Three & One

A message about Moab. A prophecy and proclamation against Damascus. A prophecy and proclamation against Ethiopia. And, Paul writes to the Colossians concerning being reconciled by Christ and responding to Christ in faith.

A Proclamation against Babylon. Mercy on Jacob. The fall of Lucifer. Babylon destroyed. Assyria destroyed. Philistia destroyed. Proclamation against Moab. And Paul encourages the Philippians to find peace in prayer, praise and practice.

Arrogant Assyria will be judged. The remnant of Israel will return. Out of the roots of Jesse, One will reign. Salvation will come from God and we will sing a hymn of praise. And here, now, we forget what’s behind and press on to what’s ahead.

Immanuel is given as a sign from God. An exhortation against conspiracy causing anxiety. Pronouncements of possible salvation and inevitable judgement. And, we are encouraged to have the mind of Christ.

The Day of the Lord, The Branch of the Lord, a song, a lament and a judgement from the hand of God. An invitation to be an ambassador for God. And, Paul writes how prison helped others to preach.

Isaiah sees the wickedness of Judah, the wickedness of Jerusalem, the future judgement on Judah, the future judgment on Jerusalem and God’s invitation to salvation, even in the midst. And, Paul tells us to put on ALL the armor of the Lord.

Solomon and the Shulamite seem to enjoy mixing their metaphors, in love, as the Song of Songs comes to a close. And, Paul teaches us to walk in love, to walk in light, to walk in wisdom and to walk in mutual submission.

Wedding preparations are made. The Shulamite and Solomon are about to be husband and wife, as each express their love, appreciation, passion and attraction for each other. And, Paul encourages us to walk worthy of our calling.

Solomon writes The Song of Songs, speaking of his engagement, his wedding and his marriage to a young Shulamite woman, in in beautiful poetic form. And, the Apostle Paul reveals to us a mystery concerning Jews and Gentiles.

Solomon concludes his quest to find fulfillment apart from a love led relationship with God, coming to the conclusion that fearing God and obeying His commandments is the only way to go. And, we see salvation by grace through faith.
