Study on the Epistle of Jude by Jesse C Jones

This epistle (letter) was written by Judas (Jude), the brother of Jesus, Joses, Simon, and James who wrote the Book of James (see Matthew 13:55). It was after the resurrection that the brethren of our Lord acknowledged His Messiahship, and it may be Jude’s chagrin over his delayed recognition that caused him to make no mention of his relationship to Jesus in this epistle. Jude was not an apostle, and, in fact, seems to identify himself apart from the apostles in verses 17 and 18, where he refers to the “words spoken before by the apostles,” and identifies them as “they.” The exact date of this epistle is not known, although it was thought to have been written no earlier than 64 AD, and not later than 67 or 68 AD.

A Study on the Book of Hebrews by Jesse C Jones

The Epistle to the Hebrews deals primarily with the Levitical order: the priesthood, sacrifice, and the tabernacle. The Jewish people tended to forsake Jesus Christ and hold to the OT ordinances. The Epistle to the Hebrews makes it clear that in depending on these ordinances for salvation they were placing their trust in something imperfect, and incomplete. This Levitical priests themselves needed to sacrifice for their own sins before they could pray for the sins of the Jewish people, and the blood of bulls and goats God did not desire. Jesus came to be the perfect sacrifice and His sacrifice did not need to be repeated, which leads us to one of the most difficult teachings of Hebrews. Hebrews 6:6 says, “If they (the enlightened ones), shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame."

The Bible states that our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the seed of David. Our book concludes that a regenerated (without a sin nature) seed, bonds with an egg in Mary’s body, to begin a gestation period ending nine-months later in a stable in the town of Bethlehem. When the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, the power of the Most High brooded over her much as He did when He created our world: to bring about a process that led to the birth of our Lord and Savior. Thus, Jesus was born of His father David, and His mother Mary, who was a descendant of David through His son Nathan (see Luke 3:23-38). This book describes the genealogy leading up to the Lord’s birth from the beginning to the flood, from the flood to Abraham, from Isaac through Judah, from Pharez through David, and ultimately to the birth of Christ.

Bible Stumbling Blocks by Jesse C. Jones

The chapters in this book are about eight different subjects that seemed to me worth collecting into this volume: 1) believing or not believing what the Bible says about God; 2) Jesus taking our sins; 3) biblical forgiveness; 4) temptation(s), 5) the rapture/resurrection of God’s elect 6) when does God give the Holy Spirit, 7) strongholds, and 8) dead or alive. Although I (Jesse C. Jones) know that God has led me to write on many different subjects, and has given me guidance and insight in the writing, I do not know if others can, or will, accept this writing as truth from God’s Word. I have attempted to accurately interpret what the KJV of the Bible records on the subjects God has led me to, but in many cases what I have written differs from accepted Bible exposition. I hope that readers will be led to check everything I have written against God’s Holy Bible. If they do, this writing will certainly have achieved one of God’s purposes in putting me on this path. God has taught me much about Himself during this time, and that may be the purpose He had in convincing me to undertake this task: I have been greatly blessed by doing His will in this effort. The book is 171 pages.

Weighed in the Balances traces the path of a natural man becoming a spiritual man. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 says, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.” The book is 69 pages.

Can God by Known? by Jesse C Jones

The wisdom of God is obviously beyond our comprehension, but with His book (the Bible), and guidance from the Holy Spirit, we may be able to grasp at least an inkling of His nature, as it relates to bringing some to eternal life. This is the task undertaken in this book. I can only pray that what is documented here accurately describes God’s purposes, thoughts, and understanding in this great mystery, so that some insight concerning these things can be conveyed to readers. This book is 86 pages.

Has God Divorced America? by Jesse C Jones

I recently came across a prophecy by David Wilkerson having to do with the state of our nation, and its need for revival. He pointed out that we cannot have faith for revival unless we are convinced that God still wants to pour out His Spirit upon us. He makes his point here by comparing America to Judah, the Southern Kingdom of the Jews, after the Northern Kingdom of Israel had been conquered by Sargon, King of Assyria, in 722 B.C. “God had already divorced Israel, giving them . . . a certificate of divorce” (Jeremiah. 3:8). But now His attention was on Judah, a people who had cheated on Him and walked away from him. God still had a heart for Judah, and He came to them crying to see the certificate of divorce (see Isa. 50:1). He was saying, ‘Show Me your divorce papers! Prove to Me I ever put you away. It was you who walked away from Me! I did nothing to grieve or hurt you. I loved you the whole time. I came to you and I called to you!’ ” Editor's Note: This book was written before the overturn of Roe vs Wade in June 2022.

The Mystery of God by Jesse C Jones

This book presents an analysis of the biblical scriptures that prophesy events that must come about just before and after Jesus Christ returns to earth in the clouds to gather His elect in what is referred to as the rapture/resurrection. His coming to earth occurs in two phases: 1) to gather those identified in the Bible as the elect given to Him by God the Father, and 2) to bring Satan’s rule as prince of this world to an end by defeating his hordes at the battle of Armageddon. It is the first phase of Christ’s coming that is the focus of this writing.

A Man of God by Jesse C. Jones

This is a story about a man, a place, and a time when the lives of many people were touched by a power they did not know existed, nor did they know that this power was available to them. The man that God used to demonstrate this power was unassuming and totally devoid of the pride of life that plagues most men, and has led an untold number into exaggerated self-esteem and conceit. He appeared in this appointed place without fanfare, and he came into our lives as a result of an event that he had no part in, and, as far as I know was not even aware of. That he had been prepared for this place and time seems to be without question, for things happened rapidly after he began to be used by God in the ministry to which he had been called

The Spiritual Life by Jesse C Jones

This book attempts to describe the significant spiritual events in the life of man from beginning to end, from the “womb to the tomb” so to speak. Emphasis is placed primarily on patterns God has established, and how development of the spiritual life in man seems to follow these patterns. I believe God has given us these patterns, or clues, regarding our spiritual development so that we can have confidence as He guides us along our path through life. In this regard I believe the dictionary definition of the word “analogy” helps us to understand what God was hoping to achieve: “. . . an explaining of something by comparing it point by point with something else”. This book has 92 pages.
