ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
Isaiah 63 and 64, And the 62:10-64:12 Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Isaiah Index
He who is mighty to save comes, treading the winepress of His wrath, staining His robes with the blood of the the peoples, who are contrasted with the redeemed (see Rev 14:18-20); the peoples, then, are those not redeemed. This, however, does not mean all Gentiles, for something amazing comes to light in the 2B pair.
Doubtless You are our Father, though Abraham was ignorant of us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O YHVH, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is Your name. Isa 63:16
There are children of God, calling Him Father and Redeemer, whom Abraham was ignorant of, and Israel does not acknowledge. Here we find the wild branch of the Redeemed from the nations, who have been grafted in among the children of Israel (not replacing them) through the root of them both, Messiah Yeshua (Rom 11:17-18).
Psalm 91, Dwelling in the secret place, part two
Additional studies: Psalms Book Four: 90-106 Index
The man who makes YHVH his dwelling place, lets the marriage relationship of this physical, natural world, teach him what it means to dwell in YHVH’s face in the spiritual world. The man is in relationship with YHVH God. He is not merely performing religious obligations or duties. They cohabit. The relationship is not one- sided. The man dwells with God, and God dwells with the man. They spend private time as well as public time together.
John 12, The hour is come
Additional studies: John Index
All the nations had rejected God from being God over them at the Tower of Babel rebellion (Genesis 11), and as a result, God had separated out one man, Abraham, of whom He would make a new nation, who would preserve His worship in the earth (Genesis 12). It was with Israel, not the other nations, that God made a covenant to be their God, and He would take them to be His people (Exo 6:7). But it was always His plan to extend His covenant to all the other nations as well: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Gen 12:3
These are the other sheep not of this fold (Joh 10:16). When the other nations began searching for Him, He knew that the time had come to be sacrificed as the Lamb of God, who would take away the sins of the whole world (Joh 1:29), and not Israel only.
