ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
Isaiah 65 and 66, Walking according to our own thoughts
Additional studies: Isaiah Index
These are the final verses of Isaiah, and as Isaiah opened with the judgment which was coming upon Israel and Judah, it closes with the return of the King of kings, the peace, joy, and blessing upon Israel and Judah, His servants, and the judgment upon His enemies. New moons and Sabbaths will be observed in the new heavens and the new earth, where righteousness is completely restored!
We have been told it does not matter what we eat, and on what day we rest or worship — by men. The word of YHVH says differently. Let us conform ourselves to HIM, and not to man, whose thoughts and ways are not His!
Psalm 92, The verbs of praise
Additional studies: Psalms Book Four: 90-106 Index
TO GIVE THANKS. Strong’s H3034 ידה yadah, a primitive root meaning, “to throw out (with) the hand.” The 3-letter root is yud + dalet + hey:
yud י = closed hand, thus work, throw, worship
dalet ד = door, thus enter, move, hang
hey ה = man w/upraised arms, thus look, reveal, wonder, worship, breath
The story: Hands (yud) moving (dalet) so that they are upraised in worship (hey). The three forms of this word are: “to throw out,” the verb form; “hand,” the concrete object form, as it is with the hands that we throw or do any work; and “praise,” the abstract concept form. Notice that the abstract concept of praise or thanksgiving, worship, grows out of the root of doing something with the hands. In the Hebraic worldview the act of worshiping God involves, yes, raising hands to Him in worship, but also includes doing the works that He has instructed us to do.
John 13, Love one another
Additional studies: John Index
Agape love, whether exercised toward the brothers in the faith, or toward men generally, is not an impulse from the feelings, it does not always run with the natural inclinations, nor does it spend itself only on those for whom there is an affinity. Agape Love seeks the welfare of all (Rom 15:2), and works no ill to any (Rom 13:8-10); love seeks an opportunity to do good to all men, and especially toward those who are ‘of the household of the faith’ (Gal 6:10).
