ROUGH NOTES:

Ezekiel 3 and 2nd Chronicles 35 and Exodus 6
In Ezekiel 3 we see God tests the righteous by putting a stumbling block before them to see if they will fall and if they do fall none of their righteousness will be remembered but they will receive the judgment like the unrighteous. In 2nd Chronicles 35 in a time of great apostasy we see that Israel had Josiah return to the Lord in righteousness and caused Israel to turn to the Lord in which they did the Passover in the fullest greatest way of expression of thankfulness and righteousness to God. However God set a stumbling block before Josiah to see if he would stumble. Even though Neco king of Egypt did not want to fight with Josiah but with another country Josiah meddled into that conflict and chose to fight. This was pride out of his own righteousness and moved him to stumble and thus he was killed by Neco king of Egypt. After this all Israel became disillusioned and went into greater apostasy and was subjected by Neco king of Egypt.

John 11 and Jeremiah 21
In John 11 Lazarus is miraculously raised from the dead and after that amazing resurrection is seen clearly substantiated by the nation of Israel’s leaders they instead want to put to death their Messiah who raised him from the dead. This is because they sought their own glory and kingdom in place of God. The death of Lazarus represents the spiritual death of people individually and also in this case of the nation of Israel. They became enemies of God because they committed sin against God and yet justify themselves with their own righteousness instead of loving God with all their being. In Jeremiah 21 God pronounces complete destruction of the nation of Israel which is its death and captivity. This represents Lazarus who died and was bound by grave clothes. So also Israel died spiritually and was bound in captivity. This is to bring them to the place where their own deceptive self worshiping righteousness dies and they realize their hopelessness and helplessness apart from God. It is then that God comes on the scene and miraculously delivers them from captivity. Just like Mary and Martha questioned why Lazarus had to die so Israel questioned in desperation why their hope and purpose was lost. However it is in this desperation that they are cornered to God and truly repent so that God hears the cry of their heart and does the miraculous to restore them as a nation. Likewise will the Lord do to us as individuals and to nations and Israel when they become desperate and turn to Him with all their heart in genuine surrendered commitment to the love of God in Jesus Christ.

Leviticus 25 and Psalms 61
Both chapters are about heritage and in Leviticus 25 it is about the land keeping it sabbaths and also the feast of Jubilee as the time of great liberation were all debt is canceled and things returned to the original owners. Psalm 61 reveals that heritage is possessed by those that fear God and Leviticus 25 emphasizes that those that fear God do not oppress one another either by ruling by rigor over those that cannot pay or by forcing them to be stressed by their inability to pay. Again in Psalms 61 we see that the secret to the fear of God is in receptivity to who God is in the perfection of his love with mercy and truth and that this is what preserves us.
Ps 61:3-5 (KJV)
3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.4I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.5For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Lev 25:17-18 (KJV)
17Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.18Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
Ps 61:7-8 (KJV)
7He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.8So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Lev 25:2-4 (KJV)
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.3Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;4But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

Ezekiel 22 and Zephaniah 2
Both of these chapters are about God’s extreme anger upon the unrighteous to the degree that even the righteous barely be able to escape his anger as well. It also reveals the process that is used to purge iniquity and pride out of God’s people to bring them in the place where they become his corporate bride.
Ezek 22:30-31 (KJV)
30And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.31Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Zeph 2:3 (KJV)
3Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
Zeph 2:10-11 (KJV)
10This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.11The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
Zeph 3:8 (KJV)
8Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Zeph 3:11-14 (KJV)
11In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.12I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.13The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.14Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
“On that day you will feel no shame Because of all your deeds By which you have rebelled against Me; For then I will remove from your midst Your proud, arrogant ones, And you will never again be haughty On My holy mountain.
Shame is a form of pride and contrary to humility. Shame is broken from God’s people when those who are proud because they are God’s special chosen people are removed from their midst.

2nd Samuel 19 and Revelations 5
These 2 chapters have a theme that would be titled, The Great Comeback. In Revelations chapter 5 it is revealed that only the Lamb of God that was slain and conquered corruption was worthy to open the seals for His return to set up His kingdom upon the earth. The following chapters of the book of Revelation are the unfolding of the increasing Revelation of Jesus Christ to the point of Him being revealed upon the earth and established as King and the source of all governance upon earth. In 2nd Samuel 19 King David against overwhelming odds conquers the rebellion under Absalom. Absalom represents a type of the Antichrist. In this chapter King David shows mercy to Shimei who cursed him and threw stones at him when he fled from Absalom. This represents God in his love in Jesus Christ Who received the curses of man and man’s judgment upon the cross and forgive those that repented. There was a division of the people of God with some that sided with King David and others that sided with Absalom and so it is today. Many churches are siding with the world system that is Antichrist. Today the rebellion is becoming evident and those that are part of the apostate church becoming evident from those that God is bringing forth to be his conquering bride church. We as believers can easily be offended at other believers who compromised and repented like Shimei but God calls us to show mercy to those who repent and receive them.

2nd Kings 8 and Jeremiah 16
Both of these chapters are about God’s people who were first put through captivity and trials then brought into restoration. In Jeremiah 16 Israel as a nation is judged with great trials scattered throughout the world and then God’s providence and power brings them back to become a nation again in the last days. In 2nd Kings 8 we have the woman whose child Elijah raised from the dead later told to sojourn in the land of the Philistines which she does for 7 years. After that in the providence of God she is crying before the king and the servant of Elijah who was smitten by leprosy points out the woman who’s crying out to the king as the one whose son Elisha raised from the dead and then the King restores everything she lost.
2Kgs 8:1-6 (KJV)
1Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.2And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.3And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.4And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.5And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.6And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
2Kgs 4:1-4 (KJV)
1Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.2And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.4And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
2Kgs 4:27-29 (KJV)
27And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.28Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?29Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
Jer 16:14-16 (KJV)
14Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;15But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.16Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
