Essential Studies.
Nehemiah 12 and 13, The holy Sabbath
Additional studies: Nehemiah Index (in process)
Before man ever sinned, YHVH was holy, His name was holy, the place of His presence was holy, and His Sabbath on the seventh day was holy, commemorating His awesome works, that He is our Creator and our God. That the seventh day is set apart is its nature, having nothing to do with us. Before Adam ever sinned, God established the seventh day as rest from labor and painful toil (the consequence of our sin, Gen 3:17-19). It is the first teacher of the Gospel of grace. To treat it or dismiss it as profane does not proceed from the Spirit of God.
Proverbs 28:17-29:17, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Proverbs Index
On the sudden fall without warning of the wicked: When it happens, let no one help him! Fathers, are you listening? If you are unlucky enough to have wicked children, let them flee themselves into a pit, and do not help them. The pit will either open their eyes to their wickedness, and cause them to repent and begin to learn wisdom, or it will destroy them, if their neck continues to remain stubborn. But if you help a wicked man out of a pit, how will he learn wisdom? How will he cease wickedness? You will only have to do it again and again.
Revelation 21, The new heaven and new earth
Additional studies: Revelation Index
The New Jerusalem is built upon the foundation of the twelve apostles, and its twelve gates are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is another way of showing that the two witnesses, Judah and Ephraim, Jews and Christians, Israel and the Church, Old and New Testaments, will be one and not two.
