Thoughts on the Bible Readings December 29th (Job 39; Malachi 1; Revelation 17, 18)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]In chapter 39 of Job the Almighty continues challenging Job to reply if he has any understanding of the marvels of creation put before him. The first example questions whether Job knows the gestation cycle of the wild goats. Then why is the wild donkey so free and stubborn? Or can you domesticate the wild ox? Despite its strength the ostrich is completely lacking in understanding for the care of its own. God has created all these animals, that we as humans, may learn care and responsibility. The warhorse shows no fear of the battle; on the contrary, he relishes it. Do you understand the marvels of flight and motherhood among the birds of prey? What incredible eyesight the eagle has. The eagle becomes symbolic of divine wisdom and perception. Despite the ruthlessness of his ways, the eagle is a tender provider for its young (unlike our stupid ostrich). We come to the last book of the Old Testament. It also belongs to the time of which Micah spoke when he said that - "the sun shall go down over the prophets". It was spoken and written about BC 460. The absolutely last chapter of the Bible would be Nehemiah 13. The Hebrew word, "Melech" means 'messenger' and is the usual word for "angels" in the Old Testament (the Greek word in the New Testament carries an identical meaning). The book speaks of 4 messengers - the prophet himself; the priests; John the Baptist, styled "my messenger" in the early verses of chapter 3; and, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is called "the messenger of the covenant". The prophecy takes the form of a dialogue between the prophet (representing God) and the people. It tells of the people asking a question of accusation and God rebutting their accusation with Scripture and examples from their history. Chapter 1verses1-5 speak of Yahweh's love for Israel. The LORD attests His love and the people's response is, 'Prove it.' God says that despite Esau being the older twin the LORD chose Jacob. Follow these nations' respective histories and it will be evident that their Sovereign chose Jacob i.e. Israel. Verses 6-14 speak of the nation's disregard for God seen in what they offered on His altar. Respect is shown to a father from a son, and from a servant to a master; where then, says God, is your respect for Me? They were despising God by offering polluted food on His altar - they were offering the blind and the lame (which was forbidden). Offer it to your Governor and see if he is not offended. If it's not good enough for an earthly ruler, how do you think the King of the Universe will react to your insult? Verse 10 states that your worship is governed by what gain you can make. You won't even close the Temple doors unless you're paid to do it. In the kingdom age under Messiah throughout the whole earth Yahweh will be praised and revered. A pure "mincah", or peace offering will be made to honour the LORD at that time. Worship had become tiresome for the people; so, God's response is, “I’m tired of this nation". Don't cheat Me by not offering the Great King your best. Revelation chapters 17-20 are described in "Apocalypse Epitomised" by H. P. Mansfield as, "The Judgment of the Great Whore and the Triumph of the Lamb". In chapters 17-18 we read of the destruction of Rome (Babylon the Great). In chapter 17 the Roman Church is described as a great prostitute, who has shed the blood of masses of the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ over centuries. It is presented as riding and controlling a brutish beast. The harlot sits on many waters - i.e. exercises dominion over many nations see also verse 15; e.g. in Columbia one can read many signs such as, "young man if you want power, become a priest". The wine which Rome has used to befuddle the minds of those nations is Rome's teachings (compare Jeremiah 51verses7-8). Verse 5 says that on her head was a "mysterious", or 'secret', name. The Catholic system is surrounded by secrets - there is within the Catholic catechism's 7 blessed mysteries - starting with the mystery of the Trinity, a fundamental denial of the truth that Jesus came in the flesh. Rome had slain many martyrs (witnesses) of Jesus. "Foxes book of Martyrs" outlines many of these. The sight of the Great Whore brought astonishment to John. The Whore's location is said to be a seven hilled city - Rome - verse 9 (these literal hills were emblematic of the 7 forms of government Rome has had). Verse 18 in addition tells us that at the time Revelation was written - 96 AD - that the city had dominion over the then known world; and that alone was Rome. Chapter 18 tells of the moral pollutions practised by Rome and the destruction that will be brought upon it. The words of verse 2 are an echo of what was said when the first Babylon fell. Verses 2-3 express Yahweh's detestation of the vileness of Rome. Verse 4 is an appeal to God's people to have nothing to do with Rome's behaviours, so as to not share in her calamities. Martin Luther was a devout Church priest until he went to Rome and saw the perversions practised by all levels of the Church, and especially by the pontiff of that era. The Sovereign Lord will repay Rome's evils doubly. The Roman Church describes herself as, "the Mother and Mistress of all Churches"; she sits as a queen, but the Almighty will make her a poverty-stricken widow. All will forsake her and rejoice in her destruction. Verses 11-14 give an inventory of these soul merchants (note verse 13 lists among her cargoes, "the souls of men"). Those who have traded with her will be anything but exultant at Rome's fall - there will be weeping and wailing. Rome's overthrow is likened to a great angel casting a millstone into the sea. The blood of the martyrs will finally be avenged.   Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow Penned by Warwick Rosser and his team, produced by Christadelphianvideo.org See more Thoughts from the Christadelphian Dialy Bible Reading Planner (By R.Roberts) here...

Thoughts on the Bible Readings December 28th (Job 38; Zechariah 13, 14; Revelation 15, 16)

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Yahweh puts before Job in chapter 38, several of His mighty creative acts and dares the patriarch to explain how his Sovereign performed these marvels. Tell me about the foundations of the earth, if you can. Modern science has some ideas related to our earth's core; however, some hypotheses still surround certain aspects of this. Job is told that the creative work was the task of the angels - the sons of God. What about assigning the sea its boundaries? Or can you explain the delicate balance of the clouds and the water cycle? What do you make of the abundant riches of the oceans? Can you explain the relationship between light and darkness? Do you, Job, understand the treasures of the snow? There are no two snowflakes which are identical - yet every one of them is a perfect prismatic hexagon. The elements, says the Almighty, are My armoury prepared for the day of battle. What about the rain and dew, and My care for all creatures great and small - can you comprehend? Don't you understand that water is a unique liquid whose density decreases when frozen? By this means I preserve the life of fish and other creatures living in frigid climates. Do you understand the circuits of the constellations of Pleiades (the seven sisters), or Orion (heaven's giant)? What about Ursa Major (the giant bear - perhaps the first inference in the Bible of Russia)? The list of nature's inexplicable marvels goes on. The wisdom is evident. And with the psalmist (and no doubt also the dazed and amazed Job) we declare, "In wisdom (God) You made them all". In Zechariah 13 we are told that, "in that day" i.e. of Israel's heartfelt conversion to and acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ, as their Messiah; there would be in Jerusalem a fountain for cleansing. That fountain will be the Rulership of the nations by Jesus Christ throned in his Temple (the house of prayer for all nations - expanded upon in Zechariah 14). Verses 2-6 tell us that idolatry will be cut off from God's people when they have been converted. A false priest will deny that he ever truly followed that profession. The heretical priest will claim to be a cattle herder, who had been so taught from his youth. The black robe, commonly worn by clergy, was worn by the priests of Baal and the Chemarim priests - see Zephaniah 1verses8. It is a garment which has the guise of holiness, but is worn by those practised in deceiving themselves, as well as others. When coming across the faithful Son of God, whom they profess to know they will ask him, "What are these wounds in your hands and side"? His reply will be, that those were the wounds that he received from his people, who should have been his friends (see John 1verses9-13; Revelation 1verses7). This is the time when once again Yahweh will allure Israel in the wilderness and convert them by His love and tenderness- see Hosea 2verses14. Verses 7-9 of Zechariah chapter 13 speak of the smiting of the shepherd and the scattering of the sheep - quoted in Matthew 26verses36. Verse 7 also tells us that the smitten shepherd was the fellow (same word translated "neighbour" in Leviticus 19verses the subject of the Law "You shall love your neighbour as yourself") of the Lord GOD Almighty Himself - the incomparable Son of God. Following that smiting, the Land would be visited with great destruction upon those who proclaimed, "His blood be upon our heads". Likewise at the time of the Lord's second coming and kingdom, the prophet foretells that, two thirds of Jerusalem will be destroyed. This will result in a refined and purified remnant who will be the people of Yahweh. Chapter 14 gives some of the details of the battle of Armageddon. We are told here, and in Joel 3, Revelation 16 and Ezekiel 38, 39. We are told that all nations will be involved in that war. The city of Jerusalem will in part (a half) fall to the rapacious invaders (Ezekiel 38 tells us that this northern confederacy will be headed by Russia). But God will, as verse 3 tells us, fight for His people and will use the forces of nature, including a mighty worldwide earthquake, which will dramatically change the landscape and elevate Mount Zion in Jerusalem. The saints of our Lord Jesus will be with him as he stands on the Mount of Olives to cause this earthquake - note the angels declaration that Jesus Christ would return to Jerusalem via this Mountain (Acts 1verses9-11). The consummation of this process is explained in verse 9 of Zechariah 14 with an earth under the Rulership of the kingdom of God. The remnants of the nations will, verse 16, come to Jerusalem, the capitol of the world and centre of divine worship. The verses preceding v16 speak of unspeakable plagues which could infer either chemical, or biological, or even a limited nuclear attack - which will prove futile against the Son of God. Following Jerusalem's literal and spiritual elevation (Isaiah 2verses1-4; Jeremiah 3verses16-17) people will be asked to accept Jesus' rule. Failure to comply will bring drought, or plague. Throughout Messiah's rule the nations will annually observe the Feast of Tabernacles, or booths. Eventually there will be total acceptance of the way of holiness - read verses 20-21 aloud. Pause and ponder. Revelation 15verses2 is a small vision of the victorious saints with Christ having completed the judgment of the great whore described in the pouring out from the seven bowls of judgment the seven plagues of chapters 15-16. The crystal-clear sea speaks of a world without nations and at peace. These bowls plagues to be poured out and describe the judgments of the Lord GOD Almighty to be poured upon the guilty and to chastise them for their persecution of the faithful believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. The events of chapter 2 begin and end the work of the seventh trumpet. The angels of this great and marvellous are said to have "the seven last plagues". The plagues are a series of calamities and disasters affecting the enemies of Israel, and the Saints and Witnesses, with whose blood they have intoxicated themselves. They are called the last plagues "for in them is God's wrath fulfilled". These outpourings are outlined in chapter 16 of Revelation. The troubled sea of the wicked (Isaiah 57versesverses20-21) is to become tranquil once God's wrath has been pacified (the final outcome of these judgements will be a world at peace - Psalm 46 and Revelation 21). The nations will be pacified and will learn true worship as verses 3-4 of chapter 15 indicate. Verses 5-8 provides a glimpse into the Most Holy Place of that Temple after those judgments have been completed. Chapter 16 deals with the outpouring of those bowls of judgment. Note the command of the mighty angel who unleashes the Divine wrath on the persecutors of God's faithful saints. Verse 2 sees the first bowl poured on Catholic Europe after the accession of Napoleon to the throne, as emperor of the French on September 22nd, 1793. The second bowl was of Napoleon's campaigns in naval battles. The third was against the alpine districts and rivers of northern Italy - which region had witnessed savage persecution of the saints by the Roman Catholic Church. The angel effecting those calamities acknowledged the justice of our Sovereign in so repaying the evils done in the name of religion. Verse 8-9 tell of the severe scourge delivered to the Austrian Hungarian seat of Catholic Europe in Vienna in the battle of Austerlitz. The fifth bowl saw Napoleon continue his campaigns against the Hapsburg emperors of Austria. The culmination of this bowl was Napoleon's capture and imprisonment of the Roman pontiff himself. Napoleon's work having been completed sees him removed from the scene. The great impediment to Israel's return and restoration was the Ottoman Empire. The sixth bowl was poured upon this eastern Islamic power - symbolised in the drying up of the river Euphrates. This began around the early 1800s and was finished by the end of World War I. The frog-like message that emerged from the French Revolution was the death knell for the old colonial empires and saw a surge of nationalism. The same spirit is evident today in the Arab Spring. The final outworking of nationalism will be a bringing of Armageddon and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ to establish the one empire to last forever - the kingdom of God on earthverses Daniel 2verses44-45. These frog-like spirits emerge from the dragon (eastern Europe United under Russia); the Beast i.e. United Western Europe; and the false prophet - the pope. Interestingly the European Union was created in 1956 by the Treaty of Rome. Armageddon is the battle of the Lord GOD Almighty in the land of Israel. It is described at length in Ezekiel 38 and Joel 3 (which is the source of the coined Hebrew word "Armageddon" meaning a bundle of sheaves in a valley for threshing, or judgment). The 16th chapter concludes with the pouring out of the final bowl of judgment on Rome itself - called Great Babylon. Having punished those nations which supported the Beast (of chapter 17) Rome will next heavily feel the Almighty's vengeance for her evils. Chapters 17-19 give greater details of these judgements and the reasons for which they will be meted out.
