ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
Jeremiah 3 and 4, Healing our backsliding
Additional studies: Jeremiah Index
They shall no more say or make the ark of the covenant of YHVH. The ark was the box in which were kept the two tablets of stone on which were written the Ten Commandments. The box was covered by the lid with the two golden cherubim, facing each other. This lid was called the Mercy Seat, and was considered the Throne of God. His is a throne of mercy, Amen? It was the place where His presence dwelt. Why will they not speak of it any more? Because the throne of God will not be on a box, but in a city – Jerusalem – the place the nations shall be gathered to. Redeemed Judah, Israel, and all nations shall have their citizenship in Zion and not with the kingdoms of this world any longer. It is in the City of God that the throne of God will be found – for the citizens of His Kingdom obey the Law of His Kingdom, from new hearts.
Psalm 98, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Four: 90-106 Index
For the nations He has revealed His righteousness. “Nations” always brings to mind the seventy rebellious nations who rejected YHVH as Creator and God at the Tower of Babel, and made gods of their own choosing to serve, also setting up man’s system of government by empire, conquest, and harsh service to overlord elites that we find ourselves embroiled in yet today. To the nations He has revealed His righteousness, but to Israel, His covenant people, He has remembered His mercy and faithfulness. The wonderful thing about God, is that He has opened the Door (Joh 10:7) for the seventy nations to return to Him, and be grafted in to His covenant nation, through Israel’s Root and Savior, Messiah Yeshua (Rom 11:17).
John 17, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: John Index
How are the disciples kept from the evil one, when they have tribulation in the world?
When we expect that because we are disciples, nothing bad will ever happen, we are setting ourselves up to be taken by, not kept from, the evil one. His weapon is lies; he feeds our false expectations so that if we become bitter when they are not met, he has an open door to ensnare us. Our safeguard is truth, the complete opposite of his lies.
