📖 Biblepassage of the Day 🍁 🤲🏽 ☘️
Sunday – March 15, 2026 🖋

²⁴ "And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
²⁵ In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; ²⁶ And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."
~ 2 Timothy 2:24-26 | KJB

This short Biblepassage, these three verses actually, provide instructions on how a servant of the Lord our God should act. These verses emphasize gentle correction over argumentative fighting, with the ultimate goal of leading people to truth and repentance. Let these verses remind you today – and tomorrow – to keep a calm, sound and patient mind filled with kindness and meekness. May you find (the) peace of the Lord and with the Lord on your walk with Him today, because in times of turmoil and chaos, we may also know our moments of peace where fellowship is guided by love for God firstly and then love for each other that follows our love of God...

Have a blessed day 🙏🏽🕊

Bible Verses about Aliens -
Extraterrestrial Life or Demonic Spirits ?

What does the Bible say about aliens ?

The Bible reveals that there is extraterrestrial life

But not as many suppose

Although the Bible does not speak of aliens who live on faraway planets

It does speak of...

"cosmic powers over this present darkness...spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places"

( ~ Ephesians 6:12 )

Could the UFO and Alien phenomenon people perceive today...

Actually be wicked spiritual forces to undermine our belief in God ?

There are a lot of unknowns in the universe out there

Space is vast

And we cannot explore everything out there

There have been movies made about:

* Astronauts
* Sci-fi themes
* Aliens

As believers...

It is important to understand what we believe about extraterrestrial beings


Here is a list of Bible verses about themes relating to aliens below:

~ Genesis 6
When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,

the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal ; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.

So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.

Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.

God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long,
fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.

I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.

But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.

Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.

You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”

Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

~ Ezekiel 1
In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin—

the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. There the hand of the LORD was on him.

I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal,

and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human,

but each of them had four faces and four wings.

Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.

Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings,

and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.

Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.

Such were their faces. They each had two wings spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body.

Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.

The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.

As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.

This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel.

As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went.

Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.

Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked something like a vault, sparkling like crystal, and awesome.

Under the vault their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body.

When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings.

Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.

I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.

Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

~ Ezekiel 1

Reveals God’s mobile glory amidst human suffering

Assuring exiled believers that He is not limited by location

Ezekiel sees a powerful, sovereign God on a throne above chaotic, complex living creatures

This vision calls us to worship in awe

Trusting that

God Reigns
Sees All

AND IS WITH US !

 
Reflection:

Ezekiel was in exile

Surrounded by the ruins of his nation...

Yet God gave him a vision not of destruction...

But of absolute sovereignty

The wheels in his vision were covered in eyes

Symbolizing that God sees all

And the creatures moved at the speed of lightning

Showing His power is not restricted by distance or geography

Often...

We feel like our peace is in exile

Trapped by...

Circumstances
Anxiety
& Bad news

~ Ezekiel 1 teaches us that God’s presence IS NOT CONFINED to a "temple"

Or a perfect situation

He is the God of the storm

The throne is not static...

It is mobile

God brings His presence to the difficult, desolate places

OF OUR LIVES


Acknowledge God’s Sovereign Control: 

When life feels out of control...

Remind yourself that God is on the throne

Not just in heaven

But over your specific circumstances


Worship Over Worry: 

Ezekiel’s response to seeing the glory of God was to fall facedown in worship

Instead of worrying...

Take time to reflect on God’s power and majesty to shift your focus from your problems to His presence



Prayer...


Lord,

Thank You that You are not limited by my circumstances

Thank You that even when I feel far away or overwhelmed...

Your throne is near

I worship You for Your omnipresence and omnipotence

Help me to trust that You are working

Even when I cannot see it

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

🙏

Ezekiel | The Heavenly Vision of the Living Creatures (4K Cinematic Bible Experience)
The ground was still. The river was silent.

This 4K cinematic Bible experience brings to life one of the most
mysterious and terrifying visions in all of Scripture when a prophet
in exile looked up... and the heavens split open.

Ezekiel is not in the temple. He is not in Jerusalem.
He is a captive, by the waters of Babylon.
And yet the vision does not wait for holy ground.

A storm approaches from the north. Fire unfolds within itself.
And from the heart of the storm emerge four living creatures each with four faces, four wings, burning like torches.

Beside them: wheels. Not ordinary wheels.
Wheels within wheels, full of eyes, moving without turning.

Above them a crystal expanse. A throne of sapphire.
And upon the throne... the likeness of a man,
blazing with fire and wrapped in a rainbow of glory.

Ezekiel does not stand to worship.
He falls on his face.

Because this is not a dream. This...

To close this day with, for all of our brothers and sisters in the timezone of the Americas...

May its words bless you 🙏🏽🕊

Broeders en zusters,

Ik kwam deze uitspraak tegen:

"The most dangerous trap is just living and forgetting that God exists."
De gevaarlijkste val is simpelweg leven… en vergeten dat God bestaat.

Is dit niet precies wat we vandaag om ons heen zien?

Velen van ons zijn vanaf jongs af aan opgegroeid met het Evangelie.
We zaten op een christelijke school, hoorden Gods Woord, wisten van de Heere Jezus.

Maar dan komt het leven.

Iedereen vliegt uit, krijgt werk, een gezin, plannen, zorgen.
En langzaam maar zeker raakt God naar de achtergrond.

Niet altijd uit opstand…
maar simpelweg omdat deze wereld ons opslokt.

En zo raken velen het pad kwijt.

Het doet mij denken aan het verhaal van de Heere Jezus die tien melaatsen genas.

Tien mensen werden genezen.
Maar er kwam er maar één terug om Hem te danken.

(Lukas 17:15-18)

Zo is het vandaag nog steeds.
God geeft ons leven, adem en zegeningen, maar hoeveel mensen keren werkelijk terug naar Hem?

Laten wij daarom waken dat wij niet in deze val lopen:
gewoon leven… en vergeten dat God bestaat.


Groet, Richard
