O. T. #2281 " With Whom Are We In Step?"
Sept. 16, 2022
Zechariah 2-Part 6
Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for He is raised up out of His holy habitation. (verse 13)
LET IT GLOW
Are you like me and find it hard to sit in silence before the Lord?
The Lord is in heaven, then during His Millennial reign, Jesus will come down to earth. He is raised up, not in the sense of rising from sleep, but in the sense of a lion or a bear that has been aroused from its den or lair. Jesus will embark upon His plan, and the outcome is certain for the enemies of Israel, for Israel, and for the Gentiles who through Israel will be drawn into fellowship with Israel's God. (Falwell)
God will be in His holy Temple, therefore, let the whole earth keep silent before Him. What a day when our Lord Jesus will be visible on earth! The Old Testament believers looked forward to this. The New Testament believers experienced this, and we believers in the church age are looking into the future for this.
God has a plan and He is working out His plan. Are we trusting Him?
LET IT GROW
What a glorious kingdom that is coming! It provides us with hope, encouragement, and comfort.
From the three visions, we have learned that:
- God watches the nations and know what they are doing.
- He judges the nations for their sins, especially for their mistreatment of Israel.
- There is a glorious future planned for Jerusalem and the Jewish nation.
- When the Messiah returns, they will by cleansed and restored to the glory of God in their midst. (Wiersbe)
In the meantime, God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. He is working in your life and in my life. He works in our hearts both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
LET IT GO
Keep us in step with You, Jesus, following Your will, doing it Your way, for Your glory.
May we stay on Your path going the same direction You are going!
