Saturday, 14 March 2026   An explanation of the overall pictorial contents of Matthew 17.   Chapter 17 of Matthew completes a picture that has been ongoing for several chapters. In Chapter 14, there was a snapshot of Israel's history in relation to the law. Chapter 15 then gave a picture of what is going on in the world from the time Jesus fulfilled the law until the rapture. Chapter 16 revealed a passage that petitions the Jews of the end times to consider who Jesus is based on their own history, comparing it to how He is portrayed in Scripture.   Chapter 17 began with the words “after six days.” It is a reference to the six days of creation, which mirror the six thousand years of man's time before the millennium, the seventh day, the day of God's rest on earth –   “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.” Isaiah 11:10   Jesus took Peter, James, and John up on a high mountain. Peter is the apostle to the circumcision (Galatians 2:7), James was the first apostle to die, and John was the last. This is an honor that James and John had sought, but in a different way –   “Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. 21 And He said to her, ‘What do you wish?' She said to Him, ‘Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.'” Matthew 20:20, 21   In one respect, Jesus granted the request concerning the placement of apostolic honor. These three men form a triad of witnesses to the Jews. There on the high mountain, Jesus metamorphosed before them. Moses and Elijah, representing the law and the prophets as well as the living and the dead, appeared along with Jesus.   Peter, whose epistles are strategically placed after Paul's, indicating they are addressed to the end times Jews after the church age, offered to build three tabernacles, dwelling places, for them. The voice of the Father came out of the cloud, noting that it is His Son, Jesus, in whom He is well pleased, and that they were to hear Him.   It is the final lesson of the end times. The law and prophets are not what the Jews are to focus on, but Jesus. It is His glory alone that will take them into the millennium, the law being finally removed from Israel (see Hebrews 8:13).   While descending the mountain, the disciples asked Him why the scribes said that Elijah was to come first. Jesus said, “Elijah indeed, he comes first, and he will reconstitute all” (17:11). Elijah is literally coming back to witness to Israel. However, Jesus also noted that Elijah had come already. The disciples understood this to mean John the Baptist.   The indication is that Israel will understand from these two appearances that they missed the ball, and the troubles they have faced were a self-inflicted wound. Verses 14-17 detail the healing of the man's son. No names of people or locations were given, just a description of the boy being moonstruck and suffering badly because he frequently fell into the fire and f  requently into the water.   It is a picture of Israel in their history before the Lord, completely untreatable, even by the disciples (their witness to Israel) –   “Your affliction is incurable, Your wound is severe. 13 There is no one to plead your cause, That you may be bound up; You have no healing medicines.” Jeremiah 30:12, 13   See also Micah 1:8,9.   Jesus called them a faithless and perverse generation, something that exactingly describes Israel. It is a point stated to the Jews by Peter in Acts 2:40. Despite their failure, it says that Jesus rebuked the demon, and it left the child that very hour. Israel's wound will be cured immediately at the return of Christ.   When the disciples asked why they couldn't cast it out, Jesus said it was because of their unbelief and that that kind could only go out by fasting and prayer. Jesus doesn't say who must fast and pray. Rather, He says it is a part of such healing.   Fasting is a sign of mourning and repentance toward God. Prayer is the means by which God is petitioned.  In the future, at the time of Christ's return, Israel will, like ancient Nineveh, fast and pray to the Lord. When they do, they will be healed.   The final verses of the chapter referred first to them “overturning” in the Galilee (verse 22). The word was anastrephó. As explained, one can return without any intent or change in the way things are, or one can return while considering, making changes, redirecting to something new, etc. It is also used as a word indicating contrast.   It is the state of Israel after having been healed. There is a return with a considered change, redirecting them to something new. They will enter the New Covenant, returning to God in a new way. That wording is based on Jesus' words about the Son of Man being betrayed into the hands of men, being killed, and being raised on the third day (verse 23).   That is the exact gospel Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4. Israel will be overturned in their thinking by finally accepting, as Paul says, “the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved” (1 Corinthians 15:1,2).   In verse 24, it says that they came to Capernaum. The name is derived from kaphar, to cover, as in atonement, and Nahum, the name of the prophet. However, Nahum is derived from nakham, to sigh. The sense of the word extends to regretting, feeling sorry, and being or getting comfort.   All three of these are tied up in the thought of salvation. While in this location, those who received the temple tax asked if the Teacher paid the tax. Peter's answer in verse 25 was that He did. The tax, as explained, was based on the ransom money (silver) described in Exodus 30:11-16. It is the money representing salvation through Christ's sacrifice, ransoming man from the power of the devil.   Still in verse 25, Jesus preanticipated Peter by asking about paying such taxes, does that come from the king's sons or from unfamiliars (those outside the family). The word used was prophthanó, to get an earlier start on a matter.   Jesus didn't just speak of the matter of Israel's salvation before they asked for it. He spoke of the matter before they could ask. In other words, the Bible has clearly proclaimed that Israel will once again be God's people. Their ransom money had been procured long before they knew there was a need for it. This was preanticipated by God in Christ.   Peter's response to Jesus about the tax was from unfamilars. Jesus said, “Hence, the sons, they are exempt.” It is a point that will apply to Israel after the Lord returns. Being sons of God (as a nation), once again, they will be free from such payment.   Verse 27 described the manner in which Peter would find such a coin to pay the taxes. It was provided by Jesus in a miraculous way. Likewise, Israel will not pay anything for their ransom. Rather, it will be provided by Christ's all-sufficient payment at the cross of Calvary.   The final words of the chapter recorded Jesus' words to Peter, “That, having taken, you give to them for Me and you.” Jesus' work leading to His resurrection is what validated both His and Israel's sonship.   For Jesus, that is recorded in Romans 1:4, where it says, “and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” See also Hebrews 1:5.   For Israel of the end times, pictured by Peter, the apostle to the circumcision, it is belief in the gospel that will bring about their state of sonship. The tax is paid through the miracle-working power of God in Christ.   Life application: Chapter 17 of Matthew clearly indicates that there is a future for Israel, the people. They are restored to the land of Israel as prophesied in God's word. They will never be uprooted from it again, according to that same word –   “‘I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. 15 I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,' Says the Lord your God.” Amos 9:14, 15   This is good news for Israel. However, for Israel at this time, the news is not so good. They are not currently God's people (Hosea 1:9, 10 & Romans 9:25, 26). Not being God's people, they are also not sons of God. That right has been stripped from them at this time.   Rather, Jesus clearly notes that their father is the devil –   “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” John 8:44-47   To reject Jesus is to reject God because Jesus is God and the Son of the Father. Jesus calls Israel during this dispensation a “synagogue of Satan” in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Calling them God's people at this time does a disservice to them. What they need is evangelism, not coddling, sycophancy, fawning, or flattering.   They are not right with God, and not to evangelize them, when you have the opportunity to do so, can only continue them down the path leading to the Lake of Fire. This is important. Israel needs Jesus. Without Him, they are like any other nation on the planet that lacks Jesus Christ. Be bold in your proclamation of Jesus Christ to all people, Jew and Gentile alike.   Lord God, help us to think rightly about our conversations with others. Help us to remember that without Jesus, they are on a one-way path to eternal condemnation. May we boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all people. Amen.

Nahum part 3. Looking at the fact that God is a jealous God.

Prorok Nahum maluje obrazy vysychajících řek, chvějících se hor a temnoty, která dopadá na odpůrce. Připomíná tak, že Ten, kdo stvořil svět, jej také drží ve svých rukou a má moc jím otřást. To, co lidé považují za pevné a nedotknutelné, se může v jediném okamžiku rozpadnout. Tento podcast můžete podpořit na https://radio7.cz

Nahum vystupuje přibližně sto let po proroku Jonášovi, který přinesl Ninive šanci na záchranu. Tehdy se město na čas odvrátilo od zla. Jenže další generace varování přeslechla. To, co bylo kdysi probuzením, se změnilo v zatvrzelost. Nahum už nepřichází s výzvou k pokání, ale s oznámením, že rozhodnutí padlo. Tento podcast můžete podpořit na https://radio7.cz

What sort of book is Nahum? Nahum 1:1 prepares us for the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In this verse of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Nahum is divine Scripture that hangs the weight of certain judgment around the neck of Nineveh, and all the enemies of God. The book of Nahum delivers a solemn and weighty prophecy against Nineveh, portraying God's inevitable judgment on evil. Though Nineveh had previously repented in the days of Jonah, Nahum reveals that its sin has now reached a point of no return. The prophecy, given as a vision and later inscribed in Scripture, underscores that God's word is the ultimate authority for faith and life. The name Nahum, meaning 'comfort,' highlights the deep solace found in God's certain destruction of evil. The prophet's obscure origin emphasizes that true significance lies in divine appointment and faithful service. Ultimately, the message calls believers to take sin seriously, flee to Christ, and find lasting peace in the certainty of God's righteous judgment.

Although Nahum's name means “comfort”, that comfort is found in trusting God amid judgment: those who know Christ can find refuge even when God's wrath falls on the wicked.

Over the next weeks, we'll be revisiting Lance's series called “The Lord is in the Whirlwind and the Storm”. In this episode, Lance shares part 3 from this series on Nahum. This episode is called “As Seen in Believers” May the Lord by His grace prove the faith He has placed in you.

In this sermon, we looked at the story of Nahum and were reminded that God's justice and God's love are not opposites but work together for the healing of His world. We saw how Nahum speaks to a weary and wounded people, assuring them that God is not indifferent to their suffering and that evil will not have the final word. God's judgment was revealed not as impulsive anger, but as love's settled response to deep-rooted evil—a picture of a God who is slow to anger, yet unwilling to allow injustice to endure forever. We were then pointed to Jesus, where justice and mercy meet fully at the cross. The good news of redemption is that the judgment Nahum announces is ultimately absorbed by Christ, so that sinners can take refuge in God and the wounded can trust that evil will one day be fully brought to an end.

From Sunday, 2/8, CrossLife member Beau Barrera brings a message from the final chapter of Nahum. Listen as Beau teaches of God's redemption and how He delivers His people from the evils of the world.

Affliction doesn't get to forecast your future. In this message, Alan unpacks the words of Nahum 1:9: "Affliction shall not rise a second time." He explores the difference between affliction that is permitted for preparation and affliction that seeks to oppress and dominate—and what changes when God speaks not just a promise, but a judicial decree that settles a matter. Drawing from the lives of Joseph, Mordecai, the Exodus story, and the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment, this teaching addresses recurring cycles—old pain resurfacing, fear of regression, emotional bracing, and the sense that past struggles might return. Instead, it points to a shift into established favor, where affliction loses jurisdiction, joy is restored, and the future is no longer shaped by what once ruled. Affliction ends. Favor remains. And God establishes His people for what comes next.

God's judgment is real, and it's coming. When we refuse to turn toward God and the forgiveness He offers, judgment becomes unavoidable. That's what happened in the time of the prophet Nahum, when the nation of Assyria remained proud and unrepentant, so God brought them down. Today, Pastor Ken offers you a sober reminder: judgment isn't just a past reality—it's a future one. Now is your time to turn to God, to receive His mercy while it's still being offered.

Bible Study God's callings and God's assignments are not the same. An assignment is a specific instruction from God, often temporary, that serves a purpose within or alongside a lifelong calling. Abraham was called to be the father of many nations, yet his life was shaped by a series of assignments—leaving his homeland, walking in covenant, and obeying step by step—even when he didn't fully understand the calling. In the same way, Peter was called to be a fisher of people, but he still received short-term assignments like catching a fish to meet a temporary need. Jonah was called to be a prophet to Israel, yet God gave him a side assignment to go to Nineveh, proving that even assignments outside our main calling matter deeply to God. Assignments can change, come and go, and even feel uncomfortable, but they must be obeyed faithfully. We are not meant to live in assignments forever, but to complete them and return to walking in our calling. Ultimately, assignments are what we do for God, but a calling is who God made us to be. __________ Genesis 12:1–4 NLT, Genesis 17:1–5 NLT, Matthew 4:18–19 NLT, Matthew 17:27 NLT, 2 Kings 14:25 NLT, Jonah 1:1–4 NLT, Jonah 1:15–17 NLT, Jonah 2:7,10 NLT, Jonah 3:1–3 NLT, Jonah 3:6–10 NLT, Jonah 4:1–3 NLT, Jonah 4:11 NLT, Nahum 3:1 NLT, Zephaniah 2:13 NLT, Genesis 17:4 NLT, Genesis 12:1 NLT, Matthew 4:19 KJV, Matthew 17:27 NLT, 2 Kings 14:25 NLT, Jonah 1:2 NLT, Romans 11:29 NLT, Romans 1:1 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

He cares for those who trust in him,” – Nahum 1:7, NIV During the winter – when the days are shortest, the weather is coldest, and the festive energy of the holidays has worn off – many people struggle with feeling sad and tired. The winter can feel like an unending time of trouble since it’s a dark, cold season that seems to drag on forever. But in this fallen world, there are so many challenges that you can experience trouble anytime. Thankfully, this Bible verse reminds you that God is a refuge you can turn to in times of trouble. A refuge is a safe place with reliable help. God is the ultimate refuge for you, whenever you’re facing any kind of trouble. God is always purely good. He doesn’t change with the seasons or with your feelings. God’s goodness is a constant truth you can build your life on. The Bible doesn’t promise that you won’t experience trouble. In fact, it often acknowledges that trouble is a part of life in this broken world. Jesus says straight out in John 16:33 that: “in this world you will have trouble”. But he adds in that same verse: “But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Nahum 1:7 assures you that you don't have to face trouble alone. You can take refuge in God, who is completely trustworthy in every situation. The second part of this verse gives you the confidence that God “cares for those who trust in him.” The same God who created the vast universe and knows every star by name cares about the specific challenges you’re facing right now. He cares about the sadness and stress you’re feeling, and he hears your prayers and plans to answer them. When other people don’t really care about how sad or exhausted you feel, you can relax and be honest with God. God will listen to how you really feel, and he really cares. But God also asks you to trust him. Trust is the key that unlocks God’s care in your life. How can you trust God to care for you? You need to let go of the need to control the outcomes of the troubling situations you’re facing. Just like you can’t control the temperature or the amount of daylight in winter, and you can’t force yourself to feel better. But you can choose to surrender your struggle to God, and you can trust that God will help you with whatever you need when you ask for his help. So, talk with God honestly. Share all of your difficult feelings with God, and tell him you’re choosing to trust him to help you with what you need. Then, rest in the reality that God will keep his promises. God promises to be a refuge for you in times of trouble. He promises to care for you when you trust him. So, choose to believe that God will really do that! In the cold, dark days of winter, trusting God allows you to stop worrying about finding the warmth and light you need. Instead, you get to rest in the warmth and light of God’s presence with you. You can take a deep breath and remember that God’s goodness is your greatest resource. God is watching over you, guiding you, and providing for you – even in times of trouble. Take the pressure off yourself to be cheerful when you’re feeling sad, or to be productive when you’re tired. Just focus on connecting with God’s presence with you, and trusting God to help you. God is good, he is your refuge, and he cares for you. Let God’s care be the strength that gets you through times of trouble. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider why it’s important to trust God to care for you in times of trouble, reflect on these questions: What kind of trouble are you currently facing? How does knowing that God is a refuge for you change how you view the trouble you’re going through right now? Does it feel less overwhelming? What’s a situation in your life where you’re trying to control the outcome? How can you trust God to help you with that situation so you can relax and experience God’s best for you? When was a time in the past when you were going through a time of trouble and God cared for you then? How can you remind yourself this week to trust God more when you’re feeling sad or tired?
