There’s an interesting prophecy from Obadiah that is becoming relevant in our day:
"The exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev."
Obadiah 1:20b
Sepharad is the Hebrew name for Spain, and the origin of the name for Sephardic Jews who trace their ancestry to Spain and Portugal. Many of those Jewish families have returned to Israel already, which makes this prophecy relevant, but there are others still in the Diaspora – many of whom have forgotten their Jewish heritage. Revis Daggett and others like her are working to change that! In this concluding part of our conversation, Revis shares her thoughts on how Hidden Jews and other “Hidden Hebrews” might be identified through cultural elements, and what this means for God’s plans to redeem all Israel and the nations.
Israel is invincible, of course, thanks to the Covenant of our redeeming God. However, there are ways the people of the Covenant have sabotaged themselves through the ages. That’s what Barry and David talk about in, “No Curse Against Israel.” What’s the answer? Remember who our God is, and who we are in Him, as we hear in the music of Laura Metzing and Lenny & Varda.

😃👀 Yesterday I got to see the two jars extracted from the bronze age shipwreck recently discovered of the coast of Israel!

Don't project your bitterness, deceitfulness, and sins onto the rest of the world.

Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for my fellow Jews is that they may be saved.
Romans 10:1
If eternal salvation is predetermined without input or influence from men, prayers for anyone’s salvation are useless. Clearly Paul didn’t believe the salvation of individual Jews to be unconditional, limited, and irresistible. He believed that it was possible for a reprobate to be regenerated.
Historians?!? What do we do with them?
I have been raised that only what is in Scripture is testament of what we should believe in as even #science gets #manipulated and the further back in history we go the more it is a guessing game.
This is very true as not all history has been documented in the Bible and most of what is written in the Bible is no longer evident. Sometimes we can take a guess as to the location of an event (think of the rock which was split when Moses hit it), but we don't know for sure and science and history will prove it false as an actual event.
Then we get historians, which in some instances we use as proof of our beliefs and in other cases, meh...
Currently I am really trying to look at history from a different perspective to get a better understanding of Scripture.
What I have come to learn is that history is always written by the winner and that all conquerors were good; well at least in how his-story tells it.
All wars have been won by the "good guys". What a marvel of history. 🤯
So what do we make of #historians that tell of history that is not mainstream? Do we blatantly ignore them or do we take heed of their tellings even if it goes against what the mainstream says?
As an example of this, I found a good summary of events around 66AD documented on https://biblicalblueprints.com..../Sermons/New%20Testa
Also, why do we believe that we have all the facts living 2000 years after an event? There are cases where people living now don't even know what certain commonly available implements were used for during the gold rush; which was just a few hundred years ago.
Something I heard often while growing up in church: "The Law is too difficult for anyone to do. This is why Christ came, to do it for us. It was there to show us we can't be righteous and we need a Savior."
I've covered some of these aspects in earlier CvB comics. Let's look specifically at the "The Law is too difficult."
If you go and read the Scripture I give in the second panel, you'll see the very first thing is from God saying the exact opposite. The Law is not to hard for us.
Why then did Israel fail so miserably at keeping it if it is so easy? It all comes down to a heart issue. Throughout Scripture, God states He wants our hearts. In the Prophets, when He wants Israel to turn back to Him, it is their heart He is after.
With that in mind, let's look at the man after God's own heart: David. In the Psalms, David writes about the Law in a very positive way. Calling it perfect, saying it makes the unlearned wise, saying those who walk in it are blessed, and much much more.
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and it is a love song written about the Law.
Now, if it was something difficult to keep, why would David write such a thing?
If it was difficult to keep, why would God get angry in the Prophets at Israel for them not keeping it?
If you think the Law is too difficult for you to keep, I would like to know, which part? What commands specifically do you think are too difficult?
To be preemptive, I am talking about ones that you can do today. Commands that don't require a Temple, a God-appointed set of elders, a Levite, etc... But commands that relate to your every day life. What is too difficult?
