In this episode, we explore Solomon's prayer at the dedication of the Temple in 1 Kings 8:22-30—a monumental moment in the story of the Bible. The construction of the Temple marks a major development in how God chooses to dwell with His people, not just identifying with Israel as a nation, but also with the city of Jerusalem and the Temple itself. Yet even as Solomon celebrates this, he acknowledges that God's presence is not confined to a building. Notably, God says that His Name will dwell there—a mysterious concept that both distinguishes and intertwines with other divine figures like the Angel of the Lord and the Spirit of God.But this episode also zooms in on how Solomon sees himself. He repeatedly calls himself and Israel “God's servant,” which stands in contrast to how God has spoken of Israel and David's royal line primarily as sons. While “servant” is a noble term and later becomes rich with prophetic significance—especially in Isaiah's “Servant Songs”—it still falls short of the intimacy and authority that comes from the status of sonship. Could Solomon's preference for “servant” over “son” reveal a deeper disconnect in how he viewed his relationship with God? And could this lack of sonship be a clue to his eventual fall?We close by drawing a powerful comparison to Jesus, the true Son of David, who fully embodies the “Servant of the Lord” prophesied in Isaiah 42:1-4 and quoted in Matthew 12:15-21. Jesus, unlike Solomon, delights and satisfies the longings in the heart of the Father to live in full and unhindered relatiojnship with an Israelite King. Jesus sees people not for their failures, but for their potential, partnering with God to restore what's broken and bring people into their true identity and destiny. Where Solomon fell short, Jesus kept going, showing us what it truly means to be both the Servant and the Son of the Father.Key Passages:1 Kings 8:22-30 Matthew 12:15-21Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music
There are a couple of religious leaders I begrudgingly admire despite their association with the cults of organized religion. Or, as Christopher Hitchens calls them and others of their ilk, the enemy. My admiration comes from a single utterance unique to each of them but are closely related in essence. The first of the leaders, Pope Francis, currently struggling to stave off his end of life, when he proclaimed, much to the dismay of the zealotry, who fear losing personal power above all, that all religions are a path to God. I cheered on his proclamation with as much vim and vigor as I did when Sínead ripped Pope John Paul II, protector of pedophile priests, picture in twain on live TV.

In this episode, we continue to explore the connection between King Solomon—whose name means "peace" and whose reign was marked by the absence of war (1 Kings 5:1–12)—and Jesus Christ, who is declared in Ephesians 2:14–16 to be our peace. But this passage in Ephesians is not just about the absence of external conflict; it's about the internal transformation that had to occur first in Jesus himself, and then in us.We dig into the developmental process that Jesus, as a Jewish man in relatio to Gentile people, underwent in order to become the source of peace. Ephesians gives us a rare glimpse into the spiritual and psychological work that took place in the flesh of Christ—where hostility towards people who were different and hostile towards him was ultimately put to death at the cross. This is especially shocking when we realize that Jesus, as a Jew, had to confront and overcome any and all fleshly, hostile impulses toward Gentiles - even toward the Gentiles who ultimately crucified him.Through this lens, the cross becomes not only the place where Christ died for us, but also the place where the hostility in Christ's flesh died, too. The cross was like a circumcision that finally cut away all hostility from the flesh of Jesus, fully deactivating it, and putting it to tdeath, making possible the creation and completion of a new humanity—one that was created in peace and oneness.We conclude by considering what it means for the same work that was accomplished in Jesus' flesh to now be accomplished in our flesh. The church is not simply called to believe this peace and oneness was developed in Christ, but to participate in it and embody it—a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, unified people whose peace flows not from mere tolerance or diplomacy, but from the very crucified flesh of Christ.Key Passages:1 Kings 5:1-12Ephesians 2:14-16Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music
Finding the Ultimate Trophy Wife. by Sustainer. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. No matter what they may admit to, every man desires to have an obedient, submissive, beautiful trophy wife. Conversely, every woman secretly desires to be a perfect, subservient possession who is adored and cared for, objectified and kept captive while provided firm direction and absolved of all guilt surrounding sexual latitude- since her sexual conduct is no longer her choice, but rather, her solemn and sacred marriage duty. Every man wants this. Every woman secretly longs for this.Through luck and industry, I have become a wealthy man. This alone is infinitely attractive to women. No matter what they may claim or espouse, how much they assert their feminism or independence, a woman desires a wealthy man to provide for them and offer financial security. Other than my wealth, and my sexual appetite, I am an utterly unremarkable man. Some women, more than you may imagine, are willing to exchange their full sexual servitude in for financial security and social status. My wife is such a woman.I found her in a gentleman's club. An upscale topless club where young women danced on stage in lingerie and revealing costumes, performing exotic dance routines for assembled clients while revealing their breasts and stripping to a G-string. Following their performance, the young girls would circulate among the patrons, making small talk and soliciting private lap dances in a more private setting in the back rooms of the club for large tips. This was the perfect resource to find what I was looking for. Firstly, it acted as a kind of living catalog. Without the absurd constraints and antiquated conventions of “dating”, I could quickly review a large number of potential trophy wives before beginning the indoctrination into my marriage and trophy wife training and optimization program. I am a businessman, and as such, I admire efficiency and a well-run process. In advance of my trophy wife assessment and selection I consulted with a friend who is a marriage counselor and a behavioral psychologist. He holds a Ph.D. in training psychology. After describing my objectives to him in obtaining the ideal trophy wife, he and I worked together closely under contract for months to create an optimal, scientifically configured, trophy wife selection, indoctrination and training program. This included an ongoing maintenance and administration routine for my eventual trophy wife. Once our perfect trophy wife curriculum was developed, I simply went to various upscale gentleman's clubs to locate the very best trophy wife to my specific tastes and purposes. She must have brown hair and brown eyes. Round cheeks and a full face with a round nose. Preferably European in heritage. While her figure must fall within very specific parameters for hip measurement, leg length, buttocks shape, overall height and weight, her breast size and shape are not critical at intake since modern breast augmentation surgery means that any girl can have any breasts. Perfect breasts exactly to my liking would be an add-on at a specific phase of the acquisition and indoctrination process. In fact, consultation with the cosmetic surgeon who was already contracted to perform my prospective trophy wife's optimization had given me specific guidelines to look for in shopping for the right candidate. It was best to start with a young girl, 18-20, who was a 32 or 34 B cup bra size. This would be the perfect platform for creating a large, firm, high-breasted girl who would be a tailor-made 32-34DD cup after upgrade. After her work was completed, she would have large, firm, high breasts with dark, upturned nipples atop big areolae that puffed out from her tits in a constant state of erection and apparent arousal. Her hips should be full, her buttocks round, firm and elevated, her waist trim and narrow, tapering down from her curvy, reproductive hips. Her legs should be moderately long with adequately full, not too-skinny calves and healthy, firm thighs since stockings are a particular fetish of mine, among many others. The perfect selection would be free of tattoos and, in the best of worlds, have nipples that were already large and dark in color, symmetrical and outsized to her breast size so they would scale up nicely to her new, much larger breasts. Puffy nipples are the most desirable, but if all other pre-existing physical factors are excellent, my cosmetic surgeon told me about a procedure whereby nipples and areolae could be enlarged, darkened and made to protrude more to my liking. I personally inspected a young girl he had performed the puffy-nipple enhancement procedure on, and the results were remarkable. Once my selection criteria, recruiting and indoctrination processes were finalized, I went out looking. After several enjoyable weeks of shopping at local gentleman's clubs there was an epiphany. A young girl, 5'3" tall, long, brown hair, enormous brown eyes, swaying hips, round buttocks and the most beautiful face and button nose I had ever seen, sat in my lap and asked if I wanted a dance. It was impossible to refuse. I suspected immediately that I had found my quarry. She danced for me as I reclined in a lounge chair in a private room, swaying in the shadowy light to soft music, then straddling my lap, stripping off her sheer, lacy bra, grabbing my hands and placing them directly on her breasts. Then she began to gyrate on my swelling erection, clad only in a little, shiny black thong panty. She leaned forward, pressing her tits to me, and whispered in my ear, “Back here you can do almost anything you want. $100 a song Sir.” I felt her natural tits, and they were quite nice, likely a large “B” or “C” cup. An excellent starting point. Her hips were full and girlish, her buttocks spectacular and round, the skin smooth and even in tone from what I could see in this light. Her lips were large and I felt them on my neck when I leaned forward. Somewhat unusual for an exotic dancer to kiss a client on the neck. Her arms and legs were beautiful, her overall figure full and round. And that hair, my God, that beautiful mane of cascading, natural brown hair. Luxurious. The gentle grinding of her thin thong panty crotch on my erect cock inside my pants had me soaked in precum. After three songs, I grabbed her firmly beneath the arms and moved her slightly away from me. She had a slightly surprised expression, then smiled, “Enough?” she asked. “I have a proposition for you, young lady. Would you be willing to meet outside this club for dinner, for, perhaps, two or three hours? It would only be dinner and conversation, I assure you, in a public place. Nothing to risk. Everything to gain.” She made an overly quizzical expression. “Oh. A proposition? Ah. You know we aren't supposed to be doing that.” “Five thousand dollars for dinner young lady. And I buy your outfit for the night. No funny business. No sex. Nothing weird. You and I, dinner in a nice restaurant and a few hours of conversation. That's all. No risk. All reward. What do you say?” “Um. Sounds nice. Possibly. Maybe…” She cooed. She circled her thong-covered hips one more time on my lap, pressing down on my hard cock inside my pants extra hard. “You buy one more dance, and I'll think about it. But I need to know your real name. I'm going to check you out online before I decide. In the meantime, are your pants still getting tighter… and wetter? I'm soaked. My panties are almost soaked through. I'm going to have to go back and change after I'm done with you.” In Part 2, I make a unique proposal to the young lady “I am looking for a wife who will perform any and all sex acts with proficiency and enthusiasm at my command. This includes sharing and group sex, bondage, exhibitionism, oral, vaginal and anal sex along with other activities such as performing and appearing in pornographic videos and photographs for public distribution. In return for this arrangement, my wife will live in opulence and receive a generous stipend, along with other material benefits. After a systematic and exhaustive search for the best candidate to be my obedient, entirely promiscuous wife, you are my choice young lady.” This is what I would tell her tonight at dinner. In addition to a sumptuous dinner in a beautiful restaurant, this would be the offer on the table. It took some time, but the young girl I had found and selected agreed to my dinner invitation. Knowing that we act how we dress, I had provided her wardrobe for the night: a simple but elegant, snug-fitting black dress with a low neckline, a Frederick's of Hollywood Exxtreme Cleavage add-2 cup size push-up bra in black satin, a very small, sheer, black G-string panty, nude stay-up thigh-highs and delicate black, strappy, open-toe heels. There was also an elegant pearl necklace and earrings in the ensemble I provided to her. It was a simple outfit, but one that highly sexualized her in an elegant way. To complete her outfit, I included a crystal vial of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium perfume, because no ensemble is complete without a treat for all of the senses- sight, touch, and smell. She received her wardrobe by courier two days before our dinner date. Dinner would be at a friend of mine's restaurant, a five-star place on the river downtown. I reserved the best table and paid the restaurant in advance to remove the two tables closest to us so we could speak candidly without being overheard. My new little whore was a vision when she stepped out of her Uber. She had cleaned up incredibly well, and the young lady put obvious effort into her appearance for our dinner meeting tonight. That was a promising sign. Her hair was in loose curls, cascading down her back in a bouncy mane of luxurious brunette. Her make-up was without flaw, understated and elegant. Her lipstick suggested a hint of drama, but was not too apparent. The pearls draped perfectly from her neck to her décolletage, and the little earrings added a well-coordinated finish to her beautiful presentation. I judged her sizes well. Her firm breasts heaved at the top of the snug, plunging little black dress. The black, add 2-cup-size 34C push-up bra I sent her looked opulent under this dress. Her delicious young cleavage was swollen, soft, round and smooth, bulging up and out of her neckline. I'm sure that tiny, snug little black sheer thong panty was just barely there underneath her dress and above her nude thigh-highs. As a dancer, she was no-doubt waxed smooth down there. This, of course, would remain my ongoing requirement, one of many to come. She looked absolutely magnificent. Better than I had hoped. She was beginning to seem even more like a fine candidate for a wife. I held the door, she stepped through. I couldn't help but notice her pretty little buttocks under the snug, little black dress. It was petite, high, protruding and firm. There was a noticeable sway to her alluring walk. Not a hint of panty line because of the little G-string I sent her. The satiny black fabric of the dress seemed to glide just slightly over her smooth, mostly nude skin underneath. She handled the high heels well for a young girl, no doubt a skill acquired in her profession. Good. Very promising. The hostess directed us to my table. My little candidate had the poise to stand politely while I pulled her chair out for her to be seated. This was an excellent sign. It meant she was somehow refined. How a little 18-year old topless dancer learned this poise, I had no idea, but it boded well. We sat near the huge window overlooking the river. Best seat in the restaurant. Most private too. “I hope you enjoy our dinner my dear, and our conversation. You are truly a vision tonight. You look magnificent. Everything fit well, I trust?” “It did. Not sure how you figured out my sizes so well, but even the shoes, and the other things… They all fit perfectly. Thank you. Ah, do I get to…” “Keep them?” I returned. “Yes. Am I supposed to keep all this?” “These items are yours young lady, for accepting my humble invitation. I appreciate it very much. It's a delight to be here with you. Truly. You look so beautiful. No one could make this ensemble look as alluring, and my tastes are very discriminating. Actually, you are much more beautiful here, tonight, than at your workplace. That says a lot.” She sat quietly for a moment, glanced down, then seemed to summon some resolve and looked up at me. “Thank you.” There was a noticeable lean forward in her posture suddenly. The waiter appeared at just that instant, introduced himself, took drink orders and left a list of appetizers to start the evening. His arrival quelled whatever it was she had leaned forward to ask. He stepped away. She began. “What is this about? I mean, why did you ask me out?” She was right to the point. Admirable. Suggests that perhaps others had dealt with her less than honestly. “I want to make a proposition to you. It is a significant one, and I wager it will take some time on your part to fully consider it, as well such a proposition should. Along with my proposition comes a plan. And a proposal. Literally.” She remained seated upright, but now looking at me with very wide, very brown, eyes. “I'm interested in recruiting a wife.” Silence hung in the air. Her posture frozen. Continuing to fix her wide eyes on me. I calmly reached for my water glass and sipped some Perrier. Let the comment hang in the now-heavy air. She reached for her glass, likely in awkward mimicry but also, I wager, because her mouth was suddenly dry. “I'm sorry My Dear. Let me explain further. I'm a busy, and systematic man. People say that I am very focused. I say that is normal, and all else is abnormal. When I set about a project, I make a deliberate plan. And I make lofty goals. Excellence in everything I do. Simplicity in my plans. And always, strict honesty and openness. Some people find this awkward.” I fixed my look on her, not glaring, but looking into her wide, brown eyes with sincerity. “Young lady, you are perfection. You are beautiful. Beautiful beyond description, and this is a magnificent gift. You are poised. I don't know how you've acquired this quality, but it is rare today. Especially for a young lady. In only the last fifteen minutes since our arrival tonight I've observed that in you. The way you stepped out of the car when you arrived. You let me open the door to the restaurant for you. Waited for me to do it. You stood politely and in a dignified manner while I pulled your chair out for you. I'm not sure where you learned these things, but they are valuable to me. Precious even. As valuable as your appearance, which, as I've said, is absolutely opulent.” She appeared to ease somewhat. Soften. But a learned cynicism and caution remained. I could see that. “So, I am looking for a wife. A beautiful, poised, submissive sexual servant wife. A devoted, capable and willing young lady to join me in life's finer things. Travel. Entertainment. And especially, sexual activities, a priority of mine. I'm interested in nearly every sexual activity. And I'd like you to join me in them if you find the terms of my proposal, and of course, myself, acceptable and to your agreement.” Her silence remained. She seemed frozen, taking all this in. I had expected that, so I decided to divert for a few moments and return the conversation to that of a simple dinner date. “But, enough of this business and life talk. Let's table my offer for now and simply enjoy the evening and try to get to know each other a little. That is, of course, the first step My Dear, and I am very thorough.” We placed an order for appetizers and drinks. Neither of us drank alcohol, another good sign. She appeared to relax some as the first course arrived and the conversation lightened. She began dancing at 18. Was going to turn 19 in six weeks. I noted her impending birthday. She revealed little, but ask many questions. Some were remarkably matrimonial, which was a good sign. She asked me about how I made a living. When the expanse of my ventures became apparent, she did well to not appear overly impressed, as though it was common to her. “Have you ever been married?” She asked. I told her I had been too busy building my businesses. I told her I never felt I was in a position to make an offer like I was proposing now, and that I knew it would be extraordinary to find a girl to agree to my terms without significant incentives. The conversation lapsed back to my offer. “Listen young lady, I know my offer is incredibly forward, very presumptuous- at least now it is, and you have almost no reason to take it seriously. I realize this, and I respect any cynicism. It is well founded in today's world.” She fumbled with a piece of shrimp on her plate, licked her beautifully polished finger, swigged some Perrier, and kept her huge, brown eyes on me as I spoke. “But, you must acknowledge the practicality of my offer. Consider the alternatives, in your future, your life. And, I intend to prove to you that my offer is authentic and trustworthy before you should even offer a response.” Silence from her. She dabbed the corner of her mouth with the napkin from her lap. For an eighteen-year-old girl, she was accomplished at keeping her cool, holding her cards close. “This is a lot to consider young lady. Allow me to make an interim suggestion. Think about my offer for a few days. If you would like to explore it further, completely without commitment or obligation, then join me on a holiday. Perhaps we can visit Thailand, a favorite of mine. Or, Sri Lanka. I know of a beautiful resort there with over-water bungalows. It's up to you. Perhaps you'd enjoy a week in Nice, France. Another favorite of mine. At the Hotel Negresco along the Promenade des Anglais. I know beautiful cafés there. If you love coffee, you'll love the breakfasts. And the bakeries.” The waiter returned with dinner menus. “Consider my offer during this upcoming week young lady, and let's enjoy our dinner. We have plenty of time to discuss the specifics. For tonight, let's just enjoy each other's company, my friend's wonderful dining and a beautiful evening, made all the more beautiful by you.” by Sustainer for Literotica .

My little candidate had the poise to stand politely while I pulled her chair out for her to be seated. This was an excellent sign. It meant she was somehow refined. How a little 18-year old topless dancer learned this poise, I had no idea, but it boded well. We sat near the huge window overlooking the river. Best seat in the restaurant. Most private too. “I hope you enjoy our dinner my dear, and our conversation. You are truly a vision tonight. You look magnificent. Everything fit well, I trust?” “It did. Not sure how you figured out my sizes so well, but even the shoes, and the other things… They all fit perfectly. Thank you. Ah, do I get to…” “Keep them?” I returned. “Yes. Am I supposed to keep all this?” “These items are yours young lady, for accepting my humble invitation. I appreciate it very much. It's a delight to be here with you. Truly. You look so beautiful. No one could make this ensemble look as alluring, and my tastes are very discriminating. Actually, you are much more beautiful here, tonight, than at your workplace. That says a lot.” She sat quietly for a moment, glanced down, then seemed to summon some resolve and looked up at me. “Thank you.” There was a noticeable lean forward in her posture suddenly. The waiter appeared at just that instant, introduced himself, took drink orders and left a list of appetizers to start the evening. His arrival quelled whatever it was she had leaned forward to ask. He stepped away. She began. “What is this about? I mean, why did you ask me out?” She was right to the point. Admirable. Suggests that perhaps others had dealt with her less than honestly. “I want to make a proposition to you. It is a significant one, and I wager it will take some time on your part to fully consider it, as well such a proposition should. Along with my proposition comes a plan. And a proposal. Literally.” She remained seated upright, but now looking at me with very wide, very brown, eyes. “I'm interested in recruiting a wife.” Silence hung in the air. Her posture frozen. Continuing to fix her wide eyes on me. I calmly reached for my water glass and sipped some Perrier. Let the comment hang in the now-heavy air. She reached for her glass, likely in awkward mimicry but also, I wager, because her mouth was suddenly dry. “I'm sorry My Dear. Let me explain further. I'm a busy, and systematic man. People say that I am very focused. I say that is normal, and all else is abnormal. When I set about a project, I make a deliberate plan. And I make lofty goals. Excellence in everything I do. Simplicity in my plans. And always, strict honesty and openness. Some people find this awkward.” I fixed my look on her, not glaring, but looking into her wide, brown eyes with sincerity. “Young lady, you are perfection. You are beautiful. Beautiful beyond description, and this is a magnificent gift. You are poised. I don't know how you've acquired this quality, but it is rare today. Especially for a young lady. In only the last fifteen minutes since our arrival tonight I've observed that in you. The way you stepped out of the car when you arrived. You let me open the door to the restaurant for you. Waited for me to do it. You stood politely and in a dignified manner while I pulled your chair out for you. I'm not sure where you learned these things, but they are valuable to me. Precious even. As valuable as your appearance, which, as I've said, is absolutely opulent.” She appeared to ease somewhat. Soften. But a learned cynicism and caution remained. I could see that. “So, I am looking for a wife. A beautiful, poised, submissive sexual servant wife. A devoted, capable and willing young lady to join me in life's finer things. Travel. Entertainment. And especially, sexual activities, a priority of mine. I'm interested in nearly every sexual activity. And I'd like you to join me in them if you find the terms of my proposal, and of course, myself, acceptable and to your agreement.” Her silence remained. She seemed frozen, taking all this in. I had expected that, so I decided to divert for a few moments and return the conversation to that of a simple dinner date. “But, enough of this business and life talk. Let's table my offer for now and simply enjoy the evening and try to get to know each other a little. That is, of course, the first step My Dear, and I am very thorough.” We placed an order for appetizers and drinks. Neither of us drank alcohol, another good sign. She appeared to relax some as the first course arrived and the conversation lightened. She began dancing at 18. Was going to turn 19 in six weeks. I noted her impending birthday. She revealed little, but ask many questions. Some were remarkably matrimonial, which was a good sign. She asked me about how I made a living. When the expanse of my ventures became apparent, she did well to not appear overly impressed, as though it was common to her. “Have you ever been married?” She asked. I told her I had been too busy building my businesses. I told her I never felt I was in a position to make an offer like I was proposing now, and that I knew it would be extraordinary to find a girl to agree to my terms without significant incentives. The conversation lapsed back to my offer. “Listen young lady, I know my offer is incredibly forward, very presumptuous- at least now it is, and you have almost no reason to take it seriously. I realize this, and I respect any cynicism. It is well founded in today's world.” She fumbled with a piece of shrimp on her plate, licked her beautifully polished finger, swigged some Perrier, and kept her huge, brown eyes on me as I spoke. “But, you must acknowledge the practicality of my offer. Consider the alternatives, in your future, your life. And, I intend to prove to you that my offer is authentic and trustworthy before you should even offer a response.” Silence from her. She dabbed the corner of her mouth with the napkin from her lap. For an eighteen-year-old girl, she was accomplished at keeping her cool, holding her cards close. “This is a lot to consider young lady. Allow me to make an interim suggestion. Think about my offer for a few days. If you would like to explore it further, completely without commitment or obligation, then join me on a holiday. Perhaps we can visit Thailand, a favorite of mine. Or, Sri Lanka. I know of a beautiful resort there with over-water bungalows. It's up to you. Perhaps you'd enjoy a week in Nice, France. Another favorite of mine. At the Hotel Negresco along the Promenade des Anglais. I know beautiful cafés there. If you love coffee, you'll love the breakfasts. And the bakeries.” The waiter returned with dinner menus. “Consider my offer during this upcoming week young lady, and let's enjoy our dinner. We have plenty of time to discuss the specifics. For tonight, let's just enjoy each other's company, my friend's wonderful dining and a beautiful evening, made all the more beautiful by you.” by Sustainer for Literotica .

LISTENER WARNING: There is a clip of more graphic explanation of circumcision so you may not want to listen in with your children.In this episode, we explore the unique way King Solomon is portrayed in 1 Kings 5:1–12 as a man of peace—not merely in terms of foreign diplomacy, but as someone internally at rest, in contrast to his father David, who is remembered as a man of war. While Solomon's peaceful reign provided practical stability—no enemies, no major conflicts— that enabled to engage in a seven year long building project, it also reflected an inner disposition of peace and harmony that made him a fitting candidate to build the temple of the Lord.But the story of Solomon initiating the bulding of the Temple is not without its warnings. We trace a subtle “breadcrumb” of Solomon's future fall—his reliance on Hiram, king of Tyre, for skilled labor. This decision marks a quiet departure from the Spirit-empowered craftsmanship that characterized the building of the Tabernacle in the wilderness. Was Israel lacking in ability—or was Solomon leaning more on foreign alliances than on God?Even so, Solomon's collaboration with Hiram also prefigures something hopeful: Israel's fruitfulness blessing the nations, reminiscent of Joseph's provisional leadership through Egypt during a worldwide famine. This theme of peace, provision, and temple-building finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, whom Ephesians 2 proclaims as our peace. Join us as we uncover how Solomon's reign and temple project offer a glimpse—both hopeful and cautionary—of the greater peace and and dwelling place of God that Christ would build.Key Passages:1 Kings 5:1-121 Chronicles 22:1-5 David demonstrates that there are skilled workers available in Israel1 Chronicles 22:6-8; 28:2-3 - David was characterized as a man of war, implying it was not just the existence of external enemies and conflicts that hindered him from being the builder of the temple.

In this episode, we explore the theme of rest through the figure of Solomon, whom God calls a Man of Rest in 1 Chronicles 22:5-10. Unlike his father David—a man of war, conflict, and tension—Solomon's identity as a man of rest uniquely qualified him to build the temple, the place where God's presence would dwell among His people. This connects to Deuteronomy 12:1-11, where God promises Israel that they will one day experience rest from their enemies, allowing them to establish a central place of worship.But Solomon's rest ultimately points us to someone greater—Jesus. In Matthew 11:25-30, Jesus invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for true rest. Unlike David, who was caught in the tensions of war, or Solomon, whose rest eventually unraveled, Jesus perfectly embodied rest by remaining connected with the Father, even in the midst of conflict with the religious leaders.As we close, we reflect on how Jesus models for us what it means to rest in the Father. In a world filled with tension, striving, and spiritual battles, He calls us to receive His yoke—His way of life—so that we too may experience the deep, abiding rest that comes from living in communion with God.Join us as we uncover the connection between Solomon's rest, God's promise to Israel, and the ultimate rest we find in Jesus.Key Passages:Deuteronomy 12:1-111 Chronicles 22:5-10Matthew 11:25-30Joshua said to have been given rest - Joshua 21:44David said to have been given rest - 2 Samuel 7:1Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music
In this episode, we explore the unparalleled wealth, wisdom, and international influence of King Solomon as recorded in 1 Kings 4:20-34. Under Solomon's reign, Israel's prosperity reached its peak—not through military conquest but through diplomatic agreements. Surrounding nations entered into peace treaties and vassal relationships with Israel, paying tribute in exchange for protection and trade. While this economic expansion brought immense wealth, we note that God never explicitly commanded Israel to receive tribute from other nations. Did Solomon's financial success reflect divine blessing, or did it foreshadow deeper compromises to come? It definitely ran against the grain of God's desire for Israelite kings recorded in Deuteronomy 17.We then examine Solomon's fame as the wisest man in the world. His renown drew rulers from distant lands, eager to hear his insights and, by extension, learn of Israel's God. This moment of international recognition serves as a powerful image of God's wisdom shining through His chosen king—yet it also raises questions about the trajectory of Solomon's reign. Would Solomon be lifted up with pride as he rose in fame? Unfortuantley, this is another bread crumb the writer of 1 Kings shows us. Finally, we compare Solomon's wisdom and influence with Jesus, the "one greater than Solomon." In Matthew 2:1-2, wise men from the East traveled to worship Jesus, not because of his accomplishments, but simply because of who he was - the prophesied King of the Jews. While Solomon's wisdom attracted kings seeking counsel, Jesus' very presence drew the wise men from afar to worship him. If Jesus' beginnings surpassed those of Solomon, how much greater will his kingdom be in the end?Key Passages:1 Kings 4:20-34Deuteronomy 17:14-20 The laws for Israelite kings.James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.Matthew 2:1-2Map of Solomon's Administrative Districts Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

This is the first episode of our new series on The Rise and Fall of King Solomon. In this series, we explore how Solomon's life serves as an archetype—not only for the development of human nature and leadership but also for God's vision for Israel and the nations.In this episode, we begin with Solomon's birth and the significance of the two names he receives—one from his father, David, and another from the Lord Himself, notably through a prophet. These names hint at the tension that will shape his reign: the promise of divine favor and the challenge of living up to it.We then turn to the dramatic events surrounding Solomon's rise to the throne. His kingship was not a smooth transition—it was contested by his brother Adonijah, supported by a priest and a military general - but conveniently, no prophet signed on to it. Likewise, Solomon's anointing evidenced a lack of prophetic influence, being anointed solely by a Zadok the priest alone, which in turn foreshadowed a declining prophetic influence in Solomon's reign. This missing prophetic element would prove disastrous as Solomon's heart drifted from God. The prophets were meant to keep Israel's leaders aligned with God's purposes, yet the absence of a prophetic voice in the key moments of Solomon's leadership and development contributed to an underlying weakness in his leadership—one that would later lead to his downfall.We close by contrasting Solomon's kingship with that of Jesus, the true King of Israel. Unlike Solomon, Jesus willingly submitted to the prophetic voice of his day - John the Baptist - embracing John's baptism as a sign of obedience and alignment with God's will. This contrast reveals a profound truth: great leadership is not about personal ambition or unchecked power but about walking in step with God's will.Key Passages:2 Samuel 12:24-25 1 Kings 1:5-10, 32-40Matthew 3:13-17Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

In this episode, we explore Psalm 72, a royal psalm that captures David's heartfelt prayer over his son Solomon, asking God to make him a righteous and just king. But this psalm is more than a simple prayer—it reveals God's own vision for justice, leadership, and how Israel could be a blessing to the nations.One of the most remarkable aspects of Psalm 72 is how it establishes justice for the poor as the true test of a king's righteousness. David does not pray for Solomon to be defined by military success or economic prosperity. Instead, he pleads with God to make his son a ruler who judges with fairness and defends the rights of the poor and oppressed. In God's eyes, the measure of a leader's righteousness is not found in their strength, but in their commitment to protecting and uplifting the most vulnerable in society.David also envisions that if the king rules justly, God will extend his influence beyond Israel to the nations. This is a striking implication—that justice is not meant to remain confined within the borders of Israel. Instead, God desires to see it scaled and reproduced, not only in every sector of Israelite society but across every nation and people. A just ruler is not only a blessing to his own people but a light to the world, modeling God's heart for justice on a global scale.Perhaps most significantly, this psalm connects David's vision of justice with God's covenant with Abraham. The prayer reflects the ancient promise that through Abraham's offspring, all nations of the earth would be blessed. David sees justice as something that should extend outward from Israel, fulfilling God's original intention to bless the nations through His chosen people.As we reflect on this psalm today, we must ask ourselves: How do we, as sons and daughters of God, embody His heart for justice? Do we advocate for the poor and the oppressed as God desires? If God were to “scale” and reproduce what we are doing, would it bring about justice—or something else? This episode challenges us to examine our own role in advancing God's justice and to consider how we can align our lives with His vision for righteousness in the world.Key Passages:Psalm 72Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

In this episode, we explore the final recorded words of King David in2 Samuel 23:1-7, where Israel's greatest king reflects on his life and reign. At the end of his journey—after the sins of Bathsheba and the turmoil with Absalom—David ensures that one message remains clear:God Himself declares that the way a king rules is through justice and the fear of the Lord.But this divine decree isn't just about Israel. God emphasizes that the righteous king rulesover all people with justice, pointing to the broader mission of Israel's monarchy and the ultimate fulfillment in Christ. The result?The king who leads in justice and the fear of God will be like the rising sun—bringing warmth, light, and life to his people. This image is striking: the king himself is meant to be a light, modeling faithful sonship to Israel, just as Israel is called to be a light to the nations.As we close, we reflect on the impact of leadership today. The culture and direction of a group of people are deeply shaped by their leader(s)—whether for good or for harm. We consider the stark contrast between leaders who walk in the fear of the Lord, bringing justice and flourishing, and those who rule with self-interest, bringing division and decay. What does it mean for us to have leaders—whether in our churches, communities, or workplaces—who embody justice and godly fear?Join us as we reflect onDavid's last words, the calling of Israel, and the profound impact of godly leadership in shaping a people for righteousness.Key Passages:2 Samuel 23:1-7Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

Y le darán estos nombres: Admirable en sus planes, Dios invencible, Padre eterno, Príncipe de la paz». Isaías 9: 6Sé que aún no es el 14 de febrero, ni hemos alcanzado el mes del amor, pero no puedo resistirme a compartir algo contigo. El 11 de febrero de 2020, era un viernes por la tarde, y le había preparado un delicioso almuerzo a mi esposa, ya que no íbamos a estar juntos el 14 de febrero.Antes de comer, ella me entregó una pequeña caja y me dijo: «Lo siento, pero no puedo esperar tres días más con esto». Al tomar la caja, mi corazón dio un vuelco, sintiendo que era más que un simple regalo. Al abrirla, no encontré una, ni dos, ni tres, ¡sino cuatro pruebas de embarazo positivas! Lloré, la abracé y juntos celebramos el mejor Día del Amor que he experimentado en mi vida, a pesar de que aún no era el 14 de febrero.¿Has notado que cada vez que Dios planeaba realizar algún acto maravilloso en la Biblia, siempre enviaba a un bebé? Cuando nació Noé, su padre dijo: «Este niño nos hará descansar» (Génesis 5: 29). Durante la opresión egipcia, Dios envió un bebé «hermoso»: Moisés (Éxodo 2:1-2). Siglos después, cuando se necesitaba un nuevo salvador para derrotar a los filisteos, Dios envió otro bebé: Sansón (Jueces 13: 1-5). Y, por supuesto, no podemos pasar por alto el nacimiento de Juan el Bautista, quien prepararía el camino para el Mesías (Lucas 1: 11-17).Cuando Dios vio que el mundo estaba sumergido en la maldad, el egoísmo y el pecado, y se necesitaba un salvador, ¿qué crees que hizo? ¡Envió un bebé! Hace más de dos mil años, cuando los ángeles anunciaron el nacimiento de Jesús, también proclamaron: «En la tierra paz, ¡buena voluntad para con los hombres!» (Lucas 2: 14, RV95). Sí, esperar el nacimiento de mi primer hijo fue una experiencia emocionante, pero es mucho más emocionante saber que el Niño de la promesa ya vino y nos ha garantizado la vida eterna. Hoy podemos celebrar juntos que «nos ha nacido un niño» (Isaías 9: 6).
In this episode, we dive into one of the most poignant and widely misunderstood moments in the Gospel of Matthew—Jesus' cry from the cross, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). Quoting the opening words of Psalm 22, Jesus' statement has been the source of much theological debate and misinterpretation. Some view it as an expression of despair, believing Jesus felt abandoned by God due to a moment of weakness in his faith. Others, particularly those who adhere to penal substitutionary atonement, interpret it as evidence that God poured out His wrath on Jesus and severed fellowship with Him because He bore the sins of the world. But what if both interpretations miss the mark? We explore an alternative perspective rooted in the context of Psalm 22, a psalm woven into the fabric of the passion narrative in Matthew. Notably, Psalm 22:18 is explicitly referenced in Matthew 27:35, highlighting how the psalm frames the events of Jesus' crucifixion. We discuss how the people around the cross, including the religious leaders and Roman soldiers, play the roles of David's enemies in Psalm 22, while Jesus takes on the role of David himself. Far from expressing despair or divine abandonment, Jesus' cry serves as a deliberate and prophetic act. By quoting Psalm 22:1, Jesus draws attention to the psalm's depiction of a righteous sufferer surrounded by enemies—an anointed king who endures suffering before vindication. Like David, who was on the run from Jewish authorities and eventually found himself alone among the Philistines, Jesus mirrors this pre-enthronement struggle. Anointed as king at his baptism, Jesus also faced opposition from Jewish authorities and was ultimately handed over to the Gentiles. We examine how Jesus' use of Psalm 22 redefines the roles of those around him, casting the Jewish leaders and Roman authorities as David's adversaries. This reframing highlights the true nature of what was happening on the cross, calling his listeners—and us—to recognize their (and our) participation in the story. Finally, we explore how Psalm 22 anticipates a dynamic effect on the Gentiles, a theme that points toward the global implications of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. This pivotal idea will set the stage for our next episode, where we'll delve into the psalm's ultimate vision of hope for the Gentiles.

Isaías 9:6Support the show
El Pastor Alfredo Serés, basa su mensaje en el capítulo 9 de Isaías, que anuncia el nacimiento de Jesús. En él se describe un tiempo difícil. Se mencionan dos versiones: primero, la versión Reina-Valera 1960, la más común; y después, la Nueva Biblia Viva. Isaías 9:1-7. La versión Reina-Valera 1960 dice: Mas no habrá siempre oscuridad para la que está ahora en angustia, tal como la aflicción que le vino en el tiempo que livianamente tocaron la primera vez a la tierra de Zabulón y a la tierra de Neftalí; pues al fin llenará de gloria el camino del mar, de aquel lado del Jordán, en Galilea de los gentiles. El pueblo que andaba en tinieblas vio gran luz; los que moraban en tierra de sombra de muerte, luz resplandeció sobre ellos. Multiplicaste la gente, y aumentaste la alegría. Se alegrarán delante de ti como se alegran en la siega, como se gozan cuando reparten despojos. Porque tú quebraste su pesado yugo, y la vara de su hombro, y el cetro de su opresor, como en el día de Madián. Porque todo calzado que lleva el guerrero en el tumulto de la batalla, y todo manto revolcado en sangre, serán quemados, pasto del fuego. Porque un niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado sobre su hombro; y se llamará su nombre Admirable, Consejero, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz. Lo dilatado de su imperio y la paz no tendrán límite, sobre el trono de David y sobre su reino, disponiéndolo y confirmándolo en juicio y en justicia desde ahora y para siempre. El celo de Jehová de los ejércitos hará esto. En otra versión, aunque dice lo mismo, se amplían algunos conceptos nuevos. La Nueva Biblia Viva señala que este tiempo de tinieblas y desesperación no será eterno. Aunque pronto la tierra de Zabulón y de Neftalí caerán bajo el menosprecio y el castigo de Dios, en el futuro estas mismas tierras, Galilea y Transjordania del Norte, donde está el camino que lleva al mar, serán llenas de gloria. Estas tierras fueron las primeras en ser invadidas cuando Nabucodonosor vino, conquistó Jerusalén y se llevó cautivos a los hijos de Jerusalén. Fue precisamente el norte de Galilea donde se iniciaron las primeras opresiones y persecuciones, y donde las primeras tierras fueron destruidas. La Nueva Biblia Viva presenta el pasaje de Isaías 9:1-7 de la siguiente manera: Pero ese tiempo de tinieblas y desesperación no será eterno. Aunque pronto la tierra de Zabulón y Neftalí caigan bajo el menosprecio y el castigo de Dios, en lo futuro estas mismas tierras, Galilea y Transjordania del norte, donde están los caminos que llevan al mar, se verán llenas de gloria. El pueblo que anda en tinieblas verá una gran luz, una luz que iluminará a todos los que moran en la tierra de amenaza de muerte. Porque Israel volverá a ser grande, lleno de gozo como los segadores en el tiempo de la mies y como los hombres que se reparten el botín capturado. Porque Dios quebrantará las cadenas que oprimen a su pueblo y el látigo que los azota, tal como destruyó la gran hueste de los madianitas valiéndose del pequeño grupo de Gedeón. En aquel glorioso día de paz ya no se fabricará armamento, no habrá más uniformes de guerra manchados de sangre. Todo eso será quemado. Porque nos ha nacido un niño, se nos ha dado un hijo y él tendrá el gobierno sobre su hombro. Estos serán sus títulos de realeza: «Admirable», «Consejero», «Dios poderoso», «Padre eterno», «Príncipe de paz». Su siempre creciente y pacífico reinado no acabará jamás. Gobernará con perfecta equidad y justicia desde el trono de David su padre. Traerá verdadera justicia y paz a todas las naciones del mundo. Esto ocurrirá porque el Dios Todopoderoso se ha empeñado en realizarlo. Pero dice que no será siempre así, porque esas regiones fueron también donde Jesús inició su ministerio. Gran parte del ministerio de Jesús en el Nuevo Testamento se desarrolló alrededor del Mar de Galilea. La pesca milagrosa y cuando Jesús caminó sobre el mar ocurrieron en el Mar de Galilea. La mayoría de los milagros que Jesús hizo fue en estas tierras de Galilea. Isaías, capítulo 9, profetiza que tal vez vengan momentos de angustia, tierras desoladas, despreciadas y tiempos difíciles, pero no serán para siempre. En 1 Reyes, capítulo 10, se cuenta que el rey Salomón le regaló 20 tierras a Hiram, después de que este había provisto madera y oro para la construcción del templo de Dios y del palacio de Salomón. En gratitud, Salomón le regaló 20 tierras al rey de Tiro, Hiram. Muy emocionado, el rey de Tiro fue a ver las tierras que su amigo Salomón le había regalado, pero no le gustaron los regalos que Salomón le dio. Y le llamó Cabul. Cabul significa desértico o pantanoso. El regalo que le dieron a Hiram no le gustó y dijo: "No te la regreso, mejor dame otra cosa." Salomón siempre era muy espléndido para dar regalos y estaba tan agradecido con Hiram que le regaló 20 ciudades de Galilea. Esas ciudades, aproximadamente 600 años después, fueron donde Jesús comenzó su ministerio y que actualmente generan las mayores divisas a nivel mundial por el turismo religioso. Las tierras que Hiram despreció y llamó "Cabul" (pantanoso), hoy en día son las más visitadas mundialmente por el turismo religioso, porque fueron donde Jesús hizo el mayor número de milagros. Tal vez la situación que estás atravesando hoy, el conflicto, la opresión y la tensión, sean el lugar donde Dios manifestará su gloria y grandeza para las futuras generaciones, produciendo un cambio en tu vida. Cabul es la tierra de Galilea de los gentiles, esa tierra es Zabulón y Neftalí. Fueron las primeras en ser conquistadas y destruidas, pero Israel volverá a ser grande y lleno de gozo, como los segadores en el tiempo de la cosecha, como los hombres que se reparten el botín capturado. Porque Dios quebrantó las cadenas que oprimían a su pueblo, el látigo que los azotaba, tal como destruyó la gran hueste de los madianitas valiéndose de un pequeño grupo liderado por Gedeón. En aquel glorioso día de paz, ya no se fabricará armamento ni habrá más uniformes de guerra manchados de sangre, porque todo eso será quemado. Nos ha nacido un niño, se nos ha dado un hijo, y él tendrá el gobierno sobre sus hombros. Sus títulos de realeza serán: Admirable, Consejero, Dios Poderoso, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz. Su siempre creciente y pacífico reino no acabará jamás. Gobernará con perfecta equidad y justicia desde el trono de David su padre, trayendo verdadera justicia y paz a todas las naciones del mundo. Esto ocurrirá porque el Dios Todopoderoso se ha empeñado en realizarlo. En medio de esta situación difícil, esas tierras serán bendecidas porque tú quebrantaste su pesado yugo. ¿Qué era un yugo? En hebreo, la palabra para yugo se utilizaba para describir dos tipos: uno de madera y otro de acero o hierro. El yugo de madera se ponía principalmente a los animales de carga, como los toros, alrededor de su cuello. Bíblicamente, un yugo simbolizaba la cautividad y la opresión, un evento, una circunstancia, una enfermedad o un problema que te ha estado oprimiendo. Entra por tu cabeza y se asienta en tu cuello, asfixiándote y oprimiéndote. Al estar pesado, el yugo te oprime y no solo te priva de libertad, sino que también acongoja tus emociones y espíritu interior. Las circunstancias y eventos han producido ese pesar en tu vida, corazón, espíritu y familia. Has vivido circunstancias de salud emocional, financiera, anímica, económica y moral que te han oprimido, ya sea por tu carnalidad, carácter o malas decisiones. Son dos cosas: la vara sobre su hombro y el cetro de su opresor. ¿Qué te ha golpeado? ¿Tu familia? El Profeta Isaías, menciona que como en el día de Madián, todo calzado será llevado en guerra y tumulto de batalla. Esto terminará como en el día de Madián, refiriéndose a Jueces capítulos 6 y 7, cuando Gedeón se levantó con un ejército y destruyó a Madián. Madián significa contienda, pleito, lucha. Isaías hace referencia a Jueces 6 y 7, donde los madianitas, una tribu descendiente de Abraham a través de Cetura, la segunda esposa de Abraham, oprimían a Israel. En Jueces capítulo 6, se dice que el pueblo madianita había empobrecido a Israel, provocando que se escondieran en cavernas. ¿Qué ha provocado en tu vida que te escondas en cavernas? Primero se escondían en cuevas y en lugares fuertes. La opresión de Madián hizo que Israel se escondiera en sus fortalezas, habilidades y capacidades. ¿Cuáles son tus habilidades y capacidades? ¿Cuáles son tus lugares fuertes? La palabra hebrea para cavernas es "lugares oscuros". A veces, nuestras habilidades y talentos se vuelven en nuestra contra, nos sentimos atados u oscurecidos en nuestras propias fortalezas. Madián hizo que Israel, en sus capacidades y talentos, se escondiera en lugares oscuros. ¿Te sientes escondido en un lugar oscuro, en tu capacidad y habilidad? ¿Te sientes aprisionado donde deberías tener la victoria? Así se sentía Israel por causa de Madián. Isaías capítulo 9 dice que tú quebrantaste su pesado yugo, la vara que los azotaba y el cetro de su opresor, como lo hiciste con Madián. Hace referencia a un evento pasado de libertad, donde en medio de una situación difícil, donde deberías tener victoria, te has sentido derrotado. Isaías capítulo 9, empieza a hablar de una libertad gloriosa, haciendo referencia a dos eventos importantes para el pueblo de Israel. Dice que se alegrarán como en el día de la cosecha. Es interesante que la Biblia muchas veces menciona la cosecha al hablar de bendición para Israel. El contexto es que Israel estaba ubicada en una zona desértica, sin agua y con climas extremos, donde la producción agrícola era escasa. La cosecha era vista como una bendición y provisión de Dios. Entonces, Isaías dice que la situación difícil y triste será cambiada y bendecida como en el tiempo de la cosecha, de la abundancia, cuando la escasez termina. Recuerda que Israel era un lugar árido donde no se producía nada. El Mar Muerto, llamado así porque no había vida en sus aguas saladas, ni siquiera se podía usar para beber. El agua escaseaba y los saqueadores, como los madianitas, robaban los frutos de la tierra. Para la mentalidad judía, la cosecha era un tiempo de provisión y bendición. Isaías dice que se alegrarán como se alegran en la cosecha. Esa situación difícil y angustiosa será cambiada como el día de la cosecha. Además, Isaías menciona que se alegrarán como cuando reparten los despojos después de una batalla tumultuosa. En la antigüedad, cuando un reino vencía a otro, no solo lo derrotaba, sino que lo despojaba de sus riquezas, tierras y propiedades, que luego se repartían entre el ejército. Los guerreros que luchaban y sufrían heridas, al final, vencían y recibían su recompensa. Ahora tiene una propiedad más, un terreno más, una casa más, una riqueza más. Ahora tiene oro. ¿Por qué? Porque al haber vencido, se repartieron despojos. Sí, fue una lucha difícil y un momento doloroso, pero no solo hay alegría por la cosecha y la provisión futura, sino también por la mayor riqueza. El nacimiento de este niño será Admirable, Consejero, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz. ¿Cómo puede un niño producir este cambio? La obra de Jesús está quebrantando tu pesado yugo. En ese tiempo de oscuridad, los que moraban en sombra de muerte vieron luz resplandecer. Isaías capítulo 60 dice: "Levántate y resplandece porque ha venido tu luz, y la gloria de Jehová ha nacido sobre ti." Le dice que se levante porque estaba tirado, acongojado, cautivo, oprimido y dolorido. "Levántate y resplandece; ha venido tu luz y la gloria de Jehová ha nacido sobre ti. Tinieblas cubrirán la tierra y oscuridad las naciones, mas sobre ti amanecerá Jehová y su gloria será vista sobre ti. Las naciones andarán a tu luz y los reyes al resplandor de tu nacimiento. Alza tus ojos y mira: todos se han juntado y vinieron a ti. Tus hijos vendrán de lejos y tus hijas serán llevadas en brazos. Entonces verás y resplandecerás; se maravillará y ensanchará tu corazón porque se ha vuelto a ti la multitud del mar y la riqueza de las naciones." ¿Qué necesitas hacer? Levantarte. El yugo ha sido quebrantado. La obra de Jesucristo es perfecta y necesitamos levantarnos. “La multitud de camellos te cubrirán, dromedarios de Madián y de Efa. ¿Por qué vuelve a mencionar a Madián? Porque la riqueza de aquellos que te oprimieron, robaron y empobrecieron vendrá a ti” Isaías 50, menciona que serás liberada como en Madián, Jueces capítulo 6, y esas mismas regiones o situaciones del pasado producirán riquezas en tu vida. “La multitud de camellos te cubrirá, dromedarios de Madián y Efa. Todos los de Saba vendrán con oro e incienso y publicarán alabanzas de Jehová. Todo el ganado de Cedar será juntado para ti, y los carneros de Nabat te serán servidores. Serán ofrecidos con agrado sobre mi altar, y glorificaré la casa de mi gloria. ¿Quiénes son esos que vuelven como nubes y como palomas a sus ventanas? Ciertamente, los de las costas y las naves de Tarsis esperarán en mí desde el principio, trayendo a tus hijos de lejos con su plata y oro, en nombre de Jehová tu Dios y del Santo de Israel que te ha glorificado. Los extranjeros edificarán tus muros y sus reyes te servirán, porque en mi ira te castigué, pero en mi buena voluntad tendré misericordia de ti. Tus puertas estarán abiertas de continuo, no se cerrarán de día ni de noche, para que a ti sean traídas las riquezas de las naciones y conducidos tus reyes. Porque la nación o el reino que no te sirva perecerá y será completamente asolado. La gloria del Líbano vendrá a ti, cipreses, pinos y bojes juntos para decorar el lugar de mi santuario, y yo honraré el lugar de mis pies. Vendrán a ti humillados los hijos de los que te afligieron, y se encorvarán ante las pisadas de tus pies los que te escarnecieron” Alguien te ha robado, alguien se ha aprovechado de ti, abusó de tu confianza, te timó y te robó. Dice que sus hijos, no ellos, vendrán a ti pidiéndote perdón, los hijos de los que te robaron y oprimieron hace 10, 20 años, incluso cuando eras muy joven. Los hijos de esas personas vendrán a ti humillados. “Los hijos de los que te afligieron y todos los que te escarnecieron se encorvarán. En vez de estar abandonada y aborrecida, serás una gloria eterna, el gozo de todas las generaciones. Mamarás la leche de las naciones y el pecho de los reyes, y conocerás que yo, Jehová, soy tu Salvador, el Fuerte de Jacob. En vez de bronce, traeré oro, y en vez de hierro, plata. En lugar de madera, bronce, y en lugar de piedras, hierro. Pondré paz por tu t

En una remota aldea de la India, una familia extremadamente pobre llevó su regalo de Navidad a un misionero. Era un objeto muy valioso para ellos, envuelto en hojas de palma. Al ser preguntados por qué entregaban algo tan preciado, respondieron: “No podemos quedarnos con lo mejor cuando celebramos al Rey que dio Su todo por nosotros” Sus palabras reflejan el espíritu más puro del dar. Hoy celebramos el regalo más extraordinario que el mundo jamás ha recibido: Jesús. Dios no envió riquezas ni poder, sino a Su propio Hijo, envuelto en la humildad de un pesebre. Este regalo no solo cambió la historia, sino también nuestras eternidades. Su sacrificio abrió el camino hacia la salvación, la paz y una esperanza inquebrantable. En Jesús encontramos todo lo que nuestro corazón anhela. Esta Navidad, recibe este regalo con un corazón lleno de gratitud. Adora al Rey que dejó Su trono celestial por amor a ti. Deja que Su amor transforme tu vida y comparte Su mensaje con quienes te rodean. La Biblia dice en Isaías 9:6: "Porque un niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado sobre su hombro; y se llamará su nombre Admirable, Consejero, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz".
«Porque nos ha nacido un niño, Dios nos ha dado un hijo, al cual se le ha concedido el poder de gobernar. Y le darán estos nombres: Admirable en sus planes, Dios invencible, Padre eterno, Príncipe de la paz» (Isaías 9: 6).¿A quién buscas? | Devocional de Jovenes | 25 de diciembre 2024 | AD7Devocional |----------------------------BUSCA en Facebook el texto de la matutina:http://www.facebook.com/AD7Devocional/SIGUE en Instagram el post de la matutina y el versículo diario:http://www.instagram.com/AD7Devocional/VISITA nuestra pagina de internet:http://www.ad7devocional.comVISITA la pagina de internet de nuestros amigos:https://matutinaadventista.comhttps://www.facebook.com/matutinaadventista7SUSCRIBE a YouTube, comparte y ve nuestros videos:http://www.youtube.com/AD7DevocionalESCUCHA a traves de Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4VfzQUU2omzsrqITRsL6AhCode: ZMNFFR61ROS86OC5Autor: Jorge L.

En una noche tranquila de invierno recién llegado a los Estados Unidos, recuerdo sentarme al lado de una chimenea mientras contemplaba cómo el viento soplaba fuertemente afuera y la nieve descendía notablemente. El silencio era casi tangible y en ese momento sentí una paz profunda que me hacía reflexionar sobre la grandeza del Dios de toda la creación. Es así como en la primera navidad, la llegada de Jesús trajo una paz que trasciende todo entendimiento. Él no prometió la ausencia de problemas, pero sí la certeza de Su presencia constante en medio de los problemas. Su nacimiento marcó el inicio de una paz que calma nuestras tormentas internas y nos llena de seguridad en Su amor eterno. En este Adviento, busca momentos de silencio para conectarte con Dios. Permite que Su paz inunde tu corazón y tu mente. Así como en esa noche de invierno encontré consuelo en el silencio, encuentra en Jesús la paz que necesitas para cada día. La Biblia dice en Isaías 9:6:"Porque un niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado sobre su hombro; y se llamará su nombre Admirable, Consejero, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz".

Audio Devocional "Crezcamos de Fe en Fe" - Ministerios Kenneth Copeland
«Y todo lo que hagan, ya sea de palabra o de hecho, háganlo en el nombre del Señor Jesús, dando gracias a Dios el Padre por medio de él» (Colosenses 3:17) ¿Sabías que tu nombre ha cambiado? Tu nombre ya no es más el nombre que tenías antes de que nacieras de nuevo. Te deshiciste del primer nombre cuando celebraste el pacto con Jesucristo. Para apreciar completamente lo que ese cambio significa, tienes que pensarlo a la luz de lo que sabemos del pacto de sangre. Cuando alguien hace un pacto de sangre, se entrega por completo, deja de ser dueño de sí mismo. Y sus posesiones y deudas, así como sus virtudes y defectos, le pertenecen para siempre a la persona (hermano de sangre) con quien hace el pacto. Cuando estableces un pacto de sangre con alguien, adquieres el nombre de esa persona; éste se convierte en tu nombre para siempre. No puedes escaparle―bueno o malo―es tuyo. Cuando recibiste a Jesucristo como Señor y Salvador, Él tomó tu nombre; el cual era pecado, debilidad, temor, pobreza y todo lo que heredaste de Adán. Jesús te quitó esos nombres y te dio Su Nombre a cambio. ¡Eso es cierto! En Efesios 3:15, dice que todo el Cuerpo de Cristo ha sido llamado en el en el cielo y en la Tierra. Eso significa que ahora tienes el nombre de Jesús y la autoridad que conlleva ese nombre. Tan solo piensa de quién has tomado tu nombre nuevo: Jesús, Dios Fuerte, Sabiduría, Libertador, León de la tribu de Judá, Palabra de Vida, Abogado, Proveedor, Yo Soy, Consolador, Salvador, Príncipe de Paz, Admirable, Consejero, Cordero de Dios, Jehová de los ejércitos, Raíz de David, Autor y Consumador de nuestra fe, Camino, Sanador, Hijo de Dios, Verdad, Piedra angular, Rey de reyes, Luz del mundo, Gran Pastor, mi Fortaleza y mi Canto, Juez Justo, Sol de Justicia, Resurrección y Vida, Alfa y Omega. ¡Alabado sea Dios! Esos nombres abarcan toda necesidad que puedas tener, y el poder de Dios se encuentra en el Nombre de Jesús para hacer de ese nombre una realidad en tu vida (Hechos 3:16). Ya no puedes llamarte a ti mismo “desanimado”. No debes responder cuando el diablo te diga: “Oye, pobre hombre”; ése no es tu nombre. Jesús te ha despojado de esos antiguos nombres. Medita en los nombres del Señor; todos y cada uno de ellos están incluidos en el nombre de Jesús, el Nombre sobre todo nombre, y a ti te ha sido dado ese nombre ¡con todo el poder y la autoridad que éste conlleva!

DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA VESPERTINA“SALMOS”Narrado por: Joyce VejarDesde: Arizona, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church08 DE NOVIEMBRE SALMO 25:14-15 «El Señor brinda su amistad a quienes le honran, y les da a conocer su pacto» (SAL. 25:14). La mayoría de nosotros tenemos buenos amigos; personas con las que nos hemos identificado a lo largo de la vida y con quienes disfrutamos pasar un buen rato. Valoramos su amistad y los apreciamos como hermanos. Nos duelen sus problemas y nos vemos apoyados por ellos en los nuestros. En esta ocasión la lectura bíblica nos lleva a una expresión sincera de parte del escritor del salmo, notando una palabra importante: «amistad». Otras versiones traducen esta palabra como «amigos» o «comunión». El significado expresa una relación estrecha, cercana, de consejo. Y es parte de la voluntad de Dios mantener esta relación personal. El verbo «brinda» está expresado en un tiempo presente continuo. Así es la comunión con el Señor, permanente, cercana, continua, de amigos. Solo mediante una relación así se puede conocer más de Él, de Su voluntad y de sus planes. ¿Cómo mantener hoy en día una relación así? La Biblia nos enseña que, rindiendo nuestra vida al señorío de Jesucristo podemos ser participantes de un nuevo pacto, en donde nuestro corazón goza de perdón y compañía permanente a través de Su Espíritu Santo. Y por medio de Su Palabra y la oración, podemos tener una comunicación constante con el Padre y conocer Su voluntad para nuestras vidas. Eso podía notar el salmista, y entonces expresa: «Mis ojos están puestos siempre en el Señor». La frase traduce una continuidad en la acción, algo que sucede de manera constante. ¿Es así tu relación con Él? ¿Disfrutas pasar un buen rato, recibiendo aliento y consejo a la vez que le puedes confiar el quebranto más profundo del alma, sabiendo que hallaremos una buena respuesta de Su parte? Eso hace alguien que mantiene sus ojos siempre en el Señor. Y pudiera resultar sencillo hacer esto en medio de tiempos de paz, pero ¿cuándo todo sale mal? ¿Cuándo los problemas se agolpan y se acaban las salidas? El escritor de este pasaje nos dice un motivo importante: «Pues solo él puede sacarme de la trampa». Así que, los mejores tiempos, cuando podemos experimentar esa cercanía y amistad con nuestro Señor, es cuando nuestros pies están enredados, cuando nuestra vida se haya envuelta en graves problemas, en angustias, quebrantos, depresiones, soledad, tristeza o cualquier otra situación que nos lleve a sentirnos atrapados. Allí está el Amigo, Consejero, Admirable, Dios fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de paz (Isa. 9:6), quien nos revela los planes más perfectos y eternos para nosotros y nos llena de Su paz que sobrepasa todo entendimiento. Pero recuerda, para poder experimentar Su libertad, es necesario tener una comunión íntima con Él. Esta comunión es para los que le temen, para los que han comprendido el alto valor del respeto a Dios, de la cercanía a Su verdad y guardan en su corazón Sus principios, valorando el alto precio pagado para alcanzar esa comunión. Y tú, ¿ya gozas de esa comunión? Y si no es así, ¿qué esperas para disfrutar de ella?
