"But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? Will ye rebel against the king? Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, He will prosper …

GOD’S Servant Kings and Leadership
"Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this. And the God that hath caused His name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, …
Be Not Afraid… For the Battle is Not Yours, But GOD’S
"Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation; and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus …

GOD Disciplines His People
"And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. Nevertheless they shall be his …
When We Are Disobedient to the LORD
"For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As Mine anger and My fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall My fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a …
Testifying in Rome
"And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the …
Paul and Jesus
"But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. And when he had so said, there arose a dissension …
Jesus Knows
Humanity; all of us, can be so excited about a person, event, or miraculous happening one moment, and the next turn our hearts and mind against it. I believe that is called "fickleness". There were some people in Jesus's day who wanted to make Him King when they heard Him teach and saw His miracles …
The Power of God
We ought always be amazed by the power of God. We ought always realize that God is working, moving, accomplishing His purposes in the world around us and in our own lives. Previous to the verses we look at today Jesus had been on the Mount called "Transfiguration", and He was speaking with Moses and …
The Journey to Jerusalem
This was Jesus's final journey to the city on the hill. He would not make it again, and He knew it. Yet, He journeyed to the place where He would die. Would you with joy, and passion go to the place you knew would mean your death? Of course you or I cannot know those …
The Battle for Jerusalem
Jerusalem is the city of peace. Yet there has never been a much peace seen for that city of God, and city of David. The battle seems to be ongoing; never ending. The Scripture we look at today even shows further battles set against the city as the nations of the world gather against her …
When GOD Sings
I have never thought much about it until this morning reading the prophet Zephaniah; but God does sing. I would think that He is a masterful singer, because He would be the Master of music. Hear the words of the prophet Zephaniah: "Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with …
Know the Judgment of the LORD
"Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? Shall he turn away, and not return? Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man …
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 be blown, …
For the Valley of Vision
"In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it." Isaiah 22:25 (KJV) From chapter 13 of Isaiah through chapter 23 there …
