• Day 2: Beginnings and Betrayals: Eden's Fall and Herod's Fear
    Jan 2 2024

    In Genesis 2:18-4:1-16, God creates Eve as a companion for Adam. They live in the Garden of Eden, where they disobey God's command by eating from the Tree of Knowledge, influenced by a serpent. This act leads to their punishment and expulsion from Eden. The narrative continues with their sons, Cain and Abel. Cain, jealous of God favoring Abel's offering, kills Abel. God punishes Cain to wander the earth, but also marks him for protection against revenge. This passage highlights themes of disobedience, consequences, and divine justice in early Biblical history. In Matthew 2:1-18, wise men or Magi from the East follow a star to Bethlehem to worship the newborn Jesus, presenting him with gifts. King Herod, feeling threatened by the birth of a new 'king,' instructs the Magi to report back to him. Instead, after their visit, they are divinely instructed to avoid Herod, and Joseph is warned to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt for safety. Herod's response to this perceived betrayal is the massacre of male infants in Bethlehem, an event prophesied as a time of great mourning. After Herod's death, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus return, settling in Nazareth, which fulfills another prophecy about Jesus.

  • Day 1: Creation and Promise: From the World's Dawn to Bethlehem's Star
    Jan 1 2024

    God creates the heavens and the earth in six days, forming light, sky, land, seas, plants, stars, animals, and finally humans in His image. On the seventh day, He rests, blessing and sanctifying it. God places Adam in the Garden of Eden, allowing him to eat from any tree except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Will Adam and Eve obey God's command and live in paradise forever?

    Matthew traces the genealogy of Jesus Christ, starting from Abraham and highlighting key figures like David and Solomon. The chapter then recounts the miraculous birth of Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the Virgin Mary, fulfilling ancient prophecies. Joseph, initially troubled, is reassured by an angel and obediently takes Mary as his wife. Will this divine child's birth truly change the course of history?

  • Day 364 | Dedication of the Wall in Jerusalem | Revelation 21: The New Jerusalem
    Dec 30 2023

    Day 364 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

    Nehemiah 11:22-12:47 tells about the leaders and families who lived in Jerusalem and nearby villages after the city's walls were rebuilt. It lists priests and Levites who were in charge of worship in the temple, including singing, playing instruments, and keeping things organized. This part of the Bible shows the importance of community and worship, and how everyone has a special role in serving God and each other.

  • Day 363 | Nehemiah: People move to Jerusalem | Revelation 20: Satan is defeated
    Dec 29 2023

    Day 363 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

    In Nehemiah 9:38-11:21, the Israelites make a big promise to God after realizing they haven't been following His ways. They agree to follow God's rules, like keeping the Sabbath day holy and not marrying people who don't worship God. Then, lots of people volunteer to live in Jerusalem, the main city, to help rebuild and protect it. It's about the community coming together, making a commitment to God, and working hard to make their city strong and faithful.

    In Revelation 20, John talks about some big events at the end of time. First, Satan is captured for 1,000 years while Jesus reigns with His followers. After that, Satan is freed but then defeated for good. Next, there's a big judgment where everyone, living and dead, is judged by God. It's about the final defeat of evil and God's ultimate judgment, showing that good wins in the end.

  • Day 362 | Nehemiah: the people pray | Revelation 19: Christ on a white horse
    Dec 29 2024

    Day 362 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

    Nehemiah 9:1-37 is about the Israelites coming together to confess their sins and remember their history. They fast, wear special clothes, and separate themselves from non-Israelites. They stand and read from the Book of the Law of the Lord, their God, for a quarter of the day, and for another quarter, they confess and worship the Lord. They also remember how God helped their ancestors, from Abraham to their escape from Egypt and journey through the wilderness, despite their ancestors often disobeying God. This passage shows the importance of remembering history, confessing sins, and God's continuous love and guidance. In Revelation 19:11-21, John describes a vision of Jesus returning as a mighty warrior on a white horse, called Faithful and True. He comes to judge and fight with justice. His eyes are like fire, and he wears many crowns, with a name written that only he knows. He wears a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven follow him, also on white horses and dressed in fine linen. An angel invites birds to feast on the enemies of God. Jesus defeats the beast and the false prophet, who are thrown into a fiery lake. This passage symbolizes Jesus' final victory over evil.

  • Day 361 | Nehemiah reads God's Word to the people | Revelation 19: People in Heaven rejoice
    Dec 28 2024

    Day 361 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

    Nehemiah 7:4 to chapter 8 tells about rebuilding Jerusalem's walls and the people rediscovering God's laws. Nehemiah finds that the city is big but with few people. He organizes a census to identify the residents. Then, in chapter 8, Ezra the priest reads God's laws to the people. They listen attentively, and many feel sad because they haven't been following these laws. Nehemiah and Ezra encourage them to be joyful because understanding God’s words is a reason to celebrate. This story highlights the importance of knowing and following God's teachings.

    Revelation 18:17 to 19:1-10 describes the fall of a great city, symbolizing evil, and the joy in heaven over its defeat. In 18:17-24, it tells about the city's sudden destruction and how the world mourns its loss, symbolizing the end of evil systems. Then in chapter 19, there's a shift to heaven, where there's great rejoicing. A large crowd in heaven praises God for judging evil and for the coming marriage of the Lamb, representing Jesus, to His people. This part of Revelation shows the contrast between the sadness over the fall of evil and the joy in heaven for God's justice and the celebration of good defeating evil.

  • Day 360 | Nehemiah helps the poor | Revelation 18: Destruction of Babylon
    Dec 27 2024

    Audio Bible Day 360 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

    In Nehemiah 5, Nehemiah sees the poor being treated unfairly and helps them by asking the rich to be kind and not overcharge. In Nehemiah 6, people try to scare Nehemiah to stop him from rebuilding Jerusalem's wall. He stays brave, doesn't give in to fear, and finishes the wall. Nehemiah 7:1-3 talks about Nehemiah setting up guards for the city and giving instructions on how to keep the city safe. This teaches us to be fair, brave, and responsible in taking care of what we have worked hard to build.

    In Revelation 18:1-17, it talks about the fall of a big, rich city called Babylon. An angel announces that Babylon has fallen because it was bad and made others do bad things too. The city was very rich and powerful, but now it's empty and sad. People who did business with Babylon are upset because they can't make money from it anymore. This part of the Bible reminds us that doing wrong things can lead to bad consequences, and that wealth and power don't last forever if they are used in the wrong way.
