Jesus affirmed that He was (Matt. 27:11). However, Christ is a King “greater than Solomon” (Matt. 12:42). The name “Solomon” means “Peace”; Christ is the “Prince of Peace,” and there will be no end to His peace (Is. 9:6). Solomon was noted for his wisdom, but Christ is the “wisdom of God” (1 Cor. 1:25, 29). Solomon’s reign was temporary, but Christ will reign on the throne of David forever (1 Chr. 17:14; Is. 9:6), for He is “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (Rev. 19:16). For a further study of allusions to Christ during the time of 1 Kings, read Introduction to 1 Chronicles: Christ Revealed and Introduction to 2 Chronicles: Christ Revealed.” (NEW SPIRIT FILLED LIFE Bible—Jack W. Hayford, Litt.D.—New King James Version—THOMAS NELSON—Since 1798)

“Revelation 4
New King James Version
The Throne Room of Heaven
4 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 [a]And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white [b]robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, [c]thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the[d] seven Spirits of God.
6 Before the throne there [e]was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
“Holy,[f] holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “You are worthy, [g]O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they [h]exist and were created.”
