As God Said, So It Was Done!

 

Today's Verse is Ezra 1:1

NOW in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 

    Of this we can be sure, one of the Major reasons God has given us the Bible, God’s Word, is so that we can Learn of Him, and Know that he is, and is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Today’s passage is sure to have been written for this purpose, pointing out the time frame Jeremiah had foretold, yet leaving out what God had told Isaiah, naming Cyrus, a King of Persia, as the one that would begin to send God’s People back to their land, to rebuild both the temple and Jerusalem, some 100 years even before Jerusalem had fallen. All of this God said would happen, and as he had said, so it was done. So, what will you do with this? Will you take God at his Word? Or, as so many others have done, will you yet again reject him, choosing rather to accept a lie, than believe the Truth that God Loves you, and has made a way for you to escape The Judgment? Amen.

To God be the Glory
