Israel Is God's People

 

Today's verse is Numbers 35:34

Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

    Today, I am looking at the foundation of this verse, and not so much the warning to Israel it contains. (Though even my Nation should fear that warning for it also had been a Nation founded upon the principles of this book.) But as it was true for Moses’ Day, and in the Day of David, so it is still true today: The Lord God Dwells With Israel. We forget this to our peril. Since October 7th, I have been waiting for the opportunity to give this warning. We will do well to remember the promise of God made to Abraham: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. And yet many today are cursing this Nation that God promised to Abraham, bringing this curse upon themselves. For I also read today this request, And render unto our Neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. To reproach Israel, the Nation promised of God to Abraham is to reproach the Lord God, and if you know his book, this prayer will be answered. Do you Fear God? For in the end, through Isaiah, the Lord God, The Creator, has promised Israel this: He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. As for me, I want to share in that fruit, and not in the reproach, in the blessing (which found its beginning in Jesus Christ) and not the curse, which will find its end also in Jesus Christ. Selah [Which will you chose?] Amen.

To God be the Glory
