FOREVER!!!
 THAT IS A CONCEPT THAT IS DIFFICULT FOR OUR MINDS TO COMPREHEND!!!

HIS MERCY  Le  Olam

"O give thanks to the LORD, for HE is GOOD!"
for HIS mercy endures forever!" (Psalm 136:1).

DEFINITION:
Forever, olam  ("OH lahm");
Strongs # 5769:

Eternity; the ages; infinity; the universe, the world.
Derived from the verb 'alam ("veil from sight", or conceal), 'olam refers to that infinite and
everlasting expanse GOD has created.  It is BOTH  an unending expanse  of Space (Universe),
and time (eternity), indicating the limitless dimensions in which GOD's (Sovereignty) is
DISPLAYED.  The word 'olam sometimes refers to the remotely distant past (Psalm 93:2)
and sometimes to remotely distant future (Jeremiah 25:5).

GOD HIMSELF  is called 'EL OLAM' THE EVERLASTING GOD." (Genesis 21:33; Isaiah 40:28.
As GOD is eternal, so is His mercy le-'olam, that is, "unto the forever."

We humans  MIGHT  (in our own understanding) be moved to grant mercy to an individual or group for a specific act, or for a specified portion of time--------

But our FATHER IN HEAVEN --- His mercy endures FOREVER!!! (Psalm 136:1).

"O give THANKS to the LORD --- to HIM WHO has done great wonders,
for His mercy endures Forever. (Psalm 136:4).

"To Him who divided the Red Sea in two...for His mercy endures forever!!!(Psalm 136:13)

"To HIM  give THANKS - (He) who remembered us in our lowly state, for HIS MERCY
ENDURES FOREVER." (Psalm 136:23).

As GOD is Eternal, so is HIS mercy "le 'olam" that is, unto the forever. (Psalm 136:26).

PRAISE AND THANK YOU O GOD MOST HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

"YOU    ARE    WHAT    YOU    EAT!!!!!!!!!

"SO WHAT? SHOULD WE EAT???

CONTINUE READING.........JESUS CHRIST WILL ANSWER THAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!

From the TITLE of this message------I'll bet you thought this to be a message about a diet/eating plan.

Somewhat,-----but really it is about Eternal Life  -  both in

A. Endless time, and  endless space,
B. Our time here on earth --- living in the ETERNAL QUALITY of His life while we are here   on earth.  (please see John 10:10).

Let's see what JESUS CHRIST  --- "THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN"  has to say about this:
"Then (the people) said to Jesus, 'What shall we do, that we may work the works of GOD?'

Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of GOD, that you believe in HIM whom HE has sent."

"Therefore they said to Him (JESUS)  'what sign will you perform then, that we may see it and believe YOU?  What work will You do?
"Our Fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat."

Then Jesus said to them, ' Most assuredly I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven.

" For the bread of GOD is HE who came down from heaven and gives life to the world.

"Then they said to HIM, 'LORD, give us this bread always.'  And Jesus said to them, 'I AM the bread
of life.  He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and who believes in Me shall never thirst." (John 6:28-35.

This, the first of the seven "I AM" sayings of Jesus, is unique to John's Gospel.  There is an unmistakable parallel to GOD'S covenant name (YAHWEH) by which He revealed Himself to
Moses in Exodus 3:14, "I AM WHO I AM".  Jesus makes the pronouncement "I am the Bread of life
THREE times (verses 35, 48,51 of chapter 6 of John.  HE is the 'real' Heavenly Bread.
 In John 6:57 Jesus says "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in ME, and I in him.

To eat the flesh of JESUS and to drink His blood must be understood SPIRITUALLY.........the
expressions point to the violent sacrificial death He would suffer, and the necessity of believers
PARTAKING in the benefits of His death by COMING TO HIM AND BELIEVING IN HIM.

HE is the TRUE life-sustaining power; ANYTHING ELSE, regardless of its religious significance, is an INADEQUATE SUBSTITUTE.

Jesus carried the argument beyond the essential recognition that HE is the bread of life.  To believe
in Him means to partake of HIM. It is necessary for believers to partake in the benefits of His death
by coming to HIM and believing in Him.

OK, are you ready to eat now????????

"Trust in the Lord, and do good;
DWELL in the land and FEED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS..(Psalm 37:3)

"HE remains true [faithful to HIS WORD and HIS righteous character], for HE cannot deny HIMSELF." (2 Timothy 2:13/Amplified Bible).

WHAT A "BLESSED ASSURANCE"!!!!!!!!!!!!
