  1. Joshua 6 The Reduction of Jericho

    -1 J

    Joshua 6 The Reduction of Jericho

    Jericho sat at the entrance to the route from the Jordan valley to the Saddle of Benjamin. As such it needed to be destroyed so that Joshua could leave the Israelite women and children behind in safety while the warriors moved west and fought the Canaanites. The events of the reduction of Jericho prefigure the seven trumpets of Revelation.

    What Does Succot Mean to Us?

    Succot means different things depending on who you believe yourself to be. For Jews, it is a remembrance of the time after the Exodus when God took them into the wilderness and they dwelt in tents. For most Christians it has very little significance. For Messianics, it has both historical meaning and prophetic significance. Historically, it is almost certainly when Christ was born. Prophetically, it may presage the Messianic Reign.

  3. Job 18-19 - Bildad's Second Accusation

    -6 J

    Job 18-19 - Bildad's Second Accusation

    In his second speech, Bildad describes what the wise believe is in store for the wicked. Since those very things are happening to Job, his accusation is that, despite what everyone had believed about him, Job is a wicked man.

  4. Joshua 4-5 Crossing the Jordan

    7 OCT.

    Joshua 4-5 Crossing the Jordan

    The crossing of the Jordan on dry ground and the meeting of the Commander of the Army of the LORD closes a chiasm that began with Moses at the burning bush and the crossing of the Red Sea. This was a definite morale booster for Israel and a source of great dismay to he inhabitants of Jericho who would have been able to watch the whole things from the city walls.

  5. The Test of Abundance

    5 OCT.

    The Test of Abundance

    In Dt 32 Moses lays out what will happen to Israel should they abandon God and entertain foreign gods. The descent in that passage begins with their extreme prosperity under God's blessing. That prosperity tempts them to look for a 'better deal' with the gods of the surrounding nations. In Mk 10, the rich young man asks what he lacks to inherit eternal life. Y'shua's answer, "Sell all you have and follow Me." is more than the young man can manage. The Bible does not teach poverty, so what's going on here?

  6. Job 15-17 - Eliphaz' Second Accusation

    2 OCT.

    Job 15-17 - Eliphaz' Second Accusation

    Eliphaz rebukes Job for insisting on his own wisdom. He says that Job's stiff neck is what is hindering God from showing him mercy.

  7. Joshua 2-3 Morale Check

    30 SEPT.

    Joshua 2-3 Morale Check

    The spies Joshua sent to Jericho had a very different focus than those Moses had sent 38 years before. Joshua's spies were to assess the morale and fighting spirit of the fortress Jericho that sat astride the route from the Jordan valley up to the saddle of Benjamin. Similarly, God stopped the flow of the Jordan so that Israel could cross dry shod. This served to assure the Israelites that God was indeed on their side and would help them to prevail.

  8. Days of Awe

    28 SEPT.

    Days of Awe

    The ten days between Yom Teruah and Yom Kipur are known as the days of awe. It is a time to take stock of what one has accomplished in the past year and plan for the future. In doing this, one can draw inspiration from Moses. His accomplishments during the last month of his life were truly great. One can also draw inspiration from the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. That event has catalyzed believers all over America and may turn out to be one Satan's great mistakes.
