Victory belongs to the Lord. This is a lesson that is often learned, often communicated, and often repeated in the book of Joshua. We see in addition that victory is directed, sovereignly administered, and granted by the One who leads Israel, not Joshua, but the Messiah. We must ask ourselves when we read the Old Testament and all the exploits of t…

-After these things-- John writes these words, having received them from the Lord, carried away on the Lord's Day, that the churches of Asia Minor and in every age might know that Christ reigns upon the throne of heaven and earth, that His rule is secure and that He has flung wide the gates of heaven, even as the nations have been grafted in, the n…

We see here, in this episode, a drama unfolding between the Gibeonites and Israel where we find decisions that challenge our own understanding of what is virtuous and wise for men to do in light of God's directives. We find a pagan nation exercising evil through deceitful cunning, endeavoring to make a covenant on false pretenses by tricking Israel…

-You become what you behold-- this timeless principle, is one that represents the covenantal nature with which Go relates to all men, it communicates the truth that men are made by God, and therefore made for worship, and drawing near to one that is higher than they, than you, than I. Revelation shows us in vivid imagery that everyone bears a name,…

Even as YHWH established reverence in the hearts of His people, as He made it clear that obedience was not an option, but the only way to bring about the fulfillment of the promises made to Israel, to take, fill, and be fruitful in the land of promise. Here, in this episode, following the one of judgment and remembrance, God walks Israel through th…

Jerusalem stands, not as an example of the glory and beauty that God desires to dress His people in, but that of a harlot who has clothed herself in the fornications of idolatry and covenant infidelity.

The call to holiness is one wherein we are called to deny ourselves, that is to die to self, and those interests and former habits that run contrary to the will and righteousness of God for us - to glorify and enjoy Him, and to also live unto righteousness, which is to seek have the will and righteousness of God nurtured in us, that we might walk f…

Where Jerusalem, and the leaders of Israel led - crying out concerning the Messiah who had come to them, for their salvation, -crucify him- -Mk. 15-13, 14, 20- - Rome would follow. Now to be sure Herod sought to put to death the Messiah, thinking that he would cause a political uprising, the Jews rejected Jesus because He claimed to be the Messiah.…

The final bowl, the final element in Christ's wrath poured out upon Jerusalem, a city divided by judgment, experiencing the wrath of God for their rejection of the Messiah, for the forgiveness of their sins, and so instead of mercy, judgment and condemnation. God will bring upon those who deny the Messiah, those nearest to the promise indeed, judgm…

Now the time comes for Israel to march to the great city of Jericho, prepared for them by the Lord to conquer and wipe away from the face of the earth.

The Old Jerusalem is not merely passing away, it is being brought to utter ruin by the One who the inhabitants of that city rejected, the One who came with salvation in His hands, Hosanna, the Lord and heaven and earth. Though He came to His own, His own did not receive Him, and for their rejection they inherited judgment. The reason for their reje…
