603 -The Lord Predicts Israel’s Disobedience

​The Lord Predicts Israel’s Disobedience

The Lord said to Moses, 

“The time has come for you to die. 

Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tabernacle, so that I may commission him there.” 

So, Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tabernacle. 

And the Lord appeared to them, in a pillar of cloud, that stood at the entrance to the sacred tent. 

The Lord said to Moses, 

“You are about to die and join your ancestors. 

After you are gone, these people will begin to worship foreign gods, the gods of the land where they are going. 

They will abandon Me …and break My covenant …the covenant that I have made with them. 

Then, My anger will blaze forth against them. 

I will abandon them, hiding My face from them, …and they will be devoured. Terrible trouble will come down on them, …and on that day, they will say, ‘These disasters have come down on us, because God is no longer among us!’ 

At that time, I will hide My face from them, because of all the evil that they commit, by worshiping other gods. 

“So, write down the words of this song, and teach it to the people of Israel. Help them learn it, so it may serve, as a witness, for Me, against them. For I will bring them into the land that I swore to give to their ancestors—a land flowing with milk and honey. There, they will become prosperous, eat all the food they want, and become fat. 

But they will begin to worship other gods; they will despise Me and break My covenant. And, when great disasters come down on them, this song will stand, as evidence against them, for it will never be forgotten, by their descendants. 

I know the intentions of these people, even now, before they have entered the land that I swore to give them.” 

Deuteronomy 31:14–21 (NLT)

Praise be to God!

1427- Isaiah 42 part 2

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 2 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises, from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry; and He crush all his enemies. He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant. I will level the mountains and hills and blight all their greenery. I will turn the rivers into dry land and will dry up all the pools. I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; ...

1426 - Isaiah 42 part 1

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 1  “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout, or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed, or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all, who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart, until justice prevails, throughout the earth. Even distant lands, beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.*” God, the Lord, created the heavens, and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says, “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, rele...

1251 - Psalm 102 (part-1)

Psalm 102 (part-1) A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me, in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink, because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem*—and now is the...
