Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Peter 1:20,21
And beginning at Moses and with all the prophets he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke 24:27
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Luke 24:44
He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.
The Lord lifts up the humble;
He casts the wicked down to the ground.
Psalm 147:4-6
Sheep
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:11
And Jesus, when He came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things.
Mark 6:34
I have gone astray like a lost sheep;
Seek Your servant,
For I do not forget Your commandments.
Psalm 119:176
(to the murmuring Pharisees and scribes as Jesus sat with sinners and publicans to eat)
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luke 15:4-7
Verses of Solace:
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto the living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 7:16-17
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mark 10:27
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
Psalm 42:1
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
Other Verses:
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
Psalm 38:18
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John 2:9
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua 22:5
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Note: Because He knew what would happen before it would happen. He knew of those that were spiritually dead and would never choose Him…
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Note: He already knew what their actions would be and that they would not repent, and that they would have no desire to be apart of the Kingdom of Heaven… Because they can’t give up their sinful ways, and follow His ways….
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Note: Even though He knows their outcome, He still gives them numerous chances to repent. They are not hearing His words though. They don’t understand prophecy.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Note: These people are self-righteous, they think that just because they are religious, they are good people. Their hearts are haughty. They don’t realize that the very fact that they try to follow the law, proves they are naturally sinful. They aren’t even aware that they are sinning, like all of us have experienced at some point. But they don’t believe they are fallen, or that they can fall again.
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Note: Every human has committed sin, therefore we are all servants of sin. Jesus came to show us the true way so that we can die in HIM, instead of in our sins. The fact that we forgive through Him, the fact that we put right our wrongs, is all because of HIM. If we never forgave people, or put right our wrongs, we would die in our sins too. People do this today all the time. Because of actions like this, oats then sow on in people’s lives forever. But because we have Jesus, we can make amends and stop the bad oats we sow before they grow out of hand. Nonetheless, unlike sheep who have simply gone astray, wolves never repent, and their fruits go unchecked forever into the lives of thousands because they never accepted Christ into their hearts. Those who have died from suicide but died this way believing in Jesus and put right all their wrongs before killing themselves, have no reason not to be apart of heaven. The fact that they died is the fruits of wolves. Therefore the pain and suffering caused by this person killing themselves is not caused by that person, but by the wolves that were attacking that person. The wolves will be able to be traced back through generations.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Note: He already knew they would kill Him for simply living his life the way He lived it: full of love and truth.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Note: Their father is the devil because they serve him.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
Note: Jesus was speaking of true death here. Death everlasting. Not the death as we know of it now, which is simply a state of sleeping.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Note: Jesus knew of the future because of the Father. He knew of the day when Abraham will be awakened and Jesus will come again. Abraham himself will see this day. He will never see death because for him it will be as if no time has passed at all. He followed righteousness by forgiving others for their sins against him, and by righting any wrongs he did unto others. Therefore he will reap eternal life.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

another bonus bible study
John 15
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Note: Think of fruit in this world. It tastes good, it serves a purpose: to nourish your body. If you are bearing fruit that does not taste good, you are not bearing fruit at all. It is disease that is spread if you are not bearing fruit of the Lord. If you are bearing fruit, He will continue to work in you so that you can do even greater works each and every day for others.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Note: This is a verse dear to my heart, due to my testimony. For anyone who has somehow happened upon this site, who struggles with self-injury or depression or any mental illness that makes them feel "dirty" or "unclean", I tell you now, if you remain in Jesus Christ, you are already clean in His eyes. It is possible to have Jesus Christ in your life and not yet believe in Him, for He chases down His sheep until He finds them. He knows what has caused this disease in your life (sin), and sadly, it is something that will never go away entirely. At least, not until the end of this world, when you can be given a new body and be recreated through Him. But He can give you strength, and if you understand the words and songs of this site, He can give you peace. There are more resources now than ever before. Pray that you will be guided toward good counselors and therapists, for God can work through these people to help you. He can also give you friends who struggle with the same type of problems, who will be there for you because they understand what it is like. If you relapse (in whatever it be, self-injury, drugs, alcohol, etc.), do not be ashamed. You are strong for making it as far as you have. Analyze your life. Analyze those in your life who have hurt you or made you feel worthless. Analyze the songs you listen to, for humans cry out through songs, without even being aware of it. You are more than their opinions of you. You are more than whatever it was that they did to hurt you. You are precious in the sight of God. Forgive them, just as God would forgive you. If you do not know how to forgive, ask Jesus to give you the strength to do so. Do not hold on to people more than God. If you are holding on to a person more than God, ask God to give you the strength to give that person up. He will help you to be free from attachments to humans. You must trust in Him that everything will be right in the end. If some people are not in heaven, you must trust that they did not want to be apart of it.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Note: Asking Jesus in is a must. Asking Him in is key. We in and of ourselves cannot forgive without Him.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Note: This is how it will be in the end of this world. Those whose actions have caused the deaths of so many people, the pain and suffering of so many lives, will be destroyed, for they destroyed the Earth without repentance. Some may decide to repent in those final hours, but of course there will be those who do not, because even though they see and acknowledge the truth, they will want no part of the divine love that is with Jesus Christ. They will only want their own selfish plans and desires, even if it hurts others. Eternal life in heaven with Him and with His children, to them, would be more tortuous than everlasting death. They would rather die than have eternal life with Him.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Note: Remember, though, that we can love and forgive, and still have no part in the life of the person who once hurt us. You do not need to help save them, for that is Jesus' job. If you have tried and they continue to hurt you and hurt others, let them be. For hurting yourself more does no one any good.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Note: God hates to see all of the mental health issues in the world, because He knows what has caused it. What has caused it are those who refuse to follow His law of perfect love. Yet He still loves those people, because He knows that the reason they refuse is because of what Satan has sowed in this world. The people who have hurt you are not without hurt themselves. They have had oats sown in their life, just as you have. The difference for wolves, is that they have rejected Christ, and have hardened their hearts against his law of love. They have allowed the bitterness of this world to poison their hearts and kill them, spiritually. That is why He will give one final chance to everyone to see the Truth. His patience is truly enduring. The dandelion is a symbol of this.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Note: So many Christian religions are corrupt today. Do not feel the need to conform to any particular one. Follow the Bible, and follow prophecy, and you will be on the right path. You can be baptized into a church that you feel displays the love of Jesus Christ the most. Pick one where you feel the most comfortable, based on the truth that you know. This will make it harder than ever to fit in to the world, for every church has their flaws, but that is what it was like for Him, too. Even though it is hard, He gives you peace, because knowing the truth is greater than any humans or any religion.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Note: Always pray for understanding from the Holy Spirit before reading scripture, and before preaching.
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
