"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." Daniel 1:8 (KJB) Four Hebrew youths plus more had been taken from their homeland …

The Greatest Inheritance
"And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession." Ezekiel 44:28 (KJB) These latter chapters of Ezekiel's prophecy are of a future temple in Israel. It is often referred to by today's teachers of prophecy as the Millennial …
Three Years Ago
My reading for today (September 09, 2018) was Ezekiel 41 - 43. The Law of the Temple “Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew …
I Will Be Enquired Of…
The Old Testament is chocked full of God's amazing grace and mercy. I have learned over the years to view the history of the Old Testament as a picture of my life, and how God not only is working in me but also in all who have been redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. …
Israel to Dwell Safely
Dwell Safely From August 2016... “Thus saith the Lord GOD; ‘When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to My servant Jacob. And …
The Defiled
Sin is not just personal. It is not just something you do against yourself. Sin; yes, even our own "Private", "Personal" sin hurts others. Those closest to you; your family, friends, your fellow workers at your place of employment. Even more and worse my sin and yours offends God. Hear God speaking through the prophet …
I Will Not Be Enquired of by You
It does not sound encouraging, comforting, or motivational. Does it? Some elders of Israel in the captivity of Babylon came to Ezekiel the prophet seeking God's counsel. They had not sought it before. Now they show some interest. God is not our spare tire. Hear the word of the LORD... "And it came to pass …
The Grace of GOD is Greater Far…
My reading of Scripture today was Ezekiel 15 - 16. Chapter 16 describes the sins of Judah and Israel, and why God judged them, the sins of Sodom and their judgment (16:49-50). We can see clearly that God does not tolerate sin. Sin is what God calls sin; it does not matter at all what …
The Learned, Hearing Servant
My daily reading was Isaiah 46 - 50. I pray some are following along. "The Lord GOD hath given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The …
The Peril of Haughty Daughters
"Moreover the LORD saith, 'Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover …
Redeemed from All Our Sins
"A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul …
Our Iniquities, Our Enemies, and Our GOD
"O remember not against us former iniquities: let Thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, 'Where is their God?' Let him …
Wisdom and Understanding
Many a man and many a woman have perceived themselves as being wise, and able to understand the ways of God and men. No individual male or female can understand God. If we could understand God, then we would be god. There are times I do not even understand myself. How can I a finite …
In the Day of His Anger
There may be some; maybe many who profess to know God and say something like, "God does not get angry..." I have heard some say, "Jesus never got angry"; and that statement completely shows their ignorance. Does God get angry? For those who love Jesus; does Jesus, did Jesus ever get angry? Well let us …
The Beautiful and Glorious
"In that day shall the Branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even …
