The word "new" occurs 192 times in the New International Version of the Bible. As we are approaching the New Year 2012, let us examine new things in the light of the Scriptures.
Ecc 1:9-10,"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say: Look! This is something new? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time."
Note: The word new in Hebrew is chadash which means new thing, never existing before, fresh; - it occurs 53 times in the Old Testament. When I was a boy growing up, there was an old man who raped a young girl – that was new and most shocking to me. Growing up I never heard of man having sex with a man. Some time ago as a young adult, in America when a man was interested in you, he must be interested in being your friend. Today, in America when a man is interested in you, you have to watch out because he might want to have sex with you. Something even worse is happening; some states have legalized same-sex marriage. Who in the world would think man would marry a man, and a woman would marry a woman? Most absurd and abnormal! Yet the president of the United States even sent an official letter in congratulating a gay couple in New York having got married six months after their wedding. A boy could not know, but the ancient Sodomites practiced homosexuality in Sodom and Gomorrah; for that reason God destroyed them with fire from heaven. Read Genesis Chapter 19. Gen 19:4-5,"Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him: Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sex with them." Are you not shocked that the men of Sodom, both young and old, wanted to have sex with angels who appeared to Lot like men? I was shocked to learn in America there are 10 year old boys who engage sex with 9 year old girls. When Solomon declared there is nothing new under the sun, he must be talking something new in kind. Business people in the name of profit like to make commercials by calling their products new or improved. When American commercials say about something new, that means new under aspects of time and quality.
I do not know Donald J. Trump. I am no friend of Mr. Trump. I do not believe he is qualified to be the president the same way I do not believe Obama, Hillary Clinton, etc. are qualified to be American president. I do not believe Mr. Trump or anyone running for president is able to "Make Our Country Great Again." I think America has reached the point of no return -- with imperialist foreign policy in pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination, making and preparing for wars of aggression against Russia and China, violations of international law and sovereignty of many nations, lies and killings, discrimination and violence, drugs and monopolies, predatory and fraudulent healthcare and business practices, flawed legal system and injustice, huge deficits and largest national debt over $18 trillion, corrupt and unresponsive government, self-serving bureaucrats, wrong priorities, held hostage by powerful and special interests. I do not have any interest in the person or possession or position of Mr. Trump. But I defend his right to say anything or have opinion which is not false or unfair. I do not know Mr. Trump is a racist or not. Not all Mexicans crossing the border in to the U.S. are rapists; the fact that some illegal Mexicans in America have been rapists and committed other major offenses can be verified. I am only interested in facts and truth. To tell the truth is not derogatory. To say American leaders since the end of World War II have been liars and killers is not derogatory because it is a proven fact. For American and Japanese leaders to say China is threat is not only derogatory, it is a false accusation. I have proposed to have American English as the official national language of America and opposed using of any foreign language in government, business, and public places. I have lived in California some half a century. California was the Golden State when Richard Nixon was the President, the best of everything in the Union. I have observed and watched in person how California is being destroyed and ruined by illegal aliens, Latino and Black gangs, crimes, drugs, graffiti, crooks and criminals, pimps and prostitutes, fake documentation, false claims, welfare population, prison population, dropout population, unemployment population, single-parent population, homosexual population, and by Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood.
Facts speak louder than propaganda and prejudice.
On June 27, 2015 I believe the Unites States of America is destined to doom and destruction.
I don't believe the United States of America can be saved, or can last another century.
June 27, 2015 Supreme Court declared nationwide right to same-sex
marriage. The U.S. government (executive, legislative, judiciary) works
together to destroy the Christian faith and value. Although American
has never been a Christian nation, it is now no. 1 anti-Christian and
anti-Bible nation in the world, thanks to the work of American leaders
including Obama. It was like a 10-point earthquake and giant tsunami
that wiped out the foundation of American moral values. America has
committed a moral suicide that is wiping out the foundation of
Christian value and practice. The U.S. Supreme Court decision is a
proof of American moral suicide which holds the three branches of
government responsible and liable. Obama has accomplished nothing
positive worthy to be mentioned in his two-terms, and yet this same-sex
legalization is his achievement. In American world of distortion and
perversion, the unnatural is declared natural; the abnormal is
legalized as normal. America has a reached a moral point of no return –
the moral Cassandra train is accelerating without brake or restraint in
a fast track to doom and destruction. The destination of American high
speed train is collapse of human civilization. The biggest and blackest
lie is about marriage equality. Same-sex marriage is not an issue of
equality; it is an issue of abnormality. Pretty soon in America there
will be advocates for marriage with animals – bestiality. If
homosexuality has succeeded in becoming legal in America, bestiality is
not far away.

Based on the facts presented above, I would no longer consider Scandinavia my favorite nations. At least the Scandinavia I knew (in 1975-76) is no longer the Scandinavia it is today. There is no endearment in deviation; fish-eye is not a precious pearl. Sad is the imminent collapse of human civilization.
Here I stand, I can do no otherwise.
The night is far spent, and the day is at hand. The coming of the Lord is near. The second coming of Christ is imminent.

The answer is: the evil empire of America.
American democracy is phony, tyrannical aristocracy is true. The organized, vested and special interests; the presidential gang, the self-appointed chieftains of congress, the corporate syndicates of Wall Street and Hollywood, the self-serving bureaucrats; the gun, healthcare, drug and insurance monopolies; the Washington lobbies, the entitlement groups, etc. rule the United States. The one percent of American population rules the 99 percent of population which is fundamentally contrary to democracy that is majority rule. The same organized special interests rule America, the same the Gang of Seven nations (America, Japan, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy) rules the world. Let China, Russia, and oppressed nations of Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa join forces to overthrow the oppressive world order set up by the Axis of Evil led by the United States and supported by the evil empire of Japan and rat and rogue nations. Judging from all the deeds and events have taken place post World War II by American leaders (elected and appointed, civilian and military), there be enormous wickedness or insanity all the way. No honest child of God would believe anyone of them is a Christian. Except President Richard Nixon, in spite of Watergate, sought a just a lasting peace for the world.
Now at length of some 51 years of experience and observation, I do not have the happiness to know that America is a setting Sun. They are brought about by treacherous and malicious American leaders. The sun of America can rise again if American people throw out American imperialists, hegemonists and militarists and give up the evil empire to regain the respectable Republic.
It is most sad and shocking that American leaders (elected and appointed, civilian and military), attested by facts and proofs assuredly do not have:
1. Sincerity
2. Integrity
3. Morality
4. Responsibility
5. Humanity
6. Honestly
7. Good will
8. Compassion
9. Righteousness
10. Goodness
11. Justice
12. Truth
13. Trustworthiness
In pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination, fixing on immoral principles and self-interest American leaders have used means and have done the most malicious, vicious, wicked and evil things only God knows all of them. What kind of monsters and warmongers have American leaders become? Just keep a record of what they say and do since post World War II. Beyond doubt, they have proved themselves to be liars and killers par excellence since the end of World War II. If there is a true portrait of America the evil empire, all its leaders are under the sheltering wings of Injustice and Folly, crowned with corruption, greed and violence by the devil disguised as an angel of light, illuminated for the whole world to see.
There is no reason to believe American imperialism will cease in the near future; there is much reason to believe that American leaders will grow worse and worse and may bring the world to the verge of global nuclear war and total destruction, unless they are effectively stopped by massive and fierce protests of American voters, or God. Although they claim to be Christians, Jesus Christ defines them as children of the devil. Jhn 8:44, "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
What is the G7?
G7 is the gang of seven nations attempting to dominate and dictate the world by force and tyranny.
Its purpose and modus operandi are outdated, hopeless, useless,
harmful, counterproductive and destructive. They cannot solve problems
of the world solely because they are the causes of world problems; they
are world's pressing problems.
The Seven Gangsters are over ambitious, conniving, deceitful, immoral and unscrupulous persons, hoping to profit from the chaos and confusion and conflict rapidly overtaking the world. Except the japs prime minister who is a believer in primitive religion and idol worshiper, the other six persons claim to be Christians. But liars and killers are not Christians, they are children of the devil according to Jesus Christ. Birds of a feather flock together, they flock with the evil prime minister of Japan, so they belong together. The Gang of 7 nations hypocritically expressed concern (June 2015) about unilateral moves attempting to change the status quo in the East China Sea and the South China Sea and will commit maintaining maritime order under international law is an attempt to distort historical facts and cover up for American aggression and expansion since America is not even a signatory member of UN Navigation Act. In the first place, the East China Sea and the South China Sea belong to China long before America and Japan have existed, the devils of seven attempt to change the status quo of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The United States and Japan have violated China since the infamous Opium Wars to this day. What China does to its own territories is no concern of anyone, especially America and Japan who violated the international law and sovereignty of China in 1971 by illegally giving administrative control of China's Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. Are the other 5 members of the G7 ignorant of this fact or blind to truth or they believe a lie? It is disappointing that decent nations like Germany and Canada would become part of the American and Japanese conspiracy. In particular those nations which showed outrage and anger about Japanese denial of World War II war crimes, sex slavery and genocide unduly become partners with America and Japan in the evil scheme of distorting facts and spreading falsehoods about China and Russia in an attempt of pursuing absolute military supremacy and world domination. According to the Bible, all nations who are co-conspirators with America and Japan participate in their evil deeds and guilt. G7 is the root cause of world problems; let all peace-loving nations denounce it and reject their self-claimed leadership and condemn their violations of international law and sovereignty of nations. America is the leader of the Axis of Evil because it militarily and politically supports the false claims to and robbing and looting of China's territories and resources in the East China Sea and the South China Sea by its running dogs Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, etc. Since post World War II, the United States and its allies have illegally instigated hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions that killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world. America and its allies are responsible for creating the dire problems in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, etc. The Gang of 7 led by America with its aggression, expansion and provocation is inciting a global nuclear war that will destroy and end the world.
The member states of the G7 are the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, Italy, Japan and Germany; collectively known as the "Group of Seven," and represent the world's largest industrialized economies. Since economies are tied closely to politics, it is their politics that cause world-wide economic problems. Take the U.S. the sole superpower which in post World War II became the warmonger, arbitrator, oppressor and suppressor and international bully of nations. The post World War II world created by the U.S. and its gang represents a bad, unfair, unjust, unrighteous and ugly world. The American leadership becomes the number one threat to the world. With its support, the evil empire of Japan becomes the second threat to the world because of its resurgent militarism and the denial of war crimes and distortion of history. The third threat is Islamic terrorism, a reaction to American imperialism, hegemonism and militarism. Japan is the worst nation on earth after World War II which has no reason to exist, it exists for the unholy ambition of resurgent Japanese imperialism and militarism and its role as running dog of America. Although Germany, America, United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Italy all urged Japan to face with its war crime liabilities and responsibilities, they produce no result and Japan should be ostracized and isolated as a pariah nation. The evil empire of Japan has three internal time bombs, namely national deficits and debts, bank debts and pension debts. It would not be a surprise if Japan goes bankrupt. American leadership is wrong and morally, politically, economically unsustainable. The policy of aggression and expansion by conquest is ludicrous and ridiculous in the 21st century and Post Cold War world. As it has been the case of China's led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), all American allies and friends especially the 5 member of G7 (except America and Japan) have abandoned American leadership and have become the founding members of AIIB. American leadership should be treated as a passé, a new world order should be built and begun in cooperation with China, Russia and all the oppressed nations of the world. Imperialism and colonialism of any form can no longer be accepted or tolerated. As long as America is the self-appointed world leader and self-anointed world police and arbitrator, there will be wars of aggression and intervention; and peace, prosperity and stability will not be possible. Japan is openly and clearly a nation does not want to redeem itself and a hopeless international outcast. America is unlikely in the near future to change its face and skin of an imperialist. The only hope for the world is to unite Europe, China, Russia, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the rest of the world in building a community of nations based on mutual benefits, harmony, equality, international law, justice and peace. On the path to peace, prosperity, stability and harmony – America and Japan are stumbling blocks to be removed if they do not remove themselves. Not only the Cold War is over, the era of military alliance and confrontation is also over. American and Japanese leaders do not seem to get the message.
The new world order has begun if only the five nations and China, Russia, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa seize the golden opportunity once in a thousand years of China-proposed "Silk Road Economic Belt" – (一带一路 along the way) all inclusive is the brightest policy, as containment of China policy is the worst policy since the end of World War II because of its exclusive and aggressive nature. The development strategies represented by China and AIIB members for common prosperity for all participants to boost cooperation on infrastructure, energy, finance, security, and cultural and people-to-people exchanges will serve as a new beginning. What a brave and bright new world for all, excluded imperialist and terrorist.
In self-defense it would be wise for China to drop or turn down the coming state visit to America, for Obama is a devil disguised as an angel of peace. To visit America in the face of its aggression, expansion, provocation, hostility, falsehood and ill will only exacerbate the situation, like adding fuel to fire. You cannot do business with a devil, the man's words have no value, and his heart as black as charcoal. It is time for China to implement tit for tat policy in retaliation against American imperialist, Japanese militarist, aggression and expansion of leprous and rogue nations Philippines and Vietnam with fit response and strong measures, otherwise the enemies of China might conclude China is weak and construe China's inaction as weakness.
THE UNITED STATES' WITHDRAWAL FROM INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE JURISDICTION clearly demonstrates and displays the intent of U.S.'s unwillingness to comply with international law and participation in international dispute settlement processes. American leaders have violated too many laws and conducted so many unjust wars and bloody military interventions which had killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world since the end of World War II that they are afraid to be prosecuted.
American leaders are political, economic and military spiders expert and skillful in weaving an intricate web of deceit and falsehood to victimize China and Russia in pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world dictatorship in leading the Axis of Evil consisting of the evil empire of Japan, Australia and rat and rogue nations of Philippines, Vietnam, etc. It is good that Thailand refuses to become a military base of America. It is wise for Singapore to wake up and ditch America as a military base. It is hoped India would not fall for American trap of entanglement. It is hoped that Korea would reject to be American running dog with Japan and reunify with North Korea. Let all peace-loving nations rise up to reject American imperialism and hegemonism for good.
God's law is by nature good, just and precious.
In comparison the nature of American law is malicious, vicious and wicked. For example, the US-Taiwan Relations Act is such a malicious, vicious and evil law. The United States violated international law and sovereignty of China by making a province of China, Taiwan, an American colony since 1949 by military force, even the U.S. recognizes Taiwan as a part of China; and forces Taiwan to buy American lethal and costly weapons so that the Chinese may kill Chinese. The American leaders have kept Taiwan separate from China to this day and do not want Taiwan to reunify with China because American leaders are afraid of a strong and united China. Sadly there are Chinese traitors in Taiwan such as Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian, Ma Ying-jeou, and anti-China Party DPP民进党 Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文 who are willing running dogs of America and take orders from Washington.
A political prostitute from Taiwan seeks pimps in Washington.
Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文hypocritically
and fraudulently lifts up two phony banners of democracy and peace. If
Taiwan is a true democracy (democracy means majority rule not just
having useless and manipulated election), why would the political
opportunist prostitute herself in seeking recognition, protection and
approval from a foreign power - the enemy of China? By what right
America has anything to do or say about the internal affairs of China
and Taiwan? If she believes in peace, why she all Taiwanese American
agents and running dogs want to buy costly and deadly American weapons
so that the Taiwanese could kill Chinese? If the Taiwanese traitor Tsai Ing-wen is
really for peace, why doesn't she object to one of the four largest
American radar networks installed in Taiwan targeting to destroy China's
nuclear facilities and strike back nuclear capabilities.
What American leaders and the anti-China party DPP want
is to keep the status quo of Taiwan being a protected colony of
America, and Taiwanese leaders taking orders from Washington, and Taiwan
never reunifies with China. For American leaders and Taiwanese traitors
do not want and they are afraid of a strong and united China. They have
betrayed the motherland, their ancestors, the honor of the Chinese
people. China will have no choice but to liberate the treacherous Taiwan
by force for good.
蔡英文in English means no win.
The anti-China Party DPP民进党 Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文 who goes to Washington to seek approval and instruction is like a prostitute who seeks protection and liaison from a pimp. The current status of Taiwan is abnormal because it was created by the American imperialist in 1949 that violated the international law and sovereignty of China by sending the 7th Fleet to protect the defeated regime of Chiang Kai-shek and thus prevented Taiwan from reunification with Mainland China to this day. Adding injury to insult, American leaders in 1979 passed the illegal and unconstitutional so-called the U.S.-Taiwan Relations Act to force sell costly and deadly weapons to Taiwan so that the Taiwanese may kill the Chinese in fulfilling American strategy of "divide and destroy" China. America also established one of the four largest radar networks in Taiwan (the other three are in Japan, Philippines and Korea) intended to target China's nuclear facilities and China's strike back nuclear capabilities. The U.S. set up military bases in Singapore, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Australia, Vietnam, etc. in order to encircle and target China. Taiwan present status is a protective colony of American imperialist in violation of international law. The DPP leaders and followers want to separate Taiwan from China and become independent. There is no evidence that either party (Kuomintang and DPP) want sincerely or seriously join China in defense of China's Diaoyu Islands or protect the territorial integrity of China against America and the evil empire of Japan. Both leaders of the two parties are willing agents and running dogs of America more or less. This rebellious and treacherous situation cannot be allowed to continue any longer. There is no evidence to indicate Taiwanese are patriotic Chinese, they only want to make big money and get benefits from China. Ample evidence can be used to level charges of treason against Lee Teng-hui, Chen Shui-bian, Ma Ying-jeou, Tsai Ing-wen 蔡英文, the mayor of Taipei, etc. When Taiwan is liberated, these traitors and running dogs of America should be put on trial to be executed in public and let them stink for a thousands years.
What does the American imperialist have to gain in wasting trillions and trillions of dollars in conducting hundreds of unjust wars and bloody military interventions that killed millions and millions of innocent peoples around the world since the end of World War II in pursuit of absolute military supremacy and world domination to become the most hated nation on earth? Those wasted trillions and trillions of dollars can be used to build an American good society with great infrastructure such as super high speed trains, super subways, super highways and freeways, super airports, super harbors, super schools, super affordable housing, super affordable healthcare system and a super fair legal system that benefit Americans and win the respect and admiration of the world for being a great Republic. Apparently, American leaders (except President Richard Nixon) lack good sense and wisdom. They are leading the United States of America and the world to the path of death and destruction.
True knowledge of America consists of knowing what America is and is not. Anything more than that is delusion and illusion. For American leaders hypocritically pretend to be what America is not and tell scurrilous lies. American armed forces in Asia Pacific is not the security for Asia Pacific, they are the threat to Asia Pacific, they are the threat to the world. A friend of mine told me American threat is worse than the terrorism and threat of Islamic state. I concur. There is sword hidden in the mouth of American leaders and blood in their hands. Since the end of World War II, American leaders have been proven liars and killers; except President Nixon who sought a just and lasting peace for the world. Jesus says, those who lift up the sword will die by the sword.

American leaders have become so arrogant and abusive and aggressive and aggromaniac that they appointed themselves the police, judges and executors of the world since the end of World War II. Now American leaders have complete military alliance with the evil empire of Japan intended to dominate and dictate the world. They do not patrol in their own backyards (east and west coast of America and Japan's Sea), they want to patrol in China's backyards in the South China's Sea and the East China's Sea and the Black Sea of Russia's front yard.
The oppressed nations and peoples of the world must rise up to reject American self-appointed leadership and de-Americanize the world. The decent and peace-loving nations and peoples of the world must rise up to kick the evil empire of Japan out of the United Nations because not only it has not abided by its unconditional surrender agreement, Japan has denied all its war crimes, committed resurgent militarism and joined America in pursuit of aggression and expansion again. The world cannot accept that. The evil empire of Japan has no reason to exist.
American leaders are so blind and obsesssed with power and money that they cannot see the handwriting on the wall, MENE, MENE, TEKEL. Except Japan, all American friends and allies have abandoned the U.S. in joining China's led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). How much more they will abandon America if American-instigated war of aggression and intervention breaks out? No people or nation wants to die for American imperialism and hegemonism and militarism!!!
American leaders do no want to know the truth!
The U.S. and the evil empire of Japan conspired to rob and occupy China's Diaoyu Islands, not only they do not repent and right the wrong; they turn around and facetiously say that China must obey international rule - the wickendness of two evil empires reaches Heaven.
Americans must arise because American leaders force America to stand on the wrong side of history by standing with the evil empire of Japan!

Rev 21:5,"He who was seated on the throne said: I am making everything new! Then He said: Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Note: The Greek word for new is kainos which means new as respects form, as respects substance of a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of; - it occurs 44 times in the New Testament. The new heaven and the new earth and the New Jerusalem revealed in Book of Revelation must be new not only of time, but of quality, and above all of kind.
1Cr 2:9,"But as it is written: The things which God has prepared for those who love Him which eye has not seen, ear has not heard, and which have not entered into the heart of man." All the things regarding the new heaven, the new earth and the New Jerusalem must be new in kind, new in quality, new in everything, beyond human comprehension.

Gen 27:28,"May God give you of heaven's dew and of earth's richness--an abundance of grain and new wine."
Note: New wine does not mean a wine which never existed before, it simply means a wine fresh of this year or recently.
Gen 27:37,"Isaac answered Esau: I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?"
Note: Grain and new wine are used to sustain life.
Num 18:12,"I give you all the finest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain they give the LORD as the firstfruits of their harvest."
2Ki 18:32,"Until I come and take you to a land like your own, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey. Choose life and not death! Do not listen to Hezekiah, for he is misleading you when he says: The LORD will deliver us."
Psa 4:7,"You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound."
Note: Grain and new wine fill human heart with joy.
Pro 3:10,"Then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."
Isa 36:17,"Until I come and take you to a land like your own--a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards."
Isa 62:8,"The Lord has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: Never again will I give your grain as food for your enemies, and never again will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled."
Joe 3:18,"In that day the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills will flow with milk; all the ravines of Judah will run with water. A fountain will flow out of the Lord's house and will water the valley of acacias."
Amo 9:13,"The days are coming, declares the LORD, when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills."
Zec 9:17,"How attractive and beautiful they will be! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women."
Note: All the Scriptures cited above seem to indicate new wine as God's material blessing. How?
Isa 24:7,"The new wine dries up and the vine withers; all the merrymakers groan." As a contrast, when the new wine dries up and the vine withers indicate bad things are happening.
Hsa 2:9, "Therefore I will take away my grain when it ripens, and my new wine when it is ready. I will take back my wool and my linen, intended to cover her nakedness."
Hsa 9:2,"Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people; the new wine will fail them."
Joe 1:5,"Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips." The Bible condemns drunkards; in fact drunkards will go into Hell. I personally never drink wine or liquor.
Mat 9:17,"Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
Mar 2:22,"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins."
Luk 5:38,"No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins."
Luk 5:37,"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined."
Note: Do not poor new wine into old wineskins. This Scripture teaches do not mix the old with the new. The old and the new do not match.
Luk 5:39,"And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says: The old is better."
Note: New wine is tacitly set over against the vintage of past years; it may be characterized by austere and strong. People prefer old wine which is sweet and mellow through age.
2. New clothing.
Gen 45:22,"To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes."
Note: New clothing means recently made, unused and unworn. New clothing makes people feel good. A warm coat is necessary for cold winter. I believe it is obscene for a minister or preacher to wear a $10,000 suit or for a Christian woman to wear $10,000 fur coat.
Jam 2:1-4,"My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say: You sit here in a good place, and you say to the poor man: You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool, have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?"
Note: I have known an assistant pastor of a large church who would salute people who came to church in nice cars and ignore people who came on foot. All fashion is driven by vanity. Women are prone to fall into vanity.
1Ti 2:9,"Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness." The Greek word for adorn is kosmeō which means to put in order, arrange, make ready, prepare, ornament, adore, act in an honorable way; - it occurs 10 times in the New Testament. How much better for a woman to adorn herself with modesty, good works, and godliness.
3. New king.
Exd 1:8,"Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt."
Note: When a new king, who did not know about Joseph and all his achievements, came to power, it spelled disaster for the Jews because the new king started to persecute them. After Nixon, all the new presidents or his successors only created disasters for the United States that contributed to the destruction of the world and decline of America. After Nixon, the caliber and character and capacity of successive presidents diminished. After Nixon there does not seem to have a competent leader.
4. New grain.
Lev 2:14,"If you bring a grain offering of first fruits to the Lord, offer crushed heads of new grain roasted in the fire."
Note: New grain is not a new kind of grain, it simply means grain fresh of this year. Have you ever eaten new rice? The fresh smell of new rice is incredible and delicious. New grain means first ripe grain, newly harvested. 2Ki 4:42,"A man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing the man of God twenty loaves of barley bread baked from the first ripe grain, along with some heads of new grain. Give it to the people to eat, Elisha said."
Lev 23:14,"You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live."
Lev 23:16,"Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord."
Num 28:26,"On the day of firstfruits, when you present to the Lord an offering of new grain during the Feast of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work."
Deu 7:13,"He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land--your grain, new wine and oil--the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you."
Deu 33:28,"So Israel will live in safety alone; Jacob's spring is secure in a land of grain and new wine, where the heavens drop dew."
Note: A good land blessed with grain and new wine and oil and cattle, secure spring, and where the heavens drop dew and people live in safety is better than phony democracy and greedy capitalism. When we were children we ate new rice that smelled and tasted so good and that none can compare with the ones you buy from supermarket.
5. New gods.
Deu 32:17,"They sacrificed to demons who were not God, to gods whom they have not known, new gods who came lately, whom your fathers did not dread."
Note: New gods do not mean new gods that people just discover; they were unheard of, who had not been previously worshipped. They were just demons. Chinese people had a custom of inventing gods; famous people after death were worshipped as gods; for example Guan Yu, Yue Fei, etc. Most Chinese worship their ancestors and dead parents, Christians must not. Idolatry is a grave sin against God.
The most outrageous are the primitive people of Japan, evil Japanese prime minister and officials who glorify and worship their convicted and executed war criminals as national heroes and true gods!
6. New clay.
Lev 14:42,"Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house."
Note: For construction of a house, new materials are good. Now there is technology to build a house properly insulated to prevent heat or cold. The world needs "new clay" so to speak or new materials or new technology in construction of houses and buildings in order to save energy, land, resources, and the environment. The walls of a house or apartment should be built in a way the winter cold or the summer heat will not penetrate. The roof should withstand rain, snow, and storm.
7. New harvest.
Lev 26:10,"You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new."
Note: This Scripture describes the bountiful harvest. The harvest was bountiful that while you are still eating last year's harvest, you will have to make storage for the new. It is a sin to pour milk to the ground because of overproduction. The nations which are not self-sufficient in food production are miserable beggars.
When I was a child we ate new rice which none can be compared with what you buy from supermarket.
8. New Moon festivals.
Num 10:10,"Also at your times of rejoicing--your appointed feasts and New Moon festivals--you are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God. I am the Lord your God."
1Sa 20:5,"So David said: Look, tomorrow is the New Moon festival, and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow."
1Ch 23:31,"And whenever burnt offerings were presented to the Lord on Sabbaths and at New Moon festivals and at appointed feasts. They were to serve before the Lord regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them."
Neh 10:33,"For the bread set out on the table; for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings; for the offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moon festivals and appointed feasts; for the holy offerings; for sin offerings to make atonement for Israel; and for all the duties of the house of our God."
Isa 1:14,"Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them."
Hsa 5:7,"They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children. Now their New Moon festivals will devour them and their fields."
Note: The Jews have the New Moon festivals, the Chinese and Asians have their Autumn Full Moon festivals. New Moon or Full Moon seems to be a good time to celebrate.
Isa 1:13,"Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations--I cannot bear your evil assemblies." Why?
Amo 8:5, "Saying: When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?--skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales." God cannot bear the wicked who boost the price and cheat with dishonest scales and give offerings to the church. God hates the phony philanthropists who got rich through crooked means and to compensate their guilt they establish so-called charity foundations.
Col 2:16,"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day."
Note: Christians are not bound by any religious festival or a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. The Sabbath is for the Jews to keep. Christians do not keep days; Christians keep the commandments of the Lord.
9. Something new.
Num 16:30,"But if the Lord brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the Lord with contempt."
Note: Historically, the Lord did something new by opening the mouth of the earth and swallowed up the wicked Korah and the congregation who rebelled against the Lord.
10. New house.
Deu 20:5,"The officers shall say to the army: Has anyone built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else may dedicate it."
Deu 22:8,"When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof."
Note: Make your home a place dedicated to serve the Lord. It is quite a good feeling when you move into your new house. Many got rich through crooked real estate deals by robbing the peasant land and conspiring with corrupt officials to get big government loan and built expensive apartments and villas to sell at high prices. You are responsible if something like tile, etc. falls from the roof or flower pot, etc. falls from your balcony. Your mansion may be destroyed by earthquake, swept away by flood or tsunami, and robbed and burned to ashes. Have you ever seen mansions due to landslide fell into the river and carried away? Christians have mansion in heaven, the Paradise.
11. New grass.
Deu 32:2,"Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants."
Note: Showers on new grass make it grow abundantly. The teaching of the Lord must take root in our hearts and bear fruit in our lives.
Psa 90:5,"You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning."
Psa 90:6,"Though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered."
Pro 27:25, "When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in."
Note: Grass is analogous to the brevity of life; it springs up new in the morning, and by evening it is dries and withers. All the wealth and power of Wall Street and Washington will wither and vanish like grass.
12. New wineskins
Jos 9:13,"And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey."
Job 32:19,"Inside I am like bottled-up wine, like new wineskins ready to burst."
Note: New wineskins are strong and elastic, not worn out through age and use. All the things of the world are like old wineskins ready to burst.
Mar 2:21,"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse."
Just as the new wineskins do not match with the old wine and so the new patch is not compatible with an old garment.
13. New ropes.
Jdg 15:13,"Agreed, they answered: We will only tie you up and hand you over to them. We will not kill you. So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock."
Jdg 16:11,"He said: If anyone ties me securely with new ropes that have never been used, I'll become as weak as any other man."
Jdg 16:12,"So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them. Then, with men hidden in the room, she called to him: Samson, the Philistines are upon you! But he snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were threads."
Note: New ropes cannot bind the power of God. Women like Delilah have new ropes to tie and bind men. Be careful not to let woman's rope to hang yourself. 2Cr 6:14,"Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?" Christians cannot marry unbelievers. Do not be bound together with unbelievers.
14. New cart.
1Sa 6:7,"Now then, get a new cart ready, with two cows that have calved and have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away and pen them up."
2Sa 6:3,"They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart."
1Ch 13:7,"They moved the ark of God from Abinadab's house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it."
Note: It is quite a good feeling to own your first new car. We must dedicate the new and the best to be used to the Lord's service. To have proliferation of private cars in the world only spells disaster because private cars are the number one polluters of the air and the environment.
15. New sword.
2Sa 21:16,"And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels and who was armed with a new sword, said he would kill David."
Note: New sword does not have power to kill the righteous. A giant cannot win by strength alone. All the weapons of mass destruction only hasten the doomsday of the world. Eph 6:13-17,"Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." Christians engage in spiritual battle will need to take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God to fight against the evil forces in the world.
16. New altar.
2Ki 16:14,"The bronze altar that stood before the LORD he brought from the front of the temple--from between the new altar and the temple of the LORD--and put it on the north side of the new altar."
2Ki 16:15,"King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest:
On the large new altar, offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance."
Note: The Hebrew word for altar is mizbeach which means a raised up holy place where offerings to God are made; - it occurs 402 times in the Old Testament.
Rev 8:3,"Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne."
Note: The Greek word for altar is thysiastērion which means the altar of incense which stood in the sanctuary or the Holy Place; - it occurs 23 times in the New Testament. Our sincere heart is the altar to offer our prayers and praises to God.
17. New shoots.
Job 14:7,"At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail."
Note: The Hebrew word for shoot is yowneqeth which means young plant, twig, tender branch, sprout, growth; - it occurs 6 times in the Old Testament.
Eph 4:16,"From whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love."
Note: Mormonism, Seventh Day Adventism, Jehovah Witness, etc. are not new shoots of Christianity; they are heresies. The evil religion although mentions Jesus as a prophet has nothing to do with Christianity. It is an offshoot of Satanic religion. The Christian church must be fitted and held together by the Word of God, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body of Christ for the building up of itself in love.
18. New owners.
Jer 8:10,"Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit."
Note: In government and politics, the vicious cycle goes on endlessly. One bad regime is replaced by another worse regime. One dictator is replaced by another worse dictator. In business new owners may be good or bad all depends what kind of owners they are. In apartment complex, the new owner always wants to raise the rent. All business owners, new or old, are greedy for gain. There are ministers and preachers today who practice deceit for money and vain glory even though in a megachurch or cathedral.
19. New song.
Psa 33:3,"Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy."
Psa 40:3,"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord."
Psa 96:1,"Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth."
Psa 98:1, "A psalm. Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for him."
Psa 144:9,"I will sing a new song to you, O God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you."
Psa 149:1,"Praise the Lord. Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise in the assembly of the saints."
Isa 42:10,"Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them."
Note: There was a Chinese church; it used to start the Sunday service half an hour earlier with learning to sing hymns and songs not familiar to the congregation. It was joyful and the church was full. But the stupid pastor eliminated the singing service because she copied the American church model without such a singing service. Now the congregation sat one hour doing nothing but talking. New songs are newly composed. There are some denominations that use new songs in their services composed by people who are not filled with the Holy Spirit, but filled with the Hollywood style of music and entertainment. Those songs have no inspiration.
Rev 5:9,"And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
Rev 14:3,"And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth."
Note: The new is usually better than the old; thus everything is new in the Kingdom of glory,
"the New Jerusalem" (Rev 3:12; Rev 21:2);
the "new name" (Rev 2:17; Rev 3:12); - new name probably entails new honor and glory which we do not know now
"a new song" (Rev 5:9; Rev 14:3); - new song probably means song so wonderful we have never heard of
"a new heaven and new earth" (Rev 21:1; 2Pe 3:13);
"all things new" (Rev 21:5) - probably means all the new things we have never seen or imagined.
20. New and sharp sledge.
Isa 41:15,"See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff."
Note: New tools are better because they are sharp. The world already has weapons of mass destruction that destroy the world many times over. Western powers and the evil empire of Japan and terrorist states out of greed and lust for power are developing new weapons that can evaporate the world anytime soon and reduce cities to ashes.
21. New every morning.
Lam 3:23,"They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Note: The Lord's mercies are new every morning. Every morning when I get up I thank the Lord for living another day, another day to live for the Lord and to serve the Lord.
22. New things.
Isa 42:9,"See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you."
Isa 48:6, "You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you."
Note: The Bible prophecy talks about new things to take place in the world predicted by Jesus Christ some 2,000 years ago. See In the Last Days on my website.
Luk 21:7-11,"They questioned Him, saying: Teacher, when therefore will these things happen? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place? And He said: See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying: I am He, and, The time is near. Do not go after them. When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately. Then He continued by saying to them: Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in many places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven."
Note: Just mention one, earthquake is not new, but the frequency and intensity of earthquakes happening in recent years are something terribly new and in many places.
Probably these two evil things because they are so wicked like new things.
(1). In 1971 the United States violated international law and sovereignty of China by illegally giving administrative control of China's Diaoyu Islands to the unconditionally surrendered war crime nation of Japan. At first Obama said the U.S. took no position on the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands. Now Obama distorted the historical fact by saying the U.S. will defend Japan against China. American and Japanese leaders and rogue and rat nations of Philippines and Vietnam manufacture the biggest and blackest lie of China threat. They gang up on China and want to rob China's territories in the South China Sea and the East China Sea by all means and turn around broadcasting China threat theory. The robbed victim is the threat to the robber? The victim is the threat to the aggressors? Some quite evil new thing?
(2). The evil prime minister of Japan and his gangs all deny the historical facts of Japanese war crimes, genocide, sex slavery and unprecedented atrocities and refuse to pay war reparations and compensations to families of victims. More wickedly the demonic, diabolical and deceptive prime minister of Japan says something wickedly new that Japanese soldiers were fighting for peace during World War II that they created. Another something new is the way Japanese leaders and officials distort historical facts by saying Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan. However, these uncivilized and barbaric and primitive Japanese cannot answer the two simple questions"
If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why Japanese government had to pretentiously buy the islands?
If Diaoyu Islands really belong to Japan, why did Japanese government pretentiously nationalize the islands?
Never in the history of mankind that any nation bought and nationalized its own territories!
23. A new thing.
Isa 43:19,"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
Note: The Lord makes the desert bloom is a new thing.
Jer 31:22,"How long will you wander, O unfaithful daughter? The Lord will create a new thing on earth--a woman will protect a man."
Note: A woman protects a man is a new thing.
The most important new thing for every human being is the new birth.
1Pe 1:3,"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
Note: If you repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, God in His great mercy will give you a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. A birth brings a new life, born of the Spirit, the eternal life.
24. A new covenant.
Luk 22:20,"In the same way, after the supper He took the cup, saying: This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you."
1Cr 11:25,"In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying: This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
Note: The Greek word for covenant is diathēkē which means a compact, a testament, disposition, arrangement; - it occurs 33 times in the New Testament. The new covenant of Jesus Christ with His followers was made in His blood. By His blood Jesus redeemed all those who come and believe in Him as their Lord and Savior. Christians observe the Lord's Supper in remembrance of Jesus Christ who died for them. The New Covenant ushers in a new dispensation which is the dispensation of grace. Under the dispensation of grace, all who trust in Jesus Christ shall be saved.
2Cr 3:6,"He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
Hbr 8:8,"But God found fault with the people and said: The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah."
Hbr 8:13,"By calling this covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear."
Hbr 9:15,"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that He has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."
Hbr 12:24,"To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."
Note: The new covenant as compared with the Mosaic is better and more excellent because it was accomplished by blood of Jesus and confirmed by the power of the resurrection. To have a better understanding how the new covenant is better than the old covenant, the Epistle to the Hebrews is very helpful. Pay attention to the key word "better."
25. A new heart and a new spirit.
Eze 18:31,"Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel?"
Eze 11:19,"I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh."
Eze 36:26,"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
Note: Those who are given a new birth have a new heart and a new spirit in them. The Holy Spirit lives in the heart of believers.
26. New tomb.
Mat 27:60,"And placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away."
Jhn 19:41,"At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid."
Note: The new tomb may or may not be a tomb recently hewn from the rock, the point was it had never been used before; no dead had ever been laid there, completely clean. Joseph of Arimathea laid the body of the Lord in a new tomb. Joseph offered his best to the Lord.
27. New garment.
Luk 5:36,"He told them this parable: No one tears a patch from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old."
Note: A new garment is contrasted with one threadbare and outworn. The old and the new do not match and do not mix. The Chinese culture has a wrong idea: Wives are like garment, and brothers are like hand and feet. In Christian teaching, husband and wife become one flesh.
Mar 10:6-9,"But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
Christians are not allowed to have divorce except for infidelity. Your wife is not like a garment that you can change anytime you please or throw away when she grows old.
28. New treasures.
Mat 13:52,"He said to them: Therefore every teacher of the law who has been instructed about the Kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old."
Note: The Greek word for treasure is thēsauros which means precious things, collected valuables; - it occurs 18 times in the New Testament.
Luk 12:21, "So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Note: Wall Street and big firm executives, corrupt politicians and officials, crooked doctors and hospital owners and lawyers, etc. have accumulated unrighteous wealth and store up treasures for themselves, but they are not rich toward God. Their treasures will soon vanish.
Luk 12:34, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." People love the world because there is where their treasure is. Christians have treasure in heaven. If you are enlightened by the Holy Spirit in studying the Word of God, you will find new treasures as well as old; new light as well as old. The Word of God is the storehouse of treasured truths.
29. New teaching.
Mar 1:27,"The people were all so amazed that they asked each other: What is this? A new teaching--and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey him."
Act 17:19,"Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him: May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?"
Note: Although the darkened and unenlightened people used the term new teaching or new doctrine pejoratively as if they enjoyed hearing new stories; but the truth is even the evil spirits obeyed the orders of Jesus Christ. The word of Christ has power.
30. New birth.
1Pe 1:3,"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
Note: To have new birth is to have new life.
Act 5:20,"Go, stand in the temple courts, he said: and tell the people the full message of this new life."
Rom 6:4,"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
Note: Baptism symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When you go under water you are buried into His death; and when you come up you rise from the dead with the Lord.
31. New way of the Spirit.
Rom 7:6,"But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."
Note: The new way of the Spirit is the opposite of the old way of the flesh. Wall Street, Washington and Hollywood demonstrate the old way of the flesh enslaved by the love of money, power and lust.
32. New batch.
1Cr 5:7,"Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast--as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."
Note: Christians are a new batch without yeast because the Lamb of God has been sacrificed on the cross so that we are washed by the precious blood of Christ.
33. New creation.
2Cr 5:17,"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
Gal 6:15,"Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation."
Note: A new creation or a new creature is regenerated through Christ. New in terms the man has a new nature; mighty transformation has taken place, casting off the former conduct as the snake casting off its shriveled skin. Circumcision and baptism do not matter because they cannot save; what matters is to be born again by the Holy Spirit to have the eternal life in Christ. New life and new creation are interchangeable. The transformation of a believer is mighty because through the Holy Spirit a saint partakes the divine nature and walks in newness of life.
34. New man.
Eph 2:15-16,"By abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace; and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity."
Note: The Greek word for new is kainos which means of a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of; - it occurs 44 times in the New Testament. A new man in Christ, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, is novel, uncommon, and unprecedented, having a new nature and new way of life in contrast to the old man who walks after the flesh and loves the world.
35. New self.
Eph 4:23-24,"And that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth."
Col 3:10,"And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
Note: Once the spirit of your mind is renewed in the knowledge in the image of its Creator, you will put on the new self. The new self is created in the likeness of God, in righteousness and holiness of the truth. The image of God is characterized by righteousness, holiness, and truth. The new self will have the attitude. In Biblical terminology, new birth, new creation, new life, new man, new self – mean the same thing.
36. New command.
Jhn 13:34,"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
1Jo 2:7,"Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.
1Jo 2:8,"Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
2Jo 1:5,"And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another."
Note: For Christians to love one another is a new command. It is sad that the church is divided by many denominations. Many preachers compete for audience and money and vain glory.
37. New and living way.
Hbr 10:20,"By a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, His body."
Note: New in comparison with the Mosaic order, new in terms God had never bestowed on mankind before. Jesus is the new and living way to God.
38. New tongues.
Mar 16:17,"And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues."
Note: New in terms unlike those tongues that went before, tongues unwonted and different from any known before.
39. New heavens and a new earth.
Isa 65:17,"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind."
It is fantastic to think of new heavens (universe) and a new earth. It is also incredible to think how God will dispose the old universe and the old earth - beyond human imagination or comprehension.
Isa 66:22,"As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before Me, declares the LORD, so will your name and descendants endure."
2Pe 3:13,"But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness."
Rev 21:1-2,"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."
Note: A new heaven is contrasted with that which has grown old and shows signs of decay and dissolution. The old heavens and old earth will pass away.
40. A new name.
Isa 62:2,"The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow."
Rev 2:17,"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it."
Note:Those who overcome the Spirit will give some of the hidden manna, a white stone with a new name written on it – this is too wonderful to know now and we cannot speculate. The new name will be known only to him who receives it. We have no understanding what the significance of the new name and what honor to the receiver.
Dan 1:7,"The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego."
Note: What the names given to Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego have no comparison with the new name mentioned in Rev 2:17. In America when you want to change your name you have to go through the court. Actually new name may give you inconvenience, for example if your new name does not match the name of your birth certificate or on the academic degree you earned at college, etc. In America, when a woman married to a man, she automatically takes the last name of her husband and that is necessary. If you do not have the same last name, it may cause some problem if you claim relationship. In China, a woman maintains her own name when she is married to another man.
Rev 3:12,"Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the City of My God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from My God; and I will also write on him My new name."
Note: This Scripture tells about the name of God, the name of Jesus, and the name of the New Jerusalem, the City of God – we have no explanation how this is to be done by Lord Jesus to write on him who overcomes. We believe it has eternal glory and honor beyond human understanding.
All the good new things can be yours if you repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. As the new year 2017 arrives, your decision to follow Jesus would be a new start of your life. Jesus Christ is able to save you and give you a new life, the eternal life to inherit the Kingdom of God. Would you do it now?

Hope it helps some. Bob  DTP20 Argyll Notes Editado el 20/11/08 por bobcoss Target Patches Table For the dtp20 device, there is always a header row for the first page. You must subtract one row from the recommended number of rows for the first page. subsequent pages can have the full number of rows recommended by targgen.

Rapidly press the button 3 more times to enter calibration mode (solid yellow). 3. move the cover for the calibration patch 4. Press down on the activation button and hold.

d/c mcnulty&harmeyView Artwork
SeaPoint was a collaborative project between Dennis Mc Nulty and Cliona Harmey.
It was inspired by the Beaufort Scale which measures wind speed. This work was produced specifically for Variablemedia, a London (UK) based organisation which initiaties time/process based web projects involving internationally based artists. SeaPoint began on June 8, 2002 at the variablemedia.org site. With updates occurring daily, SeaPoint ran for a period of 28 days.
During each day of the project Harmey recorded a 10 second digital video sample of the Irish Sea from a fixed location on shore at Seapoint on the south Dublin coast. She processed the day's recorded images into a video animation file and allocated this file a number and description from the Beaufort Scale. The Beaufort Scale (for use at sea) measures wind speed by observing the visual effects of wind on water and allocates a number ranging from 0 for calm conditions to 12 for a hurricane. This measurement for the day's images, combined with various chance procedures, was applied to the concurrent audio recording in a resampling process devised by McNulty. These audio files were then recombined with the video animation as a short Flash film.
The Beaufort Scale (for use at sea) is an adaptation of an original scale devised in 1806 by Irish born Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort. The visual descriptions of the water, used by this adaptation, are highly poetic e.g. #1 Scale-like ripples, #2 Small, short wavelets with glassy crests. The existence of this process reflects an attempt to understand natural phenomena through classification. Through the interplay of recordings, written classifications and digital processes, SeaPoint evolved as an open-ended document.

|Sufficient Statistics for Welfare Analysis: A Bridge Between Structural and Reduced-Form Methods
|Chetty, Nadarajan
|Chetty, Raj. 2009. Sufficient statistics for welfare analysis: a bridge between structural and reduced-form methods. Annual Review of Economics 1:451-488.
|Full Text & Related Files:
suffstat_ar.pdf (390.8Kb; PDF)
|The debate between structural and reduced-form approaches has generated substantial controversy in applied economics. This article reviews a recent literature in public economics that combines the advantages of reduced-form strategies—transparent and credible identification—with an important advantage of structural models—the ability to make predictions about counterfactual outcomes and welfare. This literature has developed formulas for the welfare consequences of various policies that are functions of reduced-form elasticities rather than structural primitives. I present a general framework that shows how many policy questions can be answered by estimating a small set of sufficient statistics using program-evaluation methods. I use this framework to synthesize the modern literature on taxation, social insurance, and behavioral welfare economics. Finally, I discuss problems in macroeconomics, labor, development, and industrial organization that could be tackled using the sufficient statistic approach.

Baze made his choice, and Gryder is beneficiary
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Sunday's Grade 3 Bay Meadows Breeders' Cup Sprint will include a familiar sight - Harry Aleo's bright orange colors aboard a heavy favorite. Aleo, who has owned such popular horses as Lost in the Fog, Vicarino and Victorina, will run Smokey Stover in the Bay Meadows BC. But there will be one thing different. Instead of Aleo's regular rider, Russell Baze, Aaron Gryder will be in the irons on Sunday.
Baze, the regular rider of Lost in the Fog, had ridden Smokey Stover in four of his first eight starts, including in a 10-length allowance victory at Golden Gate on Jan. 7. But Gryder rode Smokey Stover to victory in the Sunshine Millions Sprint Jan. 27 at Santa Anita, and trainer Greg Gilchrist has given him the call back.
Baze could have ridden Smokey Stover in the Sprint, but he and agent Ray Harris chose instead to ride the undefeated 3-year-old Another Kris for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer in the Sunshine Millions Dash at Gulfstream.
Baze was also supposed to ride Secret Scheme that day at Gulfstream, but Hollendorfer decided to run her the next day in the Grade 1 Santa Monica at Santa Anita where she finished third.
"Russell had to make a choice whether to ride Smokey Stover or Jerry's horse," Gilchrist said of Sunshine Millions Day. "My only leverage was if the horse ran well, that rider would be given the chance to ride him back."
Smokey Stover defeated two of the best sprinters in the country, Proud Tower Too and Bordonaro, in the Sprint, and earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 113, the top sprint figure in the country this year.
"The horse ran the best race of his life and is now ranked the top sprinter in the country," Gilchrist said. "I gave Gryder the choice of riding him [on Sunday]. If Gryder didn't ride, I would have been very happy with Russell."
Baze worked Smokey Stover on Saturday, which, Gilchrist said, "shows real class." Smokey Stover went five furlongs in 58.40.
"He told me to have some fun with him, and I did," said Baze, who is still looking for a mount in the race.
Gilchrist ran Smokey Stover twice in a 20-day period when he won the Sunshine Millions, and he has given him six weeks between races this time.
"I trained him a little lighter into the race, but timing-wise, it's good," he said. "I wanted to stay at home, so giving him six weeks and not having to ship is perfect."
Only Trickey Trevor, a Grade 2 winner last year, is firmly committed to take on Smokey Stover in the $100,000 Bay Meadows BC, to be run at six furlongs. He ran third in the Fairfax at Golden Gate on Feb. 3, his first race since last August.
Smokey Stover was assigned 123 pounds for the race, which Gilchrist thought was fair. Trickey Trevor gets in at 115. Britt's Jules, who finished second ahead of Trickey Trevor in the Fairfax, is likely to run at 114.
Three Southern California runners are considered possible, Areyoutalkintome, Bashert, and Turnbolt.
Hollendorfer has 3 for El Camino Real
Hollendorfer is planning to enter three runners in Saturday's Grade 3, $200,000 El Camino Real Derby, a 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds. They are California Derby winner Bwana Bull; Brave Sun, who has won three straight since being claimed by Hollendorfer; and Candy's Bro, who pressed stablemate Double Action's pace before fading in the California Derby.
Zoning In, who won the Malcolm Anderson here last year and comes off an allowance victory, will run for trainer Ed Moger Jr. Trainer Armando Lage said recent maiden-claiming winner Coalinga Kid might start, but only on an off track. The John Sadler-trained Court the King, who has won both of his starts, will come north for the race with jockey Jose Valdivia Jr. Freesgood, stablemate of Fountain of Youth runner-up Stormello and winner of the Cal Cup Juvenile, is considered "probable" by trainer William Currin.
Also possible are In the Woods, a Bobby Frankel trainee who lost by a nose in his recent debut at Santa Anita, and the stakes-placed Street Lights, who is trained by Carla Gaines.
Probation for trainer
The California Horse Racing Board placed trainer Brian Pitnick on probation for a year after his horse Theycallme Mr. Tim, who finished fourth in the 10th race Aug. 20, 2006, at the San Mateo County Fair, tested in excess of the limit for carbon dioxide. Pitnick also was fined $3,000, but the fine will be stayed if Pitnick has no medication violations during his probation.
Trainers Steve Miyadi and Manuel Calvario were both fined $300 for late scratches. The Miyadi-trained Set the Course was scratched March 1 for failure to have sufficient workouts. The Calvario-trained Corporateconnection was scratched Feb. 25 in a receiving barn mixup.
Jockey Angel Felix will serve a three-day suspension this week after causing interference in the stretch with Brat Cat in the first race Feb. 25.
* Bay Meadowss decision to cut back to four days of racing for the next two weeks paid early dividends when 68 runners were entered on Thursdays eight-race card. Only 52 runners were entered for nine races Sunday.
* Former jockey and trainer Roy Yaka, 75, died after a long illness in late February. Yaka was a perennial top 10 rider in northern California in the 60s and 70s and trained horses after his retirement.
