ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
Joshua 21 and 22, Teaching Tools
Additional studies: Joshua Index
When Abram was 75 years old, God began promising him land and children (in 1921 BC, according to Floyd Nolen Jones in The Chronology of the Old Testament). When he was 100 years old, Isaac was born – 25 years later. Then in 1491 BC, Moses led the children out of Egypt, 430 years after Abram first received his promise. Add 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, plus five years of warfare for the land: in 1445 BC, Joshua divided the land among the 12 tribes for an inheritance. 476 years had passed, more or less, or ten generations of men; however YHVH fulfilled His promise down to the last word, and all came to pass.
Psalm 123, Chiastic Structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Five (107-150) Index
YHVH is enthroned in the heavens, exalted; the arrogant proud lift themselves up. YHVH on His throne, however, exercises grace, while the arrogant proud exercise oppression, scorn, contempt.
Be surety for Your servant for good; do not let the proud oppress me. Psa 119:122.
And He will deliver! ♥
Mark 14, The Temple Jesus Builds
Additional studies: Mark Index
So what is the Temple made without hands which Jesus is building? John says that He was speaking of the temple of His body. His body was raised from the dead three days later. Beloved, we are the Body of Messiah. It is us, the ekklesia, the body of believers, whether they are Jew or Gentile, who are the third temple made without hands, where the presence of God dwells.
