"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, …

You are Loved; Accept It
"O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in Me is thine help." Hosea 13:9 (KJV) Today we will be looking at the words for this verse from the past... The first of these verses is the summary, or contents, of all the rest (v. 9), where we have, 1. All the blame of Israel’s ruin …
Sowing in Righteousness
"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and rain righteousness upon you. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of …
This Evil is Come Upon Us
We are looking at a recorded prayer of Daniel today. Daniel is confessing the sins of his people, his nation while they are held captive in Babylon. He has read the prophet Jeremiah (Daniel 9:2), and saw the great need for the repentance of the people. The place to begin repentance is with myself. Hear …
Honoring the King of Heaven
For the most part chapter four of Daniel is the writing of Nebuchadnezzar, sharing his personal testimony of a tragic, yet humbling, and redeeming time of his life and reign as king of Babylon. He had grown proud and arrogant (4:28-30), and the King of heaven brought him down. The following are the final words …
He That Reveals Secrets
Do you have any secrets? Secrets that only you know, and you have shared with no one else; not even your husband, wife, friend, or any relative? Guess what. There is One who knows them. Whether you believe it or not there is One who knows your thoughts, your dreams, your wants and desires. He …
Captive and Useful
Whether we Christians would like to admit it or not we are strangers in a foreign land. That does not matter what part of the world we live in. We are both citizens and captives in our respective countries, and lands. We are citizens of nations, because we are in the world. We are captives …
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 them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the …
What God Has Said
In the book of Ezekiel and chapters 37 - 40 and following are writings of prophecy which have yet to happen. There is no portion of fulfillment. All are to be fulfilled at a later day in time. If you are fearful of the many of the events in our world. There is no need …
Sticks: Joseph and Judah
We have been looking at the prophecy of Ezekiel. Ezekiel was a captive in Babylon when he was given this prophecy. He spoke much of the nation's return to their homeland, but it would not take place until after a period of 70 years. In the Scripture and prophecy for today's study we see a …
The House of Israel
There are so many who are telling us that God is finished with Israel. That they are no longer God's chosen people or nation. However, for someone to say that they are going against both the Old Testament prophecies, and the teachings of the New Testament as well. Look at this prophecy through the prophet …
The Role of Egypt’s Rule
The nation of Egypt was at one time a world ruler. In the days before the captivity of Israel in Egypt, and during their captivity there the nation was a world ruler; even believed to have been the ruler of the known world at that time. What is God's purpose for Egypt? The answer to …
I The LORD Have Spoken…
There use to be a commercial on television of a financial firm called E. F. Hutton where in the midst of noisy crowds or other noises and such, a man would speak and all would get quiet. Then, a voice would say, "When E. F. Hutton speaks, people listen". I do not know if I …
A Gap to Stand In
Probably not the most profound title. Maybe not even a catchy one, but it is a title - "A Gap to Stand In". So let us stand in the gap. "Her priests have violated My law, and have profaned Mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they …
Fire in the Forests
No! This is not dealing with the devastating, and catastrophic wildfires out West. This is not dealing with any fires of our day. The fire of the forests of our text have to do with God's judgment upon Judah; and I do believe this nation called the United States of America needs to wake up …
