Job 19:25 is especially beautiful in the Koren Magerman Tanakh 2021, here it reads:

"As for myself, I know my Redeemer lives, and He will rise from the dust at last."

It's amazing that the risen God is my Redeemer, and that Job knew this all the way back then!

There is yet another #chiasm on blessing and protection for obedience to God's #torah in #deuteronomy 28:8-11.

.God blesses all you do in the land.
...He will establish you for himself.
.....If you obey.
...People will see you are God's.
.God blesses all you do in the land.

You don't have to be perfect to be blessed by God, but can't ignore your sins either. Keep working it out. Keep striving for perfection. See also Deuteronomy 28:13-14.

And if you faithfully obey the voice of YHWH your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, YHWH your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
Deuteronomy 28:1

God's promises to Israel were given in conditional terms, but He also assured them that the conditions will be met one way or another. This verse says God will elevate Israel above all nations *if* they obey, but 26:18 says it *will* happen. Therefore, Israel *will* repent and return to God's Law someday.

What is really keeping you from following the invitation of the King?


Let's pray Abba will help us all to overcome the obstacles, because for our flesh it is too hard for us to go up to Jerusalem.
