The ancient city of Petra - once the capital city of Edom, known as Sela - had amazing defenses. It is a city carved into the rock, accessible by a narrow canyon almost a mile long. At the end of the canyon there is a spectacular city carved in stone, and seemingly incapable of being conquered by any army. The Edomites boasted intheir wisdom.

OVERVIEW. As Edward Young has explained: the first chapter is an introduction to the entire book, containing the basic themes of Isaiah’s ministry, namely, the sinfulness of Judah and Jerusalem (vv. 3-8), the tender appeals of the Lord (vv. 16-19), the certainty of the coming judgment (vv. 24, 25, 29-31), and the blessedness of the salvation to come (vv. 26, 27). 1 KINGS 15:1-31 -- RATING THE KINGS OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL BIG IDEA: GOD DESIRES LEADERS WHO DEMONSTRATE A FAITHFUL HEART LIKE KING DAVID RATHER THAN THOSE WHO CONTINUE IN THE PATTRN OF SIN, INSTABILITY AND STRIFE INTRODUCTION: We are now immersed into the evaluations of the various kings who governed over the southern and northern kingdoms.

John MacArthur: At least 7 major theological themes emerge in Ruth: 1) Ruth the Moabitess illustrates that God’s redemptive plan extended beyond the Jews to Gentiles (2:12). 2) Ruth demonstrates that women are co-heirs with men of God’s salvation grace (cf. Gal. 3:28). 1 KINGS 14:1-20 -- JUDGMENT ON JEROBOAM'S LEGACY BIG IDEA: SEEKING HELP FOR HIS AILING SON, JEROBOAM IS CONDEMNED AS AN EVIL RULER FOR HIS RELIGIOUS EXPEDIENCY INTRODUCTION: The serious illness of his son (and potential heir to the throne in Israel) drove Jeroboam to seek assistance from God through the prophet Ahijah.Instead of any type

CONNECTING TO THE HEART OF GOD PATRIOT ACCUSED OF TREASON – JER. 37 Nobody loved the nation of Israel more deeply than Jeremiah. Nobody grieved over their sinful state more deeply than he. He was a true patriot but was falsely accused and imprisoned as a traitor. Jeremiah was a man of conviction who stood by God’s revelation to him despite whatever pressure was exerted by people in high places to try to get him to compromise. > Rick Ezell: Throughout Jeremiah’s ordeal, he stood by his > convictions, speaking the truth of God’s will. He was “_an iron > pillar, and bronze walls_” (JER. 1:18). He was a man of > unfaltering conviction. . .A person with convictions knows what he > believes, where he is going, and why. Convictions are not forced on > an individual. They are beliefs and actions of choice. They are the > truth, the mission, and the calling given by God that is not altered > by time, people, opinions, or circumstances.>
> Francis Kelley wrote, “Convictions are the mainsprings of action, > the driving powers of life. What a man lives are his convictions.” > Martin Luther King, Jr. often told his children, “If a man has > nothing that is worth dying for, he is not fit to live.”>
> Each day will challenge our convictions. The person who perseveres > in obedience lives by those convictions each day. THE PUPPET KING CANNOT CONTROL THE FAITHFUL PROPHET OF GOD Continue reading →August 5, 2019

SCROLL OF CALAMITY – JER. 36 Accountability can be a sore subject for those who do not want to face up to the consequences of their actions. When hit with a prophecy of impending divine judgment, people resort to the standard defensemechanisms:
* Deny the reality of the message * Question the source or authority of the message * Attack the messenger * Ignore the message * Oppose the message in any way possible But here we will see the futility of trying to cut out the portions of God’s Word we don’t want to obey; the futility of trying to burn the Word of God; the futility of trying to attack God’s messengers. > Parunak: How do you react to bad news? Say, the message that you > have been declared a political enemy and the government is looking > for you. You may mourn over it; you may take steps to avoid > capture. One thing doesn’t make sense: shoot the messenger and > deny the message. Yet many people take exactly that action when > they hear God’s condemnation of their sin. Instead of acting > responsibly on that information, they deny it and reject the > messenger. Today, we learn of a Hebrew king who acted just that> way.

THE PRIORITY OF OBEYING GOD – JER. 35 Scriptures frequently use the type of argument fleshed out in this passage: arguing from the lesser to the greater. If you are careful to keep your word and commitments made to human authorities, how much more critical is your faithfulness to God? Jeremiah is instructed by God to stage a specific scenario that would help to drive home this lesson to the unrepentant and unfaithful nation. Certainly we have such abundant access to God’s revelation and to good teaching that we have a high degree of accountability when it comes to listening to and obeying the truth of the Word. OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY MUST ALWAYS BE TO OBEY GOD Continue reading →July 31, 2019

OBEDIENCE MUST BE SUSTAINED – JER 34 You have heard of the Christian movement called “PROMISE KEEPERS.” I suppose you could call this episode in Israel’s history a record of “PROMISE BREAKERS.” Jeremiah comes to remind the city and king of the certainty of God’s judgment because they failed to sustain their commitment to obeying the covenant. They followed the path of expediency rather than of conviction and jettisoned their half-hearted pledges when their circumstanceschanged.
> Mackay: CHAPTER 34 records two incidents in the closing years of > Zedekiah’s reign: a message delivered to him by Jeremiah (VV. > 1-7), and a blatant example of opportunism and half-heartedness in a > solemn commitment (VV. 8-22).

RESTORATION GUARANTEE – JER. 33 Since we know who holds the future, we can have confidence in God’s end times prophecies. Especially comforting are the words from Jeremiah 33 at the conclusion of the short four-chapter Book of Consolation that guarantee the future restoration of both the people and the leadership of the nation of Israel. Things certainly looked bleak for the faithful but much maligned prophet Jeremiah as he languished in confinement in the capital city of Jerusalem. His words of imminent defeat at the hands of the Chaldeans had been brushed aside by false prophets and deceived rulers who were trying to mount a defense against an enemy that God was backing. But Jeremiah was not left in the dark about God’s overall redemptive agenda. The covenant-keeping Creator and Lord over all pledged His faithfulness to the promises made earlier to the patriarchs, to the priestly dynasty and to King David and his family. Despite shocking and persistent rebellion and idolatry, God’s chosen people were not being cast aside forever or even replaced by some spiritual substitute – e.g. the New Testament church believers as the amillennial campproposes.
Instead God wants us to see that NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM and we can trust Him supremely even when our circumstances would say otherwise. The same God who was powerful to consign Israel and Judah to captivity will prove Himself powerful to complete the restoration of both northern and southern kingdoms in the end times under the leadership of the Messiah – the perfect prophet/priest/king. Leadership is important as this passage makes clear. Some guarantees lack credibility. But the power and trustworthiness of God Himself stands behind the bold promises made here to Hisundeserving people.
GOD GUARANTEES THE FUTURE RESTORATION OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE MESSIAH Continue reading →July 25, 2019
