For first-century Hebrew Christians enduring severe social, economic, and physical persecution, the temptation to drift away from the apostolic message and retreat into the safer rituals of traditional temple Judaism was immense.To ground these suffering believers, the author of Hebrews constructed a brilliant legal and covenantal defense. The text demonstrates that the original creative intent of God was to establish complete human dominion over the earth and the world to come—an authority tragically forfeited by the first Adam at the Fall and illegally transferred to Satan. To justly reclaim this dominion, the Savior had to become a real human being. Through His life, suffering, and substitutionary death on the cross, Jesus defeated the devil, broke the power of the grave, paid the penalty for human sin, and brought a new family of brothers into a restored relationship with God.MAIN EXPOSITIONAL MOVEMENTSI. The Exclusivity of Human Governance over the Coming Age (Hebrews 2:5-8)The author resumes the primary theological argument by declaring that God did not subject the “world to come” (οἰκουμένη τὴν μέλλουσαν) to the authority or administrative control of angelic beings. In New Testament eschatology, this phrase refers directly to the literal, terrestrial Messianic Kingdom predicted throughout Old Testament prophecy and described in Revelation 20 as Christ's 1,000-year reign on earth. Citing Psalm 8:4-6, the author outlines the unique design of humanity. Though ontologically lower than angels because man is terrestrial (dust) rather than celestial (spirit), humanity was sovereignly crowned with glory and honor and appointed over the works of creation.II. The Tragedy of the Fall and Forfeiture of DominionThe comprehensive dominion outlined in Psalm 8 was initially deposited into the hands of the first man, Adam, acting as the federal head of human nature. Adam failed the test of covenantal love in Eden by violating the negative prohibition regarding the tree. Consequently, human dominion was lost and illicitly transferred to Satan, establishing him as the temporary “ruler of this world” (John 12:31). The text provides a sobering diagnosis of the current age: “But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him”. The immediate state of creation displays severe fragmentation, visible in the agricultural curse of Genesis 3 and the paradigm of natural terror introduced in Genesis 9.III. The Legal Necessity of the Incarnation and Atonement (Hebrews 2:9-13)Because a human head lost human dominion through sin, it was legally and transactionally essential that a genuine human head regain it. Jesus was made “for a little while lower than the angels” by assuming a true human nature and entering directly into the limitations of the human experience. By the sovereign grace of God, Christ tasted death on behalf of everyone (ὑπὲρ παντός), acting as a perfect substitutionary sacrifice to satisfy the righteous wrath of God against human rebellion. Because of His perfect obedience unto death, Jesus was resurrected, ascended, and is currently crowned with supreme glory and honor at the right hand of God, legally recapturing the dominion lost in Eden.IV. The Conquest of the Grave and the High Priestly Office (Hebrews 2:14-18)Since human children are bound to a nature of blood and flesh, Christ deliberately partook of the exact same physical reality. Christ utilized the very reality of physical death to break and render utterly powerless the devil, who previously held the power and authority of death. By emerging victorious over the grave, Christ dismantled the existential terror of death that kept humanity in lifelong spiritual slavery. Having offered His own body as a perfect propitiation (ἱλάσκεσθαι) to satisfy God's wrath, He currently sits at the right hand of the Father, operating as a faithful and merciful High Priest interceding for His people.
Confused by the book of Revelation and end-times prophecy? In this short, focused episode, Steve Wood explains the three major views of the Millennium in Revelation 20, giving you a clear framework for understanding biblical prophecy. Learn why the Kingdom of God is often misunderstood, how early Christians viewed the Messianic Kingdom, and why the Present-Day (Realized) Millennium has been the historic view of the Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, and most Protestants.

Join Southwest Radio Ministries host Josh Davis and special guest Dr. Jim Sibley on Watchman on the Wall. Many Christians struggle to understand Jesus' Messianic Kingdom. When it is misunderstood, error creeps into theology, errors like misunderstanding God's plans for Israel. This discussion on today's episode will clear up confusion on the Messianic Kingdom.
The national repentance of Israel is a major theme of Bible Prophecy, and is the precondition for the Second Coming of Christ. In this study, we see that Israel has a future in God, guaranteed by the everlasting Abrahamic, Davidic and Land Covenants, and the prophecies of the Old Testament Prophets which predict Israel's national repentance and salvation after being regathered to the Land (Ezekiel 36, Joel 2-3, Zechariah 12-14), especially the prophecy of the New Covenant with Israel in Jeremiah 31:31-34, confirmed in the New Testament: "blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:25-26). Although Israel has fulfilled much of God's Plan in bringing forth the Scriptures and the Messiah, she still has a major role in the bringing forth of God's Kingdom on earth (the Messianic Kingdom), which can only be established through a believing Israel, since it is based on and is the fulfilment of God's everlasting Covenants with Israel. This is why Israel's repentance and salvation through receiving Christ and His New Covenant is essential for the 2nd Coming of Christ and the establishment of His Kingdom. Israel's future repentance will complete the fulfilment of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), followed by the 2nd Coming at Tabernacles. Thus we can understand the importance of prayer for Israel's salvation.

God is faithful to his promises. In the Messianic Kingdom, Jesus ushers in a time of unparalleled blessing, prosperity, and peace. At this time, we see the ultimate fulfillment of the Abrahamic, New, and Davidic Covenants. Yet after 1,000 years, Satan is released from his captivity to deceive the nations once more. Soon, Satan's forces are defeated, and all tho who didn't believe in Jesus take part in the second resurrection and the second death. Finally after judgment, God creates a new heaven and a new earth, where he will dwell with his people forever.Bible Readings2 Peter 3:1-18Revelation 21Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In Matthew 10:11–23, Jesus sends His disciples on a mission specifically to Israel. This mission comes after the religious leaders rejected Him, and the Kingdom's offer was being postponed. At this stage, the mission does not include the Gentiles. Instead, it focuses on the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." The purpose of this mission was to identify, gather, strengthen, and prepare the believing Jewish remnant who recognized Jesus as Messiah. Jesus tells the disciples to continue proclaiming that "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," but the nature of the Kingdom program begins to shift. With Israel's national rejection, Jesus begins introducing what Scripture later calls the Mystery Kingdom—the present spiritual phase of the Kingdom, while the physical Messianic Kingdom is delayed. This mission comes before the Great Commission and reflects the biblical pattern of evangelism: "to the Jew first and also to the Gentile." But the mission to Israel does not end with the disciples. In this passage, Jesus gives prophecies that clearly extend far beyond their lifetime, including persecution before councils, testimony before governors and kings, family betrayal, and global hatred toward His followers. Most importantly, Jesus makes a remarkable statement: "You will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes." This shows that the mission to Israel continues through to the Second Coming. Matthew 10 connects directly with the themes later expanded in the Olivet Discourse. The proclamation of the Kingdom continues among the Jewish people until Messiah returns. This passage also exposes the fatal flaw in Replacement Theology. If God were finished with Isr

Jesus has made it clear He is going to reward His followers who faithfully serve Him in this life because it is His right and it pleases Him to do so. Jesus is generous. Amazingly, He will be generous in the rewards with which He will reward His faithful in the Messianic Kingdom (i.e. hundredfold).
Join Pastor Derek Walker from the Oxford Bible Church as he delves into the intriguing theme of the Postponement of the Messianic Kingdom. Explore the reasons why Jesus did not establish His Kingdom immediately after His resurrection, and the implications of this for the Church Age. He offers insights into the transition from the Old to the New Testament and the eventual fulfilment of all the biblical prophecies. This video provides a major key to a comprehensive understanding of Bible Prophecy and the future establishment of God's Kingdom on earth. In the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ the prophesied Kingdom of God was OFFERED to Israel, but she REJECTED her appointed King and His Messianic Kingdom, so it was POSTPONED until Israel is ready to receive Jesus as her Messiah-King. Meanwhile God revealed the Mystery of the Church Age.

This week we look at the calling of Moses. We discuss the Burning Bush and how the redemption of the children of Israel shows the plan of redemption for all men from the Garden of Eden to the coming of Messiah and the Messianic Kingdom. We look at why Adonai uses this moment in time and in particular Moses as the template for redemption and the Torah as the instruction manual that is also the blueprint for life.
The sermon presents a comprehensive exploration of Zechariah's eight night visions, emphasizing God's sovereign plan to restore Israel and prepare for the Messianic Kingdom. Central to the message is the assurance that divine success is not achieved by human strength or power, but by God's Spirit, as illustrated in the vision of the golden lampstand and olive trees, where Zerubbabel's leadership is affirmed despite obstacles. The subsequent visions—of a flying scroll, a woman in a basket, and four chariots—reveal God's intent to purge sin, idolatry, and evil systems from the earth before establishing His eternal reign. The symbolic coronation of Joshua as both priest and king points forward to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who fulfills the roles of priest, king, and prophet, and whose return will usher in a Millennial Kingdom. The sermon concludes with a call to faithfulness, reminding believers that their present trials are part of a divine training for future reign, grounded in the unchanging promises of Scripture.
An episode from Berean Baptist Church, an independent body of King James Bible believers located in Springfield Missouri. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning. We believe that God's Word has been divinely preserved in the English language and commonly known as the Authorized King James Version. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version shall be the official and only translation used by the church. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final authority of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that this statement of faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible.You may visit Berean Baptist Church's website https://bereansgf.org/ or write to them at:507 East Norton Rd,Springfield, MO 65803 The KJV Bible Preaching Churches Podcast is directly supported by Doss Metrics LLC | Ministry Services based out of Cleveland Texas.

The Transfiguration makes clear that the rejection, murder and resurrection of Jesus does not mark the cancelation of the promised earthly Messianic Kingdom (vss.10-11). The Transfiguration was a glimpse of the coming Kingdom.

An episode from Berean Baptist Church, an independent body of King James Bible believers located in Springfield Missouri. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning. We believe that God's Word has been divinely preserved in the English language and commonly known as the Authorized King James Version. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version shall be the official and only translation used by the church. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith.

The post The Messianic Kingdom | Zechariah 12-14 appeared first on Immanuel Baptist Church - Wausau, WI.
In this in–depth study from Isaiah 14, Pastor Brandon unpacks the fall of Satan, the layers of Hebrew idioms in the passage, and the prophetic connection between Lucifer, the Antichrist, and the future Messianic Kingdom. This session walks verse by verse through the famous “Five I Wills,” revealing the pride that corrupted the anointed cherub and how the same Luciferian mindset continues to manifest in the world today. Discover how Isaiah intertwines past, present, and future events to show the original rebellion of Satan and the judgment that awaits him. Learn why Scripture refers to him not as “Lucifer,” but as *Halel ben Shachar*, the shining one, and how ancient Jewish interpretation, prophetic patterns, and New Testament revelation all converge to form a complete picture of his fall. Pastor Brandon also explains: • The true meaning of “fallen from heaven” • Why Satan's fall is an idiom for judgment and disgrace • The role of the anointed cherub and his original position before God • The prophetic meaning of the five “I Will” statements • Why Satan still believes he can win • How the Antichrist will attempt to fulfill Satan's ancient ambitions • The millennial reign of Christ and why God releases Satan after a thousand years • How human pride mirrors Lucifer's rebellion • The coming judgment of the abyss and the final lake of fire This teaching digs deep into prophetic themes, Hebrew linguistics, ancient Near Eastern context, and the unfolding spiritual battle described throughout Scripture. It also reminds every believer to guard their heart from pride and to walk humbly before the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit illuminate the Word as you study. All glory to the Most High.

Join Christine Darg on the Jerusalem Channel as we delve into the development of eschatological ideas throughout biblical history. From the Assyrian crisis to the rise of the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great, discover Israel's evolution of prophetic hopes and expectations. This episode explores the impact of historical events on Jewish eschatological thoughts, including the Day of the Lord, the Messianic kingdom, and the promise of a new covenant. Learn how these ancient beliefs continue to shape contemporary faith and understanding.
Jesus has been rejected by the nation of Israel. His offer of the Messianic Kingdom has been withdrawn from that generation. Through the following parables Jesus reveals the nature of the interim Kingdom. He is preparing His disciples for their role in interim Kingdom.
Over the last few months we have been focusing attention on the Spirit of God. We noted that in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Spirit of God is particularly seen in relation to creation, among Israel in the progression of her history, and with respect to Israel during the Messianic Kingdom.Then we turned our attention to what the New Testament Scriptures teach about the Spirit of God. First, we learned that the Spirit of God is a person. Second, we saw that, while there are angelic and human persons, the Spirit of God is a divine person. Then we looked at two ministries of the Spirit of God, the ministries of conviction, and of bearing witness of Messiah.In this message, we explore the Spirit of God's ministry of imparting life, eternal life. It is what is meant by being "born again" and "becoming a new creation" (John 3:3, 7; II Corinthians 5:17).This is also what is meant by regeneration (Titus 3:5). And the Spirit's ministry of regeneration comes to fruition by means of the word of God. Peter writes, "...since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God" (I Peter 1:23).James similarly states, "Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures" (James 1:18). The word of truth is of course a reference to the sacred Scripture that imparts life.YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/vECx3B9nQmwSend us a text
Derek Walker describes the Millennial Temple drawing from many scriptures in Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah & Zechariah. Discover how the concept of God's dwelling with man is central to biblical revelation, from the original earthly Temple in Eden to its ultimate fulfilment in the Millennial reign of Christ - the times of restoration of all things, when the Land of Israel will be restored to be like the original Eden. The Millennial Temple, at the peak of the Mountain of the Lord, in Israel, will be at the heart of the restoration of God's Kingdom on earth at Christ's Return. Christ will reign over the whole earth from its Holy of Holies, and a River of Life will flow from it into Jerusalem, and then divide into 2 rivers to the west and to the east. This episode provides God's vision for the climax of human history in the Messianic Kingdom and the greatest of the earthly Temples, the closest image of the heavenly Temple, which therefore also provides deep insights into the nature and operation of redeemed Man in Christ - God's ultimate, eternal Temple.
In this episode of Exploits, Christine Darg explores the prophetic significance of Israel in end-times narratives. With emphasis on biblical prophecies, she discusses the transition from the Church Age to the Messianic Kingdom and the restoration of Israel. The episode highlights the fulfillment of biblical promises, the resurgence of anti-Semitism, and the spiritual importance of supporting Israel. Christine also addresses viewers to understand the times through the lens of scripture.
Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews some of the controversy surrounding Romans 9:3-6, and what “not all Israel are of Israel” contextually means. Does it speak of non-Jewish Believers in Israel's Messiah? Or, does it instead speak of how not all Jewish people will be regarded as a part of the Messianic Kingdom? This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.
Psalm 66 is a beautiful song of praise to God; a psalm composed to bring glory to His great name. It looks to the days of the Messianic Kingdom when the whole earth will bend the knee to Israel's King Messiah. But if this psalm praises God's name, why is His name not mentioned a single time? Come delve into this amazing and uplifting psalm.

In this powerful message from Matthew 3:1–12, we unpack the real purpose behind John the Baptist's ministry—and how it demanded a radical shift in Israel's perspective. John wasn't just calling for personal reflection—he was announcing the soon arrival of YHWH and the literal, physical, Messianic Kingdom promised to Israel. This wasn't some vague Greco-Roman idea of an inner kingdom in the heart. It was a national, earthly reign just as the prophets foretold. John's baptism symbolized a public commitment to believe God's message and accept the Messiah when He appeared. It pointed forward to the cleansing and forgiveness God would offer through Jesus (cf. Ezekiel 36:25–27; Zechariah 13:1). Those who believed John's message were spiritually prepared for the coming of Christ. This sermon invites you to reconsider your own perspective. Are you seeing reality clearly—or through the wrong lens?

Today's Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, is celebrated annually on the Monday after Pentecost. It was officially added to the Church's calendar by Pope Francis in 2018. As outlined in an address by Pope John Paul II, the Blessed Mother's role as Mother of the Church can be traced back to four significant events. The first is the Annunciation, where Mary was called to give her consent to the coming of the Messianic Kingdom, which would take place with the formation of the Church. The second event which helps clarify the Blessed Mother's role in the formation of the Church happens at the wedding feast of Cana. Mary asks her Son to exercise his Messianic power in changing water into wine, implanting faith in the lives of the first century disciples. The third event takes place at Calvary. The Crucified Christ proclaims Mary's motherhood of all the faithful when he proclaims: “Woman, behold your Son.” This was not just addressed to John the Evangelist, Pope John Paul II explained, but to all the faithful, including ourselves 1992 years later. The fourth instance of Mary's motherhood of the Church is recognized by St. Luke in Acts 1:14 in today's alternative reading, in which Luke describes the early Christians gathering together in prayer. Specifically, it states that all the apostles, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers were present and united in prayer. This verse follows our Lord's Ascension into heaven as they were waiting for the arrival of the promised Holy Spirit. The verse highlights the unity of the early Church and the Blessed Mother's prayerful presence imploring the gift of the Holy Spirit for all, the same Holy Spirit that had overshadowed her during the Annunciation. The Church is like a mother, generating life by giving birth, but also helping her children to grow through the sacraments and accompanying us through our entire lives. For St. Jerome, “The Church is nothing other than the souls of those who believe in Christ,” carefully watched over by the Mother of the Church, our Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.
God is faithful to his promises. In the Messianic Kingdom, Jesus ushers in a time of unparalleled blessing, prosperity, and peace. At this time, we see the ultimate fulfillment of the Abrahamic, New, and Davidic Covenants. Yet after 1,000 years, Satan is released from his captivity to deceive the nations once more. Soon, Satan's forces are defeated, and all tho who didn't believe in Jesus take part in the second resurrection and the second death. Finally after judgment, God creates a new heaven and a new earth, where he will dwell with his people forever.Bible Readings2 Peter 3:1-18Revelation 21Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Teaching through the book of Zechariah at our Saturday Shabbat services has been an amazing experience for me. I've learned so much and our congregations were so excited to take a "deep dive" into the promise of our Messiah's return, the restoration of Israel and the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom.Over the next few weeks at our services I will be speaking on the return or second coming of Yeshua our Messiah. Many suppose that the promise of the return of Yeshua is of secondary concern; yet, interestingly, it is prominent in the Scriptures.It is said that there are some 300 prophecies of the first coming of Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures, and nearly three times as many prophecies of Yeshua's second coming. Sometimes these second coming prophecies are inseparably connected to first coming prophecies, but not always.The Lord is coming and He's coming soon. If we need to repent and turn to Him we should, because He's coming soon. If we need to love Him (or perhaps love Him more) we should, because He's coming soon. Are you ready for His coming?Maranatha! Even so come, Lord Yeshua!YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/9ktgMqWai2sSend us a text
Daily Dose of Hope February 23-24, 2025 Days 1 & 2 of Week 48 Scripture: Zechariah 9-14; Psalm 94; 1 John 5; 2 John 1 Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily reading plan. I have to apologize that I didn't send a devotional yesterday. With the women's conference, I totally forgot! Please forgive me. I am combining yesterday and today's Scripture for today's devotional. Let's start with Zechariah. The rest of the book is very different from what we have already read. We get to see images and allusions that describe the coming of the Messianic Kingdom. In chapters 9 and 10, we read about the coming of the Messianic king who rides into Jerusalem on a donkey. Does this remind anyone of anything? Maybe Jesus riding into Jerusalem in the Palm Sunday passage? But in chapter 11, this king is now represented by a shepherd who is caring for his flock and he is rejected. He is first rejected by his people and then by the leaders. And the price that he is worth? Thirty pieces of silver. Again, we see these themes that are echoed in Jesus' betrayal story. In chapters 12-14, we see images and themes related to the future Kingdom again. But they are a bit different. It's obvious that God is going to confront evil and defeat it. How does he address his own people? Well, he pours out his Spirit on them so they can repent and realize the errors of their ways. Then, we see a gathering of the nations in the new Jerusalem and we get a picture of the River of Life flowing out of the Temple, bringing healing and restoration to all of creation. Zechariah is a lot. There is a lot of symbolism and deep imagery. What are some of your thoughts? What were your big takeaways from this book? Let's head over to the New Testament. We start with I John 5. At the end of John's first letter, he continues to focus on what it means to love God. God is love and all he does is out of love. When we love him, our mission is to follow his commands AND demonstrate his love to others. In fact, loving God and others cannot be separated. John continues to weave this theme through every chapter of the letter. I want to especially focus on one verse today. Take a moment and read verse 15 again...brief but very important. Why is John writing this letter? To lead people to faith in Jesus and the assurance of eternal life. Let's look at the wording again, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” That is John's mission statement. He is all about pointing people to a closer, deeper relationship with Jesus, one in which they are assured of eternal life, SO THAT they can do the same for others. What's your mission statement? I feel like, as a whole, Christ-followers have experienced mission drift. We have focused on battling culture (a losing battle) rather than leading people to Jesus. You may disagree with me and that's okay. I've really done a lot of reflecting lately on my own mission. My mission is to demonstrate the love of Christ in all I do, teach the truths of the faith, and point people to Jesus. Take some time today and write your mission statement. What do you need to do in life to get in alignment with your mission? We also are looking at 2 John. John's second letter is the second shortest book in the New Testament. John clearly wants to encourage his followers and motivate them to action. He wants them to love each other, walk closely with the Lord, and avoid false teachers. This book and 3 John are the only books in which John refers to himself as the elder. This connotates his position in the community and his relationship to the listeners. By this point, he was older but the term itself most likely points to his authority in the church. Interestingly, the recipient of the letter is “the chosen lady and her children.” This wording has led to all kinds of discussion in the scholarly literature. Is this a specific woman John is referring to? Most likely, no. John is probably referring to a local church and its members. The term “chosen lady” would have been one of respect and admiration. This chapter gets to the core of John's message to the church. First, love one another. What does love look like? When we walk in obedience to God's commands, when we live in truth and do what God called us to do. Two words for today: LOVE and TRUTH. We love God when we obey him and live his truth in meaningful ways. Part of this obedience is loving others. Love of God and love of others cannot be separated. They are intricately linked. Over and over again, John is making this point. How are you living God's truth? How are you loving others? This is not an either/or proposition. It's a both/and command. This is hard stuff, my friends. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Finally after judgment, God creates a new heaven and a new earth, where he will dwell with his people forever.Readings: 2 Peter 3:1-18, Revelation 21Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!Support the show: Tap here to become a monthly supporter!Review the show: Tap here!Want to go deeper?...Download the Bible Brief App!iPhone: App Store LinkAndroid: Play Store LinkWebsite: biblebrief.orgInstagram: @biblelitTwitter: @bible_litFacebook: @biblelitEmail the Show: biblebrief@biblelit.orgThis episode primarily uses the ESV Bible translation, but may also use CSB, NASB, and NKJV.Search Tags: bible, beginner, bible verse, god, verse of the day, prayer, jesus, bible study, scripture, learn, bible introduction, introduction, intro to the bible, introduction to the bible, beginner bible, bible overview, how to read the bible, what is the bible about, bible story, bible stories, what is the bible, ...
