The Unknown God of the Bible

Below are some overlooked and avoided Holy Scriptures that are both terrifying and comforting. Most Americans today are Biblically illiterate and ignorant. These are the Scriptures people steer clear of that speak plainly about the forgotten and unknown God of the Holy Bible. Now understand - Obama, Osteen, and Oprah don’t want to know anything about the God of the Bible; they have a 'god' that they have devised out of their own thoughts. 

Americans don't know the God of the Bible, because they have forsaken the Bible. Nowadays you can get an American to believe just about anything. You’ll never ever hear these things discussed on Oprah or Dr. Phil or Ellen Degenerate. You could watch TV and listen to the radio, and search the Internet for 20 years, and you will never find these truths being mentioned. There is a God - His name is Jesus Christ - He loved you to death on Calvary's Cross - and now He's alive forever more, He wants to save you from your sins, and He's watching you all the time (Proverbs 15:3). And never forget - God is never anything but good.


Here we go:  For God’s eyes are upon all your ways: they are not hid from His face, neither is your iniquity hid from His eyes (Jeremiah 16:17). The Lord is great in counsel, and mighty in work: for God’s eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings (Jeremiah 32:19). How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water? (Job 15:16). For thy heart is not right in the sight of God (Acts 8:21). Can any [sinner] hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord (Jeremiah 23:24). But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Gen 6:8). For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. (II Chron 16:9). For God’s eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all your goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves (Job 34:21-22).


Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts (Prov 21:2). If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? (Proverbs 24:12). And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth (Genesis 6:12). For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth ALL his goings (Proverbs 5:21). For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:4-5).

Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out My hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all My counsel, and would none of My reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD.

But he that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate Me love death. The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto Him: but their time should have endured for ever. And God shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor hearken unto Me, saith the LORD. Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Is not My word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. And God gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. The LORD knoweth how to reserve the unjust unto the day of Judgment to be punished. Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity (Prov 10:29). God withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous (Job 36:7). Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread (Isaiah 8:13). Jesus said, 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 the devil is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44). The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one (Matt 13:38). He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God (John 8:47). Jesus said, Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice (John 18:37). In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother (I John 3:10).

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good (Proverbs 15:3). The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men (Psalm 11:4). For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of His glory (Isaiah 3:8). [O Lord] Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity (Habakkuk 1:13). The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor (Prov 22:12). The eyes of the Lord, run to and fro through the whole earth (Zechariah 4:10). Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in His sight? (II Samuel 12:9).

Lord, thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance (Psalm 90:8). Shall not God search this out? for He knoweth the secrets of the heart (Psalm 44:21). And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in Righteousness (Isaiah 5:15-16). For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He pondereth all his goings. My God knows what you're up to all the time. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in God's sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:12). Now don't forget - You are under Heavenly Surveillance 24/7/365.


O Lord, Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether (Psalm 139:2-4). Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His mercy (Psalm 33:18). Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth (Amos 9:8). The world says, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us (Isa 30:10-11).


The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry (Psalm 34:15). God’s eye seeth every precious thing (Job 28:10). God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God (Psalm 53:2). The children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God (II Kings 17:9). Thus saith the Lord, I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them (Ezekiel 11:5). Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? (Isaiah 29:15). The Lord shall laugh at [the wicked]: for He seeth that his day is coming (Psalm 37:13). 

Do you only want the Salvation of Christ, and not the Christ of Salvation? Yet [the wicked] say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it (Psalm 94:7). Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him (Isaiah 3:11). Jesus said to His disciples, The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you. He that hateth Me hateth my Father also. They hated Me without a cause. (John 7:7; 15:18,23,25).


The Lord that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity (Psalm 94:9,11). For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil (Ecclesiastes 12:14). The Lord will discover their secret parts (Isaiah 3:17). And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world [Jesus Christ], and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved (John 3:19-20). For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me (Isaiah 47:10).

Behold, [the wicked] belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision (Psalm 59:7-8). The mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things, and devoureth iniquity (Prov 15:28; 19:28). For God knoweth vain men: the Lord seeth wickedness also; will He not then consider it? (Job 11:11). The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. [The wicked] hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: He hideth his face; He will never see it (Psalm 10:4,11). And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? (Psalm 73:11). For they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth (Ezek 8:12). The wicked say in their heart, the LORD will not do good, neither will He do evil (Zeph 1:12). Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord God (Jer 5:24).


They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My ways (Hebrews 3:10). [The world] says unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of Thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto Him? (Job 21:14-15). Which say unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for us? (Job 22:17). The word of the Lord is against you (Zeph 2:5). God’s power and wrath is against all them that forsake Him (Ezra 8:22). The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth (Psalm 34:16). For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil (I Peter 3:12).


God numbers your steps: and watches over your sin. (Job 14:16). God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Romans 2:16). Until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts (I Cor 4:5). For God looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven (Job 28:24). Every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Romans 14:12). Why dost thou strive against God? for He giveth not account of any of His matters (Job 33:13). Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! (Isaiah 45:9) Thou God seest me (Genesis 16:13). But we have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God (II Corinthians 4:2). Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in God’s sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4:13). Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)


Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in His eye sight (II Samuel 22:25). Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in His sight (I Chronicles 19:13). Thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD. For God giveth to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner God giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that He may give to him that is good before God (Ecc 2:26). Manasseh wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD. Everything you think, say, or do every day is in the sight of the LORD. You are always under heavenly surveillance. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of God, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight (I John 3:22). Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men (II Corinthians 8:21). Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord Jesus Christ, and He shall lift you up (James 4:10). For God’s mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to His lips (Proverbs 8:7).


And Jesus said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God (Luke 16:15). And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice (Luke 22:61). And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when He had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, He went out unto Bethany with the twelve (Mark 11:11). And Jesus looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And He saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites (Luke 21:1-2). And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house (Luke 19:5).


And when Jesus was come near, He beheld Jerusalem, and wept over it (Luke 19:41). His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set (SoS 5:12). 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). And when Jesus had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him (Luke 13:17). And Jesus lifted up his eyes on His disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God (Luke 6:20). Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? (John 1:38).


A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with His eyes (Proverbs 20:8). And then will Jesus profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:23). Then shall Jesus say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). But Jesus shall say, I know you not whence ye are; depart from Me, all ye workers of iniquity. Jesus’ head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14). These things saith the Son of God, who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass (Revelation 2:18).


And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He hath on his vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS (Rev 19:11-16).

And the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of His arm, with the indignation of His anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones (Isaiah 30:30). And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth (Isaiah 2:17-19). Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13). Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen (Rev 22:20-21).
