Worship: For Heaven’s Sake “The closing years of the ill-fated kingdom of Israel were marked with violence and bloodshed such as had never been witnessed even in the worst periods of strife and unrest under the house of Ahab. For two centuries and more the rulers of the ten tribes had been sowing the wind; now they were reaping the whirlwind.PK279.1” (Read more below.)

Words of Encouragement
Revelation 15:2-3 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I count myself not to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

“…Multitudes perished miserably of hunger and disease as well as by the sword. The city and nation fell, and the broken remnant of the ten tribes were carried away captive and scattered in the provinces of the Assyrian realm.PK 291.2
“The destruction that befell the northern kingdom was a direct judgment from Heaven. The Assyrians were merely the instruments that God used to carry out His purpose. Through Isaiah, who began to prophesy shortly before the fall of Samaria, the Lord referred to the Assyrian hosts as ‘the rod of Mine anger.’ ‘The staff in their hand,’ He said, ‘is Mine indignation.’ Isaiah 10:5.PK 291.3
“Grievously had the children of Israel ‘sinned against the Lord their God, … and wrought wicked things.’ ‘They would not hear, but … rejected His statutes, and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He testified against them.’ It was because they had ‘left all the commandments of the Lord their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal,’ and refused steadfastly to repent, that the Lord ‘afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until He had cast them out of His sight,’ in harmony with the plain warnings He had sent them “by all His servants the prophets.”PK 291.4
“’So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria,’ ‘because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed His covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.’ 2 Kings 17:7, 11, 14-16, 20, 23; 18:12.PK 292.1
“In the terrible judgments brought upon the ten tribes the Lord had a wise and merciful purpose. That which He could no longer do through them in the land of their fathers He would seek to accomplish by scattering them among the heathen. His plan for the salvation of all who should choose to avail themselves of pardon through the Saviour of the human race must yet be fulfilled; and in the afflictions brought upon Israel, He was preparing the way for His glory to be revealed to the nations of earth. Not all who were carried captive were impenitent. Among them were some who had remained true to God, and others who had humbled themselves before Him. Through these, “the sons of the living God” (Hosea 1:10), He would bring multitudes in the Assyrian realm to a knowledge of the attributes of His character and the beneficence of His law.PK 292.2

For Health’s Sake…
Bone is 70 percent calcium and phosphorus. Arthritis is caused when pieces of calcium deposits get wedged between joints. When calcium is needed in the bloodstream, it is pulled from the bone. En route calcium gets deposited in joints and cause inflammation and pain.
When the blood becomes too acidic, calcium is needed in the bloodstream to help alkalinize it. Blood becomes acidic when the flesh of dead animals is eaten. Consuming too many nuts and grains and not enough fruits and vegetables cause the same results.
Arthritis is the result of poor dietary habits. Arthritis is not the result of old age.
