Essential Studies.
Jeremiah 52, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Jeremiah Index and Ezekiel Index
Even though this chapter relates the terrible judgment of God which He warned would come upon Jerusalem and Judah if the people did not repent, in Scripture there is never found the record of a judgment which does not also include the record of renewed hope and life. Judgment came upon Zedekiah the king of Judah when he rebelled against the king of Babylon, to whom God had told him to submit, and it would be well with him. But then release from captivity and release from death in prison came to Jehoiachin the king of Judah as a prophetic type of the release all of Judah would receive when her time of captivity was over. ♥
Psalm 140, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms, Book Five: Psalms 107-150 Index
In the 2B pair, the wicked are cast into deep pits from which they cannot escape. The trap they had hoped to set for others, has come upon themselves. And that is the hope God is giving us. We may be contending with evil right now, but it shall not be established; rather, our own cause will be maintained and the day is coming when we will give thanks to God for its defeat!
1 John 2, A new commandment
Additional studies: 1, 2, & 3 John Index
Commandment-keeping had gotten all tangled up with legalism, which had hidden Love, the heart of Torah, from view. But just as the Hebrew word for “new” shares the root of the word for “new moon,” that is, the old moon with a fresh face, so the new commandment of Love is not new as in newly created, but renewed, putting a fresh face on the old that had been there all along. 🙂
