Day 295: Israel's Expectations - The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2024
- 📖 Follow along with the official Bible in a Year Reading Plan: tinyurl.com/yd...
Fr. Mike mirrors the story of 1 Maccabees and Israel’s expectations of continued success onto our own lives, emphasizing that God’s marvelous plan exceeds our expectations and what we think should happen next in our lives. He invites us to worship and give to the Lord with freedom and generosity in response to God’s sacrificial love for us. Today’s readings are 1 Maccabees 14, Sirach 34-35, and Proverbs 23:22-25.
We hear every day from our community how The Bible in a Year helps to capture hearts and souls for Christ. While we’re happy to make it free to our audience, it’s not free to create! It takes a significant investment to produce the podcast and distribute it free-of-cost to the public. You can make a gift of financial support to help defray these costs and enable us to keep bringing evangelizing digital media to all those searching for God: tinyurl.com/yj... Thank you for your support.

I love God, it was the first day of college for my little brother. He said it was excellent.
Prayers for healing for me. God s work has been done via the show.
Father I used to pray 4, 5, 6 hrs daily before cz I wanted our Lord to be happy n bless my son. I was bribing him like you said. Today even when I'm free n finish all my work n normal prayers I want to pray more. Today I pray for my son. But I also know I want to just have Jesus in our lives ..thank you for all your explanations daily. And we are praying for you Father just as you are praying for us.
I think most of us pray with an ulterior motive in mind. If I pray, God will grant it. This is not true. God knows what we need even before we ask and pray. However it is always His will and His way. Peace!
God bless you Father Mike and all BIAY family and all who make this podcasts possible! Amen!
Amen!!🤩🙏❤

You talking about being under the vine, fig tree, and not being afraid reminds me of John 15:5 New International Version. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Oh Mr Bible, had I got to know you more seriously sooner 😢😭♥️🏃🏻♀️😭🏃🏻♀️♥️🏃🏻♀️😭🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️♥️😭😬🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️😭😬

Lord, let us love your Word you've given to us for 295 days and put it into practice. Let us pray for those who we said we'd pray for and let us never forget the holy souls in Purgatory, they need our prayers. 10/12/2022
You give to Jesus who is Almighty God,everything regardless of what comes back or doesn’t come back. You give and give and give full stop! No bargaining though always be honest because Jesus already knows.

Round Two
Have you ever considered listening to Saint Faustina’s Diary in a year and/or EWTN Mother Angelica’s Classics to add to your Catholic learning?
Oh my goodness so much life guidance in conjunction with Father Mike’s Bible and Catechism in a Year!
Proverbs 23
The Thirty Wise Sayings
-16-
22 - Listen to your father;
without him you would not exist. When your mother is old, show her your appreciation.
23 - Truth, wisdom, learning, and good sense --- these are worth paying for, but too valuable for you to sell.
24 - A righteous person's parents have good reason to be happy. You
can take pride in a wise
child.
25 - Let your father and mother be proud of you;
give your mother that happiness.

It just keeps getting better 😃
Thanks
Thank you Father
Amen God bless you 🙏❤️
🙏🙏🙏 trust, surrender, & love
Did you know, your favorite quote about "sitting under the fig tree" is also in Micah 4:4 and that is probably where G. Washington got if from, but not sure if Maccabees were still being used by the American "Church of England"..ie..Episcopal Church at that time.
I don't understand about 'sitting under the fig tree'. Can you explain ....thank you.
@@susanshaw8272 The reference to sitting under the fig tree means peace and security through obedience to God where you can rest and not be afraid.
Day 295 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Wait on the Lord….choose not Your own way…My God HELP!
“And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me,”

Fr. Mike I left a comment on your video regarding the Sabbath but it is germane to this video as well so I will copy my comment here as well as it is germane to what Jews expected in the Messianic Age. Jews believe that in the Olam Haba, that the day of worship on Sunday. This is evident in the Mishna, Pirkei Avot 4, and in the commentaries. Rabbi Yaakov ben Kurshai, the teacher of Yudah haNassi explains this.
The Sabbath is the vestibule through which one enters into the Olam Haba - the Messianic age. In the banquet room of the Olam Haba, the Lord Himself would lay out the banquet. The Jews believed that the sacrifice in the Olam Haba would be a bloodless thanksgiving sacrifice. The word used by the Hellenic Jews was Eucharist. As the commentaries explain, one must repent of their sins before eating at the banquet feast of the Olam Haba. However, unlike the sacrifice of the lachem hapanim (bread of the presence of G-d) and wine before the Kodesh Hakodashim in the temple which was eaten by priests alone, this thanksgiving sacrifice was to be eaten by all.
The Sabbath itself was understood to be a preparation for the Olam Haba which was to come. It is due to this understanding that the early Catholic Jews referred to Sunday as the Eighth day as the Seventh Day was a preparation of the Eighth day.
The 174th year-started from when and who decided when was year 1?
🙏🙏🙏👍
I am having a hard time with this part we are doing - maccabees keeping track of who is who and with no (pointing to spiritual significance) - and then Siriah seems like an overdose of proverbs. I will keep trucking but not much is grabbing me….

Warrior and King is the Hebrew Idea of the Messiah. The Hebrews wanted a King instead of a Prophet and Judge as Samuel was.
What tribe are the Maccabees from. The line of Levi since they were made priests?

Round Two
Will you please take a moment and pray with me?
According to tradition, St. Gertrude the Great was told by Our Lord that each time she piously recited the following prayer, it would release 1,000 souls (or a vast number) from their suffering in purgatory:
Eternal Father,
I offer You the most precious blood
of thy Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today,
for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the universal Church,
for those in my own home,
and in my family. Amen.
In her account of another vision, St. Faustina describes Purgatory as a "great crowd of suffering souls" undergoing purification. Further, she says that the souls are "praying fervently, but to no avail, for themselves; only we can come to their aid" (Diary, 20)
God the Son became man to die for us. Jesus IS Almighty God. Jesus IS Allah. Jesus IS YWYH.
Jesus is not, never has been, and never will be Allah. NO!
God help Ssi get my income right 💯🙏💯🙏🙏💯🙏☘️🌹
Timothy say’s ALL scripture is INSPIRED. Timothy was talking about the Old Testament 46 book’s NOT 39. It was Luther who satanically threw out of sacred scripture 7 INSPIRED book’s what evil. He threw out Maccabees because it talked about praying for dead Jewish soldier’s ie Purgatory. God bless.
Brideing God sounds like a bad idea.
