New Blog Entry Published In Primary Site

Phew! Thank God I've finally made a new blog entry in my primary site. After more than a month of inactivity, I finally got to do some researching again. That's because lately it is my renewed desire to finish showing the relevant credentials for the Messiah. Want to know why I was lost in the blogging scenes? Please read that blog as I have explained it there. Um… oh, just click this link for your convenience. In case you will not be auto-forwarded, you can type http://360.yahoo.com/alvinvillaflores_hubport then read the blog entry dated December 2, 2007.

So this blog entry is the behind-the-scenes for that entry in my primary blog site – some background story that I don't have time to publish it there, or some miscellaneous items or events related to that. Maybe if I get comfortable with this setup, I would probably do this in my future blogs. To tell you frankly, I'm not sure why I had to do this behind-the-scenes thing. Maybe I just wanted to shake off some formalities or what, that somehow I miss being informal in my blogs, seeing that I look very formal there. Correction, I read very formal there. Or maybe I'd just like to have some miscellaneous topics for my blogs done in my other blog sites.

And you know what, that blog entry took me longer to publish. I have to do some researching. I am not a Bible scholar and I do not possess formal studies in the Bible – one that could have you called "pastor" – so I have to do this by myself, with a little bit of asking to those who have those titles embedded in their names. What had me delayed is who Asaph is. I have to know who he is because he quoted sayings that have been used as prophesies that link with the Messiah. At first, everything is kind of murky figuring out that lead or credential for the Messiah. It had me wondering why Asaph quoted things that the apostles used for Jesus. With the use of Bible softwares, I have finally known that Asaph was. The following could be said of him:

• Asaph was a Levite. He belonged to that tribe of Israelites separated and called for the royal priesthood of the nation. They facilitate praise and worship, the presentation of burned offerings, and the periodic ritual of atonement and sacrifice.
  
• Asaph was also a chief musician in the temple of God. Various references in the Old Testament point to this, most particularly the Book of Kings and the Book of Chronicles.
  
• Asaph was a singer. A psalmist actually, using the proper vernacular for his station. That much can be found in the Book of Psalms.
  
• And (using the cliché) last but not the least, Asaph is a prophet. He sings and plays music with the Spirit of God prophesying in him, as recorded 1 Chronicles 25: 1-2.
  

Days ago, I prayed for guidance as to what to write in that blog. I have read a credential, but I could not explain it plainly because I struggled with the identity of Asaph. After figuring these out, I thank God for showing me these. Truly, I am doing this not for my own glory, but for Him alone.
