Peace – Word Study By The Bible Project It really strikes me how much depth there is to this one word and that peace means ‘completeness’ or ‘being made whole’. So the concept of World Peace will never be achieved, because the world cannot be made whole without Christ. However we can receive Inner Peace […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 21-22
21:1-2-it’s almost as if he had never heard Jeremiah speak. Go ask him what wonderful things God’s going to do for us? Well first off do you remember literally throwing this man in prison for claiming he speaks the word of God?! I can almost imagine a smug face guy looking down at Jeremiah saying […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 17-18
17:8 = Psalm 1:3. Tree planted by water. Only times that phrase is used. So we can assume J is quoting David. 17:9 – I’ve heard this verse quoted many times. Interesting to see it in context though. Verses 8 and 10 both are metaphors about bearing fruit and whether or not you follow God. […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 15-16
Both of these chapters have a similar structure. First half: death, second half: silver lining. Chapter 15: choose how you want to die, but I will spare you since you asked. Chapter 16: everyone’s going to die but I’ll redeem Israel later. Two things really stood out to me. 16:10-11- when answering the people why […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 13-14
13 – So first off Israel isn’t supposed to be like a loincloth aka underwear for God (v.11 ESV). It should be girdle (KJV) or belt (NIV). Basically a strong piece of clothing it keeps everything where it should be. Israel should be the strongest other nations it is the best example how things should […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 11-12
Chapter 11. God has warned and warned you and you did not listen, so because you broke the Covenant you’ll die. And then He says the interesting thing: I will not listen to you if you cry for mercy. Yet we know that Israel will cry for mercy and the Lord will deliver them. Sounds […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 3-4
So we continue the warning and accusation of Israel and also Judah this time. Interesting analogy in chapter 3. God put Israel away with a decree of divorce Judah, the wayward sister, did not learn from that. In Jeremiah continues to discuss the exact way in which the Lord will allow them to go their […]
Daily Bible Reading: Jeremiah 1-2
Once again enjoy the video. Fascinating stuff that I never knew or even considered before. one of the things I will need to remember while reading it is that this is an anthology written by a scribe. So there may be points where the topic changes abruptly, I’ll need to make note where one story […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 65-66
65:1-16: if I’m reading this right God is saying, open my arms to you and you rejected me so I’ll reject you. 17: so the words created, heavens, earth, are the exact same Hebrew words used in Genesis 1:1. The only difference is the addition of the word ‘new’. Which in this case means: different, […]
Daily Bible Reading: Isaiah 63-64
Chapter 63 – after talking with the Lord about his anger that killed people, Isaiah’s response is to discuss his Mercy, and then ask for mercy. usually when we are in the pits of despair we just wallow in it. We need to remember all the good things the Lord has done for us already, […]
