CONSUMING FIRE AND ZEAL
Wednesday, May 31st, 2017
Psalm 119 is an epic in the entire God-given, God-breathed Scriptures. It is not only the longest chapter in the Bible (176 verses) but one of the few chapters of Books of Scripture which covers every range of the Human Condition imaginable. All sections of each portion of eight verses are sub-headed by a letter of each of the twenty two letters in the Hebrew Alphabet. Now that we are at the end of our incredible journey through the entire 176 verses, which served up a cornucopia of such rich goodness, we can see the Person of Jesus Christ from beginning to end!
In fact, one of the Name of the Lord of Hosts is “Alpha and Omega” or “The Beginning and the End” in the biblical Greek language. The original paleo Hebrew of the Creator of all things is “Aleph Tav” . In theology terms, it is known as the Signature of God and is immediately evident in the very first verse of the Bible –Genesis 1:1, where the Holy Spirit says “In the Beginning created God Heavens and Earth”. The English translation does not do it justice, but nevertheless, the“Aleph Tav” – the Great I am, the Beginning and the End because He is Eternal – is right there. “Aleph Tav” is circled in RED and cannot be translated.
RISING EXPECTATION – FROM EMPTY TOMB TO GLORY!
Sunday, March 31st, 2013
Webster’s Dictionary describes the word “EXPECTATION” as an act of “state of anticipation”…something that “would happen”!
As we look at the basis of the Greatest Event in Human History – The Resurrection of The Creator of all things (Colossians 1) – we find ourselves in a paradigm pregnant with Expectation. The incredible PROVEN event of God (Who became Man), rising out of a grave would have been a stand-alone miracle in itself, were it not for the fact that this ONE single act gave us the assurance of similar rising expectations on the Glorious (yet fearsome) Day of the Lord!
This basis of my entire being- all I believe, see, feel, touch eat and sleep – is absolutely mind-blowing! The Righteous Branch of the Godly Trinity was prophesied to rise up from the dead in Psalm 16:10 but it was Hosea 6:1-2 which prophesies OUR revival or restoration into the Heavenly realms with Abba Father!
