ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
Jonah 1 through 4, Chiastic elements
Additional studies: Chronicles Index
The same mercy that Jonah appealed to, of YHVH, while he was in the belly of the great fish, Jonah was angered that it was likewise extended to the Assyrians when they repented. Let it never be so among us, who have also received YHVH’s mercy for our violations of His Law! Believers, may it never be said of us that we have embraced the spirit of Jonah, the spirit that delights in judgment and is angry and disappointed when YHVH exercises His great mercy toward the lost, and destroys them not! Ever let that which delights YHVH’s heart, delight our hearts! ♥
Psalm 50, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Two: 42-72 Index
God is testifying against His own people (vs. 7). But why is He rebuking them? Not for their sacrifices (vs. 8), which they were bringing according to the Law, but because they were going through the covenant’s forms while denying it’s faithfulness.
Acts 21, The charge against Paul
Additional studies: Acts Index
Not only this, but the concept that one standard exists for Jews while another standard exists for Gentiles is in itself contrary to Torah. As Gentiles from the nations came to connect themselves to YHVH, they were to have one Torah (Exo 12:49, Lev 24:22, Num 15:16). Two Torahs, one for Jews and one for Gentiles, is anathema to Torah.
It does not harmonize with Scripture that Paul was advocating for two Torahs. Likewise, two salvations, one for Jews and one for Gentiles, is anathema to the Scriptures (Eph 2:11-20, 4:4-6). God is not schizophrenic. He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever – He does not change and His Word does not change!
