LORD RESTORES ISRAEL OF RO 9; 4,6 FROM NATIONS

LORD RESTORES ISRAEL OF RO 9; 4,6 FROM NATIONS

 

19/ 10/ 2011

 

 

THE LORD SEEKS ISRAEL TO WORSHIP HIM--Eze 20:40  For in Mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve Me: there will I accept them,-

And we see that the LORD accepts ISRAEL in Ezekiel temple, showing the mountain heights of ISRAEL----That is accomplished in ------Eze. 40: 2--In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain,

 

 

IT WAS NOT DONE EARLIERpeople –prophets could not do so in last days—although the LORD gave them knowledge, Jer 44; 4,5

Neither it was done in history--Ac 1:6  When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?7--And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,

8--But ye shall receive power,9 -- And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

THAT MEANS HE DID NOT RESTORE AT THAT TIME--

 

 

THEN THE LORD HAS TO RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL!

Jer 7:7  "then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

Thus THE LORD HAS TO BRING TO PASS THE PROMISE OF INHERITANCE TO ISRAEL! –to give inheritance to ISRAEL –they are to be given God’s special things mentioned in Rom 9: 4,6—they are--- adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, 

 

Abraham –Isaac—Jacob—David are fathers—the promises to them concern JESUS CHRIST –and those blessings above mentioned in Rom 9: 4,6---would be given to those ISRAEL who will be sanctified and purified through the blood of JESUS CHRIST as His blood is the blood of the covenant, Zec 9:11, Heb 12:24, Mt 26:28, Lu 22:20, 1Co 11:25 (you should notice that we partake of the blood of the covenant during passover---and should realise that we should be concerned of preparing ourselves to make the new covenant at Passover, remembering His death, and  (Resurrection ---we should seek His salvation!) 

 

 

But------“none saith, Restore”-Isa 42:22 (nobody is interested to understand to restore Jerusalem through accepting LORD’s sacrifice!). 1 Cor 3: 11 - For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Therefore, THE LORD HIMSELF WILL WORK OUT- TO RESTORE KINGDOM-

Isa 62: 1 -For Zion’s sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. (notice---salvation should be as a lamp that is burning!---IT IS A WORK!—people should work out their salvation, Php 2:12!—one has to learn who is the Saviour, how He saves, what must we do etc.)

2  And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, (gentiles see that LORD had sacrificed Himself to take our sins upon Himself, to make us rightoeus before Him, so that we could serve Him in newness of life, Rom 6: 3-5)

-4  Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: (the LORD’s work would pave the way for old Jerusalem to be revived, Isa 62: 4,5)---Thus, LORD DOES A SHORT WORK, ROM 9: 28, DURING GENTILES’ TIMES, Ez 30; 3---Isa 62: 6 -  I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem,

 

 

 

THE ISRAEL OF ROM 9: 4,6 ARE TO RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY, AS TEMPLE PRIESTS WERE SENT INTO CAPTIVITY BY THE LORD HIMSELF, Eze. 12: 3-15, Eze. 39: 28, which the gentiles know, Eze. 39: 21-23.

LORD restores--Jer 33:7  And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.---Am 9:14  And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities,

WE SEE THAT LORD WILLS TO RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL AFTER causing the captivity of Judah and ISRAEL return.

ISRAEL had to be sent into captivity because of sins of ISRAEL –no one is without sins! ---kingdom to be restored after He corrects the rulers of ISRAEL –the LORD requires the rulers in ISRAEL (in David’s throne, Jer 33: 25,26), to make just Judgments and rule the people justly and mercifully, otherwise the people would be unhappy. Therefore the rulers need to be made a royal priesthood, 1 Pet 2: 9, to rule ISRAEL His people JUSTLY. that is why the LORD rebuilds David’s throne which was fallen down, Acts 15: 16.---1 Cor 3: 11 - For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

 

 

Ec 7:20  For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

-          1Ki 8:46  If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,)

-          2Ch 6:36  If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

Therefore spiritual captivity is caused by iniquities---LORD has to cleanse His people of sin, to make them holy to be with Him! This is accomplished through baptizm into His death, Ro 6: 3-6. LORD came to save His people, mt 1: 21.

 

 

LORD sent the spiritual captives into nations-but gathers them all---- Eze 39:28 

They return from all countries—Jer 23: 7,8

PROPHECIES THAT ISRAEL WOULD GO INTO CAPTIVITY IN Babylon --

They shall be carried to Babylon,--- then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place-Jer 27:22

AS NATIONSthe LORD  considers HIS CHOSEN ISRAEL AS CAPTIVES in many nations—therefore THOSE PLACES ARE A burden to the LORD—in prophecies one would find the word says---“the burden of Moab”—burden of “Damascus”---“the burden of Egypt”—the burden of Babylon”—“burden of wilderness of sea’—and many other--Isa 15:1, Isa 17:1, Isa 19:1, Isa 21:1 , Isa 21:11, Isa 21:13 , Isa 22:1, Isa 23:1—and so on.  (it is ministers that were sent into captivity, Ez 12: 3,15).

 

 

FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES MENTION SUCH NATIONS –

 

 

  • Jer 48:47  --Jer 49:6  -8-- Eze 25:3  --Eze 29:14  --Jer 49:39  --Am 1:6---  Am 1:9 , 15 --Am 5:27  -- Am 7:17  --Am 9:4 

ALL THOSE NATIONS WERE WORKING AGAINST Jerusalem ! THAT IS HOW THE LORD LOOKS AT IT! –WHEN THE LEADER GIVES HIS “OWN WORDS” AS A “LION” , Jer 2: 30,TO DESTROY THE LAND OF ISRAEL, LORD SCATTERED THEM IN NATIONS NOT KNOWN TO US, Eze. 32: 9, and above were a list of those nations WHICH WERE A BURDEN TO THE LORD!

LORD has to purify them and take them back to the REQUIRED STATUS IN LAND OF ISRAEL! –that is the people have to be having LORD’s Righteousness and holiness to stand before Him, Heb 12:14. and that Righteousness is only given through LORD’S DEATH---THAT IS WHY ALL ARE TO BE BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH—RO 6: 3-7,19,22—COL 2: 11-12.

 

 

HE GATHERED ALL THOSE NATIONS TO BATTLE--Zec 14:2  -- GATHERED IN VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT-Joe 3:1,2--  THEY ARE ALSO GATHERED IN ARMAGEDDON, THEY FIGHT THE LORD, RE 16----the people of God without understanding LORD’s requirements in His land, fought Him by being talkers of “their own words”, Jer 2: 30, Eze 36:3, Tit 1:10—

When you do not listen to the words of JESUS CHRIST, you are fighting Him!

 

 

 

WHAT HAD THE PROPHET AND PRIEST DONE ABOUT THE CAPTIVITY?

La 2:14  Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.

Ezekiel WAS TOLD TO ACT DURING CAPTIVITY—Eze 3:11  -- ACCORDING TO THOSE WORDS,  LEADER DID GET THE Revelations FROM ALL PROPHETS, Jer 44: 4,  WHICH ARE FROM THE LORD,  TO MAKE ALL IN SPIRITUAL Jerusalem REPENT, Eze. 16: 2, Eze. 3: 11, Eze. 33, ---but the leader exalted himself saying he is a conduit of Revelations WITHOUT ACTING UPON THE Revelations ---THAT MEANS he did not get the church repent for the abominations! THEREBY HE FAILED TO GET THE BRIDE OF CHRIST PREPARE FOR THE MARRIAGE,

 

 

BUT HE GAVE HIS OWN WORDS (exalting H.W.Armstrong too), THOSE WORDS ARE HIS OWN SWORDS, Jer 2: 30 , THE “OWN SWORD” IS THE DESTROYING LION, Jer 2: 30, AND THE LION IS Pharaoh , Ez 32: 2. We should not exalt men in church, we should exalt the HEAD, JESUS CHRIST!-- Isa 46:5

The LORD taught him a hard lesson by taking his wife, Eze. 24: 16, yet he did not take it to heart, he was deceived!, Jer 21:14 (wife was taken because Christ’s wife was destroyed). THEN THE LORD ACTED TO SAVE ISRAEL BY HIS WORK OF THE DAY OF THE LORD, duirng gentiles’ times, Eze. 30: 3, Re 11; 2-4. below are the scriptures proving that He works among ISRAEL--

 

 

RESTORE JUDGES FIRST--

I will restore thy judges as at the first---Isa 1:26

JUDGES WERE THE ASSEMBLY—Eze. 16: 40-42 thereby the LORD does a work through the gentiles to restore ISRAEL—healing them--

Jer 30:17  For I will restore health unto thee,

Joe 2:25  And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

Thus the LORD gives knowledge to ISRAEL, Isa 11: 9, Hab 2:14

Hab 2:14  For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

The LORD gives knowledge to ZION comparing the breach of ZION as “sea”, La 2: 13.—so the sea is covered with abundant knowledge of the LORD!

 

 

 

LORD WOULD BRING THEM BACK FROM CAPTIVITY-

Eze 16:53  When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

Jer 29:14  And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

Jer 30:3  For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

 

 

LORD brings back His people into the same place from where they were taken captive—Jer 29: 14, Jer 30: 18

Jer 32:44--I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.

Jer 33: 25-26  -- Jer 46:27  - Eze 39:25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for My holy name;--- Am 9:14  And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them;-- ADDRESSES CAPTIVES—Jer 29

LORD SPOKE ALL THOSE WORDS AGAINST ISRAEL, BECAUSE HE WAS ANGRY AND JEALOUS—Ez 36: 6 -10

BLESSINGS AFETR CAPTIVITY--Jer 31:23 -- Jer 33:11  -- Zep 3:20  -- Hos 14 contains beautiful prophecies being the blessings after the return of captivity!

 

 

WORD OF GOD HELPS THE HEARTS THAT WERE LED INTO CAPTIVITY!—

1Ti 6:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

2Co 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;--LORD’S DEATH AND RESURRECTION PAVED THE WAY TO RELEASE THE CAPTIVES, Zec 9: 11 TOO.

OUR THOUGHTS ARE IN CAPTIVITY BECAUSE OF SIN—WE SIN WHEN WE DO NOT HONOUR JESUS CHRIST –WHEN WE DELAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE HAD DONE TO SAVE US!

 

HE IS THE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH—THE HUSBAND OF ISRAEL, --Isa 54: 5--8

LORD is hiding for a moment, Eze. 39; 21-23, He had forsaken as wife of youth broke covenant, Eze. 16: 59, 44: 7, but He is working, Rom 9: 28, to save her, to gather her from nations, and then she would be no more forsaken, Isa 62: 4,5. LORD projected a strange act, Isa 28:21, depicting “nations” to show the work of error of God’s church, and how He Himself will act to save ISRAEL!

 

 

LORD ACCOMPLISHES HIS WILL--Isa 45:23  I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.--Ro 14:11  - every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.---Php 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;--AFTER HE RESTORES , ALL ARE TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY, 2 Tim 2: 19.

ALL PRAISE TO JESUS CHRIST WHO RESTORES ISRAEL, HIS PEOPLE.Amen.
