Micah 4:1 - 5

Micah   4:1:  It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, 2  and many nations shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3  He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore; 4  but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid, for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. 5  For all the peoples walk e...

The Judgment Of The Nations

Has God imposed a suzerain covenant on the nations of this world?       Absolutely, they are viewed as vassal states to Israel.                            Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2   The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, 3   “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4   He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5   Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6   “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” 7   I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. 8   Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. 9   You shal...

Covenant Theology In Outline Form: Part 15.

Romans  (Soteriological Covenant) Shema : 1: 1 - 7  Historical Prologue : 1:18 - 2:5  General & Specific Stipulations : 2:6 - 8:39  Doc. Clause, Witnesses, Renewal, Victory. : 9 - 16  Note : There are probably a few more ways to outline Romans this way, but this one is what stands out to me on an initial pass.   I call this a soteriological covenant insofar as the focus of Romana is, by & large, the doctrine of Soteriology.  It also tells us that all rightful (and when you think about it non-rightful) authority is established by God (Romans 13:1) & draws attention to the relationship between the Decalogue (as to our sanctification) & our duties to corporate entities like our worship community and the nation-state &/or city-state by which we are governed.  Link to Part 14 Link To Part 16

We Live In Evil Times

  I hear the President of the United States has declared that the Smithsonian must conform to his personal ideology.  The spirit of Antichrist is strong in that one.  Gluttony, warmongering, sexual immorality, bigotry, idolatry, & sorcery destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah, Egypt, Gibeah, Jerusalem, & Rome.  Why should the United States be any different? 

The Numbers Argument (Part 2)

GOD is a triune personal spirit who, as to essence,is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable, & whose attributes are: being (GOD is autotheos; God is a se), wisdom, power, justice, holiness, goodness, & truth.
