Why? The Jewish People-Part3

In Isaiah 43:7 G-d is speaking to Jacob and Israel as he says"Even every one that is called by my name for I have created him for my glory. I have formed him yea, I have made him."


G-d separated the Jewish people from the rest of the world to bring glory to himself.  When the world looks at the Jewish people they know there is a G-d.  The ones that hate G-d will hate the Jew also.  The Jew reminds people there is a G-d. 

Why? The Jewish People-Part 2

Again , G-d formed the Jewish people to show the world that He is G-d and there is no god beside Him. Isaiah 43:10-15 "Ye are my witnesses, saith the L-RD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no G-d formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I am the L-RD, and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the L-RD, that I am G-d. Yea, before the day was I am he and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Thus saith the L-RD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. I am the L-RD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King."

Here the L-RD G_d tells the Jewish people that they are His witnesses that He is G-d and than G-d tells the Jewish people who He is, their G-d, Redeemer, Saviour, Holy One, King. All these titles can be found in the Person of Yeshua The Messiah

Why? G-d chose the Jewish People

G-d chose the Jewish people "...because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt."  Deuteronomy 4:37.

"The L-RD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people, for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the L-RD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the L-RD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.  Know therefore that the L-RD thy G-d, he is G-d, the faithful G-d, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;"    There is also a WARNING "And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face."  Deuteronomy 7:7-

Oh, that we might be a blessing to our children like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were to their children.  Because of their faithfulness and believing G-d's word they were able to bless their children to many generations.

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers day to all the dads.  G-d is the supreme example of  a caring father.  Our heavenly Father never leaves us nor forsakes us.  All his rules are for our good that we may lead peaceable, contented lives. May you all care for your children in such a way.

Singing with Power

"It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the L-RD: and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the L-RD saying, For he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the L-RD;" IIChronicles5:13

Persecution

Have you noticed the believing community in the USA views persecution as a dirty word? Somehow the flesh has come to expect the blessings of G-d as one's right and anyone interrupting those blessing is anti-G-d. and headed to hell. ( A lot of people that don't interrupt G-d's blessings is headed for hell. It is very normal for people to be headed for hell. It is abnormal for people to be headed for heaven)

It has been said everywhere in the world is experiencing revival except the USA. You can also see everywhere in the world is experiencing persecution except the USA.

There is a Bible principle about persecution found in Exodus. The Jews were being persecuted by Pharaoh. The Jews did not worship the many gods of the Gentiles. Pharaoh did not want them to become more than the people of the land so Pharaoh afflicted them including having the male newborns killed as soon as they were born.(the wicked practice of abortion is not new) The Bible states "But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied." Exodus 1:12 Affliction or persecution brings about people coming to know the L-rd Yeshua (Jesus) as their Redeemer.

We see this same principle in The New Covenant when believing Jews were persecuted at Jerusalem and scattered because of the persecution, causing the word of G-d to spread. This caused Christians to multiply.

As people are being persecuted in other places they are showing love to their tormentors and giving a witness of G-d's grace that bring non believers to the L-rd himself. OH, to have such love, to think of others first, the lost and unbelieving. To want what is best for the tormentor more than what would be convenient for oneself. To be willing to suffer for the good of the lost as Yeshua suffered for the good of all. I pray I would look to Yeshua, the author and finisher of my faith in such times and lift him up so others could be drawn unto him. Wouldn't you want to have G-d's power and grace to do that also? To be able to put Yeshua first in life is a goal worth striving for.

How much money is enough?

How much money is enough for you to make or have? Is just a little bit more always in your thoughts? Some people spend their whole lives gathering money and are very good at it.
The Bible has a question ""For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 The answer is , there is no profit . Money will not spare a person from judgement of G-d.
Only by humbling ourselves, repenting of our rebellion against G-d and faith toward our L-Rd Yeshua will we have true profit that will never be taken away from us or lost.
