"And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years. And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and …

The Promises of GOD for His People
There are many people, professing Christians, who are being taught, and who believe that the LORD God is through with the people of God of the Old Testament known as the Hebrews or Israel. How, if that be so, can we as Christians have confidence that He will not be, someday, through with us? If …
The Compassion of God
Concern and Compassion took a cruise on an ocean liner. While they were out looking over the outer railing someone fell overboard. Concern cried out, “Man overboard”. Compassion cried out, “Man overboard”, and dived in to rescue the imperiled man. The above story shows the difference in concern and compassion. One cries out, but does …

When Mourning for Sin Does Not Come
"Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, …
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 …
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 Children of Israel Shall Come
"In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.

The Teaching of Rebellion
Jeremiah did not enjoy preaching the message which God gave him to preach. He loved the people, the priests (they were members of his own family), the princes, and the kings. He loved the temple and what it represented. Most of all Jeremiah loved God and His commandments. When Hananiah the prophet preached that God …
Threshing
The Threshing “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall …

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 …
