As a step father, I held Joseph to be the example of loving and raising children as one’s own. Even though I couldn’t measure up to Joseph, he’s always been my hero. He couldn’t have been insignificant because The Creator TRUSTED him above all men to raise and train Yeshua to be a man. Thank you so much.
@@elmifriends7319 The name doesnt matter. You people need to stop getting caught up on names. Do you not know how languages work? It's the message that matters!
@@StillProtesting I thought only God and Jesus judge. Yet you judge. So you just said you are God? You are on the same level of Jesus? I thought we shouldn't judge unless we be judged ourselves.
Years ago I went to a nativity show at a church. All sorts of nativities around the room (close to 100). One of the best things I saw was a picture of Joseph holding the baby Jesus while Mary slept. Showing that he was not only a father, but a daddy. The look on his face while holding the baby was of a loving man who was proud.
You say at 6c3q into the video that ... or that Johna was swallowed by a whale. ... but scripture dose say johna was swallowed by a whale Mathew 12 vs 40 kjv Jonas was three days and three nights in the whales belly... this is Jesus talking here . Am I nit picking ?
Joseph was married already prior to the pregnancy. Just Joseph had to go away to build rooms in his father's house. Then when the Father said it's time to get your bride. Legally Brandon is correct. This is why Mary could have been stoned for adultery. Catholics are gentile law keepers. If not Christ would not be on the cross still and idolators. as they have statues on their church. I was baptised as a baby and schooled as a Catholic. Sin is to be confessed to no man save God alone. When I could read and ask questions I understood the Catholic church was a Gentile copy cat church as the Orthodox Jews. No plan of salvation. Only plan of salvation for Gentiles are found in the book of Acts. Chapter 9 & 10 & 15. . Any less one is not a child of God.
Joseph is and has always been a very special figure in my life. Both my brother and I were adopted at birth and knew how profound and unique the unconditional love is from an adoptive father. Not a man who simply loves you from a biological stand point, but a man who chose to love you regardless and made you his beyond genetics and biology and all that. I always loved the idea of Joseph because I know first hand how special an adoptive father is. Mine was also a carpenter growing up (as well as a farmer) and taught his children more through hard work than anyone else could. My father is someone I look up to for multiple reasons and I imagine Jesus looked up to Joseph in a similar way. I highly suggest listening to the song “Joseph’s Lullaby” by MercyMe if anyone wants to hear a beautiful perspective on what Joseph might’ve thought in regards to Jesus as his son. It’s a tear jerker for sure.
Thank you for the beautiful and wonderful way st joseph is brought to the light and attention of the world. Credit to the chosen ministry. Blessing and support from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
I once sat in a sermon where a pastor said blatantly that the role of mothers are so much more important than that of the father, and he used the minimal mention of Joseph as the earthly father of Jesus, as his "reference". I am stunned how people can use scripture to "emphasise" their ideas, which are based on their own ignorance. Brandon, this was an answer to a question I've been asking a long time, because I refuse to believe that God's design for the family, being a father, mother and children, is a mistake. Everybody has a role to play.
Wow! I wonder than why the Bible says the Father's role is to teach the Word (Torah) to his children? See also Ephesians 6:4. I would have serious concerns about being under the leadership of that pastor!
Quite right, Brother James. Side note: in 1974, I married a lady with 4 children with the surname Chapman. Maybe in the Kingdom we can talk about what an adventure that was, in the Presence of our Master Yahusha ("Lord Jesus"), amein!
I don't agree with that pastor, why would God reveal Himself as Father instead of Mother then, if father is not important? I heard surveys that say, a big percentage of problematic kids comes from fatherless home
@@wennemalino9013 I agree with you. Fatherless homes account for the vast majority of children with behavioural problems, delinquency, drug abuse, depression, teenage pregnancy, etc. The list goes on and on. But unfortunately, in our unbiblical, feminist-run society, men in general are made out to be evil in nature, not needed, oppressors of all human-kind. We are seen as the enemy, and everything that was once accepted as a norm for decency and stability in our society, is now made out to be 'unloving and judging'. Good is being called evil, and evil good. Precisely like the Bible foretold.
Thank you for affirming his importance in Jesus's life. He is very significant not only in Jesus's life, but in ours as well. He's a wonderful example of unconditional love.
As a father and step father I love my children very much and now I know and understand that God sent those children my way for me to look after and take care of. Blessed by God and his son Jesus✝️🙏🏽
Gegrüset seist du hl Josef. Du bist bist auserwählt vor allen Männern. Und ges3get ist Frucht Deiner Jungfräulichen Braut Maria dessen Kind Jesus du auf Händen tragen durftest. Hl Josef bitte für uns Sünder-und die Männer Jetzt und in der Stunde unseres Todes .Amen.
You have such a pleasant voice and none of what you have said can be argued with. Children don’t get to choose their parents, but Jesus did. He chose Joseph and Mary to be his parents and the recipients of his honour. That’s something that could make any of us proud and arrogant, but instead they lived with Jesus in silence and humility waiting for the time which Jesus chooses. They are truly worthy of the title of the Holy Family. Thank you for your videos!
SP, Jehovah God choose Joseph and Mary. They where cousins. Both bea ing of the Davidic line. Also they where both practising hebrews, being faithful, and true in their love of Jehovah!
Amen🙏🙏🙏 Joseph was a choosen man. Brother Brandon you too you are a chosen one. I have nothing to give you but My prayers be with you.🙏🙏🙏 Love you Jesus, Brandon From India
Thank you for giving a glimpse into the mind and surroundings of Joseph. I have thought many times to myself what a good man that Joseph must have been for GOD to choose him to guide JESUS and be his earthly Father. I am certain they loved each other very much. But, Joseph had the weight of the world on his back, knowing that he was protecting, guiding, and teaching GOD'S only son. I really enjoy your talks! I am 63 and I really need your prayers this coming week. My son die May 25th. I am in bad health, but my heart is what is aching; what is breaking. My son was 43, and a freak bloodclot hit his heart. His birthday is November 19th. Since his death JESUS, my LORD has carried me every step that I have taken. And I am sure that he will on my baby's birthday, but I know that I will be a mess. I loved him so very much. Please pray for myself and my family this upcoming weekend. I know that it will be extremely difficult. GOD BLESS JESUS FOR LOVING ME AND CARRYING ME SINCE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH. And may GOD also BLESS you!!!
"but I know that I will be a mess" When that mess is looming, please do not grieve too much. Your son was following Jesus, don't count his untimely death as a heartbreaking loss. Rejoice, you'll follow him to great glory and joy, if ever you believed in the Lord Jesus. My mother died with her hand in mine, my father had an urge to receive forgiveness before he died (you know, WW2 and all the times that as a clerk he had to decide on applications of people to whom he could not do justice in all aspects). I haven't had a moment of grief since, the prospects just look too good. We have a glimpse of what is coming. It's Nov 20th, I'm one day late, but May 25th will come. And again I say, Rejoice! Be of good cheer, nothing is lost! Lean on Jesus. He's true, always.
Thank you Brandon for your wonderful programme. I am now 75 years of age and all my life I have been struggling with questions which you are now providing me with answers. I have been in different ministries in the church, including being a reader, a server and a minister for communion amongst other things, but these things were never explained to me ever and I was beginning to loose my faith in my old age. You have given me my faith back. May God Bless you and give you health to keep on doing what you are doing.
Thank you so much Brandon! I am still wondering what happened to Joseph. We appreciate your time and kindness in all your work! Blessings in Yeshua our Messiah!
Brandon, this was an excellent lesson. Giving thought to the "inn", I totally agree that the location was attached to a house. When I lived in Italy, there were several homes in the mountains/country where people lived above the " barn". I haven't related to that until hearing you refer to it. It just makes more sense and more relatable to the housing during those times. We have such a modern way of thinking and it can get in our way of what is truth in Scripture... Thank you for a fresh understanding of Gods Word. Blessings to you and your family.
@BELOVED JANET OF YAHWEH John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me." JESUS TELLS YOU IN HIS OWN WORDS Mathew 23 30And you say, `If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets. '31So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! 33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 37"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.38Look, your house is left to you desolate.39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, `Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'
@BELOVED JANET OF YAHWEH Mathew 8:11 …When Christ heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many Gentiles will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”…
Once again Brandon you have taught me things that I didn’t know or knew but it was muddy to me. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time and following Gods lead with all the things you teach
Wow. Thank you for sharing the character of Joseph, the reality of life in Jesus' time and clarifying truths about what scripture doesn't say-contrary to poplar brief. Understanding Joeseph's heart, his choice to sacrifice, reveals God's plan for the birth of His son is not solely about choosing Mary, but choosing Joseph, too. "...in Joseph we get a glimpse of Jesus...". Wow. What an eye opener.
If the Bible doesn't say it we are forbidden to fill in the gaps. There's a place in Hell for those that do. Read your Bible and take only what you hear when you read God's word, otherwise you're sinning
I wish I would have known this 45 years ago. Of course I pray and look upon our St. Joseph now. But knowing him then as I know him now may have changed everything for me.
When I was in Switzerland, our tour guide said that older homes had a lower level where the animals were kept. The warmth of the animals helped heat the portion of the house above them. The idea of only 3 wisemen came from the fact there were 3 gifts given Jesus. The exact number of magi is not given, but there were probably several who more than likely travelled together for safety. We all probably know the song “Mary, did you know?”, but there is also a song about Joseph. I think it is called “Joseph’s Song”. There is a line about Joseph being unsure how he can be a father to the Son of God. It is very poignant. I am curious how the legend grew that Joseph was an old man (see the song “The Coventry Carol”) because he was also possibly only a teenager.
Maggie, the song is called “The Carol of Joseph”, written by Joel Smallbone, Luke Smallbone and Matt Hale. Performed by For King And Country. The lines… “How can I be the one, the one to father the Father’s Son, How can I raise a King, when this humble life is all I bring” says perfectly how this good man must have wondered about God’s plan. The song is on a Christmas album called “A Drummer Boy Christmas” by this group. All the songs are so well done. The video for “The Little Drummer Boy” is fantastic, and uses the set for “The Chosen”. Highly recommend to all!!
Oh my! I just listened to the one that Betty recommended about Joseph, by Michael Card. So beautiful. That is probably the one that Maggie was referring to. A much older song, apparently, than the one For King And Country recorded, just last year, I believe. But both are from the same perspective and give beautiful insight to St. Joseph. 💕
I am not a Christian, but I respect other people's faiths and have deep respect for people who really work hard to understand and think about their own faith. Also, I really like to learn about other faith's and sacred texts, especially when well analyzed and translated, within the context of the time. I really appreciate your videos, and the context and good information you give. Thank you so much for all your do and how you help people in both learning and faith.
You said you're not a Christian, but you didn't say you're an atheist or agnostic, either. Try something. Start reading the Bible and ask God to open your eyes while reading, even if you don't believe in Him. Just ask Him and I believe you will start to see and feel a change in your life and heart.
@@toddcooper2563 No thanks. I have my own faith that has done much good in my life. My post was to thank the maker of the videos., not to have someone try to convert me. I respect other people's faiths, including yours. Please show the same courtesy.
@@mimiadams247 thank you for your honesty. I believe God's word never returns void. I pray you will continue to listen to Brandon's videos. God bless you.
@@anthonydavis4028 Uh... OK... I wish you the best in your endeavor... Was there more to your reply to me? Or were you just... sharing? I often, somehow leave out parts of what I am intending to write. I thought maybe that's what happened?
Beautiful Brandon. Joseph is an example for all fathers to follow. Thank you for your insights into this wonderful human being and human father of Jesus. God bless.
Thank your for this video your knowledge is amazing. We as Christians need to get the true meaning of the scriptures by finding the translation from the original word from the meaning of the word as it was during that time and in the original language. Thank you for opening my mind even further to the amazing life of Jesus and how Gods plan was for us from his love.
Joseph is the perfect example to look at if your a father or soon to be anew father. He took care of his family, hardworking, love and concern and protect his family. Hope all father's learn from this.
Mary Bell...Agreed. And I pray all women learn how important it is to be moral and obedient to the Lord so they can have a good husband and father in their and their childrens' lives. ❤✝️❤
Loved this Brandon. You brought out so much that I never knew. It was awesome. I know Jesus looked to Jesus as his earthly Father and He acknowledged God as His Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you.
Psalm 69 tells about the hurt, shame, despair our Jesus suffered as He was growing up, not a happy household...... Jesus I love you, thank you for making me your own.
Thank you again, for pointing out the very often neglected point of the importance of Joseph, as Jesus's earthly father! It also ties in to the importance of all fathers in the lives of our sons (and daughters). This was an amazing eye opening moment!
We all need to follow the Words of the Bible and try our best to follow its directions and ask JESUS,S DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS BEST AS WE CAN AND SHOULD TO PLEASE OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AMEN
Many Jewish weddings still sign a katubah, it is actually very beautiful. I never thought about Joseph being willing to shame himself by quietly divorcing Mary. Joseph a loving and obediant servent of The LORD, chosen to be Yeshua's earthly abba💖
I'm learning new things from u. I love the way you teach the bible. Though I'm a Catholic, there's a lot of things I don't know & understand about the bible. Thanks to you, I'm learning. Also, I'm drawn by your voice Everytime I listen to you. I can feel the love & passion in your voice. God bless.❤️
I'm so glad to hear that you're learning from these, and that God is blessing you through them. Thank you for taking the time to watch them. God bless!
Ybanang go see your priest or look up catholic truth. We have the true religion & gospel from Christ who is Catholic. We made & have the bible...not a false Bible or religion like these protestants. We have the word of God which like God is Triune ....Bible only is a man made false doctrine.
@Quirico mazarin What are the heretical lies? I believe there are saved Catholics because the scripture states ... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 KJV and... that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:9-11 KJV I just don't agree with Catholic doctrine because it is not rooted in the Word of God. What happened in Genesis in the beginning? Adam got deceived by satan and lost his relationship with God through sin. This is the reason why God sent Jesus, the Messiah, into the world; to restore man's sonship relationship with Father God. Now how is that heretical?
The difficulty of accepting the sublime mystery of their spousal communion has led some, since the 2nd century, to think of Joseph as advanced in age and to consider him Mary's guardian more than her husband. It is instead a case of supposing that he was not an elderly man at the time, but that his interior perfection, the fruit of grace, led him to live his spousal relationship with Mary with virginal affection.
Mr. Brandon this is really amazing, the amount of insights you provide, the sincere emotions with which you elaborate on the Holy Scriptures, the conviction,the love, the humility, woow .... God bless you richly sir!!!
Your spotlight on Joseph adds new dimension to the Holy Family. I've always thought Joseph was neglected in light of the magnificent truth that Yaweh was the True and Divine Father of Jesus. You remind us that for His early years Jesus was living with Mary and Joseph (though when Joseph died is not known), and that Joseph taught Jesus the craft of carpentry and possibly brick laying. So in point of fact, Joseph would have had a close bond with the young Jesus. I took Joseph for my Confirmation name and have a Holy Card with his image as a powerful and virile middle-aged man. We often lose sight of the fact that Joseph was divinely chosen to be Jesus's earthly father and teacher. Thanks for much for your enthusiastic essay.
Thank you for highlighting his importance. Thank you so much for the translations as well. So many of us do not understand Hebrew and Greek. I really like the idea that they stayed at his family's house. That makes sense, as does the carpentry part, as does the seen as unclean part.
Thank you so much for the passion you have with what you offer us! Yes, we all are children of God and are adopted into God' family as heirs! May God bless you my brother!
"For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the WHALE'S belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matthew 12:40 KJV
The year of St. Joseph is ending soon, but your testimony to him is so precious and will enlighten minds and spirit. Thank you Brandon. I was so enlightened.
As a step father of a young man, Joseph sets an example of how to treat our step children. To me my he us as much my son as his mom and dad’s, especially since I helped raise him since he was 14
Thank you for the message, in this "Year of St Joseph", which is already known and taught in the Catholic Church. While the Masses for Christmas ( Dec 25 ) focus on the Birth of Jesus; Dec 26 is dedicated to the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It is your scholarship and insight into Hebrew culture which gives the correct interpretation of the Bible. The idea of "the Bible alone" leaves people vulnerable to misintepretation. Many do not take the time to study but thank God for utube which allows you to reach thousands.
I liked this very much, I just can't call Joseph, Jesus father, because God is Jesus father. I say the man that God chose to be in Jesus life. So Joseph and Mary was chosen, they are greatly favored and loved by God.
My husband is not our children's bioligical father, but, he is their father in every other way. We praise and thank God, Our Abba Father that he gave my husband this role in our lives.
Thou shall have no other gods before me. We have much to think about Joseph and Mary's relationship but in no way are we suppose to bow down to make statues of Yeshua earthly parents. No where in the Bible twere there a commandment to do so. We are only told that Mary will be call blessed by all the world. We are not to mock God through making Yeshua earthly parents Idols which is the 2nd commandment. Is it not?
I’ve been loving these Christmas themed videos. I’ve learned to much about these situations in scripture through these videos and especially the prayer at the end of this video! Thanks Brandon for the videos, it’s truly God’s work!
That was an excellent lesson. I had always wondered why it was so important to show that Joseph was from the line of David when he was not the biological father of Jesus. Thank you so much Brandon.
And yet the Roman Catholic priests remai silent in its praises for Joseph and his important role as Jesus's earthly gather. I am grateful for now knowing of Joseph's participation in the life of Jesus, our Saviour of the world's need for heaven's salvation. Thank you for this enlightenment of the life of Joseph's place, in the story that has been the cornerstone of humanitarian faith.
😃Interesting… but this year in Catholic Church is the St Joseph’ s year🙂! I am 52 and Catholic Joseph is usually named in our daily prayer… so this year … imagine! and the top model for our families is the Saint Famille ..Jesus …the son…Mary the mom and …Joseph l’humble et courageux Joseph…
Really then why does the Catholic Church created by Christ have Joseph as the guardian of the church. Love how Mr Brandon gave you a ❤ comment for you saying priests don't talk about Joseph....when the opposite is true. Charles go look up all the Catholic information of Joseph .....prayers/ books/ ect....
I had always thought that in Joseph "divorcing Mary quietly" that the community would think Mary conceived with another man. I did not realize that it would have been the opposite. Light bulb moment. Joseph willing to take on ALL the shame. 😢 Thank you Brandon for sharing this message. It makes that connection between Joseph and Jesus that much more "real" for me. You are doing God's work Brandon. Be Blessed.🙏
As a Catholic I have known and loved Saint Joseph for my whole life. So these were not new ideas for me but you presented them in such a lovely way. St Joseph pray for us
@@Penny-bt4gc It's not a matter of being rude to someone else's beliefs, but rather about saving them from going down a path that ultimately leads to their destruction. It's called love, and it's the Golden Rule.
Great job Brandon... this was a really good Bible Lesson. I Q'd up all the lessons I could find...and signed up for your Newsletter. Now, that's making an impact! Keep up the good work... breaking down the Good News!
Thank you for this “rooted” message of Jesus’ birth and family. Joseph becomes highlighted as a loving, conscientious and devout husband and father and what an example of family man in these times, especially in USA, when so many men leave, walk off, from their fatherhood and leave a single mother as sole parent.
Beautiful! I love these "insights" and translations and such. They are always so satisfying! A good meal with good company. Thank you, Brandon Robbins -- peace to you and your family.
Oh, Joseph, dear Joseph. I think often of this man and think so very highly of him. I named one of my children after him. Whenever I think of him and what he did, in raising the Son of God, I feel for him a profound love. There are so many things I would say of him from those bits of information provided about him in the New Testament. Just the fact that Mary, the mother of the Son of God, who I believe was the greatest woman who ever lived was espoused and married to Joseph speaks wonders about his character. His closeness to God goes without saying: the angel of God spoke to him in a dream to marry his espoused, Mary, when he discovered she was pregnant, and to name the child Jesus; and then he was warned in a dream by the angel of God to flee to Egypt for the safety of Jesus' life. What a good, good man he was. I studied the Bible in Israel. One of my professors there taught me that the original Greek text of the New Testament uses the word "tekton" to describe Joseph's profession as you brought up in your video - that the word tekton literally means "builder." Our Traditional English translations of the Bible mistakenly render the word tekton as "carpenter." Perhaps European translators used the word "carpenter" in place of "builder" because many buildings in Europe are made of wood. But in ancient Israel, the buildings were made of stone. When I lived in Israel studying the Bible and the history and archaeology of the Holy Land, I saw first-hand that stone is the primary building material, because stone is what is there to build with. Joseph and Jesus, the boy that Joseph raised, were not wood carpenters. They were stone masons. Before becoming a rabbi, Jesus likely worked as a builder for over fifteen years. In His teachings, Jesus never spoke once of wood carpentry. But he used many symbols and images from stone masonry, such as "A wise man built his house upon bedrock...and a foolish man built his house upon sand" (Matthew 7:24), and "The same stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone" (Matthew 21:42). There are many more things I might say of Joseph. I could talk all day about him. One thing I would say about him that Brandon mentions in this video is that Joseph had a significant influence on Jesus Christ. And I honor Joseph for that.
Thank you very much for Explaining the role of Joseph. Though not mentioned much in the the bible, Joseph played a significant role in the life of Jesus . As a role model , teacher , and father. He did it all. Under the instructions of God the father
Thank you for the truthful information on the meaning of what we read in the Bible. This is why we need read the Bible over slowly and reread often. It is a book of learning and many times as we reread we pick up more knowledge that God desires us to know.
I came across to your channel recently because of The Chosen and I got to say I'm glad I found your channel. Your teaching is very inspiring and encouraging. Keep up the good work! 👍
Thank you Brandon. This is powerful, alot of back story unloaded in this 20mins clip. Thank you so so much, back story helps connect the dots thats recorded in the bible. I appreciate this awesome clip. I do not have enough hands to applaud this. Remain blessed Sir.
Brandon, I learn so much from your channel, the organization and especially the historical perspective you present fills in the puzzle piece by piece. Here I am just out of back surgery today hungry for Christs word. Your words are not yours but from the spirit. I pray that the Lord will continue to speak through you.
Thank you so much, Brandon for this sharing, I really enjoyed the teaching and look forward to your other brodcasts. This teaching is a fresh breath of information . I thank God for leading me to your broadcasts. The Lord Bless your teaching. Tania
AGAIN what a wonderful insight on Joseph but prayer at the end AS always in your name or in his name INSTEAD OF IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY MAYBE A PET PEVE BUT LETS give glory to the one which its alllll about

As a step father, I held Joseph to be the example of loving and raising children as one’s own. Even though I couldn’t measure up to Joseph, he’s always been my hero.
He couldn’t have been insignificant because The Creator TRUSTED him above all men to raise and train Yeshua to be a man. Thank you so much.
I love how you reflect on your role as a stepfather to relate to Joseph
You measured up with Joseph. Both of you sinners in need of a Saviour!
Should it not have been a Hebrew name such as Yeshua instead of the Greek twisted version Jesus

Years ago I went to a nativity show at a church. All sorts of nativities around the room (close to 100). One of the best things I saw was a picture of Joseph holding the baby Jesus while Mary slept. Showing that he was not only a father, but a daddy. The look on his face while holding the baby was of a loving man who was proud.
JESUS HAS NO PARENTS YOU NEED TO LEARN THE TRINITY
@@donhue4546the Bible says otherwise.
I was raised Catholic & I never thought Joseph was insignificant. Joseph married Mary & raised Jesus as his own. To me, he was a very special man.
Good to know more about Daddy Joe
You say at 6c3q into the video that ... or that Johna was swallowed by a whale. ... but scripture dose say johna was swallowed by a whale Mathew 12 vs 40 kjv Jonas was three days and three nights in the whales belly... this is Jesus talking here . Am I nit picking ?
he was the father of jesus - he and mary had sex !!
Ditto situation.
Joseph was married already prior to the pregnancy. Just Joseph had to go away to build rooms in his father's house. Then when the Father said it's time to get your bride. Legally Brandon is correct. This is why Mary could have been stoned for adultery. Catholics are gentile law keepers. If not Christ would not be on the cross still and idolators. as they have statues on their church. I was baptised as a baby and schooled as a Catholic. Sin is to be confessed to no man save God alone. When I could read and ask questions I understood the Catholic church was a Gentile copy cat church as the Orthodox Jews. No plan of salvation. Only plan of salvation for Gentiles are found in the book of Acts. Chapter 9 & 10 & 15. . Any less one is not a child of God.
Joseph is and has always been a very special figure in my life. Both my brother and I were adopted at birth and knew how profound and unique the unconditional love is from an adoptive father. Not a man who simply loves you from a biological stand point, but a man who chose to love you regardless and made you his beyond genetics and biology and all that. I always loved the idea of Joseph because I know first hand how special an adoptive father is. Mine was also a carpenter growing up (as well as a farmer) and taught his children more through hard work than anyone else could. My father is someone I look up to for multiple reasons and I imagine Jesus looked up to Joseph in a similar way.

I once sat in a sermon where a pastor said blatantly that the role of mothers are so much more important than that of the father, and he used the minimal mention of Joseph as the earthly father of Jesus, as his "reference". I am stunned how people can use scripture to "emphasise" their ideas, which are based on their own ignorance. Brandon, this was an answer to a question I've been asking a long time, because I refuse to believe that God's design for the family, being a father, mother and children, is a mistake. Everybody has a role to play.
Wow! I wonder than why the Bible says the Father's role is to teach the Word (Torah) to his children? See also Ephesians 6:4. I would have serious concerns about being under the leadership of that pastor!
Quite right, Brother James. Side note: in 1974, I married a lady with 4 children with the surname Chapman. Maybe in the Kingdom we can talk about what an adventure that was, in the Presence of our Master Yahusha ("Lord Jesus"), amein!
@@binyamin-zerachbenmoshe3622 Amen
I don't agree with that pastor, why would God reveal Himself as Father instead of Mother then, if father is not important? I heard surveys that say, a big percentage of problematic kids comes from fatherless home
@@wennemalino9013 I agree with you. Fatherless homes account for the vast majority of children with behavioural problems, delinquency, drug abuse, depression, teenage pregnancy, etc. The list goes on and on. But unfortunately, in our unbiblical, feminist-run society, men in general are made out to be evil in nature, not needed, oppressors of all human-kind. We are seen as the enemy, and everything that was once accepted as a norm for decency and stability in our society, is now made out to be 'unloving and judging'. Good is being called evil, and evil good. Precisely like the Bible foretold.
I’ve never heard a Protestant show so much love, respect, and admiration for Joseph.
Thank you for affirming his importance in Jesus's life. He is very significant not only in Jesus's life, but in ours as well. He's a wonderful example of unconditional love.
As a father and step father I love my children very much and now I know and understand that God sent those children my way for me to look after and take care of.
Blessed by God and his son Jesus✝️🙏🏽
The man who reflected the teachings of the Son he had yet to meet...
Wow. God be praised.
A man of such strength of character! One who needs more recognition and honour.
If Mary was the woman chosen among all women, Joseph was the man chosen among men.
Exactly!!
God was.
@@NotForNowNo God is God... Man is man. Peace be with you 🙏
Right on, Iris. Joseph & Mary were called and chosen to be the foster parents of our Master Yahusha ("Lord Jesus"), amein & amein!

I LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING!!!! THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! GLORY BE TO GOD!!!!
I have great admiration for Joseph. Joseph was, in my mind, so blessed. He was such a good man.
You have such a pleasant voice and none of what you have said can be argued with. Children don’t get to choose their parents, but Jesus did. He chose Joseph and Mary to be his parents and the recipients of his honour. That’s something that could make any of us proud and arrogant, but instead they lived with Jesus in silence and humility waiting for the time which Jesus chooses. They are truly worthy of the title of the Holy Family.
Thank you for your videos!
I am that Jesus. I am the son of God. We all are.
Literally EVERYTHING he states can be questioned.
SP, Jehovah God choose Joseph and Mary. They where cousins. Both bea ing of the Davidic line. Also they where both practising hebrews, being faithful, and true in their love of Jehovah!
Jesus is the only begotten son of Jehovah! We are all children of God! Choosing the world or serving God!
@@eilenekellogg7017 Yay! Incest!
We really don't hear much about Joseph. Very much enjoyed your video on him. What a beautiful heart and tremendous amount of faith he had.
Joseph, friend to God
Amen🙏🙏🙏
Joseph was a choosen man.
Brother Brandon you too you are a chosen one. I have nothing to give you but My prayers be with you.🙏🙏🙏
Love you Jesus, Brandon

Thank you for giving a glimpse into the mind and surroundings of Joseph. I have thought many times to myself what a good man that Joseph must have been for GOD to choose him to guide JESUS and be his earthly Father. I am certain they loved each other very much. But, Joseph had the weight of the world on his back, knowing that he was protecting, guiding, and teaching GOD'S only son. I really enjoy your talks! I am 63 and I really need your prayers this coming week. My son die May 25th. I am in bad health, but my heart is what is aching; what is breaking. My son was 43, and a freak bloodclot hit his heart. His birthday is November 19th. Since his death JESUS, my LORD has carried me every step that I have taken. And I am sure that he will on my baby's birthday, but I know that I will be a mess. I loved him so very much. Please pray for myself and my family this upcoming weekend. I know that it will be extremely difficult. GOD BLESS JESUS FOR LOVING ME AND CARRYING ME SINCE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH. And may GOD also BLESS you!!!
Hi, Sheila. I'm so sorry to hear about your son's death. I just prayed for you, that God will help you through your grief.
Praying for you-may God send you consolation
"but I know that I will be a mess"
When that mess is looming, please do not grieve too much.
Your son was following Jesus, don't count his untimely death as a heartbreaking loss. Rejoice, you'll follow him to great glory and joy, if ever you believed in the Lord Jesus.
My mother died with her hand in mine, my father had an urge to receive forgiveness before he died (you know, WW2 and all the times that as a clerk he had to decide on applications of people to whom he could not do justice in all aspects). I haven't had a moment of grief since, the prospects just look too good. We have a glimpse of what is coming.
It's Nov 20th, I'm one day late, but May 25th will come. And again I say, Rejoice! Be of good cheer, nothing is lost!
Lean on Jesus. He's true, always.

Thank you Brandon for your wonderful programme. I am now 75 years of age and all my life I have been struggling with questions which you are now providing me with answers. I have been in different ministries in the church, including being a reader, a server and a minister for communion amongst other things, but these things were never explained to me ever and I was beginning to loose my faith in my old age. You have given me my faith back. May God Bless you and give you health to keep on doing what you are doing.
I love the last part, ‘Joseph chose to be shamed.’ Thanks for your work and for sharing it! Praise God! ❤️🙏
I’m playing Joseph in a short film production for Christmas and this is an amazing reference thank you so much!
This is now clear to me why God chose Joseph because of his character and what he wanted his son to become through him thanks for this video God bless
What an amazing man he must of been! God, the Father, trusted him with His begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for talking about Joseph!
Thank you my brother and stay blessed in Jesus' mighty name. Amen
Thank you so much Brandon! I am still wondering what happened to Joseph. We appreciate your time and kindness in all your work! Blessings in Yeshua our Messiah!
Brandon, this was an excellent lesson. Giving thought to the "inn", I totally agree that the location was attached to a house. When I lived in Italy, there were several homes in the mountains/country where people lived above the " barn". I haven't related to that until hearing you refer to it. It just makes more sense and more relatable to the housing during those times. We have such a modern way of thinking and it can get in our way of what is truth in Scripture... Thank you for a fresh understanding of Gods Word. Blessings to you and your family.

@BELOVED JANET OF YAHWEH John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me."
JESUS TELLS YOU IN HIS OWN WORDS
Mathew 23
30And you say, `If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.
'31So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.32Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
34Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
35And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
37"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.38Look, your house is left to you desolate.39For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,
`Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'
Wow, Jesus has told me that too, years prior seeing this video. Praise God! 🌹
@BELOVED JANET OF YAHWEH Mathew 8:11
…When Christ heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
I say to you that many Gentiles will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”…

mary and joe had sex, that is where jesus came from, not a pretend made up god
Truth be told. Joseph was a beautiful man with a beautiful soul. He was an exceptional son of God.
Wow. Thank you for sharing the character of Joseph, the reality of life in Jesus' time and clarifying truths about what scripture doesn't say-contrary to poplar brief. Understanding Joeseph's heart, his choice to sacrifice, reveals God's plan for the birth of His son is not solely about choosing Mary, but choosing Joseph, too. "...in Joseph we get a glimpse of Jesus...". Wow. What an eye opener.
If the Bible doesn't say it we are forbidden to fill in the gaps. There's a place in Hell for those that do. Read your Bible and take only what you hear when you read God's word, otherwise you're sinning
I wish I would have known this 45 years ago. Of course I pray and look upon our St. Joseph now. But knowing him then as I know him now may have changed everything for me.
God bless you brother for the beautiful ministry and clarity of your message. Blessing and prayers from Sydney Australia.
When I was in Switzerland, our tour guide said that older homes had a lower level where the animals were kept. The warmth of the animals helped heat the portion of the house above them.
The idea of only 3 wisemen came from the fact there were 3 gifts given Jesus. The exact number of magi is not given, but there were probably several who more than likely travelled together for safety.
We all probably know the song “Mary, did you know?”, but there is also a song about Joseph. I think it is called “Joseph’s Song”. There is a line about Joseph being unsure how he can be a father to the Son of God. It is very poignant.
I am curious how the legend grew that Joseph was an old man (see the song “The Coventry Carol”) because he was also possibly only a teenager.
Maggie, the song is called “The Carol of Joseph”, written by Joel Smallbone, Luke Smallbone and Matt Hale. Performed by For King And Country. The lines… “How can I be the one, the one to father the Father’s Son, How can I raise a King, when this humble life is all I bring” says perfectly how this good man must have wondered about God’s plan. The song is on a Christmas album called “A Drummer Boy Christmas” by this group. All the songs are so well done. The video for “The Little Drummer Boy” is fantastic, and uses the set for “The Chosen”. Highly recommend to all!!
I love "Joseph's Song" by Michael Card. I wish one of our choir members would agree to sing it.
Oh my! I just listened to the one that Betty recommended about Joseph, by Michael Card. So beautiful. That is probably the one that Maggie was referring to. A much older song, apparently, than the one For King And Country recorded, just last year, I believe. But both are from the same perspective and give beautiful insight to St. Joseph. 💕

I really appreciate your videos, and the context and good information you give. Thank you so much for all your do and how you help people in both learning and faith.
You said you're not a Christian, but you didn't say you're an atheist or agnostic, either. Try something. Start reading the Bible and ask God to open your eyes while reading, even if you don't believe in Him. Just ask Him and I believe you will start to see and feel a change in your life and heart.

Beautiful Brandon. Joseph is an example for all fathers to follow. Thank you for your insights into this wonderful human being and human father of Jesus. God bless.
Thank your for this video your knowledge is amazing. We as Christians need to get the true meaning of the scriptures by finding the translation from the original word from the meaning of the word as it was during that time and in the original language. Thank you for opening my mind even further to the amazing life of Jesus and how Gods plan was for us from his love.

Joseph is the perfect example to look at if your a father or soon to be anew father. He took care of his family, hardworking, love and concern and protect his family. Hope all father's learn from this.
Mary Bell...Agreed. And I pray all women learn how important it is to be moral and obedient to the Lord so they can have a good husband and father in their and their childrens' lives. ❤✝️❤
Loved this Brandon. You brought out so much that I never knew. It was awesome. I know Jesus looked to Jesus as his earthly Father and He acknowledged God as His Heavenly Father. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you.
Psalm 69 tells about the hurt, shame, despair our Jesus suffered as He was growing up, not a happy household...... Jesus I love you, thank you for making me your own.
Thank you again, for pointing out the very often neglected point of the importance of Joseph, as Jesus's earthly father! It also ties in to the importance of all fathers in the lives of our sons (and daughters). This was an amazing eye opening moment!
We all need to follow the Words of the Bible and try our best to follow its directions and ask JESUS,S DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS BEST AS WE CAN AND SHOULD TO PLEASE OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN AMEN
Many Jewish weddings still sign a katubah, it is actually very beautiful. I never thought about Joseph being willing to shame himself by quietly divorcing Mary. Joseph a loving and obediant servent of The LORD, chosen to be Yeshua's earthly abba💖

@@jazshas really history & the bible tell us a different story..
Get behind me Satan with your bible only protestant heretical lies
@Quirico mazarin
What are the heretical lies? I believe there are saved Catholics because the scripture states ...
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13 KJV and...
that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:9-11 KJV
I just don't agree with Catholic doctrine because it is not rooted in the Word of God.
What happened in Genesis in the beginning? Adam got deceived by satan and lost his relationship with God through sin. This is the reason why God sent Jesus, the Messiah, into the world; to restore man's sonship relationship with Father God. Now how is that heretical?
The difficulty of accepting the sublime mystery of their spousal communion has led some, since the 2nd century, to think of Joseph as advanced in age and to consider him Mary's guardian more than her husband. It is instead a case of supposing that he was not an elderly man at the time, but that his interior perfection, the fruit of grace, led him to live his spousal relationship with Mary with virginal affection.
Mr. Brandon this is really amazing, the amount of insights you provide, the sincere emotions with which you elaborate on the Holy Scriptures, the conviction,the love, the humility, woow .... God bless you richly sir!!!
Your spotlight on Joseph adds new dimension to the Holy Family. I've always thought Joseph was neglected in light of the magnificent truth that Yaweh was the True and Divine Father of Jesus.
You remind us that for His early years Jesus was living with Mary and Joseph (though when Joseph died is not known), and that Joseph taught Jesus the craft of carpentry and possibly brick laying.
So in point of fact, Joseph would have had a close bond with the young Jesus.
I took Joseph for my Confirmation name and have a Holy Card with his image as a powerful and virile middle-aged man. We often lose sight of the fact that Joseph was divinely chosen to be Jesus's earthly father and teacher.
Thanks for much for your enthusiastic essay.
Thank you for highlighting his importance.
Thank you so much for the translations as well. So many of us do not understand Hebrew and Greek.
I really like the idea that they stayed at his family's house. That makes sense, as does the carpentry part, as does the seen as unclean part.
I glorify your holy name my lord Jesus Christ amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Brandon. I was so enlightened.
Thank. You. Brother.

I thank you for answering my questions about Joseph. Bless you Lord for this message in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit I pray Amen
Amen, and amen to that.
As a step father of a young man, Joseph sets an example of how to treat our step children. To me my he us as much my son as his mom and dad’s, especially since I helped raise him since he was 14
Thank you for the message, in this "Year of St Joseph", which is already known and taught in the Catholic Church. While the Masses for Christmas ( Dec 25 ) focus on the Birth of Jesus; Dec 26 is dedicated to the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It is your scholarship and insight into Hebrew culture which gives the correct interpretation of the Bible. The idea of "the Bible alone" leaves people vulnerable to misintepretation. Many do not take the time to study but thank God for utube which allows you to reach thousands.
Thanks for preaching the gospel.
I liked this very much, I just can't call Joseph, Jesus father, because God is Jesus father. I say the man that God chose to be in Jesus life. So Joseph and Mary was chosen, they are greatly favored and loved by God.
Joseph fathered Jesus. It is not unusual for a non-biologically related man to bring up children and be recognized as their father.
"Joseph fathered Jesus."
Exactly.
My husband is not our children's bioligical father, but, he is their father in every other way. We praise and thank God, Our Abba Father that he gave my husband this role in our lives.

* JOSEPH*:
Reflection of the ONE he was
yet to meet!!!!!
As a Catholic, I must say all you say about Joseph and Mary is very familiar . We have more in common than differences. Praise God!
There is history and the popes and their doctrines and the persecutions they never repented of.
Amen, Ana!
Well no dear one, they are definitely more differences. Catholics don't even believe that Mary gave birth naturally.
Thou shall have no other gods before me. We have much to think about Joseph and Mary's relationship but in no way are we suppose to bow down to make statues of Yeshua earthly parents. No where in the Bible twere there a commandment to do so. We are only told that Mary will be call blessed by all the world. We are not to mock God through making Yeshua earthly parents Idols which is the 2nd commandment. Is it not?
We do not worship mary nor the saints. We ask them to pray for us much like we ask for prayers from family and friends
His blessings are many as are mine I'm so glad I clicked on his . thank you
I’ve been loving these Christmas themed videos. I’ve learned to much about these situations in scripture through these videos and especially the prayer at the end of this video! Thanks Brandon for the videos, it’s truly God’s work!

That was an excellent lesson. I had always wondered why it was so important to show that Joseph was from the line of David when he was not the biological father of Jesus.
Thank you so much Brandon.
Me too, Patricia.
And yet the Roman Catholic priests remai silent in its praises for Joseph and his important role as Jesus's earthly gather. I am grateful for now knowing of Joseph's participation in the life of Jesus, our Saviour of the world's need for heaven's salvation. Thank you for this enlightenment of the life of Joseph's place, in the story that has been the cornerstone of humanitarian faith.
😃Interesting… but this year in Catholic Church is the St Joseph’ s year🙂! I am 52 and Catholic Joseph is usually named in our daily prayer… so this year … imagine! and the top model for our families is the Saint Famille ..Jesus …the son…Mary the mom and …Joseph l’humble et courageux Joseph…
Really then why does the Catholic Church created by Christ have Joseph as the guardian of the church.
Love how Mr Brandon gave you a ❤ comment for you saying priests don't talk about Joseph....when the opposite is true.
Charles go look up all the Catholic information of Joseph .....prayers/ books/ ect....
I did know most of the points but the details you give add tons to understand!
Thank you Brenden !
I had always thought that in Joseph "divorcing Mary quietly" that the community would think Mary conceived with another man. I did not realize that it would have been the opposite. Light bulb moment. Joseph willing to take on ALL the shame. 😢 Thank you Brandon for sharing this message. It makes that connection between Joseph and Jesus that much more "real" for me. You are doing God's work Brandon. Be Blessed.🙏

This is an excellent opportunity you did a lot to help us better have a better understanding.
Joseph is my favorite. Even more than following Jesus as my Lord and savior, Joseph is a perfect example of an earthly father.
Brother Brandon, this teaching re Joseph's role in Jesus' life is beautiful. Thank you so much.
Makes Me Proud Being Raised,and Still Reading My KJV
Thank you for this “rooted” message of Jesus’ birth and family. Joseph becomes highlighted as a loving, conscientious and devout husband and father and what an example of family man in these times, especially in USA, when so many men leave, walk off, from their fatherhood and leave a single mother as sole parent.
PRAISE GOD AND THE HOLY FAMILY.
Thank you. I think all of us were misled about Jesus in Christmas Songs.
An eye-wide opening moment.
I will watch your video again.
Beautiful! I love these "insights" and translations and such. They are always so satisfying! A good meal with good company. Thank you, Brandon Robbins -- peace to you and your family.
Oh, Joseph, dear Joseph. I think often of this man and think so very highly of him. I named one of my children after him. Whenever I think of him and what he did, in raising the Son of God, I feel for him a profound love. There are so many things I would say of him from those bits of information provided about him in the New Testament. Just the fact that Mary, the mother of the Son of God, who I believe was the greatest woman who ever lived was espoused and married to Joseph speaks wonders about his character. His closeness to God goes without saying: the angel of God spoke to him in a dream to marry his espoused, Mary, when he discovered she was pregnant, and to name the child Jesus; and then he was warned in a dream by the angel of God to flee to Egypt for the safety of Jesus' life. What a good, good man he was.
I studied the Bible in Israel. One of my professors there taught me that the original Greek text of the New Testament uses the word "tekton" to describe Joseph's profession as you brought up in your video - that the word tekton literally means "builder." Our Traditional English translations of the Bible mistakenly render the word tekton as "carpenter." Perhaps European translators used the word "carpenter" in place of "builder" because many buildings in Europe are made of wood. But in ancient Israel, the buildings were made of stone. When I lived in Israel studying the Bible and the history and archaeology of the Holy Land, I saw first-hand that stone is the primary building material, because stone is what is there to build with. Joseph and Jesus, the boy that Joseph raised, were not wood carpenters. They were stone masons. Before becoming a rabbi, Jesus likely worked as a builder for over fifteen years. In His teachings, Jesus never spoke once of wood carpentry. But he used many symbols and images from stone masonry, such as "A wise man built his house upon bedrock...and a foolish man built his house upon sand" (Matthew 7:24), and "The same stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone" (Matthew 21:42).
There are many more things I might say of Joseph. I could talk all day about him. One thing I would say about him that Brandon mentions in this video is that Joseph had a significant influence on Jesus Christ. And I honor Joseph for that.
What a beautiful lesson and testament to Saint Joseph.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for Explaining the role of Joseph. Though not mentioned much in the the bible, Joseph played a significant role in the life of Jesus . As a role model , teacher , and father. He did it all. Under the instructions of God the father
Thank you for the truthful information on the meaning of what we read in the Bible. This is why we need read the Bible over slowly and reread often. It is a book of learning and many times as we reread we pick up more knowledge that God desires us to know.
Very interesting understanding of Joseph, the adopted Father of Jesus! I was truly inspired by this reflection.

Here I am just out of back surgery today hungry for Christs word. Your words are not yours but from the spirit. I pray that the Lord will continue to speak through you.
Thank you! I just prayed for your healing from your surgery.
Amen!!! Thank You Brandon! I love your passion and Love you share with us all!

AGAIN what a wonderful insight on Joseph but prayer at the end AS always in your name or in his name INSTEAD OF IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY MAYBE A PET PEVE BUT LETS give glory to the one which its alllll about
In the year of St Joseph, it is good that he is being acknowledged as not just a bystander but an essential member of the holy family.
Awesome words from the Lord almighty, keep praying and preaching for the Lord...
