Ezekiel's 28th Chapter ~ I am the Lord their God


 





We hear Steadfast Love of the Lord God, our Father, Abba in Jesus Christ many times. And cannot become the people with tired ears and worn hearts. Christmas is Joyeux Noel, renewal of the fire in us, The Lord making life meaningful and warm. The strength in us is Joy of the Lord. Jesus. Jesus the Lord. Jesus Himself.  The deep magic this has been loved and stirred within us, always present.

Let us soak in the Holy Spirit and His Plan covering His Good Creation, the dawn of time and the continuation into the eternal. The Lord Jesus Triumphant. Ours.


Luke 1: 67-79


Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
    for He has visited and redeemed His people
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
    in the house of his servant David

As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old,
that we should be saved from our enemies
    and from the hand of all who hate us;
to show the mercy promised to our fathers
    and to remember His Holy Covenant

The oath that He swore to our father Abraham, 
to grant us
    that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve Him without fear

    In holiness and righteousness before Him
 all our days.
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
    for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways,

to give knowledge of salvation to His people
    in the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy 
of our God.

    Whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    to guide our feet into the way of peace.



2100 years old
God Fishes Among the Living!

To know the Scriptures is
to know
the Power of The Living God.





Ezekiel was a very minor priest. He was taken in the second sack of Judea, 596 B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar II's attempt to make Judea a puppet state of the Chaldean Babylonian Empire.  His beloved wife died making the 1,000 mile walk.  And as he arrived, Nebuchadnezzar II scanned the exiles, looking for a place to have leadership to give humanitarian aid. We read about this in the first Chapter of Daniel. Emperor Nebuchadnezzar was a forerunner of human rights, Cyrus walked in his footsteps trying to be goodness and mercy. Ezekiel was immediately given High Priest status in the leadership quest. And Ezekiel was given one of the few private homes, allowing him rest to be Priest: Nebechandnezzer was allowed slaves he quickly called exiles, to gather and worship with all the Jews on their Sabbath day.







Luke's First Chapter is the continuation of 

Ezekiel's 28th Chapter


“And for the house of Israel there shall be no more 
a brier to prick or a thorn to hurt them among 
all their neighbors 
who have treated them with contempt. 
Then they will know 
that I am the Lord God.

“Thus says the Lord God: 
When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, 
and 
manifest my holiness in them 
in the sight of the nations, 
then they shall dwell in their own land 
that I gave to my servant Jacob. 

And they shall dwell securely in it, 
and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. 
They shall dwell securely, 
when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. 
Then they will know that 
I am the Lord their God.”


Jesus Living Water

David grew up knowing his generation wasn't far removed from the Exodus. 500 years later, Judea was exiled again to Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar II heard from the Lord, the Babylonian Empire would not remain the lush gardens between the rivers of Eden. The Lord didn't like His Children being delicately imprisoned.  The Exodus is awe-inspiring, more inspiring are the mercies of God as His Children knew His name and nature.

The Scriptures record the mercy of captors and their punishment. Cyrus is probably known for his humanitarian aid because the Scriptures record them. These Empires did not continue or rise again.

The Roman Empire stood in judgment of Jesus. And this banishment didn't happen again, the banishment of Israel until the natural aged death of Jesus in 70 A.D. The forgiveness of Jesus gave those who had seen the Nature of God revealed would live their lives knowing Jesus and His Love.  Within 16 years, the Empire began to fear Jesus and persecute. Within 200 years, Christianity became a plethora. In the early 3rd Century, Christ was the source of Love, Comfort, Help and Teaching of the Empire. God travels forth.


1 Peter 4

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, 
since love covers a multitude of sins.

Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, 
as good stewards of God's varied grace

Whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God
Whoever serves, 
as one who serves by the strength that God supplies
—in order that in everything God 
may be glorified through Jesus Christ.

 To Him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. 
Amen.








The Gospel of Jesus Christ's birth 

Written beautifully in Luke and Matthew.  Mark begins His Gospel and speaks of a wilderness wanting to be tamed and John speaks of Light coming out of darkness.

 Isn't this the deepest desire for Jesus Christ?

Christmas can bring forth all of our deepest longings. Matthew begins with an engagement, the most important choice in life. Luke begins with a barren priest. God addresses all of these concerns by reaching out to hear, to heal, to love and to care. For all of our seasons in life, God is part of them. Just as God watched, with love, each day of Jesus' life on earth, the Light continues to shine for us.



Today, the marshes of Israel and the deserts are nourished and harvested. God knew when He said Israel is a land of milk and honey. History and Scripture record Hezekiah's time was as blessed, if not more blessed than David and Solomon. The people acted in accord with God's Heart and trusted Him to save them. This is Christmas! The Plan of God, our Father, in Jesus Christ.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
