THE CALL of the HEZEKIAH COMPANY

Entry 46

Continued Stedfastly in the Apostles’ Doctrine

2Chr 30:21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto the LORD.

2Chr 30:22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

vs 21- Today the children of Israel are those who are born again and abide in Christ. "And if ye [be] Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise,"(Gal 3:29). Jerusalem, is for us, that city made without hands that comes down from God out of Heaven. "But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city", (Heb 11:16). "Seven days" represents to us that we have a complete sacrifice made for us in Jesus Christ in whom we may now rest and by whom we have been, are being, and will continue to be sanctified. For us the great gladness speaks of joy unspeakable "because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us". (Romans 5:5)

vs 22 - Jesus our Lord speaks comfortably to us. 

"Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light." (Matt 11:28-30)

"for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Heb 13:5)

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John14:16-18)

"But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:26-27)

By this Holy Spirit, Jesus endued the Apostles with the Word of Truth which we have in written form today. As the Levites and Priests did, so too these Apostles have taught us the word of God in writing and by the Spirit. By this same Spirit of God, we too may understand the word of God and teach others. We too as these Apostles have Jesus Christ's words of comfort.

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages. 

Set your ears upon Him as you read.

(Acts 2:1 [AKJV/PCE])
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

(Acts 2:2 [AKJV/PCE])
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

(Acts 2:3 [AKJV/PCE])
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

(Acts 2:4 [AKJV/PCE])
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

(Acts 2:5 [AKJV/PCE])
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

(Acts 2:6 [AKJV/PCE])
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

(Acts 2:7 [AKJV/PCE])
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

(Acts 2:8 [AKJV/PCE])
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

(Acts 2:9 [AKJV/PCE])
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

(Acts 2:10 [AKJV/PCE])
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

(Acts 2:11 [AKJV/PCE])
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

(Acts 2:12 [AKJV/PCE])
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

(Acts 2:13 [AKJV/PCE])
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

(Acts 2:14 [AKJV/PCE])
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

(Acts 2:15 [AKJV/PCE])
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day.

(Acts 2:16 [AKJV/PCE])
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

(Acts 2:17 [AKJV/PCE])
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

(Acts 2:18 [AKJV/PCE])
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

(Acts 2:19 [AKJV/PCE])
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

(Acts 2:20 [AKJV/PCE])
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

(Acts 2:21 [AKJV/PCE])
And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(Acts 2:22 [AKJV/PCE])
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

(Acts 2:23 [AKJV/PCE])
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

(Acts 2:24 [AKJV/PCE])
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

(Acts 2:25 [AKJV/PCE])
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

(Acts 2:26 [AKJV/PCE])
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

(Acts 2:27 [AKJV/PCE])
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

(Acts 2:28 [AKJV/PCE])
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

(Acts 2:29 [AKJV/PCE])
Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

(Acts 2:30 [AKJV/PCE])
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

(Acts 2:31 [AKJV/PCE])
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

(Acts 2:32 [AKJV/PCE])
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

(Acts 2:33 [AKJV/PCE])
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

(Acts 2:34 [AKJV/PCE])
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

(Acts 2:35 [AKJV/PCE])
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

(Acts 2:36 [AKJV/PCE])
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

(Acts 2:37 [AKJV/PCE])
Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do?

(Acts 2:38 [AKJV/PCE])
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

(Acts 2:39 [AKJV/PCE])
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.

(Acts 2:40 [AKJV/PCE])
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

(Acts 2:41 [AKJV/PCE])
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.

(Acts 2:42 [AKJV/PCE])
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

(Acts 2:43 [AKJV/PCE])
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

(Acts 2:44 [AKJV/PCE])
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

(Acts 2:45 [AKJV/PCE])
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every man had need.

(Acts 2:46 [AKJV/PCE])
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

(Acts 2:47 [AKJV/PCE])
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Entry 45

And the LORD Hearkened to Hezekiah, and Healed the People

For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one that prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary. And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. (2Chr 30:18-20)
Here we have a King making intercession for the people. The people were returning to God, however wrong in some of their way in which they returned; "had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written". It was the Priest's job to make intercession for the people and to facilitate in the sacrificing of animals, the shedding of blood, to get the people cleansed. What we see here is Hezekiah, a man whose name means "Strengthened of JAH", a type of Christ in his facilitation, out of divine zeal and compassion, making intercession on behalf of the people who were not yet cleansed and who ate the Passover other than how it was written. They were in violation of the letter of the law; they were, however, in the spirit of repentance and contrition before God. God heard the plea of Hezekiah and healed the people.

"[...] for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." (2Cor 3:6)

We see a glaring picture of Christ our Passover, our intercessor, our propitiation here.  God has made a way which is better than the law and saves those whom the law condemns. God promises that all who seek Him earnestly shall find Him. He promised that all who call upon His name shall be saved. This is a glaring statement of the fact that God is our salvation, not the law. Hezekiah pleaded with God and God healed the people. This looking forward to the sacrifice of Christ which was planned from before the foundation of the world. 

(Heb 7:25 [AKJV/PCE])
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he [Jesus Christ] ever liveth to make intercession for them.

(Heb 7:26 [AKJV/PCE])
For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

(Heb 7:27 [AKJV/PCE])
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

(Heb 7:28 [AKJV/PCE])
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

(1Pet 2:24 [AKJV/PCE])
Who his [Jesus Christ's] own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

(1Pet 2:25 [AKJV/PCE])
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

(Gal 2:16 [AKJV/PCE])
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

(Mal 3:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

(John 6:37 [AKJV/PCE])
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

(Jas 4:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

(Jas 4:8 [AKJV/PCE])
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.

(Jas 4:9 [AKJV/PCE])
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.

(Jas 4:10 [AKJV/PCE])
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

(Prov 8:17 [AKJV/PCE])
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early [earnestly, diligently, first and foremost] shall find me.

(1Pet 1:18 [AKJV/PCE])
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;

(1Pet 1:19 [AKJV/PCE])
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

(1Pet 1:20 [AKJV/PCE])
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages. 

Set your ears upon Him as you read.
(Isa 53:1 [AKJV/PCE])
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

(Isa 53:2 [AKJV/PCE])
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.

(Isa 53:3 [AKJV/PCE])
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

(Isa 53:4 [AKJV/PCE])
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

(Isa 53:5 [AKJV/PCE])
But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

(Isa 53:6 [AKJV/PCE])
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

(Isa 53:7 [AKJV/PCE])
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

(Isa 53:8 [AKJV/PCE])
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

(Isa 53:9 [AKJV/PCE])
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth.

(Isa 53:10 [AKJV/PCE])
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

(Isa 53:11 [AKJV/PCE])
He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

(Isa 53:12 [AKJV/PCE])
Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Entry 44

God is Calling You Into Service
By Grace - Through Faith - In Jesus Christ

2Chr 30:15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

2Chr 30:16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hand of the Levites.

2Chr 30:17 For [there were] many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] unto the LORD.

This is an awesome picture of what takes place when God brings willing hearts unto himself. First we are convicted of sin and we become contrite before God. Notice "they killed the Passover", then the Levites became ashamed. When the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached properly this is the normal response in those hearts where God is at work. "For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" (1Cor5:7)

(John 16:8 [AKJV/PCE]) And when he [the Spirit of God] is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

(2Cor 7:10 [AKJV/PCE])
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

In a state of contrition, the priests "sanctified" themselves. This is what happens when God enters our hearts and convicts of of sin, we become contrite or ashamed, we repent, and turn ourselves to the Lord. This "sanctifying" the Levites did is repentance. They were away from God and in sin and now they have turned to the Lord. They have set themselves at His service, forsaking, under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, those things which previously occupied them. 

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?

Isaiah 66:2 For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Psalms 34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The next thing we see is "they stood in their place after their manner," (vs16). Once were have been convicted of sin, repented and have sanctified ourselves unto the service of the Lord, He will then, according to His will, appoint us to our office of service. Some of these, not all, are listed here:
1) Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:



2) 1Cor 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1Cor 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.



3) Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Rom 12:5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;

Rom 12:7 Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;


Picture
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Devotional Reading

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages. 

Set your ears upon Him as you read.

Eph 4:1 [I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation with which you are called,

Eph 4:2 [With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love;

Eph 4:3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;

Eph 4:5[AKJV])
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Eph 4:7 [But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Eph 4:8 Why he said, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.

Eph 4:9 [(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
(Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:


Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

Eph 4:14 That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.

Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you from now on walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

Eph 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Eph 4:20 But you have not so learned Christ;

Eph 4:21 If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Eph 4:22 That you put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Eph 4:24 And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

Eph 4:26 Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath:

Eph 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

Eph 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needs.

Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.

Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed to the day of redemption.

Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Eph 4:32 And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you.

Entry 43
"The LORD Is Faithful, Who Shall Establish You"
2Chr 30:13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

2Chr 30:14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.

Jesus Christ is our Passover; life for us in Christ is a life long keeping of the feast of unleavened bread. Taking away the alters and idols of the life in the flesh is consistent with keeping the feast of unleavened bread. It is the evidence of a heart now occupied by Christ; a heart circumcised with the circumcision of Christ. We are bought with a price and we serve one LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Our allegiance is to Him and Him alone, not to another. In the same way, the Hebrews, in years past, would rid their homes of any and all leaven during this feast, so now, with us, by the Holy Ghost, that same Power that raised Christ from the dead, our lives are rid of the leaven of sin and all things that seek to permeate and occupy our lives apart from Christ. As we continue to read the Word of God, we can observe where we may still be deficient, as the Holy Ghost convicts us of things that we need to be rid of, we may then bring it to God in prayer, trusting Him to deliver us from it. For it is God who works in us. We are the workmanship of Christ; Christ, who took our sins upon His own body on the cross and washed us clean by His blood. v14 "and cast [them] into the brook Kidron".
 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep [you] from evil.(2Thess 3:3)

Picture
1Thess 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

1Thess 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Thess 5:24 Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it].

1Cor 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

1Cor 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Col 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Col 2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Phil 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

Picture


Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.

Devotional Reading

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages. 

Set your ears upon Him as you read.

(Eph 2:10 [AKJV/PCE])
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

(Eph 2:11 [AKJV/PCE])
Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

(Eph 2:12 [AKJV/PCE])
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

(Eph 2:13 [AKJV/PCE])
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

(Eph 2:14 [AKJV/PCE])
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

(Eph 2:15 [AKJV/PCE])
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;

(Eph 2:16 [AKJV/PCE])
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

(Eph 2:17 [AKJV/PCE])
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

(Eph 2:18 [AKJV/PCE])
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

(Eph 2:19 [AKJV/PCE])
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

(Eph 2:20 [AKJV/PCE])
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];

(Eph 2:21 [AKJV/PCE])
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

(Eph 2:22 [AKJV/PCE])
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Entry 42
PREACH THE GOSPEL
2Chr 30:10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

2Chr 30:11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

2Chr 30:12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.

The entertainment which Hezekiah's messengers and message met with. It does not appear that Hoshea, who was now king of Israel, took any umbrage from, or gave any opposition to, the dispersing of these proclamations through his kingdom, nor that he forbade his subjects to accept the invitation. He seems to have left them entirely to their liberty. They might go to Jerusalem to worship if they pleased; for, though he did evil, yet not like the kings of Israel that were before him, 2 Kings xvii. 2. He saw ruin coming upon his kingdom, and, if any of his subjects would try this expedient to prevent it, they had his full permission. But, for the people, [1.] The generality of them slighted the call and turned a deaf ear to it. The messengers went from city to city, some to one and some to another, and used pressing entreaties with the people to come up to Jerusalem to keep the passover; but they were so far from complying with the message that they abused those that brought it, laughed them to scorn, and mocked them (v. 10), not only refused, but refused with disdain. Tell them of the God of Abraham! they knew him not, they had other gods to serve, Baal and Ashtaroth. Tell them of the sanctuary! their high places were as good. Tell them of God's mercy and wrath! they neither dreaded the one nor desired the other. No marvel that the king's messengers were thus despitefully used by this apostate race when God's messengers were so, his servants the prophets, who produced credentials from him. The destruction of the kingdom of the ten tribes was now at hand. It was but two or three years after this that the king of Assyria laid siege to Samaria, which ended in the captivity of those tribes. Just before this they had not only a king of their own that permitted them to return to God's sanctuary, but a king of Judah that earnestly invited them to do it. Had they generally accepted this invitation, it might have prevented their ruin; but their contempt of it hastened and aggravated it, and left them inexcusable. [2.] Yet there were some few that accepted the invitation. The message, though to some it was a savour of death unto death, was to others a savour of life unto life, v. 11. In the worst of times God has had a remnant; so he had here, many of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun (here is no mention of any out of Ephraim, though some of that tribe are mentioned, v. 18), humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem, that is, were sorry for their sins and submitted to God. Pride keeps men from yielding themselves to the Lord; when that is brought down, the work is done.
       
A command was given to the men of Judah to attend this solemnity; and they universally obeyed it, v. 12. They did it with one heart, were all of a mind in it, and the hand of God gave them that one heart; for it is in the day of power that Christ's subjects are made willing. It is God that works both to will and to do. When people, at any time, manifest an unexpected forwardness to do that which is good, we must acknowledge that hand of God in it.


Matthew Henry

Picture

The Gospel message must be preached. The message must be sent. For it is by the preaching of the gospel that men can hear and thereby have faith and grace to respond and be saved. As with the messengers who were sent out by the commandment of the King with the Word of the Lord, the Ambassadors of Christ too, will for the most part be laughed to scorn and mocked. But among the crowds there are those with ears to hear in whose hearts the Lord is at work.  "Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD." (2 Chronicles 30;11-12)
PREACH THE GOSPEL

Isa 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Isa 52:8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.

Isa 52:9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.

Isa 52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

Isa 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean [thing]; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

Isa 52:12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel [will be] your rereward.

Isa 52:13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

Isa 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

Isa 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.

PREACH  THE GOSPEL
Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Devotional Reading

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages. 

Set your ears upon Him as you read.

When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:)

(Matt 24:16 [AKJV])
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

(Matt 24:17 [AKJV])
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

(Matt 24:18 [AKJV])
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

(Matt 24:19 [AKJV])
And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

(Matt 24:20 [AKJV])
But pray you that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

(Matt 24:21 [AKJV])
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

(Matt 24:22 [AKJV])
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

(Matt 24:23 [AKJV])
Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

(Matt 24:24 [AKJV])
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

(Matt 24:25 [AKJV])
Behold, I have told you before.

(Matt 24:26 [AKJV])
Why if they shall say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

(Matt 24:27 [AKJV])
For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For wherever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

(Matt 24:29 [AKJV])
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

(Matt 24:30 [AKJV])

(Matt 24:31 [AKJV])
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

(Matt 24:32 [AKJV])
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near:

(Matt 24:33 [AKJV])
So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

(Matt 24:34 [AKJV])
Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

(Matt 24:35 [AKJV])
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

(Matt 24:36 [AKJV])
But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

(Matt 24:37 [AKJV])
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

(Matt 24:38 [AKJV])
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

(Matt 24:39 [AKJV])
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

(Matt 24:40 [AKJV])
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

(Matt 24:41 [AKJV])
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

(Matt 24:42 [AKJV])
Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord does come.

(Matt 24:43 [AKJV])
But know this, that if the manager of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

(Matt 24:44 [AKJV])
Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes.

(Matt 24:45 [AKJV])
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

(Matt 24:46 [AKJV])
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.

(Matt 24:47 [AKJV])
Truly I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

(Matt 24:48 [AKJV])
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming;

(Matt 24:49 [AKJV])
And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

(Matt 24:50 [AKJV])
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

(Matt 24:51 [AKJV])
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Entry 41
2Chr 30:9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return unto him.

"the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return unto him."

2Chr 30:6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

2Chr 30:7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

2Chr 30:8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

2Chr 30:9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return unto him.


"What arguments he uses to persuade them to do this. First, "You are children of Israel, and therefore stand related, stand obliged, to the God of Israel, from whom you have revolted." Secondly, "The God you are called to return to is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a God in covenant with your first fathers, who served him and yielded themselves to him; and it was their honour and happiness that they did so." Thirdly, "Your late fathers that forsook him and trespassed against him have been given up to desolation; their apostasy and idolatry have been their ruin, as you see (v. 7); let their harms be your warnings." Fourthly, "You yourselves are but a remnant narrowly escaped out of the hands of the kings of Assyria (v. 6), and therefore are concerned to put yourselves under the protection of the God of your fathers, that you be not quite swallowed up." Fifthly, "This is the only way of turning away the fierceness of God's anger from you (v. 8), which will certainly consume you if you continue stiff-necked." Lastly, "If you return to God in a way of duty, he will return to you in a way of mercy." This he begins with (v. 6) and concludes with, v. 9. In general, "You will find him gracious and merciful, and one that will not turn away his face from you, if you seek him, notwithstanding the provocations you have given him." Particularly, "You may hope that he will turn again the captivity of your brethren that are carried away, and bring them back to their own land." Could any thing be expressed more pathetically, more movingly? Could there be a better cause, or could it be better pleaded?"

Matthew Henry 
I want us to understand Matthew Henry's intention in the use of the word "Pathetically". Often we attribute a common vernacular definition which was actually not the intention of these older authors. 
PATHETIC
 Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary 
Syllabification: pa·thet·ic 
Pronunciation: /pəˈTHedik/ 
Definition of pathetic in English:adjective1Arousing pity, especially through vulnerability or sadness:she looked so pathetic that I bent down to comfort her
Ambassadors of Christ
We are called as Ambassadors of Christ who came and died to save sinners upon whom the wrath of God abides. 
2Cor 5:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2Cor 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2Cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

2Cor 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Strengthened by Jehovah
Hezekiah means "Strengthened of JAH". The name comes from two root words. One means "Possessed" and one means "JAH". Think of it! Are we, who are Christ's not inhabited by the very Spirit of God? To conduct ourselves about His business is to do so by His Spirit. Therefore when we extend the warnings of wrath and the Grace of God, the Spirit of God goes to work in the heart of our subjects, inclining the hearts of those "who have ears to hear", toward God that they may respond and be saved.  
HEZEKAIH H3169 יְחִזקִיָה יְחִזקִיָהוּ Ychizqiyah (yekh-iz-kee-yaw') (or Ychizqiyahuw {yekh-iz-kee-yaw'- hoo}) n/p.
1. strengthened of Jah
2. Jechizkijah, the name of five Israelites
[from H3388 and H3050]
KJV: Hezekiah, Jehizkiah.


Endued with the Presence of God
Christians who are truly regenerated and born again by the Spirit of God are also "Strengthened of JAH", or as Paul put it, endued with  1) "his working, which worketh in me mightily", and 2)"Power that works us".

1)
 Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
2)
 Eph 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Eph 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Eph 3:21 Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
While we do emphatically hold out the grave warning that the wrath of God is coming upon this Nation and many will die, we do not so to the neglect of the Mercy and Graciousness of God who is ready to pardon and to save.

Neh 9:17 [...] but thou [art] a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

Jesus Christ is your only Hope.
Judgement is coming upon America. The hand of God will NOT be stayed. However there is hope for you personally. Seek Jesus Christ today, while He may be found, He will not reject you but will transform you and deliver you from the powers of darkness to which you have been a victim all these years.

Set your ears upon Him as you read.


The Repentance and Confession of the People
Commenting on Nehemiah 9:1-3 "The word will direct and quicken prayer, for by it the Spirit helps our infirmities in prayer. The careful study of God's word will more and more discover to us our own sinfulness, and the plenteousness of his salvation; thus it calls us to mourn for sin, and to rejoice in him. Every discovery of the truth of God, should render us more unwearied in attendance on his sacred word, and on his worship."

Matthew Henry
NEHEMIAH CHAPTER 9
(Neh 9:1 [AKJV/PCE])
Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.

(Neh 9:2 [AKJV/PCE])
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

(Neh 9:3 [AKJV/PCE])
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God [one] fourth part of the day; and [another] fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.

(Neh 9:4 [AKJV/PCE])
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.

(Neh 9:5 [AKJV/PCE])
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah, said, Stand up [and] bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

(Neh 9:6 [AKJV/PCE])
Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas, and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

(Neh 9:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Thou [art] the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;

(Neh 9:8 [AKJV/PCE])
And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give [it, I say], to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou [art] righteous:

(Neh 9:9 [AKJV/PCE])
And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

(Neh 9:10 [AKJV/PCE])
And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as [it is] this day.

(Neh 9:11 [AKJV/PCE])
And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.

(Neh 9:12 [AKJV/PCE])
Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.

(Neh 9:13 [AKJV/PCE])
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

(Neh 9:14 [AKJV/PCE])
And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

(Neh 9:15 [AKJV/PCE])
And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

(Neh 9:16 [AKJV/PCE])
But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

(Neh 9:17 [AKJV/PCE])
And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou [art] a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

(Neh 9:18 [AKJV/PCE])
Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This [is] thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

(Neh 9:19 [AKJV/PCE])
Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

(Neh 9:20 [AKJV/PCE])
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

(Neh 9:21 [AKJV/PCE])
Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, [so that] they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.

(Neh 9:22 [AKJV/PCE])
Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

(Neh 9:23 [AKJV/PCE])
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess [it].

(Neh 9:24 [AKJV/PCE])
So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.

(Neh 9:25 [AKJV/PCE])
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.

(Neh 9:26 [AKJV/PCE])
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

(Neh 9:27 [AKJV/PCE])
Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

(Neh 9:28 [AKJV/PCE])
But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

(Neh 9:29 [AKJV/PCE])
And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

(Neh 9:30 [AKJV/PCE])
Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

(Neh 9:31 [AKJV/PCE])
Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou [art] a gracious and merciful God.

(Neh 9:32 [AKJV/PCE])
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

(Neh 9:33 [AKJV/PCE])
Howbeit thou [art] just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:

(Neh 9:34 [AKJV/PCE])
Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.

(Neh 9:35 [AKJV/PCE])
For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.

(Neh 9:36 [AKJV/PCE])
Behold, we [are] servants this day, and [for] the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we [are] servants in it:

(Neh 9:37 [AKJV/PCE])
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we [are] in great distress.

(Neh 9:38 [AKJV/PCE])
And because of all this we make a sure [covenant], and write [it]; and our princes, Levites, [and] priests, seal [unto it].

THE CALL of the HEZEKIAH COMPANY

Entry 40
2Chr 30:7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

2Chr 30:8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

AS YE SEE
Just take a look around and see the state of the Church today. Take a look around and see the state of this Nation today. If you can't see or won't see the sad and reprehensible state of the Church and this Nation then you will have opportunity to see when the wrath of God is upon both; if you live through it. Already there are and have been for a long time, watchmen and messengers of God heralding the sad fact of the apostasy and warning of the impending and unstayable wrath of God. The wrath of God is coming upon the Church and this Nation. It will not be stayed. You who survive will have the opportunity to look around and see with your eyes, the devastation. 

There will be those called of God, even as Hezekiah, the one whose name means "helped of JAH", to tell you why the wrath of God has come and why it rests on the Church and this Nation. They will direct you to repentance. They will extend the Grace of God to you to return to proper service and worship of the Most High God through Faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood, death and resurrection from the dead, by the power of His Spirit and His Spirit alone. The money will be gone. The comforts will be gone. The entertainment and the light shows will be gone. The gimmicks and the prosperity garbage will be gone. The heaping up of books and CD's will be gone. At that time you will see of what sort your faith has been.  All that will be left is you and Jesus Christ. 

Even in the midst of this severe chastisement of God, His grace will be extended to you who survive and live through it. But don't think you can merely puff at these words and just wait till it happens. Now is the time of repentance. Now is the time to turn back to God and a pure and sincere faith.  Now is the time to come out of Babylon and fantasy Christianity. You are being warned that you may not live through what's coming. 

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Rev 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Set your ears upon Him as you read.

Ezek 40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew [them] unto thee [art] thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

(Ezek 43:7 [AKJV/PCE])
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

(Ezek 43:8 [AKJV/PCE])
In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

(Ezek 43:9 [AKJV/PCE])
Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.

(Ezek 43:10 [AKJV/PCE])
Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.

(Ezek 43:11 [AKJV/PCE])
And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

(Ezek 43:12 [AKJV/PCE])
This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about [shall be] most holy. Behold, this [is] the law of the house.

Entry 39
2Chr 30:6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
"...And Begin At My Sanctuary..."

The judgment of God is about fall on this Nation. Many who survive will come to understand some of the reasons why God has judged this Nation and the Church in it. The voice of warning has been sounded throughout the land. The people do not listen, the people do not heed. Many will believe however, after the hand of God strikes this Nation and the Church in it. At that time God will have some of you in place to say as Hezekiah did, "turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria." The rest of you better pray that you live through it. 

If you can't see the prophetic message being spoke out of these ancient texts like Hezekiah and and Gideon's accounts, then, if you read your bible, you ought to see the ways and patterns of God who does not change. By that alone you need to come to grips with the fact that the hand of God is about to strike this Nation in His hot displeasure. But, like I said, there will be those among the ones who survive the ordeal that will know after it happens, that indeed the warnings were real and the messengers of God were telling the truth. We will be here to help you return to the Lord your God when the time comes. 

"...the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years..."

Judg 6:1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

Judg 6:2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and] because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

Judg 6:3 And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

Judg 6:4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

Judg 6:5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

Judg 6:6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

Judg 6:7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,

Judg 6:8 That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

Judg 6:9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;

Judg 6:10 And I said unto you, I [am] the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

In the Judges 6 example we see that there was a remnant saved from death.

Look here at this example in Gideon’s time, during this seven years they had again been reduced to but a few and to a pitiful, weak and impoverished state. Those who survive the ordeal are the ones who can be helped by this hope of a temporary judgment having in design the restoration of a people to their God for all eternity! In this we need to be fearful and cautious; for who knows who will live through the season of chastisement to see the hope and who will not?

When death befalls you, you want to be found in the favor of God and in holiness and not be found in the company of the devil and in the chains of sin. For the chains of sin are fastened upon the beds of hell and to die therein is to remain therein. But to die in Christ is to remain in Him for all eternity.

Will you be found in Him? That is your choice to make and God has afforded you the power to make that choice; the very Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is here now, He is here with you right now and will be with you forever, if you so choose. God has done all in Christ on the cross for you, He does all even now with the very presence of His Spirit, He is here now with you. All hinges upon the choice you make.

Make the choice now my friends for when Judgment comes full on, we do not know who will die and who will live through it. When it comes, it comes. And it is coming. And we need to be in Christ when it does. Latch on to Him and never let go!

Excerpt From "Those Who Are Called To Reign With Christ, Did Evil In The Sight Of The Lord"

The Time [is come] That Judgment Must Begin at the House of GOD

1Pet 4:17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?

1Pet 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

1Pet 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

I pray the Lord feed you by His Spirit as you read the following passages. 

Set your ears upon Him as you read.
(Ezek 9:1 [AKJV/PCE])
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.

(Ezek 9:2 [AKJV/PCE])
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

(Ezek 9:3 [AKJV/PCE])
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer’s inkhorn by his side;

(Ezek 9:4 [AKJV/PCE])
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

(Ezek 9:5 [AKJV/PCE])
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

(Ezek 9:6 [AKJV/PCE])
Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.

(Ezek 9:7 [AKJV/PCE])
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

(Ezek 9:8 [AKJV/PCE])
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

(Ezek 9:9 [AKJV/PCE])
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

(Ezek 9:10 [AKJV/PCE])
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.

(Ezek 9:11 [AKJV/PCE])
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
