Let's read Psalm 94, Nehemiah 13, Apocalypse 22
"For the LORD shall not release his people
He does not abandon his heritage;
For the judging will be justice,
and all those whose hearts are right rally around him. "
Psalm 94: 14 to 15
Meditate:
- What characterizes the" arrogant "(Ps. 94)? By what means the believer is Does peace in the days of misfortune (vs. 12 to 13) How the Lord takes care of it's people (vs. 12 th.)?
- Eliachab, the high priest, was an unstable man: at the time he took the lead in rebuilding the walls, both he compromises with the enemies of Jerusalem: Tobii (Nehemiah 13: 7) and Sanballat (vs. 28), cf. Chapter 2: 10, 4: 1, ... After 12 years in Jerusalem, Nehemiah went back to King Artaxerxes. This allows him to return again to the city of his fathers: what abnormal situations he finds? How does it take to fix? God used a man to fix all the people! What was his support (vs. 1)? The Lord will use you too when your faith and your actions are firmly rooted in the Word of God!
- What are the qualities of the river coming out of the throne of God and the Lamb (Revelation 22: 1-2)? Remark that God and the Lamb is clearly distict (confirmed by the Greek), yet he speaks of "his" servants (not "their") who see "his" face (not "their") and they are "his" name (not "their") on their foreheads (vs. 3-4). Notice also that it is Jesus who said: "I am the Alpha and the Omega ..." (Vs. 13), word yet attributed to God Almighty (Revelation 1: 8)! Thus, this final chapter of the Bible mark of respect the glorious divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The last prayer, "Amen Come Lord Jesus!" (Addressed to Jesus, yet another proof of his divinity), it is also ours (cf. vs. 17)?
Singing "Jesus Christ is Lord, He rose from the grave He is Lord "(JEM 281 + three verses!)
