“Meanwhile Saul, still drawing his breath hard from threatening and murderous desire against the disciples of The LORD, went to the high priest and requested of him letters to the synagogues at Damascus [authorizing him], so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way [of life as determined by faith in Jesus Christ], he might bring them bound [with chains] to Jerusalem.
Now as he traveled on, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him, he fell to the ground. Then he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me [harassing, troubling, and molesting Me]?”
Saul said, Who are You, Lord? He said, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is dangerous and it will turn out badly for you to keep kicking against the goad [to offer vain and perilous resistance].”
Trembling and astonished he asked, Lord, what do You desire me to do? The LORD said to him, “But arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
The men who were accompanying him were unable to speak [for terror], hearing the voice but seeing no one.
Then Saul got up from the ground, but though his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. He was unable to see for three days, and he neither ate nor drank [anything].” Acts 9:1-9.

“So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, Are you he who troubles Israel?
Elijah replied, I have not troubled Israel, but you have, and your father’s house, by forsaking the commandments of The LORD and by following the Baals.
Therefore send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, and the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of [the goddess] Asherah, who eat at [Queen] Jezebel’s table. So Ahab sent to all the Israelites and assembled the prophets at Mount Carmel.
Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you halt and limp between two opinions? If The LORD is God, follow Him! But if Baal, then follow him. The people did not answer him a word.
Then Elijah said to the people, I, I only, remain a prophet of The LORD, but Baal’s prophets are 450 men.
Let two bulls be given us; let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood but put no fire to it. I will dress the other bull, lay it on the wood, and put no fire to it.
Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of The LORD; and the One Who answers by fire, let Him be God. All the people answered, It is well spoken.
Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bull for yourselves and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.
So they took the bull given them, dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, hear and answer us! But there was no voice; no one answered. They leaped upon or limped about the altar they had made.
At noon Elijah mocked them, saying, Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.
They cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with knives and lances until the blood gushed out upon them.
Midday passed, and they played the part of prophets until the time for offering the evening sacrifice, but there was no voice, no answer, no one who paid attention.
Then Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. All the people came near him. He repaired the [old] altar of The LORD that had been broken down [by Jezebel].
Then Elijah took 12 stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of The LORD came, saying, Israel shall be your name. With the stones Elijah built an altar in the name [and self-revelation] of The LORD. He made a trench about the altar as great as would contain two measure measures of seed.
He put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood and said, Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and the wood.
He said, Do it the second time. They did it the second time. He said, Do it the third time . They did it the third time.
The water ran round about the altar, and he filled the trench also with water.
At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and that I have done all these things at Your word.
Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You, The LORD, are God, and have turned their hearts back [to You].
Then the fire of The LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice and the wood and the stones and the dust, and also licked up the water that was in the trench.
When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and they said, The LORD, He is God! The LORD, He is God!
Elijah said, Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one escape. They seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and [as God’s law required] slew them there.
Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. He went up and looked and said, There is nothing. Elijah said, Go again seven times.
And at the seventh time the servant said, A cloud as small as a man’s hand is arising out of the sea. Elijah said, Go up, say to Ahab, Hitch your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.
In a little while, the heavens were black with wind-swept clouds, and there was a great rain. Ahab went to Jezreel.” 1 Kings 18:16-45.

“Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so [must it be]. Amen (so be it).
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says The LORD God, “He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).“” Revelation 1:7-8.

“When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last, The Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).” Revelation 1:17-18.

“I [also] saw the dead, great and small; they stood before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life. The dead were judged (sentenced) by what they had done [their whole way of feeling and acting, their aims and endeavors] in accordance with what was recorded in the books.
The sea delivered up the dead who were in it, death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) surrendered the dead in them, and all were tried and their cases determined by what they had done [according to their motives, aims, and works].
Then death and Hades (the state of death or disembodied existence) were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:12-14.

“Just as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life [makes them live on], even so the Son also gives life to whomever He wills and is pleased to give it.
Even the Father judges no one, for He has given all judgment (the last judgment and the whole business of judging) entirely into the hands of the Son, so that all men may give honor (reverence, homage) to the Son just as they give honor to the Father. [In fact] whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, Who has sent Him.
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. He does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life.” John 5:21-24.

“When this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory.
O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
Now sin is the sting of death, and sin exercises its power [the abuse of] the Law.
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:54- 57.

“Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death—that is, the devil —” Hebrews 2:14.

“His winnowing fan (shovel, fork) is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out and clean His threshing floor and gather and store His wheat in His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with fire that cannot be put out.” Matthew 3:12.

“Another parable He set forth before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way. So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also.
The servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it?
He replied to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out?
But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat (weeds resembling wheat), you root up the [true] wheat along with it. Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary.”“ Matthew 13:24- 30.

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory (His majesty and splendor), and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.
All nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them [the people] from one another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats; He will cause the sheep to stand at His right hand, but the goats at His left.
Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation], inherit (receive as your own) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you brought Me together with yourselves and welcomed and entertained and lodged me.
I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me with help and ministering care, I was in prison and you came to see Me.
Then the just and upright will answer Him, Lord, when did we see You hungry and gave You food, or thirsty and gave You something to drink?
When did we see You a stranger and welcomed and entertained You, or naked and clothed You?
When did we see You sick or in prison and came to visit You?
The King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me.
Then He will say to those at His left hand, Begone from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!
For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome Me and entertain Me, I was with help and ministering care.
Then they also [in their turn] will answer, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?
He will reply to them, Solemnly I declare to you, in so far as you failed to do it for the least [in the estimation of men] of these, you failed to do it for Me.
Then they will go away into eternal punishment, but those who are just and upright and in right standing with God into eternal life.” Matthew 25:31- 46.

“From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).” Revelation 19:15.

“You shall [earnestly] remember all the way which The LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and to prove you, to know what was in your [mind and] heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
He humbled you and allowed you to hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you recognize and personally know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of The LORD. Your clothing did not become old upon you nor did your feet swell these forty years.” Deuteronomy 8:2-4.

“You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, and withheld not Your manna from them, and gave water for their thirst.
Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.
Also You gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner. So they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and the land of Og king of Bashan.
Their children You also multiplied as the stars of heaven and brought them into the land which You told their fathers they should go in and possess.
So the descendants went in and possessed the land; and You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. They captured fortified cities and a rich land and took possession of houses full of all good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, olive orchards, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled and became fat and delighted themselves in Your great goodness.” Nehemiah 9:20-25.
