ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
1 Chronicles 3 and 4, Paragraph divisions teach
Additional studies: 1 and 2 Chronicles Index
David is a type of Messiah, and David receiving the kingship, is prophetic of Messiah Yeshua receiving the kingship. When Messiah Yeshua enters His kingship, I wonder if it will be following a devastating defeat of man’s way of doing things, when all the hope of Israel seems lost, and Israel has been driven from their homes by their enemies? That would be History that Prophesies. Be that as it may, it is Messiah—not the choice of man, but of the Spirit of God—who will put things right when He enters into His kingship.
Proverbs 3, The excellency of wisdom
Additional studies: Proverbs Index
We learned in Pro 1:7 that the fear of YHVH is the beginning of knowledge. Now the A pair teaches that fearing YHVH enough to keep His commandments is the equivalent of wisdom. Why does YHVH care whether we know wisdom or not? The central axis reveals it: He loves us, and doesn’t want the end of fools (death and destruction) to come upon us.
Colossians 2, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Colossians Index
“You are complete in Him” relates to “Let no man judge you in foreshadows;” because since we are already complete in Him, no man need judge us in matters of observance or obedience. The body of believers is to pay attention to their own obedience. We were never called to police the obedience of others, whether in the body or out of the body. If someone is not where you are in a matter of observance, be at peace! If they are in the body, they will grow with growth that is from God! Torah policing and obedience policing has at its root a lack of faith in the wisdom and ability of God to shepherd His own sheep by His Spirit.♥
