Rev 14:6-7
Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Obadiah 1:19
This isn't a reference to Arabs or any other non-Israelite people, but to the descendants of Jacob who were once driven to remote places. God will bring them back and eventually restore them to the full extent of the Promised Land.
SERIES A --- YHVH’S PIONEERS --- LESSON 17
YHVH WILL PROVIDE
ABRAHAM OFFERS ISAAC
From Genesis 22
One day YHVH arranged a test for Abraham, to see if he would trust and obey YHVH no matter what He asked him to do. [Abraham!] YHVH called. [I am here,] Abraham answered. [Take your only son Isaac, whom you love dearly, to the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering on the mountain I will show you,] Adonai said. Early the next morning Abraham saddled his donkey, split the wood for the burnt offering, and left for Moriah with Isaac and two servants. On the third day, Abraham saw Moriah from a distance. [Stay here with the donkey,] Abraham told the two young servants. [Isaac and I will go over there to worship and we will return.] Abraham put the wood for the fire on Isaac’s shoulders while he carried the torch and knife. Then the two of them set out together for Moriah. [My father,] said Isaac. [Yes, I am here,] Abraham answered. [I see the torch and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?] Isaac inquired. [YHVH Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,] Abraham said. The two walked on together until they came to the place which YHVH had told him about. Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on top of the wood. Then he took the knife and prepared to kill Isaac with it. But as Abraham was ready to plunge the knife into Isaac, the Angel of Adonai called to him from heaven. [Abraham! Abraham!] the Angel called. [Here I am,] said Abraham. [Do not harm the lad,] the Angel said. [Now I know for sure that you trust YHVH completely, for you have not held back one thing in your life, not even your only son whom you love so much.] When Abraham looked up, he saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. He took the ram and offered it for a burnt offering instead of his son. Abraham called that place YHVH-Yireh, which meant [Adonai Will Provide.] It was still called that at the time this was written. Once again, the Angel of Adonai called from heaven. [I have sworn by Myself that because you have followed My Command exactly and did not withhold even your only son, I will bless you greatly and will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens and the sand of the seashore; and your descendants will conquer their enemies and will bless all the nations of the earth, for you have obeyed Me.] Then Abraham and Isaac returned to the two servants, and they travelled back to Beersheba. Abraham made his home there at Beersheba for a while. About that same time Abraham heard that his brother Nahor and his wife Milcah had eight sons. Their names were Uz, Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram, Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel, who became the father of Rebekah. Nahor had other children by his concubine Reumah. They were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
COMMENTARY
THE MOUNTAINS OF THE LAND
Human sacrifice, although sometimes practiced in Abraham’s day, was forbidden by YHVH. What must Abraham have thought when YHVH told him to sacrifice Isaac, the child through whom his descendants were to come? Abraham obeyed… expecting YHVH to somehow keep His promise. Then, at the place of sacrifice, YHVH did provide. A ram, caught by its horns in a thicket, was substituted on the altar for Isaac. From north to south, a range of mountains formed a backbone through the central part of Palestine. These mountains played an important part in the history of Israel. In time of war, the mountains became a natural defence. It was almost impossible, and certainly not effective, for chariots to be used in these mountains. Chariots were made for battle in the broad plains. The mountains mentioned in the Bible remain today as continuing landmarks, out-living man-made cities, towns and buildings. Names of mountains remain much the same throughout Bible history, and even until modern times. Foreign religions often crowned a mountain or hill with a pagan temple or shrine, dedicated to a heathen god. At low points in their history, Israelites joined their neighbours to worship these pagan gods in the mountains. In the days of the Hebrew kings, high places were erected where the Israelites went to sacrifice or worship YHVH. Perhaps Israelites and Canaanites wanted to take their worship as close to heaven as possible. YHVH often revealed Himself upon a mountain. He made His promise to Noah on Mount Ararat and confirmed Abraham’s faith in Him on Mount Moriah. Moses received the Law on Mount Sinai and Yeshua was transfigured on Mount Hermon or Mount Tabor. Thus, the mountains were vital to the people, in war, in worship, and in daily living.
After speaking with two different pastors who need to prepare funeral services for children this week I am amazed how many forget what the Bible teaches us...
We are not born to die, we are created to live!
Even the long lived Methuselah's life on this earth is less than the blink of an eye when compared to eternity.
But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
Obadiah 1:17
God has promised that he will always preserve a remnant of the physical descendants of Jacob so that he can fulfill his promises to Jacob. They will repent. They will be restored to the land, and all their enemies will submit to the King of Israel or be erased from history.
Blessings everyone.
In this article, I explore one of the fundamental characteristics of a worshipper. Worship is indeed a mystery, but mysteries, if we genuinely and humbly ask, will be revealed. Worship is the foundational key to establishing the habitation of God among the community of His people. It must be given to God in the way that He desires and not in how we feel it should be. Our perception of worship and the way we offer it to God is learned from our experiences, but are they correct? Worship should be natural. I hope this offering will give you something to think about.

Every man can be a patriarch. Tragically, too few choose this path.

For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been.
Obadiah 1:16
God has promised severe judgment on those nations that mistreat the descendants of Jacob. The harsher the mistreatment, the harsher will be the judgment. Where is the nation of Edom today? It is "as though they had never been".
But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress.
Obadiah 1:12
God disciplines those he loves. He destroys those who hate those he loves. Never rejoice or boast over Judah because of their suffering or God will judge you even more harshly than he did them.
