SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 7/3/2016 9:58 PM
My Worship Time Focus: PT-6 Coronation of the King
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Zechariah 6:15
Message of the verses: “15 “Those who are far off will come and
build the temple of the LORD." Then you will know that the LORD of hosts
has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your
God.”
We are
looking at “The Condition” in this SD. “And
it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God.” What is he saying in this portion of verse
15? MacArthur writes that “What He is
saying is that your participation in the kingdom is dependent on you. The fulfillment of the kingdom is gonna
happen because God has so planned it. But
whether or not you’re a participant of it or not is gonna be dependent upon
whether you obeyed His voice. Not, it is
true that the kingdom cannot come until God judges and God saves Israel. But listen, that’s God’s plan to carry
out. What He’s saying here is, this is
going to come to pass for you if you will diligently obey the voice of the Lord
your God. Not all will. Did you know that when Christ comes…and it
says all Israel shall be saved…do you know that doesn’t mean every single Jew;
it just means the nation in general.
Why? Because Ezekiel 20:28 says
even then there will be Jews who will rebel and God will purge out the
rebels. You see, the kingdom will come
and God will bring it to pass but only the obedient will enjoy it.”
This
portion of this SD concludes the sixth chapter of the book of Zachariah and in
our next SD from the book of Zachariah we will look at it from some of the
comments that Dr. Warren Wiersbe will have for us. I hope all will be looking forward to it, I
know I am.
