#Ezekiel 43-48

Jesus is Coming

Some years ago I was walking around the reception tables after a wedding I had performed. An older woman approached me with a question. Almost everyone present at this particular wedding had come from a high church liturgical tradition. In their tradition, they had sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly recited either the Apostle’s Creed or the Athanasian Creed. But apparently, she hadn’t been…

The Lord Will Care for Judah

1 Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone. 2 The idols speak deceitfully, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.

3 “My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the Lord Almighty will care for his flock, the people of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle. 4 From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler. 5 Together they will be like warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.

6 “I will strengthen Judah and save the tribes of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them. They will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them. 7 The Ephraimites will become like warriors, and their hearts will be glad as with wine. Their children will see it and be joyful; their hearts will rejoice in the Lord. 8 I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before. 9 Though I scatter them among the peoples, yet in distant lands they will remember me. They and their children will survive, and they will return. 10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there will not be room enough for them. 11 They will pass through the sea of trouble; the surging sea will be subdued and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. Assyria’s pride will be brought down and Egypt’s scepter will pass away. 12 I will strengthen them in the Lord and in his name they will live securely,” declares the Lord. — Zechariah 10 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

Line Upon Line Lesson 056: God Almighty

Exodus 6:3 - And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to them.

God referred to Himself by two different names in this verse.  He first calls Himself Jehovah (or Yahweh)  The second name God calls Himself is “El Shaddai,” which means “God Almighty.”  What was God trying to tell Moses in this verse?

Let’s read together Genesis 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; 43:14; and 48:3.

When Abraham was ninety-nine years old, God renewed His covenant with Abraham.  When Isaac sent away Jacob, he reminded Jacob of God’s covenant promise to Abraham and his descendants.  When Jacob blessed Joseph’s sons, he recounted to Joseph how God blessed him in Canaan.  In all these passages, God is referred to as El Shaddai.

Let’s read together Genesis 15:7; 22:14; and 28:13.

God revealed to Himself as Jehovah to Abraham and Jacob.  So what did God mean when He said He appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but His name Jehovah was not known to them?

Let’s read together Exodus 3:13-14; Deuteronomy 4:39; Job 11:7; Ezekiel 10:5; and Revelation 4:8.

The patriarchs knew God as the Almighty God who was their Creator.  He provided for their needs and delivered them from great trials in their lives.  No matter how weak they felt, God had more than enough power to carry them forward.   Moses also personally experienced that aspect of God.

The difference between the patriarchs and Moses is that Moses would see the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s covenant promise.  Moses and the children of Israel would see firsthand the power of a God who is like no other being in the universe.  They would see a God who keeps His promises.  They would experience miracles no one has ever seen before.  They would see a God who encourages them to be in a relationship with Him.  They would experience an aspect of God the patriarchs did not fully comprehend.

Friend, remember we serve an Almighty God who wishes to have a close relationship with us.  He is both our Creator and Deliverer.

Title: The Significance of Each Book of the Bible

Introduction:

The Bible is a collection of 66 books that together form the inspired Word of God. Each book has its own unique message, themes, and significance that contribute to the overall story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Let's explore the importance of each book of the Bible.

Lesson Points:

1. The Old Testament:

- Genesis: The book of beginnings, detailing creation, the fall, and the establishment of God's covenant with His people.

- Exodus: The story of the Israelites' liberation from Egypt and the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai.

- Psalms: A collection of songs and prayers that express a range of human emotions and provide a guide for worship.

- Proverbs: Wisdom literature that offers practical advice for living a righteous and wise life.

- Isaiah: Prophecies about the coming Messiah and God's plan of salvation.

2. The New Testament:

- Matthew: Emphasizes Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the establishment of the kingdom of God.

- Acts: Chronicles the early spread of the Gospel and the growth of the early church.

- Romans: Explains the doctrine of justification by faith and the implications of salvation through Christ.

- Corinthians: Addresses issues within the church and provides practical guidance for Christian living.

- Revelation: Offers apocalyptic visions of the end times, the victory of Christ, and the establishment of the new heaven and earth.

3. Themes and Messages:

- Each book of the Bible contributes to the overarching themes of God's love, redemption, forgiveness, and salvation for all humanity.

- Together, these books provide a complete narrative of God's work in the world and His plan for His people.

Application:

- Take time to explore and study each book of the Bible, seeking to understand its unique message and significance.

- Reflect on how the themes and stories in the Bible can impact your own life and faith journey.

- Consider how the teachings and examples in the Bible can shape your beliefs and actions as a follower of Christ.

Conclusion:

The books of the Bible are not just separate entities but are interconnected parts of the larger story of God's redemption and love for humanity. Each book has its own importance and contributes to the overall message of God's plan for salvation. May we approach the study of the Bible with reverence and openness to the wisdom and guidance it offers for our lives.

HE IS THERE

HE IS THERE

Ezekiel 48:35

 

What a way to close off the book of Ezekiel! With the Lord Himself affirming and confirming for us reassuringly that He is there, wherever there would ever be, He is and will be there with and for us as stated in Deuteronomy 31:6 and reiterated in Hebrews 12:4.

Prophet Ezekiel closes his assignment by renaming the city to be “The LORD Is There: JEHOVA SHAMMAH”. Ezekiel’s final vision, and the whole of the book, is about the reality of God’s presence among His people.

Are you looking for the Lord? He is there! You are reminded again and again that the Lord is always near! The Lord Is There! Yes indeed, God Is with us, and He will never forsake us. We are never abandoned by God!

Immanuel in Matthew 1:23 means, "God with us" is closely associated with this Old Testament Name for God, Yahweh Shammah.

Where have you been looking for the Lord? Stop looking for Him. He is there! He is near you always, as clearly stated in Psalm 145:18. He is not far. The quicker we realize that the Lord is always near us, the quicker we stop allowing the enemy to send us on a searching spree all overlooking for God.

God is omnipresent! His omnipresence is His ability to be everywhere at once. Whether someone is on a mountain top or in the deepest valley, they’re never out of His reach or sight. He is there!

The Lord doesn’t need a brick-and-mortar temple to inhabit as clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 6:19, the Holy Spirit resides within us. The Spirit of the Lord lives within individual Christians. This makes each believer’s body a temple where God’s Spirit lives. That means we don’t go looking for the Lord “there” because He’s already and always “there” in and with us.

Be confidently assured that whatever you’re going through, whatever challenges you’re facing, the Lord is there with you. No height, depth, sickness or even death can separate us from God’s everlasting love according to Romans 8:31-35 because Adonai-Shammah is always there with you.

Psalm 23:4 even affirms that God will walk with and alongside us in every situation.

The Lord is with us! The Lord has always been with us and will always be with us! Nothing we go through in life will cause Him to turn from us, even when we turn from Him as seen in Psalm 139:7-10, “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. Where then can one go, and God is not? Nowhere!

Some of us are even right now looking for God in places where He’s not.

When you hurt-He is there! When you’re sick-He is there! When you pass through fire, water, storm as promised in Isaiah 43:2. He is always there!

The Lord gives us a clear message about Him being there in Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Fear not, “the Lord is there” with you always.

PRAYER: Help me, Lord, to remember that you are there in every circumstance. Help me to comprehend this truth that You promise to never leave me or forsake me. There is no place that I can go that is away from Your presence. Amen.

Shalom,

Heartstrings: Glorious Praise to the God of Heaven and Earth

Praising God from a pure heart, acknowledging Him in all of our ways, is pleasing in His sight. He is God, Creator, and Ruler of all. We have no life apart from Him. The life of every living creature, and the breath of all mankind is in His hand. (See Job 12:10)

He has no pleasure in disloyal hearts. (See 1 Samuel 15:20-23, Isaiah 29:13-14, Ezekiel 33:31-32, and John 4:21-24)

"Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven." (Lamentations 3:41)

"Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand." (Psalm 95:1-7)

ELSA OMAR FROM MY FAR CRY THE HARBINGER'S REPENTANCE AU

Personal

25

Female

Bisexual

5'4 or 5'5

Brazilian-Spanish(?)

Elsa has long blonde wavy hair and teal eyes and dimples.

PTSD and some form of chronic bone disorder.

Elsa means "Consecrated to God", "noble", "God's promise", "God is my oath" and "joyful". Omar surname means "flourishing, long-lived", "wealthy spear" and "eloquent".

Her massive, impenetrable ego and confident passive rebellious attitude.

The owner of a Floristry.

Family

11. Yes, unfortunately, that parent is Father Omar, who treats Elsa's older sister Silva like shit, treats Elsa herself with little respect while expecting her to conform to a "traditional" role, and is a serial killer that has killed several other pairs of siblings neither Elsa or Silva will the chance to meet.

12. Yes, her older half-sister Silva. They're the best of friends. And trauma survivors. Though she is saddened she'll never get to meet the numerous pairs of siblings Father Omar disposed of.

13. Nope. Hell, both Elsa and Silva don't even know who their egg donating mothers are. Though she is best aunt to Persephone (Silva's first daughter).

14. Hope County was the best place until the local cult acted up.

15. In her sister's former home (Silva now lives in a lodge). She's doing decently money-wise.

16. Father Omar used to put a lot of pressure and unrealistic expectations on Elsa (and it would have been fatal for her if she didn't meet those expectations, thankfully her skill to pretend saved her life), but now both her and Silva are free.

17. Snails.

18. Her older sister, Silva.

19. Besides trauma, apart of a prophecy, and their apparent bad luck charm. As well as their badassery? Not much else.

20. YES.

Friends

21. Childhood friend (and crush) Ezekiel.

22. Silva, really. But then Ezekiel.

23. Chaos and having a good time living life free and to the fullest.

24. Isiah.

25. Absolutely kind of.

26. Her ego is capable of doing harm, which is part of her character development, mostly no. She has lost Irene, Silva's former romantic partner and Persephone's mother, thanks to Paul's possessive jealousy over Silva causing him to rid of the other woman.

27. Ezekiel.

28. Was taught in private lessons by Al or Father Omar. So no.

29. Gemini and/or Silva.

30. Become lost, I suppose.

School

31. She was born in an extremely religious militarised cult, worse the younger daughter of the very delusional Prophet Omar, so she was given private lessons by either him or his close confidant/childhood friend (that he never listens) Al, so fairly good education.

32. Father Omar was very uncomforting to Elsa, and she had to be very careful about what she said and did around him or else face punishment... or even death. Al, while stern and hard to please, was far more rational to deal with, and was far more lenient to her rebellious actions than Father Omar would have been. She respected Al, and even more so after he sacrificed himself to buy her time to escape onto the docks.

33. She listened to Father Omar (life or death after all), but was far more comfortable doing her own thing when around Al (it amused him too).

34. Technically, yes.

35. Al gave help when she asked him for it on complex work that Omar would not have approved of if he found out. Father Omar only gave Elsa the basics to work with while never helping her on anything else.

36. Private lessons were either a tense life or death situation (Father Omar), or healthier and safe (Al).

37. Nope.

38. Nope.

39. In front of Al, yes.

40. She wasn't really given a choice until Silva and Al rescued her from Father Omar.

Other

41. Elsa is looking to date Ezekiel. But had been in previous relationships with many men, women and non-binary pals.

42. Gardening. Nope, it's literally apart of her job now.

43. General happiness. Like enough of the trauma please.

44. Yes.

45. No, but would be unstoppable if she did discover it.

46. Yes.

47. Yes.

48. If she is able to, scream her frustrations at the target. If not okay to do so, go in a room and vent her frustrations out into her pillow.

49. Her ego doesn't allow her to make such introspective reflections. Morality kind of became something Elsa stopped thinking about after Father Omar and Paul Yellowjack proved to flip such a concept on its head.

50. Not from the top of my head, no.

THE IRREPLACEABLE REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY, WHAT’S FINISHED IS FINISHED, May 15, 2026

Replacement theology is the belief that the Gentiles have permanently replaced Israel as God's chosen people.

God originally cherished Israel as His vineyard (Isaiah 5:1-6), privileged with His oracles.

ISAIAH 5:7 For the VINEYARD of the LORD of hosts is the house of ISRAEL…

However, Israel, who was once a noble vine, has now become a degenerate plant, morally decayed, and corrupted themselves (Hosea 9:9-10), departing from the principles that God had committed to them.

JEREMIAH 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a NOBLE VINE, wholly a RIGHT SEED: how then art thou turned into the DEGENERATE PLANT of a STRANGE VINE unto me?

God had expected them to bear good fruits, as they were endowed with the wisdom of knowing His law, unfortunately, God found none.

Thus, God declares that He can easily raise up a people (Matthew 3:7-10 – stones) who are not of Abraham's seed nor have known His law but nevertheless exhibit good deeds in accordance therewith.

These stones are symbolically referring to the Gentiles (1 Peter 2:5, 9-10), who are highly esteemed by God as the spiritual children of Abraham.

The last extension of mercy had been amply given unto Israel (Luke 13:6-9), which was until the completion of 3 years of Christ’s ministry on earth (John 19:30, Daniel 9:24).

God gave the exact year of His return, 2026, in Daniel 9:24-27, which is the complete prophecy of Christ’s Advent and the termination of Israel’s probation.

DANIEL 9:24-27

7 – SEVENTY weeks (verse 24) 62 – THREESCORE and TWO weeks (verse 25)

7 – SEVEN weeks (verse 25) 62 – THREESCORE and TWO weeks (verse 26)

7 + 7 = 14

14 x 6 x 2 x 6 x 2 = 2016

7 days – ONE week (verse 27)

The triangular number of 7 is 28 (2 + 8 = 10).

2016 + 10 = 2026

Thenceforth, God cursed the house of Israel (Mark 11:12-14, 20-21, Ezekiel 37:1-2, 11) that they would forever be scattered (Zechariah 7:11-14) and would never be able to restore and rebuild into a great nation in His sight.

MARK 11:20-21

(20) …they saw the FIG TREE DRIED UP from the roots.

(21) … Master, behold, the FIG TREE which thou CURSEDST is WITHERED away.

EZEKIEL 37:11 …these BONES are the WHOLE HOUSE of ISRAEL… Our BONES are DRIED, and our HOPE IS LOST…

Howbeit, Israel today continuously took pride in their religious heritage of being a chosen people of God, which is a clear deception, for God had already abandoned them for ages and will remain so until the coming of Christ (Matthew 23:37-39).

MATTHEW 21:33, 37, 39, 41, 43

(33) Hear another parable: There was a certain HOUSEHOLDER, which planted a VINEYARD…

(37) …he SENT unto them his SON, saying, They will reverence my son.

(39) And they CAUGHT him, and CAST HIM OUT of the VINEYARD, and SLEW him.

(41) …and will LET OUT his VINEYARD unto OTHER HUSBANDMEN, which shall RENDER him the FRUITS in their seasons.

(43) …The KINGDOM of God shall be TAKEN FROM YOU, and GIVEN to a NATION BRINGING forth the FRUITS thereof.

When God beheld Nathaniel under a fig tree, which symbolizes Israel, God regarded him as truly an Israelite.

JOHN 1:47-49

(47) Jesus saw NATHANAEL coming to him, and saith of him, Behold AN ISRAELITE INDEED…

(48) …Whence KNOWEST THOU ME? …when thou wast under the FIG TREE, I saw thee.

(49) Nathanael answered… Rabbi, thou art the SON of GOD; thou art the KING of ISRAEL.

Hence, God’s people of whom He honored to be chosen are those who acknowledged and confessed that Jesus is indeed the Messiah and the Son of God, which the Jews have blatantly disdained.

God, who is not constrained by descent, would then execute a final gathering of His people (Matthew 24:30-31), which is mainly composed of the Gentiles, in the new heaven and new earth (Ezekiel 36:24, 35 – Eden).

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

ONE YEAR BIBLE 2023

Ezekiel 25 - Ezekiel 48

Praying Scripture:Mathew 7:13

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. - Matthew 7:13 (NIV)

ENTER THROUGH THE

NARROW GATE

READ:Mathew 7:13-14

OR Full Chapters

Let's Pray

Father of Love, You are God most merciful.

You have shown us that the only way to enter Heaven is through the narrow gate.

There are only two roads we can travel in this life.

The narrow road to eternal life or the wide road to eternal destruction.

The narrow road is the trusted and genuine personal relationship we have in Christ Jesus.

May we walk the "Jesus Way" to enter through the narrow gate to Heaven.

Jesus is the only way to come You - John 14:6

All of the world’s largest religions claim that “their path” is the “only path” that leads to the afterlife.

But Jesus says, "NO" there are only two roads. One is the narrow road that leads to eternal life, the other is the broad road that leads to destruction.

Let it be the desire of everyone to surrender and walk on the the road of faith in Christ Jesus.

May we not create our own ways through any other religion except Jesus Christ.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." - Proverbs 14:12

We live in a world of darkness.

Make a way for us where there seems to be no way. - Isaiah 43:19

May we choose the way of life not death.

“And to this people you shall say: ‘Thus says the LORD: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.” - Jeremiah 21:8

Assuredly as You live You do not take pleasure in the death of the wicked one. - Ezekiel 33:11 ; Ezekiel 18:23 ; 2 Peter 3:9

Thank You Father for the gift of Salvation only in the name of Jesus. - Acts 4:12

To him belong the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11 --- WPT31AG23

Rejoicing in Heaven

1 And after these things I heard the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the honor and the power belong to the Lord our God. 2 For true and righteous are His judgments; for He has judged the great whore, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He has avenged the blood of His servants at her hand." 3 And they said a second time, "Hallelujah! And her smoke shall ascend upward into the ages of eternity." 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, Who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!" 5 And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all His servants, and all who fear Him, both small and great."

6 And I heard a voice like that of a great multitude, and like the sound of many waters, and the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord God Almighty has reigned.

7 Let us be glad and shout with joy; and let us give glory to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." 8 And it was granted to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, pure and bright; for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

9 And he said to me, "Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are the true words of God." 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. Then he said to me, "See that you do not do this! I am a fellow servant of yours, and of your brethren, who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

11 And I saw heaven open; and behold, a white horse; and He Who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He does judge and make war. 12 And His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written that no one knows except Him. 13 And He was clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and His name is The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven were following Him on white horses; and they were clothed in fine linen, white and pure. 15 And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He might smite the nations; and He shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and He treads the winepress of the fury and the wrath of the Almighty God. 16 And on His garment and on His thigh He has a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, "Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God 18 So that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chief captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all, free and bond, and small and great."

19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to make war with Him Who sits on the horse, and with His army.

20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked miracles in his presence, by which he had deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Those two were cast alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone; 21 And the rest were killed by the sword of Him Who sits on the horse, even the sword that goes out of His mouth; and all the birds were filled with their flesh. — Revelation 19 | A Faithful Version (AFV) A Faithful Version Bible Copyright © 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 York Publishing Company.
