Joel 2:17-b

 

17: Let the priests the ministers of YHWH weep between the porch and the altar and let them say Spare your people YHWH And give not your heritage to reproach that the nations should rule over them

Comments: ^{Joel 2:17-b} For centuries, the Jewish people were scattered among the nations, a people without a country. And now that they are back in their own land, the Nations continue to attempt rulership of Israel through the United Nations, which was established October 24, 1945, three years before Israel, in fulfillment of Bible prophecy, was restored back to their land and became a nation again. It is no secret that many member nations are bitter enemies of Israel. The United Nations has long been publishing maps that eliminate Israel from the Middle East. 

A 2008 CNS News article reported that Israel was missing from a U.N. sponsored map.

A 2014 article in the Jerusalem Post reports that HarperCollins publishing house has omitted Israel from maps in atlases they sell to English-speaking schools in the Middle East,” 

A 2017 article reports that textbooks used in UN-run schools feature maps without Israel http://www.thetower.org/4385-textbooks-used-in-un-west-bank-schools-erased-jewish-history-featured-maps-without-israel.

U.N. (world-wide) attempts to interfere with the sovereignty of Israel are signs that we are indeed living in the Last Days, and the news articles listed in this post are just the tip of the iceberg, only a few examples of the world-wide antisemitism that will continue to grow and infect every nation ^{Zechariah 12:2-3}. This will not stop, and the nation of Israel will remain a prophetic hot spot until the physical, visible, return of Yeshua ha Mashiach, the Messiah, to this earth.

Psalm 72

 

To Solomon [written by David. See verse :20] 1: Give the king thy judgments O God and thy righteousness unto the king's son 2: He shall judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with justice

A prophecy of Messiah

3: The mountains ^Kingdoms? shall bring peace to the people and the hills by righteousness 4: HE shall judge the poor of the people HE shall save the children of the needy and shall break in pieces the oppressor 5: They shall fear THEE as long as the sun and moon endures throughout all generations 6: HE shall come down like rain upon the mown grass as showers that water the earth 7: In HIS days ^{Kingdom of Messiah} shall the righteous flourish and abundance of peace so long as the moon endures 8: HE shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth 9: They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before HIM and HIS enemies shall lick the dust 10: The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts 11: Yes all kings shall fall down before HIM All nations shall serve HIM 12: For HE shall deliver the needy when they cry the poor also and them that have no helper  13: HE shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy 14: HE shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence and precious shall their blood be in his sight 15: And HE shall live And to HIM shall be given of the gold of Sheba Prayer also shall be made for HIM continually and daily shall HE be praised 16: There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth 17: HIS name shall endure forever HIS name shall be continued as long as the sun and all shall be blessed in HIM All nations shall call HIM blessed 18: Blessed be YAHWEH ELOHIM, ELOHIM of Israel who only does wondrous things ^{David called Messiah YAHWEH Elohim of Israel. Jesus is Yahweh} 19: And blessed be HIS glorious name for ever and let the whole earth be filled with HIS glory Amen and Amen 20: The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Luke 4:15-21 Commentary

  Jesus declares that he is Jehovah [see Isaiah 61:1-9, where in verse :8 we see that the person speaking in verses 1-3 is Elohiym. In luke 4:15-21, Jesus stands up in a public meeting and declares that he is the person speaking in Isaiah 61:1-9. Jesus is God

There is also a reason why he quoted all of Isaiah 61:1 but only the first part of verse two 

  
15: And he taught in their synagogues being glorified of all 16: And he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up and as his custom was he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and stood up for to read 17: And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah And when he had opened the book he found the place where it was written 18: The Spirit of the Lord ^{Adonai YHWH Isaiah 61:1} is upon me because ^YHWH he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind to set at liberty them that are bruised 19: To herald the acceptable year of the LORD ^{YHWH Isaiah 61:2, 2 Cor 6:1-2} 20: And he closed the book [1] and he gave it back to the attendant and sat down And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened upon him 21: And he began to say unto them This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears

[1] Jesus did not finish reading the rest of that verse [Isaiah 61:2] because only part-one ^P-1 was being fulfilled during the days of his first coming ^{Unto us a child is born….}. The rest of the verse says: “to proclaim…and the Day of the vengeance of our God ^{P-2 “The Indignation” | Great Tribulation | Jacob’s Trouble | 2nd Coming} (/) and comfort all that mourn ^P-3….” ^{1000 years | Christ’s Kingdom}

John Chapter 7: Feasts of the Lord Jesus is God

    1: After these things Iesous walked in Galilee[1] for he would not walk in Jewry [Judaea] because the Jews sought to kill him 2: Now the Jew’s feast of Tabernacles was at hand[2] 3: His brothers therefore said to him Depart from here and go into Judaea that your disciples also may see the works that you do 4: For there is no one that does anything in secret but they themselves seek to be known openly If you do these things show yourself to the world 5: For neither did his brothers believe in him[3] 6: Then Iesous said to them My time is not yet come but your time is always ready 7: The kosmos cannot hate you but me it hates because I testify against it that the works thereof are evil 8: You go up to this feast I go not up yet to this feast for my time is not yet fully come 9: When he had said these words to them he abode still [remained behind] in Galilee 10: But after his brothers had gone up then went he also up to the feast not openly but as it were in secret 11: Then the Jews sought him at the feast and said Where is he 12: And there was much secret debate among the people concerning him for some said He is a good man others said No but he deceives the people 13: However no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews [corrupt Jewish leadership] 14: Now about the middle of the feast Iesous went up into the temple, and taught 15: And the Jews marvelled saying How does this man know scripture having never learned [studied with the masters][4] 16: Iesous answered them and said My teaching is not mine but his that sent me 17: If any will do his will they shall know of the doctrine whether it be from ho Theos or whether I speak of myself 18: [They] that speak of themselves seek their own glory but He that seeks His glory that sent Him the same is true and no unrighteousness is in Him 19: Did not Moses give you the law and yet none of you keeps the law Why do you go about to kill me 20: The people answered and said you have a devil who goes about to kill you 21: Iesous answered and said to them I have done one work and you all marvel 22: Moses therefore gave to you circumcision not because it is of Moses but of the fathers and you on the Sabbath day circumcise a man 23: If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision that the law of Moses should not be broken are you angry at me because I have made a man every bit whole on the Sabbath day 24: Judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgment ^{1 Samuel 16:7} 25: Then said some [who were] from Jerusalem Is not this he whom they seek to kill 26: But, look he speaks boldly and they say nothing to him Do the rulers know [believe] indeed that this is most certainly Christos 27: But [how can that be?] we know this man from where he comes but when Christos comes no one knows where  he will come from[5] 28: Then cried Iesous in the temple as he taught exhorting You both know me and you know from where I AM and I am not come of myself but he that sent me is true whom you know not 29: But I know him for I am from him and he has sent me 30: Then they sought to take him but no one laid hands on him because his hour was not yet come[6] 31: And many of the people believed on him and said When Christos comes will he do more miracles than these which this man has done ^{Matthew 11:2-5} 32: The Pharisees heard that the people secretly conferred together [of] such things concerning him and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him 33: Then said Iesous to them Yet a little while am I with you and then I go to him that sent me 34: You shall seek me and shall not find me and where I am there you cannot come 35: Then said the Jews among themselves Where will he go that we shall not find him will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles 36: What manner of saying is this that he said You shall seek me and shall not find me and where I am there you cannot come ^{2 Thessalonians 1:9}. 37: On the last day that great day of the feast Iesous stood and cried saying If anyone thirst let them come to me and drink 38: They that believe on me as the scripture has said out of their bellies [spirits] shall flow rivers of living water 39: But this spoke he of the [Holy] Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive for the Holy Ghost was not yet given because that Iesous was not yet glorified 40: Many of the people therefore when they heard this saying said Of a truth this is ho Prophet ^{Deuteronomy 18:15}. 41: Others said This is ho Christos But some said Shall Christos come out of Galilee 42: Has not the scripture said That Christ comes of the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was[7] 43: So there was a division among the people because of him[8] 44: And some of them would have taken him but no one laid hands on him 45: Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees and they said to them Why have you not brought him 46: The officers answered Never man spoke like this man 47: Then the Pharisees answered them Are you also deceived 48: Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him 49: But this people who know not the law are cursed[9] 50: Nikodemos said to them (he that came to Iesous by night being one of them) 51: Does our law judge any before it hears them and knows what they do 52: They answered and said to him Are you also of Galilee[10] Search and look for out of Galilee arises no prophet[11] 3: And everyone went to their own house.

[1] Galilee, north of Samaria, was part of the inheritance of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Nazareth, where Jesus was raised, was part of Galilee, and was largely populated by gentiles. That is the reason Nathaniel asked, “Could anything good come out of Nazareth?” Galilee was not the hub of “Jewry,” so Jesus was relatively safe from the Jewish leadership, who sought to kill him.

[2] The seven Feasts of the Lord were all prophetic in nature ^{Galatians 3:24, Hebrews 10:1}. Each represented some aspect of God’s redemption on our bodies, souls, and the earth itself through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The feast of Tabernacles foreshadowed the first 1000 years of Christ’s reign after he returns to earth (with all the resurrected and caught up saints) and defeats his enemies at the battle of Armageddon ^{Isaiah 65:18-25, Revelation 19:11-14, 20:4-6}.

[3] Two of Jesus’ natural brothers (sons of Mary and Joseph) did become believers (whether before or after his death and resurrection, we do not know). James and Jude, the brothers of Jesus, wrote the books of the New Testament that bear their names.

[4] People, today, still put more faith in theological credentials than in the calling of God and the ability of the Holy Spirit to give understanding to his people accord to his Word.

[5] The scriptures revealed clearly where Christ would come from, beginning with Micah who revealed that Messiah—whose goings forth had been from “everlasting” (this identified him as the Almighty)—would make his debut as a human, in Bethlehem. After that, he would reside in Egypt followed by Nazareth (which was located in the largely gentile province of Galilee).

[6] This refers to the appointed times and seasons of God ^{Ecclesiastes 3:1, Acts 1:7}, who does not do things in a haphazard manner.

[7] God has promised that he will do nothing without revealing his plans to his people ^{Isaiah 48:3-5, Amos 3:7, John 16:13}. These people should have known better. Messiah was born in Bethlehem, but he was not raised there. Within a few years of his birth, his family migrated to Egypt. After that, they returned to Israel and settled in Nazareth, which became known as Jesus’ “home town.” All of this was foretold. It was spoken by the prophets (apparently, part of the Jew’s oral tradition, but well-known and widely accepted as true) that Messiah would live in a town of Galilee, called Nazareth. That is the reason he was called a Nazarene ^{Matthew 2:19-23}.

[8] The people were divided over Messianic facts which were all true, in and of themselves. But they failed to connect the dots (so to speak). They failed to see the big picture and were therefore limited in their understanding of the biggest event in history—the coming of the prophesied male child who would crush the serpent’s head ^{Genesis 3:15}. They simply could not make sense of the fact that Messiah would come from three different places, Bethlehem, Egypt, and Nazareth. Their vision was limited because they chose not to believe that which they could not understand. It is imperative that God’s people believe the entire Word of God—even the parts we do not understand. 

[9] Over and over, we see in scripture where the educated elite despise the uneducated masses for their “ignorance.” Yet, in this case, it was the educated elite who were ignorant. The common people showed greater wisdom in receiving the prophets (including John the Baptizer, whom the elite hated) and the Messiah (whom the elite also hated).

[10] This question was meant as an insult to Nikodemos. The Pharisees did not have an answer to his [true] rhetorical question, so they attacked him personally. 

[11] The verse in Matthew 2:23 shows that the spoken prophecy (obviously coming from more than one prophet), that Messiah would be called a Nazarene, was not only well known but widely accepted as coming from true prophets. The corrupt leaders of the day were therefore making a dishonest play on words when they said, “search” (the canon of scriptures) and you will find no mention of Nazareth in connection to Messiah.
