Bible Scripture Reading for 23 March 2012

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 23 March 2012"

Today's Blog Title: "The Restoration of Israel"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 27:1-13
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 27:13 "So shall it be in that day: The great trumpet will be blown; They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, And they who are the outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem."

In verse 1, Leviathan is a symbolic monster also referred to here a "that crooked serpent...the dragon," or "Satan."  The context indicates that Isaiah has in view the final victory of God over Satan (Revelation 20:2).  Isaiah then burst into joyful song of the "vineyard" (Israel) of the Lord (Isaiah 5:1-7).  Now the vineyard will succeed because "I the LORD do keep it."  The wandering Israelites will now "take root" and "blossom and bud" during the kingdom age when all the nations will come up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

This chapter's viewpoint narrows as Isaiah looks ahead at the destiny of God's ancient people.  God will again tend His vineyard (27:2-4; 5:1-5).  As history's final days draws to a close, Jacob's guilt will be atoned for (27:9).   Here, as often in the prophets, the ancestral name, "Jacob" stands for the Jewish people.  The Jewish people "will be gathered up, one by one," and return to Jerusalem and the "Promised Land" (27:12-13).  The day of the Lord's Second Coming is drawing near, for the people of Israel are indeed returning to the Promised Land, that God had promised to Abraham, Jacob and Isaac.

Today's Biblical Truth: Every night of suffering gives way to a dawn of divine blessing for those who belong to the Lord."

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 for Youcef Nasdarkhani the Iranian pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to renounce his Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  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." 

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.

Jesus Reign, and HE IS and ALWAYS WILL BE IN COMPLETE and TOTAL CONTROL.

Your Sister In Christ,
