THE APOSTLE PAUL – LESSON 59

HIS LAST DAYS – PART 2

MARTYRED

After Paul’s house arrest ended under Nero’s benevolence, he enjoyed freedom during 64 A.D. to early 66 A.D. during which time he secured the stability of the churches he had planted. That all changed quickly.

Emperor Nero seems to have had a drastic change of heart toward both Jews and Christians. Beginning in 66 A.D. he began severe persecution.

In 67 A.D. Nero invaded Jerusalem and destroyed much of the city. He captured and executed the Apostle Peter. He captured Paul and brought him back to Rome. Once in Rome Paul was beheaded along the Ostian Way, which was a road running west along the Tiber River from Rome to the Seaport of the Tyrrhenian Sea. (Ostia is today a quarter of Rome.) He was executed three miles from the city at the riverbanks.

Later on, in 70 A.D. the total destruction of Jerusalem was completed. All Jews and Christians who managed to survive escaped to other countries. This dispersion is called “the diaspora.”

Nero died at the young age of 30, but the persecution continued with the executions of Thaddaeus in 72A.D., Barnabas in 73 A.D. and Simon Zelotes in 74 A.D. along with many other unknown martyrs.

Paul had finished his race. His legacy lives on today through the Christian church which he defined better than anyone. We owe much understanding of our faith and doctrine to him.

SEASONS

In the Book of Ecclesiastes, it tells us in chapter 3 that there are seasons. We go through them at various stages of life. We may not like some of them, but they will all come to us. Here are the seasons.

· A time to be born and a time to die

· A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted

· A time to kill and a time to heal

· A time to break down and a time to build up

· A time to weep and a time to laugh

· A time to mourn and a time to dance

· A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together

· A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing

· A time to get and a time to lose

· A time to keep and time to cast away

· A time to rend and a time to sew

· A time to keep silence and a time to speak

· A time to love and a time to hate

· A time of war and a time of peace

As you can see, there are seasons that come into each of our lives. There are good seasons and bad. I share this with you today because some of you are going through the hard places and I want to encourage you. For every hard place there is a good place coming. Don’t be discouraged if you are in a good place that a hard place will come. Just be prepared. Many Christians think once you are saved that everything will be a “bed of roses”, but that is not true. Scriptures cannot lie. So, fill yourself up with the Word of God. Put on your spiritual armor and be ready for what life throws at you. Remember the bad places only last for a season!

Teaching children to listen and obey is often a difficult task. This short story is about Jason who learned the hard way about not listening when he went down a trail to trouble.

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

AUGUST 28, 2021

You were chosen for such a time as this. You were made to be a warrior for the Lord. He will be with you every step of the way. Don’t have any doubt or fear. Don’t think you can’t do it when he said you could do all things through him for he is the one that strengthens you for this time. This is your hour to shine!

Now wipe those tears and rise up and be what he’s called you to be. You will slay giants in Jesus’ name while others around you will cower in fear!

Your battles that will be won will help others’ faith grow and they too will win their battles!

The Winds of Change are Here

A prophetic word, a warning, and a word of encouragement
