SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 10/5/2016 11:41 PM
My Worship Time Focus:
The Land will be Healed
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Zech. 14:8
Message of the verses: “8 And in that day living waters will flow out of
Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the
western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.”
In this SD
we will beginning the last main point, “The Lord Reigns over all the Earth,”
from the commentary of Dr. Warren Wiersbe, as this last main point will
conclude his commentary. He writes the
following introduction to this last main point:
“And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; in that day shall there
be one Lord, and His name one’ (v. 9).
After the nations have been punished and Israel has been purified, the
Lord will establish His righteous kingdom and reign on David’s throne (Luke
1:32-33; Rev. 17:14; 19:16). His reign
will be universal (‘over all the earth’), He will be the only God worshiped,
and His name will be the only name honored.
(See Ps. 72; Jer. 30:7-9.) What
will happen when the King reigns supremely?”
The first
thing we will see happen is that the land will be healed and this is from our
verse for today’s SD, (v. 8).
We have
mentioned in earlier SD’s that Jerusalem is the only great city of antiquity
that was not built near a large river, however during the Kingdom Age, a river
of “living waters” will flow from Jerusalem and bring healing and fertility to
the land. When we studied the book of
Ezekiel chapter 47:1-12 we saw more about this river along with Joel 3:18
too. We see that the river is divided so
half goes toward the Dead Sea and half toward the Mediterranean Sea which is
described in our verse as the western sea and the eastern sea. The dead sea will be rescued at this time
when this river flows out of Jerusalem, and that will be good news for the
nation of Israel.
