Leaders from the families of Judah and Benjamin took the initiative. The priests and Levites were also among the first to head back to Zion. When God inspired Cyrus to proclaim freedom, the same divine influence moved both the political and pastoral leaders among the people of Israel to seize the opportunity (Zechariah 4:6). Despite tempting reasons to stay in Babylon (familiarity, connections, and the challenging journey) some overcame these obstacles. Their spirits, uplifted by God, were fueled by a desire for freedom and love for their homeland – a love for their heritage. In order to achieve the rebuilding of Israel's heritage, God not only stirred up the heart of a foreign king (Cyrus – likely an unbeliever), but he also divinely inspired a native leader of Israel, one who had despised Babylon from his youth (Zerubbabel – a believer).

“Judah had a prince, even in captivity. Sheshbazzar, supposed to be the same with Zerubbabel, is here called prince of Judah; the Chaldeans called him Sheshbazzar, which signifies JOY IN TRIBULATION; but among his own people he went by the name of Zerubbabel—A STRANGER IN BABYLON; so he looked upon himself, and considered Jerusalem his home.” -Matthew Henry

"After preaching the gospel and slowly gaining converts among the Germanics, Boniface traveled to the great pagan shrine in Geismar in Hesse. There, at Donner's Oak, the pagan priests offered sacrifices to their demon god Donner, better known to us as Thor. It was believed that if anyone profaned Thor's Oak by touching it, the demon would strike that man down with a bolt of lightning from his hammer. Boniface reared back with his axe and took one single swing when a powerful wind came out of the heavens. And blew the tree over astonished to see the impotence of their demon. God, everyone present forsook their paganism and was baptized into Jesus Christ."

After back-to-back terms of president Barack Obama the Republican party looked poised to turn in a new direction with the nomination of Donald Trump. However, many evangelical elites such as Russell Moore, Timothy Keller, Francis Collins, and others balked and began to exert substantial effort over the coming years to convince evangelicals that voting for democrats was acceptable, and even necessary to stop Trump. Now, new details reveal that this effort was not just an organic, conscientious objection to Trump’s bombastic style but a coordinated and well-funded effort among some of evangelical’s most influential figures to propagandize millions of conservative Christians. Tune in now as we discuss how Rusell Moore and Tim Keller got evangelicals to vote democrat.

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel welcomes back Tim Chaffey to the show to discuss the mysterious details of how the fallen angels were able to biologically-engineer the race of giants.

At the opening of the book of Ezra, the condition of the government in Babylon, where Israel was being held captive, was this: Nebuchadnezzar took many of the people of Israel captive in the first year of his reign. Nebuchadnezzar ruled for forty-five years, followed by his son Evil-merodach for twenty-three years, and then his grandson Belshazzar for three years, totaling seventy years. Nebuchadnezzar was judged by God for many sins, not least of which was his indifference towards Israel which was demonstrated by his failure to release his prisoners, as mentioned in Isaiah 14:17. Daniel warned Nebuchadnezzar that showing mercy to the Jews would have prolonged his peace (Daniel 4:27), but the king of Babylon refused. Therefore, Babylon's sins reached their limit, leading to its destruction by Darius the Mede and Cyrus the Persian, as recorded in Daniel 5. When Darius grew old, he passed the government to Cyrus, who, in turn, played a key role in the Jews' liberation.

“The Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus. Note, The hearts of kings are in the hand of the Lord, and, like the [rivers] of water, he turneth them which way soever he will. It is said of Cyrus that he knew not God, nor how to serve him; but God knew him, and how to serve himself by him (Isaiah 45:4). God governs the world by his influence on the spirits of men, and, whatever good is done at any time, it is God that stirs up the spirit to do it, puts thoughts into the mind, gives to the understanding to form a right judgment, and directs the will which way he pleases. Whatever good offices therefore are, at any time, done for the church of God, [God] must have the glory of them.” -Matthew Henry

"You live in a dystopia. Every part of historical human existence in our world has been turned on its head. The world we live in is an inversion of what God created you to live in. All that is beautiful is treated as though it were repulsive. This world did not become like this by accident. or by inexorable forces of history. This world was engineered to be this way."

The Bible warns us that the sluggard justifies his laziness by claiming there is danger around every corner (Proverbs 22:13). On the other hand, Ephesians 5:11-13 calls us to actively expose the deeds of darkness, even of unbelievers. God calls Christians to be like the men of Issachar, who not only understood the times, but also knew what to do about them (I Chronicles 12:32). Discernment is not primarily a supernatural spidey-sense that tingles for some especially spiritual Christians. It is the ability to understand what the threats of our time are and to apply biblical principles to them.

Unity of knowledge is not a politically correct concept, especially when it comes to claims about knowing anything about the Son of God. Plenty of churches desire unity when it comes to “common care,” but few churches desire unity when it comes to “common convictions.”
