ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
Isaiah 36 and 37, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Isaiah Index
And that is the point: The word of YHVH, is: Fear not! I will deliver you! And the word of the enemy is its exact opposite: God will not deliver you, and besides, look at the circumstances which your eyes can see; you have every reason to fear! But whose word came true? The word of YHVH. The strong theme is teaching us that the enemy will lie to us even with circumstances which our eyes can see, which seem to corroborate his lies; but in reality we have nothing to fear. The reality is, we can trust the word of YHVH which denies the circumstances our eyes can see. (Teshuvah Day 32 of 40)
Psalm 77, Chiastic structure

Look at the D pair. The Psalmist communed within his heart, trying to find an instance when Adonai forgot to be gracious or shut up His compassion. He realized that there is no such instance – YHVH changes not. When his tears did not cease, he was thinking, perhaps subconsciously, that the right hand of the Most High could change. That lie that had slipped in, became his weakness. So what did he do in response? Instead of meditating on all his trouble (1C) he began to meditate on the work of YHVH (2C) – His greatness, His glory, and that His promises hold fast. Let us do the same! ♥
John 2, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: John Index
The religious professionals asked Jesus for a sign, since He cleansed the Temple of money changers. Their question goes back to Moses, since God gave Moses a mission at the burning bush, and then gave him miraculous signs to perform so that people would believe that he really did have authority from God to confront Pharaoh. But Jesus, instead of showing them a sign right then, said that if the Temple was destroyed, He would raise it up again in three days. (Thus three is a Sign of Messiah in Scripture.) In other words, the miraculous sign proving His authority is the resurrection from the dead after three days (F pair in the structure).
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Rom 1:1-4
