They have greatly oppressed me from my youth — let Israel say, they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me. Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long. But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked. Read Post »

Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.

Q. Thank you for the commentaries. I was reading the “Bride” article and came across a question within the “Parable of the Wedding Banquet”. You mention under the “Wedding Planner” third paragraph that the “Invited guests represent Israel”. Also you mention under “Do You Know The Bride” the servants He sends out to invite them “are the 144,000 evangelists”. I guess my question is, aren’t the 144,000 from the Twelve Tribes of Israel, making them the Israelites? Or is this maybe the “Saved” Israelites?

Q. My Sunday School class is studying the book of Isaiah. Yesterday we were in Ch. 43 and you can see right away that God is talking to the Jews, and that he refers to them as both “Jacob” and “Israel”. He does this in both verse 1 and verse 22. Can you give me your thoughts on this? I don’t want to go off on my own understanding, and respect your opinion very much.

Q. I know some have explained that the punishment for the sin of Israel and Judah (Ezekiel 4:5-6) was completed in 1948 when Israel was reborn. And too, some have said that in Math 24:32 the fig tree is the nation of Israel, but in Luke 21:29 the Lord also said to look at the fig tree and all other trees. How about the Balfour Declaration in 1917, would not this too be a good indication for the start of the fulfillment of the prophecy as mentioned in Ezekiel 36?

Q. Since Joseph & Mary were not a married yet & God said that Jesus would come from his (Joseph) lineage, wouldn’t that mean that it had to be Mary’s lineage? or did Joseph & Mary really get together to fulfill what God said? Also I did watch a documentary that said Mary was a virgin when the two got married, but then did their wedding thing that would fulfill what God said? Thank you for this chance to ask a question.

Q. In Rom. 11:26-27, God tells us that “all Israel shall be saved.” Does that mean that all Jews still alive at the end of the Great Tribulation will be believers? On, said in another way, does it mean that all non-believing Jews will have died?
That sounds as if the penalty for Jewish, as opposed to Gentile, non-belief by the end of the Great Tribulation is both earthly and eternal death. Is that the correct meaning?

Q. My heart is continually blessed and my spirit lifted as I continue with you in the word of our Lord. I am eternally grateful for your work and for your dependent spirit upon the Lord and for the work God is able to do in us as we yield and trust in Him and His word.
In Ezekiel 36:26 the Lord Said, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes. Thus says the Lord God: “I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them.”

When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people both now and forevermore. Read Post »
