The Roman jailer, who was in charge of the prisoners locked up was asleep until an earthquake shook the prison and opened all the doors. An angel of the Lord smote the chains from Paul and Silas. The jailer proceeded to commit suicide and Paul said, not to worry nobody had escaped. Acts 16-27...
It's been quite the length of time I have wrote on this blog. As you might have already guessed by now, I only get a few passerby's. The reason is simple and clear to the chase, if I don't post once each week with fresh content the web spiders rank my site very low!
This blog will never reach in the 3-4 hundred per week status. I am not concerned as to how many come here, there are millions of sites sharing the word of God and asking for donations, I am not one of those asking for anything! "I was young and now I am old and I never seen the righteous forsaken neither his "seed" begging for bread"!
My hopes is that one, who couldn't be reached either at church or on other online sites, can get the messages that I am told to write to tell you personally, that Jesus is waiting with his hands outstretched this day for you! We have precious little time left, maybe one day, or one week or 5 years, in God's eye it's a wink!
What are we commanded to do from Jesus before He was crucified? He told us to "Watch and Pray", that you maybe counted worthy to escape the (hour of temptation), which will try the "Whole" world. "Watch for what? Watch for obvious signs in the end times. Israel will be the center piece of all this.

I wrote these articles, that came from my heart. In all fairness, "I am a sinner" saved by grace of God through Jesus Christ, who became the sacrificial lamb of God to take away all the sins of the world (My sins and my wife's) and we believe Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead with his glorified body.
We are awaiting for his sudden return in the heavens calling up the dead in Christ first and then calling us, who are still alive at the time, who have accepted the blood sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, up into the first heaven, to go back with our Lord to the throne room of God Almighty.
We will now see exactly what John seen, when he was taken in the spirit on the Lord's day! He seen the magnificent splendor and awesome beauty, when looking at the throne of God, and he saw as if an emerald rainbow was around the throne and myriads of Angels and all those which includes us before the Tribulation Hour.
One angel that moved the 2 ton stone that was sealed by Roman Seal and sat on the platform where lord's head was! The guards went into unconsciousness by the brightness of the Angels of the Lord. He told the two women go tell everyone, for Jesus has risen, he is not here!
I remember the jailer, who had experienced a powerful miracle, when the Apostle Paul and Silas, were in prison for their preaching about Jesus. I was a corrections officer for 7 years before I retired. Jails or prisons are no fun to be at! Working at a prison is like living with them day after day!
Prison is no fun for the Correction Officers or the prisoners as well. The "weaker" prisoner are consumed by sexual strong predators living in the same cell! They get raped every night and by day a few Officers couldn't catch them all! Morals are out the window! Hell will be far worse! I am not sure how I was able to work in that place for the amounted time of 7 years!
As they (Paul and Silas), we're singing psalms and praising God, the Church believers were praying with all their mights unto the Lord Jesus Christ for Paul and Silas to be delivered. In the middle of that night around midnight, they were set free in a miraculous way! Acts:16 verses 6-40.
You know miracles happen everyday if we look for them and be patient, when the're not happening as of yet. Expect It Anyways! God wants you to believe in faith and not doubting.
There was an earthquake and a bright light shown in the prison, then all the prison doors came open and the shackles were dropped off both ankles and wrists, the shackles fell to the ground both for the prisoners and the two disciples.
The answer came, an Angel showed himself and with a sizable earth quake, the doors busted open and all the chains and cuffs fell off all the prisoners and all the cell doors flung open wide. This was not good for the Roman Centurion, he had orders!
The only guard on duty drew out his sword ready to kill himself and Paul said to the Roman guard, not to worry, everyone is still here! The Roman guard asked Paul, how he could obtain this salvation.
Just one evening of the faithful in Christ praying for Paul and Silas opened up the day for the new gentile believers. The Roman Guard was no believer! After the Angel event, he and his family became believers!
The Apostle Paul said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved! It seems the Roman guard heard these two Apostles talking about their God and the Lord Jesus Christ, while in the jail cell as they were signing Praises/Hymns unto God.
Here we are in the middle of the night a bright light appears, shining and glimmering! I don't know about you, but that would have shook me up at first! The glory of God was shining through this angel.
Here's the thing, how many of us, when we are beaten up and left for dead somewhere in some dark alley, can somehow lift up their hearts and praise God never wavering in the faith for his glory, while suffering from whatever calamity that besieges all Christians from time to time!

Did you know if God would not have called you to his Son, you would in all likelihood being going to Hell! The trinity new this, so out of His mercy, He decided a certain amount would be saved for all eternity.
It's easy to praise the Lord when things are going well, in fact, if no bad situations come for a time, sometimes we forget in our busy lives, to take time to praise the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
By the time we settle in, when the evening is spent, we fall asleep! We start the whole day over again, kind of like the movie "Ground Hog Day" with Bill Murray. The devils want us to be using our time of prayer and study on things like working for that brand new car or house!
Even in the midst of misery in one's lifetime, praise and being thankful is, what the Lord loves to find in a person of faith. For the Lord dwells in His peoples praises. If you want Jesus in your heart, praise him for what he already done for you on the cross!
The Temple body is, still as sinful as Adam's was, only with greater use of technologies in these end of days! When we are saved, the Holy Spirt Cleans up house within your spirit and places Himself on the empty throne that once housed your pride or whatever character you projected to the outside world.
He, will live inside your spirit until (the day of redemption) the "Feast of Trumpets", also known as the great resurrection. Both He and the Father and the Holy Spirit, in other words, the "Trinity" will take up residence inside your human temple! We are not to quench the Holy Spirit inside you!
He actually resides in your praises. This is huge! Almighty God living in our thankfulness to him! Where an Holy God is, there has got to be life and peace! Even in our unholy flesh, God is able to created from the sin soaked person, a new and glorious body at the time of the rapture!
The Apostle Paul said, "We don't know what we are going to look like when the "Caught Up" occurs, but when I see Him, I will be just like Him, for I shall see Him as He is! To see Him is to be like Him for we will see Him as He is!
When praising God from your heart, it helps release the heavy burdens for that moment, so we can continue to pray to Jesus or the Father without interruption of our flesh bodies.
He, Almighty God and Jesus, actually lives in us for our praises! I don't praise the Lord, so I can get something of value from Him, My wife and I praises the Father and the Son for allowing us to live each day in these uncertain times.
People have been dying all around us for the past twenty years of our marriage! One day I awaken and it was my birthday and I was 45 years old. I fell asleep one evening and woke up and now I am 62 years old! Nah!
The Holy Spirit protects us from the invisible enemies of our souls. If we knew in the slightest what is out there, invisible to us, who want to destroy us, some would probably be suicidal if their eyes were open to such things as these wicked spirits.
In my state, our mayor sold us out! Letting ANTIFA and BLM destroy many businesses up to hundreds and millions of dollars in damages! Police were executed point blank range! satan is having a field day!
So, it's important for the governor to protect us/our society from these deserving individuals, who have earned their way into the jail cells and prisons, by hiring local prison guards/policeman as first responders. The problem is our mayor sanction the protest of both good and evil on our streets. Police were ordered to stand down!
When the mayor sanctioned this ANTIFA and BLM to takeover my town, she signed everyones death certificate! Murders shot up! Assault and Battery cases exploded. Our statues have been destroyed!
I prayed about all this I felt deep inside my being the Holy Spirit is telling us to purchase more stock of food cans etc. and 20 pounds of beef jerky! The Holy Spirit told my wife's to invest into gold in 2018! We purchase 6 each, one ounce gold coins.
I have to keep reminding myself everyday, death is not the end of our existence, it is the beginning of our eternity in Christ Jesus. Yes, it's scary no doubt to die, it is the "Valley of the Shadow of Death" that we fear the most!
Our Lord Jesus performed this miracle so the Prison Guard of Rome could witness it himself and now knows, that this Hebrew God they worship, was real! Thus to show the praying saints can pray for the miraculous when in distress!
He is a miracle creator! You say miracles are not for today! I disagree, Jesus Christ is alive in his Glorified Body not made by hands. He is still a living miracle. If you don't believe in miracles today, how can you honestly call yourself a Christ follower?
If you follow Jesus, he is still an active miracle worker. If he were just a man, I would probably agree with you. Jesus didn't give up creating miracles in your lives, maybe you gave up in believing for them!
Did you know, when you accepted the Lord Jesus into your lives, it isn't long before He uses His rod of correction. Jesus judges His followers while they are still alive. If we be judge being alive, where will the sinner and ungodly appear in the day of judgment?
Our prayers for a miracle may or may not happen! This depends if the Lord wants certain people to go through their calamities in their lives, to make them strong for their future in Him.
We as human beings need to be reared by our great Sheppard with his Rod of correction and along with his staff to point the way for us. We, to the Almighty God are but dumb sheep! We have no idea of the forces around wants us Christians obliterated.
When you have the Holy Spirit within your spirit, He through you can be opened to miracles! The Holy Spirit is the "retainer" that seals us unto the day of Redemption.
We can't predict with surety when we are going to leave this planet into the eternal realm of God! Even if we have cancer, doctors can't know for sure when you will give up the ghost. Only Jesus knows!
One thing I think about is, will I live tomorrow or will I die in some horrible accident or shot by a stray bullet. When your time is up, this will be one appointment you and I will be on time for! No matter the circumstances that get you there!
All that has to happen is for the angel to draw out his sword and cut your spiritual umbilical cord commanded by Almighty God and as the Old Testament Prophet would say, "And then we fly away!
The sinner everyday walks on thin glass and below it are demons waiting their arrival. This thin glass is God's enduring mercy for them to repent and receive Jesus Christ, his Son for their salvation.
Why does it seem the sinners live much longer lives and continue on sinning while alive on earth and don't account to know one except themselves? Our Father allows this, to reach the "sinner" and bring him unto himself.
He Jesus the Christ, almighty God in the flesh, allows the sinner to live and hopes they will accept his "Life" invitation by asking Jesus our Lord to forgive them and except Him in their hearts.
This chance has a limited time frame! Maybe by tomorrow some poor soul maybe thinking, he would live another twenty or thirty years unto retirement, all the sudden dies of a heart attack. He never talked with Jesus, never came to salvation and now he is doomed for all eternity!
If it's up to us to seek God and His Son, we wouldn't! Because our hearts were evil since we come to the age of accountability for our sins. We were born in sin and we would die in our sins and go to hell for eternal punishment, if it is left up to us.
The Apostle Paul was constantly struggling with "sin"! He, Paul, had an ailment, that he asked Jesus to heal him, but the Lord said unto Paul, "My strength is perfected in your "Weakness"! Near the end Paul understood, it was to keep him from puffing up!
I am looking for being "Caught Up" in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, the dead in Christ will rise first and those who are alive and remain, shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the lord. 1st Thessalonians 4-13.

Romans 7:15-20 New International Version (NIV)
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. Apostle Paul said, "With my body I serve sin but with my mind I serve the Living Christ!
This is why the Father of our Lord Jesus tugs at the sinners heart strings. He would just drop the sinner like a sack of potatoes at the feet of Jesus, for them to make a conscious decision to be with him for all eternity or to be separated from him for all eternity.I am looking for being "Caught Up" in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, the dead in Christ will rise first and those who are alive and remain, shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the lord. 1st Thessalonians 4-13.
I asked for forgiveness and asked Jesus into my heart by"Faith" not by any works from me, lest I boast, that I could something to ensure I would get to heaven, this God said, He would slide you down in the pits of hell.
It's by "faith" I am saved "not by works" or "traditions of men" and this is acceptable to God. There will come days in our lives that you feel are you really saved? Are you sure? demons can constantly whisper into your minds. We need that "Helmet" of Salvation!
I study and read scripture according to each dispensation. There was a time I didn't know what "dispensation" meant, so I looked it up on the web. We are well too educated and have too many tools at our exposure to cry out ignorance at the White Throne of Judgment!
Wisdom will be given to you by Almighty God himself! But when you pray to him for this wisdom, you must believe in him and that he is able to give you what you seek. Don't be double minded, like a wave tossed to and fro with the wind!
Too much knowledge can cause confusion and our God is not an author of confusion! When you study the New Testament and the book of Acts, Hebrews etc, pray that God will send you an Angel to teach you understanding of what you're reading.
It also says, you need not man to teach you, the Holy Spirit (inside you) will teach you of all things pertaining to the word of God. It is still a requirement to study and show thyself approved unto God that a workman need not to be ashamed, but can rightly divide the word of truth and can answer everyman his own questions.
I don't believe a person when they say, "I can't understand the scriptures"! Anyone can read the New Testament in basic English, heck, those, who wrote the New Testament, these were fishermen, not high society educated Romans.
Time is a perception nothing physical! For Almighty God is outside of "time" itself. While we live in these frail bodies made from the earth, we will have limitations galore! God is Spirit and we are flesh and blood.
I was told to keep and open heart, when I read Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and the Book of Acts three times in 30 days...I wasn't sure as to the "Why" of it. At the time, I didn't have any "time" to do what I wanted.
During the 4th week of reading and taking time with scriptures, I had so much time come back to me, I didn't know what to do with it all! It just snuck up on me! The time I put into God's words, He in turn changed my perception of time to give me more of it!
The Lord had me to give to certain ministries during my young years as a Christian and He told me, try me, prove me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and poor you out a blessing, where you will not have room for all of it.
I didn't have a church at the time, my parents didn't believe in God like I did. I manage to learn of the late Oral Roberts and I wrote into him and he would send my dozens of books, thick ones on the word of God!
Being obedient I had done so. Sometimes the Lord will personally tell you to do things with his word and it might not make any sense at the moment, but you obey! Certainly, being obedient will cause and intervention from the most high as it did for me.
The Lord was right, I was extremely blessed both financially and physically and spiritually! Yet, obedience to God is better than a sacrifice of a fool. Obedience, is harder to do because our flesh which is still sinful wars against our spirits.
At the beginning of it, I was having a huge "time issues" in everything I was doing. After I completed the reading, I had more time than I ever had in my life. The weird things was, I was blessed in all types of areas, all my needs were met!
The best learning I had was from the Holy Spirit, He trained me in His word and there was no way for man's corruption at that time to interfere with this training! I planted a seed of faith for "time", "finances", spiritual understanding, and the list goes on.
Promote God's word first (as a seed of faith) in your lives and it will promote you above the nations of the earth (this seed will grow and produce a great harvest). Almighty God says what he means and means what he says.
Reading the "word" like that of a good novel has no power! Plugging yourselves into the word, by "acting" outright, following the "Word", has power to change the world and yourselves.
The Lord bless me with so much time after spending the time in those books of the Bible. I can finally go fishing or do the things I wanted to do! But he gave me much more! He visited me on the spiritual plains and revealed himself in many other ways throughout my young life to me.
The Lord didn't spread the Gospel to the world with men who were well educated. He simply chose the meek and humble with practically no education whatsoever, to write the Holy Script of God!
These fisherman were simple everyday roughens that had to put meals on their tables each day. Yet, Jesus had them write the entire New Testament and other following books of scriptures! God said, I resist the proud but give grace to the humble.
You wouldn't heard of no Roman Lawyer writing the scriptures or the well to do educated clicks in Rome. Because they think it is all about them! You can't understand the Bible with human logic, it defies logic, it's spiritual!
These dispensational timelines keeps every book in its proper time line of events and of specific groups of saints at different time intervals, so we know, who Jesus is referring too. When studying the New Testament of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and the book of Acts ask Jesus to give you wisdom and understanding!
In Revelations in a first couple of chapters, Jesus is talking with John and showing John what he thinks of the Churches of his lifetime. In chapter 4 of Revelation, John is taken up into heaven in the Holy of Holies and he see's the Almighty God in all his glory.
This will help us to know whom our Lord is speaking to in the books of Revelation. For the first 4 chapters of Revelation, it is all about the Church and the age of grace. Further on chapter 5 almost to the end is about Israel and their salvation!
And upon His (Jesus) resurrection and from the Apostle Paul, he stated; that Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments and the other Jewish laws to the letter, while living his life for his Father. Jesus was a carpenter most of his life humble with no fan fair.
Jesus told Thomas who doubted his resurrection, Thomas reach hither in my side touch my hands, when Thomas did this he said, my Lord and my God! Jesus said, Thomas you have believed because you see the proof, yet blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe!
It seemed the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, deemed it not a necessity to know about his personal life before his ministry. Well, one thing is for certain, he lived the perfect Jewish life!
There are no scriptural history of our Lord and Savior, what he accomplished before his ministry. He was probably admiring the body temple God gave to him (Not in a prideful sense) and how intricate and wonderfully He was made! This would be my guess!
Certainly Jesus fulfilled what "man" was incapable of doing in the first place in the last 4000 years before the birth of Christ. Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments to the letter! He was everything the first Adam was not!
Jesus was taken up on a high pinnacle and was shown all of the future kingdoms and the glory of them, he said, I can give this to anyone I desire. satan says, "All these things I will give to you, if you fall down and do an act of worship to me."
Jesus replies "Get away, Satan! It is written: "You shall worship the Lord your God and only Him shall you serve".
In today's world temptation seem to be a hundred fold, it is coming at us in a thousand different ways! Knowledge has increased just in the past one hundred years of our 200th year as a nation.
We are never tempted of God, Almighty God doesn't tempt his children. His children are tempted because of the lust of their flesh and all its instruments. satan is very much aware of our weaknesses. satan depends on our lack of knowledge in God's word and in our fears and weaknesses.
Had the princes of demons and satan known what Jesus came here for, they would have never crucified the Lord of Glory! Remember you are never alone, nor shall you ever be! We do walk through the valley of the shadow of death but we will not fear evil, for Jesus is with us or carrying us through the shadows unto his glorious and marvelous lights.
Today is the day of salvation, quit putting off your salvation until some other time. You might not have tomorrow and you will either go to heaven or hell by your lack of decision or the making of the right decision.
Can you walk on the water like the fisherman Peter, if not, you and I need to pray for the faith to do so. If Peter was able to, why not us! He was not an educated man, he was like his fathers before him a sinful fisherman trying to make a living.
Invite Jesus into your hearts and to takeover your lives using your little faith, like Peter did when he asked Jesus to let him walk on the water to him. Fear is what made Peter begin to sink! Taking his eyes off Jesus, started the sinking process!
His, (Peter's) faith was enough, the distractions of the waves and storm placed fear in his heart or in his deep seated soul and he took his eyes off of Jesus for a single moment and he began to sink and he cried out, Lord save me! How many of us were in those type situations before!
Jesus reach down and grabbed his hand and pulled him up and out of the sinking water under their feet and He, Jesus, walked him back to the boat and the boat was on land a split second later. Oh, yea of little faith, wherefore did you doubt!
God bless and keep you vigilant and strong in his might!
It's by "faith" I am saved "not by works" or "traditions of men" and this is acceptable to God. There will come days in our lives that you feel are you really saved? Are you sure? demons can constantly whisper into your minds. We need that "Helmet" of Salvation!
I study and read scripture according to each dispensation. There was a time I didn't know what "dispensation" meant, so I looked it up on the web. We are well too educated and have too many tools at our exposure to cry out ignorance at the White Throne of Judgment!
Wisdom will be given to you by Almighty God himself! But when you pray to him for this wisdom, you must believe in him and that he is able to give you what you seek. Don't be double minded, like a wave tossed to and fro with the wind!
Too much knowledge can cause confusion and our God is not an author of confusion! When you study the New Testament and the book of Acts, Hebrews etc, pray that God will send you an Angel to teach you understanding of what you're reading.
It also says, you need not man to teach you, the Holy Spirit (inside you) will teach you of all things pertaining to the word of God. It is still a requirement to study and show thyself approved unto God that a workman need not to be ashamed, but can rightly divide the word of truth and can answer everyman his own questions.
I don't believe a person when they say, "I can't understand the scriptures"! Anyone can read the New Testament in basic English, heck, those, who wrote the New Testament, these were fishermen, not high society educated Romans.
Time is a perception nothing physical! For Almighty God is outside of "time" itself. While we live in these frail bodies made from the earth, we will have limitations galore! God is Spirit and we are flesh and blood.
I was told to keep and open heart, when I read Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and the Book of Acts three times in 30 days...I wasn't sure as to the "Why" of it. At the time, I didn't have any "time" to do what I wanted.
During the 4th week of reading and taking time with scriptures, I had so much time come back to me, I didn't know what to do with it all! It just snuck up on me! The time I put into God's words, He in turn changed my perception of time to give me more of it!
The Lord had me to give to certain ministries during my young years as a Christian and He told me, try me, prove me and see if I will not open the windows of heaven and poor you out a blessing, where you will not have room for all of it.
I didn't have a church at the time, my parents didn't believe in God like I did. I manage to learn of the late Oral Roberts and I wrote into him and he would send my dozens of books, thick ones on the word of God!
Being obedient I had done so. Sometimes the Lord will personally tell you to do things with his word and it might not make any sense at the moment, but you obey! Certainly, being obedient will cause and intervention from the most high as it did for me.
The Lord was right, I was extremely blessed both financially and physically and spiritually! Yet, obedience to God is better than a sacrifice of a fool. Obedience, is harder to do because our flesh which is still sinful wars against our spirits.
At the beginning of it, I was having a huge "time issues" in everything I was doing. After I completed the reading, I had more time than I ever had in my life. The weird things was, I was blessed in all types of areas, all my needs were met!
The best learning I had was from the Holy Spirit, He trained me in His word and there was no way for man's corruption at that time to interfere with this training! I planted a seed of faith for "time", "finances", spiritual understanding, and the list goes on.
Promote God's word first (as a seed of faith) in your lives and it will promote you above the nations of the earth (this seed will grow and produce a great harvest). Almighty God says what he means and means what he says.
Reading the "word" like that of a good novel has no power! Plugging yourselves into the word, by "acting" outright, following the "Word", has power to change the world and yourselves.
The Lord bless me with so much time after spending the time in those books of the Bible. I can finally go fishing or do the things I wanted to do! But he gave me much more! He visited me on the spiritual plains and revealed himself in many other ways throughout my young life to me.
The Lord didn't spread the Gospel to the world with men who were well educated. He simply chose the meek and humble with practically no education whatsoever, to write the Holy Script of God!
These fisherman were simple everyday roughens that had to put meals on their tables each day. Yet, Jesus had them write the entire New Testament and other following books of scriptures! God said, I resist the proud but give grace to the humble.
You wouldn't heard of no Roman Lawyer writing the scriptures or the well to do educated clicks in Rome. Because they think it is all about them! You can't understand the Bible with human logic, it defies logic, it's spiritual!
These dispensational timelines keeps every book in its proper time line of events and of specific groups of saints at different time intervals, so we know, who Jesus is referring too. When studying the New Testament of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John and the book of Acts ask Jesus to give you wisdom and understanding!
In Revelations in a first couple of chapters, Jesus is talking with John and showing John what he thinks of the Churches of his lifetime. In chapter 4 of Revelation, John is taken up into heaven in the Holy of Holies and he see's the Almighty God in all his glory.
This will help us to know whom our Lord is speaking to in the books of Revelation. For the first 4 chapters of Revelation, it is all about the Church and the age of grace. Further on chapter 5 almost to the end is about Israel and their salvation!
And upon His (Jesus) resurrection and from the Apostle Paul, he stated; that Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments and the other Jewish laws to the letter, while living his life for his Father. Jesus was a carpenter most of his life humble with no fan fair.
Jesus told Thomas who doubted his resurrection, Thomas reach hither in my side touch my hands, when Thomas did this he said, my Lord and my God! Jesus said, Thomas you have believed because you see the proof, yet blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe!
It seemed the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, deemed it not a necessity to know about his personal life before his ministry. Well, one thing is for certain, he lived the perfect Jewish life!
There are no scriptural history of our Lord and Savior, what he accomplished before his ministry. He was probably admiring the body temple God gave to him (Not in a prideful sense) and how intricate and wonderfully He was made! This would be my guess!
Certainly Jesus fulfilled what "man" was incapable of doing in the first place in the last 4000 years before the birth of Christ. Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments to the letter! He was everything the first Adam was not!
Jesus was taken up on a high pinnacle and was shown all of the future kingdoms and the glory of them, he said, I can give this to anyone I desire. satan says, "All these things I will give to you, if you fall down and do an act of worship to me."
Jesus replies "Get away, Satan! It is written: "You shall worship the Lord your God and only Him shall you serve".
In today's world temptation seem to be a hundred fold, it is coming at us in a thousand different ways! Knowledge has increased just in the past one hundred years of our 200th year as a nation.
