"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 10 January 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "Jerusalem's Glorious Future"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 4:1-6
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 4:2 "In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing For those of Israel who have escaped."
Verse 1 serves as a summary of the preceding chapter. As a result of the coming devastation of the land, "seven women shall take hold of one man," means that the male population will be so devastated that there will be seven women for every surviving male.
"The branch of the Lord," is the Messiah Himself. This same title is used in Jeremiah 23:5, 33:15, and Zechariah 3:8 and 6:12. Thus in the midst of his warning of judgment, Isaiah reveals a glorious promise of the the future hope of the coming of the Messiah. He sees ahead to the millennial kingdom when once again the "cloud" of glory shall rule them by day and the pillar of "fire" shall lead them by night.
The prophecy of Zion's restoration has three parts: (1) the branch of the Lord shall be glorious (verse 2); (2) the remnant shall be sanctified (verses 3-4); (3) the Lord will provide protective covering over Mt Zion (verses 5-6).
Through the processes of a purging fire, which outwardly consumes the faithless and inwardly purifies the faithful, God will produce a holy city. Over the cloud and smoke on each dwelling will be the overshadowing tabernacle, symbolizing God's protection of and communion with His people. (Psalm 91:1; Revelation 21:3.)
Today's Hymn: "Glorious Day"
One day when heaven was filled with His praises, One day whne sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin, dwell amont men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us, His glory revealed
Living He loved me, Dying He saved me, Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified, freely forever, One day He's coming, Oh Glorious Day, Oh Glorious Day
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, how we as Christians look forward to your Second Coming when You shall being the New Heaven and the New Earth. Thank you Jesus for the power over the enemy who seeks our souls. How thankful we are that once we have given our life to You, that there is absolutely NOTHING that can ever pluck us out of Your hands. May we live our life's in praising and glorifying Your name which is ABOVE every NAME." Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "Create is something only God can do."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Pray also for God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel . Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"Blessed are they they keep his testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart."
