The winds whirl as tall as the stars' reach, yet its silent, and God is faithful. Supplying all my needs, my Heavenly Father knows me so well. He puts me to work, giving me advantages and supporters with gifts unimaginable. He keeps my hands busy with work that will fulfill His purpose, and experience in skills only taught by skilled carpenters, an't He good. I cry in the midst of worship, in all my surroundings I see Him. In my reflection, I see Jesus Christ. In the face of my spiritual brothers and sisters, I see my Heavenly Father. Our characteristics are birth marks exposing our spiritual connection to God, in Jesus name, like a genetic code. I am a Christian. Galatians 2:20 say, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
With this being said, I truly believe God takes Census. I mean, honestly, The Book of Life is a book with names of all His children invited to have everlasting life. However, while creating the Taco Bar Bible Study website, I was afraid no one would RSVP or subscribe to the newsletters due to fear of being exposed as Christians. Unfortunately, I am right.
But in Nehemiah 7, The Jewish community were aware of their targets as God's chosen people. They were ostracized, threatened, and killed because of their commitment to the Heavenly Father, but are rewarded greatly with a peace, covenant, and unconditional love that obedient Christians today, shout "Hallelujah" in the midst of explaining. Yet, they did not hide; the Jewish community kept a census for records and gatherings. In Nehemiah 7:1,2, There were roles appointed, census kept, government established of those committed to serve God as people of the court for His people, also known as politicians. However, Nehemiah 7:4 explains, the rebuilt city was huge, but there weren't many people, and the architecture was still developing. Also, in Nehemiah 7:5, Nehemiah states, God put it in his heart to record keep record of the people for genealogical purposes. So I researched genealogy;

Genealogy includes, "a line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor. " Again, Galatians 2:20, defines all who are crucified with Christ are decedents of Jesus Christ in faith, and spirit. Till death... and even after. God created us, appointed roles & titles for the structure and well being within His community, gave His only begotten Son to create a line of communication between not only the Jewish community, but also, Gentiles, due to our own sin; And yet, we fear to take His name.
I am a Christian, who participates in the discussion of God's Word, Law, and expectations of His children's obedience. Nehemiah 7:5-73 is a record of all of God's people, their maidservants, and maidservants' family. Do your faith extend passed this life? Or are you just grateful for right now?
