Thought for Today: Tuesday July 29
Evil is very much real, and one time or another, most of us have wondered why does YHVH not stop it… Sometimes He does, but not always, and the Bible says that evil is a mystery that we won’t fully understand until we get to heaven. In the meantime, YHVH calls us to trust Him and have confidence in His Love, no matter our circumstance.
It is rather amusing that Noah named his son "Name".
Christians owe a debt to Jews. The knowledge we have of God has come through them. That's why heroes of the faith like Dietrich Bonhoeffer did what they did to protect Jews and oppose those who sought their destruction. That is the topic of discussion in this concluding part of our conversation with David Altman.
It is the Jews who gave the Torah to the world. That's a good thing since the Torah contains the teachings, instructions, and commands of God. Why, then, do Christians regard the Torah as a strange and burdensome thing? That's one of the questions David Jones and Barry Phillips explore in their midrash, "Keeping ALL Commands." But honoring Torah is actually obeying our God, which is an expression of our relationship with Him. That's one of the messages we hear in the music of Teshuva.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
Romans 11:2 ESV
Elijah's statements in vs 3 and 4 are from 1 Kings 19:10 and 14 in which he believes he is the only faithful, living prophet left in Israel. God responded by showing his power and, in 1 Kings 19:18, saying that he had left 7000 prophets in Israel who had not surrendered to Baal. If 7000 prophets still remained, how many ordinary faithful men and women must there have also been? Even Israel at her darkest moment held many thousands of people who persevered in faithfulness to God.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?
Romans 11:2 ESV
God has not rejected the physical descendants of Jacob. In Genesis 28:15, God told Jacob that he would not leave him until he had fulfilled his promises. The same principle holds true for all of God’s promises. Over and over, God said that he would temporarily repudiate Israel for rebellion and exile them from the land, but every time he also promised that he would preserve a remnant of Jacob who would repent and return to the land. This is illustrated by the reference to Elijah to whom God said that he had reserved a remnant of the prophets of Israel who had not bowed a knee to Baal.
God's covenants with Israel cannot be ended by Israel's unfaithfulness, because he promises to restore their children for the sake of those same covenants. The “people whom he foreknew” aren’t people of whom he was aware before he created them, but people with whom he has a previously established and continuing relationship. This is the primary meaning of foreknow/proginosko as Paul uses it.
