THE LORD WILL RAISE UP DAVID’S HOUSETHE LORD WILL RESTORE THE FORTUNES OF ISRAEL5 IMPLICATIONSJudgement is swift and sure.Redemption is the Work of God AloneRedemption Passes Through JudgmentRedemption is Abundant GraceThe Lord is Still Gathering the NationsAnd when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you. Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of Edom,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because he pursued his brother with the sword
and cast off all pity,
and his anger tore perpetually,
and he kept his wrath forever.
So I will send a fire upon Teman,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Bozrah.”
For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues. _An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down your defenses from you _
The city that went out a thousand
shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out a hundred
shall have ten left
Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and Israel must go into exile
I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured;
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh … remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. … that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. … far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
