Leider wird über die kleinen Propheten relativ wenig und selten gepredigt, doch auch sie offenbaren wichtige Dinge über das Wirken und Handeln Gottes in der Geschichte. Was sagen uns die kleinen Propheten heute noch über uns und Gottes ewiges Wirken? Diese und andere Fragen wollen wir in unserer Reihe über die kleinen Propheten beantworten. Heute beginnen wir mit dem Buch Amos.  Seid gesegnet!

Complementary New Testament Passage:1 Corinthians 15:50-58 Sermon Outline: The shameful effects of sin Would you prefer the Lord to lift you up or tear you down? Who can help you if you reject the Lord? The Lord will turn his anger on death itself Israels history foreshadows the ultimate result of choosing evil Family Discussion Questions: What silly and embarrassing things did Gods people do when they disobeyed him? What terrible things did Gods people do when they disobeyed him? Did Gods people stay thankful to God for rescuing them from Egypt? Could any of Israels kings rescue them from sin and hell? God is compared to a lion. Would you rather have a lion as your helper or enemy? How did Jesus defeat death? When will death be finally gone? What will happen to people if they do not trust in Jesus? We believe that Gods decree includes all things that will come to pass, and yet that he is not the author of sin. How does that help us to comprehend verses 15-16? Why is that a terrible and fitting result of Israel continually choosing Assyria instead of the Lord? How have you seen the truths of verses 1-2 in the world around you? How about in your own life/heart? Israels history (Old Testament) is summed up in verse 13; they could not produce their own saviour. How does this set up wonderfully the book of John? Verse 14 is one which we too often forget. How does this correct our false understanding that the only comfort at a Christian funeral is that their soul is in heaven?

When Moses was born the Hebrew people had been living in Egypt for quite a time. Initially under the protection of Joseph and Pharoah and welcomed as honored guests; they had become an oppressed and enslaved nation. Fearing their growing strength, Pharaoh ordered every Hebrew boy to be thrown into the Nile. But one mothers courage defied the kings decree. She hid her child as long as she could, then placed him in a basket coated with tar and pitch and set him afloat on the Nile river. By Gods providence, Pharaohs daughter found the baby and raised him as her own. Moses grew up amid the luxury of Pharaohs court, yet he never forgot his Hebrew roots. His passion for justiceand his temperwould define much of his life. When he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave, Moses struck down the oppressor and hid the body in the sand (Exod. 2:1112). When the act became known, he fled to the wilderness of Midian, where he spent forty years as a shepherd, husband, and son-in-law to Jethrowaiting for the day when God would call him to lead His people out of bondage. By the time we reach Exodus 3, Moses had already spent those forty years in Midian tending sheep. Then, before a burning bush, he encountered the living Godthe God of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God entered into Moses world in such a way that he would never be the same again. When God called to him from the bush, He said,Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground(v. 5). What made the ground holy? The presence of God made it holy. As R.C. Sproul wrote in his classicThe Holiness of God: God alone is holy in Himself. Only God can sanctify something else. Only God can give the touch that changes it from the commonplace to something special, different, and apart. The God who spoke to Moses from within the burning bush is not only holybut faithful. While many Hebrews believed that God had forgotten them, the Lord reminded Moses that He is not only all-seeing, but full of mercy:I have certainly seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their outcry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings(v. 7). Then God said to Moses,And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt(v. 10). To this, Moses humbly replied,Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt? All that Moses saw in himself was his own failures and weaknesses. But for God, it didnt matter how weak Moses was, for He delights to use the foolish to shame the wise and the weak to shame the strong (1 Cor. 1:2631). What the burning bush reminds us of is not only that God is holy, or that He is omniscient, or that He is faithful to His promises, but that God uses people not because He needs to, but because He wants to. Just as God did not need Noah or Joseph to address the problems of the world, He did not need Moses. The marvel of the story of God and the people He chooses to use has more to do with that fact that He invites people like us into His mission and the story He is telling. There is a Mediator Who Stands in Your Place After God revealed Himself to Moses as Yahwehthe covenant-keeping GodHe commissioned Moses to return to Egypt. Understandably, Moses questioned,Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?God assured him,I will certainly be with you(Exod. 3:1012). And when Moses was to speak to the people of Israel, God instructed him to say,I AM WHO I AM has sent me to you(v. 14). One of the characteristics that distinguishes the God of Abraham from the gods of Egypt is His faithfulnessHe keeps His promises. This is expressed beautifully inExodus 6:25, where God tells Moses,I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.Gods faithfulness is not only in His name but in His actions, His compassion, and His unwavering remembrance of His promises. Do you remember Leahthe ugly wife whom Jacob did not love? Not only was Judah born to her, but so was Levi. About five generations later, we read inExodus 2:1of a man from the house of Levi who married a daughter of Levi. Together they had three children: Miriam, Aaron, and Moses. It was after Miriam and Aarons birthbut before Moses was bornthat Pharaoh commanded every Hebrew son to be thrown into the Nile (seeExod. 1:2022). Yet from this very family, God raised up the leaders who would deliver His people. Moses would lead Israel out of bondage, serving as a type of king who would shepherd Gods people through the wilderness. Aaron would become Gods priest, and through him the priestly line would continue (Exod. 28:129:9). Miriam would be identified as a prophetess (Exod. 15:2021). Dont miss this: God used all threeMoses, Aaron, and Miriamto lead His people out of Egypt, yet Aaron and Miriam would serve the people under Moses leadership (see Mic. 6:4). But it was to Moses, that God said, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. And when Miriam and Aaron forgot their place and Moses God-ordained role before Israel, God said, Now hear My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream. It is not this way for My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My household; with him I speak mouth to mouth, that is, openly, and not using mysterious language, and he beholds the form of the Lord. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses? (see Num. 12:1-8). Follow the Deliverer Who Leads His People Out of Bondage Moses stood before Pharaoh and Israel as a type ofshepherd-kinga mediator and prophet who spoke on Gods behalf. Listen to how the Lord described Moses role: As for you, you shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall speak to Pharaoh that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land. But I will harden Pharaohs heart, so that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My armies, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I extend My hand over Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst. (Exod. 7:2-5). When Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh, they declared, Thus says the LORD, Let My people go. (Exod. 5:1). Pharaoh not only refused but mocked the God of Israel: Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and besides, I will not let Israel go (5:1-2). To prove that no one would command Pharoah of Egypt, he made the Israelites labor even harsher, forcing them to gather their own straw while maintaining the same quota of bricks. What followed was asuccession of ten plagues, each designed to expose the impotence of Egypts gods and, in many cases, tomock them directly. The first nine fall naturally into three escalating triads: Plagues of defilement:water turned to blood (7:1424), frogs overran the land (8:115), and gnats or lice tormented Egypt (8:1619). Plagues of destruction:swarms of flies invaded (8:2032); disease killed Egypts livestock while Israels remained unharmed (9:17); and boils afflicted people and animals alike (9:812). Plagues of devastation:hail mixed with fire ravaged the land (9:1335); locusts devoured the remaining crops (10:120); and darknessa direct assault onRa, the sun-godcovered Egypt for three days (10:2129). Each judgment demonstrated Yahwehs sovereignty, yet Pharaohs heart only grew harder. Enraged, he shouted to Moseswho stood before himas Gods representative: Get away from me! Be careful, do not see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you shall die! (10:28). The cognitive dissonance of Pharaoh towards the God of the Israel was not only irrational, but insane! He was dealing with the God who He could not defeat, for in the words of the apostle Paul, it was the equivalent of the clay pot accusing the potter that He had no rights over what He created (Rom. 9:19ff.). In essence, Pharaohs heart cried out to the God of Moses,Who are You to tell me what I can and cannot do? Before we shake our heads or point our finger at Pharaoh in disgust, we must ask ourselves:What has God commanded us to release or submit to that we have resisted with the same question Who is Yahweh that I should obey His voice? Live in the Victory of the Lamb Who Triumphed Over Every Power Before the final plague, Israel was commanded to take amale lamb without defectand keep it forfour dayslong enough to confirm it was spotless and long enough for it to become, in a sense,theirlamb (Exod. 12:16). On the fourteenth day, the lamb was to be slaughtered at twilight, and its blood applied on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it (v. 7). Afterward, the entire household was toeat the lamb together(vv. 811). For what purpose was the perfect and spotless lamb slaughtered? We are told why in Exodus 12:12, For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and fatally strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the human firstborn to animals; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgmentsI am the Lord. Who would God strike? Thefirstborn sonsboth human and animaland thegods (elohim) of Egypt. These gods were not merely lifeless idols butspiritual powers, demonic forces that animated Egypts sorcery and who also held Pharaoh and his people captive[1] (see Deut. 32:17; 1 Cor. 10:2022).[2] So what fueled Pharaohs hatred of Yahweh and his oppression of Israel? His sin and pride, certainlybut beneath that rebellion lay ademonic conflict. The showdown between Moses and Pharaoh, Israel and Egypt, was not merely political or personal; it wasspiritual warfare. As Paul later wrote, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). Every plague before the tenth was a call to repentancea chance for Pharaoh, for Egypt, and even for any Hebrew who had turned to Egypts idols, to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But only throughthe blood of the lambwould anyone experience deliverance and victory. But, why the firstborn? At the summit of Egypts pantheon stoodRa (Re), the so-called god of gods, depicted with thehead of a falconand thesolar disk encircled by a cobraa symbol of divine power and kingship. Pharaoh was worshiped as theson of Ra, and his ownfirstborn sonwas regarded as the next embodiment of divine rule. In one decisive act, Yahweh crushed the head of Egypts god for the purpose of liberating captive Israel and any Egyptian who wished to turn to the true Creator, and He did it through the blood of the lamb! Conclusion Through this series, youve been reminded of thetrue and better Adamwho embraced a tree for our redemption and life. Youve seen thetrue and better Isaac, who carried His cross to the place of execution for sins we committed, that we might become children of God through His willing death. There is atrue and better Israel, who pursued the unfaithful bride and redeemed her to be clothed in white, never again enslaved to sin. And there is atrue and better Mosesthe Prophet who perfectly represents God, the High Priest who intercedes for us, and the flawless Shepherd-King whose lordship demands our obedience. Behind Egypts gods stood a master deceiverthe father of lies, the ancient serpentwho twists truth and opposes the purposes of God. When Moses stood before Pharaoh, he wasnt merely confronting a ruler; he was standing against the spiritual powers of darkness. In that moment, Moses foreshadowed the One who would intercede perfectly on our behalf. Jesus is the true and better Mosesthe long-promised Deliverer, the Lion of Judah who became the Lamb of God to set captives free. He alone is the sinless Son of the Father, who took on flesh and dwelt among usthe Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. But His death did more than address our guilt; ittriumphed over sin, death, and every power opposed to Gods kingdom. Through His cross and resurrection, Jesus destroyed the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil (Heb. 2:14), and the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). When we turn to the book of Revelation, we witness a dramatic, global reenactment of the Exodus story: the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls each unleash escalating judgments, echoing the plagues that struck Egypt. Yet, just as Pharaoh stubbornly hardened his heart, so too does humanity in the final days. Scripture warns, The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands; they continued to worship demons and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and woodidols that can neither see, hear, nor walk. They refused to repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts (Rev. 9:20-21). So we must ask regarding ourselves: Who is Yahweh that I should obey Him? Thetrue and better Moses, theLamb of God, was slain to liberate us from such things. For the true Christian,Colossians 2:1315declares our victory: And when you were dead in your wrongdoings and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings, having canceled the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. (Col. 2:13-15) If you are in Christ, your victory and freedom are found inthe Lamb who reigns as the Lion of Judah. Jesus is the true and better Mediator who stands in your place. Jesus is the true and better Deliverer who leads His people out of bondage. The true Son of God is your salvationbefore whom every ruler and demon, all who are rich and poor, those who are known and unknown will one day bow. And on that Day, mayRevelation 12:1011be said of you: Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. (Rev. 12:10-11) [1] And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Cor. 4:3-4) [2] No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? (1 Cor. 10:20-22)

Complementary New Testament Passage:John 3:16-35 Sermon Title: By the Help of your Never-changing God, Return to Him Sermon Outline: By the Help of your Never-changing God, Return to Him The Self-Assured will find themselves in tents Rescued and kept from your guilt by the Word of God Family Discussion Questions: What did Jacob do in order to get more than Esau? What was the new name God gave to Jacob after He wrestled with Jacob all night? Why is it a bad plan to think you will go to heaven because God will not be able to find any sin in you? What was Jacobs job when he was working in order to marry Rachael? What did God use to be Israels shepherd? (The Bible - the prophets) Why is sinning described as chasing and feeding on wind? Israel looked back into their history and took confidence in the exact opposite of what they should have. Explain. Why do Gods people (even today) need to continually be reminded that it is with His Word that they are redeemed and kept? Why is verse 9 both a threat and a kind promise? Some people wrongly think of rejecting salvation as making someone guilty. How does verse 14 (and John 3:16-35) correct this understanding? How does verse 6 correct legalism and lawlessness? What is the meaning of comparing Jacobs changing names with Gods name, Yahweh (or Jehovah)?

The Bible never hides the mess that happens when sinful people collide. It doesnt take much to recognize that since Adam and Eve were promised a descendant who would crush the head of the serpent, the story of Gods people is one of dysfunction. All who make up Jesus family tree include broken and messy people. When we come to Genesis 29, we meet Jacoba deceiverand Leah, the woman no one wanted. But their story began long before this moment. God had promised Abraham that through his descendants would come a child who would bless all nations. That promise passed to Isaac, and before his twins were born, God declared,The older shall serve the younger (Gen. 25:23). Jacob deceived his aging father, stole his brothers blessing, and fled for his life. Alone in the wilderness, with only a stone for a pillow, God met him in a dream.I am the LORD, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go (Gen. 28:1315). God didnt appear to Jacob because he finally got his act togetherHe showed up in Jacobs mess. Thats the beauty of grace: God steps into our brokenness, keeps His promises, and accomplishes His plan through imperfect people. Later, God gave him the name Israel, but for the purpose of this sermon, we will continue to refer to him as Jacob (Gen. 35:9-21). Outside of Eden We Want Rachel (Gen. 29:1-20) When Laban heard his nephew had arrived, heran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house(Gen. 29:13). Jacob stayed with his uncle for a month, and during that time he fell in love with Labans younger daughter, Rachel (v. 18). Why did Jacob love Rachel? The text tells us:Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. And Leahs eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in figure and appearance(vv. 1617). Were not told exactly what it means that Leahs eyes were weak. Some think she was cross-eyed or simply lacked the beauty that her younger sister possessed. Whatever the case, the contrast is clearLeah was plain, but Rachel was striking. Even their names hint at the difference:Leahmay mean wild cow or gazelle, whileRachelmeans ewe or lamba softer, more affectionate name. Rachel was beautiful, and Jacob was captivated. When Laban offered to pay Jacob for his work, Jacob didnt ask for wageshe offered seven years of labor for Rachels hand. Laban agreed.So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days(Gen. 29:20, NLT). Rachel was the apple of his eyethe treasure of his heart. To Jacob, life with Rachel promised the happiness he had always longed for. And isnt that what we all want? On this side of Eden, every heart searches for a Rachelsomeone or something we believe will complete us. We might not call it Rachel, but we chase it in our stories, our dreams, and our longings. We dont want Leah. We want Rachel. If the Bible repeats something, we need to pay attention to it. But, if the Bible repeats something three times, it elevates it to the superlative degree as something super important. Three times we are told of Jacobs love for Rachel: Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel. (Gen. 29:18) So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him like only a few days because of his love for her. (Gen. 29:20) So Jacob had relations with Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years. (Gen. 29:30) Guess how many times we are told that Jacob loved Leah. Zero. In fact, when it comes to love, here is what we are told: Now the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was unable to have children (v. 31). Outside of Eden We Get Leah (Gen. 29:21-30) After Jacob completed the seven years he had promised his uncle, he was ready to receive what his heart had longed for.Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my time is completed, that I may have relations with her. So Laban gathered all the people of the place and held a feast(Gen. 29:2122). Finally, Jacob believed life was about to become sweet. The wedding celebration began, the food was served, and the wine flowed freely. When the bride was brought to himveiled and under cover of nightJacob, likely feeling content and confident, welcomed her.Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to him; and Jacob had relations with her.... So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah!(Gen. 29:23, 25a). Morning light brought a brutal truth. The woman beside him was not Rachelthe love of his lifebut Leah, the weak-eyed daughter whose very name meant wild cow. Jacob was furious. He had been deceivedjust as he had once deceived his brother Esau. His dream of happiness, shattered.And he said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?(v. 25). But Laban, the master manipulator, calmly replied,It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn. Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years(vv. 2627). Jacob was trappedused for free labor once again. He was tricked into taking the daughter he hadnt chosen, and bartered into another seven years for the one he loved. Unfortunately for Leah, she was stuck in the middle of all the drama. Outside of Eden There is Still Hope The marriage that Jacob was tricked into began with a week-long celebration. Laban insisted Jacob complete the festivities with Leah, giving enough time for her to become pregnant. Yet Jacob was eager for the days to end, and as soon as the week was over, he immediately married Rachel. Driven by the selfish motives of both Jacob and Laban, Leah found herself trappedcaught between their desires and loved by no one. Leah was rejected, while Rachel was cherished. The striking irony in Leahs story is that, while she was overlooked by everyone else, God loved her: Now the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was unable to have children (v. 31). Despite Gods blessings with each child, Leahs deepest longing, which was for her husbands love, remained out of reach. After every birth, Leah hoped that her husband would finally love her, yet that hope was continually unfulfilled. Consider how Leah responded after each of her first four child were born: Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and named him Reuben, for she said, Because the Lord has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me. (v. 32) Then she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said, Because the Lord has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also. So she named him Simeon. (v. 33) And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said, Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore he was named Levi. (v. 34) And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said, This time I will praise the Lord. Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children. (v. 35) I wish Leahs story ended with her praising theLORD, but it didnt. She continued to seek Jacobs affection by giving him what Rachel could notchildren. Just as Sarah gave Hagar to Jacob, Rachel followed the same pattern when she could not conceive, unwilling to trust Gods timing. What followed was a rivalry between Leah and Rachel, each striving to win Jacobs love by giving him more sons. Both even gave their servants to Jacob, and through them, four more sons were born. In time, God blessed Leah with two additional sons and a daughter, yet her longing for her husbands love was never fulfilled (seeGen. 30:1921). Rachel, meanwhile, bore only two sonsJosephand, finally,Benjamin, the only son Jacob named. Then they journeyed on from Bethel; but when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe difficulties in her labor. And when she was suffering severe difficulties in her labor, the midwife said to her, Do not fear, for you have another son! And it came about, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin(Gen. 35:1618). Application The irony in Leahs story is striking: although she was overlooked by her father, unloved by her husband, and scorned by her younger sister, she was shown favor by God. Leah became the mother of seven children, including Levi and Judah. Through Levi, the priestly lineage was established, and through Judah, the royal line was formeda line that ultimately led to the birth of Jesus Christ! The promise God made to Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob... was Leahs promise. Listen to the prophetic blessing pronounced upon Judah by Jacob in Genesis 49:8-10, As for you, Judah, your brothers shall praise you;your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;your fathers sons shall bow down to you. Judah is a lions cub;from the prey, my son, you have gone up.He crouches, he lies down as a lion,and as a lion, who dares to stir him up? The scepter will not depart from Judah,nor the rulers staff from between his feet,until Shiloh comes;and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. The ugly wife was loved by God! Leah couldnt have seen it then, but the beauty God would bring through her lineage is staggering. Her name may meanweary,exhausted,gazelle, or evenwild cowyet through her would come the Deliverer promised to Adam and Eve, to Noah, to Abraham and Sarah, to Isaac, and now to Jacob. She was the wife no one loved or treasured, except God Himself. From Leahs sons came the tribe ofLevi, the tribe set apart to oversee the worship and sacrificial life of Israel. From the Levites, God appointed theHigh Priest, chosen from Aarons line, to mediate between God and His people. Upon his chest he wore a sacred breastplate adorned with twelve precious stones, each set in gold and engraved with the name of one of Israels tribes. Thefirst stone,sardiusa deep red rubyrepresentedReuben, whose name meansBehold, a son!Thelast stone,jasper, representedBenjamin, meaningson of my right hand. Leahs legacy was not measured by Jacobs affection but by Gods covenantal love. Through the unloved wife, God brought forth the priesthood that pointed to the Great High PriestJesus Christ. Conclusion Now, permit me to show you something from Revelation 4-5. In Revelation 4, John is invited to see the heavenly throne room of God. Notice what it is that John sees: After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things. Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and someone was sitting on the throne. And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. John is ushered into heavens throne room, and what captures his attention is that the One seated on the throne radiates with the colors of jasper and sardiusthe first and last stones on the High Priests breastplate. This is not accidental imagery. It is intentional revelation. What shines from the throne is He who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. When you pair the meanings of those names Behold, a Son and Son of My right handyou hear the gospel proclaimed from the very throne of God. Who is this Son at the right hand of the Father? Revelation 1:1718 gives the answer: Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and Hades. The One radiant like sardius and jasper is none other than Jesus Christ. And how do we know He sits at the right hand of the Father? Because Paul who himself was from the tribe represented by the jasper stonedeclares in Romans 8:3134: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring charges against Gods elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. This is the One who is worthy to open the scroll in the Fathers hand. Revelation 5:5 tells us, ...behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals. The elder tells John to look at the Lion of Judah. But when John turns, he doesnt see a lion. He sees a Lamb. A Lamb standing, as if slaughtered... (Rev. 5:6). Jacob chased after a beautiful woman whose name meant sheep, but through Leahthe unloved, weary wifewould come the Lamb of God. The Lamb who stands before the throne as the triumphant Redeemer. And all of heaven erupts in worship: Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing (Rev. 5:12). What is the point of Leahs story? God redeems what is ugly, weary, and rejected. He takes what the world despises and uses it to accomplish His glorious plan of redemption. This is why the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders sing a new song to Leahs descendant: Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation (Rev. 5:9). And here is where the story turns deeply personal. We are Leah. We are the unlovely bride. We are the weary, broken, and undeserving. But instead of being repulsed by us, Jesus loves us. He makes us His Bride. Paul writes, For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:3839). Leahs story ends not in sorrow, but in the songs of heaven. The woman who was unloved became the vessel through whom the Lamb of God would come. The tribe she bore would point to the Great High Priest, and the Son of her bodys lineage would one day stand at the right hand of the Father. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. That is our story too. If you belong to Christ, then your shame, your weariness, and your rejection are not the end of the story. The throne is. The Lamb is. His love is.

The Bible never hides the mess that happens when sinful people collide. It doesnt take much to recognize that since Adam and Eve were promised a descendant who would crush the head of the serpent, the story of Gods people is one of dysfunction. All who make up Jesus family tree include broken and messy people. When we come to Genesis 29, we meet Jacoba deceiverand Leah, the woman no one wanted. But their story began long before this moment. God had promised Abraham that through his descendants would come a child who would bless all nations. That promise passed to Isaac, and before his twins were born, God declared,The older shall serve the younger (Gen. 25:23). Jacob deceived his aging father, stole his brothers blessing, and fled for his life. Alone in the wilderness, with only a stone for a pillow, God met him in a dream.I am the LORD, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go (Gen. 28:1315). God didnt appear to Jacob because he finally got his act togetherHe showed up in Jacobs mess. Thats the beauty of grace: God steps into our brokenness, keeps His promises, and accomplishes His plan through imperfect people.

I'm Jeremy Rothe-Kushel, public interest producer, deep political analyst & Jewish American patriot of conscience.Here in late October 2025, a tentative alleged Gaza so-called peace deal is roughly unfolding—almost exactly two years after the initiation of the October 7th attacks & the subsequent genocidal response. But as American allies have recognized an apparently not yet existent & likely non-viable Palestinian state, there largely remains no serious journalistic investigation into the true & full origins of that day's terror.Was it really a surprise?

Im Gespräch zwischen Stefan Kaltenbrunner und Harry Bergmann geht es um Israels Situation nach dem Hamas-Angriff vom 7. Oktober 2024 und den Versuch, Frieden oder zumindest Stabilität zu erreichen. Bergmann schildert, wie der Antisemitismus in Europa stark zugenommen hat und jüdisches Leben zunehmend unsichtbar wird. Er beschreibt die israelische Gesellschaft als von Dauerkriegen und Angst geprägt, wodurch Mitgefühl gegenüber Palästinensern erschwert wird. Besonders kritisch äußert er sich zu sozialen Medien, die antisemitische Narrative verstärken und junge Menschen beeinflussen. Die Diskussion beleuchtet die Grenzen zwischen Israel-Kritik und Antisemitismus sowie die Unfähigkeit, differenziert über den Konflikt zu sprechen. Bergmann fordert, die Hamas als zentrales Hindernis für Frieden zu beseitigen, sieht aber keine kurzfristige Lösung. Er betont, dass der jüdische Antisemitismus längst Teil westlicher Gesellschaften geworden ist. Am Ende bleibt seine Sorge um die Juden außerhalb Israels größer als seine Hoffnung auf politischen Wandel.  Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.atTranskripte und Fotos zu den Folgen findest Du auf podcastradio.at

Die palästinensische Politik ist durch jahrzehntelange Besatzung und Israels gezielte Tötung und Inhaftierung populärer Führungspersönlichkeiten geschwächt worden. Israel, die USA und die Golfstaaten sind nun sehr zufrieden damit, ohne palästinensische Vertretung über den Wiederaufbau des Gazastreifens zu sprechen. Politische Anführer wie Marwan Barghouti und Ahmad Sa'adat müssen freigelassen werden, ihre Organisationen müssen offen über dieWeiterlesen

Der Waffenstillstand hat gehalten, trotz gegenseitiger Angriffe der Hamas und Israels. Verhandlungen zum Friedensplan von Donald Trump laufen in Ägypten weiter. Der Nahostexperte Guido Steinberg zeigt auf, wie wirtschaftliche Interessen den politischen Anliegen zum Durchbruch verhelfen sollen. Es ist ein Zeichen der Fragilität, dass der Waffenstillstand kurzzeitig gebrochen wurde. Es ist auch ein Zeichen der Stabilität, dass er nun wieder eingehalten wird. Dieser Schwebezustand könnte wochen- wenn nicht monatelang weitergehen. So die Einschätzung von Guido Steinberg, er ist Islam- und Nahostexperte bei der Stiftung für Wissenschaft und Politik in Berlin. Bemerkenswert sei die Art der Verhandlungen. Zuerst wurde ein sehr allgemeines Einverständnis beider Parteien eingefordert, bevor die Details und einzelne Schritte geklärt werden sollen. Diese Einigung kam unter maximalem Druck einerseits der USA auf Israel, andererseits von Katar und der Türkei auf die Hamas zustande. Im Vordergrund standen auch finanzielle Interessen. Wie erfolgversprechend ist diese Taktik mit Blick in die Zukunft? Kann es so gelingen, die Hamas zu entwaffnen? Der Nahostexperte Guido Steinberg ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

“Entonces Moisés llamó a Josué y le dijo en presencia de todo Israel: «Sé firme y valiente, porque tú entrarás con este pueblo en la tierra que el Señor ha jurado a sus padres que les daría, y se la darás en heredad. El Señor irá delante de ti; Él estará contigo, no te dejará ni te desamparará; no temas ni te acobardes».”Deuteronomio‬ ‭31‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NBLA‬‬

Nach 736 Tagen ist auch die letzte israelische Geisel aus der Gefangenschaft der Hamas befreit worden. Israel lässt im Gegenzug rund 2.000 palästinensische Gefangene frei und stellt die Kampfhandlungen erst einmal ein. Sehen wir hier den Anfang eines tatsächlichen Friedens in der Region, oder wird der Friedensplan nur von kurzer Dauer sein? Das erklären Matthias Wasinger vom Österreichischen Bundesheer und Maria Sterkl, Korrespondentin des STANDARD in Tel Aviv.

Vi ägnar hela veckans huvudepisod åt att prata Donald Trumps fredsplan för Gaza. Vi snackar det nödvändig andrummet för befolkningen, återlämningen av gisslan, de tusentals palestinier som hålls i israeliskt så kallad administrativt förvar, de olika faserna av planen, att Trump ska leda the ”Board of Peace” som ska styra över Gaza, det luddiga språket om Israels totala tillbakadragande, den stora frågan om palestinskt självbestämmande + mycket mer.

Som 15-åring började Greta Thunberg återkommande att sittstrejka utanför riksdagen och skapade genom sitt engagemang en global rörelse. Hon blev uppmärksammad av världsledare, tilldelades priser och utmärkelser – men fick också många fiender. När kriget i Gaza bröt ut skiftade Greta Thunberg fokus och protesterar och agerar nu mot Israels politik. Oavsett ämne skapar hon stora rubriker. Hur kommer det sig? Varför väcker hon starka känslor – åt precis alla håll? Och vad ska hon göra härnäst? Gäst: Eric Rosén, biträdande kulturchef på Aftonbladet. Programledare och producent: Olivia Svenson.

Auslandredaktorin Susanne Brunner bekam Anfang Jahr ein Mail vom unabhängigen Recherche-Kollektiv Viewfinder. Aus der einfachen Anfrage wurde eine journalistische Zusammenarbeit über die Landesgrenzen hinweg: USA, England, Deutschland und Israel.

Die Knesset stimmt für die Waffenruhe, die Terrororganisation Hamas will die Kämpfe im Gazastreifen beenden und die überlebenden Geiseln freilassen – auf Trumps Vermittlung. Ist dem US-Präsidenten der Friedensnobelpreis jetzt sicher?

Onsdag morgen border israelsk militær skibet Milad, der er på vej mod Gaza med nødhjælp. Skibets mål var at bryde Israels mangeårige blokade, som forhindrer mad og medicin i at komme ind til de nødlidende i det ødelagte Gaza. Ombord er syv aktivister, blandt andet danske Isaac Twomey-Madsen. Mindre end et døgn før, det sker, var Isaac Twomey-Madsen igennem på telefon fra det lille skib på Middelhavet – så podcasten du skal høre i det her afsnit er optaget, mens ingen endnu var tilbageholdt, og de stadig havde kurs mod Gaza. Normalt læser han litteraturvidenskab, men de seneste måneder har han arbejdet fuld tid på nødhjælpsprojektet. Og i det her afsnit fortæller han, hvordan han har været med til at skaffe penge, købe et skib og lære, hvad man gør, hvis man bliver anholdt af israelske soldater. Og om hvorfor det er så vigtigt for ham at sejle af sted mod Gaza med en last fuld af medicin og modermælkserstatning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Det har gått två år sen Hamas terrorattack mot Israel. Sen dess har Israel gjort allt för att slå ut terrorgruppen. Runt om i världen pågår demonstrationer och protester mot Israels krig mot Gaza. Även i Israel. Israel har hävdat sin rätt att försvara sig efter Hamas attack, men många har under åren ifrågasatt hur långt Israel ska gå i sin jakt på hämnd. Internationella domstolen i Haag i Nederländerna, utreder också om Israel har begått brott mot mänskliga rättigheter, om det som Israel gör är ett folkmord. Vad domstolen i Haag kommer med för beslut återstår att se. Hur är läget i Israel just nu? Vad tycker invånarna om kriget och vad tänker de om fredsförhandlingarna? Gäster: Emil Forsberg, reporter och Niclas Hammarström, fotograf, Aftonbladets team på plats i Israel. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren. Klipp från: CNN, BBC News.

Im Nahost-Konflikt beschuldigen sich die Kriegsparteien gegenseitig der Desinformation. Eine Recherche zeigt, wie Israel mit 3D-Videos um Deutungshoheit kämpft. Ausserdem: die Kantone und die Prämienverbilligungen. Und: die Reportage von der mexikanischen Grenze. Krieg um die Wahrheit: Israels 3D-Videos Seit zwei Jahren veröffentlicht das israelische Militär 3D-Videos zu seinen Angriffszielen: Spitäler und Wohngebäude, unter denen sich eine terroristische Kommandozentrale oder ein Waffenlager befinden sollen. Sie sollen belegen, dass die Angriffe auf zivile Infrastruktur gerechtfertigt sind. Die 3D-Videos gehen um die Welt: verbreitet in den sozialen Medien, von TV-Stationen und Nachrichtenagenturen. Obwohl sie als «Illustrationen» gekennzeichnet sind, werden die 3D-Modelle als Visualisierungen der Realität präsentiert. Eine Recherche. Kantone unter Druck: Kostenschub bei den Prämienverbilligungen Die steigenden Krankenkassenprämien sind für viele Menschen in der Schweiz eine Belastung. Parallel dazu steigen auch die Ausgaben für die Prämienverbilligungen an. Wie stark die Bürgerinnen und Bürger entlastet werden, ist von Kanton zu Kanton sehr unterschiedlich. Das soll sich ändern: Ab 2026 müssen sich die Kantone stärker an der Finanzierung der Prämienverbilligung beteiligen. Doch für einige Kantone ist das eine grosse finanzielle Last. Die «Rundschau» fragt nach. Kartelle und Fentanyl: Reportage von der mexikanischen Grenze An der mexikanischen Grenze sind Tausende mexikanische Soldaten im Einsatz, um Produktion und Export der tödlichen Droge Fentanyl zu stoppen. Auf der US-amerikanischen Seite patrouillieren an der Grenzmauer hochmoderne amerikanische Panzer und Drohnen. Sie setzen das von Präsident Trump versprochene harte Vorgehen gegen den Drogen- und Menschenschmuggel um. Die Reportage zeigt die Spannungen in der Grenzregion – denn das berüchtigte Sinaloa-Kartell wird nun von beiden Seiten angegriffen.

Das israelische Militär hat eine Flotte mit Hilfslieferungen für Palästinenser gestoppt und alle Aktivisten festgesetzt. Was will Israel nun mit ihnen tun? Und: Wie Europas Regierungen ihre Länder vor fremden Drohnen schützen wollen. (15:35) Grieß, Thielko

This episode takes a hard look at the controversies swirling around Charlie Kirk's death and the broader struggle over narrative control in American politics. The hosts reflect on Kirk's influence with younger audiences, the pressures and alleged “interventions” he faced, and claims that he rejected a massive funding offer tied to taking a more pro-Israel line. They trace how those tensions intersected with Turning Point events, campus debates, and the role of high-profile figures like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Dave Smith, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, arguing that the real fight is over who gets the microphone and how the message is framed.Throughout, they revisit the upheaval inside right-leaning media, speculation about finances and incentives, and the scramble to fill the void on college campuses and podcasts. Rather than pretending to have definitive answers, they emphasize uncertainty, push listeners to examine primary sources, and urge more people to speak openly—even imperfectly—about uncomfortable topics. If you've wondered how narratives take hold, why certain stories dominate while others disappear, or what it looks like when political, donor, and media interests collide, this discussion lays out the claims, counterclaims, and unresolved questions driving the current moment.00:00:00 Introduction & setting the stage00:06:45 Ian's background and worldview shifts00:17:30 Media narratives and controlled messaging00:28:10 Speaking out and breaking away from groupthink00:40:25 The role of faith, values, and truth-seeking00:54:00 Social media influence and censorship01:05:20 Daily Wire, influencers, and political funding01:17:40 The Hasbara PR strategy explained01:33:00 Propaganda, Gaza, and the framing of genocide01:55:23 Outro

Chicago and other sanctuary cities are bracing for ICE raids this week. Meanwhile, South Korea's top diplomat is heading to Washington DC, following the Hyundai factory raid in Georgia.

And, the four-year man hunt for a fugitive father in New Zealand comes to a tragic end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
