God's Covenant With Israel!


'The time is coming,' declares the Lord,
'When I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel
And with the house of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers
When I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt,
Because they broke my covenant,
Though I was a husband to them,' declares the Lord.

'This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
After that time,'
Declares the Lord.
'I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God and they will be my people.
No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, Saying, 'Know the Lord,'
Because they will all know me,
From the least of them to the greatest,'
Declares the Lord.
'For I will forgive their wickedness
And will remember their sins no more.'

[Here, God is talking about the New Covenant that Christ Jesus would bring into effect by His shed blood on the cross of Calvary and the out pouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. In the New Covenant the Holy Spirit puts God's law in the mind of the believer
And writes it upon their heart and becomes their teacher.]

This is what the Lord says,
He who appoints the sun to shine by day,
Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar--
The Almighty is his name:

'Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,' declares the Lord,
'Will the descendants of Israel
Ever cease to be a nation before me.'

This is what the Lord says:
'Only if the heavens above can be measured
And the foundations of the earth below be searched out
Will I reject all the descendants of Israel
Because of all they have done,' declares the Lord.

'The days are coming,' declares the Lord,
'When this city will be rebuilt for me
From the Tower of Hananel to the corner Gate.
The measuring line will stretch
From their straight to the hill of Gareb
And then turn to Goah.
The whole valley where dead bodies and ashes are thrown,
And all the terraces out to the Kidron Valley on the east
As far as the corner of the Horse Gate,
Will be holy to the Lord.
The city will never again be uprooted or demolished.'
(Jeremiah 31:31-40)

God Almighty is in absolute control over what happens on earth.
The nations that are currently threatening Israel will soon be no more.
The mighty hand of God will accomplish this.
What is about to happen is as marvelous as the days of Noah;
The days when Israel was delivered out of Egypt.
It will all happen right before our eyes.

Satan will be put away along with all who receive his “mark' and worship him. Evil will be no more.

Christ Jesus will take a Bride to Himself. There will be a wonderful wedding supper. This is a glorious day we are living in.

It will be glorious for all who can say along with King David:

One thing I ask, this is what I seek
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life
To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
And seek Him in His temple. (Psalm 27:4)

Whom have I in Heaven but you?
And being with you, I desire nothing on earth. (Psalm 73:25)

I said to the Lord, 'You are my Lord;
Apart from you I have no good thing.' (Psalm 16:2)

As God has written, so it shall be. Hallelujah! Maranatha!
