By now, most B90 participants have begun reading the New Testament. Nevertheless, there are significant matters to be discussed regarding the last books of the Old Testament. There are fascinating references to the New Testament that we will consider. Also, we will look at the story of Jonah and consider his attitude toward God's plan of forgiveness. The something fishy about the way Jonah and some of us think about people we disagree with. 

Our journey through the Bible in 90 days has brought us within view of the New Testament.  Like pilgrims to the Promised Land, we can see the distant hills of Judah, and our hearts are lifted. The people of the old covenant have witnessed the destruction of their once superpower nation and suffered the consequences of breaking the terms of their bond with God.  As the remnant returns they we unknowingly witness the end of the old covenant. As people of the new covenant through Christ, we see with Spirit-filled eyes that He is the new Temple and Pascal Lamb.

B90 participants have crossed the halfway point of their journey through the Bible in 90 days. Therefore, we will take stock of what we’ve learned so far.  It will be a fascinating overview of the entire first half of the Bible, and all in thirty minutes or less.

The Author of the Jubilee clause is the One who knows and searches the heart of the Beloved. The plan for grace and sanctification is an expression of the LORD’s very nature. Therefore, union with the LORD through Christ will complete the vision and scope of the Old Covenant. “I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety. They will be My people, and I will be their God.” (Jeremiah 32:37-28)

In this message Pastor Dan cover's a lot of territories. The principal theme is the difference the Holy Spirit makes. We'll consider whether King Soloman may have been a prototype of the post-Pentecost believer. 

B90 readings up to this point have,  in some respects, been similar to pulp fiction novels. Yet, many essential truths lie amid intrigues, affairs, and politics. David’s kingdom is still sought by Jews today. However, Christian readers of Scripture realize that the Old Testament is slowly turning toward the New. With and after David, more and more prophecies about the coming Messiah and King of Kings appear.

The LORD said, “Be strong and courageous” at least seven times so far in the B90 reading plan. God’s prescription for life under the covenant in the Promised Land is strength and courage.  Joshua led the sanctified people into their covenant home and executed the LORD’s judgment upon evil and sin. Eventually, Jesus will do the same, and His perfect reign will have no end. 

So far in the B90 journey, there have been some colorful characters, strange people groups, astounding miracles, and rules for everything from fungus to national repentance.  Why? We will talk about that. We will prepare to meet the Judges in the next week's readings and see how God makes the most of the least.

Bible reading, lovers of God recognize that God’s rules and interventions are meant to strengthen God and His people’s relationship. Discipline and consistent devotion to God are acts of love rather than formulas for acquiring God’s blessing. A relationship with the Living God ties one’s temporal life to the Eternal. Please plan to join the Shiloh family for worship and in reading the Bible in 90 days. Learn more about B90 here.

The Shiloh family and friends from the community will begin reading the entire Bible in 90 days this weekend. The message will focus on two themes; Why read the entire Bible? and, God's eternal purpose revealed in the Bible. It will be an excellent start for the B90 journey.  Please plan to attend the B90 orientation immediately following the 9:00 a.m. worship. Learn more about B90 here.
