We are walking in today: El Olam--The Everlasting God.
HERE IN JOB 38:4-7 GOD WANTS TO GET OUR ATTENTION, WE ARE SOOOOO BLESSED.
EL O LAM
The God of Perpetuity- no end, indefinitely
Job 38:4-7 (NIV)
4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angel shouted for joy?
El O lam as...
The Everlasting God, Who was, before all worlds, and will be, when time and days shall be no more.
Job 38:4-7 (NIV) (emphasis added) 4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? (I WAS NOT FORMED FROM MY MOTHER WOMB YET, LORD) Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? (Yes I know LORD (MY BOSS) YOU DID) YOU STRETCHED a plumbline across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
(I UNDERSTAND NOW, LORD FROM YOUR REVELATION OF AMOS 7:7-8)
WHEN GOD WANTS TO STRESS A POINT OR GET OUR ATTENTION FAMILY WE KNOW THAT HE SAYS THINGS MORE THAN ONCE.
AMOS 7:7-8 7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” “A plumb line,” I replied. Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
**Again verse 7 says: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb with a plumb line in his hand.
TRUE- fully realized or fulfilled
TRUE - Reliable; accurate
TRUE -Accurately shaped or fitted:
TRUE - Accurately placed, delivered, or thrown (as Min. Sharon said, that a plumb line is dropped
TRUE -To position (something) so as to make it balanced, level, or squared,
TRUE- Proper aligned or adjusted
TRUE TO PLUMB: THE LORD WAS STANDING BY A WALL THAT HAD BEEN BUILT TRUE TO EXAMINING CLOSELY OR DEEPLY; TO PROBE
THE LORD WAS STANDING BY A WALL, FAMILY THAT HAD BEEN BUILT RELIABLE , A WALL Accurately shaped or fitted: A WALL Accurately placed, delivered, or thrown, A WALL positioned so as to make it balanced, level, or squared
He is going to balance us, he has positioned us, he has accurately shaped and fitted us, he has placed, delivered and thrown us . Family I am fully realized and fulfilled
DEFINITION OF PLUMB: A LEAD WEIGHT ATTACHED TO A LINE AND USED TO INDICATE A VERTICAL DIRECTION
When carpenters build a house, FAMILY their goal is to create a foundation and a floor that are perfectly horizontal, and walls that are perfectly vertical or plumb,
Physics
The plumb line follows the line of gravity. I am talking about a lead weight (a plumb) attached to a line, AND USED TO INDICATE A VERTICAL DIRECTION
Straight walls are strongest when they conform perfectly to this line. When these structures are built correctly, the force of gravity is evenly displaced down the slanted members of the structures and into the foundation. This creates a compressive force that actually makes the structure stronger rather than weaker
Jesus helps us put the importance of the knowledge of the Names of God in proper perspective, teaching us how we should begin our prayers in Mt 6:9 KJV Our Father Who art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy Name....
God's Name is to be hallowed, to be sanctified, to be consecrated, to be made (considered) holy, to be set apart (not just in our head but in our heart, in our lives of loving, Spirit filled obedience)!
And so by focusing on God's Great and Glorious Names is ever how we are to begin our prayers, our petitions, our supplications, our requests, our DECLARATIONS for assistance! And so we must know what God teaches about His Great Name. For this reason we must study in depth the Names of God, not just knowing the Names "superficially" (e.g. knowing a specific title such as Jehovah Jireh, as excellent as that title is) but knowing His Names intimately, WE NEED TO "Biblically" know how and why God chose to reveal them and what impact His self revelation had on the saints to whom they were revealed and continues to have on our lives today.
God's Name, El Olam is His self-revelation. Neither Abraham, nor we would not have come to know on our own that God is everlasting had He not taught this truth in this great Name! El Olam sums up this attribute of His being. God is the...
Everlasting God
Eternal God
God of All Time
God of Ages
The Unchangeable God
The God of Perpetuity- no end indefinitely
To know God's Name is to know Him in a "supernaturally intimate" way! (John 17:3) there is only One True God Who is able to help!
There are many Names for God because God is so great He cannot adequately be described by one Name El O Lam also refer to this present world, as when the psalmist says, “These are the ungodly, who prosper in the world” (olam, Ps.73:12), meaning they prospered in this present age or in this lifetime. In these references, olam simply expresses the purpose of God in time and does not mean without limits. It shows that God has a purpose in time that is not yet known-it is a mystery. El Olam is “God who has His own purpose in time,” or, the “God of this time.” It implies that God is working His will behind the scenes, and that His purpose will eventually be completed.
We have seen that the name Jehovah is taken from the verb Hayah, which means “I am that I am.” Jehovah is the God of the present tense. El Olam is the everlasting God, the God of the future, who “will be what I will be.”
(APPLICATION) God's revelations are not mere luxuries for personal enjoyment, but are given for the purpose of preparing the soul for fuller service and still clearer testimony for God.

DOING GOD'S WILL
KNOWING GOD'S WAYS
Comment: We know that there is no "new revelation" for the Bible represents God's full revelation to man. And yet we also know that as we walk with God through life, we can expect (and should desire) to have a greater spiritual understanding of His character and His ways. But how does this occur? Is it automatic? What part do we play? In John 7 Jesus declared....
“If (the condition) any man is willing to do His will, (the promise) he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself." (John 7:17)
Notice the conditional statement-this deals with our responsibility "to do His will" or in other words to obey the truth we already know. To say it another way "When God puts a period, don't change it to a question mark!" Remember that the word obey means "hearing under" with the implication that sincere doing will follow submissive hearing.
Jesus follows the conditional statement with a promise that we "shall know of the teaching." In other words, the Spirit of Truth will illuminate the Word of Truth, opening our minds to see the wonderful Truth in His Word (Ps 119:18, Eph 1:16-19, Col 1:9-10)
For the humbling of Job, God here shows him his ignorance even concerning the earth and the sea. Though so near, though so bulky, yet he could give no account of their origination, much less of heaven above or hell beneath, which are at such a distance, or of the several parts of matter which are so minute, and then, least of all, of the divine counsels.
El Olam sums up this attribute of His being. God is the...
